WOL: Smackville, G1, UFC 240, ROH & Portland Wrestling

On this week’s Wrestling Observer Live Saturday Edition, I talk about the WWE Smackville special live from Nashville on the WWE Network tonight and the G1 Climax showdown between Kazuchika Okada and KENTA. Lance Archer doesn’t win every match — but he continues to impress. New Japan sells out the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City while ROH couldn’t. Is that an indicator that ROH needs a change in direction?

In addition, I discuss UFC 240 with Max Holloway vs. Frankie Edgar and Cris Cyborg vs. Felicia Spencer, the Raw Reunion, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Goldberg, Triple H, the Variety article on WWE, Dolph Ziggler, and much more.

Because I’m on the road in Portland, Oregon, I talk about some memories of the old Portland Sports Arena, stars of the past and answer a question about an infamous shoot that happened in the ring in front of fans.
