Tues. #2 is HERE. To help out the site subscribe to Mistah MegaManFan or support us on Patreon. With the cheap plugs out of the way here's Wednesday's latest wrestling news.

In this interview Booker T talks about what makes MJF so special: "As far as guys that just popping up and really making a huge difference the way the business is being looked at, and they're doing it from an old school perspective, and that's MJF. The reason I say that is because we're not talking about any of his matches because you don't remember any of them, and that's what good wrestlers - that's what they do. The intangibles. You wonder why you are so intrigued with this guy so much more than you are with everybody else on the roster and you really don't know what it is. It's those little bitty small things that are being done that go quite well over your head. You don't see them. It's like the wind, you can feel it but you can't touch it, and that's what a guy like MJF is bringing to the table."

Here Miro f/k/a Rusev says he was promised a WrestleMania program with Bobby Lashley: "I was lied to. I was brought up for the spot to have a WrestleMania main event match. That's what I was pitched. I don't think I even made it to WrestleMania. Yeah, and it's not like I didn't do something they wanted me to, I did everything they wanted. I thought it was still over with the people. I think it started rocky. I don't even know why we started rocky. I expressed my opinion when Maria Kanellis came out and was saying that she's pregnant by somebody or something like that. I told Paul Heyman, I'm like, 'This is gonna get people confused. People are not gonna like this.' He did not care. He blamed her for that. 'She did not word it right or whatnot. They do it in Knoxville, Tennessee, trust me. I love Knoxville, Tennessee. But next week we're in Chicago, whatever. Why don't we save it for Chicago or something? Why do it in front of 2,000 people instead of 20,000?"

What's better than one IMPACT Wrestling show?
 
How about two - and to make it even better, you get two for the price of one!
 
IMPACT Wrestling will make a splash at WrestleCon in Dallas on April 1st with back-to-back shows, starting at 9 p.m. local time at the Fairmont Hotel. Round two of IMPACT Wrestling WrestleCon extravaganza is set to start at midnight, featuring a return of the popular flashback IMPACT Provincial Wrestling Federation (IPWF).
 
The 9 p.m. IMPACT show at WrestleCon will feature all of the IMPACT superstars, such as IMPACT World Champion Moose, IMPACT Knockouts World Champion Mickie James, IMPACT X-Division Champion Trey Miguel and many others.
 
The Good Brothers, for instance, are confirmed to wrestle at IMPACT's 9 p.m. show on Friday night, April 1st, in conjunction with one of the biggest annual pro wrestling weekend's of the year. Also confirmed for the 9 p.m. show: Deonna Purrazzo, Matt Cardona, Chelsea Green, Ace Austin, Eric Young, Jordynne Grace, Rhino, Rich Swann, Steve Maclin and Tasha Steelz, among others.
 
The second show will feature the IPWF stars who have shined, well, since the mid-1980s. The retro stars include Bill Ding (Trey Miguel), DJ 2 Large (Moose), Sex Ferguson (Doc Gallows), Chad 2Badd (Karl Anderson), Ladybird Johnson (Havok), Georgia Cobb (Jordynne Grace), Rip Rayzor (Ace Austin), Jazzy Fitbody (Madison Rayne) and many others.
 
"WrestleCon is one of the biggest events on the wrestling calendar every year ... we're proud to be a part of it," said IMPACT Executive Vice-President Scott D'Amore. "We're doubly proud this year."
 
IMPACT will hold Meet & Greet sessions before and after its WrestleCon shows. (Names of those who will be a part of the Meet & Greets will be announced in the coming weeks.)
 
Tickets to both IMPACT shows are now available and both are expected to sell-out. http://highspotslive.com/products/impact-wrestling-april-1st-9-00-pm-cst .

A new vlog from Ethan Page with MJF screwing with him backstage is below.

MLW's Richard Holliday will be in L.A. from May through June 22nd and is looking for bookings in the area.

Gabriel Kidd has some things to say about FTR: "Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, I'll say their names right now. They are my kind of wrestlers. I'll say this, I respect them both very much for the path they have taken and the wrestling style that they show the world and have highlighted. But I am in that same category. So if you want to fight me, let's fucking go. I'm here. What's up? I'll open whatever door I have to do to make that happen. That's all I need to say about it. We can talk in person. I ain't bothered."

A new Michael Oku interview can be found below.

Here Shane "Swerve" Strickland talks about Cody Rhodes potentially returning to WWE: "I mean we've seen it before. We've seen it before with a Drew McIntyre, we've seen it before with a Bobby Lashley too, we've seen it with a Jericho many times. We have seen it with a lot of different talents over the years. Is it a shock with the timing? The timing, yes, I think it's a shock. I thought he'd have had a bigger swan song for AEW, me personally. But, I think these past five years I think he's earned it, me personally, I think he's earned it. He's sat out, did what he wanted to do, had a reality show, got on a big game show with a lot of eyes, made his connections, proved the internet wrong. Changed the narrative of him that we've seen for years, you know. He's done a lot, so I think he's doing what's best for him, his career, and his family."

The lineup for NXT next week can be found below. (WWE)

* Tommaso Ciampa vs. Dolph Ziggler
* LA Knight vs. Grayson Waller
