WOR: WWE ratings, NXT on USA, Hall of Fame, weekend shows

Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself, guest co-host Garrett Gonzales, is back.

We begin looking at all of the shows this weekend from Bloodsport 2 on Saturday to all of the boxing to WWE’s Clash of Champions and the AAA show from the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden on Sunday. We talk about the WWE ratings and when the bottom may hit for Raw. We also wonder about the buzz for Wednesday’s NXT on USA show.

We also discuss the Anthem purchase of AXS, candidates for the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame, New Japan Pro Wrestling running on the west coast again, and of course, we couldn’t leave out a little BH90210 talk now that the season is over.
