ANGELINA LOVE SIGNS NEW CONTRACT WITH ROH

Ring of Honor is pleased to announce that seven-time former world champion Angelina Love of The Allure has signed a new contract to remain with the company.

Love, who is nearing her 20th anniversary in professional wrestling, continues to perform at a high level. Since joining ROH last year, Love has been a valuable addition to the women’s division because of her recognizability and experience.

“I am extremely happy to have re-signed with Ring Of Honor,” Love said. “I’m very happy working here and look forward to continuing to take the women’s division to new heights this year and beyond. The Allüre will continue to dominate. Just watch.”

The Toronto native burst onto the scene in ROH last April when she and longtime associate Velvet Sky made a surprise appearance at G1 Supercard before a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden. The Allure -- Love, Sky and ROH stalwart Mandy Leon -- made an immediate impact.

Love went on to win ROH’s women’s world championship in September. Before coming to ROH, Love won six world titles and wrestled all over the U.S. as well as Europe and Mexico.

JEFF HARDY LEGAL UPDATE

WWE star Jeff Hardy's scheduled court appearance in Moore County Court in North Carolina today regarding his October 2019 arrest for Driving While Impaired has been pushed back to Monday 5/11.

Hardy was arrested the evening of Thursday 10/3/19 in Moore County, North Carolina.    The police report for the arrest notes that authorities received a tip about a careless driver around 8:40 PM that evening.   Authorities located Hardy's car in front of a liquor store and he emerged carrying a case of beer.  Authorities followed the car and pulled him over after they "observed him weaving badly in his lane."

Hardy had "what seemed to be dried blood on his nose", according to the police report and told officers that he and his wife "got into a fight."  The police report stated that Hardy admitted to having two shots of vodka and admitted to being impaired.  Hardy failed a field sobriety test and according to the report, he was "was uncooperative when asked for a breathalyzer or blood sample."  A judge signed off on a search warrant, allowing officers to extract a blood sample from Hardy.

Hardy's driver's license has been revoked pending the resolution of the case..

Hardy had not been on the road with WWE as he was recovering from a leg injury at the time.  During an March appearance on WWE Backstage, Hardy acknowledged his personal problems, publicly disclosing that he went to an in-patient rehabiliation program, something that WWE had suggested after Hardy's arrest for DWI last October in North Carolina.  As previously reported, WWE had pushed Hardy to address his health and were very happy that Hardy strongly did so.  Hardy noted that going through the program was one of the best things he's ever done for himself.

Hardy returned to the ring on the 3/13 edition of Smackdown, wrestling King Corbin, but has not appeared for WWE since the company began using a smaller crew at WWE Performance Center TV tapings in Orlando stemming from the coronavirus pandemic:

•Loser Leaves MLW Empty Arena Match: Mance Warner vs. MJF
•Douglas James vs. Séptimo Dragon
•Plus more!

MJF battles Mance Warner in a Loser Leaves MLW empty arena match!

MLW is not big enough for both of them. Who will leave the conquering combatant? Which wrestler will be forever vanquished?  MLW Fusion’s historic main event couldn’t have bigger implications.

After months of being disrespected and having his Uncle Moonman pummeled by the Dynasty, the “Southern Psychopath” called out the cocky Dynasty co-founder MJF stating MLW was not big enough for both.

MJF, whose ability is only matched by the size of his ego, quickly accepted the challenge at the protest of his brothers in the Dynasty. Now, the former World Middleweight and Tag Team Champion looks to stomp out Mance Warner once and for all… and likely with some help from his fellow elitists in The Dynasty.

Who will continue to blaze their path into greatness? MJF or Mance Warner? Tune in to MLW Fusion to experience the first ever Loser Leaves MLW Empty Arena match!

The middleweight division heats up as Séptimo Dragon takes on MMA/kickboxer turned pro wrestling Douglas James in a bout with championship implications.  A middleweight challengers bout, matchmakers will be watching both men’s performance as future contenders for the middleweight title come into focus.

Séptimo Dragon enters the bout looking to pounce up the rankings but in order to do so he’ll have to stay in the air and unleash sky combat against the battle tested combat sports athlete Douglas James.

Last week’s King of Knockouts fight has been one of the most controversial topics in combat sports. What’s the fallout from this scandalous clash? Tune in to find out.

Plus: An update on not only last week’s brutal attack on Brian Pillman Jr., but also a medical update on Killer Kross following King Mo breaking a baseball bat across Kross’ back two weeks ago.

TEDDY HART RELEASED FROM JAIL

Edward "Teddy Hart" Annis was released from Richmond City Jail in Virginia this afternoon.  Records indicate that he was released following a court order. 

Hart was arrested on Thursday afternoon 3/26, his third arrest in six weeks in the State of Virginia.  The victim in the case was named publicly as Manic, who Hart had been dating off and on for several months.  Prior to Hart being arrested yesterday, Virginia-based independent wrestler Ace Montana posted a video on his Facebook page where he exits a house, telling someone (believed to be Manic) to lock the door behind him.  After exiting the house, he confronts Hart, warning him that the police have been called and that "she would be pressing charges" while threatening Hart that he needed to leave.   In the video, Hart denied ever touching Manic before heeding Montana's orders and leaving the immediate premises.

Montana wrote the following blurb for the video: "I literally had to pull my gun on #Teddyhart ?? and throw him out of my friends house?. This piece of sh** literally choked out and physically assaulted Maria Manic and would not let her get help. she texted me I’m in danger never ever did I think I would meet a piece of sh** like this guy who has now been arrested with a felony against him. I don’t think this guy knew how close to death he was. #f***youteddyheart This video is me kick[ing] him out before the cops came and arrested him???."

Manic came out publicly to state that she does not wish to file charges against Hart and that she feels the entire situation has been blown out of proportion.  It may be that led to his release.

Hart had initially been held without bail in advance of a June court date.

TRIAL DATE SET IN DEATH OF INDEPENDENT WRESTLER MATT TRAVIS

Luc C. Vu, the man arrested following the death New York City independent wrestler Matt "Travis" Palacios, is set to go to trial before New York Criminal Court on 4/2.  Vu was been charged with reckless driving, failure to yield to a bicyclist, failure to obey a traffic device, driving left of pavement marking and failure to exercise due care in December 2019. 

Palacios was struck while traveling on a bike path in East Harlem about 2:30 AM on Saturday 11/9/19 when a dump truck driver made an illegal left u-turn to get onto the Willis Avenue Bridge.  Travis was struck and although rushed to the hospital, suffered serious trauma and was pronounced dead when he arrived. It is not clear whether Vu was aware he struck Travis.  Vu was driving for D&A Contracting, which fired him upon learning of his arrest. 

Travis, who was returning home from professional wrestling training when he was struck, was only 25 years old.    He had been wrestling regularly for House of Glory, CZW and other promotions in the Northeast at the time of his death.

Update On Van Hammer And His Upcoming Court Date

A pre-trial hearing in the criminal case against former WCW star Mark "Van Hammer" Hildreth was pushed back to 4/30 at 9 AM before Florida's Palm Beach County Court.  Hildreth previously waived his right to a speedy trial.

Hildreth, 60 years old was arrested on Sunday 1/26 and charged with driving under the influence in Boynton Beach, Florida (where he resides) following an incident where Hildreth's car struck a five-year old boy who was riding a bicycle, throwing the boy atop Hildreth's car's hood, according to local police.  The young boy was admitted as a trauma patient with possible internal injuries and "road rash."

According to the police report, Hildreth was driving driving near south Seacrest Boulevard and Southeast 34th Avenue when Hildreth's car struck the boy, who was riding his bicycle with his father.  Hildreth allegedly got out of the car, stated the boy jumped out in front of him, then drove away.  Another witness followed Hildreth to his home and identified him to police.  The police report notes that Hildreth smelled of alcohol and refused to take a breathalyzer, leading to his arrest.

Hildreth was estimated to be doing 58 in a 35 mph zone, according to The Washington Times.  He clipped the boy when his bicycle veered into the street. Eric Tilghman, an industrial door-installer who lives nearby, told the Times News he was driving with a friend Sunday when he saw the car strike the child.  “The father picked up the son off the road  The kid was crying. The dad was crying. The guy was out of the car.” Tilghman said, Then, he said, “I’m looking at the guy and he’s getting back in the car. We’re yelling at him, ‘Don’t you leave. Don’t you leave!’ ”  Tilghman follow Hildreth after he left the scene of the crash, taking photos and following him home.  Hildreth was taken into custody after being found sitting on his front steps.

Backstage News On Where AEW Has Been Filming Television (Now They Have To Relocate)

It looks as though All Elite Wrestling will once again need to find a location to tape Dark and Dynamite. AEW has been filming television at the Nightmare Factory in Norcross, Georgia, which will be shut down temporarily due to a shelter-in-place order signed by Governor Brian Kemp. During a press conference on Wednesday, Kemp stated that he just learned that asymptomatic people can transmit COVID-19.

"Finding out that this virus is now transmitting before people see signs, so what we've been telling people from directives from the CDC for weeks now that if you start feeling bad, stay home," Kemp said. "Those individuals could've been infecting people before they ever felt bad, but we didn't know that until the last 24 hours. And as Dr. [Kathleen] Toomey told me, this is a game changer for us."

"A lot" of future content was filmed in Georgia this past week, according to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio. This will allow AEW the time to regather and plan their next move while airing the footage they have already produced.


As noted earlier this week, AEW previously had to relocate from Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The city of Jacksonville had began using the parking lot near Daily's Place as a major coronavirus testing center.

AJPW CANCELS CHAMPION CARNIVAL TOURNAMENT

All Japan Pro Wrestling’s Champion Carnival tournament will not go on as scheduled.

It was announced today that the tournament will not be taking place in April due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. It was scheduled to start on April 6 at Korakuen Hall, with the finals taking place on May 5 at the same arena.

The president of AJPW, Tsuyoki Fukuda, said in the press conference announcing the cancellation that he will "make every possible effort" to run the tournament this year.

Before the cancellation, a number of changes were already being made due to the fast moving nature of the pandemic. Davey Boy Smith Jr., Lucas Steel, and Joel Redman were all previously announced for the tournament. However, they were pulled following travel restrictions imposed by the Japanese government.

The Champion Carnival tournament has been held every year since 1991, with the tournament originally starting in 1973. Kento Miyahara won last year’s tournament, defeating Jake Lee in the finals.
