RISE- May 17 on iPPV - Rosemary vs. Cherry Bomb in a STEEL CAGE! (So Much For Allie 'Dying ' In Impact, LOL)

LOL. This pretty much kills Don Callis's and Scotty D'Amore's 'booking brilliance' of having Allie (AKA Cherry Bomb) 'dying' in Impact.  Or.. This just shows how pathetically STUPID.. Callis's and D'Amore's booking is. :)

 To date, no one has been able to stop the onslaught, the torment of Rosemary. May 17, Cherry Bomb returns for one last shot at The Demon inside a STEEL CAGE. One way or another, one must come to their end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jcsYCtICVs

Complaints Of WWE Wrestlers Going Over PROGRESS Wrestlers On A PROGRESS Show? (nnoo way, LOL!)

Say it ain't so, LOL. I mean GOD FORBID, that WWE talent would actually put over another company's talent, especially on that company's own show.. MY GOD that would actually make some sense and make the company's talents, as well as the company as a whole look stronger if WWE guys put over acouple of the local talents, at least. BUT.. As we know, that's not the 'WWE mentality'. 

David Starr beat Jordan Devlin to win the Super Strong Style 16 tournament but on the past three days by Progress. There were complaints about so much WWE talent beating the locals with Progress' affiliation with WWE, but Starr is a non-WWE talent who went over at the end. Heard lots of really strong matches today.

Triple H 'likes' A Fan's Tweet, Then Goes And 'Unlikes' It, Hoping Nobody Would Catch It

Too late dummy, someone caught it. Too gutless to stand your ground with that like? MMAAYYBBE you know 'daddy' wouldn't approve of it? LOL.

Triple H had fans talking on social media this afternoon when he "liked" a fan tweet that was sent to Vince McMahon on why the WWE ratings might be down, and about how talents should have health insurance.
The fan wrote, "@VinceMcMahon maybe the problem with the Raw and SmackDown ratings isn't due to wrestlers injured, it's that you put confusing and pointless storylines. Although it wouldn't hurt if you gave your wrestlers insurance. Just a thought @StephMcMahon @TripleH @WWE"
Triple H un-liked the tweet within 3 hours of liking it, and it no longer appears under the tab on his account. You can see a screenshot of the "like" on Triple H's page before he un-liked it below..

The Humor Of Impact's Low Attendance At The 2300 Arena Continues, And Other Notes

Such a legendary arena in such a big city for a so called 'major event' with so much 'big name talent' and this was the best they could scrape up. 

It's been noted that last night at Code Red pegged the Friday taping attendance at 350-400 (more than the estimate we received from multiple people) and Saturday at 450-500, which is about the same estimate.  Code Red had in the 500-600 range last night.

Of course someone in Anthem Sports will boast and claim that that low attendance was a 'success' when the reality is, it isn't, it's fucking disappointing especially when the place can hold 1300 people in it. THAT.. Says it all about the product of Impact Wrestling right there and that they didn't something wrong when it came to the actual 'promoting' of the show. Half filled building for TV tapings and an event like Code Red shows that these 'changes' Callis has made isn't resulting in people buying tickets. 

But of course you KNOW, they'll spin and avoid the obvious of that at all costs.

For LAX, the push to sign them by Impact to a new, long-term deal continues.  It was apparent last night in NYC they were the most popular act on the show and are very much in a position where it's the right time and place for them as given the nuclear arms race to sign talents right now, they will very much be in demand.  Last night was very much a homecoming for them and they had a lot of family members in attendance at Code Red.

Last night's iPPV was titled Code Red because the original plan for the United We Stand event last month over Wrestlemania weekend was for The Amazing Red to capture the X in the Ultimate X match and challenge Rich Swann for the title in his home promotion and building.  Red announced on 4/1 that he has been advised by doctors that he needed to retire immediately.  We are told it's a neck issue.  Red was not at the show last night.  Johnny Impact ended up with the Ultimate X match win instead.

The big talk of the locker room over the weekend was Sabu's performance at the TV taping this past Saturday in Philly, where he was on fire and worked like it was 1995.  There was a moment in the six man tag he worked where Sabu hit an insane DDT and the entire Impact locker room exploded backstage.  We are told that Sabu was very emotional backstage after the match as it was in the 2300 Arena and it was the highest profile match he's had in some time.  We are told Sabu is not back with Impact full-time but the door is open for future appearances.

The 6/8 Philadelphia and 6/9 Long Island Impact iPPV and Twitch broadcasts are very much still House of Hardcore shows, with Impact talents appearing and Impact getting the broadcast rights for the show.  They remain HOH events officially.

News About The ROH Creative Team

The ROH creative team is currently lead by Delirious (Hunter Johnston). Other members of the creative team include Bully Ray, Joey Mercury, Todd Sinclair, and Kevin Eck. There have been rumors that Delirious is losing power, but those rumors aren’t true. The same people who have been on the creative team for a long period of time are still in place. Everyone has a voice, but one source described Delirious as the Vince McMahon of the operation.
The only change recently to the creative team was that Joey Mercury was away for several months dealing with a legal matter, but he came back to his position at the beginning of the year when that matter was resolved. According to multiple sources, everyone has a voice on the creative team and Delirious often allows people to execute ideas some of which turn out to be good and some which turn out not to be good.
One of the reasons there has been a difference in the product is the addition of former WWE Creative Team member Dave Lagana as a producer. Lagana also produces for the NWA. According to multiple sources, Lagana has been a welcome addition to Ring of Honor as a producer. He’s not a member of the creative team, but his opinion is valued. The biggest thing that Lagana has brought to the table is being an extra body to the team capable of producing videos that execute Delirious’s vision. Lagana began producing videos for ROH in September of 2018, but began doing it full time in January.

NWA CHAMPION ALYSIN KAY CAPTURES SHINE TITLE IN JAPAN

Proving again that when Anthem Sports had a great talent, they again fucked themselves by letting that talent go, and the talent proves they can achieve greater success elsewhere.

In Sapporo, Japan on 5/6/19 SHINE Champion Miyu Yamashita faced. Allysin Kay and it's been reported that it was a good match with Kay coming out  out but did not have the NWA Women’s Title with her. (Wonder why that is, SHINE afraid to recognize the NWA for some reason?) 

 She got a nice reaction from the crowd. She refused to shake hands before the match. Kay won the title by pinning Yamashita after “The Big D” discus lariat. She will now return home to the Detroit area with the title for SHINE’s debut in Michigan on 5/10/19 at the Knights of Columbus in Livonia.
