Ibushi previously had an exhibition match for GLEAT in July, which marked his return to action after he suffered a right tibiofibular ligament tear and a right ankle lateral ligament injury at NOAH The New Year 2024 in January. He has since competed in two matches for DDT.

GLEAT announced that Kota Ibushi will be in action at their October 6th event. His opponent was not named in the announcement.

Don't injure anything else Kota, fuck.

I will also livestream me eating my own asshole the day Mayu shows up in AEW * but it would be a hell of a thing to see!

* At no point in fucking time will I actually do this nor does this constitute a legally binding Lemmygreement, nor dare.

Puck: A Premium Entertainment Industry newsletter as reported by PWInsider... so Puck made a story, PWInsider reported what was in it... here we go...

AEW's deal with WBD is "close to finalizing a package" and a formal announcement "could come as soon as next week, barring any last-minute challenges."

It looks like it will be a four-year deal (three years guaranteed, plus an option)" with AEW broadcasts on "TNT, TBS and TruTV."

broadcasts would be "twice a week" but did not give further explanation of what that meant

$170 million per year number is "apparently in the ballpark"

"AEW is also pitching another package, primarily to broadcast channels."

No details on the PPV's being added to the deal or not.

Excuse the verbiage, it's a FS article that went public so Sapp typed it up around the time the episode happened, but since it's public now:

AEW ended Dynamite with a hot angle.

Sorry.

AEW went off the air with a widely acclaimed arson featuring Adam Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland. Page burned down the childhood home of Swerve Strickland, which was a major purchase for him after the recent news of his contract extension. We're told that this was all coordinated and planned, and even though the deal was announced, was actually finalized shortly after. Swerve had over a half year left on his deal, but the company saw a storyline opportunity to announce it as well.

The actual house that was used saw a very small crew travel to burn it down, and had professional supervision. The angle had been planned for months, we're told, with many on the AEW roster not knowing it was happening. Numerous talent both in and out of AEW congratulated Swerve, not knowing buying the house was an angle. One wrestler told us that Swerve actually kayfabed them and thanked them. There were numerous meticulous references with the angle in mind, specifically to help create more conflict into the story where Hangman Page could largely be viewed as a babyface leading into it.

We're told that there are storyline reasons planned as to why Hangman Page isn't in jail or on charges. Fightful Select reported this week that Hangman and Swerve were slated to main event AEW All Out. The two ended up having a violent match that followed.

Needless to say, those we've spoken to in AEW were very happy about how the angle was executed, and the reception associated with it. Numerous talent we saw in Chicago at Black Label Pro also went out of their way to watch the angle unfold after.

For very strange people online thinking that the house in Swerve's video and the one in Hangman's segment weren't the same, it absolutely was the same.

Welcome to SquaredCircle's 'Meme Monday' - Hangman Edition!

Have you seen a great wrestling meme this week about Cowboy Shit that just made you crack up? Did you watch a silly moment in a show and just need to craft a fiery meme out of it? Well post em below, cowpokes!

The highest voted meme shall win and be showcased in next week's thread if it doesn't burn down!

Last week's winner attached!

Thunder Rosa is injured.

The 38-year-old revealed on Busted Open Radio today that she has been dealing with a concussion and will need “a couple of weeks” to recover.

Rosa’s last match took place on the August 31 edition of AEW Collision when she competed in a four-way against Serena Deeb, Queen Aminata, and match winner Hikaru Shida. Before that, she defeated Deonna Purrazzo in a Bullrope match on the August 10 edition of Collision.

“If you feel like you have a concussion, make sure you stop. Don’t get in there. It’s not worth it. I can tell you… right now, I’m suffering a concussion. So I’m gonna be out for a little bit, for a couple weeks,” Rosa said on the show.

Rosa has wrestled for AEW 21 times since returning from a 16-month injury absence in late December. This includes four matches during AEW’s residency at the Arlington Esports Arena in Rosa’s home state of Texas.

So AEW is coming to my town, and I want to go. One problem. Ticketmaster.

In order to sign up for an account, you need to create an account. In order to create an account, you need a phone number. They will not accept my voip phone number, which is what I use.

Ticketmaster says that I need to go out and buy a cell phone, AND sign up for a monthly plan. Just to buy tickets.

Money is in my account. I can pay for my tickets right now. I've been trying since yesterday when they went on sale.

But I can't create an account, because of a lack of a cell phone number.

The box office won't be open until october 18. Show is on October 30th.

So I'm sure all the good seats will be gone by then.

Guess I'm not going to a show I've wanted to go to for 2 years. I couldn't go last year because I was dealing with cancer, and had $0 income.
