kinda sold on this Kizuna Tanaka vs. Shinno match at the 10/26 MARIGOLD show off the preview tag they had in Korakuen last weekend. Two rookies with tons of potential and an easy to sell rivalry - excited to see what they could deliver.

The dynamic between Tatum Paxley and Izzi Dame in The Culling has been fun thus far. The dynamic of Paxley retaining babyface status despite being in the group has been booked quite well. I like this result.

Last Heritage Cup title match was in June. Seems like it's gone for good

So I'm guessing the Heritage Cup is done. #WWENXT

Matt Cardona hit Josh Briggs with ALL of his big moves and couldn't get a finish. Gets taken out by a big boot for the clean pinfall win. They gave him the dweeb treatment!!

Jack Wannan @jackwannan.bsky.social · 22h

The Hardys confirm that they're facing DarkState at Halloween Havoc, mentioning they'll get revenge on behalf of Evans & Slater. If there truly is no direct follow-up with Slater & Evans facing DarkState, that makes a god-awful booking decision so much worse #WWENXT

Sort of awkward here that Ricky Saints is cutting a promo about Trick Williams but, since this was taped 7 days ago, he cannot mention the glaring detail that Williams dropped the TNA title over the weekend at BFG. #WWENXT

Jack Wannan @jackwannan.bsky.social · 22h

oh hell yeah NXT is pre-taped tonight which means the episode is just uploaded to Netflix instead of streamed. im gonna be done watching in just 80 minutes

Jack Wannan @jackwannan.bsky.social · 2d

i have finally accidentally cracked my iphone XR. end of an era

Jack Wannan @jackwannan.bsky.social · 2d

I think there are criticisms about the booking that are valid (Sareee/Syuri being an opener, Takeshita getting the belt). But from a pure wrestling standpoint, KOPW was a really solid card.

This is 1000% speculation but. Maybe part of it is since nooj contracts are so frequently up in January, maybe there are some folks they can't guarantee? I don't know, just an idea

Curious if this means Battle in the Valley is off for next year. That was, in my opinion, one of their bigger U.S. shows on the schedule, especially since it would follow Wrestle Kingdom so closely
