Mat Mumblings- Thoughts, Opinions & Proof Again I Was Right On Something

A few things to cover on this Mat Mumblings so I'll get right to it.

After reading and hearing all the hoopla on Rhonda Rousey's “Heel Turn”, I went and looked at acouple things on it. Now remember I don't follow WWE for many well documented reasons that WWE continues to prove me correct on, THIS.. Would be another example of it.

Now there's two ways of looking at this. First, and WWE has established a LONG PATTERN of doing this, they have a golden goose and they go and fucked it up. You have a money making machine in Rousey's name value so why not let her go out there and be the UFC fighter she's been? Why have her waving and smiling and whatnot when she really didn't do that when she was in the UFC?

Which comes to the number two way of looking at this, which coincides with the first way. Why didn't they do this 'heel' kind of thing from the get go? Why have you waited until NOW... To try this and see if this puts more asses ins eats at the TV tapings and more buys for the PPV's? (Or even more subscriptions to their network)?

Because as I've said over and over... And over again for years. The creative in WWE is 'creatively challenged'. Where you have the most obvious, most simplistic way to present a name or gimmick, they keep fucking it up because they micromanage every little thing. But when it comes to just presenting a straight ahead bad ass in a simple way? Letting them go out there and do what made them become a 'name' to begin with? Something that simple is for some reason, too complicated for WWE ( And Impact Wrestling as well) to grasp for some reason.

If you think you can't present someone that simply? Like years before guys like Stan Hansen, Bruiser Brody, Terry Gordy, Medusa Micheli, etc etc, were before? You say it can't be done today? WELL.. That's bullshit and here's a list of great examples that prove it. WALTER, Rampage Brown, Zack Gibson, CCW and Stonewall in WWA Kentucky, Beau James in AMW, Rex Anderson in Reality Of Wrestling, just to name a few, and I can keep going with examples.

So the bottom line is that WWE and their way of doing things complicates the most simple basic way of presenting talent that continues to work to this day, and it doesn't matter how many new producers they hire. They all have to learn how to do it the WWE way and learn how complicating simple ways is THE WAT in the WWE because it is after all, 'The WWE way” and it's also proven to NOT be, THE WAY.

Which brings me to the next thing, speaking of 'new producers' and creative people.

They get rid of a golden goose like Arn Anderson and replace him with of all people, Jeff Jarrett. Just like I said last time when I said they got rid of Anderson and put Bruce Prichard in, that there's something very wrong with this picture... Same statement applies with Jarrett as well.

I mean yes yes, he's a second generation wrestler and all that, but really, he wasn't a GOOD second generation wrestler. His biggest thing was stealing Wayne Ferris's smashing a guitar over opponent's heads gimmick, not to mention how much he force fed himself down people's throats when he started TNA (now Impact Wrestling) because he was the booker and he had to put himself over more than other more established, or better talent. It was a long running joke seeing Jarrett try to prove to people he was a main event draw when the reality was, and still is.. he wasn't and never was going to be unless he.. Booked himself to be that way.

And let's not forget how well his Global Force Wrestling turned out to be as well. Global Farce Wrestling and another in acouple different running jokes that go with the name Jeff Jarrett, but hey, let's put someone like him in a creative spot and get rid of the guy ALOT of wrestlers have credited their careers to in Arn Anderson.

Seriously, how many wrestlers credit Jeff Jarrett for their careers becoming a success? I'll wait.. I'll be waiting for awhile and even if someone does come up with a name, it won't even come close to the amount of people who credit Arn Anderson.

The death of King Kong Bundy was like another chapter in my life ending. Besides seeing him growing up in the WWF and later a short stint in the AWA as “Boom Boom” Bundy, I was able to meet him when I went to a Sylvano Sousa AWF show in Manchester NH in 1997. I had just got my break to start working for Sousa when Bundy made his appearance in Manchester (He would appear for Sousa in Haverhill, Mass. at a “Night Of Legends' show Sousa did and another Sousa show in Nashua, NH as well).

The first interaction I ever had with him was during intermission at the first Sousa show I saw him at, he's doing autographs and pictures and he sees me eating my third burger(where he was was right next to the food concession) and he says “How many of them you gonna eat”? Without thinking I replied with “Want me to buy you one”? He looks at the guy hired by Sousa to help take pictures and says “You don't hear that every day, people think cause I worked for the WWF that I'm a millionaire and I should buy them dinner and here's this guy offering to buy me dinner”. He did re-enforce a theory I had back when he was known as “Boom Boom Bundy' in the AWA. I asked him about that and explained that I knew Bruiser Brody was known as King Kong Brody there and I wonder if your name change and Brody's had to do with the fact Dick The Bruiser was the well known legend in the Midwest. He looked at me and said “How'd you know that? That's absolutely correct”. I then explained growing up in Chicago watching AWA and Bruiser's/Luce's promotions..

Here's a clip of Bundy yelling at me at the second Sousa show he appeared at, in Nashua, NH. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_52zxiL-yeo&t=1s We joked about that a week later when we saw each other in Haverhill, Mass.

Guys like him, Crusher Blackwell, One Man Gang and Bigelow will always be in the 'go to' dept. when it comes to watching old wrestling on YouTube. Will be missed by many and I thank him for the memories he gave to me.

So I posted acouple stories on Indy wrestlers acting very inappropriately towards female fans at shows acouple weeks back. This one https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2019/02/indy-company-cancels-show-because-of.html and this one https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2019/03/ndependent-wrestler-jaden-roller-outed.html

When I posted both I said then and have been proven correct now.. That guys like Meltzer, Keller, Scherer and Johnson ar PWInsider, WrestlingInc, etc wouldn't have the balls to cover it (Unless it involved someone on the WWE, Impact, ROH or AEW Rosters). LO AND BEHOLD... I was right.. Meltzer even tried to lie and claim he covered it but when he was called out to provide proof? He quickly got quiet. Someone beat me to it but was nice enough to send me the email convo between he and Meltzer and you'll see that the guy also sent the links to the other wrestling writers I mentioned and they of course, showed a lack of balls in covering it because pushing Bella Twins Ratings, free podcasts and VIP memberships are just 'wwwaayy more important' than doing a story on wrestlers acting like sick perverts on shows they're paid to perform on.

As an added fact to this, I've talked to not one, not two, BUT THREE different people who subscribe to Meltzer's dirt sheet and all three went thru the back editions/issues of the Observer (One went back thru three and a half months of the issue he gets snail mail) and Meltzer outright lied. Guess Meltzer didn't think when he lied he was gonna get his ass called out for proof, but surprise.. he was, and no surprise.. he suddenly went silent, imagine that.

So in the end it's as I've always said and will continue to say. You can thank me for being the guy who has the balls to write or post the things the other so called 'well known' writers are too chickenshit to cover. At least I'll so what they'll keep bitching up on doing because in the end, serious stories like the ones I put links to will always be more important than seeing if you can get another quarter from a VIP membership or dirtsheet subscription. So again, you can thank me, for being the guy those others will never have the balls to be. :)
