Barry Darsow, who wrestled as Smash and Repo Man, then joined Eadie and others in the CTE class action lawsuit against WWE. That lawsuit was also dismissed by a judge with the plaintiffs getting absolutely nothing from it. They wrestled for WWE from 1987 until 1991 and are former three-time WWF Tag Team champions.

RITA CHATTERTON REVEALS SHE WAS UNDER AEW DEAL FOR A YEAR

- Rita Chatterton, the first WWE female referee who claims that she was raped by Vince McMahon in the back of a limo and recently reached a multi-million dollar agreement with McMahon, revealed in an interview on the Power & Glory The Podcast that she was signed to an AEW contract for a whole year and did absolutely nothing. The 68-year-old said that in 2021 when she received the International Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame Trailblazer Award, its President, Seth Turner, informed her that there was a guy with the name of Tony Khan who wanted her phone number. Chatterton admitted that she had no idea who Khan was and was told that she should take his call if he rings. Khan rang, but she did not answer as she did not recognize the number but then she called back and it was indeed Khan. "So Tony and I had a nice long talk, and I was under contract with him for a year. Very nice man. Gentleman. Very, very nice man," she said. Chatterton revealed that she was listed as a talent scout for AEW but said that she didn't do one cent of work and the only thing she did was attend a couple of Jacksonville Jaguars games. “You know what, I was under contract for a year and I did absolutely nothing. I did absolutely nothing," she said laughing. "But he wanted me under contract, so I was under contract with him." Chatterton was back in the news in late 2022 when she and McMahon reached an agreement over the rape allegation, an allegation that McMahon continues to refuse to this day. He later said that he settled to avoid a costly litigation.

JOSH MATHEWS AND CHRISTY HEMME DEPART TNA

- Longtime TNA Wrestling employees Josh Mathews and Christy Hemme have departed the company. In a statement announcing the arrival of Carlos Silva as new TNA Wrestling President, TNA also said, "Josh Mathews and Christy Hemme are no longer with the Company. We appreciate their commitment to TNA throughout the years, and wish them well in their future endeavors." Mathews joined TNA in 2014 after he left WWE and served as Senior Producer and Senior Director of Digital Media. He also worked in the commentary booth for TNA until the 2021 Hard to Kill pay-per-view. Meanwhile, Hemme leaves after she returned to the company in 2022. She originally joined TNA in 2006 and stayed there for a decade before returning to the company to work on their social media properties.

ROH GLOBAL WARS RETURNS

- Ring of Honor will be taping AEW/ROH Global Wars this weekend in Brisbane, Australia as part of the Grand Slam television broadcast on Saturday. Four matches are being taped for this future broadcast with Chris Jericho, Big Bill, and Bryan Keith vs Bandido and The Outrunners in a six-man tag match, ROH Pure champion Lee Moriarty vs Robbie Eagles, ROH Tag Team champions Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara vs MxM Collection, and ROH Women’s champion Athena vs Alex Windsor. No date was announced as to when and where this will air but the ROH HonorClub streaming service seems to be the most logical place since that's where all ROH programming airs. Global Wars was an event held multiple times a year by ROH from 2012 until 2019. It was originally named Border Wars but underwent the name change two years after its inception when ROH and NJPW announced a partnership.
