IMPACT/LU Main Event – We’ve seen some impressive matches announced for WrestleCon but the main event will sell the show in theory, and here’s hoping that this one does the trick . Headlining the event will be Austin Aries and Rey Fenix taking on Alberto El Patron and Penta 0M (aka Pentagon Dark). The main event will be arranged as such due to avoid having one of their champions each a loss.
Here’s the lineup;
Penta 0M and Alberto El Patron vs. Rey Fenix and Austin ARies
Tag Champs vs. Tag Champs
Willie Mack and Killshot (c) vs. LAX (c)
I Quit
Jeremiah Crane vs. Eddie Edwards
Aero Star/King Cuerno/Drago vs. DJZ/Andrew Everett/Dezmond Xavier
Matt Hardy Threatens Fans With Another Compound Match – While you may have your own opinion on the event from this past Monday involving Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy, if you saw IMPACT Wrestling’s version, you know the Ultimate Deletion was stripped down and tame. Well, Matt Hardy tweeted out that last Monday’s match was merely an “introduction” to this universe of his. Which means, we ma get more. Let’s hope that Michael Cole is truly voicing the opinion of the back, because this was unwatchable. Now WWE is promoting the idea that Hardy is stalking Cole over Cole’s comments. So, that’s….gross.
Taz and Graves Get Into It – Corey Graves for some reason took a shot at Taz, claiming Taz was insecure over twitter. I’m sure Graves will feign that this was just a work, like his “work” with Booker T. The tweet Graves sent out has now been deleted. Taz showing he’s not insecure, did the most insecure thing by replying to Graves, saying;
I have no clue what you are talking about.
PS: Tough to be insecure when I’m the happiest I’ve been ever professional for past 3 + years & I always stick to ORANGE & BLACK. https://t.co/DhecR40gCZ— TAZ (@OfficialTAZ) March 20, 2018
It’s not that surprising that Graves took a shot at Taz and deleted it. Graves “gimmick” is that he’s “real”. It’s totally not a way for him to excuse his shitty behavior at times. He’s just a heel after all. And for Taz to prove how insecure he is after being accused of being insecure, well, you can’t write stuff that funny.
Title Bout Set For WrestleMania – After the last few weeks of 205 Live tournament matches, we now have our finals for the Cruiserweight Championship at WrestleMania XXXIV. It will be Cedric Alexander vs. Mustafa Ali for the belt. Personally, I feel it’s underwhelming. When wrestlers like HIdeo Itami, Akira Tozawa, Drew Gulak and others are passed over for the least interesting wrestler ever in Ali, well, bleh. Joining this bland piece of un-buttered toast will be the equally bland United States Championship match involving Bobby Roode taking on Jinder Mahal and Randy Orton in a triple threat for the belt.
Quick Hits – WWE will broadcast the Saudi Arabian event on their service at noon the day of. Zack Sabre Jr. defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi in the 2018 New Japan Cup . SoCal Uncensored is set to face off with The Kingdom at SuperCard of Honor for the ROH Six Man Tag Titles. Rocky Johnson (The Rock’s father) recently underwent a successful hip replacement surgery.
