On his latest podcast Matt Hardy talked about the passing of Scott Hall: "It was very sad how it just came out of left field, this happened, he had surgery and these heart attacks. Once again, a very drastic and stark reminder of how tomorrow isn't promised and that's how I try to live my life every day now. You have to really enjoy each and every day and every moment you have. Our expression is to live for the moment and there is a lot of truth to that because no one is guaranteed tomorrow. Especially as you get older, I think about that a lot for all of us, but the thing with Scott Hall was that it was out of the blue and such a strong and real reminder that nobody is guaranteed tomorrow, and just enjoy every moment of life and also be good to people as well. Scott was very cool to us, we had a lot of good fun stories with him. I'll never forget the second day I was with WWE, obviously the first day Jeff wrestled him, he was 16 years old and it was under very strange circumstances where the match was very frustrating with Scott Hall because the guy he was supposed to wrestle said he couldn't take his finish. He was a little frustrated wrestling with Jeff and that ended up working in Jeff's favor because he formed a little bond with him after that. The next night, I was wrestling with him and I remember he said, 'When I'm in the corner, poke me in the eyes, give me three or four chops, I'll turn around and give you some,' and I got two really good ones in that rang out loud in the arena. I hit a second one and he stopped me right then and there and turned me around and said, 'Easy kid, you had two really good ones, I couldn't let you outshine me out there though.'" In addition here's another Hardy interview.

We're sad to report the death of wrestler and actor Howard "Pepper" Martin at 85 years old on March 18th. (WO) Martin reached the greatest success in the squared circle in the Pacific Northwest and California, where he held multiple regional NWA titles, but non-wrestling fans may remember him best as the bully who beat up Clark Kent in Superman II when he was depowered (but Superman got revenge at the end). Martin had been suffering from a battle with cancer and was in hospice care before he passed. Our condolences to his family, friends and fans.

On his podcast Gangrel talks about owning the trademark to his name: "I ended up getting the rights to Gangrel. Its trademark is registered everywhere for sports entertainment, clothing lines, action figures, for whatever. I have it now, I have the trademark registry to Gangrel. I think stuff like that pisses Vince McMahon off personally and in a corporate sense. To avoid all of that, they just give people their own names, they just messed up on that one. They don't want you to take what they've spent three years investing, which is kind of crappy on their part but it's just business, and go somewhere else. They want you to have to go change your name. It's just a business thing for them. I gotta stay on it and keep filing things."

From WWE.

Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal got into a fight at Miami Beach restaurant Papi Steak on Monday night. Masvidal allegedly jumped him outside the establishment after he was done eating, and the social media evidence seems to back that play as Masvidal called it the "show your face challenge," implying that "when you talk that shit, you gotta back it up."

Impact Wrestling's Savannah Evans talks about her WWE tryout: "This tryout was unique in that it was not only during the pandemic, it was an all-female tryout. We didn't have it at the regular PC, they had it as the back up PC. It was basically two rings in a room and smaller office off to the side. There we about eight or nine of us in the ring, we had our masks on, the coaches were there and they drilled us on conditioning, cardio, and see how well we moved and took instructions. We did some rolls, cardio, and promos at the end."

Trey Miguel talks about the "Forbidden Door" in wrestling: "The main thing that makes today's wrestling so special is how willing companies are to work with each other. You see AEW popping up at New Japan, New Japan popping up at Impact. You don't really see Impact guys popping up anywhere else, people don't fuck with us like that. It's cool. People want to drop in on us, but we don't get to go nowhere."

Paige VanZant talks about her meeting with WWE: "I did know that my career would take me into pro wrestling eventually. I wasn't sure what venue that would be, if that would be WWE, or if that would be AEW. I've been a fan of both. So I actually did make it out about a year ago to the WWE Headquarters. You know, they had a different plan for what they wanted for me, whereas AEW I am so excited that they were happy to partner with me and let me continue to fight MMA, continue to do bare-knuckle boxing. They are really honestly on board to just build my career, build me as a wrestler, and still let me be myself."
