If that video is legit, pretty scary. Passing out due to dehydration + his style isn't a good mix.

Hopefully he rests up and has a short break.

I wonder how much they invested in the entrance and gear.

Cos I’ve been buying a bunch of figs recently the YT algorithm was showing me Cardona’s vlog this week - that car happened to be sitting outside a store they recorded a podcast for, so maybe Cardona’s connections save $.

Can’t believe what a badass de lander has become!

He can drink some water and rest after next weekend.

Lol. I know you wanna see him dude. Just hope it's nothing more sinister than one of incident of dehydration.

There is nothing left for Drew Parker to accomplish and with that, he is choosing to wrap up his in-ring career.

maybe TJPW can offer him a commentating job, if he's staying in Japan?

I’m stunned that Gringo Loco is working this weekend. Presumably he escaped a neck injury & a concussion, which is wild having been there live.
