Word is that Bischoff was absolutely not involving himself.  Didn't get up to speed on the talent, was barely available and unreachable and contributed nothing.

I hadn't heard that, but I did hear that he knew going in it was temporary and he was there just to be the fall guy when WWE screws up and Fox get unhappy (which probably happened sooner than expected, thanks to that calamitous cockup of a draft).

The draft that held water for literally 5 mins!  The source of my comments was WhatCulture, for what that's worth.

I would assume they'll have a working relationship with AEW (and possibly ROH) then when they launch this American subsidiary. Sharing talent with them makes sense, since AEW does this already with AAA etc right?

AEW may be a possibility, since Jericho and Moxley are both expected to compete at Wrestle Kingdom 14. Hell, Moxley was still the IWGP US champion until last week, and only because he couldn't make it to Japan due to Typhoon Hagibis.

 

As for ROH, they've not had much attention from NJPW since the MSG show in April, and ROH have been working more with CMLL instead, even using them for the Global Wars shows this year, and making Rush their world champion recently (finally taking the title off of the god-awful Matt Taven).

 

AAA's a curious one, as they've got a working relationship with AEW (along with MLW and Impact), but none of their full-time wrestlers have appeared on AEW yet, only their tag titles at All Out; so far, it's just been guys signed with AEW who also make the odd appearance in AAA: Jack Evans, Kenny Omega, Sammy Guevara, the Young Bucks, and the Lucha Bros. It's a similar story with OWE since Double or Nothing (outside of CIMA), although that's probably more down to experience, since their roster's still pretty new.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      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 LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.
