A reader of this blog called Dave Meltzer's bluff, and Meltzer punked out.

Reader Jeremy Neal sent this to me and asked if I could do something with it. So I am. :) As you can see Meltzer again ran his mouth and Jeremy called him on it.

According to Mr. Neal Meltzer has since gone very silent in replying now. Imagine that, LOL.  Meltzer has his bluff card called and Meltzer folded and punked out, LOL!

Like I said before, it doesn't seem to take much to make Meltzer look like an idiot.

On Wednesday Night, William Patrick Corgan (aka Billy Corgan) was confronted by Jocephus about his NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title match with Tim Storm that took place in Clarksville, TN at Tried N true Pro Wrestling. Our cameras were waiting at Corgan's recording session to capture the confrontation.

in 1994, the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title was thrown down moments after Shane Douglas won it at the corner of Swanson and Ritner. This was the rebel act of ECW that officially christened them Extreme Championship Wrestling. On that night, National Wrestling Alliance was declared dead by Shane Douglas. in November of 2017, NWA Worlds Champion Tim Storm carried the Ten Pounds of Gold back into the former ECW Arena (2300 Arena) by the invite of ECW Original Tommy Dreamer. This episode of Ten Pounds of Gold covers that day.

Tim Storm's journey as the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion has brought him into the limelight. With challengers like Nick Aldis and Jocephus looming, on this night at Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore - another challenger emerged. The story of the Ten Pounds of Gold and the men who have held it can not be discussed without mentioning Shane Douglas. What happened when our cameras approached Shane? What is next for the famous Ten Pounds of Gold?

JOHN CENA BEING SUED BY FORD

WXYZ in Detroit is reporting that the Ford Motor Company have a lawsuit in US District Court against John Cena regarding violation of a contract with the automaker regarding the sale of a  $500,000 custom Ford GT super car. The multi-time WWE champion signed a deal to retain the car for at least two years as an ambassador for the brand. Apparently, according to the article, John quickly sold the car to liquidate for cash to take care of expenses.

 Both sides released statements.

Ford saying the following:

"Mr. Cena has unfairly made a large profit from the unauthorized resale flip of the vehicle, and Ford has suffered additional damages and losses, including, but not limited to, loss of brand value, ambassador activity and customer goodwill due to the improper sale."

John Cena learned of the violation and had the following response:

"I completely understand and as stated am willing to work with Ford to make it right. My sincerest apologies."

NXT TO AIR ON THE USA NETWORK

The USA website is listing that NXT will air on their network on Wednesday 12/13 at 7 p.m.  It has been picked up by many cable guides includling Comcast, which owns USA, FIOS and DirecTV.  It precedes the movie Thor.

It's possible that it's a mistake, but it's also the week that WWE takes over the USA Network so it's also just as possible that they will get a national showing of the great NXT product.  The fact that USA is listing it by name is interesting.

If this is indeed NXT's show that will air it will be the first time that the current incarnation of the product airs on the USA Network.

VINCE RUSSO ONCE AGAIN SHOWS WHY HE IS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUSINESS

Somebody tweeted a gif from the Pete Dunne/Mark Andrews vs. Trent Seven/Tyler Bate match on NXT last night where Andrews did an Hurracanrana on Bate into Dunne who finished him with a powerbomb.

Vince Russo then tweeted: "Yeah---THAT would happen if the match was real. Suspension of disbelief is forever gone in professional wrestling. And that's why all the casuals went bye-bye. Only the marks and the kids remain."

Pete Dunne responded: "If you're that worried about suspending disbelief you wouldn't tweet stuff like this. #Hypocrisy"

Fit Finlay then tweeted: "@PeteDunneYxB don’t let idiots trying to keep themselves relevant and who couldn’t even put a headlock on derail you on your journey. #fastTalkingLoudMouth. Yes you @THEVinceRusso"

Russo replied back: "Because I'm a wrestling fan of 45 years and I have an opinion that equates to me being an idiot who's trying to stay relevant? No reason to insult me because your opinion differs from mine. EXACT reason WWE has lost all casual fans-this same kind of disrespect over their opinion."

Finlay replied: "I never told you my opinion. Why deflate young guys navigating their way through this business?"

JIMMY JACOBS TALKS REHAB, END OF HIS WWE RUN, MARIA KANELLIS BLOGS ABOUT THE MOMENT HER HUSBAND ADMITTED A PRESCRIPTION PILL ADDICTION

During his appearance on Chris Jericho's podcast this week, former WWE Creative Team member Jimmy Jacobs revealed that he put himself in a 30 day rehab for a opiate addiction following Wrestlemania 33 earlier this year.  As we noted in our reporting of his departure at the time, Jacobs "had taken some time off to deal with a personal issue before returning to work this past summer, and that may have put a target on his back."  Rehab was the reason. 

Jacobs said that after he went through rehab, he didn't care as much about the job or about working for WWE and when asked if he was trying to get fired by taking a photo with the Young Bucks he commented he wasn't trying to get fired, but wasn't trying to not get fired either.

Maria Kanellis Bennett wrote an incredible blog on her Facebook page discussing the trials and tribulations when she learned about her husband Michael Kanellis revealing that he was struggling with prescription medication and needed help.  Here is an excerpt, but it's really worth reading the entire thing;

The day that everything changed, I was about 2 weeks pregnant. We, of course, didn’t know I was pregnant. We were supposed to go to Universal Studios, my favorite place ever, and Mike was not getting out of bed. I went to the gym. He was supposed to be ready to switch hotels for our mini vacation when I got back. I came back and he was still was in bed. I was frustrated and I didn’t think I could take it anymore. He promised he would be ready. He promised to have a fun day with me. And still, he laid in bed. I think about all the things, I did for him and I think I am finally ready to have the horrible talk about the D word. Finally, an hour later he brings his stuff down to the lobby. We head to lunch. I’m pissed and he is grumpy. It’s too late to go to Universal Studios and then he says he can’t afford a ticket to go tomorrow. WHAT? Now, going to Universal Studios and paying for a ticket may be understandable but the repeated failure to pay for things was not. Health insurance, rent, cable, gas, electric, or a grocery store run was usually paid for by me. What happened to equality? I was always the haughty woman that said she would never be with someone that treated her as, less than. And now this, something I looked forward to, I was done. Or I thought I was…

We fight, I cry, he gets real quiet.

“I don’t wanna die,” he says through tears. “I think I have a problem
