On the latest "Kliq This" podcast, Kevin Nash said he is not on WWE payroll and cleared up what he said last week on why he won’t be at Sting’s last match. Nash previously stated that Sting invited him to be there but Nash couldn't go because of his affiliation with WWE.

“I never said that (that I was on the WWE payroll)," Nash said. "What I said is I’m a WWE guy. I can’t have a picture of me in the crowd and underneath it says, ‘Is all Elite.’ I just can’t have that. It just doesn’t work. One of my closest fu**ing friends is Paul Levesque. As much as I love Steve and I know he will only have one last match, I will watch it. We will talk about it. I haven’t been to a WrestleMania, a RAW, a SmackDown, or any of the other pay-per-views. I haven’t been to any events. I don’t want to go to any place and be around a bunch of people, let alone wrestling people. I just don’t want to do it. I’m a hermit and that’s it.”

Kevin Nash’s co-host said, “I thought a couple weeks ago that the ‘Cody Crazies’, that it was genuine. Now I think they’re loving Rock as a heel.”

Nash responded, “That’s why I said all along the money is Dwayne in any form or fashion. If Babe Ruth, if you can get him to come back in a time machine and play for the Yankees, he would be the most over motherfu**er on the Yankees squad. He’s Babe Ruth. When you’re a shell of yourself and you were a superstar, that’s one thing. Like, even John Cena is much smaller and he’s losing his hair. He’s showing age. Rock is like Yule Brenner. Every time I see ‘The Ten Commandments’ and Yul Brenner is walking around, I’m like The Rock stole his sh*t from Yul Brenner.”

Fuego Del Sol talks interest from other promotions.

I don't think the details were in the original article so:

QT Marshall is All Elite….again.

Fightful has learned that QT Marshall is returning to All Elite Wrestling, but in a much different capacity. Sources indicated to Fightful that Marshall and AEW worked out their prior issues, and he’ll be coming back in the VP role that he once held. However, he is not planned to return as an in-ring talent.

Those that we spoke to say that an agreement was in place as of a couple of weeks ago. He has not started back with the company as of yet.

We’re told that Marshall is free to wrestle outside of AEW, with the exception of WWE. The 38-year old Marshall hadn’t wrestled since his AEW deal officially ended on December 31 until this past week's TCW show, but has shown off his physical transformation on Twitter.

Marshall has teamed up with Teil Rhodes to revive Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling, which was a creation of Dusty Rhodes. Their first show was February 8 in McDonough, GA and featured former WWE Superstar Matt Cardona as well as Scotty Riggs, Glacier, Aaron Solo and more.

Marshall has not been backstage at AEW as of yet.

Not the result Baron Corbin wanted, but he learned.

Owens and Becky Lynch spoke with The Daily Mail.

Luger said, "You want me to answer that? Let me put it this way. I will go back to 35 years of friendship. Friendship sometimes transcends the kayfabe or workup the other and there may be ramifications or there may not. Sting was there for me at three in the morning when I had my motorcycle wreck and they wanted to cut my arm off and kind of stopped the doctors from cutting my arm off. So people could read into that what they want, on whether I might be at the building or not. I won't confirm anything, but I'm just saying. I'll leave it in that context. How's that?"

Seems to be a trial thing they're doing (per l3ader021 on /r/SQ). They left it up for a few hours (until 23:59 JST specifically, which is in an hour from me typing this technically).

Usually the house shows aren't recorded, so this is probably BR testing the waters to see if it's worth broadcasting in the future and what set up would be needed. Either way I have saved the show for everyone! (if the link goes down let me know and I can fix it).

The camera positioning is not great by any stretch of the imagination but I figure they weren't gonna pay the camcorder guy the extra 18 yen to zoom in a little for something they may do the one time only. Either way a little oddity that may end up disappearing and end up on some wrestling data hoarders wish list someday.

(The show is a single fixed hard cam with no commentary but still, ooo house show, not supposed to seee~ lol. Opening bells are around 28m into the video [prior to that there is a contract signing between Miyu Amasaki and Rina which is later in the show, and not much else], entrance tunnel is opposite of hard cam.)
