Holy shit, that was a bad promo from Liv. I was wondering why WWE wasn't pushing her more if only because she could be a Alexia Bliss clone, but now I understand.

Gerald Brisco got released- thought he'd be a lifer there.

He's 73, so he probably just took a contract buyout and early retirement. Or at least that's what I'd do if I was him.

e:
Quote
In an update, Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that Brisco was actually furloughed and not released altogether, as many Producers were back on April 15.

Brisco had been mainly scouting amateur wrestling events for the past several years, responsible for giving a look to guys such as Brock Lesnar, Jason Jordan, Chad Gable, among others. It was noted that there are currently no amateur wrestling tournaments going on right now due to the coronavirus pandemic, but Brisco could be brought back in the future because he was just furloughed.

With Cain, I bet it's more like "released" because I doubt they're going to pass up the chance to use him again in some form later on.

Quote
Dutch Mantell (or Zeb Colter as he was known in WWE) tweeted to say he's heard 'directly out of Stamford' that McMahon is negotiating to sell the company to ESPN and FOX.

"HUGE NEWS: Overheard directly out of WWE Stamford is that a deal is being negotiated to sell WWE and the network to ESPN and FOX by as early as mid-May," he wrote.

Can't see Vince doing this.

also in tna news:
Quote
During PW Insider Elite audio, Mike Johnson noted something very interesting about the TNA name.

It’s not going away because people know the TNA name and they tuned in for it in a big way. Sure the Twitterati associate the TNA name with the bad, but in reality pre-2009, TNA did a lot of good and innovative stuff and had a very loyal and hardcore following.

Impact Wrestling’s TNA event at WrestleCon was cancelled, but they aired a special on AXS TV. Those numbers were very good and the network went to Impact Wrestling to suggest that they keep using the throwback name.

“We are told the [TNA] special did way, way, way better than anybody ever hoped and AXS TV reached out to Impact Wrestling and said, ‘hey let’s do more TNA stuff there is still some value there.’ They are looking at integrating TNA back onto AXS TV in some fashion.”

It was noted that TNA will begin to integrate into Impact Wrestling programming. This will culminate into TNA becoming a much larger part in Impact Wrestling. We will have to see how far the takeover goes and if it results in a second show of sorts.

It was also noted that this is an “experiment.” It was made clear that Moose is a self-proclaimed TNA World Champion and Tessa Blanchard is the official Impact Champion. Its going to be like when Ric Flair showed up in the WWF with the WCW belt but with more possibilities.

It's like when Ric Flair showed up in WWE but in a promotion no one is watching and also it's not a rival promotion's title so really it's more like raw vs smackdown or the cena/punk thing maybe or like when Mick Foley found a beat up title in the trash and became hardcore champion. :thinking

All sporting events have been cancelled or are taking place without fans since the lockdown was imposed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. However, Florida is ready to welcome back fans at events by next week. Governor Ron DeSantis announced the guidelines for reopening the state today, which allows arenas to have a limited number of fans:

“Large spectator sporting events should use strict social distancing guidelines and limit occupancy of venues to 25 percent of building capacity.”

Events could start having fans as soon as Monday, May 4th. If WWE and AEW choose to, they can hold events with fans starting next week.

wonder if either company will bring in fans at this point?

yeah the pr blowback doesn't seem worth whatever little amount 25% of the attendance at full sail or the PC could bring in.

so as it turns out sport events actually aren't allowed to have fans attend yet and the dirtsheets got it wrong (who could have expected that?). i guess desantis isn't quite full florida man status.

I get that WWE had requirements to hold Raw, NXT, and Smackdown and Wrestlemania, but what requirement do they have to hold monthly PPVs when most people get it though the WWE app. Is it overseas commitments that WWE doesn't want to mess up?

he's on not on the main page cause its all show recaps and he's not on the show. click into anything and he's right there though, ex: https://www.wwe.com/superstars

plus hes in the mitb matches they are uploading on youtube and has a special on FS1. :lol sounds like they are definitely cutting him out of the picture to me :lol

Now the dirt sheets are saying that the mystery hacker is CM Punk, because he used the line "the truth will be heard"...in a tweet.

https://mobile.twitter.com/WWEonFOX/status/1257881931380854786

Yes, I'm sure Punk and WWE came to an agreement and his big return is over the Otis/Ziggler/Mandy/Sonja storyline.  :doge

the reddit consensus on it seems to be that it sucks but aew had no choice but to run shows due to tv contracts. this is much different from wwe, who are evil and careless to do shows due to tv contracts.

the bigger question is why are ufc and aew sharing a hotel? here there are capacity limits on hotels...and even if there wasn't there has to be more the one big hotel in jaxsonville.
