Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson Reportedly Starting Their Own Wrestling Promotion

:idont

Dirt sheets :dizzy

From the second link:

Quote
During the Living The Gimmick: A Pro Wrestling Podcast, it was revealed that Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson are likely in the process of opening their own pro wrestling promotion on the side. They have also reportedly recorded content for this venture as well.

Anderson and Gallows trademarked with Southpaw Wrestling names, and they have been working hard at recording content for their Patreon as well.

If they are aiming to try to make a fake Southpaw Wrestling style show, I am so there.  :lol

TNA/Impact is owned by a billionaire Canadian company right now (Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corporation). They had so much money they decided after axs TV(used to be HDnet, aka Marc Cuban's channel), a middle of a pack Cable channel told them to kick rocks, they just bought the channel to put Impact on.

I decided to watch NXT this week. I thought it was a pretty good ep. I'll try to watch a couple of things from this week's AEW ep. I did find it funny that they made Fyter Fest two weeks, so NXT did Great American Bash for two weeks. Then AEW made the the Dynamite ep in two weeks (July 15th) also a special ep of Fight for the Fallen.

WWE Superstar Kane, in his other guise as Mayor Glenn Jacobs of Knox County, TN, cast the only dissenting vote when the Board of Health acted to require face masks in most public buildings to curb the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

"Knox County Board of Health votes 7-1 to mandate a mask ordinance for anyone inside certain buildings," WVLT-TV sports reporter Zack Rickens tweeted. "Mayor Jacobs is the only nay. Board will re-evaluate the order at its next meeting."

Seems a bit ironic.

Don't remember the latter part with Rikishi, but yeah I remember that wedding angle pretty well, lol.  It got a lot of attention in the media and had praise from groups like GLAAD.  Bet they loved the way it ended.  :lol

That might be the only time where I was legit fooled by Bischoff with that latex mask--  didn't know it was him until he took it off.   :-[

If it plays like All Stars it's gonna be rad.

Different developers.  All-Stars also was produced by former(?) Midway dev Sal Divita.  This game is being made by Saber Interactive, who made such classics as NBA PLaygrounds and Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn.  Dunno, but will keep a positive outlook.

It’s 2k published too :girlaff

If there are more than 5 generic move sets with at most finishers and maybe a couple of signature moves being unique to every wrassler I’ll be stunned :trumps

I wouldn’t be shocked if it was originally a mobile game they had to jazz up cuz there’s no 2k21 and they need to drop a real game to keep the licence

I kind of feel like overall plague time viewership doesn't really matter anyway. Once the world is 'normal' again (if that ever even happens) then we can care about stupid viewer numbers.

This is like the beginning, middle, and end of a horror film.

Asuka uses "methods" to recover her health. I'm surprised she doesn't apply a thick coat of leeches.

Cody Rhodes is a lower mid card level talent at best, the sooner people remember that the better.

I’ll give him that he’s smart enough to keep himself away from the main belt, cos I think the backlash would have started by now

 he’s basically a poor mans jeff Jarrett, but with a bigger last name

Quote
Riddick: Our response to COVID has been highlighted by our tremendous creativity. Importantly, we adapted our business to continue to safely stage in-ring performances, produce other content for our global markets, and multiple distribution channels, as well as to market our brands. Supporting these achievements, we established extensive safety measures to protect the health and well-being of our talent and employees.

To mitigate the potential risk to our performers, we evaluated our operations and cost structure and developed extensive contingency plans. As a result we implemented a comprehensive mix of various short-term cost reductions and cash flow improvement actions. These included reducing executive and board member compensation, increasing operating expenses, third-party staffing, consulting, and talent costs, and reducing employee head count by way of a furlough.

An important outcome of our efforts is that we have been able to substantially offset the loss of live event ticket revenue and merchandise revenue with lower production costs and reduction in other expenses. To enhance liquidity we also deferred spending on our new headquarters, directly reducing 2020 capital expenditures by approximately $140 million. We temporarily suspended the repurchase of stock under our repurchase program, and withdrew $200 million from our revolving credit facility in early April. As such we believe we have sufficient liquidity, which totaled approximately $500 million at the end of the first quarter, to manage the challenges ahead.


I guess WWE doesn't want to mention that they only started testing after the first outbreak.  :doge

Edit:

Answered later in an investor question.

Quote
Paul Levesque: Thank you, Michael. Obviously, as Vince mentioned earlier, the health and safety of our performers, employees, and crew are the company’s top priorities. And since the beginning of this around mid-March we have been producing content on closed sets with only essential personnel in attendance and following guidelines set forth by our medical team in conjunction with state and local officials and the CDC. The protocol for these closed sets are extraordinary and include heightened safety and sanitizing during use, long duration electrostatic and anti-microbial sprays and coatings, pandemic level cleanings, and disinfecting between and after our events.

As it relates to our talent, production, crew, and employees, we conduct COVID-19 testing in advance of any TV or content production, using polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, testing, which is the most statistically valid, highest level of accuracy test available today. No one is allowed to enter a WWE closed set without a negative COVID-19 test. Once on set individuals must wear masks when talent are not performing social distancing and sanitize where appropriate. In the event of a positive test result, individuals must self-quarantine for a minimum of 14 days, will not be cleared to work until they are symptom-free and test negative. Extensive contact tracing is done following any positive test. Individuals possibly exposed are identified in quarantine appropriately.

And this process is constantly being updated. We’re looking at this every day. Our medical staff working with state and local officials, as I mentioned, and the CDC, to reflect the most current data and medical recommendations available.

*Brandon’s note: WWE began testing in late June, after multiple people who were present at the Performance Center contracted the virus.

I'll miss Kairi, but it's sad her claim to fame in WWE is that she was almost murdered three times by two different wrestlers.

She's not leaving WWE so much as she is fleeing.
