Morning Daily News Update – 23rd Aug 2026

Good Morning Everyone!

I had a rare fun afternoon at the Hill Dicky yesterday, although there are still some defensive frailties that we’re going to need to work on. As the old saying goes “You can’t just rely on Jordan Pickford to bail you out with wonder saves all the time”. I think that was Aristotle. Anyway, before we get to the Morning Daily News Update, let’s have a look at recent postings to the BOD

For fans of current day wrestling:

Niz has got this week’s AEW Collision for us. Check out the Nizster’s archives as well for his AAA review

For fans of retro wrestling:

Kool Kat Bourne has got another NXT 2.0 review for us, with Solo Sikoa, LA Knight and Grayson Waller all in action

Maffew takes a break from 2000 WCW (and can you blame him?) for some IWA Japan, featuring all kinds of wild brawling

Scott Keith as some WWF Superstars from January 1987, as WrestleMania III continues to take shape

Now for the Morning Daily News Update; with the news coming from F4W

Bayley: ‘I believe in women’s wrestling and will continue to fight for it’

Well she’s done a lot for it over in the west

Avery Styles appearance announced for TNA Lockdown

Well that chair stacking “controversy” hasn’t hurt him getting bookings then

Looking back at SummerSlam 1999, notably Tori and Ivory’s less-than-stellar effort

My main recollections of that show are Shane Vs Test and the huge pop that D’Lo Brown got for his entrance

And that’s your Morning Daily News Update

It looks like McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari will battle it out in Zandvoort today, but you can never count out Verstappen on his home circuit

Stay tuned for Kat’s Evening Thread and have a good day!
