EC3 Is Interested In An NWA/Impact Wrestling Collaboration, More News

Pro Wrestling NOAH has announced the updated lineup for the ‘The New Year 2024’ event, which takes place on January 2nd:

* GHC Heavyweight Championship Match: Kenoh vs. Manabu Soya
* Wrestling Symphony: Zack Sabre Jr. & Yoshinari Ogawa vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi & HAYATA
* GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship Match: Daga vs. Eita
* GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship Match: Dragon Bane & Alpha Wolf vs. Tadasuke & YO-HEY vs. Ninja Mack & Alejandro

EC3 would like to see the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and Impact Wrestling form a working relationship if it benefits both sides.

Speaking on a recent edition of the “MuscleManMalcolm” podcast, the reigning NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion commented on the possibility of the two companies working together. He said,

“As long as I don’t have to wrestle Moose again. I’m kidding. [Moose is one of] my good buddies, but he hits really, really hard. But I believe in collaborations in all forms of this business. I think it needs to be done in a way too, it’s like your businesses that are in theory competitive, that it has to work for both. How does that work? Sometimes you’re gonna miss out on potential things you really want to see. Like hypothetically if it was champion versus champion, how does one company sacrifice their champion because that’s making the other company look superior, and vice versa. How do you deliver a satisfying finish to fans without having some horsesh*t DQ or nonsensical kind of, everything remains 50/50.”

He continued, “So I think that’s the one hill to climb when it comes to that kind of business. But then also, sometimes art is more important, creative is important, when people are willing to sacrifice for it. So it would all depend I guess on the business end.”

And finally, Shane Taylor took to Twitter to reveal his goals in Ring of Honor. He wrote,

“I’ve got different goals…

#1. Show @theleemoriarty why he’s BEST TECHNICAL WRESTLER ON THE PLANET & Future PURE champion

#2. Take back my Television Championship

#3. See Eddie Kingston about that World Title

4. Have #STP reclaim it’s throne over ROH AND @AEW

5. Expand…”
