Mercedes Mone announced for November indie date

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Mercedes Mone has added a new indie date to her November calendar.

The AEW star will be in action for House of Glory in Long Island, New York on Saturday, November 15. An opponent for Mone has not been named yet. The event is titled Superclash and is being held by House of Glory in collaboration with the Big Event Entertainment & Sports Expo convention.

Mone has wrestled for House of Glory once before, defeating Indi Hartwell this March. Hartwell is now the HOG Women’s Champion but has a title defense against Shotzi Blackheart coming up later in November.

Also in November, Mone will be making a trip to Italy for an indie date in Rome. She’ll be defending her Bestya Wrestling Women’s Championship in an open challenge at that November 9 show.

Mone is currently in possession of 12 title belts representing AEW, ROH, CMLL, and a bunch of indie promotions worldwide. She could add more gold to her belt collection when she challenges AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander at Full Gear on November 22.

The House of Glory Superclash show is taking place in Brentwood, New York at Suffolk Credit Union Arena. Shayna Baszler vs. Maki Itoh has already been announced, along with Scarlett Bordeaux & Shotzi vs. Priscilla Kelly & Allie Katch.

Shayna Baszler announced for new indie date

Shayna Baszler is set to compete for indie promotion House of Glory Wrestling next month.

It’s been announced that Baszler will make her House of Glory debut at Superclash on Saturday, November 15. The event is being held in Long Island, New York in collaboration with the Big Event Entertainment and Sports Expo convention. Suffolk Credit Union Arena in Brentwood will be the location for the show.

An opponent for Baszler has not been named yet.

Released by WWE in May, the 45-year-old Baszler is returning to the ring this weekend for her first match in nearly six months. She will face off against Dani Luna at Prestige Wrestling’s show in Portland, Oregon on October 5.

Baszler did make an appearance at WWE NXT’s recent Homecoming special, which took place at Full Sail University and celebrated the history of NXT. Though WWE has hopes of bringing Baszler back in a coaching or producing role, there is nothing in place for that at the moment.

Another former WWE talent — Andrade — will also be making his House of Glory debut at Superclash. He was released from his WWE contract in September.

Starrcast files trademark for ‘SuperClash’

Posted on by Ian Carey

Starrcast has filed to trademark the term “SuperClash” for wrestling purposes. 

SuperClash was a series of wrestling events promoted by the AWA in 1985, 1987, 1988, and 1990. The first AWA SuperClash took place on September 28, 1985, from Chicago’s Comiskey Park. The event featured Ric Flair defending the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Magnum T.A, The Road Warriors vs. The Fabulous Freebirds, and Rick Martel defending the AWA World Championship against Stan Hansen. 

Conrad Thompson’s company submitted the filing on September 7. It comes one month after they filed to trademark the term ‘Southwest Championship Wrestling,’ which was the name of a promotion owned by Joe Blanchard out of San Antonio from 1978 to 1985. 

The purposes of the SuperClash trademark are listed as “Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer; Providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; Providing online interviews featuring professional wrestling and sports entertainers in the field of professional wrestling and sports entertainment for entertainment purposes.” As well as “Hats; Shirts; Bandanas; Shirts and short-sleeved shirts; Sweatshirts; Hooded sweatshirts.”

Thompson alluded to having a “master plan” that he has yet to unveil during an episode of My World with Jeff Jarrett last month. 

“You and I talked about this over a year ago,” Thompson said to Jarrett. “I said, ‘no, I’m not doing wrestling, I’m not promoting wrestling, I’m not negotiating finishes, I don’t want to be involved in the politics.’ I like my lane but this opportunity [Ric Flair’s Last Match] presented itself. The real story that we’re not talking about, we will tell you one day, but this is part of a bigger master plan, and no it does not involve Ric Flair wrestling again but the entrepreneur brain kicked off and I saw an opportunity for Sunday and I said, ‘if I don’t do it, I’ll wonder what if, so let’s do it.’ We rolled the dice, I couldn’t be more tickled with the results.”
