WWE reportedly trying to partner with a Wrestling Company in Puerto Rico and Mexico

[Chris]

I never heard it was over. WIll probably become more evident as time goes forward. You will know for sure next mania season if there's no njpw tna crossover show its probably over.

It's hard to know because SO FAR we have never heard of AEW requesting the termination of partnership with WWE as prerequisite to do business.\

We have to imagine TNA will not be able to work with AEW during the NXT partnership given past policy but we could be proven wrong

There was no TNA/NJPW multiverse this Mania season tbh and I highly doubt there's one this year but sometimes they'd do it around August or so too so we'll see

Kinda loudly dropped with ABC IMO, Kushida did work NJPW recently as a TNA talent but only as a last minute injury replacement, it wasn't planned.

And they also announced an official AAA partnership in January which I found odd bc they already had one but in hindsight seems to have been stating their loyalty to them when everyone else was moving to CMLL

That is a good point about ABC but I’m not sure if that’s just gedo changing his mind on bullet club because bang bang gang how to change their name too so it’s kind of weird.

I imagine konnan was like can we just reestablish our partnership so they don’t think they’re leaving for CMLL like everyone else lol

ah i see it was summer 2023 for MU2

fwiw, I believe Jay or AEW recently refuted that they were not allowed to use Bullet Club Gold and it very much still was a thing

Nick Khan was literally at Bloodsport and NXT does a Bloodsport match every other month now

That’s a good point on the blood sport stuff. I keep forgetting about that. It’s just Main style GCW. I don’t see really clashing too well with the WWE style.

It definitely wouldn't but GCW is a melting pot of styles, it has just about everything you can think of. WWE would just use the ones that appeals to them, honestly they'd probably actually love to own the Bloodsport name itself for the branding of those underground matches

Weird because they definitely changed every reference to them on the website to bang bang gang and on their Name plates bang bang gang.

I can’t argue with that logic, because I do think what would be a good name for a professional wrestling brand to utilize.

If we do get further confirmation that they’re still considered members of the bullet club by new Japan, I will say I do like the idea of the subunit being called bang bang gang similar to when they had the elite or GOD within the group and it does sound a little better than bullet club Gold.

I think court is too stupid to band with AEW. I don’t understand why MLW and TNA weren’t doing something when they both have super limited tapings a month. It would have been super easy.

I would pop for some MLW originals getting matches on collision or rampage.

Sami and Moxley teaming up in MLW would also be money for court.

I would be willing to bet it's because that way Jay and the boys get more royalties and don't have to pay a cut to njpw

Makes sense. I do prefer bang bang gang name as a subunit name if they are still technically in the overall bullet club.

Hopefully we get some bbg interaction with bc at fd3.
