Stardom has canceled events until May 6. I hope they can get some momentum in their corner when they start being able to do shows again.
MLW has Best Of episodes airing on BeIn Sports each night. This is largely a move to fill space while new productions are shut down.
WrestleMania notes:
- Drew McIntyre spoke to TMZ Sports and ESPN.
- Peter Rosenberg discussed WrestleMania production with Booker T.
- FS1 Kickoff shows drew 106,000 on night one and 112,000 on night two. Honestly not amazing numbers.
- WrestleMania 35 on ESPN drew 421,000 viewers.
- WWE set records for content watched during WrestleMania Week.
- Charlotte Flair spoke to TVInsider.
Nia Jax's new finisher was passed to her by Paige. That would seem to further confirm Paige isn't expected to return to in-ring competition.
Chris Jericho will announce Dynamite with Tony Schiavone this week. Keep the mute button handy.
Joey Janela is spotlighted in a CZW compilation PPV.
Impact still intends to run Rebellion in some fashion. It could end up taking place on AXS as an empty arena show.
WWE has new Mastercard designs with Undertaker, Randy Savage, Becky Lynch, New Day, AJ Styles, and the WWE Championship. Pretty cool.
WWE will tape three weeks of events at the WWE Performance Center and Full Sail University on April 9.
OWE will air on FITE live three times a week from Cambodia, starting with a broadcast the morning of April 8. WOW. That's a lot of content being produced very quickly.
Impact is taping two months of content this week in Tennessee. So they're also going to be doing empty arena shows to keep things going for their weekly show. I'm glad they're able to continue airing fresh matches.
The Undertaker's Last Ride series was filmed from WrestleMania 33 weekend through this past weekend. That's pretty extensive!
Tommaso Ciampa spoke before tonight's NXT.
Raw drew 2.10 million viewers this week. Even the night after WrestleMania is struggling to draw in this pandemic.
WWE will hold their Q1 2020 earnings report and conference call on April 23. Notably, the conference call will be held after stocks close for the day. I expect another tough day for the company.
Bully Ray is on WWE's most recent "The Bump." I fully think he'd return to the company if given the right offer.
NWA streamed Houston Wrestling content featuring Andre the Giant and Harley Race.
Impact Rebellion has added:
- Jordynne Grace vs. Taya Valkyrie in a Full Metal Mayhem match for the Knockouts Championship
- Ace Austin vs. Willie Mack
- Kylie Rae vs. Kiera Hogan
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I think people live in such echo chambers that when someone gives an opinion that isn't in that same fishbowl, it's seen as wildly out of line.
2 wasn't quite a wrestling question.
3. Basically it's generally older audiences not comfortable with new technologies or people without access to high-speed internet or who don't want to/can't pay for that.
4. WWE is exploring other options given the lackluster performance of the Network.
5. They could in theory, but I don't see it being something they go for. It just doesn't seem like a Vince McMahon move.
More wrestling tomorrow.
