Luke Williams Appearance Debacle

Strange story about Bushwhacker Luke Williams, the situation is actually even stranger than it sounds. Dan Mirade booked Luke for two autograph sessions. Williams was told about the dates but didn't know one of the dates was for a Walmart. He then got asked on social media about him appearing at a Walmart. So he thought they were false advertising him since he knew he had a booking that day. He then told the local media he was being false advertised. But in fact, he wasn't being false advertised. So it's all been settled except for one of the TV news stations still has the story up about him being false advertised and won't pull it because they had an interview with him saying it. So Luke shot an interview today explaining that he, in fact, will be in Ozark, AR on 5/3 and Fort Smith, AR on 5/4.

Brian Cage Talks Injury At Impact Rebellion, If He'll Be Out Of Action

Impact Wrestling announced after last night's Rebellion PPV the new Impact World Champion Brian Cage was rushed to the emergency room after sustaining an injury during his match against Johnny Impact. Earlier today, Cage joined Busted Open to give an update after taking a spanish fly from the ramp down to the floor.

"Right when we hit, I'm rolling and the pain shoots down through my leg," Cage said. "It's a feeling I've never had before in my life. I'm instantly thinking, 'ruptured disc or whatever. My back is f---ed, I'm going to have to have surgery or something.' Then I'm thinking, 'Maybe it'll go away,' and just trying to enter the ring after that moment, I'm bleeding and what not.

"Rolling into the ring, turning my hip over hip and trying to get up, I felt like there was no strength there and the pain shot down my leg again, and I'm like 'crap.' But it felt almost a little bit better, so maybe it will subside here in a second, like a flash thing. Then I think was in the corner and I evaded Johnny, and there was no movement, like, I couldn't. I felt so slow and robotic in my mannerisms and movement because of the pain."

Cage then said he shouldn't be out of action for long as he was diagnosed with severe inflammation and a bone bruise. At worst, a small fracture, but there's not much he can do for that aside from rest.

"Yeah it doesn't look like I'm going to be out," Cage said. "[The Doctor] goes, 'I think you're going to be fine, you have severe inflammation and a bone bruise, there could be a small fracture there. I would like to rule that out, however, if there is a fracture, I don't seeing it being any major fracture. Even then, you can't do much more for that, just err on the side of caution.'"

BRIAN CAGE SUFFERS BACK INJURY AT IMPACT REBELLION, MICHAEL ELGIN DEBUTS

Brian Cage, who captured the Impact championship tonight from Johnny Impact at the Rebel Complex in Toronto, suffered a back injury in the match.

The injury is believed from the spot where he took a Spanish fly off the ramp and onto the floor. He continued the match, but shortly after the show was over, Cage was barely able to walk and was rushed to the hospital.

Cage had gone into the ring with cupping marks all over his back.  Cupping is a therapy treatment popular in Japan since the 70s and gained some American use in the 2016 Olympics. But that would indicate that he went into the match with some back issues.

After the match was over, Cage was confronted by the debuting Michael Elgin. It ended up being physical when Elgin attacked Cage, laying him out with the Elgin bomb, setting up a possible future title match between the two.

Michael Elgin made his debut for Impact Wrestling tonight, immediately catapulting himself into their world title scene.

Brian Cage defeated Johnny Impact to win the Impact World title at tonight’s Rebellion pay-per-view. After the match, Elgin appeared on the stage and made his way to the ring. Following a staredown, Elgin jumped Cage, took the title and gave him the Elgin bomb. He then posed with the title before leaving.

Elgin has been associated with New Japan Pro Wrestling since 2015, winning both the Intercontinental and NEVER titles on one occasion. He did not re-sign with the company earlier this year and left last month on March 24, teaming with Colt Cabana and Toa Henare to defeat Satoshi Kojima, Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Shota Umino. His contract officially expired on 4/1.

Since leaving NJPW, Elgin has mostly worked the Canadian independent scene. He’s also previously worked for Ring of Honor, where he held their world championship on one occasion.
