This footage was taken during the main event at GS127.
[The shot opens backstage in the parking lot. A limo pulls up to the side of the building. The driver's door opens and out walks the limo driver. He walks to the back of the limo and opens up the back door. A few moments later, Jordan Keyser emerges from the back of the limo. He smiles as he looks towards the building. The shot zooms out to show Brad Johnson walking away from the building.]
Brad Johnson – Jordan.
Jordan Keyser – Mr. Johnson. Please, after you.
[He motions towards the limo. Johnson pats him on the shoulder as he walks passed him and enters the back of the limo. The cameraman tries to swing the camera around to show who else was in the limo, if anyone, but Keyser pushes them away and enters the car. The door closes and the limo driver walks back to the front of the car. He opens the door, enters, and as he closes the door, he the limo drives away. The scene fades.]
It can only be assumed that, along with Keyser and Johnson, ESN CEO Ben Cash was along with them. With what was seen at GS127, is this a sign that WMW will be leaving STO soon? And if so, what does that mean for the weekly Graveyard Shift broadcasts?

The only injury noted for this week was Shank. During his tag match against John Bundy and Bob Wire, Wire’s chop block not only took Shank off of his feet, but caused Bundy to fall on top of Shank. Shank showed signs of a bruised chest, as well as a bruise on the back of his leg. He’s not expected to miss any ring time, but was noticeably limping during this week’s production meeting.

Hardcore Hell 2010 went down as one of the most devastating supercards in WMW’s history and it didn’t go unnoticed.
The Cleveland Athletic Commission, after learning about the widespread list of injuries that occurred at Hardcore Hell, has launched an investigation into Wrestling Midwest and it’s safety practices.
The big names that topped the list, as reported by Jane Coughlin, were Kronin, Druscilla, Father Nathan and Hecate. All 4 were treated for concussion-like symptoms. Xavier Langston and Bob Wire also sustained head injuries during the show.

At a Hardcore-based supercard, with two last minute matches pitted inside the walls of the Hardcore Hell cage, injuries were most likely expected. Just not at this magnitude.
Hecate, Druscilla, Kronin and Father Nathan all were carted off after their matches. All were hurt bad, but former Great Lakes Champion Druscilla got the worst of the deal. Jane Coughlin reported that Druscilla suffered a severe neck injury. Many fear she could be out for months. Some have speculated that her career could have been prematurely ended that night.
Hecate left her match with multiple lacerations that required stitches, a bruised back and a major concussion. She could be out for the next 2-3 weeks because of the severity of that concussion.
Father Nathan had lost a considerable amount of blood during his match. All though the full extent of his injuries are unknown, it is expected that he’ll miss the next two weeks while doctors continue to monitor him.
New Great Lakes Champion Kronin received a minor concussion during his match, but is overall in good health. He’ll miss the next 1-2 weeks to recover.
Bob Wire received 20 stitches in the back of his head to close a gash that was opened when he went through a table. He is not expected to miss any time.
Xavier Langston suffered a minor concussion during his match and is expected to miss GS127.
