Anthem head on Hardys issues, top UK promotion stopping weekly show, new pro wrestling hall of famers, WWE scouting internationally, Backlund profiled, all access at the WWEPC, Gallows promotion closes, Smackdown to Mexico, big ROH tour in the UK, Bagwell/Raven lawsuit amended, Backlash rematches set, Extreme Rules match update, Smackdown live event note, and Questions on Roman as a heel, Orton burying the indie style, Demon Balor, and the physical WWE titles

Ed Nordholm discussed Anthem's issues with the Hardys:
- Legally, Impact could very well be in the right since the characters were done on their programming.

- Interesting. There have been reports WWE is trying to get the Broken stuff for merch purposes. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Hardys are using the wrestling media to work the situation in their favor.

- This is all pretty odd. Are the Hardys just messing with us to get more attention despite not wanting to do anything else Broken??

- There've also been reports of ROH no longer wanting to work with Impact because of the Hardys situations. So, who knows anymore? It's the post-fact era after all.

-- Matt Hardy and Reby Hardy (Tweet 1 Tweet 2) responded to the interview. I'm pretty much ready for it to be legally settled so everyone involved can move on, Broken Universe or no.

-- Allegedly, the Hardys and Impact have lawyers that are privately discussing the rights to the property. It's possible Nordholm is really out of the loop about the whole deal, which doesn't really paint a good picture about how this is going.

WhatCulture Pro Wrestling has canceled its weekly show due to YouTube classifying wrestling as not being advertiser friendly. Shows set for June 9, June 16, June 23, June 30, July 14, July 28, August 4, August 11, and August 18 have all been pulled. Wrestling videos now earn pennies on the dollar from what they made before the change. That's going to really mean a big change for WCPW and other promotions. It's unknown how WWE will be affected, but plenty of other outlets will definitely take a big hit in revenue and will now have to refigure their plans.

The Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame inducted Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Tatsumi Fujinami, the team of Harley Race and Larry "The Axe" Hennig, Susan Green, and George Napolitano. That's great for all involved.

William Regal and Canyon Ceman were scouting for WWE prospects in Japan. Regal attended shows by AJPW and NJPW. So, some top names there could be on the radar for NXT once their deals end.

Bob Backlund was profiled in Miami. He's one of a kind.

The WWEPC will have an all-access event on July 24. Remember the facility is there to train people first and foremost, so they don't do many tours.

Luke Gallows' wrestling promotion has been shut down for "legal reasons." I'm guessing WWE didn't like the idea of one of their guys owning a separate promotion. Legends deals are different, but standard talent contracts probably have something in them to that effect.

Smackdown will tour Mexico from December 1 to December 3. I'm curious if they'll book Andrade Almas for those events. They should! He was a big deal there.

ROH will hold a War of the Worlds tour in the UK alongside NJPW, CMLL, and Revolution Pro from August 17 through August 20. That's very big for them! A key for ROH to be a big deal in 2017 will be its relationships with bigger international promotions. I'm guessing this is part of why Field of Honor isn't happening this year. This is a pretty big deal in its own right, so I think it makes up for that event not happening.

Buff Bagwell and Raven have amended their lawsuit against WWE, alleging breach of contract due to unpaid royalties from the WWE Network. The class-action lawsuit seeks in the area of $5 million. It's entirely possible they're legally in the right with their claims.

Set for the June 13 Smackdown taping in the home of Wrestlemania 34:
- Jinder Mahal vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship
- Kevin Owens vs. AJ Styles for the United States Championship
- Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Dolph Ziggler
-- As always, plans can change and at least one of those matches could end up being a dark match after the show. All three matches will be important if they do take place.

Neville vs. Austin Aries at Extreme Rules has been announced as a submission match. That should be good; the stipulation adds something new and interesting to things.

Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns and Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt vs. Samoa Joe are set for Monday's Raw. Both matches should be really good.

James Ellsworth replaces Tamina in a six-person rematch from Backlash at a Smackdown live event. Tamina wasn't on the show. Sounds like fun.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Roman is simultaneously one of the biggest faces to one fan base and one of the biggest heels to another fan base. They play off how he'll be received by certain audiences.

2. It was amazing. There's a big difference between "what gets over" with the Twitter/dirtsheet fan base vs. being a top WWE star. It popped a lot of people's bubbles to be reminded of that.

3. I think they can do something extra special for the demon entrance. They usually add more build to it.

4. Hahaha good luck getting the belt from Brock on short notice. It's not like he carries his phone 24/7 waiting for word from Vince. He might have it in his travel bag or something.

5. Pretty much that.

More wrestling tomorrow.
