PROGRESS went to quite a bit of effort to reveal their new championship...

 

Should definitely make things more interesting there* as with this title, the champion gets to choose what kind of match they defend it in.

 

*God knows PROGRESS needs a proverbial kick up the rear; it's been fairly dull for the past year or so, pretty much when Travis Banks became their pre-late-2018 Roman Reigns during his world title reign.

So, a week in wrestling (at least in America) is soon gonna look like...

  • Monday: WWE RAW
  • Tuesday: Impact Wrestling
  • Wednesday: NXT + AEW Dynamite
  • Thursday: Catch up on whichever one you didn't watch live on Wednesday
  • Friday: WWE SmackDown & 205 Live (according to the latest rumours)
  • Saturday: MLW Fusion + New Japan Pro Wrestling + WOW - Women of Wrestling + AEW PPVs
  • Sunday: WWE/Impact PPVs

God help us all. 😝 That doesn't even include Ring of Honor - which is all over the place, depending on where you live - and the NWA's upcoming TV show.

I know right, its nuts. I saw someone post about this the other day when the 205 Live rumor started going the rounds. I know plenty of people who say wrestling is dead or on the way to its death etc due to the low ratings and what not - but the fact that we are going to have wrestling on every single day of the week except for Thursdays (for now lol) says a lot. And some of those days of wrestling we are getting, is non-WWE stuff now. Which is great imo considering not even 10 years ago it was WWE or bust basically (I know TNA was around!). A lot of people also say its a great time to be a wrestling fan now, and I'd agree with that statement. I just wish NJPW was on a national TV deal here in the US somehow. 😛

They are, aren't they? Last I heard, they still have a weekly show that airs Saturdays on AXS (the channel that Impact's owners Anthem just bought).

Whattttttt? When did this happen, and why wasn't I told about this? Why am I the last person to find out about these things??! Well, that figures. I could have been watching NJPW for god knows how long now it seems. Bleh I say, bleh!

It's been since January 2015! 😆 It started out as just a best of show, but this year, they started doing same-week broadcasts of their events. Apparently, it's on Fight Network in Canada, too. I don't think it airs here in the UK, though.

Wow, either I heard about this awhile back and completely blanked on it for years now, or I never heard of it until now and boy have I missed some good wrestling over the years. 😛

Meanwhile in the UK...

 

Maybe Theresa May was right when she kept saying "no deal is better than a bad deal". Those teleshopping things ITV run overnight must be too valuable to them.

 

Either way, a 4-day delay + a pre-watershed edited version is a recipe for disaster, probably on a similar scale to WOS Wrestling; most of us will just pirate it rather than wait. Hell, even TNA never had a deal that bad.

 

As for the eventual "live viewing solution" I'm gonna guess it'll be simply letting us stream it on either FITE or B/R Live.

Well, I was right...

...didn't expect it to be paid, though. Bad move, and Tony's lying about the ad break schedules, as anyone here who watches live WWE or NFL on Sky Sports will know.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
