-- Main Event:
- Lince/Gran vs. Gallagher/Kendrick:
I like this early submission work.
This is pretty solid.
I like how these two sides interact.
I have missed Kendrick SO MUCH!
Nice teamwork from the luchadores.
That was pretty cool.
- Breezango vs. Revival:
It's great to see Breeze and Dango actually wrestle again.
Good start.
Nice sunset flip spot.
This is good so far.
I'm liking the smooth action.
They're getting pretty good time for this one.
I LOVED that uppercut spot.
Wow! That was really solid!
Pentagon Jr. is giving away a mask for LuchaCentral.com. That's pretty cool. I hope Impact World Champion isn't the highest accolade he achieves in the business.
"Table for 3" with Kurt Angle, Shane McMahon, and AJ Styles will air after Raw. I hope we see Angle vs. AJ in WWE at some point.
Mickie James and the Corporate Stooges are getting WWE Network collections Monday. Somewhat surprisingly, there's no "vintage" footage of Patterson and Brisco before their Attitude Era roles. I did really enjoy those two, although I don't know if the material holds up.
The first three War of the Worlds events will air on Honorclub. The final event will be a TV taping.
More War of the Worlds matches have been announced:
- The Briscoes vs. Tetsuya Naito and BUSHI for the ROH Tag Team Championship on May 12 in Michigan
- The Briscoes vs. Roppongi 3K for the ROH Tag Team Championship on May 13 in Illinois
- Jonathan Gresham vs. Flip Gordon on May 13 in Illinois
- Coast 2 Coast vs. TK O'Ryan and Vinny Marseglia on May 9 in Massachusetts
Titus O'Neil's GRR fall was featured on ESPN's Not Top Ten. He's getting more press than anyone else on the card!
Warner Bros. will distribute WWE's DVDs in Canada, as they do in the United States.
Ronda Rousey's "Why We Fight" has been nominated for an Emmy. She will also be part of the next Shark Week. She's going places!
Tampa, Florida has put in a bid to host Wrestlemania 39, 40, or 41, as well as a future Royal Rumble. Florida has a number of suitable host cities for shows of that size.
Hulk Hogan gave a radio interview in Philadelphia where the host indicated Hogan and WWE are close to a deal for Hulk to return. The company responded favorably to Hogan's Boys and Girls Club appearance.
A WWE-centric episode of "Undercover Boss" is set to air in June or July. Enzo Amore's appearance has been edited out. I look forward to seeing how it plays out.
Boxer Joe Frazier's son is training under Heath Slater. That could be pretty interesting!
Kane's county's election website was hacked, but no votes were affected. He's expected to go on to become mayor.
Christopher Dijak is teaming with Brennan Williams on NXT's Florida live events. The duo have lost to TM-61 and the Forgotten Sons of Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake at recent shows.
Triple H discussed WWE:UK's progress. That could become something major for the company soon, and could eventually lead to more international brands.
For my take on the first set of yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. ROH can definitely draw more than can fit into the Hammerstein Ballroom. They'll book a venue accordingly.
2. The official tour featured Flair defending against, in order, Road Warrior Hawk, Dusty Rhodes, Nikita Koloff, Ricky Morton, Road Warrior Animal, Ricky Morton (2nd time), Dusty Rhodes (2nd time), Wahoo McDaniel, Robert Gibson, Ron Garvin, Magnum TA, Dusty Rhodes (3rd time, where Dusty became champion), and a 4th match with Dusty with Dusty retaining. There were other matches in other territories that weren't officially branded as part of the tour.
3. Hayes had the "misfortune" of the Freebirds being so over as a unit that he never really got to branch out. I think he still turned out doing well.
Nothing to add to 4. I've never heard of such a library existing.
5. The WWE Network exclusive brand being on the WWE Network exclusive Kickoff show makes sense.
For my take on the second set of yesterday's PWinsider.com questions:
1. We're long enough out from those shows that it's too early to call Cena's status. Certainly he'll appear if he's available and WWE is seeking the star power boost.
2. I doubt it. He's moved on to being a trainer in Minnesota. I don't think either side wants to see him return; he's likely much happier doing what he does now.
3. He's more valuable to ROH, where he can shape the future of that company and its stars on-screen and in a backstage capacity. Ditto to a degree with Kazarian.
4. They're making the most of Bryan, especially as his current deal still expires in September.
Nothing to add to 5.
More wrestling tomorrow.
