Impact Wrestling reveals location for Hard to Kill PPV

Posted on by Skylar Russell

Impact Wrestling will be returning to Dallas to start off 2022.

As announced today by the promotion, January’s Hard To Kill pay-per-view event will take place at The Factory in Dallas, Texas on Saturday, January 8th. This will mark the second time that Impact has hosted an event in the building, as the 2020 edition of Hard To Kill emanated live from the same building. On that show, Tessa Blanchard defeated Sami Callihan to become the first woman to ever hold the Impact World Championship.

Tickets are set to go on sale on Friday, November 12th at 10 AM EST.

Impact has held their recent events at Sam’s Town in Las Vegas, as they held the Bound For Glory pay-per-view at the venue and have also done television tapings. The promotion currently has one more set of tapings scheduled at Sam’s Town in November, as well as the Turning Point Impact Plus show that will air live.

NJPW obtains US visas, reveals ticket info for G1 show in Dallas

Posted on by Bryan Rose

NJPW has confirmed that they have visas for their Japanese wrestlers to wrestle in the United States as they prepare for the G1 Climax 29 Opening Day this summer.

In a simple statement on New Japan’s site, the company wrote “New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Japanese wrestlers have obtained their visas for the United States. We truly appreciate the understanding and support of our fans.”

The company also confirmed that tickets will go on sale for their G1 Climax 29 Opening Day event in Dallas, Texas on March 13 starting at 12 p.m. Central time. Prices will start at $50 and will go as high as $300.

Due to the United States government shutdown that started in December and ended a month later, New Japan was unable to get visas in time for shows that took place during the New Beginning tour earlier this month. As a result, a number of planned matches featuring the likes of Tomohiro Ishii, Yuji Nagata and Hirooki Goto had to be scrapped. ROH and other local talent were brought in instead for the shows.

Dave Meltzer’s WWE WrestleMania Diary: Foley reality show, Mauro and WaleMania

Posted on by Dave Meltzer

*As the story goes, there were practices for aspects of a big stunt on Sunday.    

*On last night’s Steve Austin podcast with Mick Foley, where daughter Noelle did a cameo, they confirmed earlier reports of Foley doing a family reality show of the network, which will include Noelle training to be a WWE performer.  She’s already on the network doing some segments.

*NXT will start live at 8:30 p.m. with a few dark matches.  The TV broadcast starts at 9 p.m.  The’s local time, add an hour later for Eastern time.  Ticketholders, or at least some, were sent an e-mail this morning telling them about the new start time for the show at the Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.

*Unlike last year where things were spread out all over town, NXT, Evolve and ROH are all within walking distance of each other.  Going to be weird as a lot of people with ROH tickets are also going to NXT, so I’m guessing there will be an exodus about 50 minutes into the ROH show.

*It’s hilarious, because based on the vibe here, if Roman Reigns turns, it may get one of the biggest babyface pops.  That’s all I hear of people saying how much they want him to turn. 

*Mauro Ranallo will be announcing the first three matches of WrestleMania, and hosting the WWE Network first hour as well as the USA Network simulcast second hour.

*WaleMania was last night.  First, I want to say think you to everyone I got to meet from the site last night.  It was really cool meeting people from all over the country and all over the world.  Tons of wrestlers were there and I’m probably leaving out a ton of names but among them were Jim Ross, Konnan, Kevin Sullivan, Big E, Alberto Del Rio,  Chris Jericho, Zack Sabre Jr., Eddie Edwards, Will Ospreay, Mojo Rawley, Enzo Amoe, Liv Morgan, Amanda (Mandy Rose) from Tough Enough, MVP, Carlito, Primo, Mark Henry, Taya, Pentagon Jr., Drago, Melissa Anderson (Mariposa), Kobra Moon, Justin Roberts, Virgil, Teddy Haft, Chelsea Green (recovering from a broken collarbone while wrestling in India), Noelle Foley, several ex-WWE writers like Alex Greenfield and Ed Ferrara (who now is a teacher at Full Sail University and has never attended an NXT show).  Wale is a huge fan and student of wrestling.  This looks to be an annual part of the WrestleMania weekend on the Thursdayprior to the show.

*About the only actual news that came out of the event was MVP saying that he’s starting with Lucha Underground.

*There is a real buzz among this audience regarding Lucha Underground.  I think it’s the combination of something entirely different and the hot live audience that gives the show a cool feel.  They made a huge mistake not running a live event this weekend. 

*Bryan and I will start our nightly audio shows tonight after the NXT show.
