According to WZ Radio regular Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet.com, former WWE NXT star Solomon Crowe, known on the indy scene as Sami Callihan, has signed a deal to appear on season three of Lucha Underground.

 

Multiple sources say Sami began negotiations to join the roster not long after appearing in a dark match during a season 2 taping, and he’s expected to debut at the Temple this weekend.

 

Callihan was released from WWE NXT last year.

Speaking of Lucha Underground, tonight's episode is Aztec Warfare 2 (and Rey Mysterio makes his debut)!

Welp, TNA's gone and ######ed up again.

Quote

It saddens me to announce that TNA have issued the withdrawal of EC3/Ethan Carter from our April 3rd PCW show. The other international talent booked being Ken Anderson, Jade, Eddie Kingston, Cedric Alexander are all still confirmed to appear.

 

WrestleMania weekend is the hardest time of the year to secure a replacement talent but I have worked hard to secure somebody and subject to him finding his passport we may have another guest from the USA.

 

I did reach out to TNA management but was told ''Unfortunately nothing can be done. This is a network commitment and something he had no control over''.

 

Considering TNA was publicly vocal about not being happy when AJ Styles pulled out of an agreed deal with them, it does seem double standards to me that the company would ask talent to back out of a deal that has been in place for many weeks. I have lost out financially having paid for an extensive promotional campaign with EC3 clearly front and centre promoting his appearance but most of all I feel for fans who have used their hard earned money and booked travel to see/meet EC3. We have gone above and beyond to try source a replacement in tough times for those fans but it is a shame that when asked for assistance TNA told us ''nothing can be done''.

 

I will in future be thinking twice about using TNA talent to avoid repeat scenarios as even WWE respect that when a date is agreed it is agreed and do not try to pull talent from it. I try give my fans more than value for money and will continue to do so but even though I do take full responsibility for the change in the lineup, you know I will always be honest with you all.

 

The show will still be amazing and tickets are available from www.prestoncitywrestling.com

They better not pull Drew Galloway from next month's PWA show; he's the main reason I'm going.

So wait, they had Shane and Undertaker fight (even for one move) on RAW before WM? Yeesh.

Yep, and for god only knows why, we got "treated" to two Authority promos, both of which ended in HHH and reigns brawling (and one of them ended the show).

Meh. I mean, I think I'd watch WM just for that match alone but come on WWE. They only did this because the WM is so weak compared to past years (which isn't their fault of course). But the Reigns thing boggles my mind. Is Vince really that blind, or that gleefully arrogant to let him win at WM when literally EVERYONE hates Reigns right now? Probably both.

Apparently, they expected Eva Marie to get a babyface reaction last night, so they (or at least Vince) are just completely delusional.

I had a weird idea about the HHH/Reigns fight- Let HHH win, then "retire" with the belt.  That way, tournament for the new top 2 contenders to battle for it at another PPV.  Or, Shane wins, strips HHH of the belt (HHH retains via DQ or something).  Then, something else to figure out who gets the belt.

But, this being WWE, that would NEVER happen. 

 

Thoughts?

They wouldn't do a HHH retiring with the belt story, that's to much even for them (maybe.....?!). Shane isn't going to win, and even if he does win, and HHH does win I doubt they would strip him of the belt. They would have to have a reason other than "I hate you, prick" lol Still, either of those options you came up with are still better than whatever dreck WWE will give us this weekend.

Yeah, I saw Meltzer say that. Assuming it's true, they really are just delusional. They were in Brooklyn, FFS! Brooklyn hosted an NXT TakeOver event last year that had one of the best matches of the year in Bayley vs. Sasha Banks (oh yeah, they were also chanting "We want Sasha!" throughout Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch on Raw last night); they have standards! What Meltzer also said was that they reckoned behind-the-scenes that all the booing Eva Marie got in NXT would stay in NXT...

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      By richstad · Posted

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'. Slapstick is just about all Americans can understand. It's a pity, as this is the most basic of humour, that requires no thought at all. It's hilarious to watch a whole room collapse with laughter while yanks sit scratching their heads...
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
