I'm not a subscribe to pw insider so don't know. Wrestling inc had an article expanding on the pw. Insider reveal with

As noted yesterday, Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com is reporting that Kurt Angle is expected to appear on the post-WrestleMania 33 RAW on April 3rd in Orlando, Florida. In an update, Johnson reported that Angle is also scheduled for the post-WrestleMania SmackDown taping, which is also taking place in Orlando. Angle will be inducted earlier that weekend into the WWE Hall of Fame

is this Johnson guy credible also.?

 

[Kimi]

On his actual news he is, but he reports a lot of click bait too. Same with the PreWrestlingSheet guy, he's got legit contacts for news too.

Dana Brooke competed in the Arnold Classic last night. She finished dead last and apparently received one of the lowest scores in the competition's history.

So she is literally the worst

Big Show said Shaq is fat. Dude probably feels so slighted now.

He's not wrong, either. He looks horribly out of shape.

“He’s got to be what, 440, 450 pounds? He’s gotten pretty fat. Me on the other hand? I just weighed in this morning — 379 pounds. Maybe he doesn’t want to put on spandex and show the entire world that Shaquille O’Neal, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, looks like Jabba the Hutt. It’s on him. He has to weigh these consequences in his own mind. Does he want the world to know how fat and out of shape he is? Or does he want to sit back and talk s-it into a podcast? C’mon, Shaq. Where are you? Just bring some heating pads after the match. You’ll be all right.“

This is why we don't book Wrestlemania matches A YEAR in advance.

Even months in advance....look at the bullet that WWE barely dodged with the Rollins injury.

 

[Kimi]

What?

Booking in advance is how you get a good product. Booking on the fly is how you get inconsistence messes most weeks on TV. Just look at how good NJPW does with their booking, and they book everything a year in advance.

Yeah injuries happen, but that's just how it is. You adapt and keep going. You can't run scared all the time, you need to commit else nothing will ever get done.

And in a match like this one, you don't even need to adapt. It's was a bubble match that doesn't matter to anything else. So it's perfectly fine booking it a year in advance even if you want to book a weekly mess for everything else.

 

[Disclose]

looks like Hardyz chose ROH....

 

[Blainer114*]

Hardys just won the roh tag titles, theyll prob sign with wwe around or after mania

 

[Emperoreddy]

They actually are already booked for the ROH date they mentioned when they face the Bucks again so... this could just be an angle for that.

 

[Disclose]

yeah forgot about the original date. so they could lose it there.
Matt said they were "here to stay", but... yeah... wrestling.

 

[Kimi]

All these RoH dates were set up back in November before Final Battle (RoH PPV) which they were still under contract with TNA. They were always going to work with RoH while under the TNA contract (and under the new contracts that they ended up not signing), so it doesn't say anything as to where they'll be signing.

But them leaving TNA does mean that RoH have more access to them, so they'll probably get more dates and do a bit more with them.

Well it depends. Dave originally said that they would show up in WWE in April after their last indie date. Doesn't sound like they have anything booked past the 1st, which was the date they booked months ago.

Bully Ray also showed up in ROH. This whole show (and apparently the crowd chants agreed) seemed like a giant **** you to TNA.

My guess is they still show up on SD the night after Mania, but we should know more tomorrow night when Dave calls into LAW.

I saw the Dana video. She's not really in "Arnold Classic" shape.

I just watched it, seemed more like a stripper's routine

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

They should sign the woman who won.

 

[Del Preston]

The only reason I watched it was to see if she botched.

They've just uploaded their post-UFC show (was late due to family stuff) and they are talking about the Hardys.


They are full time RoH.

This isn't a short deal, they've signed with RoH on big($) long contracts. They, unlike most RoH guys, still get to do any indy dates that they want (the same deal that Cody has, where he goes everywhere and no one stops him). They also get to have creative control on their character to keep the gimmick going, which was key to them signing. And they are taking booking for dates post-'Mania again

 

[GKJ]

On another note, doesn't sound good for Honma on that show.

 

[Kimi]

Yeah, paralysis usually will stop you from wrestling .

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Hardys have signed an ROH deal apparently.
