Is Dragon Gate still as popular as it was when they were doing the U.K. tours etc? I can’t remember the last time I heard anything about them, I figured they’d gone a similar way to NOAH

Dragon Gate is the second biggest promotion in Japan, but the gap is a big one. It's not the gulf between WWE and literally every other company in the West, but they aren't knocking on New Japan's door any time soon. Nobody is.

I hope he sorts a boat out like Jericho, but just brings back the tuxedo princess, Newcastles out of action, revolving dance floor party boat and sails up and down the Tyne for a couple of weeks.

In seriousness, there’s at least one N.E promotion wanting him for one match. Let’s hope he does a mini U.K. spree before fucking off to NJPW. Which is clearly the absolute best place for him for the next year or so, until he turns up at TakeOver 15.

Wouldn't surprise me if Defiant Wrestling some how manage to sign Neville for at least one match. Being from Newcastle myself and knowing people involved in the wrestling scene up here and knew Neville (as I do/did myself having refereed up this way for a long time and many matches involving Pac/Neville) I hear here is living up here at the minute and with Defiant being a Newcastle based promotion (although they do tour a lot) and they regularly use Osperay on there shows it wouldn't surprise me with the money they have behind them they couldn't make it happen.

Defiant did tweet Neville a few days back with a simple 'Hello Neville' are they teasing something? I mean they are not shy about bringing in big money names ie Angle, Bret Hart, Bischoff, Mysterio etc

New Japan are crowning a new Jr Heavyweight Champion on October 8th, at King of Pro Wrestling, their biggest show since the G1 Climax tournament finished. If Neville is debuting, it has to be then.

Dragon Gate isn't what it was even 2 years ago, despite now having a streaming service, and I can't see them being in the running at this point.

He’d fit in well with Defiants current show. We ran the after party for the Ring Masters tournament and I must say, I was impressed by the overall show, the quality and the general feel. Thing is, they aren’t true Newcastle and are a touring promotion, fair play.

However, North Wrestling on the other hand is the best promotion up here at the moment for consistency, general growth, overall vibe and value for money. Some fucking brilliant wrestling. Always a sell out and always a huge amount of fun. 

If, and a big if, he plans to do a ‘home’ show for the craic before going on his travels, I seriously hope he gives them the rub. It’s exactly what it would be and they thoroughly deserve it.

I could 100% see him walking out after the new champion is crowned to challenge the winner to a match at WK.
