Quick question here (I don't remember if I already asked it but if I did, nevermind): is it possible to sign some free agents for one-night appearances and then release them immediately? Would they count on the roster cap?

Tuesday, Week 3 October 2018 RAW -Bobby Lashley beat Lio Rush & Lince Dorado -Dash Wilder beat Noam Dar & Samir Singh -Jinder Mahal beat TJP -Chad Gable, Goldust & Samoa Joe beat Hideo Itami, Kalisto & Tozawa -Breezango beat Drew McIntyre & No Way Jose -Bayley beat Ruby Riott -The Shield (Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins) beat Elias & Bobby Roode Masashi Takeda suffered a Broken Ulna in last night's AJPW Badlands tour event and will be sidelined To Wrestle-1: Tadao Yasuda Signed a TV deal with FightBox in Europe To TJP: Bomber Saito To SMASH: Father James Mitchell To PWG: Daryl Bonilla To NGW: Daniel Hayes

The usual Buddy Rose main eventing Portland show always delivers. One has to think that eventually, Buddy will win the big one in Portland!

They were penciled in for Wrestlemania this year, I believe, but when Ambrose got injured, this was scrapped. As for the turn itself, if you look at it objectively, you could say that Roman was basically the glue that held The Shield together and because Dean has nothing against Roman, he couldn't pull the trigger on turning on Seth. But with Roman stepping away to fight leukemia, there was now nothing to prevent Dean for giving Seth his receipt from 2014 when Seth turned against them. It's fascinating though because we can now make the argument as to if Dean is more of a lunatic or calculating individual.

Allegedly, writers have been told that John Cena will not work Crown Jewel. No update on Bryan yet but there's a lot of outside pressure on Vince to pull the plug on the whole event. Or at least, to change its venue.

Some really good technical wrestling action in that card in San Francisco. Great match between Harley and Steamboat in the main event. And Ace's stock continues to rise with that time limit draw vs Nick Bockwinkel!

Cena's got a flourishing mainstream movie career going right now. It isn't worth throwing that all away for a gig that he only does part-time anymore.

They're probably weeping during commercial breaks as well. This has to be the toughest RAW for that whole crew in a long time.

....and what if they didn't know beforehand? What if Roman told only Vince about it? Does it matter at this point? The man's got fucking cancer. This is horrible.

Monday, Week 3 October 2018 To Shine: Nick Patrick To IWRG: Martha Villalobos. Adrelina, Rolling Boy & Centrvion are the new IWRG Intercontinental Trios Champions after defeating Psycho Kid, Azteca & Iron Kid at the IWRG Caravana de Campeones 2018 event last night. Rokambole Jr & Villano V Jr are now a tag team To BJW: Takeshi Morishima Seiki Yoshioka beat Jiro Kuroshio to capture the Wrestle-1 Result championship at last night's Powerslave tour event at Shinjuku Face. Yuji Hino and Andy Wu are now known as The Social Elite Gama Singh was less than flattering towards Abyss in a recent shoot interview. Given the status of Abyss in the company, it'll be interesting to see how Impact management will respond. YAMATO and Onodera won the AJPW Junior Tag Battle of Glory tournament during the Raising an Army Memorial Series event as they defeated Tajiri & Hikaru Sato in the finals. Tajiri is suffering the effects of a gruelling schedule and people within the promotion are worried he could get injured soon. To DDT: Tadao Yasuda To ZERO1: Shuichi Nishinaga & Tomokazu Kurahashi To Ice Ribbon: Kakuryo Yasuda To NCW: Jean-François Kelly Miscellaneous: Radio interview with Kris Navarro

Brad Shepard is confirming Robbie Barstool's report.

Nothing says that the Cena/Bryan refusing to work Crown Jewel is false, though. Given that the vast majority of the roster expressed their concern about it.

Penta el Zero M is the new PWG World Champion after beating WALTER at Untitled 2018 last night to start his first reign as champion To MLW: Nick Patrick Two titles changed hands at last night's Change the World event.

I'm usually a "I'll believe it when I'll see it" type of guy but regardless of the veracity of this rumor, this made early 2019 way more interesting, considering how highly sought after Cody & the Young Bucks will be.

Friday, Week 2 October 2018 Impact Wrestling -The OGz beat El Hijo del Fantasma & Caleb Konley -Pentagon Jr beat Rich Swann -Kongo Kong beat Rohit Raju & Gursinder Singh -oVe beat LAX in a non-title match -Shotzi Blackheart beat The Undead Maid of Honor -Sami Callihan & Johnny Impact beat Austin Aries & Fenix Xplosion -Tessa Blanchard beat The Undead Maid of Honor by DQ -The Cult of Lee & Rich Swann beat Vikas Kumar, Andrew Everett & King -Dave Crist beat Petey Williams by DQ Gerald Brisco is back working backstage as a road agent To Shine: Mike Quackenbush To EVOLVE: Billy Gunn To Lucha Underground: Tom Prichard To EVE: Lance Storm, Billy Kirkwood PWG to soon start broadcasting their shows in iPPV format, Joel Gertner signs with PWG Joined the Union of European Wrestling Alliance Reached a TV deal with a local station in Tohoku Viper & Sumire Natsu now working together as The Cabinet To ICW-EU: Super Dragon To AJPW: Cyber Kong, Takuya Onodera, Kazumi Kikuta To C*4: Don West To NOAH: Hirotsugu Suyama To Progress: Pollyanna, Ayesha Raymond Miscellaneous: -Radio interview with Tesha Price -Yosuke Watanabe suffered an Undisclosed Head injury in a 6-Men Tag last night during a Dragon Gate Fortress Tour event

Well, MACW faithful probably did the same in Florida last time WWF came around! :p

The level of emotion in that main event was plain fantastic. It makes you wonder what's next for Barry Windham. What a great touch to involve Blackjack Mulligan in this. Can't wait to see where this goes next.

However, because of a miscue, Orndorf is nailed in the back by Rocky Johnson, as he was aiming for Wendell Cooley! The show ends with a shoving match between Orndorff and Johnson October 19th, 1986 Ridgewood Grove Arena, New York City Battlebowl Rules: Rip Oliver & Norvell Austin beat Greg Gagne & Tatsutoshi Goto (w/Gary Hart) in 23:11 when Oliver pinned Gagne.

Jim Crockett Promotions presents Worldwide Wrestling Taped at WTBS Studios, Atlanta, GA Broadcasted weekend of October 18th, 1986 Quick and dirty results: The show starts with footage of Mark Youngblood's recent 2 victories over the US Tag Team Champions Rick Rude & Manny Fernandez. The Renegade Warriors come to the set with Tony Schiavone and Bob Caudle. Mark says that he proved by beating the Awesome Twosome that the Renegade Warriors are to be taken seriously and they feel like they deserve a shot at the US Tag Champs. Chris Youngblood says that he pushed US Champ Ted Dibiase to his very limits and it's a matter of time before they win the US Tag titles. Rude & Fernandez come to the set and Rude says that the Warriors haven't done anything as a tag team so in their eyes, they don't deserve anything. Until they do so, they're not gonna get any title shot. Rude & Fernandez walk off, leaving the Renegade Warriors frustrated... -Koko B. Ware beat Bad News Brown by DQ after Bad News Brown refused to listen to referee Earl Hebner's orders and shoved him. After the match, Norvell Austin ran in with a chair to chase off Bad News. Schiavone & Caudle are questioning whether or not Bad News Brown's recent shortcomings against Dibiase & the Awesome Twosome is getting to him... -The PYT Express are headed to the broadcast booth as Tony Schiavone asks both men what they thought of what just happened. Koko B. Ware says that he always knew that Bad News Brown wasn't someone who played well with others but he thought he'd have at least respect for hardworking referees like Earl Hebner. Koko says that for Jim Crockett's first event in New York City tomorrow night, he's gonna make sure that he's gonna get a fair fight. Koko demands to Jim Crockett to appoint a special guest referee for the occasion. Norvell Austin offers to even be banned from ringside if necessary, since he wants his buddy Koko to get his revenge on Bad News Brown. Tony Schiavone says that we should hear from Crockett tomorrow on World Championship Wrestling. -In the main event, Mark Lewin beat Kerry Von Erich after a distraction from Gary Hart. Gary Hart never stopped repeating that he would always haunt him until the Von Erichs are eradicated...That brought out The Missing Link who attacked both Lewin & Kerry! What's happening with Link???
