Maybe NJPW have decided to follow the model of MLW & TNA, why pay big contracts when you can borrow talent off your business partner on the cheap( MLW & CMLL, TNA & WWE, NJPW & AEW)

Really surprised by the Naito news, just because I don't see him going AEW apart from the odd guest appearances or WWE in any form, curious to see what he does next.

Ed Gamble showing up on a Progress wrestling show doing an angle with Phil Wang for a comedy wrestling show, and he's calling all the crowd incels.

Well the champions league journey continues for Villa, getting to the quarter finals is a great achievement.

It's been great to watch the whole WXW 16 carat gold weekend on Triller_TV, as someone who hasnt seen a lot of WXW, I thought the shows were very good and some great matches.

Just finished the Chamber and thought it was a great show, best Chamber matches in years, and the Cena turn was incredible, up there with the Hogan 96 turn, this last year with him being heel should be great. Also, I am far more interested in him vs. Cody than I was before.

Well great comeback from Villa there, got lucky with the keeper mistake, but a great fight back, Asensio is a joy to watch, and credit where's it due, Rashford was great when he came on and got both assists.

Rashford on loan with option to buy make sense, if it doesn't work he goes back, if it works Villa might get champions league again, Emery's track record with strikers who have been written off is fantastic.

I think Emery could get something out of Rashford, but don't see it happening, my prediction for last few days of the window (a total guess), Tel to Chelsea, Felix to Villa, Nkuknu to Man Utd and Rashford to Tottenham.

Great result last night for Villa, especially considering all the distractions from transfers and having so many injuries in defence, including Cash during the game, I think we keep Watkins, use Malen as back up striker and get a couple of defenders before Monday.

If Villa can get £80 million or more Duran from Saudi I would take it, already have signed Malen, who can back up Watkins for the rest of the season, and takes away any FFP issues this summer, plus Duran clearly wants to go.

I remember watching ICW when Joe Hendry's first promo video and thinking he stood out and after a while hoping he would get his shot somewhere, so really glad to see him win the TNA title last night, even if it feels like a stop gap to eventually joining WWE.

In a way I think it's a bit of wasted opportunity if it's just NXT wrestlers going to work TNA, it could be beneficial to have main roster people not doing anything or need a refresh go TNA for a few months.

With the TNA ppv hinting at NXT involvement, with the current writers of all i keep wondering is so which NXT wrestler screws Joe Hendry out of the title this ppv.(it's gonna be bloody Gallus)

For those curious it seems Netflix has every Mania, Summerslam, Rumble, a lot but not all Survivor Series, the last 2 years of Raw, Smackdown and NXT(plus random episodes of all them at least 1 per year) and NXT section has all the Takeovers. Plus loads of other PPVs.

Was hoping Rooney would work out for Plymouth but clearly been a disaster, no idea where Plymouth go next, guessing it might be Lowe or Schumacher, who knows maybe Warnock to come out of retirement to keep them up.

Listened to the fight on the Radio and thought it was a draw, and the 2 commentators, one had Fury and one had Usyk by 1 round, can't fault Usyk though, simply incredible fighter

Honestly, I think the Villa win says more about City than Villa as Villa has been so inconsistent, it's gonna be a struggle at the moment for Watkins to get back in the team at the moment.

So catching up on the last couple of weeks of WWE, I'm guessing the 1st Raw on Netflix is finishing with a new heel group of Seth, Drew and New Day (and maybe KO too) beating down Cody, Punk, Roman, Sami and Usos. Unless it is gonna be Punk vs Roman at Mania.

While I'm not a big F1 fan, it's pretty clear most of F1 drivers seem to dislike Max Verstappen, and in fairness, he seems to bring a lot of it on himself. Russell had a point about what happens when things don't go Max's way.

So, based on the weekly adding of old wrestling observers on Sundays, I'm fairly certain the Sunday before Xmas one will be the post Benoit double murder edition. How's that for a strange accidental timing.
