Press Release: Renee Michelle Returns To Training After Knee Surgery
Renee Michelle is back at the Team Vision Dojo!
After suffering a horrible knee injury last Summer that required surgery to repair a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus, it’s been a few months since Team Vision Dojo’s Renee Michelle has been able to get into the squared circle.
That has now changed as The Chairshot was issued the following press release detailing Renee Michelle’s return to the Dojo as she eyes a full return in April:
Renee Michelle returned to the Team Vision Dojo to help out and train for an April return. Renee torn her ACL, MCL, and medial meniscus back in July which required surgery to repair it. This is the ring time Renee has been in the ring since the surgery, and she was moving pretty well. Renee was very positive and we’re happy to have her back as part of the team.

My Thoughts:
Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.
Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.
In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
