I Get To Further Put Someone At ProWrestling.Net In Check

Here's where I first put Jason Powell of ProWrestling.Net in his place. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2018/10/had-to-put-someone-at-pro-wrestlingnet.html and yesterday I further checked his ass with this. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2018/10/jim-ross-addresses-rumors-that-hes.html So now, I get to further bury Jason's ass with THIS.
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross did a Q&A on the Chris Jericho cruise earlier this week. Several people on the cruise noted that during the Q&A, J.R. joked that someone is going to start a new wrestling company to put an end to the "bulls--t" like WWE trying to stop Rey Mysterio from going on the cruise. J.R. then said that someone would take his words out of context for clickbait. He said that he was kidding and he is under contract with AXS and WWE.

Maybe the next time I tell Jason Powell something, he'll fucking listen and realize, I'll always know more than he does. That way he doesn't come out looking like a dumb ass, like he has here, thanks to me. By all means let Jason know he got owned by me again. I'm sure he'll appreciate knowing this fact. :)

Title Match Wrestling Releases "Rare" Match... That's Been On Youtube For Over Two Years, LOL! (Updated)

Title Match Wrestling has released a rare video of Lio Rush working the indies before signing with WWE. Rush takes on Combat Zone Wrestling owner DJ Hyde at Tier 1 Wrestling's "Rumble In the Concrete Jungle" event on October 2, 2015 in Queens, NY.

But yet.. Look at the shots, right below.. There's that SSAAMME MATCH! Been On Youtube for over TWO FUCKING YEARS! bwahahahahahahahahha!!! Someone should really do some fucking research when they do these dumb ass things, I swear. 



As you can see I added a shot with comments from Title Match Wrestling themselves. They're trying to no sell the fact they got checked but that same ol "You give us publicity' usually translates into they have no argument for the fact they got checked, so they'll hide behind that cop out, LOL!

Chris Jericho Cruise Security Tried To Crack Down On Fan Photos During Bullet Club Vs. Alpha Club Match

Chris Jericho's cruise set sail out of Miami, Florida last Friday and featured a full lineup of events, including the "Sea of Honor" 16-Man Tournament and the Bullet Club (Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes, and Marty Scurll) vs. Alpha Club (Young Bucks and Chris Jericho) as the main event.
The 6-man tag match took place last night and many sources learned signs were held up and an announcement was made for fans not to take photos or videos of the match. Security was even shining flashlights and telling individual fans to stop if they held up their phones. For other matches on the cruise, this wasn't the case.
This match (along with the "Sea of Honor" tournament) was filmed and will be streamed via Fiteon November 3 at 8pm ET for $24.99. Obviously, the results and match itself is trying to be kept quiet for Friday's stream.
Some photos still made their way to Twitter though, as you can see below, Jericho dressed up like The Young Bucks, while Cody, Kenny (and presumably Marty) were wearing colorful "Nassau Bahamas" tie-dye shirts. 



Jim Ross Addresses Rumors That He's Going To Start A Pro Wrestling Promotion

And this, will show i was right all along. I told acouple otherso called 'well known' writers including Jason Powell of ProWrestling.Net That this was false. But Jason swore i was wrong. Looks like Jason was wrong but of course.. He'll never have the balls to openly say i was correct when i checked his ass on this acouple weeks ago.

Recently on The Jim Ross Report, WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross took a moment to address the rumors that he is starting a new professional wrestling promotion. Without expressly denying the reports, Ross joked that the rumors are "absurd".
"I've got to get something off my chest." Ross continued, "I feel like I'm obligated to update folks on the rumor of me and others getting involved in a promotion. I am going to break the news here tonight that there will be a new promotion. I will be involved in it. I have some thousandaires who are also looking to invest in my new idea, the World Domino League where we will double sixes like a b---h. So we shake the bones in J.R.'s World Domino League. And stay tuned with more information coming, which is about as absurd as the rumors last week about all this data that was compiled. Jesus, almighty. Oh well. Fun stuff.".
Ross then poked fun at the reporters who wrote on the story, saying that they are so creative that they may find work writing fiction.
"We should get those guys hooked up with Paul O'Brien while writing Slobberknocker 2 and get some storyline ideas or something. And maybe these guys are so creative that if there is a new promotion, maybe they'll be hired as writers." Ross added, "that ain't too likely.".

ATSUSHI ONITA APPEARANCE WRESTLEMANIA 35 WEEKEND SELLS OUT IN ONE MINUTE

That's faster than WWE can sell out 98% of their shows, LMAO!

The third annual Joey Janela's Spring Break event, set for Friday 4/5 in Jersey City, NJ sold out in one minute today when tickets officially went on sale today. 
The show, which would have sold out eventually, had its on sales magnified greatly by their announcement that FMW founder and Japanese Death Match legend Atsushi Onita would be appearing.  With no further details on Onita's role, tickets priced up to $195 sold out as soon as they went on sale. Promoters Game Changer Wrestling responded to the sellout via social media, writing, "Wow. Thank you for the overwhelming response. We are grateful to have your support for another year. We will work with the venue to see if there are ways to safely/comfortably add additional seating."

WWE-EVOLVE-NXT Update

WWE announced today that new EVOLVE Champion Fabian Aichner and new EVOLVE Tag Team Champions The Street Profits will be appearing on all announced EVOLVE dates going forward.
The idea behind the NXT talent appearing on the EVOLVE events seems to go back to one of the original discussed ideas surrounding the NXT-EVOLVE relationship several years ago, which was to give EVOLVE talents somewhere else to work while also giving Gabe Sapolsky (who now also works for WWE) a chance to help develop them.  There had been talk at the time of the WWN family of promotions taking over the NXT Florida events, but it appears instead the idea is to farm talents out to EVOLVE events and I wouldn't be shocked to see similar instances of talents working for SHINE, etc as well.
With so many talents signed up to train at the WWE Performance Center, there are only so many slots on NXT live events so farming some of the talents out to EVOLVE events makes sense in that it will help give talents who aren't getting NXT TV exposure a spotlight as well as additional ring time in front of live event audiences.  
The talent exchange also benefits EVOLVE as they get the direct marketing and promotional help of the WWE machine to help enhance their events, which will only assist their bottom line as well as WWE covering the costs of some talents, which reduces the EVOLVE overhead as well. 


While EVOLVE is now allowed to feature these talents on their streaming service, one would think part of the deal is that WWE will have the rights to any of the material featuring their talent for their own library or perhaps even the entire EVOLVE library, similar to the company's deals with ICW and PROGRESS in Europe.

WWE 'Live Streaming' An Old Show From 2017? That's Already ON Youtube? LMAO!




SSOOO again, WWE shows what morons they are with this, ahem.... "Live Streaming" of a Smackdown show from 2017 that, as you can see, one look on Youtube and it's already there! Three different links I came up with within 40 seconds. So WWHHYY even bother 'live streaming' a show that's a year old to your network when people can see it now on Youtube? If people at the WWE can't see how stupid they are with this constantly happening, and me easily pointing this out every time they fuck up like this, then yes, they are dumber than I or you ever thought. Someday people at WWE will actually smarten up and do some research before making themselves look like total dumb fucks doing this dumb shit over and over, and over again. So you can again thank me for being the one who points it out, because other wrestling writers won't have the balls to do it. They're too busy kissing the ass of McMahon and other promoters so that way they can have interviews on their podcasts and "VIP membership" sections of their web pages. I, don't need to do that so I have nothing to lose by exposing these little tidbits for you. :)

Austin Aries Reportedly Suffering From Minor Concussion, News On His Status With Impact Wrestling

Former Impact World Champion Austin Aries lost to Johnny Impact at Bound For Glory two weeks ago, and proceeded to walk out of the arena after exchanging words with Executive Vice President of Impact Wrestling Don Callis. A lot has been speculated about Aries's walkout and his contractual status with Impact Wrestling, 
Several sources spoke about Aries suffering from a minor concussion, and that he was physically beaten down. It's also noted that there are more layers to the story and what went down at Bound For Glory, and revealed that Impact Wrestling did not confirm, or wasn't aware of the concussion.
Regarding Aries's contractual status, it's been revealed that Austin's contract with Impact Wrestling has indeed expired, and a new deal hasn't been signed yet. It's been  further noted that Aries was present in New York on 10/8 for the first day of TV tapings, but was sent home and the script had to be rewritten. Finally, It's also speculated that the entire story had a Pillman-esque vibe, which was evident during the build-up to the Bound For Glory match.

Thanks For Stating The Obvious- Hulk Hogan Admits To Holding Down Younger Talent During His Career

Hulk Hogan recently gave an interview to the Orlando Sentinel and Hogan was asked about the rumors of him holding down the younger talent when he was at the helm. The Hulkster said that the rumors were indeed true, and admitted that he stayed at the top for as long as he did because of those actions.
"Once I got in the spot, to keep the spot, that's where the politics came in", Hogan revealed. "Everybody goes, `Well, Hulk Hogan was a politician.' Well, thank God I was. That's why I made more money than anybody, that's why I kept the belt longer, that's why instead of a five or six or ten year run like The Rock or Stone Cold or different wrestlers, I had a 35 year run on top."

Shame Shame WWE, WWE Reportedly Tried To Keep Rey Mysterio Off Chris Jericho's Cruise,

WWE officials reportedly tried keeping Rey Mysterio from going on Chris Jericho's "Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager at Sea" cruise that sets sail this weekend, 
Mysterio informed WWE officials of the cruise booking as a pre-existing commitment when he signed his new contract to return to the main roster and told them he would not be wrestling, he would just be attending as a guest. WWE still tried to keep Mysterio from going.
Mysterio was not booked for any WWE live events this weekend but it will be interesting to see if he makes Tuesday's SmackDown tapings in Atlanta, the final show before Crown Jewel. WWE currently has Rey advertised for SmackDown but the cruise does not end until the next day. It's possible Rey leaves the cruise a day early when they make it to the Bahamas on Monday.

Jazz On Why She Doesn't "Give A Damn" About WWE's Evolution (LMAO!)

Jazz On Why She Doesn't "Give A Damn" About WWE's Evolution (LMAO!)

Jazz didn't have the lengthiest of runs in WWE, but she did manage to win the Women's Championship twice. Both times she took the title away from Trish Stratus who will be returning to the ring at WWE Evolution as she teams with Lita to take on Mickie James and Alexa Bliss.
Even though Stratus credits Jazz with helping her develop in the ring and called her "Hall of Fame level," Jazz won't be appearing at Evolution and hasn't stepped foot in a WWE ring in over 10 years.
Jazz talked about the first WWE all-women's pay-per-view when she appeared on the Duke Loves Rasslin' podcast.
"I never thought I'd ever see that but I'm glad they're finally opening their eyes and giving women a showcase for their abilities on such a platform," stated Jazz. "For so many years they just wanted T and A out there and now they're giving women an opportunity to wrestle."
Jazz has been wrestling on the indie circuit for the last few years and at 45 years old she's still going strong. She is the current NWA World Women's Champion, and while she's happy for the progress of women in wrestling, she could care less about WWE making history.
"I don't give a damn about their Evolution because as the NWA Women's Champion I'm creating my own Evolution. It's about me," exclaimed Jazz.
In the interview Jazz also talked about wanting more mixed tag matches alongside her husband, former WWE Superstar Rodney Mack. She even called out WWE's power couple, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
"What I'm interested in is doing mixed tags. I'm really pulling for someone to book Rodney and myself as a tag team. You can say whatever you want but we really are the power couple when it comes to wrestling in this industry," said Jazz. "I'm talking about my husband Rodney Mack okay? We are pound-for-pound the baddest dogs around and we claim it! If Stephanie McMahon and Triple H want a match just let me know, do I sign a piece of paper or just show up with my gear? You think I would back down from that? Stephanie? Oh my God; PLEASE!"

Changes Behind The Scenes In MLW

Konnan has risen in power in Major League Wrestling and will be replacing Bruce Prichard as the company's senior Producer and top agent behind the scenes. 
Prichard, PWInsider.com has confirmed, will be leaving MLW in terms of working behind the scenes in what has been said to be an amicable departure.    We are told the doors are open for Prichard to return in another role down the line should something come up and that Prichard and Conrad Thompson's uber-popular Something To Wrestle With podcast will continue on MLW's podcast network.  That podcast has morphed into a WWE Network series, which is potentially being brought back for a second season.
Konnan started behind the scenes for MLW last month in Fort Lauderdale and almost immediately grew into a larger role, running the locker room at the MLW Fury Road event in NYC.  He will be taking over all of Prichard's former responsibilities, which also included gorilla position.  The wrestling side of MLW now has Court Bauer, Konnan and Mister Saint Laurent, who all started the first MLW podcast together years ago, as the trio heading up the wrestling side.   We are told this will have no bearing on Konnan's work with AAA or Impact Wrestling.
Former WWE Creative team member Alex Greenfield work as a producer here, with responsibilities including overseeing pre-taped material and has his hands in a lot of the production.
Tommy Dreamer, Low Ki and Sami Callihan also work behind the scenes as agents for MLW.

Impact Wrestling's Current Booking Isn't Working And Here's Proof. (Viewers Drop, again)

The 10/18 edition of Impact, in its new 10 PM EST timeslot, dropped down to 98,000 viewers, the lowest audience number in the history of the series on Pop.  It was way down from last week's 189,000 overnight viewers.
Maybe it's time for Don Callis to actually 'get rid if the silliness' he swore he was gonna get rid of, for real now.  As I've said many times you can't get rid of the silliness if he's the one writing and booking it. If this doesn't give you a big enough hint that you and D'Amore's booking isn't working.. What brick thru a window do you need?

Why Doesn't This Surprise Me- Vince McMahon, WWE deflect Saudi Arabia questions during WWE Third Quarter Financial call

WWE announced Thursday morning that Crown Jewel will take place as scheduled in Saudi Arabia next week, despite the controversy surrounding the Saudi government’s involvement in the death of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Later Thursday morning, WWE held its quarterly financial call with investors, and WWE chairman Vince McMahon was asked directly about the Saudi Arabia situation, but he deflected in his answer.
“We’re not going to talk a lot about (Saudi Arabia),” McMahon said. “It’s a sensitive subject, and our statement said all we want to say about that subject today.”
Later in the call, WWE was again asked about Saudi Arabia, specifically the economic risks involved with doing business in the country. WWE was asked to “frame the risks” of Saudia Arabia that are outside of the company’s control, such as the risk of economic sanctions. WWE co-president George Barrios answered, “The complexity of the situation, as Vince said … All of our thoughts are encapsulated in our statement.”
WWE was then asked if there was an analogous situation they could compare it to, to which Barrios flatly answered, “no.”

Johnny Impact On Why He Has Heat With Triple H

Johnny Impact defeated Austin Aries two weeks ago to win the Impact World Championship at Bound For Glory, and while the match itself delivered, what happened afterwards had the wrestling world buzzing. Austin immediately got up after being pinned, yelled at Don Callis and walked to the back.
While people have since speculated about the nature of the finish, and regarding Austin's future with Impact Wrestling, the current Impact World Champion recently joined Anthony Carelli and Alicia Atout on Behind The Lights to talk about various topics, including his on-screen rivalry with Aries. Impact said that his beef with Aries was real, and that Austin crossed the line when he insulted his wife, Taya Valkyrie.
"The beef that him and I had was one hundred percent real", Impact revealed. "I guess if Austin's watching this, I apologize for using the word 'beef', because I know you don't like that kind of thing. But he in my opinion crossed the line. He legitimately pissed me off with the tweet that you mentioned specifically (calling his wife 'husky'), and I think it's because I tweeted a short joke at him. He hates short jokes, and I knew he hated short jokes, which is why I tweeted a thing like that at him.
"You're having a Twitter war. You're flinging poop back and forth, and I nailed him with a nice piece of poop, and he took the poop and threw it at Taya, and that pissed me off. I'm making light of it now because we're over it, it's past, it's done. But it did legitimately get me hot."
Johnny then dwelt on the topic of Austin's contract and Impact not renewing it, and gave his thoughts on if Aries had burned bridges with the company.
"Never say never in wrestling, and this whole situation is something that I've been thinking about, because I'm really proud of that match. He pushed me in a way in the ring that I haven't been pushed in a while, and it would be hard to have that much real emotion against someone that I really didn't want to strangle. But he didn't have to do what he did at the end of the match. And I feel like if he had just gone a step or two less far, him and I could've been cool, the office could've been cool with him, he could've worked out the contract thing, and he could've still been at Impact.
"And I'm not saying I'm sorry about how it worked out, because I'm not going to miss him, and I don't think many people in the Impact locker room are going to miss him either."
Impact also talked about his battle rap few years ago, where he mimicked Triple H and The Undertaker ahead of their WrestleMania match. Johnny revealed that he thought he and Triple H were cool, only to find out from The Miz that things weren't as amicable as he thought.
"I did that right when I left, and right when you leave WWE is when you usually get the biggest chip on your shoulder. It was kind of funny; I texted Hunter a couple of times and I told him I was going to do this battle rap video, and this was after I was completely gone, and he's like, 'What do you mean?' And I was like, 'I'm going to dress up like you and dress up like The Undertaker, and do battle raps back and forth and make fun of each other'. And he's like, 'I don't understand. But go ahead.'
"And now when I watch it back, I cringe a little bit, because I go, 'Oh, yikes!' I think I can do a better battle rap video now, and I actually feel bad about some of the stuff that I said. I was at Miz's New Year's party, and this was a year or two or three ago, and everyone asks about when you're returning to WWE. And I was like, 'Yeah, I think I have a good relationship with WWE. I'll probably go back'. Miz goes, 'Oh, you know what? Hunter keeps bringing up that battle rap video.' He goes like, 'Didn't Morrison do some battle rap video where he's burying me and 'Taker?' And until I heard that, I didn't think it was even a thing. I would've thought he would've been too busy to even realize that."
