During Sunday’s installment of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez discussed Rich Swann’s match being pulled from tonight’s episode of RAW because of his arrest over the weekend.

Bryan Alvarez reports that they are trying to get Hideo Itami to debut on tonight’s RAW as the replacement for Swann on the show. Alvarez said if they are unable to get him in for the show, they will probably just do a multi-person match to determine the new challenger for Enzo Amore’s Cruiserweight Championship.

We will keep you updated if WWE makes an official announcement.

Welcome to the fastest hour on television, 205 Live!

Well the cruiserweight division has had quite the shake-up as of late hasn’t it? Whether you like Enzo Amore or not, he’s definitely had the desired effect on the division; he’s shook things up and gotten people to care. Two weeks in a row now, Enzo and his peers have main evented Raw, before him that was unheard of. That’s not to say Enzo is the best worker in the division, in fact he’s probably the worst, but he has put the division on the map.

So last night, Enzo once again ran down every other member of the division and they could do nothing about it because they would be fired if they laid a finger on the realest guy in the room. That stipulation did not apply to 205 Live’s latest acquisition however: Kalisto. Sure, the big reveal was a let-down when we realised it was Kalisto, I myself was hoping for Hideo Itami, but Kalisto is perfect for 205 Live and adds a little bit more name power. Kalisto is now in a feud with Enzo over the title, which is sure to take a new twist or turn on tonight’s show.

Elsewhere on tonight’s show, Cedric Alexander will clash with the newly heel Jack Gallagher. These two have been butting heads for a few weeks now, largely because of the man with a plan, Brian Kendrick. This should be an interesting match but probably only the beginning. Remember to join the conversation on the Ringside Talk app and enjoy the show!

]]> Bobby Fish Reacts to His NXT Debut /bobby-fish-reacts-to-his-nxt-debut/ Fri, 14 Jul 2017 20:06:50 +0000 /bobby-fish-reacts-to-his-nxt-debut/ Bobby Fish spoke with WWE.com. Here are some highlights:

If he thought he’d make it to WWE: “At times, yes, and at times, no. I remember a conversation I had with Kevin Owens in a hotel gym in Chicago a few years back. We were both working for Ring of Honor, and at that time, it seemed like Kevin was headed toward the next step in his journey. I have immense respect for Kevin and all that he’s been through to find his success. He is not the prototype for what was rumored to be ideal here and neither am I. Understanding his drive to succeed here through that conversation made me think that if I want that — which I believe, in some way, anyone who laces up the boots to do this, does on some level — then I will create a similar opportunity for myself. So yeah, I did think I’d be here one day.”

NXT debut: “Somewhat surreal because much of this has come together very quickly. I watched the success of former co-workers and peers, such as Roderick Strong, Kassius Ohnoand Hideo Itami, make that very same walk at Full Sail. At this point, I feel so prepared for this new challenge. In my opinion, this life is about the journey, and when mine ends, I expect that this vessel, my body, will be banged up, battered and beaten, which will be a clear indication of a life well lived. NXT represents the next step in my journey.”

Wrestling in Japan: “Japan will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the place where I received the first big break of my career when I was selected to travel to the island and begin competing for Mitsuharu Misawa’s Pro Wrestling NOAH at the end of 2006. I worked eight years with NOAH and developed much of my style there. I learned from and tallied matches with Japanese legends like Misawa himself, Kenta Kobashi and Jun Akiyama. I was also afforded the opportunity to develop alongside my Japanese peers like Hideo Itami, Atsushi Aoki and Naomichi Marufuji. In 2014, I left NOAH with their blessing to pursue a career with New Japan Pro Wrestling. There is no question in my mind that this is the place where I truly rounded out my skillset. I cannot thank [New Japan matchmaker] Gedo enough for the opportunity he gave me when I was invited there to compete. I shared the New Japan ring with a living legend in Jushin “Thunder” Liger, UFC Hall of Famer Kazushi Sakuraba, Yuji Nagata, Shinsuke Nakamura and Hiroshi Tanahashi. The list is endless, and I am forever grateful. I am a better wrestler because of my time with New Japan Pro Wrestling.”
