A Hall of Fame wrestler who was part of an iconic tag team…has died.

Jack Lanza won singles championships during his career…but he is most famous for his time as one-half of The Blackjacks.

Jim Ross noted on Twitter that Lanza was also the WWF’s lead agent backstage during the Attitude Era.

Blackjack Lanza was 86.

The Best Friends are whole once again. Trent made a dramatic return from injury during last night’s Dynamite, arriving in a minivan driven by his mom Sue.

Trent ran off the SuperKliq, who were delivering a beatdown after the Young Bucks beat the tandem of Chuck Taylor & Rocky Romero. The Bucks put away Romero with the Meltzer Driver.

MJF will face Dante Martin on next week’s Dynamite for the Dynamite Diamond Ring. They were the last two men left in the ring at the end of the Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale last night.

The last elimination came when Martin turned on Ricky Starks and tossed him out. So, Martin’s very brief tenure in Team Taz is apparently already over.

Riho beat Jamie Hayter.

Jurassic Express & the Varsity Blonds beat The Acclaimed & 2point0. Jungle Boy forced Max Caster to submit to the Snare Trap.

Later, Malakai Black made a surprise appearance and sprayed mist into the face of Julia Hart.

The time has finally come…to SEND HOOK. The son of Taz will make his in-ring debut on Friday’s Rampage against Fuego Del Sol.

There will also be an AEW Tag Title Match between the Lucha Brothers and FTR.

AEW will hold the Revolution pay-per-view on Sunday, March 6th…at the Alliance Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida.
