WON: Ratings for the 10/7 Issue (NXT Debut, AEW 5-Year Show, CMLL Noche de Campeones, and NO NJPW DESTRUCTION)

Gabe Kidd: "You wanna talk about a real Forbidden Door. Wrestle Kingdom 19, I want Randy Orton one-on-one. He had a bit of beef with Ospreay back in the day, he didn't do shit about it. I'm the legend killer now. I would fuck up Randy Orton."

Clark Connors on Hiroshi Tanahashi becoming President: "That guy's like Jesus. He walks on water, he can get shit done. I think he's going to make New Japan a better company."

Lee Moriarty: "Stokely Hathaway helped me with finding a new level of confidence within myself. He has a mind for wrestling that can take the sport to another level."

Miu Watanabe: "Claudio Castagnoli has the better Giant Swing! My Giant Swing has yet to be delivered to the world, so I want to work hard so that I can deliver it to the world like Claudio! Also, I keep thinking that one day I’d like to watch the world’s best Giant Swing [Claudio's] live!"

Jeff Cobb: "We can have Samoan Joseph against Hawaiian Jeffrey, it’s totally fine by me. I’m always down to get punched in the face as long as I’m gonna be doing some of the punching as well. I think it would be fun to get in the ring and mix it up with a shoot tough guy."

El Phantasmo: "I don't publicly talk about it a lot, but my deal's up January 31st. I'm gonna wait until after Wrestle Kingdom to start thinking about what's best for my future."

Jon Moxley: "I put a lot of heart and soul and hard work into that IWGP United States Championship, and I do not take kindly to David Finlay smashing it with a big stupid Mario Kart hammer. The gall it took for Finlay to do what he did, I kind of admire it, but it really does piss me off."

Lee Moriarty: "If I had to pick someone to enlist for Shane Taylor Promotions, I think Aja Kong would be a great choice. A hard hitting legend who’s appeared in AEW before. I would also say Takumi Iroha would be amazing to see in ROH and AEW at some point."

One year ago today the first IWGP Women's Champion was crowned. Whilst the title matches have been undeniably great, in the year since its inception the vision for the title of breaking established barriers has become blurred, surrounded by confusion with the introduction of the STRONG Women's title

Gabe Kidd: "How did the original Bullet Club form? Four foreigners who were pissed off by the way they were being treated by this fucking company. Look at what happened there. It’s the years and years and years of being held back by the company, that’s exactly where my issue lies."

Clark Connors: "David Finlay’s Bullet Club is a return to the origins of what made Bullet Club great in the first place. We aren’t going to tone it down and be nice so people won’t feel uncomfortable. They get to see the real us."

Jeff Cobb: "We can have Samoan Joseph against Hawaiian Jeffrey, it’s totally fine by me. I’m always down to get punched in the face as long as I’m gonna be doing some of the punching as well. I think it would be fun to get in the ring and mix it up with a shoot tough guy."

Tetsuya Naito did not make the PWI500 list

Jon Moxley: "If Terry Funk’s not the greatest of all time, who the fuck is? He was the real thing. He’d cut an intense promo dripping with authenticity and then go work a killer match. You can’t tell me Terry Funk isn’t the fucking greatest of them all."

DDT's MAO: "My main goal is to become famous. When I do, everyone in DDT will be known by the fans as well. Right now, many people’s perception of DDT is ‘the promotion Takeshita’s from’ or ‘the promotion that Ibushi and Omega are from.’ I want to be just like that."

Chie Koishikawa on who she wants in ChocoPro: "Andreza Giant Panda! I had the chance to see him a couple days back, and my God he is big! I don’t know if he can even fit into Ichigaya Chocolate Square though, and even if he did, I don’t know if I will be able to work a match with him."

El Desperado: "Dave Meltzer wrote something like ‘Desperado is a freelancer so he can take all these outside bookings’, which was absolute BS."

STARDOM's Maika: "I wouldn’t be who I am right now if Himeka wasn’t with me along the way. But I knew that I had to accept the fact that we were going to part ways. I feel like it was a very pure feeling between us. I feel like that was a match that both of us had no regrets about having."

Kyle Fletcher: "We were pretty happy in Japan, but not to say too much, we wanted a contract. We wanted stability. We've never had stability and that's what we wanted. We told New Japan this and it was very much a 'yes, but not now' type thing."

3 years ago today, EVIL beat Kazuchika Okada to win the New Japan Cup and then betrayed LIJ by joining Bullet Club

Shota Umino: "There were a lot of people asking me if I was part of Blackpool Combat Club, and the answer is that I’m not. I said it all in my backstage comments in Osaka, but me and Mox, it’s something that’s deeper than a babyface and heel fan opinion."
