Andrade

In case you missed the PLE last night Nickolye has complete Survivor Series: WarGames coverage for you right here on MarksOfWrestling. Thanks Nick!

Via social media Andrade El Idolo is beefing with Dave Meltzer again over a report that he MAY HAVE (emphasis on may have) signed a new contract with All Elite Wrestling: “I didn’t sign any contract! Sir, you say it with such certainty, that I signed a contract, when that’s just another one of your lies. Do some more research, Sir. I was in negotiations to sign because Mr. Tony Khan and the AEW team were having good discussions, and we came to an excellent agreement. I’m especially grateful to TK and AEW in general. Then, I received a non-compete clause after my AEW debut and my first match in Tijuana (The Crash), but I want to clarify that I didn’t know if that was the issue with WWE (honestly, I don’t know the answer to that).”

The reported reason USA Network wants SmackDown to go back to three hours in January is to boost their overall ratings; and even if the show itself might do a slight decrease because of the length, USA believes it will be offset by the lack of competition from college football on Fridays. (WO)

On his latest podcast Jim Ross disputed the allegation by Bret Hart that Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon were more than just wrestler and promoter: “That’s bullshit. Shawn in that era, at that point in that time, he was in a different mindset. He was a different guy. I don’t think he believes what he just said. I think he just stirred (crap up). Yeah, and like I said earlier, Bret knows what buttons to push.”

At least one site is reporting that WWE sources confirmed the “mystery man” in the men’s WarGames match was Austin Theory. (FF)

The alleged Survivor Series attendance reported during the PLE was 46,016. (WWE)

When WarGames was over Roman Reigns told Cody Rhodes they are never teaming up again.
