From the pages of the BOD Magazine, here’s UPDATE…
Good evening, Doomers! If you’re late to the party, we’ve entered our bi-weekly “who should we cut?” conversation in regard to WWE and AEW’s bloated rosters. We’ve got NXT We Still Need a Name For This Show tonight; Josh Briggs takes on Yoshiki Inamura in a Philly Street Fight, Fatal Influence meets The Elegance Brand with Masha Slamovich as the special referee, Trick Williams battles Je’Von Evans for the right to challenge Oba Femi at Heatwave for the NXT Title, Ricky Saints faces Casper Troy, we’ve got an appearance from Joe Hendry, a face-to-face with Blake Monroe and Jordynne Grace, and Chelsea Green and Ethan Page propose a treaty to Tavion Heights and Tyra Mae Steele. Not much mystery to this show.
Kat has all the details on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, Phrederic calms down his Gunther smear campaign long enough to cover the August 10th Dream Star Grand Prix, and Alex has Part XIV of Mitsuharu Misawa’s book.
Karrion Kross Announces 1st Match Since “Leaving” WWE
If Kross is done with WWE, why are the news pages still using his WWE name for the headline? Shouldn’t it be KILLER Kross? Anyway, the match is scheduled for September 21st, and it’s nice to see WWE lets talent not-named Natalya work outside shows.
Kevin Nash Comments on Bret Hart’s SummerSlam Situation
Bret vented frustration over not being seated as a special guest for the PLE, claiming Nash was given a seat somewhere in his statement. Nash denied being there at all and said he’s stopped showing up at these events for similar criticisms that go along with Bret’s, which turned into a “We left for WCW, so we won’t get the same respect as an Undertaker.”
YouTube Spotlight: Christopher Daniels in WCW
Before becoming a cornerstone of TNA and Ring of Honor, Christopher Daniels had a brief stint in WCW at the turn of the millennium. Relive his rare appearances as “The Fallen Angel” looked to make his mark on the big stage.
As always, enjoy yourselves, talk about how much you want to cut talent from a roster you don’t have the responsibility of paying, and come out dooming! – GH
