For those who celebrate it today, Happy Turkey Day! For those who don't I hope you still have a day off work anyway with family and friends. For those who don't have the day off work, I appreciate how hard you're working today and I hope you stay safe and well.

Ric FlairApparently Ric Flair's beef with WWE is with Nick Khan specifically: "If you take me off of the opening of the show and take the 'WOOO!,' which I own, thank God. They'll never get it back, replace me with The Ultimate Warrior, a guy that sued the company, held them up for money. I guess the next thing they're gonna do with me, is make a DVD saying and have so many people saying how bad I was like they did with The Warrior and then they brought him back and put him in the Hall of Fame. That ain't gonna work for me. One and done. I text Vince, 'No worries. But you know, you're not going to do it, you're not going to bring me back.' Not they want me by any means. But I couldn't ever work for Nick Khan in my entire life. Vince McMahon, I could work for, but Nick Khan, who's the guy that orchestrated taking me off the show. I've got my facts together, orchestrated taking the 'WOOO!' off, never in a million years. Well, the big difference between Tony Khan and - Tony respects me. As does Vince. Nick Khan has none. I talk to Vince now. I got no problems with Vince. He just knows I won't come back. Absolutely never. I'm 72, I could be dead tomorrow. The last thing I want is for them to make a package on me ever. I'll leave all of that to Tony Khan."

Johnny Gargano agreed to a one week extension of his current WWE contract, but unless he signs a new deal, the clock runs out December 10th. (FF)

Former ROH and current AEW star Jay Lethal has been added to the AAA Mega Title match at Triplemania Regia.

Speaking of former ROH talent Bandido has been added to the first TERMINUS show.

Homicide is not fond of the TNA steel cage match he had back in 2010: "Fuck these motherfuckers. It was so embarrassing. I don't want to say 'fuck Hulk Hogan.' He's a legend... BUT. I always remember, we had a meeting and he wanted to take over and compete with Vince McMahon in the Monday night challenge. I was like, 'Nah, let's stay Thursdays. We're not going to compete with a Billion dollar company. I know we had the talent, but we're not going to compete.' He had the balls to do it, alright, let's do it. That little stupid Mad Max Thunderdome cage. I got so mad because I'm a great storyteller of matches. I hit somebody with a metal stick and it's not a DQ. So let me go through this fucking stupid hole. It was horrible. It was really a workout. I workout, but it was a workout thing. In the morning, Terry Taylor came up to me, I love Terry Taylor, he goes, 'I want you to practice.' I'm a very confident guy. 'Nah, I'm good.' I should've practiced. I had a bad shoulder at the time and had rotator cuff surgery. The first live show, competing with Monday Night Raw and I was the first big angle. I fucked up. It was one of the most embarrassing moments of my career. I should've practiced it. I had a bad shoulder and the story didn't make sense. Jeff Hardy comes in, beats me up. He was late. His music played and he was late. I told Vince Russo, 'I thought me and Jeff had a program.' 'Oh, let me think about it kid.' If somebody says, 'let me think about it' and puts their hand up, I know what that means. I'm not stupid. I'm like, 'Yeah, they messed up.' I'm gonna get released."

EC3 talks about Bryan Danielson: "He's one of the best wrestlers ever in the ring, he's an awesome, educated, interesting dude. Doesn't have to be about wrestling, you can talk to him about anything. He has a sick, twisted sense of humor, which I dearly appreciate. He's a good person to be around, great dad. It was cool to be around him and we were both in on the fact that nobody cares about the shows, but we just made it as fun as possible. Doing the outrageous, outlandish, horse crap comedy that we were doing, we were having a very good time spit-balling dumb ideas back and forth, and since it wasn't controlled, we just did them. Fans remember it. American flag pants, double date with the Bellas, submission wrestling, American flags falling out of nowhere. We made a subpar situation as cool as we could have. All you need, man, just give me an inch and I'll make a mile. People can complain about what they get or they can make the most of it and do the best of their abilities, and it's very easy to sit back and complain, and it's very hard to find the positive in situations like that."

Bianca Belair talks about SummerSlam: "SummerSlam, that was a day. That whole day was so chaotic. Everything was so last minute. This one sitting beside me here really kept me intact and constantly checked my perspective. I was champion and then to lose my title in 26 seconds, it's a hard blow, especially because I feel like I was just getting started and it got snatched away so quickly. It's a marathon and usually, I don't go online and look at comments, but after my mom was like, 'You have to go online, people are rooting for you.' They got behind me even more and were mad about it. My fans understand and see something special in me and want to see me thrive and are rooting for me. My perspective, I just have to keep that in mind and know that I want to be the best at what I do, whether that's going out there and performing and putting on a great show no matter who I'm in a match with and have great chemistry with them. What's for me will be for me and nobody can stop that. The cream is gonna rise to the top and I'm gonna eventually get back to the top."

Reggie talks about Matt Bloom (Prince Albert a/k/a Lord Tensai) and EJ Nduka: "Off the bat, Matt Bloom is a huge person, supporter, because he is the one that gave me the opportunity. As far as in-ring talent, I have my boy, EJ Nduka just being my road dog throughout the whole pandemic. Getting better, preaching what we wanted, and making it happen. Ricochet has been like a brother to me as well. Huge inspiration, huge mentor. Most definitely dream match. We had a minute and a half of in-ring competition and it was taken away from us so quickly. But those two guys have been big supports, huge guys for me."

Paul Heyman says Big E gained more than he lost facing Roman Reigns: "I didn't see that as a loss for Big E. I saw it as a magnificent victory. Away from The New Day, all on his own, without anyone else in his corner, Big E stood tall and brought the fight to Roman Reigns."

Rocky Romero talks about WWE's talks with New Japan: "I don't know how much I can actually say, but I can definitely say that they reached out. Definitely, WWE reached out, as they do every X amount of years. So obviously, Danielson being in the middle of that was no secret and it was no secret to Tony Khan either. Obviously, Tony was a part of that too once Bryan was completely free and clear to make those talks with him. So, yeah, a lot of people talk. I wouldn't go so far as saying that there was ever going to be a deal made or anything like that. It's just - if WWE comes knocking on the door and they want to talk you're going to - people are going to listen to what they have to say. Obviously working with AEW compared to WWE is two completely different things."

Last but not least Kane (Glenn Jacobs) talks about getting into politics: "As my wrestling career was starting to wind down and I could see that I was getting older and starting to lose a step. I knew that I needed to do something else in my life. I had always been interested in politics and government. Mainly, my philosophy is very Conservative-Libertarian. My interest was keeping the government off my back."
