Also signed to compete include: MJF, Jason Cade with several more matches showcasing today and tomorrow's best wrestlers to be announced in the coming days and weeks.
- GFW / Impact star Laurel Van Ness took to Twitter and blasted a promoter for how he was handling booking her.
"Promoters, NO you can not just pay me what YOU think is fair," she wrote. "It's unbelievably disrespectful to assume you can pay me what YOU want. Why? Because I'm female? Women are now bringing to the table just as much, if not MORE, than any male. Women are drawing crowds. Women are putting on main events. So no, I will not take your $50 to go out there & put my body at risk, because you don't care to ask me how much I charge. Oh and, DEAR PROMOTER: Welcome to 2017."
- Speaking of Laurel Van Ness, she teased the launch of her upcoming website on Instagram with the post below:
