AEW Being Investigated By The Maryland State Athletic Commission

The Maryland State Athletic Commission is reportedly investigating AEW over the "Unsanctioned Lights Out" Jon Moxley vs. Kenny Omega match that took place at AEW Full Gear on November 9.
Former WCW announcer Chris Cruise recently contacted the commission regarding the Omega vs. Moxley match and asked about their rules on blading, and allowing matches to continue if a performer is bleeding either intentionally or unintentionally, and if there was a commission doctor at the show, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
After repeated requests, Cruise was told that the commission prohibits wrestlers from deliberately lacerating themselves or their opponents, or introducing human or animal blood into the match. The commission also said they were at Full Gear and they had a doctor assigned to the show. They also stated that they were conducting a formal investigation into the match and because of that investigation, they were unable to comment on questions about the match.
Cruise recently Wrestling with History podcast and talked about why he doesn't see AEW succeeding.
"AEW has millions of dollars from the son of a billionaire and is not setting the world on fire and will not succeed," Cruise said. "It may last a long time, but will never be profitable. Somebody once said 'if you want to be a millionaire, start with a billion dollars and buy an airline.' It's the same thing with a pro wrestling organization; it's just going to bleed you dry. Not everything is guaranteed to last forever. It's my convention that wrestling has seen better days."
Below is Cruise's Facebook post from November 23, where he mentioned his plans to contact the commission:

I remember seeing this when it first aired on an independent station in NH soon after I moved there from Chicago. What this doesn't show is the promo afterwards where Valentine literally had to look down and see what title he actually won. That always stuck out in my mind, you don't even realize what title you won? Damn.

Mike Kanellis On Why WWE Is Refusing To Grant His Release

Recently on The Smarks & Stripes podcast, current WWE Superstar Mike Kanellis opened up about requesting his release from WWE. Kanellis explained why he feels he is not getting opportunities with the sports entertainment juggernaut. Also, Kanellis shared that he understands why his request for a release has not been granted.
On the subject of Kanellis requesting his release from WWE on October 14, 2019, the former Mike Bennett indicated that it was more of a personal challenge for himself rather than displeasure with the company.
"For me, it was all personal," Kanellis stated. "It had nothing to do with the company. Since the minute I got to WWE, they've treated me great; they've treated my wife great; they've treated my daughter great. They've treated me great. When I came out and said that I had an addiction, there was no negativity from anybody - it was just constant support.
"And so, for me personally having been almost two-and-a-half years sober, it got to the point where I started reflecting on my past and what I did and it became very hard for me to almost sit and reflect on the fact that I blew four years of my life doing drugs and now I felt like my mind is clear, my head is clear, and I just wanted to work. I just wanted to wrestle. I just want to work. Like, I feel like I could do and have my best matches right now and it's extremely difficult when there [are] so many people on the roster and you just don't get that opportunity."
Kanellis claimed that he would be happy to find himself involved in an ongoing WWE storyline, but just has not been getting the opportunities.
"I'm not mad at anybody and if WWE called me tomorrow and said, 'we're going to put you on TV,' I'd do it," Kanellis said. "I'm not mad. I just want to work and I just want to work a lot. I want to be able to go home and tell my daughter that 'daddy put in the time, daddy put in the effort,' and it's incredibly difficult for me to go on social media and preach that you have to work hard,' 'you have to work your ass off,' and then not do it myself. And so, I'm a worker and I've always been a worker. And I'm at a point where I just want to work, and work, and work. And I'll go wherever that opportunity exists."
When asked why he is not getting opportunities in WWE, the two-time WWE 24/7 Champion explained that there are so many talented performers on the WWE roster and that they are basically guaranteed spots as long as they continue to perform well and avoid injuries.
"Well, I think, honestly, again, I should go back to it, there [are] so many talented guys on the roster right now," Kanellis said. "So I mean, and I'm not saying I'm not and I'm not saying I wouldn't be a good fit, but what I am saying is if those guys are getting the opportunity and they are doing their job, and they're successful at it, then they're not necessarily going to look for next man up because there's no need. You hope that it's next many up - you don't hope that someone goes down [with an injury] - but you hope that you're ready if someone goes down. But [pro] wrestling right now is just loaded with talent. Like, I see people talking about it. It's the best I've ever seen in any company, on the independents, on any national company, it's just loaded. Like, everyone is just really friggin' good right now."
Kanellis added, "and I just think that's why I think my opportunity hasn't existed."
According to Kanellis, he understands why WWE will not grant his release and provided a sports analogy to illustrate his point that there is value in one organization preventing talent from migrating to a competing organization.
"As far as [WWE] not giving me my release, I think it's like anywhere," Kanellis pondered. "The [New England] Patriots aren't going to release someone they think the [New York] Jets are going to pick up. And I think we have to think of it like that. It's not negative - that's just how it works! It works in sports and it works in [pro] wrestling."

Joey Janela Hoped Nobody Would See This Tweet, BUT.... Here It Is

AEW star Joey Janela took to Twitter on Tuesday night and made an interesting tweet that has since been deleted.
Janela noted that he did not get on his flight to Chicago for tonight's Dynamite episode, and said AEW officials aren't answering his phone calls.
He wrote, "Didn't get on my flight for @AEWrestling Dynamite tonight, I'm not going.... Nothing was addressed about the way I was eliminated from the match last week, I'm losing all the steam I created on my own through 14 years of hard work, right these wrongs and answer the phone..."
Janela then deleted the tweet shortly after. There's no word yet on if this is part of an angle, but we will keep you updated.
Janela was not previously announced for a match on tonight's Dynamite episode and really hasn't received much focus over the past few months. He worked the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royale last Wednesday night but was eliminated by Shawn Spears during a commercial break.
You can see a screenshot of Janela's deleted tweet below:

Eli Drake On Past Problems With WWE, Why He Turned WWE Down, AEW Deal Falling Through

Recently on The Steve Austin ShowWWE Hall Of Famer Steve Austin was joined on the program by NWA's Eli Drake. Among many other things, Drake talked about rubbing people the wrong way in WWE and Impact Wrestling.
On the subject of his brief WWE run, Drake said he rubbed people the wrong way as people tend to misunderstand his shyness.
"I can be very misunderstood in a lot of ways. When I was at the Performance Center, I was super hated for probably two or three months because I'm a quite guy. I'm very much an introvert and it shocks people when they see what I do on TV because I'm verbose and I talk a lot." Drake continued, "everywhere I go that happens. I don't know if it is demeanor, the way I carry myself, or what it is. I think I carry myself very confidently, but then, me not talking to people I think translates [into] 'I don't want to talk to them' or whatever it is."
Apparently, Drake experienced similar issues at Impact until 'The Defiant One' let loose with the boys after Bound For Glory (2015).
"Same thing at Impact," Drake explained. "But one very sauced-up night after Bound For Glory (2015), a bunch of the guys like Robbie E., Simon Diamond, all these guys would joke that it was the biggest babyface turn in locker room history because I was super hated and then that one night it was just a big pivotal turn where all-of-a-sudden everyone loved me."
With respect to Drake's issues with former WWE trainer Bill DeMott, Drake indicated that the problems really began when he was late for Mattel action figure scans. Drake was not allowed to get scanned for his toy and he was pulled from live events and SmackDown.
"Mattel was coming in to do scans of everybody and I was put on that short list of guys to do the scans," Drake said. "Well, we had an NXT taping the night before and I had no food for the next day and again, being body conscious just like an idiot, not like an idiot, but in that moment like an idiot, I stayed up till 2 in the morning prepping food for the next day. Well, I had to get up at 6 am. to go to the Performance Center. I find out the hard way, I don't know what kind of phone you have, but I had a Samsung Galaxy at the time, and if you don't answer that alarm within 1 minute, it shuts off by itself. And I found out the hard way."
Drake continued, "I think I woke up 10 minutes before I was supposed to be there. I'm rushing in. I'm trying to call Bill, 'hey, I'm on my way in.' I get in there and I'm there 30 minutes late, but I'm still there before Mattel, so I'm like, 'okay, we should be fine. Fine me. Whatever you guys have got to do, I'm good.' And Bill's just like, 'no, you can't stay here. It sends a bad message.' And I'm like, 'Bill, you're killing me. This is a huge opportunity. Fine me! I'll do whatever we need to do.' And he's like, 'no, you've got to go.' He sends me out and I'm thinking, like, 'this is awful, this is terrible, this is really bad. It's a really bad punishment, but that wasn't the end of it. Then, I was taken off SmackDown. I was supposed to go to SmackDown in like 2 weeks. They took me off of that. They took me off the next probably three weeks to a month of live events in NXT. And I was like, 'Goddamn, you guys are really beating this one into me!'"
According to Drake, DeMott was the only WWE coach with whom he had heat.
"I don't know if you know Chris Chambers. Of course you know Michael Cole. Dusty Rhodes. Of course, you know Dusty. They're all putting me over. Like, 'you should be on RAW, SmackDown, whatever.' This is when NXT was still just coming up. They're like, 'you're ready for everything. I don't know if you have heat, this, that, or the other.' But I think I went to do a dark match in NXT one time and Michael Cole's talking about, 'we want you to go down and do this, this,' and he was saying something to Bill about, 'hey, can we have him for…' I forget what it was, but they wanted me for something at the Performance Center. I'm standing right there and Bill just goes, 'yeah, we'll do that, but he doesn't take direction very well.' I was like, 'well, goddamn Bill!'"
Drake explained, "he was the only coach I had heat with. Bill Gunn, we were great! Norman Smiley, we were great! Robbie Brookside, we were great! [William] Regal, we were great! All these guys, Joey Mercury always put me over, but for whatever reason there was just heat there. [DeMott] was the one guy who writes the reports and decides if you're moving on or not."
Drake noted that WWE legend and NXT guru Triple H told him that he is his own worst enemy.  
"At some point, when I ended up getting released, it was Triple H," Drake recalled. "I went up to talk to him the night before and I said, 'I don't know if you know a lot about what I'm doing, but I'd like to have an opportunity to try and showcase whether it's talking, character, whatever I do, and I was ready to make some pitches. And he was like, 'I know about you. You're very talented. People have been putting you over, but the problem is that you're your own worst enemy."
Drake has alluded to receiving interest from WWE in the past and clarified his remarks saying WWE had been interested for the last 3 years, but Impact kept giving him raises to keep 'The Namer Of Dummies' with the company. Moreover, Drake may regret not going to WWE given how much money WWE Superstars are making now. While Drake will reconsider his options in the future, he seemed content with NWA at the moment.  
"There [has] been interest from WWE for the last 3 years, but I kept turning them down because Impact kept giving me raises, which, maybe, in the long term, might not have been the best move only because your up potential in WWE is so crazy. Just the money people are making from the Saudi shows and now with AEW and whatnot, people are getting more money out of that too. But it was kind of to the point for 3 years, I was kind of ringing their bell, and then turned away, and went somewhere else. I probably annoyed the s--t out of them at this point, so I don't know.
"AEW, there was interest there. We kind of had a deal worked out, but that ended up falling through. And then, I talked to Ring Of Honor. I talked to NWA. The most appealing offer I had was from NWA with Billy Corgan and Dave Lagana. So at this point, I feel like it [has] got such a buzz. Obviously, it's brand new and who knows where it's going to go or what it's going to do? It's on YouTube now. I know a lot of people kind of look down at that, but you have to look at it like it is accessible to anybody anywhere. Maybe that seems a little low rent in some sense, but I actually think it's kind of rock 'n' roll, which is exactly what Billy is. As he says, he innovates in the space he is given and I think that's the way to go. Right now, I love what I'm doing with the NWA. Whether that means I stay there and make that place the best place it could possibly be or somebody comes along with an offer, at the end of the day, I'm a business man and I am my own business, so anything is possible, but it all depends on what is on the table. At this point, my main focus is NWA because it's hot. It's the only different thing, to me, that I see going on in [pro] wrestling today. Everything else just kind of resembles each other and we're the one thing that looks very incredibly different and feels different."
Drake added, "to me, it's NWA at this point."

Sinn Bodhi Would Like Credit For Inspiring Bray Wyatt's Character

Indie wrestling star, Sinn Bodhi, formerly known as 'Kizarny' in WWE, was recently on Jordan Garber's NOW show to discuss how his career has evolved since leaving WWE. Bodhi took some time to talk about former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston and how he would end up bleeding during the majority of their matches together.
"We wrestled a few times in OVW," Bodhi said. "Kofi's a great guy; I think he's super talented and I think Murphy's law did not like me and Kofi in the ring together because every time me and Kofi were in the ring together, he busted me open somehow. In the few times that we wrestled, I got busted open over something silly or weird. But I have nothing but good things to say about him and all of his success despite how many times he's busted me open with a clothesline.
Bodhi believes that his 'Kizarny' character in WWE set the stage for future characters like "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt and other circus inspired performances. He says that he would like Wyatt to reference him as an inspiration so that his career might gain some benefit from it.
"I have no problem with circus guys like Bray Wyatt doing anything in this business. I don't have a copyright, it's just that if someone wants to be influenced or borrow something be my guest, but just reference it and put over where you got an idea," Bodhi said. "I have so many influences on things I do i don't take anything outright I just take bits and pieces and morph it into myself. If he was to say Bodhi was where I got a lot of my stuff from, that would help stuff out from me with promoters. In the long run, we eventually talked things out in private and I'm super glad how things turned out. When I see guys like Bray Wyatt, I hope he cares about me as much as I care about him and I'm glad he is successful and doing his thing. I like his character."
Bodhi is grateful for the experience he received battling rising star at the time, MVP, on both SmackDown and some live events that followed. At the end of the day, he sees himself as another performer that was trapped on the mid-card and didn't excel politically backstage.
"I wrestled MVP and he was great, and we had some fun matches during a few months at the SmackDown live events," Bodhi said. "But for the most part, I was that TV guy that was stuck on the middle of this card full of these mega legends like Triple H, Mark Henry, Edge, Christian and more of the coolest and best talent and then there's this old me where nobody knows who he is. And me and MVP were pulling some pretty good matches and we'd come in the back and agents like Malenko and Arn Anderson would walk up to us and say good job boys. And I was always super flattered; I just think, politically, things didn't go my way."

THIS? Is How AEW Wants To Be An Alternative To WWE? LMAO! Cody Rhodes Looking To Trademark More WCW PPV Names

Yeah, Hell of a way to try and BE an 'alternative, LMAO!

In regards to AEW EVP Cody Rhodes, he has applied for "Slamboree" (also on November 19) and "SuperBrawl," both were WCW PPV names. Slamboree had a run from 1993 until 2000, the company was then sold to WWE in 2001. The trademark filed by WCW, expired in 2005. SuperBrawl ran from 1991 until 2001 with the trademark expiring in 2005.

AEW President Tony Khan was quoted about  and commented on the Bash at the Beach trademark that was filed for. AEW Dynamite: Bash at the Beach will take place on January 15 in Miami, Florida. A second episode will be filmed on Jericho's cruise and air on January 22.
"Cody went on a trademark binge one night and he texted me, 'Conrad and I were up all night trademarking stuff.' One of the things that came out of it was Bash at the Beach. So, when he said that we thought of a way to use it … and the unique idea was to go to Miami in January," Khan said.
Yep, sure sounds like being an alternative to me, try and be WCW, hahahahahahhaaha.

Kelly Klein Details Her Issues With Ring Of Honor

Controversy is rife over at Ring of Honor with the recent firing of reigning ROH Women's Champion Kelly Klein. In a detailed story at Newsweek, Klein addressed the situation, which stems from a head injury she suffered in a match on October 26 during the company's UK tour.
"There was [no doctor] there to check on me," Klein said in the interview. "Nobody suggested a protocol. I wasn't aware or briefed on a protocol."
In a fortunate occurrence, the facility in the UK which housed the event did have medical personnel on hand. Klein believes that a wrestling company not having any medical staff is alarming as other major promotions such as WWE and AEW have medical staff on hand at all events and can handle procedures for dealing with injuries.
Klein finished the rest of the match and it was only when she returned to the backstage area after her match, laid down on the concrete floor of the women's dressing room, and began speaking gibberish for an hour that her colleagues realized that Klein appeared to have sustained an injury.
Another instance of a concussion for Klein came in April 2018, and as with the recent head injury, Klein says "nothing happened" regarding the medical treatment she received from the company.
In a face-to-face meeting on November 7, Klein raised her concerns with chief operating officer Joe Koff, and allegedly was told the company does have a concussion policy - something Klein claims she has never seen. She said that if there was a concussion policy, then the talent were not aware of it.
Koff also told her that Ring of Honor management is always aware when talent is hurt. Klein responded, "No, you don't, because nobody knew I had a concussion in New Orleans", referring to her April 2018 concussion.
Klein, who was fired by the company through email as revealed by her husband BJ Whitmer, says Ring of Honor did not offer to arrange or pay for treatment for her recent concussion. The lack of documented policy making it unclear to talent who is responsible for arranging medical care and costs. It's being reported that in some cases, but not all, wrestlers may be told they can invoice for the cost of appointments and procedures—but only after they have already paid out of their own pockets.
Earlier this month, former ROH staff member Joey Mercury tweeted out, with Klein's permission, e-mails sent between Klein and Gilleland, revealing that she was making under $24,000 a year with the promotion in her 2019 ROH contract.
Regarding her annual pay, Klein says she is only able to afford costly neurologist appointments and rehabilitation because she benefits from her husband BJ Whitmer's private health insurance.
"If I didn't have that, I wouldn't be able to take care of these appointments," Klein said.
The ROH Women's Champion has had her difficulties with Gilleland. While negotiating her contract for 2019 in December last year, the wrestler asked Gilleland for an annual pay of $24,000—an increase of $4,000—but was rebuffed.
Klein says that the rebuttal and lack of development of storylines for the women's division on the weekly Ring of Honor television series, makes it "very evident they value the women less" than the male wrestlers.
"There is a lack of real value of the talent in management's eyes in general," Klein said. "And then with the women especially, I don't feel that they value the women or what they're doing or how hard they're working."
A Ring of Honor spokesperson told Newsweek that "a $20,000 contract is the most ever offered for the [women's] division and is, in fact, more than what is paid to most male performers who work on a non-exclusive basis."
Klein says she is not planning to wrestle for the rest of the year as she recovers from her concussion, but will continue fighting to get better working conditions.
"I imagine part of the thought process behind trying to shut me out of Ring of Honor was that maybe the issues would no longer apply to me," Klein explained. "And I'd just drop it. But it's not ever been about how things could benefit only me. I want my friends and colleagues to have a safe and fair work environment.
"I'm still going to ask them to do better. Taking away my job there does not change the issues. I want them to be accountable for creating an unsafe environment, and the only way I know how is to have enough eyes on it that the public will have to hold them accountable."
