Monday Mumblings- Random Thoughts and other things.

I did actually start writing this at 11:00 last night (Monday). :)

I think I'm going to make this a weekly thing, Back in the day I had a column called “Below The Belt w/Bill “ that appeared in The Wrestling Edge, Pro Wrestling Monthly, and acouple other mail order monthly newsletters. So since I'm feeling that itch to voice my opinions loud and proud, I'll do this every week, thoughts and opinions, answer any questions that may come thru my email, Twitter and/or FB. Hell it's my blog, my platform to say what I want, how I want, so why not, right? :)

Aleister Black said his goodbyes to NXT during a house show in San Antonio, Texas this weekend. He along with the other call-ups will still be part of the NXT TV tapings at least through the next TakeOver.

So this goof, 'says his goodbyes to NXT' at a house show, KNOWING he's STILL going to be part of the tapings thru maybe the next “TakeOver' show? Doesn't he realize how fucking dumb that was? You say your goodbyes when it's YOUR LAST APPEARANCE THERE, IN THE COMPANY.... DUMB ASS! Whoever the agent was who thought THAT, was a great idea needs to go back to agent school.


Speaking of dumb shit, there's this.

NWO Sting (Jeff Farmer) will be an entrant in the clusterfuck match at Joey Janela’s Spring Break 3, part two in Jersey City, New Jersey on Saturday, April 6.

The 'story' (cough cough) behind this is 'allegedly' they paid twenty grand and got the WRONG STING! Now.. This either comes off as one of the lamest fucking story lines I've ever heard, OR Joey's a fucking moron if this was actually true. I mean seriously, how is it one can pay all that cash and get the WRONG PERFORMER? Nobody can be this fucking clueless, can they? Hell why not get Brian Lee to be the Underfaker, Tom Brandi to be the phony ass Patriot and get Rick Bognar to be the fake Razor Ramon again while you're at it. That way you can have a 'fake gimmick fatal four way'.

I mean really, who really wants to see a fake Sting? Come on, everyone who wants that, raise your hands.. Raise your hands really high... I seriously doubt I'm going to be seeing many hands being raised.

Dave Schilling, a writer who has previously written for Grantland and VICE among others, tweeted that he will be joining the WWE writing team next month.

Everyone's raving about the new writers, producers being hired by the WWE. But everyone one of these fans/ WWE Fanboys/marks forget one little thing. It doesn't matter what experiences they bring to the table from OTHER organizations. They all, will have to learn how to do things 'The WWE Way', which means all the producing and creating ideas in the world won't mean shit, if Vince McMahon craps on those ideas and goes with what he feels on a whim (which seems to happen on a weekly basis). But of course, the Meltzers, Kellers, Scherers, etc won't DARE 'say that'. They want to keep their VIP memberships happy and make sure they can get in on media calls and not piss off their sources by telling it like it is. So I'll forever be 'that guy', who will have the balls to say what they won't because I have no need or want for a VIP membership, could care less if I'm in on media calls or not, and all that other bullshit those others foam at the mouth over.

I got into a back and forth on YouTube with someone over Eddie Kingston. (Shots of it will be posted so you can see it for yourself). One guy said Kingston couldn't hang in Impact and when I brought up the fact that he's getting over in every indy company that's booking him, another tried to say nobody cares about him. I always find it funny when I present solid facts that bury willy nilly claims by fans/marks they suddenly back up, and try something else that gets shot down by more facts. I've always been a solid fan of Eddie Kingston, he's great on the mic and can get over any story line or angle that's presented to him, no matter what company is booking him. So it goes back to again, Callis and D'Amore (Or more so, Impact Wrestling) dropping the ball on yet another great talent who's now getting over everywhere he appears at and is showing that indeed, Impact did fuck up.




Bruce Prichard is back in creative at WWE while WWE got rid of Arn Anderson. HHMM, maybe it's me but I don't see this as a great trade off. Get rid of a guy whose knowledge is golden just so Vince McMahon can have one of his old 'yes men' back in the fold? Now unlike the Twitter marks and FB fan boys, I.. Actually have HAD interactions with Bruce Prichard when he was part of the WWF Training Dojo back in 1998 (Which was ran by Dory Funk jr. and Tom Prichard). The Dojo regularly headlined shows for WWA New England (who I was working for, behind the scenes, helping setting up ring, chairs, locally promoting shows for them in NH). I have no real beef with him and he was knowledgeable in the areas I asked him about, BUT... Who really has credited Bruce Prichard with advancing or helping with their career? Anyone? Anyone?

If you're a pro wrestler and you wanted solid advice that would indeed help you in the long run, who would you go to? Arn Anderson? Who HAS been in the ring, done promos and gotten over some of the most well known stables and stars Professional Wrestling has ever seen? OORRR.. Bruce Prichard, who's only real gimmick was Brother Love (And 'The expert' with Eddie Gilbert in Global Wrestling Federation)?

One hand.. Arn Anderson whose list of accomplishments is endless, The other hand... Bruce Prichard who's mostly been kissing McMahon's ass even away from WWE on his podcast? HHHMMM, (balancing both hands, up and down trying to make a decision). Even a blind man can see that Anderson was and will always be, the better choice.

How is it that a so called 'major' wrestling company go and delete 16 hours of material, and use “saving space on their server” as their excuse for doing it? ESPECIALLY when it just happens to be the very material they're being sued over? As most know that's exactly, what Impact Wrestling is claiming. (Proof of that is shown with a screenshot I got from Twitter)





Seems JJUUSSST ALITTLE 'convenient' that the very material they deleted is the very material Jeff Jarrett is suing them over.. OOHH WWOOW, gee whiz, what are the odds of this happening just as you're in the middle of a lawsuit?


Come on, anyone can see this was a bullshit move in every sense of the word. Deleting the said footage isn't going to get them out of the lawsuit and whoever the dumb ass was that thought deleting all that was a great idea? I'd love to see them explain that to a judge, explain what the logic was behind it. Out of sight, out of the lawsuit? LOL. Yeah ok stupid, nice try.

It shouldn't really come as no big surprise that Impact keeps doing stupid shit, remember this is the very company that thought that THIS... Would be a credible looking world title belt at one time.

So Black Label pro Wrestling (based in Indiana) is booking, get this... The Godfather AND.. Papa Shango for a show in South bend, Indiana in April. Both gimmicks in the same company, on the same show on the same day...While that usually WOULD be a big draw? There's just OONNEE LITTLE PROBLEM here that no other wrestling site will have the balls to bring up, but.. Since I am 'that guy', I'll do it for them..

The WWWWEE little problem with booking both these gimmicks is... THEY'RE BOTH THE SAME FUCKING GUY!!! How are fans not gonna notice that both gimmicks have the very same tattoos? Is 'The Godfather' gonna wear a long sleeve shirt to cover them up so that way .. ahem.. 'Papa Shango' can come out wearing a t-shirt? SOMEONE really hasn't thought this thru very well.

This isn't a new trick by any means either. Tom Brandi used to get himself booked on shows as three different gimmicks. Tom Brandi, Salvatore Sincere AND THEN come out wearing a mask as 'The Patriot', hoping that fans wouldn't notice that ALL THREE had the very same
physique. Fans aren't that dumb so I'd love to see how Charles Wright pulls this one off without any fan noticing the fucking obvious.

And finally.. Someone (whose name won' be revealed because he currently works for a very major wrestling company, and I've known him/her since they first started at a wrestling school somewhere) asked me “You slam Dave Scherer And Mike Johnson at PWInsider all the time why don't you pick on Meltzer or someone like that”?

Well.. I HAVE.. And still do every chance I get.. I'll list links to examples of it right here.
