AW's Rebel reveals ALS diagnosis.

And the latest on the rumored upcoming AW-July pay-per-view.

Hello everyone. I am Gareth. You are watching What Culture Wrestling on this glorious Saturday. And yes, I'm on my own again because Phil is still off gallivanting around America, living his best life with Hamfleut, which is fine. Let him go do the thing. It just means there's more wrestling news for us to talk about today. Just me and you, wherever you are in the world. And the first thing we need to dive into. So Biggie biggie. It's the one that I covered a lot of last week on my own, the releases that would be WV releases even. Yeah, some of the big ones, some of the bigger names, left a lot of people scratching their heads because like the likes of Alistair Black, Zillianna Vega, the Wyatt's, all these people that were such kind of high-profile parts of Smackdown for much of the year were just suddenly gone. It was like, well, why? Why is that happened? That doesn't make any sense. Well, we've got some information now as to why that possibly did happen, and it is in the Wrestling Observer newsletter, Dave Meltzer's added again, and he said, well, he's got into a few things with this,

because one of the stories that came out this week was that apparently someone in TKO didn't

like, like, like, darker, spooky characters. And well, well, Meltzer was told, well,

they were told, like the rest of an observer, that that was bold stuff that comes out of a bull,

and that these were not decisions that even reached that level

um so apparently a feeling was that they would be got all they were going to get out of the wires

and that that was just like that was it was the end of the road for them and um black and zelina

vega that decision was made uh again it felt like a similar thing.

It was like they got all they were going to get out of them.

And they just, yeah, they weren't going to be able to do anything more with them. And this is probably the most interesting part of the typical Dave Spiel. There's an awful lot to get through in the observer. He just rambles and rambles and rambles and rambles. The big thing was

He said the reality is that even though they recruited Black hard to get out of

AEW once he returned

they returned and rebels. The big thing was, he said, the reality is that even though they recruited Black hard to get

out of AEW, once he returned, they really didn't have much in the way of ideas for him.

Wow.

So I went through all that effort to bring the guy back.

And then it's just like, okay, do this for a little bit.

Yeah, okay, be a bit spooky with some people.
