    ‘They need to be consistent’ – Grant hopeful Ulster youngsters can make Ireland mark

    WITH THE IRFU having confirmed the Ireland senior team will have summer Tests against Japan and the USA in July, attention now turns to who will be in Andy Farrell’s squad. Traditionally, summer tours during a British and Irish Lions year are used for blooding young players, and this year will likely be no different with eight Ireland players heading to South Africa, and the expectation is there will be several debutants included by Farrell. For Ulster, there is reason for optimism that several players could get the call. Tighthead prop Tom O’Toole looks to be a certain debutant after backing up Tadhg Furlong and Andrew Porter in the last…

    Impact & Anthem Successfully Get Multiple Parts of Jeff Jarrett’s Lawsuit Dismissed

    Jeff Jarrett and GWE’s lawsuit against Anthem is light a few charges after a judge dismissed certain counts against the Impact parent company. PWInsider reports that the judge in the case dismissed Jarrett and GWE’s allegations of copyright infringement, agreeing with Anthem that since Jarrett and GWE failed to copyright and trademarked their GFW Amped! tapes and Jarrett provided a license for Anthem to use said tapes, there could be no infringement. Anthem had argued on that charge that Jarrett and GWE should have filed their copyrights in order to claim infringement.

    In the latest episode of Chasing Glory, Mick Foley spoke about the freedom the wrestlers had to work on promos and develop their characters in the Attitude era, compared to the heavily-scripted promos the wrestlers are given in the modern era of WWE.

Here are highlights: On Jon Moxley’s grievances with WWE and letting wrestlers try things: “I saw Jon Moxley just a couple of days ago at an event. I didn’t realize how constrained he felt by the format there. And this is…
