WRESTLE-1 - Koji Kanemoto & Minoru Tanaka ~vs~ Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards
The TNA World Tag Team Championships are on the line in this dream tag team match between TNA's The Wolves and WRESTLE-'s Junior Stars. Kanemoto & Tanaka had defeated Team 246 (Kaz Hayashi & Shuji Kondo) in the previous month to claim the No.1 contendership for the title. At WRESTLE-1's last big event earlier in the year The Wolves lost the belts and Team 246 failed to capture them as The Bromans won the gold in a 3-way TNA Tag Team Championship match, since then Richards & Edwards have regained the titles back in America and have returned to Japan, once again to put it all on the line for a second time in WRESTLE-1, hoping for a better result this time in a more direct 2-on-2 bout. - 2014.7.6

Mance Warner Has FINALLY Got His Release From MLW (Too Bad MLW Didn't Have The Guts To Do it Earlier)
Mance Warner has become the latest talent to leave MLW. ONLY because MLW has FINALLY decided, to do the right thing and release him.
MLW wasn't doing anything to get him over or to be successful anyway, and that's been a known fact for a while now.
Warner has been released by MLW, according to multiple reports. SE Scoops had the news first. Warner had stated in interviews as far back as December 2020 that he was looking to leave MLW, but MLW's Court Bauer refused to release him, and to this day has yet to explain why. A story I covered, here... https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/10/mance-warner-to-become-free-agent-soon.html
If you're not properly using a guy, or even TRYING to get him in the company you hired him to work in, then why the fuck are you holding him for? DDUUHH.
But that's the logic and mentality apparently of MLW's Court Bauer.
Warner in the mean time has not appeared in a match for the promotion since the April 11, 2020 episode of MLW Fusion, taped in Mexico in March 2020.
Warner, 33, joins Jordan Oliver, Beastman, Bu Ku Dao and Leo Brien as names leaving MLW this week. MLW has yet to comment on the releases, but a PW Insider report speculates that CEO Court Bauer's desire to run shorter TV tapings with less talent is a potential reason for the cuts.
Warner originally debuted for MLW in 2019, defeating Wheeler Yuta in his debut match for the company. In addition to his MLW run, Warner is likely best known for his work with GCW. He appeared on last weekend's GCW War Ready event, dropping the GCW Tag titles to The Briscoes with partner Matthew Justice.
So now that Warner is a free agent, hopefully someone will use Warner better and show MLW how dumb they were for letting him sit there with MLW hiding behind the "We have nothing for you" excuse.

The "Forbidden Door" Has Apparently Been Closed When It Comes To Impact Wrestling
The working relationship between AEW and Impact Wrestling is reportedly over.
AEW’s “Forbidden Door” to Impact began last December as AEW World Champion Kenny Omega began appearing on Impact TV, but as previously reported, the relationship ended and the 'Forbidden Door' appears to be shut as of last Saturday’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view, according to various wrestling news personnel.
Bound For Glory saw AEW star Christian Cage drop the Impact World Title to Josh Alexander, who immediately lost the strap to Moose, who was cashing in his “Call Your Shot Gauntlet” opportunity. There will be no rematch for Cage, and there’s no talk of anyone in AEW challenging Moose.
A source in Impact told certain wrestling news sites (including this one) that the original report "possibly", may not be 100% accurate as Cage dropping the World Title at Bound For Glory was the end of the story that began last December. This was said to be the plan since the spring. It was noted that the door is open for the two companies to do more together, but nothing is planned for the short-term as of now. Plus Impact was recently working with Billy Corgan's National Wrestling Alliance as well as New Japan Pro Wrestling, so it's not like Impact doesn't have, other options.
Cage did not work this week’s Impact TV tapings in Las Vegas, and Impact World Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers have not been used on AEW TV for several weeks. As for Don Callis, while his on screen absence has been considered a 'blessing' by many wrestling fans, he is still under contract with AEW and rumors in the AEW Locker room is, he will be back soon as Kenny Omega’s manager.
It's been noted earlier this month how AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker and former Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo, who just dropped the title to Mickie James at the pay-per-view, had approached company officials on both sides to pitch ideas for a feud, and also for a tag team with the two linking up.
There is no word on if AEW and Impact officials are considering more plans for the future, and if they don't.. As I said Impact has other options and doesn't really NEED, AEW's so called "forbidden Door"
