Triple H Headed To NYC, DG:USA-Davey Richards Update, Lots More

Partial Source: PWInsider

— WWE is sending Triple H to represent the company and to promote the new Mattel Toy line at the International Toy Fair in NYC next week. This event is not open to the public.

— On last night’s episode of The Colbert Report, Sgt. Slaughter’s name was mentioned during a piece on “don’t ask, don’t tell”.

— On Saturday at the Wrestling Universe store in Flushing, NY, Hacksaw Jim Duggan will be signing autographs from 1PM-3PM.

— Management for Dragon Gate USA has decided to not pursue legal action against Davey Richards. Richards was already under a contract to ROH, and the company feels that they will be fighting an impossible battle and wasting financial resources. Last weekend there were many in the company that were adamant that there would be legal action, but the issue is now considered dead. There was some heat with the main Dragon Gate office in Japan over how the issue was handled. The feeling is that the company will mainly focus on the Japanese talents now, since they can be trusted to be completely be on board.

— In a correction from yesterday, the replay of the Dragon Gate USA Freedom Fight PPV will be on Saturday at 3PM, not Sunday.

WWE releases expected by days end today…..
