I’m slightly surprised to be reporting this but AMC is a bidder to air TNA Wrestling. It would certainly be a huge upgrade for TNA, doubling their potential audience size from 30 million subscribers who get AXS TV to 60 million who get AMC. The network is already well known for hit shows like Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead, so if they’re willing to bid on it, that’s a statement in itself.

According to New Japan Pro Wrestling, Wrestle Kingdom 20 is already sold out, and they are planning to add more seats to accommodate the demand as a result.
Ric Flair is apologizing for not appearing on Dynamite last Wednesday. I don’t know about any of the rest of you but I’m pretty over hearing Flair’s apologies, even if this one is genuine and heartfelt, and even if the medical issues (reportedly a torn rotator cuff) are real. Don’t accept the booking if there’s any chance you can’t make the commitment — or if you do and circumstances change, tell people why and refund the booking fee in advance, not after you’ve already missed your scheduled spot.

Speaking of making your bookings Gunther is signaling he’ll be at Raw tonight to face Je’Von Evans. I would certainly hope so.
Two new AEW trademarks have been filed: “Watch AEW” and “Spring Breakthru.” (FF)
The story that Bill Goldberg walked out on K&S WrestleFest is being disputed. The Big Event’s promoter Tom Unger explains: “He signed for the fans for 5 hours straight. Ken wasn’t guaranteed anything. I told him if we had time we would get your items done. He shouldn’t be posting this all over (social media) like the victim. This was my deal and my customers come first. (He) shouldn’t take mail order from all (of) you not knowing if it was going to get done.” I applied light edits for clarity.
AEW is having a month long residency at Esports Stadium in Arlington in January.
