Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News, I am Luke Owen.

a comment down below to answer our question of the day: Who from WWE would you cast in
their film version of Captain Marvel?
I mean I don’t think it will matter, they’ll just replace your choice with Charlotte Flair.
Headline: Bruce Prichard WWE Role Revealed
Last week it was revealed that former Vince McMahon right-hand man Bruce Prichard was
heading back to WWE, essentially to take up the position he previously had in the company.
PWInsider were the first to report that Prichard was back in WWE, saying, “he will be one
of the top point people in the creative team going forward.”
However it was then reported by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer that Prichard’s
position of power had been “a bit overstated”, which has been backed up by POST Wrestling,
who are reporting that the former Brother Love is “a full time employee with a corporate
title” but is not overseeing creative.
And this has seemingly been confirmed by the man himself, who opened up about his role
in the company on the latest episode of Something To Wrestle, saying: “A lot still needs to
be worked out as far as what my role will be.
I’m going to come back and help out wherever I can be most valuable.”
Prichard and co-host Conrad Thompson also announced that the podcast will continue - despite
Thomson’s connections to All Elite Wrestling - but they won’t be doing any live shows
after their already announced dates.
Headline: Dana Warrior Backstage At Raw
It was also reported last week by Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet that WWE ambassador
and wife of the late Ultimate Warrior, Dana Warrior has also been hired by WWE to join
their creative team.
Satin reports that Dana Warrior was at the Raw tapings last week to begin work, and has
been hired to give an “additional female perspective”.
Headline: WWE Hall Of Fame Entrants Revealed?
Over the last couple of weeks we’ve heard that this year’s WWE Hall of Fame class
will include D-Generation X and The Honky Tonk Man, and there have also been rumours
that The Hart Foundation and former ECW Champion Taz will also be inducted.
And now WrestleVotes are reporting the final names that will complete the Class of 2019,
and if you want to avoid those names then you can click ahead to the timestamp in this
screen helpfully provided by our editor to skip ahead.
We’ve heading into a Spoiler Room Brawl in 3...2..1.
According to WrestleVotes the last two names going into the WWE Hall of Fame 2019 will
be Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake and Oli Davis’ dream woman Torrie Wilson - who is
still under investigation for the secrets of eternal life as she hasn’t aged a day
in 20 years.
She’s like the female Paul Rudd.
That photo of Paul Rudd is from the mid-90s how is that even possible?!
Headline: Hall Of Fame Changes?
Sean Waltman, who will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of D-Generation X,
spoke on Sam Roberts’ podcast about possible changes that might happen to this year’s
event.
Last year’s Hall of Fame was notable for running very long - with a lot of WWE’s
wrestlers filing out during the evening leaving a fairly empty gap in the seats as Goldberg
closed out the show.
And according to Waltman, there are plans in place to avoid that happening again.
“Things are gonna change.
There may or may not be inductors.
I mean, I've seen some inductors take 30 minutes to give their inductor's speech!”
Headline: Mustafa Ali Returns To In-Ring
Someone who will likely be dressed up in their best suit for that evening will be Mustafa
Ali.
Ali took Smackdown by storm late last year after being called up to the Blue Brand from
205 Live - even pinning WWE Champion Daniel Bryan.
It seemed that Ali was in line for a big push - which reportedly would have culminated in
a WWE Championship match at Fastlane Baby.
However a series of injuries and a concussion suffered at a house show took Ali out of the
Elimination Chamber match - where he was replaced by Kofi Kingston who now looks to be getting
a shot at the title at WrestleMania.
Last week Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Ali was close to
returning to the ring, and he was seemingly closer than expected - as he wrestled at a
house show in Minneapolis against Daniel Bryan in the main event.
Excellent shirt there, Rowan.
Where he will fit into Fastlane Baby plans remains to be seen.
