According to Deadline, Phil “CM Punk” Brooks has joined the cast of The Bodyguard.
In this interview Carlos Silva talks about his appreciation of AMC ahead of TNA Impact’s debut in January: “I’m a big Walking Dead fan as well. Daryl, I’m a big motorcycle guy, so everything that Daryl’s done with his motorcycle stuff over the years, too, I think has been great. So I mean, those are probably the top two. I mean, look, Better Call Saul was also, to me, a surprisingly amazing show that they took a character who was so interesting and funny and legally devious and just was a great character, and they turned it into a great show. So I think all of them, there’s a bunch of news shows, too, that are out, and we’ll be working together with them.”
Last week’s Collision did 285,000 viewers and a 0.06 18-49 rating. (Wrestlenomics)

Kazuchika Okada talks about Hiroshi Tanahashi’s impending in-ring retirement: “It doesn’t quite feel like he’s retiring. I think I won’t know for sure until the day itself. If I was in NJPW all this time, perhaps I might get a sense that retirement was looming, but I’ve been over in America; I never really gave it thought. I think it’ll be at the end of the year, when I’m finished with the AEW schedule, and next is the Tokyo Dome; that’s when I’ll be able to give it more thought. But everything about The Rainmaker started with Tanahashi, so it makes sense to end Tanahashi’s career. Talking about it that way sounds a little self-centered, but in the end, I feel this is a repayment in a way.”
