    Two Members of Lucha House Party Publicly Tease "Free Agency" in 10 Months

    Posted: 19 Aug 2019 11:49 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/2-3rds-of-lucha-house-party-tease-the-end-of-their-contracts/


    Former WWE U.S. Champion Kalisto took to Twitter to announce that he is
    just 10 months away from being a free agent.

    At a time when many are either re-signing or jumping ship, the 205 Live superstars plans are currently unknown, but hes not the only member of
    Lucha House Party with a contract set to expire within the year.

    Gran Metallik (formerly known as Mascara Dorado) responded to Kalisto
    stating his contract with WWE was also set to expire in just 10 months. 

    Interestingly enough there has been some teasing recently on 205 Live of
    the Lucha House Party splitting up, with Metalik being attacked and
    replaced by Humberto Carrillo this past week, and others trying to get in
    Lince Dorados ear to convince him to split from the rest of the team.

    Dynasty & Hart Foundation to Clash for World Tag Titles at MLW: War Chamber

    Posted: 19 Aug 2019 11:11 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/hart-foundation-set-to-settle-score-with-the-dynasty/


    MLW issued the following:

    Hart Foundation challenge Dynasty in 2/3 Falls World Tag Team Title Bout
    signed for Dallas



    For the first-time in MLW history the World Tag Team Titles will be
    contested in a 2/3 falls encounter as MLW makes its Dallas area debut.

    MLW today announced The Hart Foundation (Teddy Hart & Davey Boy Smith Jr.) vs. The Dynasty in a 2/3 Fall World Tag Team Title Bout for MLW: War Chamber at the NYTEX Sports Centre in the greater Dallas/Ft. Worth area on September 7. The event will be a MLW FUSION TV taping for beIN SPORTS.

    Tickets start at $10 at http://www.MLWTickets.com.

    For weeks many have asked how the Dynasty could block a contractually
    obligated title rematch for the Hart Foundation.  Simple: the Dynasty had
    the good fortune of Richard Hollidays family of lawyers who added some fine print in the contract: a morals clause.

    Citing Teddy Harts extracurricular activities, MJF and Holliday quickly invoked said morals clause. Thus seemingly ending the Hart Foundations pursuit of their newly won championship gold.

    That was until Teddy Hart 1-upped them with a little leverage.

    During a contentious conference call hosted by the league and featuring the Hart Foundation and the Dynasty (and their lawyers), Teddy reminded
    MJF about the time the Hart Foundation went joy-riding in MJFs new car this past spring.

    As documented on an episode of H2tv (WATCH), Teddy found something
    scandalous in MJFs glove compartment.  something he would not want the
    world to know about.  MJF quickly jumped in on the conference call to interrupt Teddy before anything could be revealed and caved on the rematch.

    Scrambling to keep Teddy quiet, MJF quickly moved to sign the contract and
    end the league hosted arbitration  hearing.

    Sensing blood in the water, Davey Boy Smith Jr. demanded a stipulation to ensure the Dynastys meddling would not impact the title fight in the form
    of making the match a 2 out-of 3 fall bout.

    MJF, livid but panicked and despite Holliday and lawyers, agreed to the stipulation in exchange for the Harts signing a nondisclosure agreement to never reveal whatever MJF had in the glove compartment of his car.

    While a strange turn of events has led to this title match, Dallas will now
    see what could be the final encounter between the Hart Foundation and The Dynasty as championship gold weighs in the balance.

    See this match LIVE September 7. Buy your tickets today at MLWgo.com.

    Today is a new beginning for both @theartemc and I. As I start a new
    amazing journey with @totalbellas and my life, my @theartemc is starting
    the same. And I am so excited for him to be on this journey with me. I’m thankful for him to showcase his life, love, ups and downs not only for me
    but for my Bella Army and my Total Bellas viewers. Sometimes we have a door shut and we don’t understand why, but honestly there is always a reason. I have been through that. And not through that just as a break up but through that professionally and personally. And when those other doors open they
    open SO big! Believe in God, the Universe, our Angels and so much greater beyond what we can see. Believe that happiness lies beyond dollar signs. As long as we have each other, health, happiness and love they can’t cheat us, use us or cause us harm. I love you all! I love your support! Your follow!
    Your positivity! And thank you for sharing it with someone who means SO
    much to me.
