Discovery has announced Darby Allin will appear on Caught! Sharks Strike Back on July 24th during Shark Week, and apparently he has “an epic close encounter” in the process.
A public service announcement from Bronson Reed: “I do not sign (autographs) at airports.” Consider that a reminder not to bother wrestlers at the airport for a photo, a signature or any other reason.

I know my best days are ahead of me, and I’ve had a wonderful career these past 17 years, and I have a lot more to do. I’ve had success in every country I have wrestled in, and I think my time in the United States could be the prime of my career.”
