It was reported yesterday that popular indy tag team The Young Bucks were hit with a cease and desist letter from WWE which banned the team from using the “too sweet” hand gesture and other licensed properties from WWE. Pro Wrestling Sheet made a point to mention that this was an actual cease and desist letter, as opposed to the team’s storyline about WWE giving them cease and desist letters in their Being the Elite YouTube series. The brothers have since posted updates on their Twitter accounts which suggested that they were going to be alright. The initial report mentioned that they are looking over the issues with a lawyer at the moment.
We’re gonna be fine. Love y’all!

Enzo Amore, while being cited as one of the most charismatic performers in WWE today, is also one of the most polarizing wrestlers in the business as well. When WWE decided to have Amore win the Cruiserweight Championship from Neville at No Mercy, nearly every fan sounded off with an opinion on the title change. Regardless of WWE’s supposed plan to have Amore help elevate 205 Live, it may be a moot point anyway, because Enzo has plans to start a rap career. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Enzo definitely has his sights set on becoming a rapper someday. While he did perform the vocals on his entrance music, Amore’s ring name and the song are both owned by WWE, so he would not be able to use either of them.
During the Cruiserweight Classic tournament on the WWE Network last summer, tons of fans were introduced to a young British grappler named Jack Gallagher. He was viewed as one of the more entertaining wrestlers in the tournament, so WWE signed “The Extraordinary Gentleman” to a contract just in time for the launch of the cruiserweight division on Raw. Figure Four Films and Paragon Pictures have announced that they will be showing “An Extraordinary Gentleman”, a documentary by Adam Gill which shows Gallagher’s journey from the independent circuit all the way to becoming WWE’s first wrestler from Manchester. The film will be showing at the Fab Cafe on 111 Portland Street, Manchester on November 5th.
