3) Triple H Squashes Rumor About His Recent Backstage Meeting With NXT Talent
There was a rumor that Triple H spoke to NXT talent in a meeting and said something about AEW trying to “bully’ them. Triple H was asked about this after Takeover: Stand & Deliver, where he squashed these rumors.
Here is what Triple H said (h/t to Fightful):
“It was a conversation with our talent that was exactly that, it was informational to tell them where we’re going. Meetings that we have all the time given COVID restrictions. We had a lot less than we normally would. As far as the content of the meeting that was reported by a lot of people and elsewhere, completely inaccurate. Never said, never brought up, nobody else was ever brought up, nothing about other people, wasn’t about other brands or companies or anything else. It was a factual meeting to tell people where we’re going, where we’re headed and to motivate them going into the future. Nothing more nothing less,”
My Take:
- Glad that we can finally move on from this rumor.
2) WWE Botches Hall Of Fame Legacy Induction
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE botched the legacy induction of Ethel Johnson. For those who missed it, Ethel was named as a ‘legacy inductee’ into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Instead of using video footage of Johnson, they used footage of a wrestler named Sandy Parker instead.
My Take:
- This seems like a big blunder and I feel bad for any of Ethel’s family.
