Just announced — Darby Allin will face Hechicero at CMLL Dia de Muertos on October 30th.
What we all fear is going to happen will happen according to Dave Meltzer — Crown Jewel 2026 in Riyadh on November 7th is barreling toward the finish line with no sign of slowing down or reversing course due to the possibility someone could DIE in the process. “Unless something happens, catastrophic, between now and next Tuesday, they’re going.” (WO)

I’m sorry to report that Susan Saint James has passed away. While she may have been one of the worst commentators in wrestling history (famous for her repeated “UH OH” during WrestleMania 2) she was a beloved sitcom actress, wife to famous TV executive Dick Ebersol, and mother to many children — one of whom (Teddy) tragically died in a plane crash in 2004. My condolences to her family, friends and fans around the world.
