Hardy Boyz

The Hardy Boyz retained their tag team titles (all of them) against Team 3D (the Dudleys) at Bound For Glory last night. (TNA)

Leon Slater vs. Je’Von Evans had a BS finish at Bound For Glory last night. After going to the time limit and being restarted by Santino Marella, Je’Von Evans hit a Spanish Fly and went for the pin when the lights went out in the building. The DarkState faction ran out to beat everyone up resulting in a NO CONTEST which the fans were extremely unhappy about.

That wasn’t the only problem — Nic Nemeth and Frankie Kazarian had a double pinfall in the Call Your Shot gauntlet, meaning either they both get a guaranteed title shot… or neither of them do? I don’t know if this makes it weirder or not but Kaz also lost his International Title to Steve Maclin. (TNA)

Despite rumors their contracts were up right after Bound For Glory, The IInspiration retained the Knockouts Tag Team Titles on the BFG pre-show. (TNA)

IShowSpeed filmed an episode of Speed Goes Pro at the WWE Performance Center.

Warner Bros. Discovery rejected a bid by Paramount to purchase them for $20 a share plus assumption of $35.6 billion in debt. I had to read that twice to be sure. BILLION with a B. How do you get $35.6 billion in debt without filing for bankruptcy? How can they even afford to reject Paramount’s offer?

Jin Tala talks about her WWE release: “My promos were showing range because I finally let go… My move set I recently developed in the ring showed aggression, everything the Legends were looking for. And I was able to showcase that in recent matches. And for me… that was a win. Maybe it came down to timing, did I break down those walls quick enough? Maybe I was just an unrecognizable name on a list, or maybe they just don’t see what I see in myself. At the end of the day, the only person I have to prove my worth to is me. I’m not giving up. Jin Tala may be no more. But Leigh Laurel has always been a fighter.”

Mercedes Mone is coming to Bestya Wrestling in Rome on November 9th.

Kota Ibushi says he’s already had surgery on his broken femur. Best wishes to him!
