Powell’s POV: Steve Maclin was originally scheduled to team with Bully Ray, but he was pulled from the show due to an injury suffered on the company’s tour of Australia. Deaner was announced as his replacement on Monday. Meanwhile, PCO was advertised as D’Amore’s partner, but they closed the Slammiversary go-home show with D’Amore calling a mystery person and saying that PCO can’t come back to life this time. D’Amore asked the mystery person if he can, then picked up a Team Canada jacket.
Slammiversary will be available via pay-per-view television and FITE.TV. The listed price on DirecTV is $39.95 while FITE TV is charging $39.99.

So Eric Young is returning as Scott Damore’s partner? I hope so.
Also, I attended a Real Action Wrestling show where Scott Damore wrestled as a heel. We were having a garbage strike at the time. Scott said “I see how they are dealing with garbage problem. They decided to pile it up in the audience. And that guy right there is the biggest piece of trash here” and he pointed at me. He is not only a great heel, but also a keen judge of character.
