PPW High Voltage - March 31, 2019 - Rich Swann vs. KC Navarro vs. Desean Pratt

PPW is in the middle of Super Show season and High Voltage is no different. This week's Main Event features the returning TNA X-Division Champion Rich Swann as he takes on KC Navarro and Desean Pratt in a match that some are calling PPW Match of the Year worthy. Pratt and Navarro haven't been on the same page lately and it's blown up into full out competition between the two. The match is incredible and a must-watch. Elsewhere, the No Limits Championship was won recently by Charles Mason after he snuck a victory out in the PPW Battle Royal from Laszlo who had thought he'd won the title. Mason popped out from under the ring to dump him over the top and claim the prize. Evander James seems to have a change of pace on the way he views things. He gives a heart felt apology to the fans of Hazleton for his misguided ways, then proceeds to have PPW Commissioner TJ Masters come out and challenge Evander with his representative – Adam Chandler. All of this this week on PPW High Voltage airing Sunday at 8pm on WYLN-35 and PPW Facebook Page.

WWE Edits Triple H's Shots At All Elite Wrestling

Why edit it out? Scared they'll get slammed back and be put in check? He already said what he did and no amount of editing will be able to erase that fact. 

Triple H's comments on All Elite Wrestling were edited out of the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony replay, including the one-hour USA Network special that aired last Monday and this Monday.

As noted before, Triple H took shots at AEW during the induction for DX earlier this month. While joking around about being corporate now, The Game said apparently these days if you put the "EVP" title in front of someone, it makes them feel important. AEW's Executive Vice Presidents include Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks.

Triple H then called AEW a "piss-ant" company after DX joked around about not being able to name Vince McMahon during their speech. Billy Gunn said Vince couldn't fire him anymore, a reference to Gunn working for AEW. The Gunn joke led to fans in the audience doing an "AEW" chant. Triple H responded, "Billy, let's be honest. He would buy that piss-ant company just to fire you again."

Everyone laughed at that reference and another line from WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels. When joking about always counting on Gunn to under-deliver, Michaels said, "You can always count on 'ol Billy Gunn to over-promise and under-deliver. We thank you for being out here and being 'All In'."

The replay of the speech ended with Gunn joking about Vince not being able to fire him now. you can hear Triple H's "piss-ant" line below:

BRIAN CHRISTOPHER TBI INVESTIGATION CONCLUDES

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation confirmed toseveralo sources that they have concluded their investigation in the July 2018 death of former WWE star Brian "Christopher" Lawler last year while incarcerated following an arrest for DUI.

"Our investigation has concluded and all findings have been turned over to District Attorney General Mark Davidson.  I will have to refer any questions to his office," TBI's Keli McAlister told different outlets.  inquries to Davidson's office by various news sources have not yet received a replay.

Attorneys representing Jerry Lawler and the estate of his son Brian Lawler filing subpoenas demanding the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and The Hardeman County Sheriff's Office provide them with information on the ongoing investigation into Brian passing back in Janauary  The TBI investigation was opened the same day Lawler passed away after being taken off life support after he allegedly hung himself while incarcerated in Bolivar, TN. 

“We were tired of waiting. This family has waited for over six months for the Hardeman County Sheriff Department to provide them with detailed explanation and the documentation as to what happened to their son and we decided to take the into our own hands,” Attorney Jeff Rosenblum told Memphis ABC affiliate channel 24 back in January.

In August 2018, Jerry Lawler explained why he did not believe his son killed himself in an interview with WMC-TV, explaining that his family was told that Brian hung himself with his shoelaces, but photos taken of Brian at the hospital show marks on the sides of his neck but not the front of his throat.  Lawler explained that the area that did not feature any marks would be the size of his son’s hand, which leads him to believe Brian was trying to use his hand to try and “keep the pressure” off his throat.

"We've received literally countless calls, text messages from people, actual eyewitnesses, that were in the jail and saw things that happened on the actual day that Brian died that now has opened up a new can of worms," Lawler told WMC-TV in January. "It just doesn't seem like it was suicide."

Lawler said the same day his son allegedly took his life, they had spoken that morning via the telephone at 11 AM and Brian “talked perfectly normal, perfectly rational."   Later, Lawler's fiancée received a phone call around 2 PM informing them Brian had been in a fight with another inmate, even though he was supposed to have been kept away from other prisoners.  Lawler stated that his son had requested medical attention as he was bleeding from the head but “apparently” did not receive it and several hours later, was found dead in his cell.  Lawler stated that the Sheriff had previously given him personal assurances that Brian would be OK while incarcerated. Lawler also alleged that twenty security cameras in the County Jail were not operating the day his son died.

While the official, announced cause of Brian Lawler's death is suicide by hanging, Jerry Lawler commented that “doesn't pass the smell test” and promised in 2018 that he was not going to stop pursuing the issue until he had answers.  Lawler also stated that Brian's fellow inmates have told him they don't think his death was suicide, and there's still no medical examiner's report.

The TBI and The Hardeman's Sherriff's office were told in January they needed to provide information to the Lawler family and estate by February 26th.

With the investigation turned over to the District Attorney's office, there is no word if or when the findings of the investigation will be made public.
