ACH Quits Pro Wrestling (Acting Like A Bitch All The Way)

ACH announced he was canceling his upcoming showing and quitting pro wrestling.

"I hate pro wrestling," ACH wrote on Twitter this morning. "I hate you s---ty fans that think you know it all! More importantly I hate the snakes in this industry. None of y'all would never say anything about me to me. All of y'all can go screw yourselves. I'm canceling my shows AND I'm quitting pro wrestling. Chasing my dream was great, but you self entitled pricks ruin EVERYTHING. I'm out."

This comes on the heels of ACH working at MLW Opera Cup, where Wrestling Inc. learned he almost walked out and didn't perform at the event. In a statement to PWInsider, MLW commented, "We respect ACH's decision and want him to be happy." MLW had planned on putting ACH on future shows.

Earlier this month, ACH cut a promo at AAW Unstoppable about indie wrestling taking on "the machine."

"A lot of people don't understand what 'For the Culture' means, there's gonna take that word, culture, and their gonna spin it to what they want, and that's okay," ACH said to the live crowd at Unstoppable. "That's the power of it. But what people have to understand this is the culture. These upper echelon, these billionaires believe they know what you want, but they don't know what you want because they don't come to places like this.

"They don't see the passionate fan. In fact, you go there and you get tired of what they feed you. Because this is what you want! AAW is what you wanted! Indie professional wrestling is what you want! ... So, you can take your contracts, you can shred them because I won't sign another one. I believe in the people because the people believe in me. So let it be known, it is us versus the machine, indie wrestling versus the machine".

One half of Cryme Tyme and former WWE Superstar, Shad Gaspard, had a lot to say in response to ACH, telling the former NXT Star to "grow up and understand the world doesn't revolve around you."

"On that note shut the f--- up," Gaspard responded. "If all you can do is bad mouth & talk down people and the business after people have gone out of there way to understand & help you then f--- off. Talent gets you so far in life, but it's obvious your character is one of an attention seeking ass who wants sympathy while burning others. Grow up and understand the world doesn't revolve around you. This business as well as life doesn't cater to one individual, so either suck it up and do something or shut the f--- up, cause this bipolar crying s--- is getting old."

General Adnan Talks Controversial 1990s WWE Storyline With Sgt. Slaughter

Former WWE, NWA, and AWA star Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissie (aka General Adnan while in WWE) joined VOC Nation's Wrestling with History with Ken Resnick, Bruce Wirt, and Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Brady Hicks. Adnan commented on his feelings about America during his WWE run in the early 90s, his angle with Sgt. Slaughter turning on America, the US flag burning controversy, and how deeply invested fans became with that story.

Born in Baghdad, Iraq, Adnan said he originally went to Vince McMahon and told him his feeling about the war between the US and Iraq, thinking it would make for an interesting WWE story.

"If you study history, Kuwait was inside the map of Iraq," Adnan said. "The British took it and they started using it as a resting place when they travel. Later on, [the British] returned it to the people who lived there and all the sudden they had a war. America came in and attacked Saddam Hussein and it was a huge thing. I went to Vince [McMahon] and [told him my feelings on what was happening, and said that I should team up with] Sgt. Slaughter. We could both team up and make some money."

Adnan noted the things he said about America on WWE TV at the time were actually how he felt.

"That was legit, there was no bulls--- about it," Adnan stated. "I am from Baghdad, Iraq. They bombed my country and they killed my family. They killed relatives from my family. Now [they are trying to] take Kuwait from Baghdad and they killed soldiers too. I mean I was really pissed."

Sgt. Slaughter has previously noted Vince had asked him to burn the American flag on TV, but it was something Slaughter refused to do, instead burning Hulk Hogan's shirt. Adnan said the flag was burned at some shows (likely house shows) and at one point he was approached by the FBI and CIA, asking him to "cool it down."

"We were burning the flag [at various shows]," Adnan recalled. "I was wrestling one time, five people came to the ring and wanted to talk to me. [They were] from the FBI and CIA. He said, 'The White House if very upset, but we cannot touch you. This is a free country. Do what you want, but I'm asking you to stop doing what you're doing. Take the flag, put it away, and cool it down.' We decided not to take the flag in the middle of the ring anymore."

Adnan also noted how serious wrestling fans took the story, going as far as to burn Sgt. Slaughter's house.

"They burned his house," Adnan stated. "The people hated him so much. They warned his wife and his kids [ahead of time]. When they left, they burned his house….with Sarge and I, they believed everything we did."

WALTER'S WWE UNITED KINGDOM TITLE BELT REPORTEDLY STOLEN

The WWE United Kingdom championship has reportedly been stolen.

According to acouple reports, WWE United Kingdom champion WALTER’s championship belt, along with his passport, was stolen earlier today in Chicago following a smash and grab of a rental car.

The rental car reportedly belonged to Timothy Thatcher, who also had property stolen in the burglary. 

Independent wrestlers from the area told various people that there has been a series of incidents similar to this recently in the Logan Square area, where both Timothy Thatcher and WALTER are competing tonight for EVOLVE.

There was an incident earlier this year where the AEW World title had disappeared from a limo Chris Jericho had rented just days after winning the championship at All Out. It was eventually recovered less than a week later by Tallahassee police.

Thatcher will face Arturo Ruas tonight at EVOLVE 142 while WALTER will face Josh Briggs in the main event in a non-title match.
