While speaking to The Mirror to promote Sunday’s Slammiversary event, Alberto El Patron told the publication that he was very happy with his stay in Impact Wrestling and revealed that he plans to retire with the promotion.
“It was time for Alberto to find a new place, a place to make him love and enjoy wrestling again and IMPACT needed another big star, another big name, and now with the new people in charge, they were able to give me the right offer.
At that point, I joined the company and that is why I am so happy right now. I am going to retire in IMPACT Wrestling because I am just so happy.”
Primo and Epico may be on their way out of WWE.
SuperLuchas.com reports that there is a “strong rumor” that Primo and Epico have asked for their WWE releases. These rumors surfaced after a t-shirt for Orlando Colon surfaced on ProWrestlingtees.com. Typically WWE Superstars are not allowed to have any merchandise outside of the company.
We will keep you updated once we receive an update on their status.
Lawler is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jerry Lawler.
Lawler begins today’s show speaking about the MizTV segment from RAW this week, which featured LaVar Ball and his two sons. He says that this was certainly a silly segment, but it undoubtably accomplished its goal of getting people to talk about Monday Night RAW.
Lawler says that ‘wrestling purists’ who had a major issue with this segment need to chill out and settle down. WWE tries to be topical and if they have an opportunity to bring someone on RAW who has been in the public eye, they’ll do it every single time.
Moore mentions that Cody Rhodes dropped Lawler’s name on his conference call earlier this week. Rhodes was asked who he’d like to wrestle moving forward and he said Kenny Omega and Jerry Lawler. Lawler says he’d absolutely accept the invitation to face Rhodes one on one, and he anticipates that could happen in the very near future.
