FREE UPDATE: TNA Notes, Indi Hartwell, Squared Circle Expo
Added 2025-04-28 14:20:27 +0000 UTCTNA
Indi Hartwell's signing was announced by TNA on April 27. Fightful Select had reported earlier in the month that a number of international signings hadn't been announced. Hartwell was in the process of being signed as far back as a full month ago, and it was finalized around that time.
Those that we spoke to said that Leon Slater appeared to be okay backstage after his insane Ultimate X spot.
Squared Circle Expo
Zilla Fatu was a no-show for this weekend's Squared Circle Expo.
Mick Foley's appearance during the Shazza McKenzie and Frank the Clown vs. Tony Atlas match was set up by Frank and a surprise even to the promoter.
Fightful procured interviews with Prince Nana, Brittnie Brooks, Deonna Purrazzo, Hollyhood Haley J, Matt Cardona, NWA Champion Kenzie Paige, Big Trouble Ben Bishop, Missa Kate, Shazza McKenzie and Zoe Lucas.
We're told that the three longest lines at Squared Circle Expo were Bret Hart, Will Ospreay and Joe Hendry. Sources close to WWE and Fanatics stated that Hendry's merch also sold incredibly well during WrestleMania week.
Fightful Presents will have a new episode this week covering WCW Backstage Assault. The early access is on tier 2.
Sean Ross Sapp was joined by wrestler Lord Crewe (aka @CreweDay) for some Cincinnati Bengals talk.
Additional News
Luchasaurus was in attendance at the Knicks game Sunday, in mask.
Those that we spoke to within WWE said that they haven't heard discussion of Tetsuya Naito being brought in since the announcement of his NJPW departures.
Fightful had a recent interview with Steve Maclin from Joel Pearl that went up this weekend.
