Fri. #1 is HERE. To help the site out subscribe to Mistah MegaManFan so we can reach 1,000 (current count: 914). If you're a gamer you'll enjoy it! Don't miss Thursday Night AMP from last night! With the cheap plugs out of the way here's Friday's latest wrestling news.

In an interview with Daily DDT, Lilian Garcia talked about whether or not Ronda Rousey changed WWE's women's division: "There would be times at ringside that I was the only one woman to come out the entire show. To see the evolution of that where no women were represented at all except for me to see the evolution of an all-women's pay-per-view, Ronda Rouseyit hit me really hard like, 'Wow, this is incredible.' I think the women are working so hard and doing so, so good. I can't tell you whether she's helping or not, I have no idea. I think it's cool that she came. I love that she came. I respect the fact that she now wants to raise a family and I know that the women that are there now are just focused on their absolute best and are killing it. Becky Lynch, Charlotte, all of them. So proud of them."

Speaking of Rousey her latest "judo lesson" video can be found below.

And speaking of Lilian Garcia, Kevin Owens talked to her about his WWE time with Chris Jericho: "That's something that I didn't enjoy anywhere as much as I should have. Yeah, I look back on so many moments Chris and I had, and man, those moments were incredible. But in that moment - now though, that's the good thing though, I can look back and realize how great it was, and almost like enjoy it now - but in that moment I can tell you, I wasn't enjoying it. I was worried about next week already. I remember one specific moment that we did together. It was in Toronto, it was the night after Survivor Series where we did this promo segment where we were blaming each other - or seemingly we were blaming each other for the loss the night before. And then we both blurted out, 'It was Roman Reigns' fault.' That moment might be the only moment out of the whole thing with Chris where I actually stopped to enjoy it, because it was so great ... even the Festival of Friendship, which was a moment people still talk about and I feel are gonna talk about for decades. It was incredible, but the moment, maybe five minutes after it happened, I was already talking to somebody about next week's Raw. I just never let it sit." (411)

For those interested here's a new Michael Elgin interview with V2 Sport Network.

PWG has announced that Darby Allin will be in the 2019 Battle of Los Angeles (BOLA).

The lineup for tonight's final Impact before Slammiversary is below. (IW)

* The Slammiversary go-home show
* Johnny Impact & John E. Bravo vs. X-Division champion Rich Swann & Willie Mack
* The Rascalz battle to see who challenges LAX at Slammiversary: Dez vs. Wentz vs. Trey
* Kiera Hogan vs. Madison Rayne

Two new G1 Climax videos are available below.

Speaking of the G1 Climax, Lance Archer talks about the A Block: "I'm looking at the A Block as a lot of revenge matches. This is my fifth G1... and I just celebrated eight years working with the company, but it's been five years since I was a part of the G1 Climax. A lot of the guys in my block - Tanahashi, Okada, even Will Ospreay - these are revenge matches and guys I've faced before. They bested me and got me but this is my chance to get my revenge on them in probably one of the most physical G1 Climaxes ever."

A press release from MLW is below.

Gringo Loco vs. Zenshi Added to MLW's Return to Chicago Tomorrow Night

Sky combat will be on display as Chicago's own Gringo Loco fights South American double champion Zenshi tomorrow night in Chicago!

MLW today announced Gringo Loco vs. Zenshi for MLW: Kings of Colosseum at Cicero Stadium in Chicago. The event is a TV taping for beIN SPORTS on Saturday night July 6th with a 7 p.m. bell time.

Tickets start at $10 at MLWTickets.com.

The newly signed Zenshi enters Major League Wrestling as a double champion in South America. Holding the Chile Lucha Libre International All Star Championship for a record 1,965 days (and counting) and Peru's LWA International Championship, the decorated aerial artist is a perennial main eventer in South America.

Originally from Atlanta, the tecnico luchador relocated a few years ago to South America on a journey of enlightenment. Now calling Santiago, Chile home, Zenshi reemerges in America as a transformed fighter.

Wearing a colorful mask, the high flying luchador is one of South America's most popular fighting athletes. Thrilling fans and overwhelming opponents with gravity defying attacks such as Salvador Dragon (a running dragonrana from a lunge, sometimes with a bounce handstand) the Michealandbelo (bottom rope 450 Splash) or the Yin & Yang (630 senton from middle turnbuckle), Zenshi is South America's premier luchador.

The decorated luchador will be tested in his MLW debut as he takes on the veteran Gringo Loco. Loco has competed in Mexico on and off for the last several years. A cunning veteran, this resourceful wrestler mixes aspects of being a rudo and tecnico into his in-ring game.

Referring to himself as the "base god" because of his ability to use his body as a gravitational base to counter his high flying opponents to his advantage, Gringo Loco can go with the best of them.

In what promises to be an international showcase of lucha libre, Gringo Loco looks to represent Chicago with a victory while Zenshi intends on making a triumphant statement in his MLW debut.

Watch KINGS OF COLOSSEUM this Saturday night 9pm EST / 8pm CST on beIN SPORTS.
