A little off-topic but there's some decent 'non-people playing video games' things on Twitch. Somebody mentioned Mega64 and they broadcast their podcast live, former goon Kevin Pereira brought back Attack Of The Show Attack and there's some cool travel streams where people wander around various parts of Asia (EXBC, awkwards_travel, Andy Milonakis)

A prominent former wow and hearthstone streamer now regularly streams himself wandering around his city and going on dates with girls he met on stream at hooters. There are no limits, and more importantly, no standards to Twitch anymore, as long as it makes money.

Apparently the entire event is on VOD

Makes me wonder if Twitch is actually giving these promotions some cash since both Wrestlecircus and this promotion NTW had a Twitch logo on their apron.

Typically they announce the tournament field in chunks over the course of a few days (now that I think about it, they announced Cody as the first entrant last year and then waited a few days before starting with the rest), and then a few weeks later will tweet out the first round matchups and non-tourney matches on the first two nights before tickets go on sale.

My pie in the sky, no way it'll ever happen dream for BOLA is KUSHIDA. With Liger and Hiromu in last year's tournament, the Bucks and Zack bringing PWG's belts to big NJPW shows, and NJPW brass reportedly being at one of the shows earlier in the year, it's marginally more likely now than it's ever been. They could manage it politically if they went back to one fall to a finish in the finals and had him make the final three but not eat the pin. The last match could probably stand to be shorter anyway, since it's at the end of a 5+ hour show and the crowd is usually worn out to begin with.

I guess I thought of Rey because of Flamita (I remember reading Rey thought Flamita was the bomb, and he's right), plus Rey lives in San Diego so it's not like Reseda's a big trek for him.

I'm aware it's not gonna happen unless some dumb luck occurs, but a guy can hope.

Welcome to Moonside.

With the rates Rey reportedly charges for indie dates, I think he only wrestles in Reseda as a surprise in the huge 10-man tag on Day 3 where he'd barely do anything. Which would still be cool, don't get me wrong, but I don't think he'd actually be in the tournament and either have to have multiple matches where he'd bump a lot or get bounced in the first round. Rey seems like a guy who's much more protective of himself post-WWE than that. But he was at BOLA in 2015 as a fan with Konnan before the acrimonious split between Konnan and AAA happened, so who knows. Horus and Flamita are definitely both guys who are close with Konnan, and thus Rey by proxy, but I don't know how much Konnan has been interacting with PWG at all over the last couple years. It'll be interesting to see if Daga and/or Garza Jr. break in from their adjacency to Penta and Fenix, having La Rebellion in as a faction would open up a ton of cool possibilities for multiman matches.

Given Punk's outspoken love of the Young Bucks, I've always suspected that if he were to make a surprise one-off return to wrestling (since he apparently has no interest in burying the hatchet with WWE for the money) it would probably happen in Reseda, but now that he hates Colt I don't know who he would even team with. Maybe Bryan whenever he gets out from under contract, that would be a fun way for all parties involved to stick a thumb in WWE's eye. But by that point maybe the Bucks will have sold out, who knows.

Iirc it wa something like Colt reached out to Punk for someone else in the business which is not something you do? Or gave them Punk's contact info? Something like that was the story.

Colt went to a WWE show to visit some friends backstage. Since the doctor that's suing them is employed by the WWE, and is probably being funded by the WWE, Punk got pissed.

The contact info thing was even more petty. Hornswoggle lost his phone and asked Punk for a mutual friend's info. I guess Hornswoggle and Punk had been close friends for years, and Punk cut him off completely.
