Misc. Wrestling News & Notes

Prestige Wrestling recently announced that Mustafa Ali will be making an appearance for the company at their Roseland 8 event on April 14th in Portland, Oregon.

Mustafa Ali announced on Twitter his current schedule of indie events for this February and March revealing that he will be making several appearances for TNA Wrestling during that time.

Game Changer Wrestling recently announced that Monster Sauce (Lance Archer & Alex Zayne) will be making their official debut for the company at their Touch The Sky event on February 23rd in Dallas, Texas.

As noted before, Emma, also known as Tenille Dashwood in Impact/TNA and indies, was released by WWE this past September. In a recent virtual fan signing event for Captain’s Corner, Dashwood gave her thoughts about the future of her wrestling career. Dashwood stated “Lots of, like you said, exciting times now because anything is possible. So one thing I will say is, I miss wrestling. So I will be thinking on what the next steps are for that and where you might see me next.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)

In a recent interview with MuscleManMalcolm, Joey Janela gave his thoughts about him not being currently interested in working for a wrestling promotion that runs television shows and instead is more focus on GCW and the indies for his career. Janela stated “There’s been people hitting me up, but I told them I’m not interested at the moment because I want to do indies, and GCW’s more important to me than a lot of this stuff. It was sometimes painful to be in an AEW locker room, to be watching a GCW show or something in the locker room, like a weirdo, like, ‘Fuck, I miss this.’ But it didn’t last long. Soon as I realized I could still do independents, I started doing them again, but then COVID happened, and that was a whole different situation.” Janela also stated that he currently enjoys working in the indies due to the creative freedom he has for his career.
