MARKO STUNT, 90 DAY CLAUSES, MICKIE IN THE RUMBLE AND MORE

By Dave Scherer on 2022-01-18 10:00:00

Where is Marko Stunt? And even though he has not been seen in quite some time, and being a part of Jurassic Express, can he defend the tag titles under the Freebird rule, or do we have to wait?

I heard that he was injured back in October, reportedly a concussion.  Personally, I am glad he is not with The JE right now.  Due to how small he is, I think he makes the team look minor league.  Perhaps Tony Khan agrees as he did not have Stunt come out with JE on the night they won the Titles.  There is a place for him in wrestling, but not with a top act in my opinion.  There is no way a guy that is barely five feet tall and maybe 120 pounds should ever be allowed to defend the Tag Titles.  With that said, he has tweeted that he is trying to get on NBC’s “The Voice” so maybe he is pivoting away from wrestling.

So what's the rules with wrestling with other companies after being with WWE? I see that it was some time before Aleister/Malaki Black appeared on AEW, and The Undisputed Era appearing almost immediately when their contract finished. Is it because one asked for their release, and the others let it expire? Or is it something else?

In general, main roster talent has to wait 90 days after their release to wrestle again (unless OK’d by WWE).  NXT talents have a 30 day wait.

Why does Mickie James want anything to do with WWE given how she left with her belongings being put in trash bags and sent to her?

I can’t speak for her but I guess she puts getting Impact a rub and being in another big match above holding a personal grudge.

Is there a worse promo in WWE than Tamina?

I don’t like doing best/worst contests but yes, she isn’t a great promo.

Why did AXS tv stop airing New Japan?

Once Anthem bought AXS TV, Impact was their preferred wrestling product.  But that has changed and they will be returning this week.
