Billy Gunn's Such A Wuss Now That He Has To Have His WIFE.. Do The Talking For Him? WWOOWW.
Billy Gunn Allegedly sent a cease and desist order to OVW Wrestler Tommy Gunn telling him he can no longer use the name 'Gunn".. My story on that is here.. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2020/07/only-wuss-would-do-this-as-billy-gunn.html
But now it appears that Billy is such a wuss and a wimp that he has no balls to talk for himself, he has to have his wife, do the talking for him. What's the matter BillyBoy, the wife won't allow you to speak for yourself? She has you that trained like a dog? "Sit Billyboy, don't speak until I say you can Billyboy". LMAO!
I guess she's the one, who has more balls, than he does, LOL!
Former OVW wrestler Ted McNaler was recently on The Monday Locker Room show with Bin Hamin. During the episode, McNaler claimed that OVW wrestler Tony Gunn received a cease and desist letter from AEW producer Billy Gunn over the term "The Gunn Show". Tony Gunn is his real name, and he has been using the term "Gunn Show" for the past several years.
Tony Gunn issued the video response above at the 2:33 mark regarding not being able to use the term. It should be noted that Gunn never said that he received a cease and desist, but rather was told that he can't use "The Gunn Show."
"I was recently told that 'Tony Gunn, you can no longer use the gimmick 'The Gunn Show'', that's it's been trademarked by someone on a bigger stage, a bigger platform," Gunn said. "And that means that what I've been building over these past three or four years, building my brand, building who I am, is gone. Down to the music that I've had made, I cannot use. Down to my wrestling gear, my catchphrases that I say on the mic, what I'm referred to in the wrestling business 'The Gunn Show'. To my merchandise that I have I cannot sell anymore. I can't do any of it. I've been stripped away of it all. And I've never felt this way before. I've never had my wrestling identity stolen from me. I never thought that could happen to me.
"It hurts. It hurts a lot. And I'm pissed off. Really pissed off. I've been wrestling for 15 years and I've had a lot of gimmicks, a lot of characters along the way and I finally found something that works for me, something that translated to the people and on TV and now I've had it ripped out from under my feet. It's bulls--t. At the end of the day, it's truly my fault. As an independent wrestler, you're supposed to protect your business, you're supposed to protect your brand. My brand was 'The Gunn Show' and now I lost that brand because of me."
Billy Gunn's wife, Paula Sopp, denied that Billy had sent Tony a cease and desist letter. Paula issued a statement to WrestleZone stating that while they never sent a cease and desist, they did send a text message to let OVW know that they had trademarked the term.
"We reached via text message to OVW, to let them know that we aren't trying to be a$$holes but we trademarked 'Gunn Show' and please let Tony know he can't use it," Paula stated. "He's upset that he can't use it anymore, which is understandable. We have been going thru leaps and bounds to trademark The Gunn name and everything related to it, including Gunn Show. We've hired an attorney last year for our trademarks. We've spent thousands of dollars for our trademarks."
"Billy has worked over 25 years using the Gunn name, professionally and on the Indy scene. Tony should have reached out to us and talked to us as a PROFESSIONAL, and we could have worked something out. Instead, he went to podcasts, social media and wrestling dirt sheets. As a professional, whether it's owning a business or a wrestling name, you have to protect yourself and your identity. If you've been around longer than 5 years in the wrestling business, you should know this!
"If Tony doesn't want an ACTUAL letter from our attorney, he will cease and desist the defamation of Billy! We wish Tony all the best with his wrestling career!"

Why'd It Take Matt Riddle THIS LONG To Finally Say Something About The Sexual Allegations Against Him?
He finally, after weeks of the allegations being out there, he FINALLY decided to get off his ass and post a video about it.
Unfortunately, or maybe.. He should've had someone help him with to say and what NOT, to say. Because after watching this video, he comes off looking worse. In the video he states that Candy got his new number and kept harassing him. I say, let's see the proof of that. If you can claim it, you can prove it. But I bet, when he's called out to do that? The excuses will start flying. Or he might say something like the WWE 'won't let him'..
Here it all is for you below concerning this story.
WWE Smackdown star Matt Riddle posted a video on his social media, responding to allegations of sexual abuse brought against him by independent wrestler Candy Cartright. Cartwright claims that in May 2018, Riddle allegedly attempted to force her to sleep with him, choking her, which lead to her performing oral sex instead. She alleges this took place in a van with several others sleeping in the van at the time.
In the video, Riddle admits that he and Cartwright had an affair and he's not proud of that but says it is true. Riddle also claimed that he has never sexually abused or assaulted anyone in his life and that he was depressed over having to lie to his wife and friends constantly about the affair with Cartwright, so he ended the relationship and cut her off on social media. He then alleged that Cartwright continued to try to reach out to him, forcing him to block her and change his phone number but she would continue to reach out via messaging apps and by getting his new numbers. Riddle alleged that Cartwright would not let the end of the relationship go and claims that she is now trying to ruin his career because of it.

ALBERTO DEL RIO LEGAL UPDATE
Questions have been asked about whether there's been any follow-up to former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio's May arrest in San Antonio, Texas for sexual assault, a second degree felony.
There has not been additional movement in the case as of this writing, as the charges have not yet been brought before a grand jury. Once that happens, if the Grand Jury rules there should be an official indictment, prosecution would commence and move towards a criminal trial. Del Rio remains free on $50,000 bond and we are told that he has hired several defense attorneys to represent him.
Del Rio, real name Jose Alberto Rodriguez Chucuan, 43, was arrested on 5/4 after the victim went to local authorities, stating that on Sunday 5/3 at 10 PM Chucuan allegedly became angry with her and physically assaulted her after accusing her of infidelity. When the victim would not admit to the infidelity, Chucuan allegedly slapped her "across the head" several times. The victim also alleged that Chucuan "forced her to wear a dress and dance for him" and that when she refused and he told her not to start crying because if she did, "he would take her son and drop him in the middle of the road somewhere."
The arrest affidavit stated that the woman alleged Chucuan had sexually assaulted her and that she had her injuries documented via photographs.
At the time, The FOX affiliate in San Antonio reported, "Police said Rodriguez Chucuan then tied the woman's hands with boxing straps, put a sock in her mouth and sexually assaulted her for several hours, using various objects. According to investigators, he also punched her in the back during the assault, causing visible injuries. The victim told detectives she does not remember much after he placed his hand around her throat."
TMZ later reported additional details that brought the accusations into a much more disturbing light, stating that the victim reported the attack started at around 10 PM on 5/3 and that it lasted over 16 hours, ending on 5/4 on 2:30 PM. The victim went to the police the same day with TMZ's report noting that the responding officer saw bruises on her face, arms, legs and neck. The victim alleged that Chucuan attempted to burn her passport and smashed her laptop computer and cell phone. TMZ reported that the victim, "..also claims Del Rio attacked her, causing multiple injuries and left her, 'feeling woozy and dizzy from the hits to her head.' " The victim told police she was afraid and intended to leave San Antonio as soon as possible.
If Chucuan is found guilty, the minimum prison sentence for sexual assault under Texas law would be 2 years. As a second degree felony under Texas law, sexual assault can also lead to a fine of up to $10,000, in addition to incarceration. .
Chucuan is best known publicly as former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio in WWE, formerly Dos Caras in Mexico and who has wrestled as Alberto el Patron in Impact Wrestling and fought under that name last year for MMA group Combate Americas, where he also holds a figurehead executive position. A representative for MMA promotion Combate Americas declined to give a statement at the time of Chucuan's arrest.
