On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about the fatal bronchial asthma issue for the late Benjamin Satterley a/k/a PAC: “We don’t know if he had an inhaler in his car. He did have lung issues. This isn’t something that came out of nowhere that nobody knew. I don’t know how well it was known, but one of his friends had told me that he had the blood clot issues in 2023, and said that he had some lung issues. And so the lung issues are consistent with what happened unfortunately. Usually, you’d have the inhaler with you and I don’t know, it may have happened so quick. There was stuff in his rental car, but it may have happened so quick that he wasn’t able to get it. It’s a horrible situation the more you learn about it. It doesn’t get better, it gets worse.” (WO)
In this interview Tommaso Ciampa said he’d like to face Shingo Takagi in New Japan: “Shingo always jumps out at me as someone I’ve always wanted to share a ring with. I don’t know that my body or personal life at this point bodes well for a full-on tour or G1 Tournament, but doing a show here or there, or three shows, I’d be 100% open to that.”
