Happy New Year! Click here if you want to see footage from the New Year’s Smash episode of Dynamite I attended last night. Seeing Willow win the title from Mercedes was awesome. Incidentally if you noticed Luchasaurus had his arm in a sling (before catching a beatdown) the injury is legit. (FF)

Hiroshi Tanahashi says his retirement match at Wrestle Kingdom 20 is a “bonus track” for the show: “If I was champion, I’d be mad! But I think Tsuji and Takeshita will be doing their level best to have the best match on the show. In a way, they’re closing the album, and we’re the bonus track. When Inoki retired, the Sasaki and Fujinami title match was on before the ceremony as well.”
The partnership of TNA with WWE is expected to continue through at least 2028. (BSN)
