Independent wrestler Rex Bacchus dead at age 35

Independent wrestler Rex Bacchus died on Thursday morning at age 35 following a bout with cancer. Team Vision Dojo issued the following statement on his passing:

“Independent wrestler Rex Bacchus has unfortunately lost his fight with cancer this morning around 5/6am. Rex started training training at the Team Vision Dojo at the beginning of 2015 and took right to the sport in all aspects. He was one of the hardest workers inside and outside of the ring. Rex has been battling with cancer for sometime now. Things looked good when it went into remission but the cancer came back. He had been fighting and multiple benefit shows we’re going on to help him. Last month, Rex wrestled last match in the main event of a benefit event and beat “Cancer” in a Death Match. Unfortunately, he lost the last fight but was in a comfortable place in his home with loved ones.

“Rex debuted at the Dojo on June 9, 2015 winning a multi-man tag team match. In his 3 1/2 years in the ring, Rex wrestled more than 200 matches, won multiple championships, and recently appeared wrestling on MLW. You will be missed greatly and always very much loved.”

PWInsider & WWE Get Fact Checked, Again On "Hidden Gem" That isn't "Hidden"

Since nobody at PWInsider or WWE feels the need to actually do some research when it comes to 'hidden gems' that are, I 'guess'. HIDING OUT IN PLAIN SIGHT ON YOUTUBE... And since no other wrestling news site has the balls to do this, it'll always be left up to me to do, what the other news sites are too chicken shit to do. Fact check.

So once again Paul Jordan, noted columnist at PWInsider has again made himself look like an idiot. Here's his post.

This is just sssoooo 'well hidden' that one search on YouTube? And OOHH MY MY, what do you get? HHMMM Look at this.

The very same ahem (cough cough) 'Hidden Gem' that's been on YouTube for three years now.. That's right, three... Years...

Someday, Research will become PWInsider's and WWE's friend, they desperately need to do it, OOORR. Just continue to look stupid thanks to me by not doing it, their choice really. 

New MLW Signing

Major League Wrestling has signed California star Jacob Fatu, 

Fatu, the son of former WWE star The Tonga Kid aka Tama of the Islanders, has been wrestling for several years using the "Samoan Werewolf" nickname.  I've always been impressed with his work when I've covered shows he's worked.

The plan is for Fatu to get a big push out of the gate as a heel with the company.  There have already been comparisons internally between Fatu's work and the late Umaga, which is obviously high praise.

MLW owner Court Bauer first broke into the business learning under the Anoa'i family and has used Samu and Lance Anoa'i in this incarnation of MLW.
