Original Plans For New WWE Tag-Team Titles, Danielson Issues
– As reported earlier, Bryan Danielson has canceled some of his indy dates due to signing with WWE. One of those shows he backed out of was a NYWC show. They sent out this statement last night: NYWCwrestling.com is sorry to report that due to a WWE commitment on August 28th he is being forced to cancel his appearance with the NYWC at "Draw the Line" in Deer Park. The NYWC is doing everything in it's power to try and find a suitable replacement for Mr. Danielson. We understand the disappointment our fans must feel at this moment and NYWC is feeling that disappointment right along with you, Anyone interested in a refund for this event can email NYWCSales@aol.com. We hope to still see all of you in Deer Park on August 28th and we promise to do everything in our power to make it a show not to be missed.
– Danielson also canceled his scheduled appearance for Boston's MWF 9th anniversary show on September 19th, despite already accepting a deposit. MWF wants WWE management to have Danielson honor his commitment.
– The Ticketmaster presale for the November 1st RAW at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York is set for tomorrow at 9AM. The password is NEXUS.
– The new WWE Tag Team title belts Bret Hart presented to the Hart Dynasty last night were actually going to be used as the new Unified Tag Team Titles. The plan had been set for weeks for Hart to present the titles to his "family" with the idea being to get rid of dual sets of tag titles to make it easier to travel with them and to create a design that would be better for replicas and licensing. It was Vince McMahon's call to go back to calling the Tag Team champions "WWE Champions" again. The new belts feature two Roman Centurion helmets on the main plate and the WWE logo on the secondary plates, you can check it out by clicking here.
