While not many people showed up at this the first weekly Dojo Wars that wasn’t part of the originally scheduled bi-weekly shows, that didn’t keep it from being jam packed. It featured seven intense matches, and may well have been the most intimate and entertaining night of Dojo Wars yet.

NXT wasn’t the only show in town this Wednesday. OK, so there were no title defenses, and there wasn’t anything as epic as Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch, and no massive swerves like the debut of Samoa Joe, but it was still a fun night of wrestling.

This past week was probably the biggest week in wrestling in Philadelphia history since WrestleMania 15. There was a CZW/WSU doubleheader, two Ring of Honor/New Japan Pro Wrestling shows, and two NXT shows. That’s a shit-ton a wrestling. In trying to get prepared for all of these shows, and get caught back up to what I missed while in Japan, I noticed something while doing my research. Sure, WWE has always kind of been at the forefront of reality TV, what with the Divas Searches, the original NXT, Legend’s House, and now the return of Tough Enough. But what I found was that a lot of wrestlers were involved in reality shows before they were ever on the WWE map. While I’m sure most people know that Chris Jericho and Stacy Keibler were on Dancing with the Stars, odds are you don’t know about the rest of these reality show appearances.
