Dont think anyone here watches it. But it looks like XPW is done again. Their product the last 3 shows was absolute shit and it looks like their main draw Shlak has left.

Their website is still promoting their June show. Dont think they have an IG

Sucks

Arisa Nakajima will make her only appearance in Marigold teaming with Sareee against Nanae Takahashi and Chika Goto (strange, Nakajima will might kick her head off) on Giulia’s final show on Monday. Nakajima is retiring next Friday at Seadlinnng’s 9th anniversary show.

September 2, Mayu Iwatani is teaming with Sareee at Sareee-ism Chapter V against Chihiro Hashimoto and Veny.

“This partnership between TNA wrestling and WWE has been the perfect example of business done right,” Hendry told USA TODAY Sports. “Business done right is where every single party wins.”

So far, things are going according to plan. Miguel added the partnership works because both companies have a solid understanding it’s a give-and-take situation where sometimes one product will look stronger than the other. Even though there will be times one company appears to lose, it’s really a win-win the entire time.

“TNA wins because we're selling out regularly now, our crowds are getting so big. We're gaining so much from the increased exposure,” Hendry said. “WWE, a lot of their NXT talents are getting the opportunity to perform for a different audience. Wrestlers win and the fans win because it's an exciting product.”

Giulia has defeated Mai Sakurai, but won’t actually be finished until next week. She’s going to have her traditional farewell gauntlet match, where she has requested Tsukasa Fujimoto show up, which I’m wondering if anyone knew would happen.

TNA has suspended Rich Swann after his second arrest for disorderly intoxication.

from wrestlezone.com:

rich-swann-impact.jpeg


Brandon Thurston of POST Wrestling reports that TNA star Rich Swann is entering a substance abuse program after he was arrested on June 8 and charged with disorderly public intoxication and causing a disturbance. Thurston wrote that TNA informed POST Wrestling that Swann would be entering a substance abuse program.

Thurston cites the public arrest record filed with Seminole country, which states that an individual later identified as Swann tried to forcefully enter an apartment, and the resident called the police. The resident confronted Swann and showed him his gun, so Swann backed up and left. It’s possible that Swann mistook the apartment for his own home, as he lives nearby.

The resident said that he did not want to press charges, but another individual in the neighborhood encountered Swann, as he was following her. Swann allegedly followed her to her door, but she got inside. Officers then took Swann into custody and took him back to the first apartment to confirm that he was the one who tried to forcibly enter the residence.

Per Thurston, the police report states that Rich Swann was incoherent, and he appeared to be intoxicated. In the police report, Zane Hoskins of the Altamonte Springs Police Department stated that he asked Swann if he had any alcoholic drinks, and he said that he had. When asked how much, he said, “A lot.”

Hoskins stated that he smelled alcohol on Swann’s breath, and his speech was slurred. Furthermore, the arrest report notes that Swann was taken to John E. Polk Correction Facility and released the next day on a $250 bond.

The full interview goes a lot more. He actively praised AEW and their talent, pointed out that TNA did not do numbers that large in a long time, and didn't do numbers that large again up until this WWE partnership. Also talked about how if it wasn't for Kenny's injuries, he would have done even more (and how Kenny wanted to put over Rich Swann, Josh Alexander, and a couple others too).

The wildest thing from Triplemania for me was Raj Dhesi (fka. Jinder Mahal) and Satnam Singh winning the tag titles. Him tagging with Satnam really means we're one step closer to Jinder vs HOOK

To be expected of the clown show that AAA has become.

Konnan and Vampiro need to both f*** off into the ether and never return again.

Why would this be a thing? Are they two of your favourites?

I mean, I enjoy Hook, and have heard nothing but great things about Raj/Jinder. It's more a joke from when they teased "Former WWE champion" and then it was Jinder. There was some back and forth about how Jinder hadn't won a match in over a calendar year by some of the AEW guys, and Jinder's response was "who tf is HOOK?". Ever since then, my friends and I have been joking about Jinder vs HOOK, and then Jinder got released. And now he's tag champions in AAA with an AEW guy, so it's actually not completely unreasonable to get that match now
