Mickie James' WWE deal is said to be a three year contract.

Drew Gulak is 100% signed and sealed and is closing out his independents dates.

WWE is absolutely in signing mode right now. We are told that the company is working harder than ever to evaluate and watch the independent scene, to the point that WWE is now watching iPPVs and doing complete agent's reports on them (similar to reports WWE create for their own live events to track talents and how they are improving) so they can track talents from afar. I was told you can expect a lot of talent acquisitions in the first quarter of 2017.

WWE already has a new crop of talents set to report to the Performance Center on 1/3. Heidi Lovelace, Kimber Lee, Nixon Newell and Cheree Crowley (aka Evie) are all expected to be signed and reporting on that date.

There is already another Performance Center tryout week set for early February.

I believe WWE just signed the complete CHIKARA female roster

Well it was reported months ago that WWE were looking into the CHIKARA females. They obviously just thought "fuck it, we'll have them all"

The monopoly is returning!

"We want them, we'll buy them, fuck everyone else !"

The more I think about it, the more that they do that forces CHIKARA to move away from the craptastic stuff that was 2015 for them is better for CHIKARA in the long run. I enjoyed Heidi, but I was well sick and tired of Kimber Lee. I just wish WWE had taken Jervis Cottonbelly away, too, so I would have to deal with him anymore.
