Not good news regarding another indie poaching. Shane Strickland, Fenix, and Pentagon have all put holds on 2019 dates. The WWE have turned into the Yankees.

Just wait till they throw tons of money at Cody, Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, and anyone else they can to sabotage that NJPW/ROH show.

Honestly, unless it's a blank check, I can't see the Young Bucks or Omega coming over unless they have a say in creative. They aren't dumb and they see what happens to the NXT call ups once Vince/Dunn have say.

Well today they announced Renee Young will be joining the Raw commentary team as a “guest commentator” this week (replacing Coach it sounds like), so this sounds like something they are definitely testing.

That's exactly it. They have the position to not jump for the money. They can make a good living doing what they are doing. I get it why others go because it can be better than their current pay, benefits like medical treatment and even catering and probably more. For someone like EC3, what was he going to do next unless Impact somehow could get a money truck?

Kenny and especially the Bucks make fucking bank off merchandise. Even with the long reach of WWE advertising, they likely wouldn't reach the same cash flow once you factor in WWE's take of the profits.

I agree. It's the Curt Hawkins and Tye Dillengers. They won't see a fraction of what headliners in other companies see so it's in their best interest to stay. Or if they were on the indies and WWE offered it would be best for them to go.

**Kalmado** · 2018-08-09 11:48

Double so might as well say something else. Rumor mill is saying Jericho is interested in heading to Impact. They do have a working relationship with NJPW. Callis and Jericho are buds. This would be such a positive thing to happen for the industry.

Takeover triple threat is now Gargano vs. Ciampa in a last man standing match.

Something has gotta happen for Ciampa to win and take Gargano out, because that story needs to culminate at the Takeover before WrestleMania.

**Melena** · 2018-08-09 17:59

No way Ciampa is dropping the title this fast. So yeah, can see maybe Gargano accidentally getting taken out by his wife who tries to save him or something.

Gargano keeps getting back up despite being horribly injured. Candace forces him to stay down for his own safety. Boom there ya go, you’re welcome NXT.

MYC Night 2 Spoilers

Spoiler: show

**Anoat** · 2018-08-09 22:21

Well we all saw that finale (at least 1/2) coming from the beginning.

There's a 1/100 talent that is the best choice to take the title off that fuckface (oops, NJPW frowns on profanity now), assuming he's not in the main event of WK. The idea of Jericho-Ishii doesn't really interest me that much, and that's as someone that's a big fan of both. It just seems too odd of a... styles clash. Who knows if they'll pick up Jericho-EVIL this fall. I just think that Jericho vs. bruiser types is probably not the best call, but EVIL is probably closer to something that could work.

Anyway, super pumped for these last 3 nights of G1.

I like Jay White and sort of want to see him win just to eliminate Okada before his match, but I'm not ready for him being in the finals. Any of the other 6 matchups could be absolutely amazing. My preference for G1 winners: Tanahashi > Naito > Ibushi > Okada > I don't care

I'm expecting Okada to go out there tonight in "full Okada mode" since he seemed to snap out of the funk after the EVIL match, and if he were still sad Okada, I'd definitely buy Tanahashi winning. Dontaku seemed like it could be the last major match between the two, and Tana might pick up a win over Okada on a Night 1-4 or Osaka G1 show in the future, but not on 17-19 or a bigger show.

The first half main event for the Seattle Progress show was British Strong Style vs Rey Horus/Flamita/Bandido. The match was one of the best matches I've seen live. BSS is also super nice in person and the UK Title is fucking gorgeous in person.

**Vil** · 2018-08-10 07:12

A Block is completed.

Spoiler: show

**Delirium** · 2018-08-10 07:19

Some great matches for the A Block finals. Next two days should be pretty damn awesome.

The ROH/NJPW show for MSG is officially sold out. Cheeseburger is a fucking draw!
