			Seems Impact Wrestling might have just spoiled part of tomorrow's episode of NXT in regards to the finals of the Interim Cruiser tournament and the big storyline associated with it based on their hype video for next month's Slammiversary event. SPOILER: show |

			Wasn't Drake Maverick already released? Pretty sure he wouldn't be winning the Cruiserweight Title.  Man, AEW didn't get Rusev? That's a blow for them. |

			i figured impact would 2 or 3 of those wrestlers, but the rest of them may be hype or per show deals. i bet a lot of them are doing short term deals till new japan opens again.

			I doubt that all of them are coming in.....everyone except Rusev has made appearances for TNA/GFW/Impact before so it was a chance to splice in archive footage. That they felt the need to include the Bulgarian flag though makes me think Rusev is the signing. |

			Random Wrestling story Tomy Atlas came into the AWA in 1984 which was based in Minnesota. During Tony's debut match, Verne Gagne turned to Wally Karbo (Verne's right hand man) and said "See, I told ya blacks can't get over in this territory" |

			The best story I ever read about Verne Gagne was how he had a busted index finger for years, kept breaking it and just taping it back up until it essentially "died" and he lost all feeling in it. Anyway he was in a match with someone, he puts the claw on them and when they blade for it they somehow hack the end of Verne's finger off. Classic. |

			Some of the guys on the DSOTR team seem less than interested in wrestling. Stepping stone for them I suppose. I get the feeling Vice would keep the show and change the staff for next season if there is one. |

 Could see EC3 and Maverick get regular contracts because of their past history and being known commodities for Impact. Everyone else gets per show deals that could become regular deals later assuming they stay. Karl Anderson already teased before about wanting to go back to NJPW once things go back to normal there so a short term deal with Impact makes a ton of sense for now. | |

			It’s Impact, just as likely to tease all these guys, then bring in Rowan as the only signing.

			Another person from NXT getting the main roster call-up treatment very soon. Quote: 
 Could have had another team for the women's tag division had NXT and main Creatives actually bothered to push the duo as a team on tv and not abruptly break them up only to do nothing really notable afterwards with her and Deonna Purrazzo. | |

			David Bixenspan really went off on WWE for everything involving Drake Maverick's legit firing and redemption storyline once it turned out to be just a shameless PR stunt on their end for cheap praise and positive press. Even worse is Drake's new deal might be for way less money than he was making before based on recent rumors about WWE's offers to those who were released and making Impact's regular offers look rich by comparison. He's gone off about stuff WWE has done before either in poor taste or being tone deaf but this might be the most heated he's been in recent times regarding something storyline-based. Even he admitted this might have topped the list for him. |

			Dave Bixenspan being allowed to live outside of the womb is a human rights violation for everyone with eyes.

				               |   He can, exactly how ugly we are is the one thing anybody can control in that regard. If you look good you can still look worse or even better, if you look bad you can at least make the effort not to look like shit which is something a lot of people pretend not to know. Box leans into his ugliness like a beauty queen would lean into her applause. |

			Add Veveteen Dream and Io Shrai to the list of NXT call-ups planned for this month and/or July. Also Adam Cole going to get one of the sweetest raises ever in WWE since his contract expires in August and he's been in "most favored" territory as Triple H's handpick star. |
