Pro Wrestling NOAH's Mitsuhara Misawa tribute show will be June 21 in an empty arena. Dragon Gate's Masaaki Mochizuki will be on the card.

Japan's Korakuen Hall is likely reopening June 15, with fans allowed to return July 9.

Game Changer Wrestling's June 20 event will have 50% capacity.

MLW's Opera Cup is tentatively scheduled for November.

ROH's Mark Haskins was fined $4,000 for Final Battle 2019, since he bled in violation of Maryland State Athletic Commission rules. Neither ROH nor his opponent were fined, weirdly enough. It's possible that if Bully Ray also bled in that match, things would have been different on that front.

Rey Horus revealed he was scouted for WWE's cruiserweight division at its relaunch but didn't join due to his Lucha Underground deal at the time.

AEW has booked through Fyter Fest, which airs live July 1 and taped July 8.

Chris Jericho is doing commentary on Dynamite Wednesday night. Great....

Hulk Hogan was banned from AEW from the outset due to his leaked comments years back, as Tony Khan feels he didn't adequately apologize for them. Khan and AEW are sticking to their principles as far as inclusiveness goes.

Rob Gronkowski was originally scheduled to work Summerslam and the next Saudi Arabian event, but his new NFL team has forced him to discontinue wrestling.

XFL paid WWE more than $2 million in the 90 days before bankruptcy for marketing and office work.

Smackdown's top producer is now John Laurinaitis.

WWE banning the turnbuckle powerbomb is due to the recent Nia Jax/Kairi Sane spot.

WWE has hired a new vice president and general manager for the Middle East and North Africa. He'll be a key figure in Saudi negotiations.

MVP could return as a producer once live events return.

France will feature WrestleMania 21 through WrestleMania 24 on Sundays in June. Chris Benoit's matches will not air as part of this. That's a pretty hardline stance, but an understandable one.

Eli Drake discussed leaving Impact on his NWA show.

MLW Anthology's next episode focuses on NJPW's Satoshi Kojima.

Danny Havoc was tributed at H20 Wrestling's June 5 event.

Jinder Mahal has had another knee surgery. It's unknown how long he'll miss this time. I hope he can have a consistent run when he's cleared.

Jeff Jarrett and Anthem's lawsuit was not thrown out by a judge despite Anthem's request to do so.

- The judge chastised both sides for not being concise in their arguments.

- Anthem has not been dropped as a defendant due to being based in Canada, as the judge noted they are listed as an LLC in Delaware.

- Anthem's ownership of the Jeff Jarrett trademark was brought into question, as WWE and Jarrett have used that trademark without Anthem objecting.

- The trial begins June 30. The judge is urging settlement.

Dark has announced:
- Jon Moxley vs. Robert Anthony in a non-title match
- Christopher Daniels vs. Sonny Kiss
- The Butcher & The Blade vs. Pineapple Pete and Anthony Catena
- Santana and Ortiz vs. Musa and Brady Pierce
- Frankie Karazian and Scorpio Sky vs. Low Rida and Fuego Del Sol
- Luchasaurus and Marko Stunt vs. Peter Avalon and Brandon Cutler
- QT Marshall vs. Zack Clayton
- Dark Order's 5 vs. Lee Johnson
-- AEW is really giving a lot of talent paydays and opportunities during the pandemic.

Christian will get a classic Edge & Christian action figure due to a fan poll.

NJPW and Stardom shows are expected to be announced as part of a June 9 press conference. It's possible they begin with empty arena shows.

Honorclub has added matches from 2006. It's interesting they're doing individual matches instead of complete shows, but I see why they want to focus on their best content.

Triple H got a "WWE Superstars react" video for his 25th anniversary.

Renee Young spoke to Alicia Atout.

Bobby Fulton has announced being cancer-free.

Dynamite's New York debut has been moved to November 11.

Canada's CWE is running June 12 in front of 100 fans.

Nick Aldis mentioned wanting to work with the former Curtis Axel in NWA.

Backlash has added Jeff Hardy vs. Sheamus.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I'm under the impression the two are connected, in the sense he wants to limit his potential exposure to COVID-19 because he doesn't want to pass it to them.

2. There's no specific timeline for inducting anyone. If/when WWE wants to induct those names, they will. And of course they can always just announce them as part of the Legacy wing.

Nothing to add to 3.

4. In no particular order: Madison Square Garden, the former ECW Arena, Hammerstein Ballroom, Korakuen Hall, and Arena Mexico.

5. I'm under the impression a good part of why it started was to get talents more experience and exposure. Once WWE really took off, they understandably wanted fans paying to see their talents on their own shows rather than other people's shows.

6. He made some appearance for Impact before COVID-19 and had a pretty decently regular indie schedule. I'm curious if he'll work Impact again when things open back up.

More wrestling tomorrow.
