Don’t expect to see Colt Cabana in ROH anytime soon, as he will have to wait for his 90-day no-compete clause to expire. He could begin working for the company in May.

NOTE FROM RYAN CLARK: I hope you all had a good weekend! It was a great night for fight fans Saturday night as we had a free UFC event on SpikeTV and a boxing PPV which featured both Cotto and Pavlik. Both were pretty good shows although I’d have to say UFC was the winner Saturday night. As everyone who reads this website knows by now, WrestleMania 25 is just weeks away – six to be exact. Things are really going to get busy here on the site during the next few weeks leading into and after ‘Mania. This is always a super-busy time of the year for us. I will continue to be here on a daily basis covering the news and rumors for all of you. I expect lots more news in the coming weeks which means you’ll likely need to be on the site more in order to keep up. Thanks for your continued support of the website guys. I can’t thank you enough as it means the world to us. I know it sounds lame but you guys are truly the ones who keep us going. With that said, lets get ready to rock n’ roll w/ MORE news, rumors, spoilers, and of course – WRESTLEMANIA 25! Also, if you’ve ever got any newsbits that you’d like to send in or anything you’d like to ask me, please feel free to do so by emailing me at Webmaster@ProWrestlingSCOOPS.com I try to reply to all emails within a few days but I do get a bunch so it may take some time.
