IMPACT Wrestling & Killer Kross At Standstill

PWInsider is reporting that Impact Wrestling officials have been at an
impasse with Killer Kross. Kross reportedly refused to blade in his First
Blood match with Eddie Edwards at Slammiversary, which led to a rush to
find fake blood on the day of the show.

Kross asked for his release earlier this year, seeking better financial
compensation from IMPACT. Kross has noted that he likes everyone in the
company, but ultimately felt intimidated by the contract negotiation.
Krosss current deal has him on a pay-per-appearance fee, which means that
he hasnt been paid, as he hasnt been booked by IMPACT since Slammiversary.
Kross is however legally bound to them, regardless of compensation.

Kross is allowed to work for other promotions, as long as they are not
nationally televised. Kross had been working many appearances from AAA in
Mexico, but word is that Kross is being kept from wrestling at AAAs
upcoming show at Madison Square Gardens Hulu Theater in Manhattan. Krosss
t-shirts have been moved to the clearance section of IMPACT Wrestlings
store.

CM Punk: "John Cena Let Me Do Whatever The F*** I Wanted"

Posted: 03 Sep 2019 06:40 AM PDT
https://www.prowrestling.com/cm-punk-john-cena-let-me-do-whatever-the-f-i-wanted/


During his recent Starrcast lll appearance, CM Punk heaped praise on John
Cena for allowing him to be totally creative in their rivalry. The sit-down
interview was shown on FITE TV, and below are some highlights of that with
a H/T to Fightful.com for the transcription.

On Cena allowing him to do whatever he wanted:

I always liked working with John because again, it was easy. And I think
John was in a position where he was almost kind of glad somebody else came
in and forcibly like took the reins, recalled the former WWE Champion, I
think John was stoked that he didnt have to be that guy directing traffic.
And he let me do whatever the fuck I wanted. So, I think he was relieved.
But, I also think thats how we worked together really well, you know?

Punk also went on to discuss how he was the first man to break down Cenas
traditional comeback:

 I was the first guy to be like, why does everybody always take their
shoulder like, you know, what the fucks going to happen! Like, why do you
let him do [the You Cant See Me motion]to you without fucking kicking him
in the head?, he says. So, like, it was really like I broke down the John
Cena comeback, like in a logical way. And he was just kind of like, this is
great. Nobodys ever done this before. You know?

WWE legend, The Rock was full of praise for Arn Anderson this weekend
following his run-in during ALL OUTs match between Cody Rhodes and Shawn
Spears.

Double A hit the ring during the match to deliver an emphatic spinebuster
to Spears while the official was distracted by Tully Blanchard and MJF
fighting, in a moment that received one of the shows biggest pops.

The Rock took to Twitter to comment on the moment, claiming it was so much
fun for the crowd, adding that there is nobody better delivering the move,
whilst also praising the call by Jim Ross.

So much fun for the crowd!! Double A!! Spine on the pine. No one better!!
And great call @JRsBBQ

Triple H recently satdown with Alex McCarthy of Talk Sport where he
discussed the recent match between Goldberg and The Undertaker.

On the Super ShowDown match:

“It’s humanly impossible in this moment. It was like wrestling in a sauna,
it really was. And there was those moments like when you step out of a
sauna and you’re like ‘jeez, I’m lightheaded I might pass out’ – it was so
ridiculously hot. And you put pressure on yourself and everything on top of
that, so it’s a lot.”

On negative fans:

“But yet if they saw Goldberg or ‘Taker they would be like in awe and
speechless. It’s just the craziest thing.”

Triple H went on to say that people would say negative things online about
wrestlers, but they would love to meet them in real life.

Ryback Reveals What He Thinks Will Happen If AEW Beats NXT In The Ratings

Posted: 03 Sep 2019 05:09 AM PDT
https://www.prowrestling.com/ryback-reveals-what-he-thinks-will-happen-if-aew-beats-nxt-in-the-ratings/


During the latest instalment of the Conversations With The Big Guy podcast,
Ryback gave his thoughts on the upcoming Wednesday night wars. Below are
some highlights with a H/T to WrestlingInc.com for the transcriptions.

On what will happen if AEW beats NXT in the ratings:

WWE is not going to want to lose this one way or another because NXT is a
reflection of the WWE brand. It is WWE, so I dont know how long they keep
the current format but I think if they go in, I think they are going to be
shocked if they go into the losing end in all of this, said Ryback. If they
do, I wouldnt be shocked at all if they do switch the format where they
record NXT on a Raw or SmackDown brand and they adjust things where they
have the big crowd currently there. I think they will definitely look for
something if they think they are losing because of the live audience. They
are not going to want to keep losing in the ratings, I know that
much. Vince McMahon is very highly competitive so I think they are looking
at it like this is a good way to slow down AEW with NXT.

On WWE not being happy about AEW taking Jericho & Moxley:

I think its good for pro wrestling in general because they are not going to
have an easy ride in all of this. WWE is not going to make it easy for them
and they shouldnt, why would they? Its very personal with Cody Rhodes,
Hunter and Vince McMahon and him leaving and how everything went down with
that, stated Ryback. They arent going to just sit back and say, okay, you
have already taken two of our biggest stars in Chris Jericho and Jon
Moxley, theres no way WWE is happy about that that two of their top guys
have left for another company and again, them having the majority of the
roster is from the independents they are going to have a real challenge on
their hands.

https://www.prowrestling.com/wolfgang-mark-coffey-reveal-where-they-want-nxt-uk-to-go-next/


Gallus members, Wolfgang and Mark Coffey recently spoke with
SportsKeeda.com where they revealed where they would like NXT UK to go next.

Following a very successful NXT UK Takeover event in Cardiff this past
weekend, the focus is very much on what will happen next for the brand, and
for Gallus, they are hoping it means a trip to Scotland.

Yeah, I think you can pretty much guess what Im going to go for, Coffey
said. I would take the Hydro in Glasgow any day!

Wolfgang then went into further detail, agreeing with Mark, even picking
where he would like to perform.

Same. Just for the capacity, I would take the Hydro but the Barrowlands is
always going to be one of my favorites, Wofgang said. If we could have even
a taping in there. TakeOver in the Hydro and go to the Barras for the
taping. Weve got to try and sell it [SSE Hydro] out!

Baron Corbin wasnt pleased with WWEs decision to put both Samoa Joe and
Ricochet in the King of the Ring semi-final with him next week.

Corbin defeated Cedric Alexander in order to progress to next weeks
semi-final match, and in the second quarter-final, Samoa Joe and Ricochet
ended up beating each other with a double pinfall at the same time.

The decision was made for both Ricochet and Joe to move forward, making the
semi-final for the WWE Raw side a triple threat match next week, and Corbin
was not happy about that choice.
