Mexican lucha promotion CMLL will debut its weekly TV show on Fight Network in Canada beginning May 5. That's great for both sides! Fight Network recently added ROH as well, so there are a number of alternatives to WWE easily available to Canadians.
Alberto Del Rio indicated the League of Nations will be ending soon. With Bray and Harper injured, they're not feuding with the Wyatts, so I guess there's not much else for them to do. I kind of want to see Del Rio team with Primo and Epico; it's not like they're going to get very far by themselves.
WWE will release a Canadian-exclusive DVD celebrating the best of their superstars next month. That's a pretty clever idea! They should do that in the UK as well.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
BJ Whitmer is believed to have gotten a bad concussion during his match in San Antonio. He's being held out of the ring pending being evaluated by doctors this week. BJ's one of the top talkers/characters in ROH.
The minds behind Camp WWE put up a behind-the-scenes video. It looks pretty funny in a warped way. It should be interesting either way.
- Seth Green promoted the series in a talk with USA Today.
WWE's November tour in Europe will go through Germany and Austria.
WWE has released new T-shirts for Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe, and Sami Zayn. That's quite the lineup.
Chyna's official cause of death remains under investigation, after the coroner delayed ruling on the matter.
John Cena announced he'll return on the Memorial Day Raw, nearly halving his expected recovery time. So, no, Cena doesn't even sell a torn rotator cuff.
WWE has named a vice president and general manager for Greater China. WWE wants that to be a major market in the future, and this is in line with that.
EVOLVE will have another tryout/seminar on the weekend of June 10 and 11, meaning more potential future EVOLVE superstars who will be potential future WWE superstars.
Kalisto vs. Ryback for the United States Championship is set for the Kickoff show for Payback. It'd be fitting if they have a gimmick match on the Kickoff show for Extreme Rules to end the feud.
House of Hardcore will have two shows in Texas in early August. They're growing pretty quickly.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I think fans would be more likely to cheer the former NJPW teammates. WWE and Roman have an uphill battle getting fans to cheer him in that or any scenario.
1. I think fans would be more likely to cheer the former NJPW teammates. WWE and Roman have an uphill battle getting fans to cheer him in that or any scenario.
2. I also think it's a matter of TNA getting access to a lot of money, and having people who know how to use that money in a way that will grow the company's business. Unless someone's feeling really charitable, I don't see a lot of money falling into their laps without strings attached. Hopefully anyone coming in to change things knows the right moves to make to start the stalled engine that is TNA. I agree they still have some really good wrestlers and storylines, but that only means so much if the show isn't promoted well and has an uphill battle against the negative perception the company's gained.
3. I'm sure ROH would love to be on the air there. It'd definitely be a big gain for them to get a foothold in that market. If Challenge wants them and thinks they'll bring in good ratings, it could very well happen.
4. I don't own much wrestling memorabilia at all. I don't have the room!
5. I imagine they take care of all that before going out to call the show, then don't take in a lot of liquids when they're in the booth. It would be a nightmare to have to hold it that long.
More wrestling tomorrow.
