Paul Christy ICW World Champion
That CRAZY Paul Christy... He's AT IT AGAIN! If you liked him on Tuesday Night Titans then check him out as ICW Heavyweight Champion circa 1984 in some localized promos and inside the squared circle as he takes on Ox Baker. Mark Batten calls the action (in one big run on sentence).
Dick the Bruiser vs Paul Christy (Either March 3, or July 14, 1979)
George Cannon's Superstars of Wrestling received a major shot in the arm, marquee-wise, when Dick the Bruiser graced the promotion in the spring of 1981. Despite being in the twilight of his career, Dick the Bruiser could still guarantee a strong house and action, as evidence by his work for the St. Louis territory in the same timeframe. To hype the Bruiser's arrival, Cannon aired this bout from Dick's WWA territory between the Bruiser and familiar foe Paul Christy (accompanied here by valet/future wife Miss Bunny Love). This match most likely occurred sometime in 1979 in Indianapolis, IN (Any help on the exact date and/or venue would be appreciated) and was reaired on Superstars sometime in April 1981. The action is joined in progress with the team of George "Crybaby" Cannon, Milt Avruskin, and heel manager Dr. Jerry Graham Jr (then managing the Mad Iranian, better known as The Iron Sheik) providing commentary from the studio.
Marcus Bagwell Has Been Arrested
The Georgia Gazette is reporting that former WCW star Marcus "Buff" Bagwell was arrested on 5/22 in Cobb County, GA.
Bagwell, 51, has been charged with a litany of offenses, including Bagwell was charged with eleven different misdemeanors including speeding, failure to yield when entering an intersection, giving false data to a law enforcement officer, hit and run (duty of driver to stop of return to scene of accident), following too closely, reckless driving, driving within a gore/median/emergency lane, driving under the influence of drugs, duty upon striking a fixed object, driving on the wrong side of the roadway and more.
Police records indicate he bonded out on 5/24
Paul Christy Passes Away
Paul Christy, who was a mainstay of Dick the Bruiser's Indianapolis territory in the 70s and 80s, passed away today at the age of 82. Christy was the real-life best man at the real-life Randy Savage & Elizabeth wedding before either was in WWF.
He did a magic act on a 1986 Tuesday Night Titans show. His future wife, Bunny Burmeiester was part of his act as manager Miss Bunny Love during the 80s after he turned heel after being a longtime babyface.
He spent some time wrestling in Arizona, Amarillo, Texas — where he was Billy Graham — and in the Gulf Coast territory, where he was billed as Chris Lucas, brother to the established Ken Lucas; the Lucas “brothers” were Southern tag team champions in 1965, 1966 and 1969.
In the Indianapolis-based WWA, Christy was a tag champion with Wilbur Snyder (1971), Moose Cholak (1977) and Roger Kirby (1979).
His friendship with Poffo, another Chicagoan, paid off when Christy won the ICW World title from Randy Savage (Poffo’s son) in November 1983, in the renegade promotion. “The Poffos were very good to me,” told Bill Kociaba in a Cauliflower Alley Club story in 2005. “I became their world champion and I stood as Randy’s best man when he married Liz. Angelo and I still are very close.”
Christy stopped wrestling in 1990.
In 2005, he published his autobiography, The Many Faces of Paul Christy.

Kenny Omega Seems To Have Taken A Shot At Jim Ross And Jim Cornette
In response to Jericho calling him “the best wrestler in the world today,” Omega seemingly took a shot at Jim Cornette, WWE fans, and AEW announcer Jim Ross.
During a recent episode of Grilling JR, Ross called Randy Orton the best wrestler in the world: “I don’t think anybody is any better than Randy Orton in the wrestling business.”
JR added, “I’m sure there’s Kenny Omega fans out there that would say Omega is the best wrestler in the world. Some will, and they got the right to their opinion and I’m not going to argue it. Omega is really frickin’ good. In any event, it’s a good time to be a fan. A lot of great talent out there, improving their game, adapting and adding things.”
So while Ross complemented Omega, ol Kenny thought making a snide remark at a guy who works in the same company he does, was a good idea.
Which shows that next time Kenny Omega 'thinks' he has a good idea? He should keep it to himself. Thinking and Kenny Omega obviously don't go hand in hand very well.
Of course Omega won't have the balls to say anything like that to Jim Ross's face. He doesn't have them kind of balls. Most keyboard warriors and internet Rambo's, usually don't.
As for Jericho claiming "It's impossible to argue"? I'd love to challenge Jericho to that argument. But of course he won't do it because he knows what people would say when he'd get his ass handed to him by me, with no effort needed whatsoever. There's plenty of argument here for that and Jericho would lose, easily if he even tried that with me. Because the list of wrestlers that ARE, better than Omega? Is quite long.. The last thing Jericho wants is for me to start naming them. So I know he'll do the wise thing, and just stay silent.
And of course he's "Most Protected". God forbid you'd actually want to elevate someone else and create a new star in your promotion. NNAA, why do that? That would make "way too Much Sense". So Omega, as one of the EVP's at AEW is gonna do everything he can to 'protect himself'. Gee, how many times have we've seen THAT before, eh?
Former Impact Star Rhaka Khan's Trial Pushed Back Until September
The trial for former WWE developmental and Impact Wrestling star Trenesha Daniyall Biggers aka Rhaka Khan before the 409th District Court in El Paso, Texas on charges of interference with child custody and "aggravated kidnapping facilitate" has been pushed back to Friday 9/24/21 at 8 AM. The trial has been pushed back several times, likely due to the slowdown in the court system brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was most recently scheduled to begin on 5/21.
Biggers was indicted on the charges in August 2019, leading to her being listed as one of El Paso’s most wanted fugitives after failing to appear in court. There are two court instances where her no-shows led to her bail being revoked. She was finally arraigned in December 2019. Biggers is being represented by a public defender.
In the State of Texas, interference with child custody is when someone "takes or retains a child when that person knows that the taking or detention of the child violates a judgment or order." It is considered a state jail felony and can be punishable by up to two years in prison.
Biggers last wrestled in 2011 for the now-defunct Lucha Libre USA promotion, which aired on MTV. Biggers was part of the 2005 WWE Diva Search and was signed to a developemental contract after failing to make it past the top 25 contestants in the search. She was sent to Deep South Wrestling but was released in May 2006. She worked for a number of independent promotions and in Japan before signing with Impact Wrestling in 2008, departing that promotion in 2009. She worked for Lucha Libre USA in 2010 and 2011.
