Phil Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that “while not confirming he’ll be at Slammiversary, EC3 did post that he would be wrestling on 7/18. He’s widely expected to return here on that date.” It appears that EC3 could feud with Moose should he sign with the promotion as Impact had played the theme song of the former TNA star after a match involving Moose on a recent episode of Impact. https://wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/former-wwe-star-very-likely-headed-to-impact-wrestling/ -- They've also reportedly locked up the Good Brothers (Gallows and Anderson).

Sharpshooter Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 EC3 and Heath Slater both made appearances on the last Impact. I'm glad EC3 is back there after WWE did him dirty (again!). Hopefully Heath can become more than just a jobber, he definitely has a lot more to offer. Watching wrestling without fans really sucks, though, as I'm sure it sucks for them having to wrestle in front of no fans. Hopefully next year!

Sharpshooter Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I haven't watched Impact in a long time. I might have to start again. They brought in Deonna Purrazzo for their already stacked women's division, so I'm happy about that. I still can't believe the rumors of WWE being interested in Tessa Blanchard, though. They are usually pretty staunch about bringing in overly outspoken people. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Blanchard is rumored to have demanded $150,000 from Impact just to return their championship belt. She's fuckin' crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And WWE wants to touch that? I doubt it very much, I don't care how many female wrestlers they've lost, or will lose.B-A-G-G-A-G-E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Impact has done great work lately in reinventing themselves in the wake of having to literally cut Blanchard and Elgin out of their program just weeks before Slammiversary. If you get a chance, check out last night's episode. It's still odd — as are all the companys at the moment — due to the lack of a crowd, but there's energy and buzz there. Edwards cut a great promo that nailed the central point — they've achieved stability. They own their network. They simulcast on Twitch. They have a world champion who is under contract. The only champion not under contract is Purazzo, but she's said to be so easy to work with, and so trustworthy, that they're willing to take the risk (while they hammer a deal out).

Sharpshooter Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 WWE definitely did Deonna dirty, too, so good for her there. I'm also glad to see Eric Young back as well. I'm glad they are much more stable. The last few years have not been great, and I just stopped watching. So, if they are headed in the right direction, that's great. There was a time where I enjoyed Impact more than any WWE programming. Right now, WWE is solidly in third place now, it's pretty crazy. I haven't checked out NWA, so I can't comment on them.

Phil Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 I wouldn't know. I legitimately stopped watching or caring about anything happening at WWE years ago. I'm just glad Impact was able to pick up great workers and needle-movers like The Good Brothers. AEW and Impact are the only companies that matter (to me). NWA is probably going to fold, and ROH is on the brink of death, too. They're certainly dead relative to their industry impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also glad that The Revival was able to get out of there too and head to AEW. Yet more top tier talent unbelievably (but not surprisingly) wasted by WWE.

Lord Al Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Joseph Laurinaitis better known as Road Warrior Animal. He was 60-years-old. His cause of death is unknown at this time. https://www.tmz.com/2020/09/23/wwe-legend-joseph-laurinitis-dead-at-60-road-warrior-animal/ WWE icon Joseph Laurinaitis, AKA Road Warrior Animal, died Tuesday night of natural causes ... TMZ Sports has confirmed. He was 60 years old. Law enforcement tells us, the wrestling legend -- who was one half of the famous Road Warriors tag team -- passed away at Tan-Tar-A Resort in Osage Beach, MO. We're told cops received a call at around 11:49 PM from Laurinaitis' wife ... but when deputies arrived on scene -- emergency personnel had already declared the ex-wrestler deceased. Laurinaitis is considered one of the best in-ring performers of all-time -- he wrestled for most of his WWE career with Road Warrior Hawk and won multiple tag team championships as The Road Warriors/Legion of Doom.

Phil Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Yup. If you haven't seen it yet, I'd highly recommend watching the Dark Side of the Ring episode on them titled "The Last Ride of the Road Warriors." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Al Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Go to YouTube to the Hannibal TV and type in road warriors he’s got some classic interviews with the road warriors especially some stuff that Darkside of the ring did not want to include Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I remember awhile back reading that Bradley Cooper was going to be playing Vince McMahon in a biopic film. Is that ever going to happen? Obviously COVID had an affect on everything, but I don't see even see anything on his IMDB page about it ever starting pre-production. I am looking forward to the Hulk Hogan movie, though. Chris Hemsworth as The Hulkster I just have to see. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
