Monday News And Notes: Moose, Alicia Fox, Schedule, More

– To help reduce the number of posts, I’m going to start adding news throughout the day to one. Enjoy!

– WWE is hoping to keep a tighter leash on Hall of Fame speeches this year, but that seems to be the plan every year and it doesn’t end up working. Attendance is mandatory this year, as we’d mentioned before. 

– I’ve been re-cutting several of the Making A Finisher videos to include actual footage. We won’t be able to monetize them, but Impact graciously whitelisted us for use on Youtube, and WWE just wants to monetize it for themselves.

– There isn’t a women’s pay-per-view planned internally for this year as of now. That doesn’t really mean anything in March, as that was the case last year as well. They are pushing for something that could be way bigger socially, however.

– There is no heat on any wrestlers that have had personal photos or videos leaked. WWE doesn’t and hasn’t cared about that in a long time

– To expand upon the Roman Reigns situation, I’m told that those who needed to know found out in the weeks leading up to the return, as opposed to early in the week. 

–  Impact Wrestling announced today via Sporting News that Moose had re-signed with the company. This led to a good amount of confusion, as Moose publicly announced in 2017 he’d signed a three-year deal with Impact, which put him through July 2020. When I asked Impact Wrestling about the contract, they said ” Is a multi-year deal.  Terms of the deal are not disclosed” which didn’t clear up a whole lot.

– On the Alicia Fox situation, we’re told that she was offered and didn’t accept rehab and sort of went “AWOL” after that. We were told that Fox was on “thin ice” after incidents over the last couple of years, one of which was her being in line for a push a couple of years ago until she showed up over two hours late to a show. There were several names within the company who had no idea of what Alicia is up to right now, or even if she was or wasn’t at rehab. 

– We’re told that some at ESPN are “ticked off” that they got scooped by WrestleVotes on the Torrie Wilson Hall of Fame news
