Adam Cole Coming to WWE?

My guess is that Adam Cole is going to the WWE in April, that is the word on the street. That has been kind of a bad secret for quite some time. Nonetheless, they had a hell of a wrestling match, and Adam Cole did everything that a true pro should do by passing the torch. Adam Cole doing what he did—doing the honors, ensured that Christopher Daniels beat somebody to become the Ring of Honor champion, and that means the line of succession continues where the man that faces Christopher Daniels guarantees that Daniels would do the right thing, and the new champion, whoever that might be, whenever it may be, would have beat somebody, so great show from Vegas. I have been told by the FiteAPP folks that it set records of the Ring of Honor pay per views on the app, so congratulations are in order. One hell of a wrestling show and am really proud of your effort.

Impact Announce Team

We have to have a better effort in the announce booth at Impact Wrestling. We have to have a better effort. We need more continuity and cohesion. Too much noise, too much. I didn’t say I didn’t like; everybody in the booth I like, so I’m not looking to piss on somebody’s Cheerios, or throw anyone under the bus, and I damn sure don’t want anyone’s job—let’s get that one straight. I’m just saying, as an old producer of talent. I thought that the booth for Impact Wrestling was a bit too busy and it took away from what I was seeing, and again, the more you perpetuate, and one line of thought audibly, and the other I am seeing visually, there has got to be some level of disconnect; there’s gotta be.
