- The premiere episode of Lucha Underground on the El Rey Network drew 8,000 viewers in the 18-49 demo, according to James Caldwell of PWTorch. That was good enough to make it #2 on the network in that demo for the week. Please note that the number is just for the 18-49 demo, and also doesn't include the Saturday airing of the show on Unimas.

- The Associated Press has an article about Mick Foley's new I Am Santa Claus documentary at this link. In the article, Foley noted that dressing up as Santa Claus beats transforming into Mankind.

"You get the chance to be a better someone than you actually are," Foley said.

- There will be an nWo reunion at Nuke the Fridge Con on Saturday, November 15th inside Frank and Son at 19649 San Jose Ave, City of Industry, CA. Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, X-Pac and Eric Bischoff will be appearing at the event for autographs and photo ops. There will be group photo ops and individual autographs, and you can purchase a deluxe package for $125. You can get more details here.

- King Mo (13-4) will take on Joe Vedepo (4-2) at the upcoming Bellator event on November 15 from San Diego's Valley View Casino Center. Vedepo will be replacing Tom DeBlass, who was forced to withdraw from the fight after suffering a major cut in training.

"This is just an absolutely blessing," Vedepo said. "When I got the phone call to fight on November 15, I didn't even need to hear who the opponent was, I was all in. Mo's tough as hell, he's one of the best wrestlers in the sport, but I haven't stopped training in months and I know this is a chance of a lifetime. I always thrive on coming into the fight as an underdog, and while I have all the respect in the world for a guy like King Mo, underestimating what I bring to the cage would be a huge mistake."
