Former ROH Wrestler Truth Martini Says That He's Done Wrestling

(I always liked this guy as a manager, He was a great example that managers weren't a lost art in Pro Wrestling).
Truth Martini broke through in the indie scene in the late 1990s as he wrestled for several promotions in the Detroit area. After stints with Juggalo Championship Wrestling and Independent Wrestling Revolution, he made it to Ring of Honor in 2009.By then, Martini was more of a manager than a wrestler and it appears he's done as an in-ring competitor. He talked about moving onto the next chapter of his life with Colt Cabana on The Art of Wrestling podcast."You kinda can't argue with time, you know? Things run its course. It's not like I don't like professional wrestling," Martini stated. "It's kinda like when you're young-when you're done with your tricycle, it's not like you hate your tricycle. Tricycles are awesome! It just ran its course and that's pretty much how I felt."Martini may be done as a wrestler, but he's far from done with wrestling. He's settled down with his family and now operates his own wrestling school in Michigan named after the House of Truth (HOT)."So, I went ahead and got married and have a lovely wife and I've got a three-and-a-half month baby girl," said Martini. "Her name's Miriam and she's a blessing from God."I'm done performing right now, but I'm still at the school Monday-Thursday. HOTWrestlingSchool.com  for anybody still interested."

Former WWE Wrestler Reveals Deflating Words From Arn Anderson Before WWE-Branded ECW PPV

Former WWE star Mike Knox was a recent guest on the Pancakes and Powerslams Show, and gave a career perspective of his time in ECW, WWE, and Impact Wrestling.

December to Dismember, arguably the worst pay-per-view in WWE history, occurred on December 3, 2006. It was the lowest buyrate ever, prior to the WWE Network, and was negatively viewed widely by both the wrestlers and fans alike.

Prior to the pay-per-view, Knox stated that there was originally a major angle that was supposed to occur, but unfortunately was nixed.

"We were trying to get ECW over and we were trying to convince the original ECW fans that this was gonna be kinda like that," said Knox. "That was what we were trying to do. So I went up there and I wrestled Sandman, let him beat me all over the place, slinging kendo sticks and taking half of my ear off, just doing all of that. Kelly [Kelly] was there and we tried not to put her in it too much because she didn't really know. So, I did something like that, and we did something with Balls Mahoney after that and they started to turn it to where she was starting to flirt with the other boys.

"So she'd flirt with Balls a little bit, and then all of a sudden she started flirting with CM Punk and I'd be like, 'hey, what the heck are you doing?' She didn't really talk a lot back then, but it was supposed to pressure finally a good run with me and CM Punk, instead of me with like Sabu or Balls or Sandman, the original guys. So it was supposed to be me and CM Punk and they were supposed to really rev that up like the two young ECW guys getting to go at it over this beautiful girl."

After the nixed plan to feud Knox with Punk, a mixed tag team match between Kevin Thorn and Ariel against Knox and Kelly Kelly was placed in the semi-main event slot at December to Dismember, although Knox revealed that it was only for a specific purpose.

"We were was sitting there and I was taking over the match, and Arn [Anderson] came up and was like, 'listen, it doesn't matter what you guys do. Nobody's gonna be watching you. You gotta make sure the girls know what they need to do, and it really doesn't matter what you guys do out there, nobody is even gonna remember it.'

"So I was like, oh geez, thanks Arn. Like, one of my childhood heroes," Knox said. "So I looked at Kevin [Thorn], he's looking at me, and I'm like, dude, let's show these guys. Let's get in there and really beat the crap out of each other. We were like, let's bring it. So, even if nobody else remembers it, we will. So we went out there and we just beat the living crap out of each other."

The end goal of the match was for Knox to turn on Kelly and walk away. The next night, he came out dressed up and faked an apology to Kelly, hitting her with the roses and his finisher. Knox stated that this kind of split up "would not go over now at all" due to the current WWE restrictions.

Top ROH Star Ends His Run In The Company.

Former ROH TV Champion Punishment Martinez, who lost the title tonight during a TV taping in Las Vegas, is officially finished with Ring of Honor, Martinez was saying his goodbyes to the locker room at tonight's taping, which was his final scheduled date with the company.  Martinez's contract expired last month, just prior to the "All In" PPV, multiple sources have confirmed.  Martinez opted not to sign a new deal as he wanted to be contractually free going forward.  Obviously, someone with his size and skill would make a smart, logical addition to pretty much any company out there. 

WWE sources there has been interest in Martinez for the NXT brand for some time, so that appears to be his most likely destination.  Martinez broke into the business training with the Monster Factory in New Jersey and became a regular with ROH after a strong performance in the 2016 Top Prospect Tournament, which was won by Lio Rush.  He was signed to a contract in July 2016.  During his run with the company, Martinez was aligned with Kevin Sullivan and BJ Whitmer, won the 2017 Survival of the Fittest and toured with New Japan via ROH's working relationship with that company.

The next move for Martinez should prove to be very interesting as he has a lot of potential and was someone ROH had obviously invested a lot into over the last several years.

Eric Bischoff Reveals Big Planned Changes For WCW Had He Purchased The Company

By 1999 WCW was a sinking ship as Monday Night Raw beat Nitro in ratings every week of the year. Eric Bischoff felt the wrath of his company failing as he was removed from his president role while Vince Russo took over as head of creative.

In late 2000 Bischoff and a group of partners made one last-ditch effort to save WCW as they offered to purchase the company. A Turner executive accepted the deal and Bischoff was due to become WCW's owner, but another Turner executive then cancelled all WCW programming from its network. With no network to broadcast on, WCW had little value to Bischoff and the deal never went through.

On his podcast, Bischoff discussed some of the changes that would have occurred had the deal went through and he purchased WCW.

"Tony Schiavone," Bischoff said about his first big change. "I have always liked and respected Tony. There were never any thoughts of firing Tony, but we did want-we knew that we needed to hit the refresh button in every way possible. We knew that we wanted to rebrand WCW and get as far away as how people had perceived WCW to be as possible as far as we could, which included the announcers. That would have included the look of the show and the location of the show and where we were going to produce the show. It would have included a lot of things including the announce team. It was going to be Joey Styles and Don Callis."

Fans criticized WCW for their stale programming during their final months as the team of Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara failed to connect with the audience. But despite creative being a problem, that wasn't the first thing on Bischoff's docket were he to take over.

"We didn't really focus on future creative. We talked about what talent we did keep and wanted to keep but there was so much work to do on rebranding, repositioning the company that creative was really the last thing we needed to think about," Bischoff said.

"The intention really when we were going to acquire the company was going to shut it down for a period of 3-6 months thinking that absence makes the heart grow fonder. We needed to build some anticipation. We had to make people anxious to see what the new, rebranded WCW was going to look like. You couldn't do that by taking it off of television for a couple of weeks and then coming back. You had to be gone a long enough period of time to really build up anticipation and to market it properly.

"We were focused more on where we wanted to produce the show. How could we help reduce the cost of producing the show? What talent were we able to afford? Who did we want to keep? Rebuilding relationships with sponsors. That was where I really was focused on, not on what we were going to do with a certain talent."

In the span of a few weeks in 2001, Bischoff agreed to purchase WCW, Turner dropped all WCW programming, Bischoff backed out of his offer to purchase the promotion and, finally, WWE purchased WCW.

Eric Bischoff Talks Ultimate Warrior's WCW Debut Setting The Stage For "Really Bad" Program

By late 1998 WCW's stranglehold in the Monday Night Wars began to wain. As a result, Eric Bischoff did what had initially worked to get WCW atop the ratings and that is recycle old WWEstars.

One of those was The Ultimate Warrior who dropped "ultimate" when he joined WCW. While Warrior provided a momentary bump in ratings for Nitro, his first segment on the show is often ridiculed today.

Bischoff relived Warrior's WCW debut on his podcast, 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff.

"There was a lot of anticipation," Bischoff said about Warrior's 20 minute promo getting a high rating. "Look, Warrior had a lot of equity built up with the WWE audience. He was a known commodity. Nobody would have ever expected-with all of the heat between him and Hulk Hogan-nobody would have expected him there. There was this built-in, natural, promotional effort without having to expand any promotional effort on our part. It was automatic. The wrestling audience wanted to see what the hell is going to happen when these two come together because there was so much natural heat and story in the WWF."

Warrior's appearance was exciting because it was so unexpected, but his opening promo was generally panned by critics. He rambled on for over 20 minutes, both confusing the fans as well as Bischoff and Hogan who were in the ring and targets of his promo. Bischoff says it didn't take long to realize that bringing Warrior in was a mistake.

"On his first Nitro appearance was when I knew I was in trouble," Bischoff stated. "Everything else that happened after that was a decree of how bad it was going to be ultimately. When he first showed up and we walked through it and blocked it, everybody had a good idea of what the first promo was going to be. We knew that we had 8-10 minutes. Again, we had flexibility. We worked for the television company that owned us so there was a little room for margin of error when you are on live. But that first promo going back to his first appearance on Nitro, it was scheduled to only be 8-10 minutes, and somewhere along the 20-22 minute mark when Hulk Hogan and I were staring at each other in the middle of the ring and asking what the f**k he is talking about.

"We were completely lost, and so was the audience, and director, Craig Leathers is screaming in my ears, we were going so far over that even the margin for error that we had built in that the first promo that Warrior had shot went beyond 20 minutes. For a promo, I don't care who it is, that is a long promo. Everything that happened after that was confirmation that it was going to be really bad."

Warrior would only have three matches in WCW with the final one coming at Halloween Havoc in 1998. Nitro would defeat Raw in ratings the following Monday night, but that would be their last victory in the Monday Night Wars. Warrior would depart WCW two weeks later and Raw would defeat Nitro every Monday night until WCW was purchased by WWE in March 2001.

Get A Load Of This Bullshit. Bully Ray says he is the “only pure, legitimate heel” in pro wrestling

I spit out my coffee laughing at this.

Bully Ray spoke with Kevin Eck of Sporting News and made a bold statement. “I say this without ego and I’m not blowing smoke up my own ass, but I thoroughly believe that in all of wrestling today, I am the only pure, legitimate heel in the business,” Ray said. “It is my job as the veteran to come up with these scenarios where all of these younger wrestlers can shine by standing up to me.”

Bully also spoke about the possibility of retirement. “I’ve said the same thing since Day 1: I will continue to [wrestle] as long as I am having fun, making money and am able to make a difference,” he said. “At 47 years old, I’m still going as strong as I ever have. I’m able to give back to a company and I’m able to see other people flourish because of my character. When I do eventually retire for good, I’ll be able to look back on every company that I was a part of and say here’s how I helped there. And, oh, by the way, I made one hell of a name for myself and I have a nice pile of money to sit on until the day I die.”.

Let's see who's more pure.. Eli Drake, Rampage Brown in the UK (Defiant Wrestling and WOS), Drake too come to think of it.. Beau James in AMW, Gangrel in WCWC, I can name acouple guys in WWA Kentucky, Matt Rivera who wrestles for Bert Prentice's USA Championship Wrestling, Jay Lethal has always had more pure heel skills than Bully Ray, want me to continue?

Sorry Bully Ray, you may 'believe in your little bubble' that you're the only pure legitimate heel in wrestling. But many are, pointing and laughing at that statement because the reality is? You're not.

Goldust Interview- Says He's At The End of His Career

Goldust is currently celebrating his 30th year in pro wrestling and most of that time has been spent in WWE. He's currently in the midst of his sixth stint with WWE and he's aware that he's coming to the end of his career not only in WWE, but in wrestling altogether.

Goldust joined the Sports Guys Talking Wrestling podcast where he talked about his health and his uncertain future in the ring.

"I've wrestled just about everybody there is to wrestle, done just about every character reincarnation that I can come up with," Goldust stated. "What's next? I'm at the end of my careerhere and about to be 50 in April. What else is there to do? I don't know.

"My body's getting older, they're getting younger and faster. It takes a toll on an old man's body like myself or [Kane] or Mark Henry or 'Taker. You gotta do it a little bit less. You can't go balls to the wall like we used to."

Goldust mentioned his recent double knee surgery, noting that his body doesn't recover like it used to. That makes it harder to keep up with guys half his age but for the younger talent to truly separate themselves, they need to master the art of storytelling.

"I can still hang for a little bit with these kids," said Goldust. "But I've gotta give them credit as they're going out there for 30 minutes hard and fast and they can still tell stories. That's big for me, it's telling stories for people.

"Tell a story. You don't have to do a thousand things in two minutes when you can do one just as good and still tell that story with your face, or how you land, or your reaction. That's a lost art. Storytelling is a big part of our industry and if given time you can do it properly. If you're Roman Reigns, if you're Braun Strowman, you're getting a weekly deal to tell that story and then it starts to work and you start feeling it."

Twitter Tough guy Bitches Up.(They Always Do :) ) (Updated)

In my earlier post about me putting idiots on Twitter in their place, we had one guy, on there that just wasn't smart enough to quit when he kept getting his ass handed to him. So he tried to up the ante and I said (and you'll see this in my shots i'm including here) "I hand you my address you'll hand me excuses". And guess what, lo and behold just like every other internet Rambo and wannabe internet tough guy? I gave him my address and as predictable as a rerun? The excuses came. Imagine that. All this cause I had the balls to post a story on Cody Rhodes that I knew would infuriate his fans. Truth always hurts when I tell it.

If you know you have no balls to leave your house, don't try to be an online tough guy because guys like me will bust out guys like this above, for the bitches they are, every time.

Here's some more from this guy, I show him proof that I gave him my addy and what doe she do? The same thing every wannabe internet tough guy does, scrapes up the ever typical "Pay for a ticket' copout when they know they have to back down.. The most ever used copout is the 'pay for a plane ticket' excuse, so many internet wimps use thyat over the years it's pathetic. No matter how many keyboard warriors I confront, they always, each and every one of them, always use the same copout excuses when they bitch up.

And wouldn't you know? After I told him I was getting this for this story, I got 'restricted' on Twitter. So that means Mikey here snitched on me, LOL. Nothing worse than a bitch who's a snitch, LMAO!

Cody Rhodes Taken To School On Twitter.

Updated... I added a pic of CHWF officially saying that it was the NWA's (Corgan) decision, not theirs. So Now we know where the blame really lies, eh?

I first wrote about a meet and greet involving Cody Rhodes and Championship Wrestling From Hollywood acouple weeks ago. The original link is here.https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2018/09/bring-your-own-camera-and-pay-20-bucks.html

Someone I know took it to Twitter and it got Cody's attention which I updated it with this link here.

https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2018/09/i-told-people-my-cody-rhodes-story-got.html and because of this I had to break down and create a Twitter account. Just so I can speak on this myself. I've added some screenshots as proof of this, and as you can see Cody really doesn't look so good in these Twitter exchanges with me or the guy who called him out on the original story of the meet and greet. I can actually add one where Cody said something about followers on Twitter and I countered with a screenshot showing him that I don't need followers when I can post a link to my blog and get viewers (Something Cody conveniently dodged when he realized he was put in check).

Cody in one of his Twitter replies claimed he can do what he wants with the NWA World title. Reality is, he can't and most people know it but the guy I know called him out on those words and you can see how Cody quickly tries to walk back from those words, and doesn't really do a good job at it either.

I could also grab another shot of where Cody claims this isn't a story but.. The shot I've included here of views of my most popular stories today shows that one of the stories I posted on all this, 325 people just today clicked on it and viewed it. SSSOO. It's NOT a story because Cody says so? LOL. 325 people pretty much proved him wrong, and that's just today mind you.

Earlier in this long Twitter exchange he advised someone to 'mute' what Gino Bradley says.. Maybe after all this Cody should've taken his own advice because clearly he's been taken to school here, even if his ego and attempts at no selling that fact can't cover that fact convincingly.
