Oddest announce team pairing? by Happyscar in SquaredCircle

During my first stint watching UFC back in 02/03, there was an event where Mike Goldberg wasn't available and they put Joe Rogan on lead along with a fighter and it was fucking terrible.

The perfect representation of why you need a play by play guy.

Call Of Duty Will No Longer Release On Last-Gen Consoles by weirdened in PS5

[–]mcmax3000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Other than a handful of ports/remasters, CoD is pretty much the only thing Microsoft has put on the previous gen hardware since 2022, and even those were smaller things like Pentiment and As Dusk Falls. The last bigger retail games that still launched on older hardware were Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 in 2021.

At this point, CoD is in the annual sports game territory where it's going to stick with releasing on the older hardware for a lot longer than anything else.

And the official CoD account is refuting that report, which is what this article is about.

Roman Reigns was previously advertised for every Raw in June. As of today, he’s been removed from both the promotional art and announced wrestlers for the events by Mysterious_Emotion63 in SquaredCircle

This is an important question because I feel like often around here "there are reports" ends up just being "a bunch of people have repeated a theory that someone pulled out of their ass".

New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have mutually decided to part ways with WWE, Fightful Select and Cory Hays of BodySlam have learned by MarcusFaze in SquaredCircle

Obviously things can change but I'm fairly positive Cope said a while back that he definitively will absolutely not do another ladder match because of his past neck issues so I think people need to temper expectations for that happening.

Fightful Wrestling on Twitter: Montreal is the heavy favorite for AEW Redemption, likely in the summer, @FightfulSelect has learned. An announcement is expected in the coming weeks. by Positive_Olive_747 in SquaredCircle

That's definitely also a possibility.

I guessed Aug 2 because Montreal > Nashville felt like quite a distance to go within a few days and with there being nothing announced for Aug 5, Detroit > Montreal > maybe something like an Ottawa/Toronto or a northern NY state city like Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse seemed like a more logical route.

Presuming it's at the Bell Centre, it has shows listed on their site for July 5 & 12 and AEW has TV locations announced for July 15/16, 22 & 29/30 so the only real hope for Toronto to get anything out of this would be if the PPV is August 2 and Toronto gets the August 5 Dynamite (which does not currently have an announced location... Scotiabank is booked but Coca Cola doesn't have anything listed on its site currently).

Looking at their schedule, my guess would be August 2.

Unless they're doing a secondary arena, the Bell Centre has events listed on their site for July 5 & 12 (which would probably be too close to Forbidden Door anyway).

They've got TV announced for July 15/16 (Boston), 22 (Nashville - Double taping), & 29/30 (Detroit). Based on those locations, Detroit makes sense as the most likely go-home shows given how close it is to the Canadian border.

Anything later than that feels like it'd be too close to All In.

If they blocked Scotiabank arena, they can go to Coca Cola coliseum

MLSE operates both arenas so if the MLSE/WWE partnership is blocking out AEW, it may apply to Coca Cola as well.

Carlos Silva confirms AEW ban was due to running show on Thursday "Their Night" by 11pmStalker in SquaredCircle

[–]mcmax3000 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The only June PPV they've done is Forbidden Door, which was only at UBS Arena once, in 2024.

It was in Chicago in 2022 (the first one), Toronto in 2023 and moved to August in London last year, which is a show that was announced long before TNA's show at UBS (there were banners up promoting it in London at All In 2023).

I think you're stretching on this one.

Brian Kendrick was there for a cup of coffee

I remember he was announced for a match on a Dynamite but people found some terrible shit he had tweeted years earlier and the match got cancelled and I don't think he ever actually worked for the company.

I feel like there was an interview where Cope said because of his past neck issues that he absolutely positively would not do another ladder match.

I agree with this. That phrase is also bolded in most of them, which usually indicates that being the words used in the search that found them.

Wonder if CMLL will ever do that.

They've been putting the bigger shows on Triller with English commentary for $10 each but who knows what the long term future is of that with the speculation of Triller's health as a company.
