11/4 WILDKAT WRESTLING REVOLUTION RUMBLE LIVE REPORT

Edward King was on hand as our master of ceremonies to welcome us to the show. King expressed his thanks to the Wildkat fans for their support over the last 6 years. He then introduced the new Wildkat Heavyweight champ, ‘Wildcard’ J Spade. Before Spade could speak the fans began chanting, “You deserve it!”

Spade again thanked the fans for their support. He listed off his I Quit Match with Danny Flamingo and his submission and iron man matches with Matt Lancie as instances where they had been behind him. He was looking forward to his first title defense. He then asked that Edward King introduce him as the Wildkat Heavyweight Champ once more.

The celebration was stopped short by the music of Bruiser, Spade’s opponent for the night. Bruiser said he wanted to personally congratulate Spade. He pointed out that he himself is a 7 time MCW Heavyweight Champ. and warned Spade not to underestimate him. He then extended his hand as a sign of respect. and raised the hand of the champion. While Spade’s guard was down Bruiser leveled Spade with a slap and commenced to pummel him. A t-bone suplex knocked the wind from the champion and Bruiser stretched him out on the mat. Taking back to the mic Buiser said, “I told you, punk. Don’t underestimate me!” as the fans chanted, “You suck! You suck!”

Spade walked to the back under his own power, though smarting, to the adoration of the fans.

Blk Jeez v ‘Mythian Warrior’ Anthony

Before the match started Anthony flexed at Blk Jeez (formerly known as Sabian) from ringside with a young fan who had been jawing with Jeez.

Our match started out with some incredibly smooth chain wrestling; an exchange that soon saw Jeez roll to the outside requesting a time out as fans jeered him. Back inside Jeez was unable to make anything stick against his opponent and took some punishment in the form of a headscissor takedown and a slingshot elbow.

Anthony kept up the pace until a well placed kick stopped him in his tracks. Blk Jeez kept the upper hand for a bit by bending the rules in between doling out his own more legal forms of punishment. Jeez went to the top rope calling for something big, but was stopped by the uppercut of Anthony who then superplexed him off of the turnbuckle. Anthony’s newfound momentum wouldn’t carry him long however, as Blk Jeez nailed him with a sick German suplex for a 2 count followed by a flatliner. Back on the top rope Jeez flew across the length of the ring for a frog splash. Still he was only able to get a 2 count. A woozy Anthony landed a desperation superkick, but was unable to finish the deed. Jeez was caught by the official trying to use the rope for leverage during a pinfall, which allowed Anthony to get back to his feet to roll up Jeez for a 3 count.

Winner: ‘Mythian Warrior’ Anthony

This was a great way to start off the show. Highly entertaining with solid work from our wrestlers.

Anthony is a true pro in all of his matches and it’s always refreshing to see talented wrestlers like Blk Jeez make their debut in front of a new crowd.

Black Wall Street (Drolix and Marcellus Prime) v ‘Chalmation Sensation’ Danny Flamingo and Sam Houston

Houston and Drolix started us off. Drolix seemed hesitant to engage so Houston tagged in Flamingo. Drolix out-quicked Danny to begin with but soon found out why Flamingo is a former Revolution Champion falling victim to some dropkicks and arm drags. This prompted Drolix to retreat to the safety of his corner and tag in Marcellus Prime. The much larger Prime was impossible for Flamingo to overpower and Danny found himself being pummeled by the mountainous Black Wall Street member.

Houston tagged in and started putting his veteran experience to work, attacking the knee of Prime. Drolix tagged in to try his luck against the legend, but found himself in the same predicament as Prime. Black Wall Street was able to stop the assault of Houston following a double team, and the two began to pummel the vet taking every shortcut they could to keep the ball on their side of the court.

At this point the match began to resemble a street fight as a fired up Flamingo re-entered the fray. A DRS jawbreaker dazed Prime, but the referee was distracted by Drolix and didn’t count the pin. This allowed Prime to get back to his feet and nearly put Danny through the ring with a press spinebuster. Prime dumped Houston outside unceremoniously and was soon sent to the floor himself by a Rocky and Carlo’s Special (bicycle kick) from Flamingo Our former Revolution champ then landed on all three men at ringside with a death defying crossbody from the apron! The steet fight like nature of the match continued at ringside and both teams were then counted out to a draw. Not to worry as our combatants weren’t finished beating on each other. The two teams were then separated by security as Houston jawed with the official over not counting the pinfall earlier.

Winner: Draw

Rest assured this is not over. I’m looking forward to the next chapter of this rivalry. This contest had a feeling that it was personal, thanks in no small part to the brand of fury only Danny Flamingo can bring to a match.

‘Ruthless’ Ryan Davidson v ‘The Situ-Asian’ Bu Ku Dao

For years, this rivalry has been building up from the beginnings of a rolling boil to a volcanic eruption.

The two started in on each other before the bell rang and laid in some hard shots. An early Wasabi attempt by Dao ended up landing him on the receiving end of a thunderous slam. After that Davidson began inflicting a textbook beating on the ‘Situ-Asian’. Dao refused to quit and fired back with some quick elbows, but couldn’t fully swing momentum back in his favor. Still Davidson was unable to break the indomitable will of the former Wildkat Heavyweight Champ as Bu Ku would not stay down for a three count or give up while being stretched. An expertly placed DDT from Dao left both competitors on the mat trying to shake out the cobwebs.

Dao showed that he has learned his lesson from battling much larger men by attacking with some lightning quick offense in the form of strikes and a facebuster, but a successful Wasabi attempt could not keep Davidson down for the three. Dao then wrapped up Davidson in The General Tso-Mission who was able to reverse the hold into a pinning attempt. Dao slipped the pin and held Davidson’s shoulders to the mat with a crucifix pin for the three count.

Winner: ‘The Situ-Asian’ Bu Ku Dao

After the bell rang, Davidson was enraged. He set to work dismantling Dao finishing up with a fisherman buster. After the referee pleaded with him, Davidson finally took his leave so that Doa could collect himself and walk to the back.

Both Davidson and Doa have highly entertaining personalities and always put on a great show in the ring. Putting them together is a sure winner. The fire and intensity that they’ve been bringing to this feud is a nice new take as well.

‘The Equal Opportunity Ass Kicker’ Ruby Raze issues an open challenge…

Raze took to the ring ready to call out anyone in the back who would dare try and best her. Before she could speak we were all surprised to hear the intro music of ‘The King of Dong Style’ Joey Ryan!

Ryan strutted out to the ring with his patented swagger while the Wildkat fans lost their minds. If they had had rose petals in their possession they would have been tossing them at his feet. Ryan asked who wanted his lollipop, then placed his sucker in the mouth of one ‘lucky’ fan wearing an Ultimate Warrior t shirt.

At the start of the contest Joey Ryan  stuck out his pelvis and exclaimed, “Touch my penis!” A YP Plex seemed imminent, but Raze refused. He grabbed her arm in an arm lock and tried to force contact, but Raze escaped and began laying in right hands.

The fight then rolled outside and that’s when things got serious. The two began choking and striking each other to great effect right before the front row fans with Ruby Raze coming out on top of the exchange. Much to her chagrin she soon fell victim to a YP Plex, but Ryan was only able to get a 2 count! A Boob Plex later and Raze was reeling.

Ryan produced a second lollipop from his tights and the fans went ballistic. He placed it in her mouth for Sweet Tooth Music, but still only got a 2 count! The fans were now fully behind Raze who used her newfound momentum wisely. Punishing Ryan with a series of suplexes and slams she then felled him with a rope-hung brainbuster for the 3 count!

Your Winner: ‘The Equal Opportunity Ass Kicker’ Ruby Raze

Short, sweet and wall-to-wall entertaining. Yes please! Raze was the perfect opponent for Joey Ryan’s first showing in a Wildkat ring. A match handed down by the wrestling gods themselves. I’d love to see Ryan return to take on more members of the Wildkat roster in the future.

‘Wildcard’ J Spade(c) v Bruiser for the Wildkat Heavyweight Championship

After taking an eternity to engage, Bruiser had both the fans and the champion riled up. He used that anger to his advantage and smacked Spade with some cheap shots. Spurred on by the fans, Spade fired back and the two engaged in a back and forth full-contact sparring session both in and out of the ring. Once back inside Bruiser ducked a diving crossbody by Spade, but only picked up a 2 count.

Stretching, stomping and pummeling the new champion, Bruiser was cutting a path to victory with each passing moment. When the referee found himself distracted by Bruiser’s valet, the challenger took the opportunity to choke out Spade with a piece of his athletic tape. Taking every opportunity to break the rules, it was clear Bruiser had no intention of competing in a fair fight. The battered champion refused to give in, but couldn’t build a head of steam against his first challenger.

Bruiser found himself on the losing end of an exchange of right hands and Spade followed up  with a tornado DDT and a diving crossbody for a controversial 2 count. After having words with the referee over the count Spade fell victim to a t bone suplex also for a 2 count. A discus forearm to a bewildered Bruiser later and J Spade was able to pick up the pinfall victory!

Winner: ‘Wildcard’ J Spade

Exciting and high energy. The perfect first defence for Spade. Spade is a true athlete and is proving himself to be a deserving champion. I’ve also enjoyed Bruiser at the last two Wildkat shows and hope to see him more in the future.

Kojak Sly w/ Hardbody Harper v Krazy With a K

The mammoth Sly stalked Krazy from across the ring like prey. Kojak proved impervious to all of Krazy’s attacks who took an incredible bump in the form of a fall away slam when trying for a diving crossbody.

After nearly decapitating Krazy with a lariat, Sly lifted his lifeless body overhead for a vicious facebuster finally putting him out of his misery via 3 count.

Winner: Kojak Sly

Kojak Sly is definitely becoming more and more of that monster in the ring he was meant to be.

Ken Dixon(c) v Socorro w/Hardbody Harper and Kojak Sly

Socorro immediately marched out to the ring after Kojak Sly’s victory and Harper proclaimed that they would not be waiting for the main event for Socorro’s Revolution title rematch. He demanded that Ken Dixon make his way to the ring and the Revolution Champion was happy to oblige.

It was clear early on that this was personal as the two began slugging and wrenching away with some hellish blows and holds. Socorro quickly resorted to pulling the beard of Dixon. Sly and Harper proved invaluable at ringside. After Socorro missed a Splash of Soco, Dixon sent him to the outside so that he himself could recover from the assaults of Sly and Harper.

Once Socorro was back inside, Dixon began bending the rules in his own way, fighting fire with fire. The vicious slugfest that this match had become got out of hand as the referee was leveled in the whirlwind of their melee.

Unable to count the three after a belly to back suplex from Socorro. Sly took the opportunity to aid Socorro in leveling Dixon, but the champion was back to his feet before long to deliver an avalanche ace crusher to Socorro. He was only able to pick up the two count though and following some shenanigans from Sly and Harper, Socorro was finally able to hit the Splash of Soco and pick up the 3 count.

Winner: Socorro

A good high paced contest with plenty of action and story. If I had to sum this up in one word, it would be, “intense.”

Pump Patrol (Curt Matthews, Jared Wayne and Johnny Flex) v ‘Southern Stomper’ Luke Hawx and ‘Outlaw’ Matt Lancie

Matthews and Lancie started us off, and Pump Patrol quickly took to using underhanded tactics to get ahead. Having had enough, Luke tagged in. Soon all out chaos had erupted in the ring orchestrated by Pump Patrol, but Lancie was quick to level Wayne and Flex. After sending Matthews to the outside to join his teammates, Hawx and Lancie started mocking Pump Patrol by doing pushups and squats.

Always having something to prove against Hawx, Flex tagged in and engaged. Hawx was quick to overpower him and set in with his patented back breakers, getting in 5 of them before Flex escaped. A fired up Flex then escaped a press slam and sent Hawx to the outside with a dropkick.

Once both were back inside Lancie and Matthews tagged in and took the fight to the outside. As they beat on each other, Jared Wayne hit them both with a rolling senton from the apron! Hawx tried to dismantle Johnny Flex, but the quick and sly Flex was able to catch him on the middle rope for a powerbomb! A Pumple’s Elbow on Lancie got them a 2 count. Hawx tagged in to deal with Wayne, but the two wrestled to a stalemate. Lancie came back in hot and destroyed Matthews’ ribs with a spear! Wayne intervened and in the confusion Flex mistakenly hit Wayne in the eyes with a handful of protein powder.

Lancie and Hawx took Wayne apart with a combination powerbomb to blockbuster double team! The three count was just the cherry on top.

Winners: ‘Southern Stomper’ Luke Hawx and ‘Outlaw’ Matt Lancie.

This match has been building since X-Rated 3 back in June. All five of these guys always give more than 100% in the ring and it’s a real treat seeing them all in there at the same time. As a fan following the story it was also nice to see Pump Patrol get their comeuppance.

Revolution Rumble

Each year Wildkat puts on a unique rumble match at their anniversary event. Two combatants start off in the ring and the rest the entrants fill in one-by-one at regular intervals until all 15 have made their way in. Competitors are eliminated when they are thrown over the top rope and both feet hit the floor, as with regular battle royal rules. However, when only two wrestlers are left the match is restarted as a singles one-fall-to-a-finish contest. The winner is then granted a shot at the coveted Wildkat Revolution title at the following show.

The entry order for the match was as follows.

  1. Drolix
  2. Jace Valor w/ The Mobile Home Mafia (Herc ‘ZZ’ LaBouef and Bubba Boudreaux)
  3. Mr. Bates w/ Nathan Bradley
  4. ‘Mr. Excellence’ Brandon Scott
  5. Marcellus Prime
  6. Johnny Flex
  7. Scott Phoenix
  8. Edgrin Stone
  9. Joey Ryan
  10. Jared Wayne
  11. ‘Chalmation Sensation’ Danny Flamingo
  12. ‘The Situ-Asian’ Bu Ku Dao
  13. ‘Money’ Mike Carradine
  14. Blk Jeez
  15. Kojak Sly

Marcellus Prime was eliminated by Edgrin Stone. Mr. Bates suffered the same fate by Stone’s hand. Jared Wayne was then eliminated followed by Drolix. Scott Phoenix was eliminated by Edgrin Stone. Stone was having a career day!

Bu Ku Dao was eliminated via YP Plex from Joey Ryan. Danny Flamingo was eliminated by Johnny Flex. Joey Ryan was then eliminated. Mike Carradine was eliminated by Kojak Sly.

At this point Edgrin Stone and Kojak Sly stood toe-to-toe. Stone drew Sly off balance and eliminated him. Johnny Flex then sneakily eliminated Blk Jeez.

Our final four were Jace Valor, Johnny Flex, Edgrin Stone and Brandon Scott.

Johnny Flex used his cunning to stay in it, nailing Edgrin Stone with a drive by dive from the top rope and Brandon Scott with a sunset flip. As Stone tried to eliminate Flex, they were both dumped outside by Scott and Valor.

We were down to just Jace Valor and Brandon Scott. At this point the match was restarted as a one one one contest.

The two went at each other with a fury I had never seen from either of them before. Brandon Scott took over initially as the MHM tried to coach Valor from ringside. When Scott missed a diving fist drop Valor tried to take advantage, but was unable to match Scott’s pace.

Jace answered a discuss elbow with an overhead kick to get the ball of momentum rolling down hill for him for the first time in the match. Scott used his lightning quick reflexes and technical prowess to escape and the two engaged in a series of pin attempts. Soon after Valor found himself on top of the exchange and got the 3 count!

Winner: Jace Valor

This Revolution Rumble did a good job of shaping some of the newer Wildkat talents. I’m not sure of the numbers but I wouldn’t doubt that Edgrin Stone set the record for most eliminations in a single Rumble, and Johnny Flex’s bag of tricks gets more and more versatile with every show.

MOOSE FIRES BACK AGAINST CRITICS OF BOUND FOR GLORY

Impact Wrestling's Moose took to Twitter today to respond to those who were critical of the Bound for Glory PPV last night:


Your roster is great, it's your booking team and their lame bullshit ideas that fail that's the problem. Whose fault is it that the bookers suck ass and the illogical booking of BFG clearly showed that? HHMMM, look at your bookers, dumb ass. And if anyone wants to ask "can you do better"? My answer? ABSOLUTELY I could do better, any day of the week.  I worked for indy groups that actually know HOW to book logically, unlike Impact Wrestling.

Instead of showing how they are different? You get the same old Bullshit Booking Impact Wrestling always does.

http://www.f4wonline.com/tna-results/bound-glory-2017-live-results-eli-drake-vs-johnny-impact-245786

Here's a comparison that nothing changes if nothing REALLY changes.

Bound for Glory 2007. It was a great show from top to bottom but then in the end, there was bullsh** interference from Kevin Nash ruining a Sting vs. Kurt Angle main event. The inteference didn't enhance the match, it just ruined the overall experience that was the rest of the show. It didn't further the main event. It didn't further any real storyline, it was just a bullsh** out. It took a crowd that was having a great time and left them less than enthused walking out, because the last thing the fans remember is what they see before the show ends.

A decade later, there is no Vince Russo, no Jeff Jarrett, no Dixie Carter to point the finger at and place the blame on, yet the company did the exact same thing they always do anytime they have any hope of trying to show the world things are different. Thing aren't different and let's all face it, they won't be a year from now - and Impact have no one to blame but themselves, because every person who took the heat and was blamed for these decisions in the past is nowhere near Impact right now. It was just another bullsh** out.

It was just another bullsh** finish to another bullsh** PPV and even worse, it was the same old crap when the company needs, NEEDS, NEEDS to not be the same old crap all over again. The only ones this company are going to be bullsh**ing if they keep this up is themselves, because with each passing repeat, they lose more and more of the fan base that is left - and that fan base is a small percentage of what they had three years ago. Doing the same old angles and finishes that WWE has done to death forever won't fix that, but at this point, what the hell will fix that?

I know someone in the company will be emailing me, tonight to tell me how I am being unfair. I am not and before anyone calls, I ask them this question - when's the last time Vince McMahon completely F***ed his audience on a Wrestlemania main event? This was your Wrestlemania. You should have treated the main event like that, not a Nitro from 2000.

Chris Jericho to face Kenny Omega at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 12

In a shocker, Chris Jericho will be wrestling Kenny Omega at the Tokyo Dome for New Japan Pro Wrestling on January 4th, 2018. Omega retained his IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship against Trent Barreta at today's Power Struggle show and called out his next challenger after. It was teased that no one was left to challenge him, but Jericho then appeared in a video.

Jericho said he was the best in the world and the Alpha of this business before challenging Omega to the match, which Omega accepted. Jericho and Omega, who are both from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, have been engaged in a Twitter "feud" recently, but it wasn't apparent if that would ever amount to anything.

After Power Struggle, the other matches that appear to be set for Wrestle Kingdom 12 at the Tokyo Dome are Kazuchika Okada vs. Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Jay White (who returned to NJPW as Switchblade today) for the IWGP Intercontinental title, Marty Scurll vs. Will Ospreay vs. KUSHIDA vs. Hiromu Takahashi for the Junior title, and Sho & Yoh vs. The Young Bucks for the Junior tag titles.

 Jericho is able to work the match due to being a free agent after his WWE contract expired.

Triple H appears at ICW show in Cardiff..

While the Raw brand is in the United Kingdom for the first several stops on their side of the European tour, Triple H paid a visit to one of the country's promotions that WWE is friendly with.

He made a surprise appearance at Insane Championship Wrestling's "Road to Fear & Loathing X" show in Cardiff, Wales today. ICW owner Mark Dallas and WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne were in the ring before Dallas called out Triple H to join them. Triple H got a big reaction from the crowd and cut a brief promo, thanking them for supporting the promotion and pro wrestling.

During the promo, Triple H called ICW one of the places where the wrestling business starts. He said the European scene is going to continue to grow, with guys like Dunne and Tyler Bate setting the world on fire, and closed by saying the industry is going to be taken to new heights.

Along with PROGRESS Wrestling, ICW is one of the promotions in the UK that WWE has a working relationship with. Noam Dar and Kassius Ohno have also appeared at ICW shows over the last few months.

The Raw roster is in Cardiff for a house show today as well, with both Triple H and Dunne wrestling on the event. Video of Triple H's appearance in ICW is available to watch below:

'Tokyo' Joe Daigo passes away at 75 years old

Yukihiro Sakada, better known as Joe Daigo and Tokyo Joe, a former wrestler and longtime agent for New Japan Pro Wrestling, passed away today in Calgary from colon cancer.
He was 75.
Daigo had been living in Calgary for more than 40 years. He was in an auto accident and was confined to a wheelchair, but helped train TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd), Harry Smith (Davey Boy Smith Jr.), Natalya, and many other wrestlers in the area, as well as helped train numerous Japanese wrestlers including Jushin Liger, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Kensuke Sasaki, Shinya Hashimoto, Hiroshi Hase, Hiro Saito, Super Strong Machine, George Takano, among others.
"He really taught me a lot about training, and about life really," said Smith. "He had a sixth sense, second sight or maybe a bit psychic. I'm not sure if anything with his leg injury had to do with that, but he was always right about everything."
Sakada for the past several years had lived in seclusion in Calgary, and had kept his cancer a secret.
He wrestled from 1966 to 1974, when he suffered his career ending auto accident, in the United States, Canada, and Japan, with his home base being the old IWE promotion.
He was best known as a trainer and talent scout for New Japan Pro Wrestling, and was a key in getting international exposure and stardom for people like Bret Hart, Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith, as well as The Undertaker and Bam Bam Bigelow early in their careers.

The PPV and the TV tapings will be the first events actually booked under the John Gaburick, Scott D'Amore, Sonjay Dutt, Jeremy Borash,   Abyss regime.  All of TV leading to tonight's PPV was locked in and filmed when Jeff Jarrett was with the company.

We received a question regarding why every Impact Wrestling referee opted out of the company.  The word that has made the rounds is that the company offered a number of them a payday greatly reduced from what they usually received, which started the domino effect when the Hebners requested releases instead.  There was talk that Jack Doan was reached out to work the PPV as a referee, but we haven't confirmed he's actually going to do so. It's expected all the refs will be locals.

In the wake of what happened with the referees, there has been some concern among wrestlers that they will be asked to renegotiate deals to take lesser money at some point over the course of this week's tapings.   Everyone is aware of how deep the cost-cutting is, with talents who aren't needed for the PPV not even being brought in until whatever taping date they are needed.  There are some talents who are working just a few taping dates before being sent home, which likely means, at least in the case of top talents, a lot of material filmed out of sequence.

The company is also down a lot of the backstage crew.  No one in Canada has told me they've seen Bob Ryder and it appears he's doing his duties from Nashville.  Jolene George, the company's seamstress, was scheduled for this week and then at the last minute was told the company was not bringing her in.  The company didn't bring in at least part of the production team that handled pre-tapes.  There were also several company staffers who were not able to get into Canada we are told, including the person who drives the merchandise to the shows. 

Devon Nicholson's Great North Wrestling went on their Facebook page asking that any fans interesting in helping to set up the building come by this morning.  Nicholson is expected to work the tapings this week.

Why not have Jeff Jarrett and the Honkytonk Man come in as well doing guitar shots, LOL. Ugh if this isn't right out of the WCW Russo era booking book, LOL!

Jason Jordan vs. Elias in a "Guitar on a Pole Match" has been announced for Monday's taped WWE RAW in Manchester, England. The match was made after recent guitar attacks between the two on RAW.

Below is WWE's official announcement on the match:
Jason Jordan and Elias to battle in a Guitar-on-a-Pole Match
Jason Jordan looks to change Elias' tune in painful fashion.
After Elias blasted Jason Jordan with his guitar during their match two weeks ago, Jordan fired back last week and delivered a guitar counter-assault.
Accordingly, WWE.com has learned that the two Superstars will come to Manchester, England this Monday night to go head-to-head in a Guitar-on-a-Pole Match on Raw.
The contest, which can only be won when a Superstar retrieves the guitar and uses it on his opponent, promises to leave one of these competitors singing the blues.

LOL! Man I love this. :) Former NWA Star Says He Told Vince McMahon To 'F--- Himself' After Being Pitched Gimmick

Manny Fernandez has always had strong opinions on the wrestling business. The 63-year-old veteran recently joined the Duke Loves Rasslin podcast and talked about what he thinks is wrong with the WWE.

The WWE has been no stranger to criticism over the past few years. With the wealth of talent on its roster, it's easy to chastise the company for not utilizing a superstar in the right way or for giving a push to a superstar undeserving of one. Fernandez said he believes it's the writers' fault for not recognizing which wrestlers should really get a chance at the top of the card.

"They're going by what the writers see," Fernandez said. "Simon Gotch said it the best way: Enzo Amore is an idiot. He didn't even know that I was tag teaming with Dusty Rhodes or who Dusty Rhodes was and stuff. I mean, that's the kind of people they got there.

Fernandez, known as "The Raging Bull," also discussed the time he told off Vince McMahon. The WWE chairman had offered him a job as a trainer in NXT, but Fernandez turned it down. He said his training style likely would not have meshed with how things are done in NXT, so he has no regrets about his decision not to accept the offer.

"When Vince tried to hire me and put horns on my head like a real Raging Bull, I told him to go f**k himself and made him look like an idiot," Fernandez said. "So he was [mad] that I never came back begging for a job. I was never begging for a job. I was asked to train down at NXT, I go, "No, thank you, I train the way I train, I don't want to be told how to train people.' I train people the way I was trained, the way I was brought up and if that doesn't suit you, tough!"

Johnny Impact On Wrestling Being Cooler Outside Of WWE, Impact Wrestling's Future, Eli Drake

Source: Mirror
Johnny Impact spoke with the Mirror before his upcoming title match against Eli Drake at Impact Bound For Glory this Sunday. Here are some of the highlights:

The coolest work is being done outside of WWE:
"Right. I was kind of ruminating on this today. This is an overstatement, but when WWE, WWF at the time, came into power and Vince McMahon put all the other territories out of business, everything went really mainstream and New York was the number one show. Now I feel like independent wrestling is so hot, it's almost like the territories have started to re-emerge. And you've got major companies like Lucha Underground, Impact Wrestling, Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro Wrestling, AAA, CMLL [Mexico's Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre] that have got TV deals in place ... 5 Star Wrestling also in the UK ... then you've got these really hot independent wrestling promotions in the States: Pacific Coast Wrestling, DEFY Wrestling, All American Wrestling, WrestleCircus and then PROGRESS, ICW in the UK ... I'm leaving out a ton. In my opinion the cutting edge of professional wrestling, the coolest stuff is happening on the edge, on the fringes, at independent wrestling shows. People are lifelong fans of WWE because they grew up on it. I grew up on it. I want my kids to watch it and I'm going to take them to shows. But the product feels watered down. It doesn't feel as cool as it does to wrestle for DEFY in Seattle. Because at that show, it feels like a smarter audience that expects more and there's no creative limitations. I don't feel there's any limits to the story I can tell. That's cool man."

Eli Drake
"Yeah, I've known Eli Drake for years because we both live in Los Angeles, but I had never worked with him prior to coming to Impact. I was really impressed. It's going to sound like a backhanded compliment, but he really exceeded my expectations. He's really stepped up his game. That's the exact thing that Impact needs right now. Unfortunately for him, I can take even bigger steps, so when my game gets stepped up, he's in trouble!"

Impact Wrestling's Future:
"Absolutely. I feel like IMPACT was in that position before. Since I've got there, I feel like a lot of things have started happening again. The company has started to look at different talents and the talent that we have there are really upping their game. I've felt really at home with the Impact locker room since day one. Guys like Bobby Lashley, I met him on his first day in WWE. Chris Adonis - Chris Masters - and I, we went to the same elementary school. EC3, I knew him from WWE. I knew him and I could have epic matches. Then there's new people that I'm getting the chance to work with too, like LAX. Everyone who works there is working hard and I feel like the whole company is undergoing a re-branding if you will. I'm hoping that I can be at the forefront of that and push it into a new Impact era. Impact was hot and it was cutting edge, when they had AJ Styles, Samoa Joe ... then they fell into that kind of WCW trap, where they said 'we've got money, let's get the biggest stars' ... but the biggest stars aren't cutting edge usually."

Impact Wrestling releases yet ANOTHER ONE (they really are THIS stupid)

The Squared Circle Sirens website reported today that Impact Wrestling has released MJ Jenkins, the talent who was signed to a deal after taking a LONG bus ride to Orlando to work as an enhancement talent.  She had been used a few times but was never really given much of a TV presence.    We have independently confirmed the release.  Jenkins was obviously very early on in her career and needed seasoning, but something about the company letting her go really saddens me, given that what she was willing to through for a chance got her the job in the first place.  That's the type of person you want on your roster.  Hopefully she can continue to grow as a talent and rebound.

Impact Wrestling again proves what idiots they are with releasing Marshe Rockett AND, YET MORE IMPACT EXITS, IS FORMER TNA CHAMPION NEXT?

Marshe Rockett, who had worked for Impact Wrestling in the X-Division during the Billy Corgan regime, announced a few hours ago that he was done with the company.

Referee Robert Moore announced his departure from the company as well, citing on Twitter that he felt that he would never be signed to a contract and that it was time to move on:


As Dave Scherer mentioned, referee Brian Hebner also announced via Twitter that he had requested and received his release from Impact Wrestling.   As PWInsider.com had previously reported, as part of financial cutbacks for this month's events in Ottawa, Impact intends to use Canadian referees who are local for the Bound for Glory PPV and subsequent TV tapings this week.   Hebner had been with the company for a number of years.  His father, Earl Hebner, was inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame several years ago.  One has to think his status with the company is also in question at this point.

With so many releases exits lately, PWInsider.com has been told the next major name to keep an eye on is former TNA champion James Storm.  Storm's deal with the company, we are told, expires in January 2018, but with this coming week's TV tapings covering the next several months of episodes, they may actually end up being his final official dates for the company.     Storm has been with Impact since TNA was founded in June 2002, with the exception of a short break after his contract expired, where he worked several NXT tapings and was offered a WWE deal before opting to sign his current Impact deal.

As PWInsider.com broke several days ago, Rockstar Spud was also released.  We are told that was done as Spud's request and the release came through about three weeks ago.  MJ Jenkins, a Knockout who had hardly been used, was also released this week.  These departures follow other recent exits that include Low Ki, Eddie Kingston and Jeff Jarrett

Backstage News On Taryn Terrell's Impact Wrestling Release..

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter
As noted, former TNA Knockouts Champion Taryn Terrell has left TNA and was removed from the Fatal 4-Way Knockouts Championship match at Bound for Glory this Sunday. The match now features GFW Knockouts Champion Sienna defending her title against Allie and Gail Kim. The explanation given on commentary was that doctors would not clear Terrell after she was slapped by Kim.

 Terrell had just returned to the company this past August at Destination X. Her previous stint with the company lasted from 2012 until January of 2016. During a media conference call last week, Josh Mathews addressed her short stint with the company.

"Taryn's deal wasn't a short deal, it's just that some things happened," Mathews said. "The release was requested and given, it wasn't a three week contract or anything like that. I always tell my wife that there's different rules for different players, so I don't know the ins and outs of every contract of every person that steps foot onto our television. I know a few of them - a majority of them - but as it relates to the people you want around or are building around for the long term, then yeah, you should have a long term contract. I'm not saying that those people don't, I think that they do. I can only speak to my contract, and it's quite lengthy."

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the reason she was granted her release is because she can't get into Canada. The company for now is doing all of their tapings in Canada, which made it impossible for them to use her, similar to what happened with Jim Cornette. Meltzer noted that the split was said to be amicable on both sides.

More proof I beat the 'big names' of wrestling sites on the NWA video :) ...

Wrestlinginc posted this though I had this up last night, and I said last night they'd be playing catch up to me. :) Nice to see what I said? Plays out to be so true. :)

Another of my fave indy groups I watch every week.. Reality of Wrestling TV: Episode 183

It seems that McMahon doesn't understand much these days, Ryback On Vince McMahon McMahon Thinking He Was Fat, Vince Not Understanding His Entrance...

Source: The Art of Wrestling
Ryback recently was a guest on The Art of Wrestling podcast with Colt Cabana and discussed his working relationship with Vince McMahon. Ryback said the WWE chairman had issues with both his physique and his entrance.

Ryback has wrestled in a singlet throughout his career and sees it as his trademark look. He took some inspiration from Rob Van Dam for the design of his attire. He said it was McMahon's decision to have him in wrestle in a singlet because he thought he was overweight.
"Its' funny because [Vince] was the one that put me in a singlet because he thought I was fat at one point. I have never been fat at any point in my career but this was a real thing. Word had gotten back to me that I needed to lose 30 lbs, and this was right before I debuted as Ryback, he said. "I was in trunks, but they put me in a black singlet, which made me look like a black Big Show. I thought to myself that I had to do something with this, so I got a hold of RVD and asked him if It was cool that I airbrushed my singlet because I had to do something. I had done this the week before and everybody was like, oh that looks good, so I thought, OK, this is going to work.

Ryback became so synonymous with his singlet that when the WWE tried to change his attire and have him wear trunks, he refused. Multiple WWE officials argued with him backstage, and he eventually had to have a conversation with McMahon himself. Ryback was allowed to continue wearing his singlet, but the argument accelerated the end of his run with the WWE.

"I responded back that it wasn't happening, and that he can talk to me if he wants to, but I'm wearing my singlet. I'm in control, I'm not wearing trunks. So, afterwards I started not to trust anything that was going on. Finally, everyone was pissed off so I went to the back and talked to Vince McMahon and said that we needed to talk," Ryback said. "I went to his office, we talked, and had a conversation about the singlet. I felt that I won the conversation, but not really since he controls everything. Eventually I went to trunks because I knew I was leaving and it became a mindgame at that point. John Cena approached me later and said to me, 'Congratulations. You won that conversation.' Ultimately, did I really win? I didn't win on TV after that."

Ryback also detailed a story about McMahon not understanding his entrance routine and having to explain it to him.

"One day Billy Kidman came up to me in 'Gorilla,' and he goes, 'Vince was on the headset and he wants you to explain your entrance.' I was just to the ring to bulls**t with some of the guys, and I asked him what he meant? Kidman responded that he doesn't understand my entrance. Like, why you do the arm thing, and then all the arms, and then all your legs," he said. "I said to him that I am collecting all of the energy in the arena, feeding off the energy off the crowd. I am collecting the left side, collecting the right side and then I am collecting everything and then eject it into my quads because I go I know Vince will understand that. This is really the discussion and Kidman can hear me explain it over the headset while I explain all of this. I inject their energy into me and then I shut down, and then I wake up, it's feeding time! I had to explain that to him, and then Kidman just goes, 'That is just so f***ng weird.'

A Three Way Dance between current champion, Jay D Luscious and former fan favorite, Travis Lee! Will the innovator of the Dance be returning home to Pittsburgh as the WORLD-1 champion? Last year Shane was able to walk out of Morganville as the W1 Television champion when he battled Travis Lee. Will lightning strike twice?



SPIN THE WHEEL MAKE THE DEAL MATCH

Current W1 North American champion, Pelle Primeau has been avoiding any and all challengers for his title since winning it several months ago after defeating Kyle The Beast, Archadia and Matt Tremont all in one night.

Travis Lee - WORLD-1’s favorite son, turned evil?

Travis Lee stood across the ring from his brother holding the W1 Championship he failed to capture. He had just viciously attacked the new champion, Jay D Luscious to the shock of the W1 fans. Travis Lee has been a fan favorite since he started with WORLD-1 in 2007 and has never captured the W1 title and apparently that frustration manifested last month. When W1 returns back home to Morganville NJ on November 4th, Travis Lee will address his actions!

Told you PWInsider, etc would be playing catch up on what I posted last night, here's proof. BILLY CORGAN ANNOUNCES FIRST NWA CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH UNDER COMPANY'S NEW OWNERSHIP

THE MID-SOUTH COLISEUM UNDER NEW PLAN

The future of the legendary Mid-South Coliseum, home of classic professional wrestling for decades under Jarrett Promotions, looks to be grim indeed.  According to today's Memphis Commercial-Appeal, the venue, which was shuttered in 2006, will be "mothballed" by the city, as opposed to upgrading the venue and utilizing it.

Mothballing means the city plans to secure and seal off the venue, leaving it standing but not making any attempts at upgrading it.    Instead of rehabilitating the Coliseum, the city will spend roughly $40 million on redevelopment of Orange Mound community to enhance its competitive sports locally.

The future of the Coliseum has been a big topic of discussion when it was shuttered in 2006 due to the costs needed to renovate the venue in order to bring it into modern standards.  An attempt by Jerry Lawler to run the venue one last time, featuring a proposed match between himself and Hulk Hogan was denied by the city.

Wiseacre Brewing had previoiusly researched a plan that would have seen the company invest $12 million into renovating and lease of the former entertainment venue.  That plan would have seen them yake over the the first floor of the Coliseum and rent the remaining space to a mix of businesses would have potentially included restaurants, a bowling alley, climbing walls, a wrestling museum and a Civil Rights homage."

There has been a huge push from Memphis residents to save the facility, as opposed to paying to have it destroyed.  Memphis wrestling historian and author Mark James has been very involved in the campaign and noted in an interview with PWInsider.com several years ago it would actually cost the city more to destroy the venue then to renovate and repurpose it.

In today's Commercial-Times piece, the city's plan to mothball the arena, Roy Barnes, president of the Coliseum Coalition, an advocacy group that has pushed for the Arena to be repurposed, described today's decision as "real slap in the face to citizens" and claimed the move was made for political reasons, not to better the city.

The city is portraying the move as a chance to help the Coliseum, adding time towards potential investments in improving the facility or to allow the Coliseum Coalition the chance to raise their own funds towards that goal.

For decades, Monday nights in Memphis meant professional wrestling at the Mid-South Coliseum, which housed such moments as Jerry Lawler's feud with Bill Dundee, Andy Kaufman's foray into professional wrestling, Lawler's AWA World championship win over Curt Hennig and a bevy of names including Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Dutch Mantel, Randy Savage, Austin Idol, Tommy Rich, Paul Heyman, Jim Cornette, The Rock N' Roll Express, The Fantastics, The Fabulous Ones, The Midnight Express and even the earliest incarnation of what would eventually become the "Mr. McMahon" character with Vince McMahon playing heel
