Taz mentions that he saw most of NXT last night, and he was particularly impressed with the match between Johnny Gargano and Fabian Aichner. He says this was just a strong, straight forward wrestling match and Taz urges all his listeners to check it out. He was surprised that they booked Aichner to win, but he thought this was a good decision because losing here doesn’t hurt Gargano.

He says that winning this match is a big step for Aichner and he thought Aichner looked very good in this bout, especially since he’s only been in the business for a couple of years according to reports. Taz does point out that Gargano is a lot like A.J. Styles in the sense that he can have a good match with anybody, but what really impressed Taz about Aichner is that he took advantage of this opportunity and had a very good showing.

Taz is very excited to see the NXT Championship match between Drew McIntyre and Andrade ‘Cien’Almas at the upcoming NXT Takeover event. He thinks these two guys are going to put together a great match and it won’t surprise Taz if Almas picks up a surprise victory here.

While speaking to Ring Rust Radio, Johnny Impact was asked about the rumors about Global Force Wrestling and what’s going on behind the scenes. He was also asked how does it affect him and how does he go about trying to block out all the whispers. Johnny responded with the following:

“Man some of the best advice I got in wrestling I got from Matt Cappotelli who’s dealt so much stuff, so much hardship, adversity and always remained positive. His biggest advice to me was worry about the things you can control, don’t worry about the things you can’t because that will drive you crazy. So, I take that to me meaning I can control what I do in the ring, I can control how jacked I am, how tan I am, how my hair looks, how I talk, how I walk, but if the company is sold it’s going to be on a different network or its going to go bankrupt. On some level, worrying about that takes energy and I don’t want to put my energy into worrying about something that’s ultimately not my decision anyways. So I’ve become good at just cutting that off and not worrying about it because it’s either going to happen or it’s not going to happen but regardless I know I am going to land on my feet because I’m focusing on the things that I can control. I’m a valuable asset to GFW, Lucha Underground, AAA, WWE and even Ring of Honor. Who knows, maybe Johnny Honor may make an impact too. By worrying about just me, it eliminates that worry.”

Block 1:

Taz says he was able to watch most of last night’s episode of NXT.

He says he was extremely impressed by Johnny Gargano and Raul Mendoza, and the effort these two put in during the opening match last night. He doesn’t understand why this calibre of match was wasted on a regular episode of NXT, because he thinks this match could have easily fit onto a ‘Takeover’ card.

Taz says that Mendoza should have been built up more prior to this match, so that these two guys could have entered a more drawn out, in-depth program. He thinks they have tremendous chemistry, and Taz was particularly impressed by Mendoza, given how little we know about him. He adds that Mendoza has better entrance music than half of the guys on RAW.

He adds that if there was one thing he could criticize about this match, it’ll be Gargano’s submission finish. He actually loves that cross-face finisher, but he feels that it takes too long for Gargano to lock in the hold. It’s an impossible hold for Gargano to quickly surprise his opponent with, and the transition into the hold is a little bit too clunky in Taz’s opinion.

Taz points out that the great thing about his choke hold finish is that he could surprise his opponents with it and lock it in out of nowhere. Samoa Joe does a similar thing with his finish, and Sgt. Slaugter did it for years with his finisher.

Here is footage of Tuesday’s episode of MTV’s The Challenge: Champs vs. Pros in which CM Punk got into a heated argument with cast member Johnny Bananas.

In the footage, Bananas takes a shot at Punk’s UFC debut loss, which prompted Punk to respond, “I was going to either win gloriously or die a glorious death, and that’s something that someone like you is never going to understand because they wouldn’t let you in because no one would pay a dime to see your ass.”

Johnny Gargano’s wife, Candice LeRae, issued the flowing statement regarding Tommaso Ciampa’s attack on her husband at Saturday’s NXT Takeover event:

“Johnny is hurting physically, mentally, and we’re drained emotionally. It was a long night and we appreciate everyone’s support and kind words. It’s going to be a process, but my husband is resilient and will back stronger than ever ASAP.

We will try to keep you updated on his progress. For now, this is all I can say on the matter. I have no words for the absolutely selfish acts of this person we believed was apart of our family.

Thank you all for your love and support.”
