Mauro RanalloIn this interview Mauro Ranallo talks about his decision to leave WWE: "There were many times where I'm like, 'What is going on here?' Like a four-man booth, an eight-man - there was a picture someone had on Twitter where there were literally eight people on headsets. I get it, but that's not what I want as a commentator. I get the stressful situations, I get the changes on the fly. It's just the system there. But for me and my mental health - even moving to NXT where, when we were live it was the best experience I could ask for. And that's a testament to what Triple H and everyone down in NXT has done. I just felt, for my own mental health - and it was becoming more and more apparent, doing the show even from home. I know, bless his soul, Jim Cornette and many people were like 'How the hell can this guy quit a high-paying gig, high-profile gig of which there are so few in this world? How could he leave?' it was to the point where I would have panic attacks in the morning of the recordings of the last few months. And I didn't like - with all due respect, I didn't like what was happening with who was involved. And all respect to all announcers, but I also believe in chemistry. And maybe I was the problem. On show day, I'm not a great guy to be around because I'm completely effing focused. I'm prepared, and I expect everyone else to be the same. And there was another reason. I'm a play-by-play announcer. I think I'm one of the better ones in the business. And I need to be left alone at times."

From MLW.

Major League Wrestling today announced it present a special event entitled KINGS OF COLOSSEUM on January 6 at 7pm ET available on YouTube, Fubo Sports, and Pluto TV. 

MLW is making the marquee event free for fans as a special thank you.

"Times are tough for a lot of folks and we are so grateful for the incredible support from our fans," said Court Bauer. "So, we decided to take this event originally slated to be a Pay-Per-View and give it to fans for free as a gift. We're going to stack the card with title fights, top-ranked wrestlers, and make it a true tentpole for the league."

The first match will be revealed on tomorrow's MLW FUSION at 7pm ET, available on YouTube, Fubo Sports Network, Pluto TV, DAZN.

The special will air on beIN SPORTS on January 9. The event will be broadcast on a delay internationally.

Confirmed to appear on the Kings of Colosseum special include: National Openweight Champion Alex Hammerstone, CONTRA World Tag Team Champions Ross & Marshall Von Erich, Lio Rush, Alicia Atout, Tom Lawlor and Team Filthy and many more.


According to Inside The Ropes, WWE will not do a live episode of SmackDown on Christmas (December 25th is on a Friday this year) although when they will actually pre-tape the show is yet to be determined. If I was them I'd simply edit together a "Best of 2020" and air that. Nobody's watching SmackDown that night anyway.

The reason Shaquille O'Neal will be on AEW Dynamite tomorrow night is because AEW and TNT are building up to a "really big show" which will take place on December 30th. (WO)

4:00 PM ET. AEW hasn't announced it for their lineup, but Kenny Omega will also be part of tomorrow's Dynamite. (WO) He's already set for an appearance on Impact Wrestling tonight. Speaking of which: "In an industry-shattering first, the reigning All Elite Wrestling World Champion - Kenny Omega - will appear tonight on IMPACT! on AXS TV. Omega will join IMPACT Wrestling Executive Don Callis in breaking their silence following last Wednesday's shocking events on AEW Dynamite. Tonight's must-see edition of IMPACT starts on AXS TV and Twitch at 8pm ET/5pm PT. The Twitch stream is FREE at twitch.tv/impactwrestling."

It seems WWE is in the mood to not fight in court any more as they've just settled another lawsuit for violating the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) on WWEShop's website. Terms of the settlement for the suit (filed by Josue Romero) were not disclosed.

Braun Strowman reportedly hurt his knee when he was part of the group that caught Keith Lee's dive at Survivor Series. (PWI)
