WWE Hall Of Famer Calls Vince McMahon “An A**Hole” For WWE Storyline
In 1996, Jake “The Snake” Roberts was involved in a controversial storyline with fellow WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler which saw “The King” going to great lengths to ridicule Roberts’ issues with alcoholism.
There was also the post-match segment where Lawler force-fed Roberts with a bottle of bourbon at Summerslam 1996. In a recent interview with Gary Cassidy of Inside The Ropes, Roberts felt Vince McMahon and Lawler were a bunch of “a**holes” for exploiting his personal demons for a wrestling storyline.
“Well, I thought it was a horrible thing for McMahon to ask me to do,” said Roberts. “It was cheap, it was disrespectful, it didn’t prove a damn thing other than the fact that Vince McMahon’s an a**hole, so there you go. Lawler, he’s in the the same boat. Both a**holes.”
Fortunately, Roberts did win his battle with addiction as detailed in the 2015 documentary, Resurrection of Jake The Snake. Roberts, 65, said he plans to be around for a long time to watch his grandkids grow older.
“You know, I’ve got some issues that I have to watch, but it’s getting better all the time because I did quit smoking. That’s really hard to do. I will be around for a long time, I have grandkids I want to hang out with now. I want to make somebody else miserable [laughs], so have fun. Yeah, I’m doing much better.”
NWA HOLDING MARCH TAPINGS, NEWS ON VIDEO CONTENT COMING THIS WEEK
Dave Meltzer reported on Saturday's Wrestling Observer Radio that the NWA will hold a set of TV tapings from March 21-24 as they resume original content.
Meltzer also said "a positive announcement" that doesn't have anything to do with AEW is coming this week in regard to all of their content being pulled off of YouTube. He didn't say where the tapings are taking place or if fans will be allowed, but Atlanta, GA, has been their home since relaunching in October 2019.
Their last set of tapings was held in late-January 2020 and helped carry the company for weekly YouTube episodes from late-January through March. The last original Power episode was a one-off that aired in mid-May.
A lot has changed for Billy Corgan's company since then. They struck up a deal with both AEW and UWN to have their champions appear and defend their titles, most notably the Women's title currently held by AEW roster member Serena Deeb. Former champion Thunder Rosa has been a fixture in AEW since late-August.
Unless they have worked out an affiliation agreement with another group, the roster will look different than their last set of tapings which featured Rosa, Eli Drake, Eddie Kingston, Caleb Konley, James Storm, Tasha Steelz, and the late Joseph "Jocephus" Hudson who passed away last week.
As previously reported, the NWA recently removed all of their videos from their YouTube channel, the videos were removed because of a new distribution deal that should be announced soon. NWA content will be available through their new partner. I was not told specifically who the new partner is, but I was able to confirm that it is not WWE or AEW.
This deal will add some new revenue for the company, which is more than they were making from the ads on their YouTube channel.

EC3 Comments On Signing With Ring Of Honor
Earlier this week it was announced EC3 had signed with Ring of Honor. After his exit from WWE last year due to COVID-19 budget cuts, EC3 showed up in Impact Wrestling through late October. He then appeared in ROH to wrestle Jay Briscoe at Final Battle in December, but the match had to be pulled due to EC3 testing positive for COVID-19.
Yesterday, EC3 reacted to his signing through a series of tweets:
NWA Removes All Videos From YouTube Channel (Not A Good Sign)
At some point in the last day, NWA removed all of its videos from its YouTube channel. No word yet on why the promotion decided to take down all of its content, including previous episodes of NWA Powerrr.
The “About” section still has links to NWA’s various social media accounts and website.
Most recently running episodes of Shockwave in December, NWA had to break for portions of 2020 due to the pandemic.
Last July, NWA President Billy Corgan shot down rumors of the promotion shutting down. In October, Corgan also said Powerrr would be back “very soon.”
Looks like, that may well have been, a lie.

FORMER ROH STAR FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST RING OF HONOR, PARENT COMPANY
Former ROH Women of Honor Champion Kelly Klein filed a lawsuit against Ring of Honor and its parent company, Sinclair Broadcast Group earlier this week. Klein is seeking $75,000, alleging, among other things, that the company ended their contractual relationship with her at the end of 2018 due to “her complaints regarding the disparate pay for [Women of Honor] female wrestlers, the lack of safety and medical protocols after Plaintiff suffered the concussion in October of 2019, and the sexual harassment at ROH.”
Klein’s lawsuit alleges discrimination and harassment, unpaid royalties for Best of DVDs and merchandise featuring Klein, discrimination and harassment, an unsafe working environment, violation of State and Federation equal pay acts, abusive discharge, breach of implied contract and more.
The lawsuit specifically lists several instances where Klein was hurt during matches and reported the issues to the agent of her match but that medical personnel weren’t available to her dating back to an incident in September 2016 where she stated she hit her head and neck on a guard raid, sought treatment at her own expense and was never reimbursed for medical expenses. She stated a similar situation took place when she suffered a concussion in April 2018 in New Orleans and when she broke her tooth during a New York City match in June 2018 (the lawsuit notes in that instance, Klein was reimbursed for her dental bills at her request, but that the company never followed up with her on their own) and was left concussed and on a locker room floor rambling for an hour after being hurt during an October 2019 bout in Wales until wrestler Mandy Leon retrieved help for her.
In the lawsuit, Klein stated she spoke with several within the company about issues, including “unsafe” performers who were booked and the lack of a concussion protocol for talents. Despite being told that there was a protocol, nothing had been made available to wrestlers, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit also alleged that in 2017, ROH talent Jay Lethal “leered at” Klein while she was in a hotel’s hot tub, asking her whether she was staying alone in the hotel and whether her boyfriend was also staying with her, actions that Klein stated made her feel uncomfortable. Klein stated that she reported the issue but later found out during another investigation with SBG human resources that her issues were never brought up to human resources and that no investigation ever transpired.
Klein is also alleging, “Sinclair and ROH discriminated against Klein on the basis of her sex by paying her compensation that was less than were paid to male wrestlers despite the fact that the performance by male and female wrestler requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and are performed under similar working conditions. The disparity in the rate of pay violated federal and state statutes prohibiting discrimination in pay rates based upon sex.”
The lawsuit states that at one point, Klein was contracted to the company for $20,000 a year and when she asked if that amount could be raised to $24,000, she was told that she could not receive that raise because all of the women were paid the same amount. Meanwhile, a male ROH talent was earning $189,000.
Klein had previously gone public with her issues during her time with Ring of Honor in a piece published by Newsweek. In November 2019, ROH stated they did not fire Klein but "notified her that we would not be renewing her contract."

HAVE SEX WITH AN UNDERAGE GIRL, GET A JOB IN JAPAN AS A REWARD - MARTY SCURLL PART OF RECENT NEW JAPAN STRONG TAPINGS
On Wednesday's Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer confirmed that Marty Scurll worked at the recent New Japan Strong tapings in California.
He didn't verify the story that Scurrl was involved in an post-match angle with Rocky Romero as was reported by Fanbyte's Emily Pratt. Due to non-disclosure agreements, information has been hard to verify. Fightful first reported his involvement with Pratt reporting he was at the January 22nd day of taping. It's unknown how many shows he will appear on as part of the tapings and when they will air.
"The source said that while everyone working on NJPW Strong signs an NDA about the content of the tapings, there was no extra secrecy about Scurll’s involvement: “They weren’t trying to hide him.” The source says they were surprised by Scurll’s involvement, saying “I thought we were going to be the company that wasn’t booking these guys to get some buzz. They’re going to get buzz alright, but probably not the kind they’re looking for. And it just reeks of letting things slide because these people are all friends or whatever.” They added that “I really just think fans should know his involvement beforehand, so they can choose to tune in or not.”
Scurrl has worked for New Japan extensively in the past, last competing in the 2019 Best of the Super Juniors tournament. A presence in Ring of Honor since 2016, he re-upped with the company in January 2020 in a wrestling/booking role.
During last summer's #SpeakingOut movement, he was accused of a 2015 sexual assault by a woman who was 16 at the time. He admitted to the encounter but said it was consensual, and legal due to the age of consent in the UK. He later released a second statement that was more contrite, saying that while he didn't "become aware of her age until after the encounter, the reality of the age disparity is not lost on me."
In June 2020, ROH announced an investigation into accusations made against their contracted talent. While never making the findings of those investigations public, several wrestlers were quietly removed from their roster page including Scurll. In January, they announced a mutual parting of the ways.
The 32-year-old's last match was in February 2020 at Gateway to Honor in a six-man tag.
Radio personality Craig Carton Gets Punked By Paul Heyman
Radio personality Craig Carton posted a clip from his radio show claiming that in the 90's, he was offered a job by a "group in Philly" to be an announcer that would be named Joey Styles, but he turned it down.
Paul Heyman responded with this tweet, putting Carton in his place.
EC3 SIGNS WITH ROH
EC3 SIGNS WITH ROH
Ring of Honor is pleased to announce that EC3 has signed with the company.
EC3, who had been pro wrestling’s hottest free agent since he hit the open market last summer, made a few appearances with ROH in the fall. He made his unannounced return on last weekend’s episode of “Ring of Honor Wrestling” to confront Jay Briscoe.
EC3 and Briscoe had been scheduled to face each other at Final Battle in December, but the match was called off after EC3 tested positive for COVID-19.
Recognized as a two-time former world champion, EC3 boasts one of the most chiseled physiques in the sport and stellar speaking skills.
EC3 seized control of his narrative during his time as a free agent. A darker, more intense and more dangerous EC3 showed up in ROH declaring that he was on a quest to see if honor is real.
Now that EC3 is making ROH his home, he’ll have ample time to find out.
NWA STAR JOSEPH HUDSON AKA JOCEPHUS & THE QUESTION MARK PASSES AWAY
Joseph Hudson, best known to professional wrestling fans as Josephus in the Billy Corgan era of The National Wrestling Alliance, passed away yesterday following a medical episode. Dutch Mantel tweeted that it was believed Hudson passed after either a stroke or an aneurysm.
NWA President Billy Corgan paid tribute to Hudson tonight, writing the following on his Instagram account - “It’s with a heavy heart that I share that my friend and brother in wrestling, Joseph Hudson, has passed away suddenly from an as-yet undiagnosed medical issue. NWA fans would know him as Jocephus as well as The Question Mark; where thanks to the great fans at GPB Studios in Atlanta, Joseph was able to receive the kind of support in the ring he’d always dreamt of. He is survived by a young son whom he loved dearly, and if anything would pain him about leaving this Earth it would be not being able to be there for his boy. RIP Joseph, love to you and Godspeed”
Hudson initially debuted in 2009 as Jocephus Brody, obviously a tribute to the late Bruiser Brody, and worked a number of the independent promotions that ran his hometown of Nashville, TN on a regular basis, including the USWO, SAW and beyond working with legends like Mantel, Tony Falk and Wolfie D.
In 2011, he held the USWO title for a time, defeating Raven for the championship. During the same time period, he began working for Resistance Pro in Chicago, where he likely first crossed paths with Corgan.
In 2016, Hudson worked a number of events promoted by Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling promotion, working with Jarrett, Crimson and others, even appearing against Chris Sabin on a 2016 One Night Only Victory Road PPV.
After Corgan acquired the National Wrestling Alliance, Hudson dropped the Brody surname and was a regular for the promotion as Jocephus, an evil cult leader who initially feuded with then-NWA Champion Tim Storm. That feud that spilled over into Championship Wrestling from Hollywood and culminated with an empty arena match taped at Universal Studios Orlando before an Impact TV Taping.
Jocephus later had a short NWA storyline with David Arquette culminating in Joseph having his head shaved in Nashville, clips of which popped up in the You Cannot Kill David Arquette documentary.
Behind the scenes of the promotion, Joseph assisted in editing of video segments that aired on NWA Power episodes, the weekly YouTube series designed to showcase the old territory era studio wrestling show for a 21st century audience with a hint of levity with some of the undercard characters and commercial vignettes. The intimate nature of the tapings in Atlanta were infectious to watch with Josephus appearing initially under his usual wrestling name before disappearing and being replaced by the masked Question Mark.
For whatever reason, the character became a cult hit on the series thanks to the audience reaction and was quickly married to Aron Stevens, who was playing an obnoxious Hollywood star who had mastered the rare (fictional) martial art of Mongrovian Karate under his mysterious masked senses The Question Mark.
The pair had some fun comedy timing and were pretty entertaining on the series as a team. For Joseph, it became the first time that he was part of an act that clicked and truly became part of the DNA of a promotional consistently beyond a local level. He and Stevens had a short feud with Trevor Murdoch that helped build the NWA TV Title tournament and had the COVID pandemic not forced the NWA to pause, certainly the duo would have been an important part of the roster for a planned house show tour in major markets.
It is believed Joseph’s final match was the January 2020 NWA taping in Atlanta, where he and Stevens teamed in a loss to The Rock N’ Roll Express. To the best of my knowledge, he had not wrestled since the COVID-19 pandemic had taken hold.
Joseph also portrayed Bruiser Brody on the debut episode of ViceTV's Dark Side of the Ring, taking part in reenactments of Brody’s life.

THE TNA TITLE LIVES AGAIN...OFFICIALLY
Impact Wrestling brought the TNA title back a year as part of a promotional effort that was to lead to a TNA Reunion PPV during Wrestlemania weekend, an event that ended up canceled when the COVID-19 pandemic began to take hold. Since that time Moose carried the championship, having declared himself the TNA Champion.
Within the confines of Impact Wrestling storylines, the idea was that Moose was unofficially the TNA Champion and that the belt wasn't recognized...until tonight.
During tonight's Impact on AXS episode, Impact ran an angle where Moose charged the ring and immediately speared Jake Something, who had just won a Tables Match over Deaner, through one of the tables in the corner that weren't utilized Moose then took the mic and apologized to AXS TV, telling him that there won't be a show tonight until he gets the Impact title shot he was promised by Rich Swann.
Impact official Scott D'Amore came out and stated that Swann wasn't cleared and isn't even in the building tonight. Jake Something returned and tried to get past officials to get to Moose. Moose told hm he better be careful or he was going to end up with a lot worse than he got. Scott said he can have a title shot. As of now, the TNA title is an official title in Impact Wrestling and he's going to defend it in the main event against Jake Something.
So, as of tonight, the TNA World Title lives again.
The original plan for the TNA resurgence last year was to eventually spin TNA off as it's own promotion with a separate series on AXS TV, so it will be interesting to see if that plan is still in play a year later.
BIG SHOW JUMPS TO AEW
All Elite Wrestling just announced that Paul Wight formerly known as Big Show in WWE has signed with the company.
-- Wight Joins Commentary for New YouTube Extension, AEW Dark: Elevation --
February 24, 2021 – As 2021 shapes up to be the year for AEW’s biggest shows yet, today the promotion announced that wrestling legend Paul Wight signed a long-term deal, adding yet another universally regarded name to AEW’s roster of stars, legends, and upcoming talent. Wight will have an extensive role within AEW, and on top of his return to the ring, he will serve as a commentator on AEW’s newest show, AEW Dark: Elevation.
Complementing AEW Dark on Tuesdays, AEW Dark: Elevation will air on Mondays at 7 p.m. ET on AEW’s YouTube channel, and will showcase AEW’s established and rising stars, as well as the top independent wrestlers within the industry, competing against each other in the ring in pursuit of wins. AEW Dark: Elevation will also maintain continuity with AEW DYNAMITE, AEW Dark, AEW pay-per-view shows and streaming events, with wins and losses factoring into each wrestler’s ranking in the company.
With new wrestling programming now available three nights per week, AEW continues to solidify its position as the fastest growing and hottest promotion in professional wrestling.
“It’s been amazing to watch what AEW has built in just a couple of years,” said Paul Wight. “AEW Dark is an incredible platform to hone the skills of up-and-coming wrestlers, but I also love that established AEW talent can build out their personalities and showcase themselves in new ways on Dark.

“Paul Wight is one of the most recognizable and impressive professional athletes in the world,” said Tony Khan, CEO, GM and Head of Creative of AEW. “He wanted to come to AEW because he believes that we’re the best promotion in wrestling, and we believe that he has a lot to offer us, both in the ring as a wrestler, and also outside the ring as a commentator, host and ambassador for AEW.”

"He can benefit and guide our young talent with his mentorship, and his expert commentary on AEW Dark: Elevation will educate and entertain our fans, and also educate the younger wrestlers on the roster. Furthermore, Paul enters AEW as a licensed wrestler, and he’s very much looking forward to studying our talent firsthand from the commentary desk in preparation for his return to the ring!

Nick Aldis Recalls Hearing Some AEW Stars Had An ‘Attitude About Them’
In early December AEW and Impact announced a partnership that features cross promotion between both companies. Impact stars such as The Good Brothers have appeared on Dynamite while AEW stars such as Kenny Omega have appeared on Impact programming.
Sammy Guevara was one of those AEW talents who was set to appear on Impact recently but did not due to creative issues in terms of what types of matches he would be used in. That’s one of the unseen fallouts of two companies working together, as what happens when a talent at one promotion doesn’t want to abide by the creative of the other promotion?
Nick Aldis had a lengthy run in TNA/Impact and is still close with lots of the people involved with the promotion. He discussed what he heard from them regarding the attitudes of some of the AEW guys who were in Nashville when Impact was taping.
“I have friends in virtually every major company in the business and we live not far from Nashville. So, often when the guys come to tape Impact, some of them come to the house and we go hang out or whatever. So, I’ve got a few very good buddies who work there and the word was that some of the AEW guys who had been showing up there had a little bit of an attitude about them,” revealed Aldis on the Keepin’ It 100 podcast.
“That was the overall word… It’s interesting because it correlates. I’m only bringing that up because it kinda tracks what I’m hearing about this thing – perhaps a little too big for their britches.”
Aldis mentioned that Guevara did work NWA’s 70th Anniversary Show before co-host Disco Inferno then said Guevara is risking a spot with one of the two major North American pro wrestling promotions with his attitude.
“Take it from a guy who got signed very young, didn’t know what he was doing, was able to move up the ladder both monetarily and with his spot on the card. And I made a lot of mistakes and enemies too and I’m still paying for it now. But it wasn’t that I didn’t know any better,” said Aldis.
“The difference is you have to have the self-awareness to look back at it and go, ‘Oof! I can’t believe I thought that or said that.’ For the most part, I’ve owned it. I was a dumb kid who didn’t know what I was doing. I was green and I had an attitude and I thought I was indestructible.”
As for Disco Inferno’s comment about WWE and AEW being the only two companies to work for to earn a great living as a wrestler, Aldis disagreed.
“I get this a lot, ‘Why didn’t you go to AEW? Why didn’t you go to NXT?’ Because I have a good gig now and I’m making good money. You don’t walk away from the table when it’s paying out,” said Aldis.

Yet ANOTHER EXAMPLE Of How Easy it Is To Smack A "Mark" (They ALWAYS, Do The same, Predictable Shit, LOL)
When are the 'marks' ever gonna learn? That guys like me it's best to avoid because I'll simply, without very much effort, easily run rings around them every time?
"Marks" today simply, have no real arguing skills. And as predictable as a rerun, they ALWAYS react, the same way, every time. When i say something like "Now go ahead and reply and show how stupid you still are", that's the invitation for them to go ahead and shut the fuck up.
Unfortunately, "Marks" prove time and again, they're just too stupid, to shut the fuck up. Latest example is here, from.. If you look at the guy's pics on FB, he's your blueprint AEW "Mark", all the way.
Why is it the AEW "Marks" are the easiest to make look like dumb fucks?
Anyways, here' the latest 'mark" getting a slap, on an AEW FB group, no less.
I love how he tries to say I'm the bigger dumb ass, when it was HIS dumb ass, that started this by replying to my post.
The fact there are people really this stupid, walking the planet, is amazing, what's even more amazing is, there's so many of them purposely or insisting, on being this stupid.
But, that's your wrestling "mark" of today. Easily slapped down without any effort because they can't even make it a challenge, or even try and bring a credible argument to the table. Just the same ol, same ol, tried and true dumb replies and actions because they're incapable of doing anything else.
Someday, some-day, "marks" will actually become a challenge.. It just won't be today. :)

Teddy Hart Arrested Again In Texas
Pro wrestling veteran Teddy Hart (Edward Ellsworth Annis) is currently incarcerated in Fort Worth, Texas at the Tarrant County Corrections Center.
Records from Tarrant County shows that Hart was arrested on Wednesday, February 10.
The Arlington, Texas Police Department picked him up on one charge of Evading Arrest/Detention with a Vehicle, and one charge of Injury to a Child, Elderly Individual, or Disabled Individual. Records also show that the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office arrested Hart that same day on one charge of Possession of a Penalty Group 1 Controlled Substance, which usually covers cocaine, or heroin, or methamphetamine, or prescription narcotics. The records do not state which substance Hart was charged for.
Hart was jailed in Fort Worth last October on the same charges, which were related to a previous arrest in 2016. It looks like the Evading Arrest charge and the Injury to a Child, Elderly Individual, or Disabled Individual charge are from that previous arrest, which he initially did time for. It’s possible that the charges he is currently in jail for are due to a parole or probation violation.
Hart, who has had numerous legal issues in the past few years, is currently being held under no bond. Hart has no scheduled court dates in Tarrant County as of this writing.
Nothing Screams "Clueless Money Mark" More Than This
Yep, You guessed it. Tony Khan, owner and money mark of AEW. I mean look at that face, does that face scream 'brilliant wrestling mind' anywhere? Anywhere?
The answer is pretty obvious if you've seen recent shows of AEW Dynamite.. The answer is, no.
I mean seriously, the man has the final word on all, ahem.. "booking;' of AEW shows and even books things himself and in the end.. No matter what the AEW 'Marks' and fanboys claim, AEW is the drizzling shits at best.
He, as well as Cody, Omega and the Young Bucks shouldn't be booking a fucking thing, let alone a wrestling show. It plainly and clearly shows that they don't have the basic fundamentals of what basic booking 101 is. Logic in story lines? Barely there, angles and Story lines that are in some way, believable? Nope, not in AEW. And let's not forget how Khan allows all the no selling, flip flop acrobatic high spots that have no substance because all these improperly trained 'wrestlers' they have on the roster believe in the mentality of they have to get a dozen spots in, in less than three minutes.
But you know, ol money mark Khan thinks this is 'brilliant stuff' (rolls eyes) when he clearly has no idea what brilliant, really is.
I hope Tony isn't getting any booking ideas from Don Callis, because Callis is on the same level as Khan, Omega, etc when it comes to shitty ass booking, and Impact Wrestling's product for over the last year has proven that to be a fact.
Why not getting actual ideas on what works and will get over by some people on your payroll who know, what works and would get over.. Like Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Jake Roberts, Dean Malenko? Oh wait, that would be way too logical and would make sense. God forbid you'd want THAT in AEW, eh?
But he sure likes to talk shit and make claims.. SSOO, since he recently on the Wrestling Fetish podcast claimed he knows what he's doing.. Let's call him out on that, shall we (and watch how he'll avoid answering, they always do when I call em out.. That's just the way the world is).
On that podcast, he said this..
“If I recall, the biggest money angle you [Konnan/AAA] had that entire year, I booked,” said Khan. “I put that entire Lucha Brothers / Young Bucks program together, and set the whole outline to you, which I still have on my phone".
Okay Tony boy.. PROV E IT! I call bullshit, you didn't lay shit out and if you say you did, PROVE IT! You 'still have it on your phone' so post it, let's see 'HOW' you allegedly 'set the whole outline out'. Put up or shut up Tonyboy and I bet all the silence that comes after you see this, will be the proof I'm right, that you're lying and full of shit.
No what happens when you have a clueless money mark thinking he can book a major wrestling federation? You end up with a shit show like AEW Dynamite and have the money mark owner making claims that, now that I called him out on, will now, most likely do what's smart and just shut the fuck up. Knowing Tonyboy doesn't like to be challenged, he most likely will do what others have done when I called them out, and that's shut the fuck up.. he knows it's in his best interests to do just that cause everyone knows now that I called him out, he'll just avoid or try and sidestep it, bitching up like everyone else does, that's just what happens and it happens, every time. Not my fault that's just the way, the world is. :)
SAMMY GUEVARA REPORTEDLY IN HOT WATER WITH AEW AFTER NIXING IMPACT STORYLINE
According to a source with knowledge of the situation, AEW star Sammy Guevara has landed in hot water with AEW over an Impact angle. AEW owner Tony Khan is not pleased with Guevara after he voiced complaints about a planned storyline which would have brought Guevara into the ongoing inter-promotional angle with Impact Wrestling.
The source reports to Slam Wrestling that after this Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, which saw Guevara quit the Inner Circle faction, Chris Jericho floated the idea of Guevara appearing on Impact. He pitched the idea to Khan who contacted Impact about writing Guevara into an angle at the last minute. Impact’s first take on things was rejected but a second idea was given the greenlight by Khan.
Plans were made to shoot the angle the next day but Impact received a message directly from Guevara complaining about the creative direction. Impact in turn contacted Khan and Jericho with this news. Jericho reached out to Impact Executive Vice-President Don Callis about banning Guevara from Impact’s premises.
By the time Guevara arrived in Nashville he received a message from Jericho advising him to return home and not to head to Impact’s shooting location.
After all is said and done and the smoke has cleared, AEW management is apparently concerned that Guevara’s actions may have possibly hurt their relationship with Impact Wrestling.

Another Horrible Segment On Impact As Juice Robinson & David Finlay DEBUT, Confronted by Good Brothers! | IMPACT! Highlights Feb 16, 2021
Who the fuck, wrote the promo for The Good Brothers? Whoever wrote it for them needs to stop writing promos for people. And if it was The Good brothers who came up with this shit on their own? Then maybe they need to have someone write promos for them, because their promo sucked ass, big time.
For some reason 'marks' are really high on this team. I don't see it, I can't see why. They do pretty much the same moves every other tag team does and they do nothing that really stands out, except make shitty promos like the on here.
Maybe that's what makes them stand out, their shit promos.
This whole "Being confronted' had 'cure for insomnia' written all over it, it was that bad.
Thank God I only watch the highlights on YouTube, because there's no way I could suffer thru an entire show full of shit like this. But this.. is what Impact thinks is 'great programming' (rolls eyes) .
Here's the link if you really want to see this utter crap.

This, Was F'N Horrible As...Moose DESTROYS Tommy Dreamer in Hardcore War! | IMPACT! Highlights Feb 16, 2021
This, was so fucking horrible to watch which shows you just how bad Impact's wrestling product really is.
First off, how can you have a hardcore match and no blood? And why does Dreamer even have his fists taped if there's gonna be no blood in the match? It totally defeats the purpose of having the fists taped up. I can lost many taped fist matches that e very time, had blood spilling in it. Dreamer having his taped and Moose isn't bleeding shows a HUGE, lack of logic when this match was laid out.
And Dreamer delivered the absolute worst cutter known to man kind. It looked like he was literally in slow motion when he hit it. I understand about him 'losing a step' because he's gotten older, heavier, hurt, etc. But this was a real pathetic outing and if this was supposed to be a 'hardcore' match? It's one of the most lamest 'Hardcore" matches I've ever seen.
And oh yeah, by the way.. Wasn't "No Surrender' supposed to be Dreamer's retirement match? Oh yeah, that's right. I almost forgot, nobody sticks to stipulations anymore.. Just throw em out there, willy nilly and don't expect anyone to actually think you'll stick to them.
If I was watching the whole show and saw this? This would be one of the things that'd have me grab the remote and change the channel. It was that bad.
But for the three people who actually want to suffer thru this, here's the link.

ELI DRAKE ARRIVES IN WWE NXT, And WWE Has Already Screwed Him By Giving Him A Dumb Ass New Ring Name
Figures that WWE just can't leeqave well enough alone and let a name, be THAT name and draw. NNAAA, why do something so logical and makes sense? Oh, I know why, because logic and common sense doesn't make senbse in the WWE Universe.
The former Eli Drake arrived in WWE on tonight's NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day pre-show.
During the pre-show, Drake interrupted panelists Wade Barrett, Sam Roberts, and Barstool Sports' Brandon Walker. Drake cut a promo about joining NXT and announced that his new in-ring name is LA Knight.
Drake insulted the panelists and said that he was injecting a little bit of star power into the pre-show. Drake announced his new name and said NXT might have a stacked deck, but while they're playing cards -- he just walked in rolling dice. Drake said he just changed the game. He mentioned the NXT North American Championship and the NXT Championship and said anyone walking around with those titles should make sure they have their eyes open because he's coming for them.
Drake ended his promo by declaring that this is now LA Knight's game.
Prior to signing with WWE, the 38-year-old Drake was most recently with the NWA. He held the NWA Tag Team titles with James Storm from January of last year to November.
Drake is also a former Impact Wrestling World Champion.
Drake, whose real name is Shaun Ricker, was part of WWE developmental from 2013-2014. He used the name Slate Randall during his first stint with the company.
