Funny how no wrestling news site mentioned THIS! Impact Wrestling Invades Great North Wrestling

But that's ok, I'll show it to you since the other 'well known' wrestling sites  like PWInsider, Wrestlinginc or the F4/Wrestling Observer won't bother(That is until they find out I posted this and then they'll play catch up to me, again :) )

Guess my Bram shirt has now become a collective item, LOL.

Thomas Latimer aka Bram announced today via Twitter that he is the latest in a long line of talents to receive a release from Impact Wrestling:


Latimer hasn't been used by the company, with the exception of a Pro Wrestling NOAH tour designed to put he and Robbie E together as a team, since March of this year.  Of late, he's been working for ICW in Europe.

There is a lot of cost cutting within the company right now to a ridiculous degree and I don't expect Latimer to be the last to exit the company this month.

Puff Daddy (or P. Diddy, whatever he's calling himself today) thought he HAD a great idea, BUT..

Realized that maybe he should keep his 'great ideas' to himself.

Posted from multiple wrestling sites.

Musician Diddy has announced he is backing off on his plan to change his stage name to Brother Love.  Apparently, he heard everyone that rolled their eyes and pointed at Bruce Prichard after he made the announcement.

Sharing another writer's View on Impact Wrestling paying people to attend their tapings.

I very much agree with this guy here from The pro Wrestling Torch. I even left a comment on this as well there. here's where you can see this guy's views and my comments. https://www.pwtorch.com/site/2017/11/06/impact-wrestling-searching-paid-extras-tv-tapings-week-wmcmahons-analysis/#comment-72769

I'm not the only one covering this Impact paying people to come to their shows story.

Years ago Tito Santana and SGT Slaughter had the AWF and they paid "Non-Wrestling fans" 5o0 bucks each to attend their tapings, LMAO! So this isn't the first time a company has tried to pay people because their product sucks so bad.

LOL! Impact Wrestling is so desperate to fill seats at their tapings this week they do, THIS. Get paid to attend this weeks impact tapings.
