TNA have reached an out of court settlement with their former Knockout Daffney over the Workers’ Comp claim she filed against the company two years ago. Their hand was forced when a ruling was about to be made about the validity of their contracts.
This week the Underrated and Under Appreciated Wrestler Series takes a look at the career of a talented wrestler who was sunk by a terrible gimmick- Terry Taylor.
In this series, we look back on every Royal Rumble event to date. Up next: Royal Rumble 1993, featuring Yokozuna breaking the record for eliminations en route to victory.
That's a polite way of saying that he was sent home for disciplinary reasons. Yet again Corny's lack of anger control has cost him another good job, when he threatened ROH's business manager with violence for leaving early at their last TV tapings.
According to Dave Meltzer, WWE has finally been able to purchase the UWF / Mid South tape library, believed to be the largest collection of North American wrestling footage that they didn't own, after a very long drawn out period of negotiations. I doubt WWE will stop until they own everything and Vince McMahon controls the whole of North American wrestling history.
No-one likes a former employee badmouthing their company in public, especially when they now run a business in competition with them for the same customers and also have a powerful point that will sway those clients away. The answer usually is to send them a cease and desist letter to force them to shut up. Which is the case with the recent bad blood between ROH and their ex booker Gabe Sapolsky.
Uncertainty has abounded over the future of WWE's developmental system, ever since rumours were prematurely leaked that WWE planned to shut down Florida Championship Wrestling and replace it with something better. Dave Meltzer has revealed that the top FCW talent who are almost ready for the main roster would be relocated to Stamford soon to work hands on with Terry Taylor to prepare them for their WWE television debuts.
According to Dave Meltzer, Bright House Sports, which was originally told that the FCW television tapings on March 15th would be the promotion's last ones ever before closure, have been contacted by WWE again to be told that they've changed their minds on that decision. However, WWE told Bright House that they only wanted back on their television station temporarily, but didn't tell them how long for.
It seems like everyone is coming out of the woodwork for WrestleMania 28. Not only have Batista and Brock Lesnar turned up in Miami for WWE, but Fit Finlay and Terry Taylor are in town too, likely for much more than just a social visit and catching up with old friends. Dave Meltzer is reporting that both those men have been rehired by WWE for management positions and started work over WrestleMania weekend.
According to his sarcastic friend John "Bradshaw" Layfield on facebook, TNA executive Bruce Prichard recently had a health scare and suffered two heart attacks in the process. Dave Meltzer of f4wonline.com clarified that he was hospitalised with a heart issue over a week ago, which led to the operation to have two stents put in his heart and at some point in the process he suffered the heart attacks.
