Scott Hall will not be appearing at Saturday's Big Time Wrestling convention and show at Newark, CA High School that includes such names as Ric Flair, Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson, Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Godfather and many others.

Hall was scheduled for the convention and to manage his son, Cody Hall. Scott texted promoter Kirk White and said he was in a dark place and refused to get out of bed for Cody and for DDP, who tried to get him to fulfill his booking. Cody Hall did make the trip and will be on the show Saturday night.

WWE has signed Willie Mack.

According to Jason Powell, WWE has passed on ACH & Rocky Romero. No word on Roderick Strong, who was in the same camp and was said to have been the most impressive on promos (that's not a typo).

If you've been following our VOW podcasts, Kevin Steen is telling people we trust that he'll "be in Florida by (July)".

No news is good news for Strong, imo. He was the one they liked the most, and hasn't heard "no" yet.

DANCING BLACK MAN



Awesome for Willie Mack, though. He's got personality and charisma and he can work better than a bunch of guys currently in developmental.

DANCING BLACK MAN

Obviously they ran out of Rusev opponents, and Cedric Alexander, Caprice Coleman, & Tadarious Thomas were unavailable.

RE: Steen in developmental

I'm curious if they gimmick him up and let him run, or if we go 6-12 months without seeing Steen as they "reconfigure" his style and make him lose a bunch of weight.

I like Willie Mack better than those three homogeneous negros.

Powell has confirmed Kevin Steen.

Steen & Mack in.

ACH & Romero no deal.

Waiting word on Roddy Strong.

I'm most excited for this because it seems the WWE might be warming up to the FAT WRESTLER once more.

Yup.

Fat guy drew money for decades, no reason fat guy can't draw money again.

Hopefully Steen knows how to dance.

Samoa Joe is holding his breath....

Samoa Joe is holding his breath....

Unfortunately, for Joe...TNA has sucked all of the life out of him. Guy has been lifeless for a few years now.

A damn shame, too.

He should just look at all the others who left TNA and have done well. The Young Bucks are doing well, Shelley is killing it, Styles is resurgent, Xavier Woods.....is a very content jobber, probably...

The Young Bucks & Styles are making a shit ton more money now then they would be making in TNA. That might not last for Styles long term once the novelty of booking him wears off, because he had a good six figure deal, but for now he's killing it. He's drawing, too. TNA letting him go was a blessing in disguise.

Woods is easily making a ton more more money staring at the lights for Rusev. He has the doctorate too, so he has a job for life like Otunga because they mark for that so they can "prove" wrestlers are smart or something to the mainstream.

PWInsider has confirmed the report from The Wrestling Observer this week that Ric Flair is scheduled to undergo WWE medical testing in Pittsburgh so that he can be brought back to TV as a regular character.

We noted before that Flair wanted to work with Dolph Ziggler. PWInsider notes that idea was shot down. Word going around indeed is that Flair will be put with The Miz again. Flair must past all of WWE's necessary tests before he can be brought back.

Ziggy cant get a break, man. Could Cena be be pushing to hold him down because of ex girlfriend Nikki Bella?
