News & notes

 As proof that real injuries do happen in professional wrestling, Meghan Bayne, the current Immortal Championship Wrestling women's champion, is out until November at the latest after suffering a torn ACL in a recent match out of town. The Immortal troupe has or had an event scheduled in St. Johnsville this month, a fund raiser for their fire department. If they hit the home town again this year, maybe ye scribe can check into it.
==============================================
Meanwhile, Big Time Wrestling, not to be confused with the show built around the Sheik's promotion in Detroit a lifetime ago, hits the Washington Avenue Armory on Sunday, March 13 at 7:30 pm. Newly crowned NWA champion Matt Cardona (formerly Zack Ryder in WWE 2007-2019) and Brian Myers (formerly Curt Hawkins, currently with Impact Wrestling) will team to face the Hardy Boys, Matt & Jeff, who will pair up for the first time in 3 years. Cardona put the word out himself on Twitter on Monday. The current BTW champion, Richard Holliday, appears nationally for Major League Wrestling, and will defend his title vs. Rochester native Colin Delaney, whom some of you might remember from his days as a TV jobber for WWE's version of ECW. Bring your ear plugs, because the acoustics in the Armory probably haven't changed since the last NXT card there in 2019.
===============================================
Lansingburgh won the Class B men's bowling sectionals Tuesday at Boulevard Bowl, clipping Colonial Council rival Schalmont by a mere 26 pins. As an indicator of what kind of winter season it's been, outside of basketball, LaSalle finished dead last.
===============================================
Whatever good fortune RPI's women's hockey team had at the start of the season is long gone. The Lady Engineers were shutout, 4-0, by Quinnipiac in a twilight game at the Houston Field House on Tuesday. RPI falls to 9-21 overall (5-15 ECAC).
