Richard Holliday returned to MLW at One-Shot last week and challenged Alex Kane to a World Title match.
MLW has announced that the title match between Kane and Holliday will take place at Kings of Colosseum on January 6 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA.
On a recent edition of the “Talk is Jericho” podcast, Impact Wrestling star Frankie Kazarian explained why he left AEW at the end of last year, noting that he wanted more “meaningful” matches.
Kazarian said, “I had some great moments… but the matches for me had less and less meaning to them [over time]. All I wanted was the opportunity to have meaningful matches… it was just matches for the sake of matches. I’m realistic, I know I have more years behind me than I do in front of me, and with the time I have in front of me, I want to maximize that and give my best version. I don’t feel like I was given the opportunity to display that. Early on, TK would call me and ask for ideas … as he got busier and busier, for me at least, he became more difficult to contact. He was not an easy guy to talk to in terms of getting a hold of him, so I always dealt with Megha. They called me at the end of 2022 as a courtesy to say they were gonna roll me over … I basically said I would like to not be rolled over and to please let me out of my contract. He understood, he said he respects me as a man, and respects me as a wrestler, and he wished this wasn’t the case, but he wanted to right by me.”
Ethan Page lost to Kenny Omega this past Saturday on AEW Collision but he is not letting the setback keep him down.
Taking to Twitter, Page addressed his loss and his upcoming “I Quit” match with Tony Nese at ROH Final Battle 2023. He said,
“I don’t know, dude. I don’t know what to think. I don’t know what to do next. I gave everything I had. I didn’t expect to go into the match with bruised ribs. I didn’t expect to get the wind knocked out of me on a powerbomb in the middle of the ring. I also didn’t expect to get V-Triggered in the face, what, five, six times. I just know I gave it my best, man. I tried my absolute best. That’s all I can do. I had an opportunity tonight, just like I had an opportunity that Tony Nese took away from me to go after the Ring of Honor TV Title. So yeah, I definitely could have won a title for my daughter if Tony Nese didn’t take it away from me. That brings me to tonight. I can’t focus on the loss. Because six days from now, I have an I Quit Match. Six days from now, I have an I Quit Match at Final Battle, and I just got my ass kicked in my home country by one of the best wrestlers in the world. And I can’t think about that, I can’t focus on that. I can’t put my energy into this loss. I got Tony Nese at Final Battle. Tonight, I lost because my shoulders were pinned to the mat, not because I gave up. Not because I didn’t have enough in the tank, not because I didn’t have enough willpower, not because I’m not good enough. It’s three seconds. Three seconds over and over has changed the course of my entire career. But not on December 15. Not at Final Battle. No, it’s not three seconds. It’s not me tapping out. It’s not count-outs, it’s not disqualification. The decision to lose is in my hands. The only person that has to quit is me. I have to say ‘I quit,’ and I won’t. I refuse. I will not. Those words will not come out of my mouth.”
