—

Moose will not currently be at the May 13th Maverick Pro show despite having been announced for the show. He was scheduled to face Kevin Kross.

—

Douglas James versus Martin Casaus (Marty “The Moth” Martinez from Lucha Underground) has been announced for the May 13th Maverick Pro show. Scorpio Sky has also been announced as making his Maverick Pro debut on that date.

—

Maverick Pro was upset that Championship Wrestling from Hollywood booked Brittany Blake for their April 23rd “Coastline Clash.” The reason it is an issue is because Maverick Pro booked her for their show the night before and covered the full cost of her travel to the area. Booking a wrestler that another promotion is flying in without covering a portion of the travel is considered bad form.
