Update from SRS:

2 month suspension, Tony was not pleased at what he said, but was not involved/had no input in the decision re: suspension.

    I didn’t hear them as I was listening to the Japanese commentary but apparently Chris went into business for himself a bit, seemingly during the Kidd/Omega match. Rocky even on screen kinda gave him a clue to calm down apparently.

    Might have worked himself into a shoot trying to do the ‘defend NJPW as a commentator’ angle but either way…

      I’m watching New Years Dash right now, and at least two wrestlers have approached commentary and asked Walker why he was alone, and Walker’s just like “best not say too much about that!”

      CC leaned a bit too far into the “big-money TK stealing our toys” mindset during Dynasty, and was making snippy comments in an us-vs-them fashion for most of the night. He apologized for getting too heated after the main event, so he must’ve got an earful at some point in the show. I don’t remember any specific examples of him going too far, but he was very much team NJPW throughout his call.
