Posting The_Soub's pick em sheet from SQ

What are your predictions for tonight's show?

• Mercedes Monet shows up and makes her presence known to the AEW women's champ

• Luchasaurus wins the 20 man battle Royale, cashes in tonight and depending who he beats for it, effectively holds the belt for Christian Or reunites with Jungleboy

-Devil is unmasked, it is the very evil version of Danhausen who will play a Jekyll and Hyde character one is our very nice very evil, the other is more akin to the phantom of the opera terrorizing others from behind the scenes. (Yeah not happening but I wouldn't mind seeing it)

-We see some surprise free agents in the 20 man battle Royale

Full quote:

JUST MARRIED! When I realized I would be performing in Vegas, we decided to elope before the show. It was very spontaneous and so perfectly us. I loved every second of it. I’ll post something a little mushier later but its now time for an action packed reception!

If "elsewhere" is where I think it is, tomorrow night is going to be interesting.

Tonight, WWE is pre-taped for the holidays! Their website says this about tonight's card:

Take a look back at some of the astounding moments from a banner 2023, as The Absolute Best of SmackDown airs live TONIGHT at 8/7 C on FOX!

This special episode of SmackDown will feature highlights from some of the iconic matches from the blue brand, special interviews and so much more!

Show starts LIVE at 8pm EST | 5pm PST on FOX. Check your local listings for more information.

In a singles match, if wrestler A gets disqualified, then wrestler B has no one to wrestle, so the match is over and they win.

But with 3 (or more) wrestlers, wrestler B would still have wrestler C, etc, so the match could continue without wrestler A.

So why doesn't it?

I've never understood this, and would appreciate people's thoughts.

(Pic barely related)

AEW turns FIVE on Monday — and that f*cking means something to me.

Another event come and gone, and eventful it was! Let's get into it.

Note: This was the live broadcast so no subtitles as of yet. Tam Nakano did come out and cut a promo while in formal/semi-formal attire but there are no translations yet. Also if you end up watching the full show after the fact, there will be a piss break mid-show, I'll let ya know when!

Also: During the event, the venue lost their internet connection, so those watching via PIA lost the feed and/or had technical issues in the latter half of the events. As such, Stardom uploaded both the Wonder and World of Stardom title matches to YouTube for free, in full. If you want to watch those two matches in full instead of just the ending clips, I'll link the matches down in the comments below!

And that's all folks, the final Stardom match of the year! What are your thoughts? Let us know below.

Her Stardom contract is set to expire in March.

A key reason Takami Ohbari stepped down as NJPW President was that there were issues with staff & Ohbari’s usage of power over them.

A major reason was that Ohbari had heat with a number of people, including Kazuchika Okada.

Okada was said to have wanted him out. Others said that Ohbari never really understood the wrestling business and didn’t respect the value of Okada.

Also reported by SRS at the same time to justify the $5 sub.

PWInsider.com has acquired a copy of the arrest report for WWE star Liv Morgan on 12/14.

The arrest report reads:

The defendant (Gionna Daddio) Committed the offenses of possession of a controlled substance (THC oil ) a vape pen, pursuant to F.S.S 893.13.6a and F.S.S. 893.13.6b- Possession of Marijuana 20 grams or less, by unlawfully and willfully having in her possession a green leafy substance that field tested positive for marijuana within Sumter County to wit:

On 12/14/2023, at approximately 6:26 pm, Sgt. Otero observed a yellow jeep bearing Florida Tag [DELETED BY PWINSIDER] Traveling West on CR 476 Bushnell, Florida, within Sumter County. The vehicle could not remain in the lane it was traveling. Sgt. Otero observed the vehicle to cross over the yellow and white lines on the roadway several times. Sgt. Otero then conducted a stop on the vehicle to ensure the driver wasn't having any health issues. Sgt. Otero explained as he approached the vehicle, he immediately smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.

I Deputy E. Hillman arrived on scene as Sgt Otero was speaking with the defendant. Sgt. Otero asked the defendant to step out of the vehicle. The defendant was detained due to her stating there was marijuana in the vehicle and she did not hold a medical marijuana card. I then took over the investigation.

Upon contact with the defendant, I did a pat down of her person and placed her in the back of my patrol car. A search was done of the vehicle, and in a pink fuzz bag located on the back seat within arms reach of the defendant, I located a small clear plastic bag containing a green leafy substance. A continued search of the vehicle, I located a vape pen within the center console of the vehicle that contained an oil-like substance.

I conducted a presumptive field test on the green leafy substance and the oil-like substance in the vape pen, which all yielded a positive result for marijuana.

I read the defendant's Miranda warning. Post-Miranda, the defendant stated the green leafy substance(marijuana) was hers, and all the items inside the vehicle were hers. The defendant stated that she transports a lot of people in her vehicle, so she doesn't know where the Vape pen came from. The defendant stated she smokes marijuana but does not vape. The defendant stated that she does not have a medical marijuana card.

Due to the vape pen and green leafy substance all testing positive for marijuana, the defendant was placed under arrest.

Morgan's statement to the offending officer that the vape pen was not hers fits with the story that was making the rounds within WWE in the wake of her arrest.

Morgan is slated to be officially arraigned in Sumter County, Florida this February.

Morgan bonded out for $3,000 and was released last night at 10:04 PM.

Morgan has been out of action with a shoulder injury but has been making promotional appearances for WWE of late. She was just as "The Iron Claw" premiere in Hollywood earlier that week.

Shotzi making big impressions!
