The Young Bucks made a surprise appearance last night at the Defy Wrestling show in Seattle that SCU was performing on. They superkicked several guys and did a Meltzer driver. Moose also showed up as a surprise, beating Jack Cunningham. MLW announcer Rich Bocchini was there, although he was advertised. Artemis Spencer beat Dezmond Xavier to keep the Defy title, Royce Isaacs & Jorel Nelson b The Amerikan Gunz to win the tag title, King Khash won the Defy to Survive ten man, Robbie Eagles b Cody Chhum, and Team Defy of Shane Strickland & Randy Myers & Schaff b Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky. The next show is 2/9 in Portland, OR and then 3/8 in Seattle.

Sonjay Dutt was on the news in both the U.S. and Canada today. He had one of the longest days of his life. He was going to Macau for a show. He was first headed from Newark, NJ on a flight to Hong Kong. Due to a medical emergency on the flight, the plane was diverted and touched down in Goose Bay, Labrador in Eastern Canada. Because they were not supposed to land in Canada, they were not allowed off the plane. Then there was an issue with the plane they were on. They ended up stuck on the ground not able to leave the plane for 19 hours before they got on a new plane, took a bus to the new plane, and flew back to Newark, NJ. Goose Bay officials brought them snacks and water after all the food had run out. It was -32 outside while they were stuck in the plane with the door frozen.
