Day 749

• No E3 of any kind this year -- online or otherwise.  Plans are to try to bring the event back next year in full.
• Early events from Wrestlemania Weekend in Dallas:

1. Jeff Jarrett and his wife Karen are back to terrorize the event they nearly caused a riot at last Wrestlemania-Dallas weekend:  Jarrett aided his La Impresa AAA stable to destroy main-event winner Psycho Clown and even stole a fan's cane to aid in the attack.  (The cane was returned unharmed.)
2. Randy Orton went on The Pat McAfee Show today and basically destroyed NXT, stating they don't know what they are doing and are lackadasical at protecting their opponents.  Gee, you think cutting William Regal and slamming HHH to the side might have something to do with THAT?   
3. There has apparently been an incident at WrestleCon with former NXT/205 Live wrestler Lince Dorado, possibly involving the father of former Bayley superfan Izzy.  Cody Silyagi has apparently become quite the subject of controversy in the pro wrestling community the last 12-24 months - not sure if justified or otherwise.
4. It appears as if both the controversy and the incident are carryovers to the whole situation with pedophile professional wrestling trainer Chasyn Rance.  Apparently, as a result of the friendship between Rance and Dorado, Cody (whose daughter nearly became a student of Rance's before his past was discovered) was talking quite a bit and Dorado challenged him to a public fight -- which has apparently happened at WrestleCon.  Stay tuned -- Dorado has said he will give his side of the story in due time.
5. Jon Moxley retained the GCW World Heavyweight Championship with a pinfall win over AJ Gray.
6. The annual 10 man Wrestlecon Supershow tag was a complete clusterfuck.  PCO (formerly one of the Mounties in WWE) brought four ex-WWE mid and lower-carders:  Jimmy Wang Yang, Barry Horowitz, Enzo Amore, and Fandango.  Atsushi Onita, who's about 107 and can't bump, brought The Rock and Roll Express, Juice Robinson from NJPW, and Colt Cabana.
   
7. Onita is actually 72, the same age as Jerry Lawler.  Both have now wrestled this year.
8. The main event of the Mark Hitchcock Memorial Supershow at Wrestlecon was ruined when a fan heckled Low Ki for his anti-vaxx stand and, hence, being blackballed from many wrestling federations.
9. And an online beef over a previous card's pay between a wrestler and promoter has hit the Internet.  Good grief, and we're just entering Friday...

• The UCLA Director of Race and Equity said the quiet part out loud:  He (like any sane person) would like to see another Supreme Court vacancy soon -- by the death of Clarence (Uncle) Thomas.
• Bruce Arians stunned everybody Wednesday night by resigning as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, taking a front-office position, and succeeding Defensive Coordinator Todd Bowles to the job -- stating that was part of the reason he wanted to keep the seat warm, was to pass it directly to Bowles.  And when asked why he didn't want a second Brady ring, which might give him a fast-track to Canton, said he didn't give a fuck about the Hall of Fame in that regard -- the loyalty to the likes of Bowles was too important.
• Now-former St. Peter's coach Shaheen Holloway has been hired away (by the same athletic director who hired him there) to coach at Seton Hall.  To give an idea, however, how amenable the parting is, the entire Elite Eight team showed up to send him off at his Seton Hall press conference, and the team was given three standing ovations at the presser.
• Florida Man strikes again, literally.  A Black high-school track runner in Florida Knockout Gamed a White runner at a track meet on Saturday.
• Several Orange County, CA people were arrested on the charges of running an illegal sports-gambling outfit in Southern California -- one of them an ex-pro baseball player.  Wayne Nix, never got about AA in the A's organization, is among several who will plead guilty.
• There COULD be a bigger story from this.  The MSN story is actually claiming this underground outfit was taking wagers from professional athletes.   None are apparently named.
• The Forum in Inglewood has a new naming sponsor:  Kia.
  
• Staines Town Football Club in England has been forced to immediately shutter due to involvement with the Downing Group and possibly human trafficking violations by the latter, in violation of a 2015 British anti-slavery law.  Staines Town had been in an eighth-level English league, to be relegated to ninth-level after the season.
