Manager James Mitchell Coming To The NWA?
The NWA taped matches for upcoming episodes of Powerrr at the Chase Park Plaza Hotel in St. Louis.
One of the interesting match ups that will be shown besides the interesting matchups they taped is the debut of Manager James Mitchell, who is both very under rated and was underutilized in Impact in recent weeks.
Mitchell debuted with Judais, who defeated Jeremia Plunkett at these recent tapings.
Having Mitchell back in wrestling will bring a nice breath of fresh air as he 'knows' what being a manager is all about.
Nice coup for Billy Corgan's NWA to get Mitchell.
PWInsider Posts A Link To A Video That's "Unavailable", LMAO!
Two people were kind enough to send me this.
Mike Johnson at PWInsider obviously, like Dave Meltzer at the Observer doesn't check links to see if they actually work before he posts them.
Here's a prime example of that, Something he did not more than TEN MINUTES AGO, AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
"Top Notch" Mikeypoo, "Five star, all the way" (sarcastic 'thumbs up')
Thankfully we here at WP&P. actually CHECK things before we post them.
Maybe guys like Johnson and Meltzer should do the same. Hell of a concept. :)

Trevor Murdoch On Winning The NWA World Championship
Less than a day after defeating Nick Aldis at NWA’s 73 Anniversary show, new NWA World Heavyweight Champion Trevor Murdoch joined Busted Open Radio to talk about his victory. Needless to say he was in a good mood.
“I am excited, I am tired, I am beat up. But I am happy,” Murdoch said. “I don’t know any other way to put it. I am extremely happy. Dreams don’t come true for most people and last night, that was a dream come true. Could not have gotten any better except if Harley (Race) was there with me.”
Murdoch talked about many things regarding the night, including Ric Flair coming out to congratulate him, celebrating with his family and sleeping with the NWA Title on his desk. It all has Murdoch at a loss for words, especially since the match could’ve easily gone the other way and led to Murdoch’s retirement (the match was Title vs. Career).
“Well first, I didn’t even expect for Ric to come out like that,” Murdoch said. “I was already doing my best to try and not cry, to be absolutely honest with you. And then when I saw Ric there, I was fighting back tears. One of the things I remember is I was emotional, and Ric said ‘you are the champion.’ I popped my head up and that kind of woke me up a little bit out of what was going on in the haze, that I finally did this. And I’m standing in front of the greatest NWA World Champion in the Chase, and I just couldn’t believe it. There have been some pieces, I actually have to go back and watch it, because it was all just a whirlwind of emotions. I’m usually not at a loss for words, because to be honest with you, part of me was expecting to have this conversation about that being my last match.”
The weekend appears to have been a successful one for the NWA, between the Anniversary show and the well received all women’s show EmPowerrr the night before. Murdoch revealed he was so focused on his own match that he missed most of the Anniversary show, though he revealed he would be catching it this week.
“I caught the very first match and those guys went out and killed it and did some amazing things,” Murdoch said. “And after I watched that first match, I actually walked away from the monitor, because they did such a great job that I didn’t want that to make me more nervous. Everybody, the women’s EmPowerrr show and all the guys on 73, they all stepped up to a whole other level. Tonight I plan on sitting down and watching the whole show and giving everybody their due respect to watch the matches.
“To be honest with you, I couldn’t have any other wrestling in my head except what I had going, if that makes any sense. My brain was full, and I felt that if I watched somebody else’s stuff, it may affect what I had going on that evening. I’m usually not like that but this was the most important match of my life, it’s the biggest moment of my life. It’s going to be very difficult for me to go any higher than I am, because I’m the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. And to be honest with you, I don’t think it gets any better than that.”

Ace Romero Requests Release From Impact Wrestling (Impact Hasn't Made Much Of An "Impact" With Him Anyway)
Ace Romero has reportedly requested his release from Impact Wrestling
Romero had been teaming with Larry D as XXXL and were still under contract as of last month, with Romero on a paid-per-appearance deal, according to Fightful Select. However, Romero has requested his departure from the company.
Romero has not been used since the April set of Impact TV tapings, and nearly faced hospitalization due to COVID-19 in early May. He is said to be healthy right now and has wrestled for the Limtless Wrestling promotion (Based in Maine)in the last few weeks.
Romero first debuted with Impact in October 2019 at their All Glory special, defeating Larry D in the main event. He then signed a three-year deal that was offered by Executive Vice President Scott D’Amore.
Romero’s last Impact match came on the May 20 edition of Before The Impact as he and Larry D defeated Hernandez and Johnny Swinger.
Since Tommy Dreamer, Scotty D'Amore and others on the booking committee there haven't gone out of their way to have Ace make an "Impact" lately, its probably best to let Romero go and make an "Impact" somewhere else.

Brandi Rhodes Posts A Tweet, Then Quickly Tried To Delete It After She Got "Checked" (She Got "treated")
Brandi Rhodes attempted to make a stance of some sort about Black wrestlers but came off as quite clueless, and when she got "checked" and put in her place about it? She tried to quickly delete it.
BUT... She didn't delete it quickly enough.
Here's her now deleted tweet.
Yes Brandi, you HAVE been missing it.
Here's some of the replies that put Brandi in her place.
Needless to say, once she realized she was getting 'checked' she quickly tried to delete it. But didn't do it fast enough.
So since Brandi has CLEARLY been 'missing it' and pretty much has no knowledge about anything wrestling wise outside of AEW, let me go ahead and show her "where the love is" when it comes to black wrestlers in other companies.
Take note, I'm a white Irish/Polack and I seem to know more about Black wrestlers who have been featured well than her, and she's. black. Makes you go, HHHMMM.
I guess Brandi has no clue about the Reality Of Wrestling company based in Texas, owned by Booker T, a black wrestler.. Funny how HE has pushed many black wrestlers, male AND female well in his company.
Maybe someone should send Brandi some links from there to her so she can educate herself.
Then there's Darius Carter in Warriors of Wrestling He's been their champion and has been featured well in matches and angles.
I'll show you a few examples.
Here's a match between Carter and "The Pope" Elijah Burke.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd6WqyT0ypc&t=41s
Oh damn, what's this? A match between Darius and current WWE wrestler Killer Kross? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAXPngpemOI
Oh but wait, wait wait wwaaiittt.. There's THIS from Tier 1 Wrestling.. Darius vs.. MATT RIDDLE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRpWr2VFegU&t=224s
Yeah Brandi, "where's the love"? Obviously YOU, haven't been looking very hard if I can find it in less than three minutes.
I guess the names like Tasha Steele and Kiera Hogan don't come to mind either, eh? HELL, Kiera was on AEW's Elevation show a little over TWO WEEKS AGO!
Guess you were playing with your dog when that match happened?
I can keep going and going on this, listing example after example of how Brandi clearly has 'missed it'. It's way too easy.
Maybe Brandi should attempting to do a little something called "research".
"Research" can be a your friend Brandi, if you open your eyes and mind and allow it to be.

Adam Bomb - Why His 2001 WWF Return Didn’t Work Out
While he’s most known for his WWF work as Adam Bomb, the real-life Bryan Clark worked under both his real name and the Mortal Kombat-esque character Wrath in his second WCW stint.
During his World Championship Wrestling years, Clark found himself mixing it up with the promotion’s top brass.
“I kind of knew everybody. Like with Sting and Luger, and Hall and Nash. Hogan, Flair, and Bischoff… easy going man,” Clark told Shining Wizards. “To me, my experience, it was fine because we had already worked that territory up at Vince’s place so we knew what a brutal hellacious schedule was like. And then to come to WCW and make five times the money at a lot easier pace, it was night and day. Goldberg is great. People don’t like him or whatever, but Bill has always been great to me and Brian [Adams] prior to KroniK and me even as Wrath. Just a great guy".
As Wrath, Clark found tremendous success. The former WCW Tag Team Champion enjoyed a lengthy undefeated streak and pioneered a variation of the pump-handle slam. Wrath was originally brought in to WCW as a Mortal Kombat-esque gimmick, but Clark emphasized he much preferred the later, dominant of the character.
“The no-joke Wrath [was better]. I mean, I went undefeated for six or seven months, or whatever it was,” Clark said. “And I had that meltdown finisher. I invented it. A million people have done the pump handle but no-one ever took them up and over all the way like I did, and then tuck the head and make it a slam. You’ll see people hook that move, but they never [hook it], and a lot of people aren’t strong enough to do it. I got Meng (Haku) in it, and he was 320.”
After a five-year stint in WCW, Clark would make his return to the World Wrestling Federation as one-half of KroniK, his WCW tag team with Brian Adams.
Despite big plans in place for the duo, Clark says he had big hesitations to jump to New York.
“It was just KroniK, and Brian [Adams] wanted to go a lot more than I did. I told Brian, and we talked about this. I thought we should go to Japan right away. He was friends with Taker so he thought maybe we should go back to Vince,” Clark said. “We both left there and we always had that unsettling heat. We just felt like, and I even felt like, and he did once we got there, that this was not a good idea.
KroniK was set for a major feud with the Brothers of Destruction, but the rivalry fizzled out before it had the chance to gain momentum. The Undertaker and Kane defeated Clark and Adams at Unforgiven 2001, and the pair were taken off TV shortly after.
Clarke blames this on all four men nursing injuries at the time, noting that it was too rushed.
“They did a hotshot of an angle, but Kane had a big staph infection and I think Taker had a shoulder injury. I had basically a broken neck and we were all just banged up,” Clark said. “They didn’t give us the time, and I said, ‘Hey, let’s go on the road for a little bit and get a feel for each other versus just hotshotting it.’ It fell apart. Then we went to All-Japan like I suggested from the beginning.”

Another Day? And Another Conrad Thompson F*ck Up Comes (You'd Think He'd REALLY Try To Fix These Things By Now)
This has become such a long running bad joke, that it'd be funny if it wasn't so sad. Sad that Conrad Thompson obviously doesn't give two shits HOW, his videos look or sound when they get uploaded, just as long as they're uploaded.
I mean I just covered this issue YESTERDAY with this story. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/08/conrads-continuing-saga-of-video-screw.html And yet not even a DAY, TWENTY FOUR, FFUUCCKKING HOURS go by and here we are again. Another fuck up of one of Conrad's video clips.
It's not like he hasn't been contacted about it. Here's proof I did it, and he STILL hasn't replied about it.
And look, someone else attempted to contact Conrad and HE, got no answer from Mr. "Save With Conrad' either.
I even went ahead and replied to someone who asked about it, right there in the comments section.
It wouldn't surprise me if my comment there "mysteriously" gets deleted. Cause God forbid the truth of this ongoing dumb shit is quite embarrassing, even if nobody has any balls to actually fix the problem.
Maybe one of you viewers who are reading this can ask Conrad about it, and see if he'll answer you and explain to you why he's avoiding correcting these problems. Because as long as they continue, it'll show that as 'professional' as he claims to be? These constant fuck ups and hiom seemingly not caring show, just how "unprofessional' he's become.
Maybe Conrad should reach into those deep pockets and actually PAY some one who knows what the fuck they're doing to upload these clips.
But I guess that, like actually fixing these ongoing issues would take some balls, and if Conrad won't even acknowledge these issues? What does that say, about him. makes you go, HHHMMMM.

Chelsea Green: “It’s really cool that I’m ‘fired’ at this time, so I’m able to do all this."
Opportunities for women are “endless” outside WWE, says Chelsea Green. That’s why she was determined to work with as many wrestling companies as possible — without being locked to any in particular — after exiting NXT.
“It’s really cool that I’m ‘fired’ at this time, so I’m able to do all this,” Green said during an exclusive interview for The Wrestling Inc. Daily.
Since departing WWE earlier this year, Green has worked with Ring of Honor, returned to Impact Wrestling and on Sat., Aug. 28, appears the NWA EMPOWERRR all-women’s pay-per-view. Though she expected push-back from each of those companies for refusing exclusivity, the star admits all three have been beyond accommodating.
“I thought I would have to fight for that, but I did not at all,” Green confirmed. “Ring of Honor, Impact and NWA were all so welcoming!”
After arriving unexpectedly in ROH, Green told audiences she was unable to wrestle — but did exactly that the next week at Impact’s Slammiversary. Now she main events EMPOWERRR, which brings together NWA, AEW, ROH, Impact and top indie talents in St. Louis.
“Hey, you kicked me to the curb,” she said of WWE, “But I have a million opportunities that I’m able to capitalize on, and we never had these opportunities before.”
The same goes for other recently-released WWE stars, Green says. Though they are “probably trying to surprise us,” she is certain familiar names will pop up sooner rather than later, going so far as to say Impact is ripe for it.
“There are so many people coming in and out of Impact, the opportunities are really endless there,” she stated. “We could see Ruby [Soho, AKA, Riott]. We could see The IIconics. We could see any of the females being released from WWE come through the Impact doors at any moment, and that’s pretty cool too.”
However, Green said, realistically “some of these girls have to end up at AEW.” Green says not only does it seem a no-brainer, it would be a definite win for the company.
“It would be a travesty if they didn’t; AEW can totally gain from those faces,” she stated. “We all love to watch them. We all know them. We know they’re great workers.”
While Green knows AEW is a likely destination for some, she holds out hope to see old friends in other places too.
“It would be insane if some of them didn’t end up there,” she concluded, “But I hope and I pray, we get them at NWA, Ring of Honor or Impact.”

NWA EmPowerrr executive producer Mickie James joined Busted Open Radio to promote the all women’s wrestling show, taking place tonight as part of NWA’s weekend at The Chase Park Plaza in St. Louis. James got emotional talking about putting together the show and how cool it was to take the reigns of something she’s long been fighting for.
“I’m really passionate about it,” James said. “And I think, through all the things, a lot of things can be taken out of context. Because people have never been in my shoes, they don’t know what it’s like. Your life really depends on what someone else’s opinion of you is, you know what I mean? So it’s really cool to be able to take the reigns and present women’s wrestling and do what I was fighting so hard for, and be given the platform to do what I was fighting so hard for. It’s really amazing and it makes me cry because Impact didn’t have to do any of that. They’ve gone above and beyond to help me because they believe in me and they love me and obviously we have a really good relationship. And they wanted to see EmPowerrr be successful, because they want me to be successful.
“It’s been really amazing to see that and to see the bumpers, the video package and all these cool things to promote the show that isn’t even their show. But even like Billy giving me the platform and to be able to present the show in a way I kind of saw it in a vision, or however it is. It’s just really cool, and it’s cool because I don’t, I didn’t want people, because of how things ended with WWE, I think people think I have this bitterness or this anger whatever. I’m more of a sarcastic person, if you know my sense of humor, I joke about a lot of things because it’s easier to hide my emotions underneath jokes. But I really wanted to do something special and I really wanted to do something powerful, and I couldn’t do that alone. And I think I found the right women to present and everybody’s come together, and it’s amazing. It’s amazing and it makes me cry sometimes. Because I love wrestling.”
James also talked about all the decision makers involved with EmPowerrr being women, with Gail Kim, Jazz and Madusa assisting her in putting the show together. It was important to James that this be the case.
“That was important to me too and that was a conversation with Billy and I where we were like ‘we need to have where it’s like an all (women’s produced show),'” James said. “There’s obviously going to be men back there helping, between Pat and Billy and Daivari or whoever else. But the people at the decision making table needed to be women and I was like ‘well I feel they needed to be women who represented the generations of pro wrestling.’ Who all overcame they’re own adversities, who kind of kicked down glass ceilings and the doors. I remember when I first tried out for ECW, Jazz was there and I was like ‘holy s**t.’ She was a bad ass. She was so different and when I first got into wrestling that was what I wanted to be. I wanted to be one of the best wrestlers and not just one of the best female wrestlers, just one of the best wrestlers. To me Jazz was that, because she would wrestle like the guys. And everything she did looked legit and it was impactful and it was powerful, yes she was still beautiful and still a woman and she was a strong, bad ass woman in a man’s ring. And that was the big difference maker.
“I think every women’s career that I’ve chosen is significant and they’ve all broken down those glass ceilings for themselves, for the generations and for people to come back and want to aspire to be like them. From Madusa, you know, even Beth (Phoenix) has said that was her favorite, and she was one of her biggest inspirations. I think we all have our stories. Everybody in wrestling has their stories and their obstacles and all the things. But it’s really cool that it’s a multi-generational women’s kind of (thing). The road that had been paved to get to where we’re at now with all these women, it’s just pretty remarkable. And it’s multicultural, multi-generational, multi-bad asses. And I can’t say enough about Gail. I love Gail so much and what she’s done with the Knockouts too and what she was able to do with Impact. It’s just really cool. And they’re all my friends and I love them and I respect them, and I respect their opinions. We’re all on the same boat on the same team. It’s good, it’s really, really good.”
While James won’t be wrestling on EmPowerrr as she focuses on producing it, she will wrestle at the NWA 73 Anniversary Show the next night, taking on Kylie Rae. James is over the moon about the matchup.
“I’m very excited about it,” James said. “Obviously Kylie is amazing and anyone that I’ve talked to and I’ve seen, I saw her perform at the last set of tapings and that was the first time I’ve met her. I think she’s incredible. Everyone’s compared her to me in a lot of ways and I’m like ‘oh I don’t know. She might be better (but not really).’ No she’s incredible and I’m very excited. It’s the right match as well because it’s a good homecoming. It’s my first match back in a ring in a long time and it felt right, because she’s a babyface, Smiley Kylie. And I know that she’s going to go out there and we’re going to have a killer match. And that was kind of what it’s about, and that’s to go out there and have like a first match back that felt good for the people, that felt good for me, that felt good for her. And I think it’s going to be awesome.”
James also talked about her good friend Melina, who will be wrestling Deonna Purrazzo for the Impact Knockouts Championship on EmPowerrr. James really put over Melina and how she’s working to overcome set backs that have recently plagued her, with James’ encouragement.
“I look at Melina and her career and everything and I know Melina, and I know her heart and her soul,” James said. “She’s very passionate. I felt like, especially after her knee injury and she almost went back and then she didn’t end up going back, she’s just had a lot of setbacks. We all have during the pandemic and stuff. It was never, I can always try to remind her like ‘those have nothing to do with you or your talent and ability. Because you’re amazing and you’re a star.’
"We get so humbled all the time that I think we forget how bright our star shines. And we almost kind of downplay our successes or downplay our victories and downplay all these things because we’re not supposed to celebrate them. I just want to shake her sometimes cause I’m like ‘you’re Melina. You’re amazing, you’re a star and and you are a multi-time Women’s Champion and you’re going to go out there and kill it. And I think we all need that one person to remind us that we’re freaking amazing, because you’ll have a whole lot of people try to tell you that you’re not.”

Braun Strowman Drops Hints On New Name, Which Company He Is Signing With (No "AEW Marks", He's Not "All Elite", LMAO)
Former WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman has been dropping teases about his future in the pro wrestling business all through the week.
Earlier today, Strowman hinted that he’s bound for Impact Wrestling and will be using the name “Titan” during the next chapter of his career.
Earlier this week, Impact EVP Scott D’Amore said on a Twitch clip that Impact is currently on the road to “Braun For Glory,” indicating that the former WWE Superstar could make his debut at the Bound For Glory pay-per-view in October. Talking on the same stream, D’Amore also teased that Buddy Murphy is bound for Impact.
It's has also been reported that both Strowman and Murphy are headed to Impact.
As noted earlier, Strowman has agreed to wrestle at Qatar Pro Wrestling’s “SuperSlam 3” show, which takes place on February 26, 2022. Strowman will travel to Qatar next month to sign an agreement.
Strowman is presently serving his 90-day non-compete clause with the WWE, and will reportedly become a a free agent on Tuesday, August 31. He was released by WWE earlier this year on June 2.
Could THIS 'Allegedly' Be The "New" NXT Logo? (Let's Hope Not, It looks F*cking Horrible)
Rapper and noted pro wrestling fan Wale may have just revealed the new WWE NXT logo and a snippet of the new NXT theme song.
As you'll see below, Wale posted a video to Twitter today that includes a song with several familiar hip-hop samples. The video also includes a bright color-changing NXT logo.
“‘Keep it true to self!’ @WWENXT,” Wale wrote as the caption.
The video was re-tweeted by Triple H, the official WWE account, and the official NXT account.
It’s been reported that a new, brighter look is coming soon for the NXT brand, with a new logo and a new feel for the weekly TV show. It will be interesting to see if this is a part of the new look. The new look is also supposed to coincide with a new creative directive for the brand.
This has not been confirmed, but a reset for the NXT brand is rumored for either the September 14 episode or the September 21 episode.
Trust me, NOBODY wants to see that lame ass shit become the new logo. It looks like something a five year old made in art class. This must've been another "Nick Khan" idea as only HE, would think THAT logo, is way better than say, THIS ONE.
Here's Wale's little clip.

Conrad's Continuing Saga Of Video Screw Ups Continues With This Latest One (Uploaded Fifteen Minutes Ago)
You would think after me writing about these several times, and even CONTACTING Conrad Thompson (to which he hasn't answered, mind you) that these kind of fuck ups would've been addressed and POSSIBLY corrected.
WELL? Nope, they haven't.
This one here was uploaded FIFTEEN MINUTES AGO and the audio isn't in synch with the video. You can hear Eric respond to Conrad but Conrad's lips are moving, LMAO!
Funny how these thing never happen with Cornette's video clips, but YET, Conrad for some reason has this LONG ATTEREN of continuous fuck ups going.. From the looks of things it's not gonna be corrected, any time soon.
If you want a recap of how this long pattern of constant screwing up has been going, you can go here and see for yourself. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/08/conrad-thompsons-video-screw-ups.html
You can check out this story here where i go over these fuck ups a little more. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/08/hope-conrad-isnt-paying-whoever-is.html
I did contact Conrad regarding this ongoing problem. And for anyone who wants to try and call "Bullshit", I have your bullshit right here with proof.
Maybe someone else should contact Mr. Thompson and see if he'll explain it to you, what he won't explain to me. Or maybe as I've said before, Conrad just doesn't give two shits how unprofessional his video clips look, just as long as they're there I guess is the logic and mentality.
Here's the link to the latest fuck up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vGan800v8Y
As Mr. Thompson continues to not correct the problem you can bet that every time whoever is uploading these keeps fucking up, I'll be writing about it.
This is like watching a bad low budget karate movie from the 80's.
But I guess, this is how, Conrad prefers his video clips.
Pretty sad he has allowed this to go on for so long, and CONTINUES to allow it.
Once again the Dave Meltzer "five stars for fucking up" rating goes to? Conrad Thompson.
Congrats Conrad.. (Sarcastic "thumbs up") Keep doing this 'great job' moron.
