Leon Slater vs. Ricochet was supposed to be one of the biggest matches of WrestleMania weekend, but it got pulled at the last minute and now WrestleCon promoter Michael Bochicchio is pushing back on rumors about why it happened. Slater had been set to face Ricochet at the WrestleCon Mark Hitchcock Memorial Supershow, but TNA removed him from the match last week, citing partner conflicts. After that, fans started speculating that the match was canceled because Slater wasnt supposed to lose. Bochicchio says that idea isnt true at all. While speaking with John Pollock and Wai Ting of POST Wrestling, Bochicchio said both sides already approved the finish, and Slater wasnt booked to lose in the first place. Bochicchio also said the way he found out about the match being canceled caught him off guard. Instead of hearing it directly from TNA right away, he said he first saw the news online before getting a message shortly before their pay-per-view. There has been talk online that WWE might have had something to do with the match getting pulled, but Bochicchio said he doesnt think that was the case. Instead, he believes the situation may have changed because of outside business issues and scheduling tensions. With Slater vs. Ricochet off the table, WrestleCon quickly booked a new main event featuring The Demand taking on Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, and Michael Oku. Still, many fans are left wondering what really caused the original match to fall apart. Do you think Leon Slater vs. Ricochet should have stayed on the card, or was pulling the match the right move?
