It wasn’t good news when it came to pro wrestling ratings on Wednesday, November 4th, on Destination America.
TNA Impact did 262,000 viewers at 9 PM — its third lowest to date since they started on the network. What’s really bad about that number is it was very slightly down from last week’s show which went head-to-head with the World Series. The replay did 81,000 viewers, so the combined total was the sixth lowest to date.
The show was headlined by Bobby Roode vs. Eric Young, and also featured Eddie Edwards vs. Davey Richards in a battle of tag team partners.
On the Ring Of Honor side of things, their 11 PM airing fell from its record 227,000 viewers to a lower-than-usual 141,000 viewers. ROH only has a few weeks left on its Destination America contract and as of yet, no renewal has been announced. The show featured AJ Styles vs. Kyle O’Reilly vs. Adam Cole, and the Young Bucks vs. Silas Young and the Beer City Bruiser.
There is a story on the front page on the Seth Rollins injury, which is devastating because WWE now has to revamp all its championship creative for the next several months, as well as change WrestleMania plans. For those who haven’t seen the injury, this is the spot it happened. Rollins continued the match after, but after being diagnosed after the show, will need surgery.
Brock Lesnar is somewhere in Alberta on a big annual hunting trip. I don’t know that they are blowing up his phone, but right about now you’d think they’d be wanting some new dates from him. But the company desperately needs a top heel.
No word yet on what form the title tournament will take. I’m guessing they’ll try and keep everything under wraps until Raw on Monday, but if they keep the Undertaker & Kane match as is, that keeps Bray Wyatt out of the tournament. They could do elimination matches on television as well to set up a final four or final eight on the PPV.
Another question is what happens on the show today in Cardiff, Wales, scheduled to be headlined by Seth Rollins vs. Kane. The top heels on the tour are Sheamus and Tyler Breeze, and they could always turn Big Show heel again. No word on whether they’ll move a heel from the Wyatt family or Kevin Owens from the other tour to fill the spot.
We’re looking for reports on today’s WWE shows in Cardiff, Wales, Glasgow, Scotland, the Dallas show tonight at the WrestleMania party (Samoa Joe vs. Baron Corbin, Apollo Crews vs. Tye Dillinger, Asuka vs. Peyton Royce, Blake & Murphy vs. Zack Ryder & Mojo Rawley, Carmella vs. Alexa Bliss) which is free and NXT in Lakeland, FL at dave@wrestlingobserver.com” target=”_blank”>dave@wrestlingobserver.com
We’re also be looking for reports tomorrow from WWE in London, which is the Rollins tour, although he’s not on the tour any longer; Barcelona, which is the Reigns tour, and the NXT show in Jacksonville, FL.
Saturday has the Rollins tour in Leeds, England, the Reigns tour in Madrid, Spain and the NXT show in Largo, FL.
Our only weekend poll will be for Power Struggle which takes place late tomorrow night U.S. time
New Japan’s Power Struggle PPV will be tomorrow night at 3 a.m. Eastern and midnight Pacific time, featuring Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Karl Anderson for their IC title and Rocky Romero & Trent Baretta vs. Ricochet & Matt Sydal in the finals of the Super Junior tag team tournament.

WrestleMania tickets are still on sale today in the pre-sale before they go on sale to the public tomorrow.
Glory announced a contract with ESPN, after losing their deal with Spike. Glory 25 from Monza,Italy, will be airing on ESPN 3 (its streaming site) tomorrow at 4 p.m. Eastern time). it will be replayed at 1:30 a.m. on ESPN 2 late tomorrow night.
Rumors have it that Nick Diaz’s settlement will be an 18 month suspension and a $100,000 fine, which would be finalized soon and he’d be able to fight over the summer. That’s an a lot more fair sentence.
Bobby Lashley said his goal for 2016 is to become the first person to hold the TNA & Bellator heavyweight title, with the idea that he figures nobody else will ever do that again. The Lashley vs. James Thomson winner from tomorrow night is under consideration to face Kimbo Slice. Lashley and Slice are friendly and Lashley has said that he won’t ask for the fight, but if offered, he won’t turn it down either.
AXS is pushing tomorrow night’s New Japan around the idea of seeing two matches of the year. At 8 p.m. they’ll re-air the Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kota Ibushi match that aired last week. At 9 p.m. will be the Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Kazuchika Okada IWGP title match from January’s Wrestle Kingdom show. I’m told Tanahashi vs. Okada with the full show built around it with preview packages and interviews is a great one hour broadcast.
Roderick Strong, Pentagon Jr. and Flamita were all double-booked for tomorrow, for both the ZZ Inc. show in Veracruz, and for Strong, an NSPW show in Quebec City, Pentagon Jr. on a show in Toronto and Flamita on a CaraLucha show. I know that one wrestler from the U.S. just got his tickets for the ZZ Inc. show last night and was worried about whether it would take place. Strong had agreed to the date, then never heard back, figured it wasn’t going to happen, and took the Quebec City booking in mid-September. Strong got his flight tickets for Quebec City last week and was being advertised there for the past month. Strong then contacted the promotion late last night and said what happened, as he heard from AAA, said he was taking the Mexico booking since he agreed to that one first. NSPW is a group that runs in Quebec and sells out more often than not in a 500 seat arena and has used a lot of major U.S indie names like Tommy Dreamer, Rhino, Young Bucks, Bobby Roode, Brian Cage, Sylvain Grenier, Johnny Gargano and others. Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and Mike Bailey were all regulars there in the past. Don’t know anything about Pentagon Jr. and Flamita and which show they are working.

John Cena vs. Alberto Del Rio has been announced as the new main event for the WWE’s next show in Madison Square Garden on 12/26. Cena vs. Del Rio is now pegged for Cena’s return program. I suspect Mr. Cena’s phone has been buzzing today. (thanks to Mike Omansky)
The movie “Spectre” opens today throughout the U.S. Dave Bautista is one of the stars and the movie did gigantic European box office last week and is expected to do the same here this week.

Several other media stocks did badly yesterday, including Time Warner down 8.5 percent, Fox down 5.7 percent and Viacom down 5.6 percent. Time Warner said profits would be below its previous target. There is long-term trepidation about people moving away from cable TV, which is an issue for both WWE & UFC because it’s their main source of exposure and of making new fans.
We’re told Claro Sports will be airing CMLL this Friday after all, after earlier in the week that wasn’t the case. It’s more likely than not to be geo-blocked in the U.S.

Rollins was doing a power bomb spot out of the corner when his knee buckled and he collapsed. He finished the match but then needed to be helped to the back afterwards.
Because of the severity of the injury, WWE has announced that his scheduled match with Roman Reigns will not take place at November 22nd’s Survivor Series in Atlanta, GA, and he is being stripped of the WWE Title. It appears from the WWE.com story that the plan is to run a tournament at the Survivor Series pay-per-view to crown a new WWE Champion.
With John Cena, Brock Lesnar, and Randy Orton among the major stars on hiatus for various reasons at the moment, the timing of this injury could not be worse. One WWE source noted that some phone calls are likely already being made to some very big names.
Biography Series: Stan Hansen. This part one of a three part series covering some of the greatest brawlers in wrestling history. On this show I look at former AWA World champion, WCW U.S. Champion, and one of the all time legends of Japan – Stan “The Lariat” Hansen.

The Big News:
Kevin Owens escaped a non-title match with Dean Ambrose by tricking the referee.
Show Recap:
They announced two matches for tonight – a “traditional” four vs. four Survivor Series tag match, and Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin Owens non-title (as usual, they didn’t mention that it was non-title).
Alberto Del Rio and Zeb Colter came out to start. Colter said there was no room for hate in MexAmerica and he called the people haters. He said everyone has people they hate, and he called those people black hearts. Ok? Del Rio said Viva MexAmerica. Jerry Lawler and Rich Brennan were both confused. Me too. Why are they heels if they want to bring people together and eliminate hate?
Non-Title: U.S. Champion Alberto Del Rio (w/Zeb Colter) beat Neville via pinfall
Lawler said he wasn’t sure if Neville has faced anyone with the experience of Del Rio. Neville almost beat John Cena a few months ago. Neville hit a hurricanrana and had control early until Del Rio used a back stabber. During a commercial break, Del Rio launched Neville into the barricade. Neville fought out of a headlock and used kicks and a moonsault to the outside, followed by a rana into a pin attempt for a near fall.
Del Rio was able to knock Neville off the top and hit a weak-looking double footstomp for the win. After the match, Del Rio jumped back in the ring and superkicked Neville and applied the arm bar. Neville tapped wildly until Jack Swagger ran out to make the save. The two men faced off but Del Rio wagged his finger and left. Neville sat up at this point and I wondered why he didn’t just run after Del Rio. The match was alright.
The Usos beat The Ascension via pinfall
The Usos got a good reaction and people were doing their chant as the match started. Ascension worked over Jimmy briefly until he made the hot tag. Jey used a Samoan drop and running hip attack on Viktor but Konnor broke up the cover. Jimmy hit Konnor with a superkick, but Konnor bounced off the ropes, so Jimmy and Jey did a double superkick to knock him out of the ring. They also did a double superkick to Viktor and Jey finished him off with a flying splash for the win. Booker called the Usos the most exciting tag-team in history.
8-Man Elimination Tag Match: The Wyatt Family beat Prime Time Players & Lucha Dragons
The Wyatts took turns working over Darren Young. Eventually, Braun Strowman applied the head-and-arm choke, with the ropes separating himself and Darren. Strowman let go after the referee counted to four, and Darren dropped to the outside where he was counted out. Titus went to check on him so Strowman attacked him from behind. The Lucha Dragons just stood there and watched.
After a break, they worked over Titus until he made a tag to Sin Cara, who used a hurricanrana on Harper and suicide dive to Rowan. Sin Cara did a rana into a pin for a two count and a tornado DDT, but Rowan broke it up. Harper came back with a discus clothesline for the pinfall.
Kalisto used kicks on Harper but got nailed with a suplex and the Wyatts took over again. Kalisto crawled for a tag but two Wyatts took Titus off the apron. Kalisto came back anyway with a spike hurricane on Harper and springboard kick to Bray. Titus was still out, allowing Rowan to hit a tackle and full nelson slam. Rowan pinned Kalisto.
Titus made his comeback on Harper, including a power slam for two. He followed with a sitout powerbomb but Bray and Rowan broke up the cover. Strowman put him in the head-and-arm choke, Bray tagged himself in and hit Sister Abigail for the win. Clean sweep for the Wyatts.
Recap: Braun Strowman eliminated Darren Young via countout, Luke Harper eliminated Sin Cara via pinfall, Erick Rowan eliminated Kalisto via pinfall, Bray Wyatt eliminated Titus O’Neil via pinfall. This wasn’t much of a match outside of Kalisto’s offense.
Backstage, Dean Ambrose told Renee Young that he prepared for tonight by waking up early, around 11:00 AM, taking in some fresh Colorado air and by speaking with John Denver (who’s dead.) Owens walked up asking what Ambrose was talking about. Owens said he was annoying Renee and told him that he’d be facing the greatest Intercontinental champion of all-time. Ambrose laughed and said he can pin Owens tonight just like he did on Raw. Owens said tonight wouldn’t be a 10-man circus like Raw and Ambrose said we’ll see. Owens walked away.
Ryback beat King Barrett via pinfall
Barrett had the heat for a few minutes but Ryback won with a shell shocked.
Backstage, Sasha Banks told Renee that they gave Natalya the attention she wanted by attacking her. Renee said Natalya challenged the “leader of Team B.A.D.” tonight. Naomi said that stuff might work on Team P.C.B. but it won’t work on them, because they know who their leader is. Sasha intimated that it was her who would accept the challenge and walked off. Naomi gave her a look before following. Tamina gave Renee a look, but Renne just smirked because she’s not intimidated I guess.
Natalya beat Tamina (w/Naomi & Sasha Banks) via pinfall
Tamina stepped in and took the challenge. Naomi and Sasha were just fine with this. Tamina had the heat for a while until Natalya came back with a clothesline. She went for a sharpshooter but Sasha distracted her, allowing Tamina to hit a Samoan drop. Tamina went for a splash but Natalya got her legs up and followed with a school boy for the win. Tamina is bad so this was not good. The crowd didn’t care either, outside of some light chants for Banks.
Non-Title: IC Champion Kevin Owens beat Dean Ambrose via DQ
After a break, Owens had control after tossing Ambrose into the barricade twice, hitting a senton and gutbuster. Ambrose came back with a superplex and tornado DDT for a near fall. Owens tried a pop-up powerbomb, but Ambrose jumped over him. Owens hit a superkick, but that sent Ambrose into the ropes and he bounced back with a clothesline.
Ambrose kicked Owens in the gut (to set up Dirty Deeds) but Owens dropped down and sold it like he was kicked in the nuts. The referee checked on him and called Ambrose for the DQ. They showed two replays and Ambrose clearly kicked him in the gut. The referee saw the replays and began yelling at Owens, who grabbed his title and began leaving since the match was over.
As Owens left, Ambrose nailed him with a suicide dive, then hit another one on the other side of the ring. Ambrose went after him but Owens bailed through the crowd. Ambrose was pissed but posed in the ring as the show ended. Match was good while it lasted.
Final Thoughts:
Thanks to a skeleton crew, this was basically a straight wrestling show with only two backstage interviews and the usual Raw highlights. And not a particularly good one.
Since not much happened, a minor point: The Lucha Dragons should not have been fed to the Wyatts. They just come off two big wins in a row (Smackdown last week and Monday’s Raw) and this was a total setback. The Wyatts winning their match in a clean sweep is perfectly fine, it just should’ve been against some other team with PTP.
Also, if you care, at least five different wrestlers used superkicks tonight.
On Wednesday’s UFC Tonight, it was announced that the main event for the first FOX special of 2016 will be Anthony “Rumble” Johnson vs. Ryan Bader in a battle of top light heavyweight contenders.
The show will be held on January 30th at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
Given the current state of the light heavyweight division, the winner of the bout has the best shot at facing the winner of the impending Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones light heavyweight title rematch. And because of promotion that will be done during the NFL playoffs on Fox, this is also the show with the best shot at drawing the promotion’s biggest Fox rating of the year.
Other matches announced for the show thus far are Jake Ellenberger vs. the returning Tarec Saffiedine at welterweight (expect that on the main card), local fighter George Sullivan vs. Alexander Yakolev, Olivier Aubin-Mercier against Joaquim Silva, and Felipe Oliveri vs Tony Martin.
This marks the promotion’s third UFC offering of January with their January 2nd UFC 195 ppv headlined by welterweight champion Robbie Lawler vs. Carlos Condit, and the January 17th Fox Sports One show headlined by bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw vs. Dominick Cruz and Eddie Alvarez vs. Anthony Pettis.
Bryan Alvarez and Lance Storm return today with tons of things to discuss including details on how WWE downside guarantees are exactly structured, thoughts on Raw, retro Raw and retro Nitro, work ethic in pro-wrestling training and tons more! A fun show as always so check it out~!
