FTRIn this interview FTR says a match against each other in AEW was their idea. Dax Harwood: "This was our idea. We had to fight for it, but that was completely our idea. We always wanted to have a match, but we didn't want to just have a match just to have a match. There had to be a reason. This is a perfect reason to do it. The Hart family means a lot to both of us, personally and professionally. Being able to show respect to Owen Hart and his whole family, what better way to do it than allowing the two biggest Hart family fans in the world to compete?" Cash Wheeler: "In time, there was no way for Owen to get the tribute he deserves. Now we have the platform for that. We wrestled one time and when we did, I never felt the electricity when we locked up and when we started working, just how easy it was. We want to be the best and I think Dax is the best wrestler in the world. For me to get better, I want to wrestle him. I don't want to do a ton of singles stuff, but I want to do something that matters to me and this is one that we, for years, 'how can we make it make sense? How can we have a singles match against each other? Just a straight-up, back-and-forth wrestling match in our vision?' There was no way to make it make sense before because we don't want to tease a break up, do a break up, no interest in that, I'll retire before we ever entertain that idea. Print it. Tattoo it. I don't care. We're never going to do a break up angle. When we heard about the Owen, we were like, 'We have to go to Tony with the idea of a singles match.' He didn't like it, but he said, 'I have to see if I can make it make sense.' We just stayed on him about it. 'Can we? Can we?' Finally, he was like, 'I got a way where I can make it work. We can do it. You'll do it in Philly.' He liked the idea, we just had to make sure, 'please let us, please let us, it means a lot to us,' and he finally gave us the nod and here we are."

Here Jay Lethal says he didn't think Ring of Honor would come back from hiatus: "I sadly, and I don't speak for everyone, I just speak for myself, I was one of the people who thought the company was officially done. Not that I didn't have any faith in the company, I just didn't think that it was going to bounce back from releasing everybody and trying to do some type of revamping. In my heart, I felt like if this was a real revamp, why do you need to let everybody go first? Can't we figure out another way to do this? (When Tony Khan bought it) there were a couple of reactions. One, I was shocked. I was so shocked, like wow, that was out of left field, I was not expecting that. Although I did think there were a couple matches and such in the Ring of Honor library that AEW would benefit from owning and the second thought, I had extreme joy in the fact that there was a possibility that a lot of my friends that were out of jobs would now have jobs. That's still up in the air, unfortunately, but I don't run things. Hopefully, this will lead to a lot of my friends who really need jobs right now can get their jobs back, so to speak, with ROH. Those are my two instant thoughts, shocked as heck because it just felt like that was out of nowhere, what, and then oh my god, please, some of my friends really need their jobs because they moved or bought houses and have families and kids depending on them. Hopefully, they can get their jobs back or an opportunity for something."

New WWE related videos are available below.

In addition new AEW related videos are below.

In this interview QT Marshall talks about a Vince McMahon quirk he agrees with: "Everyone jokes about the 'Vince-isms,' but Pat Buck just came to AEW and we were talking about, when he was in WWE, some of the 'Vince-isms.' One of the things he said was, Vince doesn't like when you grab someone and you just chuck them back in the ring and they roll in 30 times. I thought about it and I said, 'You know what, that kind of makes sense.' You've seen it for so many years, so it's something you know, but it does make sense. If you get thrown in, you wouldn't roll all the way to the other side. You would probably just pick the guy up, put them on the apron, and then get it and yank them into the middle of the ring. It's more realistic. I thought about it, and as weird as that is to really harp on on your TV show, out of all the things you can harp on, I thought, 'Maybe when I'm out there, I'm not gonna let someone do that to me. I'm either going to get myself back in the ring or I'm going to take something on the outside that is so rough that they have to pick me up on their back and place me onto the ring and push me in.' I thought it would add more realism, and I could be completely wrong, but I do try to think about those things."

Darius Martin is reportedly out of action again with another leg injury. (FF)

A couple of new videos from New Japan Pro Wrestling are below.

In this interview Thunder Rosa talks about trusting Tony Khan's vision: "He listens, and when you make sense, he will listen to what you have to say. Sometimes I feel people might think, 'Why is he doing that?' And I see that a lot on the internet, you guys have to believe in his vision, it is what it is. That's one of the things that I have learned about him. Everything that he's done from when I first started to now, I left it up to him. The build-up on the Lights Out match, and now, to having the match in San Antonio, that was great. I never went in and said, 'no, I want to do this,' it was, 'I see your vision, and I'm going to make sure what you see is what you're going to get.' That's what I said, and I made sure that I did everything in my power to do that, and I will continue to do that as a champion."

Vickie Guerrero is excited about AEW's women's division: "You know, there's been a lot of growth in that division. With us hiring more women around the world like Toni Storm. It's really exciting to see we are getting so much diversity. To have them be a part of the locker room, it's just going to get better."

Ratings for Impact Wrestling and NJPW on AXS TV are in. This week's Impact show did 112,000 and a 0.03, down 8.9% and a point from 123,000 and 0.04 last week. New Japan did a 0.01 18-49 with 51,000 viewers, the same demo but up 2% from 50,000 the week before. (Wrestlenomics)
