FloSlam confirms eight shows for WrestleMania weekend schedule

FloSlam, by way of their mysterious masked Executive X, confirmed this morning that eight of the World Wrestling Network’s More Than Mania shows will be broadcast live on the service on WrestleMania weekend, from March 30 all the way to April 2, mere hours before WrestleMania.

In addition to the two Evolve shows and WWN’s supershow, Mercury Rising, they confirmed that the Sunday morning tailgate shows from American Combat Wrestling and Full Impact Pro would be broadcast, but it doesn’t stop there.

Of the remaining WWN shows of the weekend, Shimmer 91 (April 1, 12PM Eastern) has been confirmed as a traditional iPPV through WWNLive.com, with no word yet on what Progress (March 31, 12PM Eastern) or Chikara (March 31, 8PM Eastern and April 1, 4PM Eastern) are doing for their shows as far as broadcast goes, but you can bet they’ll go up on their own VOD services, Demand Progress and Chikaratopia, if nothing else.

And a note about the tailgates, there— they haven’t been confirmed to be in action, but if you’re there live partaking in the festivities, it ain’t just called a Broken Tailgate for fun. The entire Broken Hardy clan will be in attendance for reasonably priced photo opportunities. How’s that for some 2017 pro wrestling?

There you have it folks

Just look at that Spring Break show. Riddle/Severn alone is a dream match of dream matches, but to bring us Dink, Glacier, and a financially reasonable amount of Earl Hebner? Oughta change his nickname to “Good Boy” Joey Janela, giving us such gifts.

Anybody as excited for TOTAL WRESTLING OVERLOAD as I am, Cagesiders?
