Backstage News
- Excalibur's line about Adam Cole being listed as "TBD" on their run sheets was legit. It was a surprise to many, including several backstage when he walked through for his segment.
- For those asking, Scorpio Sky was not backstage despite Dynamite being in his hometown of LA.
- We're told that the MJF line was cleared with Takeshita, for those wondering.
- The Rampage women's match was said to have got a good reaction backstage, but weren't given much context on that.

I really don’t understand why they couldn’t bring back Scorpio Sky in his hometown, it’s the perfect time to bring him back. It’s not like there is nothing for him to do either. You could bring him back in his tag team role with Ethan Page or turn him babyface against Ethan Page & start a feud there.

rhea is my papi
2023-01-13 22:15:03 +0000 UTCthe riskier territory is what makes MJFs character so much more of a piece of shit lmao

2023-01-13 14:57:49 +0000 UTCStupid disappointment cause it wasn't obvious like it was for Punk. All these fucking marks just looking for any reason to shit on it

2023-01-13 01:16:38 +0000 UTCThe show was ruined for you because of the disappointment that others had?
2023-01-13 00:47:18 +0000 UTCA great show that's being ruined after the fact cause the fucking marks worked themselves into a shoot about Mercedes

2023-01-13 00:22:43 +0000 UTCIt would've been nice to have at least a 30 second segment backstage with a mini reunion of Socal Uncensored.

2023-01-12 22:57:36 +0000 UTCWe did not.
2023-01-12 21:25:16 +0000 UTCThe line is Take-a-shit-a.
2023-01-12 21:24:27 +0000 UTCEven with the promo getting cleared, it left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth with what Max said. I hope he doesn’t go into even riskier territories down the line because If they let him do that, who knows what he could say next?

2023-01-12 20:15:33 +0000 UTCGreat show and felt very polished. Only qualm was the main event: it felt rushed due to time constraints (9:48 PM ET at opening bell), which seems to happen on these big shows. There's too much to fit in. I beg the question: did we need the standard 8 minute MJF "The Poors & Small Privates" promo?

2023-01-12 19:46:45 +0000 UTCI’m glad some of these guys still get to produce matches. Dean Malenko absolutely NAILED that production of Mox-Page. Will say, Luther and the time management of the JAS could use some improvement, and the MJF promo absolutely felt like a classic Pat Buck segment.
