New Japan star David Finley, son of Fit Finlay, wrote on Twitter that he has a torn labrum. That's the same injury Finn Balor had last summer, so he is looking at time off.

For those who have asked, EVOLVE has secured a new ring for their show today in San Antonio, Texas after the ropes broke three times last night. Peter Kasaa is said to be doing OK after his scary fall. The main event with Chris Hero vs. Keith Lee saw both the top and the middle ropes break in two equally frightening moments. The fact the company got through the show with no major injuries is a miracle and really, that ring should be burned in a viking funeral. There is absolutely no excuse for talents, especially on a stage the one EVOLVE tries to project itself as being on, to be competing in a ring that poor especially with the Flosports deal and money coming in. I'm glad to see the company took initiatives to fix the situation because while the Hero vs. Lee match was certainly more unique and different once they had to start improvising, it was also a more dangerous environment and I doubt that the last thing Hero or WWE or even Gabe Sapolsky wanted was for Hero to get hurt right before going back to WWE full-time. One of the reasons WWE stopped allowing talents to take third party in-ring bookings in the late 1990s was a talent getting hurt in a faulty ring (I believe in Puerto Rico) so any promotions looking to work with WWE should make sure all their equipment is up to par, every time.
