Dominik Mysterio’s WWE glow-up has drawn praise from The Good Brothers.
Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows were special guests on TMZ’s Inside The Ring. Anderson perceived Mysterio as a World Champion in the initial years of touring in WWE.
Anderson said:
“Dominik is, I’ve said it even back then, you know, when he first started, I wasn’t sure when he was a baby face and he was just getting moving. But then when we worked with him in The Judgment Day, dude, we got on the road with him. We were doing live events with him and it was like immediately then though. That was man, I can’t believe it now, that’s four years ago. I said, ‘Dude, Dom’s a future World Champion, and there’s no way he’s not going to be.’”
Anderson pointed out how the young Mysterio always eagerly listened and put into effect the advice he received backstage to hone his wrestling abilities.
“He’s too good. He’s too smart. He’s too respectful. He listens. He takes advice and actually does it. You know, he doesn’t just take the advice and just have it go one ear (out the other). He actually listens and and changes and does what he’s told and and practice and, puts to practice what he hears.It’s amazing to watch Dom what he’s turned into.”
Gallows added how Mysterio complemented his heel turn with the strong reaction and backlash from fans.
“Dom’s a pro-wrestling sponge. And the beautiful thing about him was watching that heel turn. And you don’t know how people are going to be when they’re young and they’re getting booed, but talk about somebody who learned to bask in the heat, live the heat, get more heat, have unbelievable, can’t talk on the microphone level booing and heat. It’s incredible, man. And kudos to him.”
Anderson added about Finn Balor’s exit from The Judgment Day and wished it was done earlier.
“I wish he (Finn Balor) could’ve left the Judgment Day earlier and I wish we could have had a really fun run together at some point obviously. Finn’s a top, top, tippy top guy, and this is his moment. I hope he gets a chance to be the World Heavyweight Champion, and he gets to be heel Finn Balor at the top, a heel champion Finn Balor at the top.”
The Good Brothers feuded with The Judgment Day in 2022. They aligned with a returning Michin to deal with their Rhea Ripley problem after she slammed Gallows in a viral WWE moment on an edition of Raw in October that year.
AEW Tag Team Champions Brodido will be working The Good Brothers in an indie match later this month.
It’s been announced that a non-title bout between Brody King & Bandido and Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson will take place in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on Saturday, November 29. The match is part of the annual WrestleCade SuperShow — which is a Thanksgiving weekend tradition in Winston-Salem during the WrestleCade convention.
🚨See The Good Brothers vs Brodido at the WrestleCade SuperShow, part of #WrestleCade Weekend.
The show is happening at the Benton Convention Center and will be broadcast via Title Match Network. Also announced for the card is a singles bout with Killer Kross (w/ Scarlett Bordeaux) facing Psycho Boy Fodder (w/ Angelina Love).
Originally put together as a makeshift team, Brodido have thrived in the AEW tag division, becoming champs this August. They have a title defense coming up soon against FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) at AEW’s Full Gear pay-per-view on November 22.
This will be the first time Brodido have faced The Good Brothers. Gallows & Anderson — who have experience in WWE, NJPW, TNA, AEW, and more — are set to debut for MLW on November 20.
WrestleCade 2025 is being held from November 28-30, with Sting, Trish Stratus, Kazuchika Okada, Jushin Thunder Liger, The Hardys, and Arn Anderson among those who will be attending the convention portion of the weekend.
Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows have added another set of tag team titles to their resume.
The Good Brothers won The Crash Tag Team Championships on Friday, November 7, at the promotion’s 14th Anniversary Show in Tijuana, Mexico. They defeated D’Luxe & Pierroth Jr. and defending champions El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno del Mal in a three-way match.
The finish saw Anderson pin D’Luxe after the Magic Killer.
Before the match, Wagner Jr. and Galeno del Mal cut a promo announcing their intention to vacate the titles, hinting that their commitments with AAA/WWE would prevent them from defending the belts regularly. This brought out the Black Rebellion team of D’Luxe & Pierroth Jr., who demanded a title shot, followed by Anderson and Gallows, who challenged both teams.
The impromptu title match took place at The Crash’s 14th Anniversary show, which was streamed live on the promotion’s YouTube channel from the Auditorio Fausto Gutiérrez Moreno.. The title change marks the 13th in the championship’s history, with The Good Brothers becoming the 12th team to hold the belts.
The segment begins around the 2:30:00 mark of the video below:
The MLW World Tag Team Championships will be on the line next month in Charleston, South Carolina.
MLW announced on Wednesday that The Skyscrapers (Donovan Dijak & Bishop Dyer) will defend their titles against The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows) at MLW x Don Gato Tequila: Live Special on Thursday, November 20. It will be Anderson and Gallows’ promotional debut.
“This marks a first-time-ever collision between two of the sport’s top teams, and it carries special meaning. The Good Brothers’ arrival in MLW has been years in the making, dating back to when the duo first launched their smash-hit podcast, Talk’n Shop, on the MLW Radio Network. Now, their long-awaited MLW debut comes full circle — and they’re looking to make it count with championship gold. Could the Good Brothers pull off the ultimate debut and win the MLW World Tag Team Titles in their very first match? Or will the skyscraping champions stand tall once again?”
The show is scheduled for the Charleston Music Hall and will air on YouTube and BeIN Sports. It’s currently the final event MLW has listed for 2025, with their first show of the new year set for Kings of Colosseum VI on January 10 in Dallas.

The Good Brothers are coming to MLW for the first time ever.
MLW confirmed today that Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows will debut for the promotion in Charleston, South Carolina next month. The official announcement was made after The Good Brothers cut a social media promo saying they wanted to be involved in the Thursday, November 20 event — which is being put on by MLW in partnership with Hollywood star Danny McBride and his Don Gato tequila brand.
The Good Brothers just made it clear — they want IN on the MLW x @DonGatoTequila live special Nov 20. 🥃💪
Gallows & Anderson will be wrestling at the show, but their opponents have not been announced yet. The duo are one of the most well-traveled teams in wrestling, having held gold for WWE, NJPW, TNA, and more. The MLW tag belts are held by Donovan Dijak & Bishop Dyer at the moment.
Since their most recent WWE stint ended this February, The Good Brothers have wrestled on the indies while remaining free agents. They also worked a date for NJPW in the United States back in May.
This is The Good Brothers’ first time wrestling for MLW, but they do have ties to the company dating back to a decade ago when their Talk ‘n’ Shop podcast originally was part of the MLW Radio network.
A special appearance by Arn Anderson has also been announced for the MLW x Don Gato Tequila event. It’s taking place at Charleston Music Hall and will air live on YouTube and beIN Sports.
The Good Brothers are officially free agents — and they’ve already booked their NJPW return.
Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson entered free agency today with 90 days having passed since WWE released them. NJPW announced that the two will return to the promotion this Friday at Resurgence, where they’ll reunite with their former Bullet Club faction members The Young Bucks in an eight-man tag match against Gabe Kidd, David Finlay, Clark Connors & Gedo of Bullet Club War Dogs.
NJPW shared a promo with Gallows & Anderson addressing their return:
“What you’re witnessing here today my friends, it is not a re-debut. It is not an arrival shot. It is a resurrection. It is the resurgence of the Good Brothers,” Gallows said.
“May 9 is day one at Resurgence,” Anderson added. “You are witnessing a total takeover.”
Gallows & Anderson have had three reigns together as IWGP Tag Team Champions in NJPW. Anderson has also held singles gold in the company with one reign as NEVER Openweight Champion.
Their most recent WWE run lasted from late 2022 until February 2025. Resurgence will be Anderson’s first time wrestling since undergoing surgery last November for a torn rotator cuff and partially torn labrum.
Friday’s show is taking place from Toyota Arena in Ontario, California and will air on New Japan World as a pay-per-view. Here is the updated card:
NJPW Resurgence (Friday, May 9) —
IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Hirooki Goto defends against Zack Sabre Jr.
Strong Women’s Champion Mercedes Mone defends against AZM and Mina Shirakawa in a three-way match
NEVER Openweight Champion Konosuke Takeshita defends against El Phantasmo
Strong Openweight Champion Tomohiro Ishii defends against Drilla Moloney
The Young Bucks, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Gabe Kidd, David Finlay, Clark Connors & Gedo

Sunday News Update
The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson( are now free agents as their Impact contracts expired. They haven’t signed a new deal after signing what I believe were the highest contracts in the company. Both are booked for upcoming NJPW shows, but legally could appear on either WWE or AEW programming as soon as this week. They finished up at the Impact TV tapings the past two nights in Dallas against The OGK (Tag Team title match) and Motor City Machine Guns.
As noted in the update yesterday, AEW Fight Forever won the Best Sports/Racing Game award at Gamescon 2022. It was very impressive to win over sports games that had ten or more times the budget that this game had.
On the flip side, it also came out that FTR are not in the video game. That is bound to stir up even more controversy at a time when AEW has been filled with it.
Goro Tsurumi (Takao Tanaka) passed away in Japan on Friday at the age of 73. He had a number of health issues and passed away from blood pressure issues and sepsis. He also had heart and diabetes related health issues. He wrestled for 43 years: IWE in Japan in the 70s, All Japan from 1982-90 where he was tag team partner with Rusher Kimura and Ashura Hara among others, and later SWS, IWA and tons of indie groups including DDT. He was also Ho Chi Lau, billed as Vietnamese, in Stampede Wrestling and managed by both JR Foley and KJ Wakamatsu. He wasn’t a major star but he was a good solid hard working wrestler. He worked all over the world including Europe and Mexico. He was a star in Mexico in the early 70s.
Hideki Suzuki won the A block in the N-1 tournament with a win over Go Shiozaki today in Kawasaki. Kaito Kiyomiya beat Satoshi Kojima. He and Katsuhiko Nakajima tied with 5-2 records in the B block but Kiyomiya beat Nakajima in their head-to-head meeting. The finals will be this coming Saturday night in Osaka at Edion Arena.
I wanted to note the passing of Hawaii historian George Beppu at the age of 79. He passed away in Brighton, CO, in October due to COVID, but the word just got out in wrestling circles through former Los Angeles photographer Dan Westbrook . He lived in California after wrestling and opened a Sambo’s and a Sweet Caroline’s shop. His photos were all over Ed Francis’ book 50th State Big Time Wrestling. He was also heavily involved in this historical site. He was a photographer and magazine writer who covered the great unique shows that Ed Francis put on in the 60s and early 70s. At one time, he also did the programs for the Francis shows. He was a correspondent for my old California Wrestling Report newsletter and an early subscriber to the Observer. He had moved in with his daughter’s family in recent years.
Today is an anniversary of two giant historical shows. 20 years ago today (August 28, 2022) was Pride Dynamite! at National Stadium before 70,000 fans (announced at 91,107) which featured all kinds of memorable fights including Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Bob Sapp and Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Mirko Cro Cop. They did a lot of fights regardless of weight class in those days which isn’t a good thing. This was the biggest crowd and gate in MMA history up to this point in time.
The other was on August 28, 1986, at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto: a WWE show called The Big Event, headlined by a match with Hulk Hogan vs Paul Orndorff. The show set the all-time pro wrestling attendance record as far as documented numbers with just over 64,000 in the building and more than 61,000 paid. It was really the success of this show that led to the idea of WrestleMania III at the Pontiac Silverdome. It was also the first $1 million gate in North America.
Antonio Inoki, 79, appeared today on a national broadcast in Japan of the TV show 24 Hours — an annual show that does positive stories about those who are handicapped. Inoki’s health has been bad for some time and he’s now wheelchair bound. There is talk in Japan of another IGF show, which is the promotion he’s named after and the frontman for.
Regarding Google searches for the week, there was no pro wrestling at all and no UFC since yesterday was a rare Saturday without a show. There were two boxing related searches this week. Celebrity KSI, who did two fights against overmatched guys, was No. 3 in the country with 500,000 searches yesterday. On Thursday, Mike Tyson had 50,000 based on the new Hulu series on him that is getting a lot of talk.
WWE’s A&E shows tonight:

ABC was heavily pushing ads for Family Feud tonight with the Mysterio family vs. The Miz family. It’s crazy that as timing would have it, Rey’s bio on A&E goes head-to-head with the show.
They have broken up the combo packs for AEW tickets in Chicago. Previously all the All Out tickets were tied into combo packs as the individual show tickets sold out as soon as they were put on sale. As of this morning there were 716 individual tickets to the PPV out.
Results from last night’s WWE house show bout in Springfield, MA — their first time in the city in three years:
Usos b Street Profits to keep the tag titles clean
Ciampa b Cedric Alexander clean. Alexander’s shoulder was taped up
Bobby Lashley retained the U.S.title in a three-way over A.J. Styles and Theory when Lashley pinned Theory with a spear.
Iyo Sky b Asuka with an akward finish. The ref counted the pin with both in the ropes. Bianca Belair was advertised and it was never announced in the market but she was pulled to do an appearance at a college football game. Becky Lynch was advertised but obviously she’s injured. Rhea Ripley was advertised but not there.
Kevin Owens b Chad Gabe
Gunther kept the IC tile over Ricochet. Very good match, crowd was behind Ricochet.
The main event was scheduled as Drew McIntyre & New Day vs. Sheamus & Ridge Holland & Butch. They announced McIntyre was pulled due to the angle shot Friday night. Actually they are trying to rest him up with a legit back injury going into the Clash at the Castle show. So it was a three-on-two match until McIntyre showed up and hit Butch with a Claymore kick for the win.
McIntyre said he was given the option to take the weekend off but he didn’t want to miss this show and then he and New Day closed with a dancing routine. McIntyre cut a promo encouraging people to watch Clash at the Castle. (thanks to Jordan Sayle)
The same crew runs in Manchester, NH, tonight and we’re looking for reports on that show to [email protected].
“Alpha Female” Jazzy Gabert vs. The Ava will be a first round match for the IWGP Women’s title tournament at Royal Quest in London. Originally there were going to be four women wrestlers in the international bracket and four in the Japanese bracket. Now it’s down to three as the Gabert/Ava winner will face another woman. On the Japanese side, the highest placing wrestler in the Five Star tournament from Stars, Donna Del Mondo, Oedo Tai and Queen’s Quest will be in the four-women tournament. The finals are set for 11/20 following the semifinals on 10/23.
