WWE Day Of Summerslam 2020 will air September 13.
Matt Hardy was released from the hospital after a number of scans. Tony Khan reported he did not have a concussion, though Reby tweeted that he did. I hope lessons were learned here about wrestler safety.
- Matt will be on Dynamite.
UK's Showcase TV is no longer airing Impact or ROH. That's unfortunate for them.
Matt Tremont has announced retiring on October 30 following a final tour of matches. Tremont has been champion for CZW and GCW.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. They also increased the number of tapings, toured the product a lot more, and had live episodes, on top of increased advertising. They spent a hefty sum trying to make the company a major player in a short amount of time.
2. Long story short, I'm sure it's a very complex and costly endeavor on top of having to police what fans are wearing and doing. I really, REALLY don't see them doing it voluntarily.
3. With such a low number of fans paying for tickets, I don't think there's any justification for anyone using Brock right now.
4. No. I think it would be viewed as a desperate move that alienates the existing fans rather than a way for them to turn the corner and be as big as Raw or Smackdown. With the money they would spend on Brock, I would think it would be much more difficult to invest in other important talents.
5. Cathy wanted to pursue other endeavors. Renee was a combination of that and the pandemic. Mauro is prioritizing his family's health and wants a different schedule. So maybe WWE could have been more flexible, but I think some of this was going to be inevitable. It wouldn't shock me to see others branch out more, too, as I don't know who in the current group sees wrestling as a long-term career option.
More wrestling tomorrow.
