Tues. #2 is HERE. To help out the site subscribe to Mistah MegaManFan or support us on Patreon. With the cheap plugs out of the way here's Wednesday's latest wrestling news.

Speaking to Yahoo! Sports, Eddie Kingston talked about his appreciation for how AEW supports their wrestlers: "The old way, we never told a booker or a promoter anything. We didn't tell them when we were hurt. We'd be there with a broken ankle and still going to work, tape it up and go because we were scared of losing a job or a spot. It feels very good that we have a team here, and that's the key word, that understands it, supports us and wants us to be both physically and mentally right. It feels very good to have that backing."

On Throwing Down with Renee & Miesha, Renee Paquette said she wasn't a fan of Big E being pinned at Day 1: "I just wish, given the stipulation of it being a fatal five-way, the fact that Big E did not have to be pinned or submitted in order to lose the title. I just don't know why he had to be the one to take the pin. You know, I feel like it could've gone to, you know, somebody else in the fight. Maybe Kevin Owens? Sorry, Kevin. It definitely opens the door to see like, what's next? Are we going to get to see more of Big E and Brock? It does seem like we're going to see some Bobby Lashley and Brock, which I cannot wait to see. I think Bobby Lashley is so cool, he's just an insane athlete and I can't wait to see what those two do."

On his new podcast, Jake "The Snake" Roberts talked about feeling needed in AEW: "I'm in AEW now, these young kids down there, I love them to death, even though it is Cirque du Soleil in a ring. It's different but even though it is still the same. You know, the things that I can teach you you can use still use today. When Nash, you know, would let me ride with them, it made me feel really good and made me feel needed. Don't we all wanna feel needed, man?"

NXT videos from New Year's Evil and related WWE clips are below.

In addition here are some new AEW videos.

In this interview Brian Myers says he and Matt Cardona pitched the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast to WWE: "We tried to give the show to the WWE, but they didn't get it. We were like, 'you've got UpUpDownDown with Xavier Woods, which is the video game space that makes this company a lot of money. This is the same exact thing about wrestling figures.' They basically told us to, 'shut the fuck up.' So we just did it on our own anyway. Thank the wrestling gods because they would have owned it today and it's my baby. It's so special to me and the fans that listen, they know. It's an unbelievable thing, I am so grateful for it."
