What New Deal Did Cody & Aldis make for NWA Title Match at ALL IN?
Since the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship match was announced for ALL IN back in May, there has been a lot of gamesmanship being played between Nick Aldis and Cody Rhodes.
During recent Ring of Honor events, Cody and Nick Aldis made an agreement that if Cody won the Ring of Honor Worlds Championship, then he would put that title up at ALL IN. When Cody failed to win the ROH Championship at Best in the World, it caused the current NWA Worlds Champion to want to renegotiate.
Now with the Flip Gordon vs. Nick Aldis match in the past, this segment aired on Ring of Honor Wrestling television with Cody calling out Nick Aldis to make a new deal.

STING DISCUSSES WHETHER HE IS 100% DONE IN THE RING, AN UNDERTAKER MATCH, HOLDING OFF FOR SO LONG ON COMING TO WWE AND LOTS MORE
In the newest episode of “Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia”, Lilian sits down with WWE Hall of Famer, Sting:
Growing up with his dysfunctional family: “My mom tried to get us to go to church on Sundays and my Dad didn’t want to have anything to do with it and we didn’t want to go to church. We wanted to go to the lake, we wanted to go to the beach, we didn’t want to live by a set of rules, so we thought. We kind of rebelled against the whole church thing and it was just a few pocket of times that I can remember being in Sunday school as a kid with my brother and my sister was really small, Mark was probably an infant at the time. We just rebelled against it. We turned into young adults and got through high school and part way through junior colleges and big universities, but no one ever got any degree or anything like that. We all loved each other, we were all very close, but very dysfunctional. It’s like you couldn’t be around each other for very long.”
Meeting Hulk Hogan without knowing about his star power: “When I grew up, where I grew up in Southern California, we did not have pro wrestling on TV. I didn’t know what it was. I ended up in my early young adult years co-owning a Gold’s Gym in San Fernando Valley with a guy named Ed Connors who was the treasurer of Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach. I managed the gym and I ended up being partners with him and this big big dude with blonde hair would come in and work out and the gym would freak out and say, “Oh my gosh, don’t you know who that is? It’s the guy from the Rocky movie! That’s Hulk Hogan!” I go, “Okay, I know the Rocky movie and I know that guy, but I don’t know who Hulk Hogan is!”
Confessing his infidelity to his wife and finding God in the process: “I confessed everything to my ex-wife. I was honest and truthful. It was horrendous, it was one of the worst moments of my life watching her life blood just come out of her almost, it was just horrendous. God at that point, I said, “Okay, I have given God lip service,” I literally said this prayer, “I’ve given you lip service, oh Lord.” And I had, nothing was real to me. It was like, wave your magic wand and fix everything. He doesn’t care about working with people like that, not from the outside in, but from the inside out. First he wanted my heart, and he never had my heart because it was only lip service until finally August of 1998 when I realized there’s no amount of money, no amount of power, no drug, no woman, no man, no doctor, nothing, nothing is going to fix this horrendous deep dark despair and I have messed lives up everywhere and I cannot fix this on my own. I need some supernatural and I said, “God, I surrender my life to you. Jesus Christ come and live inside my heart.” So that’s what happened to me in August of 1998 when I was at the very peak of my career. Muscle relaxers, pain relievers, alcohol, women, a lifestyle, even language that comes out of my mouth, everything changed radically overnight, and I was watching friends die from this kind of lifestyle over the years.”
What made him not go to WWE at first:
“Number one, WCW would always give me what I asked for. I knew that the commitment that I would have to make with Vince was being gone a lot more, a lot more time on the road, a lot more time away. With WCW at the time, I was able to kind of tailor make my schedule to something that I could tolerate and something that was easier for my family at the time. Financially they always gave me what I wanted, but I was really close to leaving on a few different occasions and I was ready. If WCW didn’t give me what I wanted, then I was willing to take that risk and go to WWE. One of the other reasons why I never did, I always talked about this as well, I at the time-and I still don’t know if it’s accurate or not, but I thought that Vince wanted me as a talent to undermine WCW more than he wanted me as a talent working for him.”
His reaction when he finally came to WWE: “I was shocked at how everyone treated me. I met the entire PR department up there in the big building in Connecticut. I went up there and met everybody and everyone-it wasn’t false, it was real. The enthusiasm, I mean everybody was just pumped to have me there and I felt pretty secure about it. They treated me well and Vince has been nothing but respectful and good to me all these years. By the time I ended up coming up there, he was the same way. When I went up there the first time, he wanted me to come in and say hello to him. He even wanted to produce and direct a lot of my spots that I did.”
If he is done wrestling or not: “Yeah, I’m really done. I mean my neck doesn’t bother me at all. For the first couple of months after the match, I had an ache that would go down to the left side of my neck and down into my left trap. It was like a dull ache that was just there all the time and it was hard to sleep. I don’t have any side effects, any trouble so all I know is the neurosurgeon said, “You are so lucky there wasn’t a catastrophe that happened. I got to be careful and it’s sad too because even at my age I feel like I could still go, I could still have a real good Undertaker match for example. We could tell an incredible story with both the chemics and the mystique of both of them. I’ve had these ideas for 20 years, some of the ideas I have in my head. It would be something that people would talk about for a long time, but I’m satisfied. I’m happy with the way things turned out. I did have my WWE run, it was short, but I had one. I did WrestleMania, I wrestled Seth Rollins, I wrestled for the WWE World Title, so I can’t complain.
Nicoli Volkoff's very last match.
From Battleground Championship Wrestling on 5/5/18 in Feasterville, PA: Jim Duggan & Nikolai Volkoff vs. Nicky Benz & Mecha Mercenary
https://www.rfvideovault.com/media/nikolai-volkoffs-last-match/77527/feature?t=0
NIKOLAI VOLKOFF PASSES AWAY AT 70
Former WWF tag team champion and memorable 1980s wrestling villain Nikolai Volkoff (real name Josip Nikolai Peruzović) passed away Sunday at the age of 70.
Volkoff had spent several days recently in a Maryland hospital where he was being treated for dehydration and other ailments and was recently released.
Volkoff had spent several days recently in a Maryland hospital where he was being treated for dehydration and other ailments and was recently released.
A former weightlifter in Yugoslavia, Volkoff was trained by Stu Hart and eventually found his way to Vince McMahon Sr.'s World Wide Wrestling Federation as Bepo Mongol and won the tag team titles while managed by Captain Lou Albano. He would leave the organization in 1971 and eventually return under the name Nikolai Volkoff, feuding with Bruno Sammartino over the WWWF title.
His most well-known run to mainstream wrestling fans was in the mid-1980s with the Iron Shiek, managed by Fred Blassie. The duo won the tag team titles once and Volkoff later became a singles wrestler, using his Russian heel gimmick in feuds with Hulk Hogan and others. He would remain in the company until 1995 when he went into "semi retirement". He appeared randomly on throwback editions of WWE Raw through the years.
He leaves behind a wife and two daughters.
Why can't they say it like it is, He killed himself, not "passed away"? BRIAN CHRISTOPHER PASSES AWAY AT 46 YEARS OLD
Brian Christopher (Brian Christopher Lawler) has passed away at 46 years old.
WWE announced his passing on their website: "WWE is saddened to learn that Brian Christopher Lawler, who is best known in WWE as Too Cool’s Grandmaster Sexay, has passed away. Lawler, who is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Jerry 'The King' Lawler, competed during the height of the Attitude Era. WWE extends its condolences to Lawler’s family, friends and fans."
Christopher had been pronounced brain dead earlier this morning after hanging himself in his jail cell at the Hardeman County Jail in Tennessee. A family friend reported to us that they were waiting for Jerry Lawler to come to the hospital to say goodbye before Christopher's life support was pulled.
Christopher was arrested for DUI on July 7 after failing to immediately stop when police tried to pull him over. He was being held on a $40,000 bond. His father and a family friend had been working on getting him to a rehab center, but Christopher didn't know when he was going to be released from prison.
After starting his career at 16 under a mask in Tennessee, Christopher joined the WWF in 1997. He went on to hold the WWF Tag Team titles once with Scotty 2 Hotty in 2000, with the two of them part of the popular "Too Cool" trio with Rikishi.
Paul "Triple H" Levesque also tweeted about Christopher's death: "Incredibly sad news about the passing of Brian Christopher. A tragic loss of life. Both @StephMcMahon and I are thinking of Jerry Lawler and the entire Lawler family this evening."

Bobby Lashley Talks Conversation With Triple H Before He Signed With WWE
Bobby Lashley's first WWE run ended after three years with the company. Lashley suffered a left shoulder injury at the 2007 Great American Bash pay-per-view which required arthroscopic surgery. After a six-month hiatus, Lashley was released from his WWE contract.
Following WrestleMania 34, Lashley returned to WWE to compete for the Raw Brand after eight years away from Vince McMahon and Company. During a recent conversation with German Suplex Talk, Lashley revealed what Triple H said to Lashley even before his WWE return.
Triple H knew WWE had more opportunities for Lashley than Impact Wrestling could.
"He knew my run was over," Lashley said. "You know when some people leave you can see how some people mature." Lashley brought focus to the fact that he didn't sit in the back or get soft during his time away from WWE which impressed Triple H.
Lashley kept working on his physique and expanded his training while wrestling for ImpactWrestling. He also competed in MMA where he maintained a 15-2 record fighting for Strikeforce, Titan Fighting Championship, Shark Fights, and Bellator. When the four-time Impact World Heavyweight Champion was ready for a WWE return, he made sure that he looked prepared.
"When [Triple H] saw me he was like, "damn, you look almost better than you did when you were here before," Lashley said. "He said there's a tremendous amount of money to be made and we'd love to see you come back."
Tommy Dreamer commented on Bobby Lashley's exit from Impact Wrestling during a recent media call as proof that Impact Wrestling has turned a new leaf.
"A lot of people wanna deal with the behind the scenes crap and the internet wants to jump on that," Dreamer said. "Well you know they're putting on a really good product today. I know this because -- they let Bobby Lashley out of his contract. Look at what Bobby Lashley's doing in WWE. Great for Bobby Lashley and also great for Impact because it opened up a spot a spot for someone like a Pentagon to come in or debut in Impact Wrestling."
After losing a #1 contender match for the Universal Championship to Roman Reigns, Lashley currently doesn't have a match booked for SummerSlam. There is still time for that to change and Lashley is still excited about the idea of facing Brock Lesnar no matter what kind of match WWE might book for them.
Cody Rhodes Talks Biggest Challenge Planning 'All In,' Wearing Multiple Hats, Flip Gordon Not Booked
Cody Rhodes talking about some of the challenges involved with putting together the event, wearing multiple hats, and Flip Gordon not being on the show. Here are some of the highlights:
Biggest challenge with planning the event:
"The biggest challenge has been— I've got to come out of my mental age a little bit. I'm 33, but I act like I'm 14, I feel 14. I do a lot of the clerical stuff with "All In," the e-mails, the formats, things of that nature. I'm learning as I go, but some of the folks in production, I don't think they're used to my bubbly, vivid self in this very cut and dry world of production, but they're getting used to it. That's the biggest challenge for me is to know when I've got to straighten [my] tie and grow up a little bit here."
Wearing multiple hats:
"'The Dream' himself came up with Starrcade in 1983 and the 'A Flair for the Gold' and he's not on the event, he's just the Executive Producer, 'Booker,' whatever vernacular you're using. So now, for me, Matt, and Nick's first event, we're all wrestling, but I can say we all had that same thought of, 'Maybe we won't. Maybe we won't wrestle. Maybe we'll just put a baseball cap on and sit in Gorilla and look for camera shots.' ... Matt, Nick, and myself have all said the same thing, I've told them both, 'You have to be there, you have to wrestle, The Young Bucks have to perform at All In.' They've said the same to me and the last matches that were really, really picked with a fine-tooth comb— because we've had this card for some time, we were the last ones to service and I think that's how it should be."
Flip Gordon not being on "All In":
"I don't know, if I'm being honest, something about Flip just rubs me the wrong way. I can't tell if he's a 'bulls---ter.' I can't tell if he's just saying what you want to hear, and that's why I just never joined in with Matt and Nick and the whole Flip love fest. ... At this point the card is full and he had a multitude of opportunities, but in his final opportunity - if you saw it - obviously, I was touched. He proved Matt and Nick right, and he proved me wrong. My hypocrisy can only go so far and I am a fan of Flip Gordon's, I genuinely am. If we're talking about two years from now he's a big part of your roster. If we're talking Flip five years from now he may be the franchise of your roster. He's incredibly special and it took me awhile to see it and unfortunately it took me too long to see it. So, maybe if we do an All In 2, maybe Flip Gordon can be part of that."

MID-WEST WRESTLING'S ELITE TO DEBUT THIS SEPTEMBER IN MINNESOTA
Midwest Wrestling's Elite Debuts & Presents "Make Or Break" Sept 30th.
With the expansion of Canadian Wrestling's Elite across the country of Canada with some of the best events in all of professional wrestling it is commonly asked by American wrestling fans, "when are you coming to America?!"
Unfortunately logistically there is a lot of red legal tape that doesn't make that possible at this time but luckily wrestling fans will be offered the next best thing and the closest thing to it possible!
CWE is beyond excited and honored to have been asked to be involved in an upstart Midwest organization that has taken great interest in the success, growth, product, and branding of Canadian Wrestling's Elite and is looking to duplicate the quality of action produced North of their border.
As a result on Sunday, September 30th Midwest Wrestling's Elite will host its debut event "Make Or Break": Professional Wrestling at the ROC in St. Louis Park, Minnesota!
Although similar in concept to CWE Midwest Wrestling's Elite will be very much its own stand alone organization presenting a very unique and different product than currently offered in the marketplace with consultation for CWE management.
The debut event will feature the top independent wrestling stars from across the Midwest United States as well as current CWE stars culminating in a Midwest wrestling super show never assembled before in the Twin Cities area.
The event is coined "Make Or Break" and could also be referenced as "Do Or Die" as it is a trial ran event by the event promoters who will determine if it is one and done or a brand worth building based on YOUR support!
Stay tuned over the week for some major talent announcements spanning 5 states and provinces for an event you will NOT want to miss!
Event information is as followed,
Sunday, September 30th- St. Louis Park, MN

Another Diss on WWE, lol Gail Kim Says A Wrestling Return Would Be For Impact Wrestling, Not WWE
Gail Kim's 2002 WWE debut was heavily hyped with weeks of promos promising a Matrix-inspired gimmick and she captured the WWE Women's Championship in her debut with the company by winning a seven-woman battle royal. Kim's first WWE run lasted two years before she was released due to cost-cutting measures. She spent 2005-2008 wrestling for TNA before making her return to WWE for a three-year stint. After a 2011 return to Impact Wrestling, she would wrestle there for the remainder of her career.
One fan on Twitter said that they would like to see her at the upcoming Evolution pay-per-view in October, the Impact Wrestling Hall Of Famer stated that she is happy for the women in WWE, but has no interest in returning. Kim, who retired in February this year, said if she does make a return it will be for Impact Wrestling.
When asked why a WWE return isn't a possibility, she replied saying that she was never happy in WWE during her two times with the company. She continued saying Impact Wrestling is her happiness and sometimes life is about more than money.
Shane Douglas Really Shouldn't Comment On This Since He Was Once "Wrestling With Zombies"
I can provide proof of that.
This week on his Triple Threat Podcast, "The Franchise" Shane Douglas commented on the story that surfaced of the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania school teacher who is moonlighting as a Nazi themed wrestler called Blitzkrieg. With Shane's history as a professional wrestler who also worked as an educator, he explains how the Montgomery County school district's use of a morality clause may indicate the future of the "German Juggernaut''. The full episode of Shane's podcast can be downloaded at this link.

"Well he's not long for his job if he's a school teacher. Honestly, school teachers sign in their contracts a morality clause and good luck with all of the judging we've talked about for the last 10-15 minutes. When the school district that he works for finds out that this guy is out there portraying a "real Nazi" as if he really knew what a "real Nazi" was. So you understand with a morality clause it says that A, B, C and D are wrong (you can't do those things) but E, F, G and all the way through to Z those things are okay. A morality clause is a grey area that the powers that be say if it is immoral than it's immoral and you are getting fired."

"I am willing to bet my last dollar that the people throwing the terms out like fascist or Nazi couldn't pass my 8th grade civics test and tell me what a real Nazi is and what a real fascist is. It is just a word that they heard someplace and they know is associated with Hitler so it is bad. So if I don't like you I'll call you a Nazi or a fascist because that makes you like Hitler in my mind and therefore that is about the worst things I could say about you. It doesn't matter if you are not a fascist and it doesn't matter if you are the exact opposite of a fascist."
"This guy (if all the things you said are true) and he is a full time school teacher and he is out portraying a Nazi character? I can't imagine a school board or administration being copacetic with that and as per any standard morality clause, I'd think there is trouble coming in his career and he might want to hope that he is pretty successful being Blitzkrieg because he many need the income."
Chris Jericho Talks Differences With His Character In WWE And NJPW, How He Created His 'Goth' Look
Chris Jericho was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated about teaming with the Young Bucks to face The Bullet Club on his cruise this October. Below are some highlights:
How is character has changed in NJPW:
"It's very cool to go back to Japan, where I started, and be part of this worldwide growth of New Japan. There are no real restrictions on what I can do in New Japan. We did the original beatdown with Kenny and got some blood going, which you never see in the WWE nowadays, and we did the press conference where I was swearing and attacking reporters. You can't do that in WWE, but you can in Japan. Just to have those shackles released, it just felt like all of these things led to more of a Bruiser Brody character than a Shawn Michaels-type vibe."
His recent "goth" look:
"I was sitting in the crowd so I wanted to look as much like Bushi as I could. Bushi wears black lipstick, so I put the black lipstick on and darkened my eyes with dark eyeliner. When I took the mask off, I had a very gothic look. People are saying this has a vibe from Clockwork Orange or Alice Cooper, and it's kind of a combination of both of those, but it was inspired by neither. It feels like more of a serial killer, lunatic character."
Alpha Club vs. Bullet Club on his cruise:
"We were all in Osaka back in June and I inducted the Bucks into the Alpha Club. So now we can do Alpha Club vs. Bullet Club as the main event on the cruise.
"Coming from the world I come from, which is WWE and Vince McMahon, the tagline sells tickets even more than the match. The only way to see it is to come on board."

More Like Vince McMahon Will Dictate To You Triple H, Not The WWE Universe
But nice try anyway, everyone knows better.
- Triple H spoke to SKy Sports about WWE’s Evolution PPV and was asked about the concept becoming a mainstay: “It's a question to be answered down the road. Do we need to have a women's only event? No -- just like we don't need a men's only event or anything else. I think that the opportunity is there whoever is the best, the most prominent box office attraction that is the main event. It doesn't matter if that's Raw, Smackdown, NXT, Wrestlemania. So can they have their own event? Can it be a mainstay? Yes, and if our fans want it and it's the right thing then we'll give it to them. The WWE universe will dictate to us what the approach is."

PWInsider, Torch And Meltzer Again, Prove Me Right (The irony is amusing)
Here are the stories all three did on Brian Christopher getting arrested again. A story I broke, hours ago and said, these guys would not only play catch up to me? But not give me any credit for breaking the story first.
As you can see. They proved me correct again.
Remember, these are the same whiny bitches who are the first ones to piss and moan if someone doesn't give THEM credit on a story. But when it comes time for them? To do the same and credit me? Funny how they find all sorts of ways to avoid that.
The irony of what these dipshits say and then do, is quite amusing. And by all means you want to tell them i said this, go ahead. You know what they'll all do? Nothing, not a damn thing but take it, just like they always have.

Name Change For The Blog
Since I have a Facebook Wrestling group with the same name I decided to go ahead and change the name of this blog to same name as the FB group.
Same snarcastic comments, same approach, just a different name that seems more fitting anyway.

Again Beating PWInsider, Meltzer and Torch with.. Ring Warriors to Debut on WGN America.
And again no credit will be given by them to me for breaking this out before them and them, having to catch up to me. :)
Ring Warriors, which was founded by the late Hiro Matsuda, announced that it will debut on WGN America on Saturday, September 15th at 8 a.m. ET/PT. The series, a joint venture between Florida based Ring Warriors and Nevada based Goin' Mobile Video Productions (GMVP), was acquired for worldwide distribution, marketing and licensing by California based Global Genesis Group (GGG). Calling the action for Ring Warriors will be the team of Blake Chadwick and Larry Brannon.
"I think Hiro would be very proud of what we are doing today with Ring Warriors," said Howard Brody, Matsuda's former partner and current Ring Warriors, LLC Chief Operations Officer. "Hiro had a vision that one day Ring Warriors would be on TV in the U.S. but he passed away before that was realized. After almost 20 years that vision is now a reality."

Beating Meltzer, PWInsider and Torch with... Former WWE Star Brian Christopher Arrested Again
Watch how they all will now play catch up to me and as usual, won't credit me with breaking out the story, BEFORE THEM :)
Former WWE star Brian Lawler, f.k.a. Brian "Grand Master Sexay" Christopher, was arrested earlier this month for DUI and evading police in Tennessee, according to TMZ.
Lawler, 46, was reportedly speeding and swerving around 1 am on July 7th. Lawler failed to stop when police tried to pull him over. When he was finally stopped, he allegedly "reeked of booze and had an open 12 ounce can in his center console." He was immediately arrested and booked for DUI and evading arrest. His bail was set at $40,000.
It is Lawler's second arrest this summer. Lawler was arrested in downtown Memphis on June 7th after leaving a Hampton Inn hotel without paying.
awler wrestled for WWE from 1997 through 2001, however was released from the company after he was arrested for possessing illegal drugs when he crossed the Canadian border for a WWE tour. He has had several arrests since then, including for public intoxication in 2009 and for another DUI in April of 2013.
Since his WWE departure in 2001, Lawler has had several short lived returns for the company, most recently teaming with Scotty Too Hotty in a losing effort to The Ascension at NXT Arrival in February of 2014.

MATT RIDDLE OUT OF PWG BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES AMID WWE SPECULATION
Matt Riddle has been pulled from this year’s Battle of Los Angeles, raising speculation as to where he’ll be heading next.
Pro Wrestling Guerilla made the announcement tonight on their Twitter account. Trevor Lee will take his place in the tournament, which is set to run September 14th through the 16th.
There is speculation that Riddle may be heading somewhere, as he has also pulled out of dates with Over the Top Wrestling in Dublin, Ireland. He is still scheduled for upcoming shows with EVOLVE, which are set to take place throughout August. He also currently holds the EVOLVE title.
On last night’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer mentioned that current rumors indicate that both New Japan and WWE are looking into bringing in Riddle, with NJPW having interest in using him for their shows in the United States. Both companies have expressed interest in Riddle in the past, but were wary of bringing him in due to previous marijuana drug test violations in the UFC.
