Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News - I'm Oli Davis.
April Fool's Yesterday was, of course, the 1st April.
Also known as both the day CM Punk finally announced his WWE return and...
'April Fool's Day'.
In true trolling fashion, the wrestling world partook in the festivities - with Kenny Omega
finally realising how to improve his in-ring style:
So...
I think I'm gonna start doing more chain wrestling and multiple step up enzuis.
This emotional stuff isn't real pro wrestling.
Before quickly backtracking, remembering that time zones are a thing:
"Forgot that it may not be April 1 everywhere....
😂 My bad, guys and gals!
(Also, let's face it, I don't even know how to chain wrestle)"
While his former Bullet Club buddies capitialised on the joke day in the only way they know
how: with merchandise: "Like we're already not busy enough, we
decided to start a new band!"
Move aside, Bullet Club name and logo.
You were never that cool anyway.
Because The Young Bucks, Hangman Page, Marty Scurll and Cody Rhodes are now also known
as II Sweet, the new pop music sensation from New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
The gag was all really to launch a new range of t-shirts at Hot Topic, which, unfortunately,
doesn't include an accompanying album.
And II Sweet / The Bullet Club might soon be adding a former WCW World Champion to their
ranks.
Tweeted a day before April Fool's - so this could just be normal trolling rather than
annually recurring trolling - David Arquette responded to The Young Bucks by saying he's
"All In".
All In is the name of the Bullet Club-run pay-per-view this September, suggesting the
actor and - just in case it didn't anger you enough the first time I said it - former
WCW World Champion might be at the show.
John Cena Still Calling Out The Undertaker John Cena also got in on the April Fool's
fun, tweeting: "Woke up and phone alerted that I had a
#WrestleMania answer from The Phenom!
My phone's been doing this for 3 hours now.
#AprilFoolsDay Undertaker 1 Cena 0" with the typing image on an iPhone.
This is just the latest post in Cena's social media campaign to bring the Deadman out of
retirement for a WrestleMania match this weekend, previously sharing a photo of Mark Calloway's
pre-Undertaker gimmick Texas Red on his Instagram.
Because none of Cena's gimmicks look stupid in retrospect.
It's a challenge that Taker seems set to answer, either tonight on Raw, as late as
WrestleMania itself, or just in a throwaway tweet from Kurt Angle.
It will give the Deadman at least one more match on the Grandest Stage of Them All - which
could be welcome news for Roman Reigns.
Roman Reigns Blames Himself For Undertaker's Last Match
Undertaker's 'retirement' match against Roman at WrestleMania 33 last year was widely
seen as disappointing, and Reigns has spoken to CBS Sports about how he feels that's
his fault: "For me, what made it so hard was how heavy
it was.
You know, if I wrestled The Undertaker 20 years ago at the beginning or the middle of
his career, probably not.
But the positioning I found myself in, it just felt really heavy and so much more emotional
than I was ready for it to be, so I think that was the hardest thing…
I just feel like maybe I wasn't good enough or maybe it could have been better on my behalf,
but I always hold The Undertaker in so high in that regard that I just feel like maybe
I could have done better."
