International News: 8 May, 2002

Todays news comes from Nate Holynski.

First off sad news to start the day with the passing of former WCW referee Randy "Pee Wee" Anderson. The cause of death is unknown at the current time, he did suffer from a bout of cancer a few years back. We here at Pro Wrestling Queensland send our condolences to the family and friends of Randy Anderson.

News in from 1wrestling.com earlier this morning Australian time says that Scott Hall's contract was terminated by WWE, due to behaviour relating to his drug and alchol abuse during the weekend in Great Britan. Also there will be other big news soon I'd say relating to another incident on the flight back from England involving Michael Hayes having his mullet cut off (LOL "Badstreet USA")... WWE.COM have also released a statment regarding the situation on their site saying it was a mutual agreement between Hall and the WWE.

Sabu will be making an apperance for Zero One on the 23 May, 2002.

Also other results from the 6 May, 2002 saw Ryuji Ito win the BJW Young Lions Cup over Satoshi Makita in the final.

Michinoku Pro 6 May, 2002 from Morioka, Iwate Prefectural Gym:

Regular Army v FEC - Match #3: Gran Hamada 7 Mins 33 Seconds over Macho Pump;
Regular Army v FEC - Match #4: Tiger Mask 15 Mins 28 Seconds over Ikuto Hidaka;
Regular Army v FEC - Match #5: Great Sasuke 16 Mins 29 Seconds over Dick Togo

Undercard not available. All of these 3 matches should have been really enjoyable, espically the fifth match. Togo can still GO....

That's it for now. Thanks, Nate.
