Another Day And Another "Hidden Gem" WWE Doesn't Realize Isn't "So Hidden".
Paul Jordan at PWInsider again, has given me the inspiration to show that not all 'hidden gems' The WWE claim are hidden. Every day they make this way too easy for me to show.
The screen shots say it all. Research is definitely NOT WWE's friend it seems, LOL.

Since, Morons On Twitter Try To "Call Bullshit" On Me Working In Wrestling, Proof Is, A Motherfucker :)
I worked for acouple different indy promotions back in the 90's when I lived in NH. I was also a wrestling columnist back then too but morons who are either too fucking lazy, too freaking stupid, or just too damn ignorant to want to to do the research (cause then they'd see they're wrong and would have to actually, ADMIT IT, which they never have the balls to do), I'll make it easy for the dumb shits, right here.
From an old web page i used to use years ago is an article on my time in Sylvano Sousa's (Who worked in Canada, and in WWF in the 80's) Atlantic Wrestling Federation. He was the one who gave me my first break, and I learned alot from him.

Right from Evan Ginzburg's (who's now an associate producer of movies like The Wrestler and 350 Days) old Wrestling Then And Now newsletter (which I wrote for) web page is the article I wrote on what it was like to go thru the process of locally promoting my first show with WWA New England. Doing so in what was the toughest town in the state of NH to promote in (Cause it's what's known in the business as a 'permit' town')

David Arquette Goes Off About Negative Wrestling Fans (I'd LOVE To See Him Face To Face, No BS)
he says see me wherever he's wrestling and we'll settle it like men? Here's the question. What if he sees some fan, like myself? And he gets his ass kicked? THEN WHAT! He obviously didn't think his little rant thru too well.
Last month, Arquette made headlines in his brutal deathmatch against Nick Cage at GCW presents Joey Janela's L.A. Confidential in Los Angeles, California. Near the end of the match, Arquette had his neck cut from a broken light tube, causing him to nearly leave the match, and then attempt to shoot on his opponent at the end of the bout. Arquette later said in a statementhis lack of experience caused problems near the finish and confirmed deathmatches wouldn't be in his future.
Yesterday, NWA announced David Arquette would be wrestling at the upcoming Pop-Up Event on January 5 in Nashville, Tennessee. As noted, NWA World Champion Nick Aldis will be facing James Storm, NWA National Champion Willie Mack will defend against Matt Cross, while NWA Women's Champion Jazz takes on Allie.
Arquette apparently received enough negativity from some fans that caused him to respond on Twitter in a series of tweets. In them, he referenced his WCW World Heavyweight Championship win back in 2000 and why he's wrestling now. Here's his full response:
"I love all the hate I'm getting here. It baffles me that these people can love wrestling just like I do, but I'm a joke in their eyes. That's why I'm doing what I'm doing. Eight months of training. Two surgeries, three broken ribs, traveling across the US, getting stiffed by promoters, helping shine a light on talent I believe in that aren't getting recognized, doing little things I won't mention to give back to both wrestling and individual wrestlers, and I'm the a--hole? Wrestling is for the people and by the people. I may have grown up in Hollywood, but I'm not some stuck up punk. I had an opportunity to be a part of WCW when I was in my 20's to travel with some of my heroes in the ring and I took it. I'm done apologizing. Now I just want to kick some ass, so any of you b------ have a problem with me I'll see you in Tennessee or wherever I'm wrestling and we can settle it like men."

Arquette later said in a statementhis lack of experience caused problems near the finish and confirmed deathmatches wouldn't be in his future.
The former WCW Champion gave his side of the story to Sports Illustrated:
"It went off the rails a little," Arquette admitted. "I was pretty pissed. I was at fault for it. Once I got cut, some things happened in the ring, and I reacted. We were both at fault for the neck cut, but me defending myself is how it actually happened. I was in the hospital and had to have surgery to sew up my muscle and clean up my wound. It is what it is. I have no hard feelings with Nick Gage and I hope he doesn't have any with me."
Part Of ANOTHER WWE "Hidden Gem" Already Available On YouTube (shakes head, again)
Paul Jordan at PWInsider reported this and the screenshots? Say it all, as usual.
Above is from Jordan's post today, and lookey lookey, look what can be found with one simple search.
Damn, that has to sting, eh? Hype a whole show and one of the main matches has already been available on YouTube for acouple years now?
You'd think WWE would learn by now but as you can see.. NOPE! So as long as they want to be ignorant and stupid like this? I'll continue to get over on them easily with examples like this.

FANS WALK OUT BEFORE WWE CHRISTMAS EVE RAW TAPINGS (LOL, Love Being Proven Right)
Fans leaving proved EVERYTHING I said in my earlier article, and my video rant.. ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! LMAO! proof like that is a mother fucker and yes I AM enjoying the fact i was right, very much. :)
RAW was live in Sacremento on Monday night, but they also had a pretty exciting show after the show for the live audience. The only problem was that some people didn’t want to stick around.
WWE filmed the Christmas Eve episode of RAW after the live show ended earlier tonight.
Apparently, a “good chunk” of fans decided not to stick around to see the Christmas Eve episode of RAW even though they were essentially getting two shows with the same ticket.Therefore, don’t be surprised if you see some clever camera tricks next week on RAW as they attempt to shoot around the empty seats.

Video Rant on "Vince McMahon Announcement". (WWE Proved Me Right, Again. Imagine That)
This is based on the article i posted here earlier tonight, and the announcement I made that I was going to tune into RAW for the first time.... In a LONG time. Lord was it a FUCKING, waste of time.
https://youtu.be/pNjvP3UatQA
https://youtu.be/pNjvP3UatQA
Thoughts/Opinions On Couple Things I Wanted To Air Out (Mostly WWE)
Some random thoughts and opinions I've
decided to churn out of my system since I've been asked certain
things, or just some shit has been nagging to be talked about.
Besides how many other wrestling sites or writers would dare say the
things I do? I'll give you hint, none really.
Someone asked me, “What would it take
to get you to watch WWE shows on a regular basis again”?
A fucking miracle.
Now the many people who have known me
for years will be cracking up laughing at that reply, because they
know that's exactly my sentiment for that company's shows. They need
a miracle and it's been shown time and again that Vince McMahon,
doesn't want fans like me anymore interested in his programming. I
used to watch it, hell one of my go to things from that company was
when Ricky Steamboat faced Magnificent Muraco and he and Mr. Fuji
'hung' Steamboat with a belt. Adrian Adonis and Dick Murdoch as a
tag team there is another. Flair when he showed up there wearing the
NWA World Title belt was a shocker nobody saw coming. But then? We
started getting Dusty Rhodes wearing polka dots, Dick Slater as “The
Rebel”, you see how this is starting to go down hill?
Plus look at how they've fucked up when
they golden eggs that would've maintained interest for a long time to
come, But because WWE has no damn clue on how to properly promote
something they never created to begin with, They fumbled stumbled and
fell on their face with having the NWA, ECW and WCW invasion angles.
One look on Youtube, SMW vs USWA or even ECW vs USWA are proper
examples of how invasion angles are done.
Which brings me to another question
I've been asked quite a bit recently. “If you were in charge of WWE
what would you do”?
Now my answer nearly ALWAYS pisses off
the Fanboys and fanatics of WWE, but fans of other promotions see
what I'm talking about. If I had total control, to do whatever I
wanted to do with absolutely NO INTERFERENCE? Figuratively light a
stick of dynamite, blow the shit up and start again from scratch.
Scripted promos? Thrown out the window.
Non Wrestling writers? Told to hit the bricks. All the goofy dumb
assed cookie cutter gimmicks and story lines that aren't getting
over? Put in a dumpster and set on fire. Because the bottom line is
you don't need members of the owner's family out there taking up
space and time that could be better utilized for actual wrestling
talent. Cut RAW down to two hours, hell even one hour and simplify a
lot of the micromanaged things that are too micromanaged to begin
with. Contrary to what Dave Scherer of PWInsider said in an answer to
a question sent in to him (more on that, in a minute) You CAN, write
and book a straight ahead wrestling show with simple angles and story
lines, created by guys who KNOW what gets over. You get guys like
Michael Hayes, Arn Anderson (ESPECIALLY Arn Anderson), Dibiase,
Rotunda and you book it simply. No stupid skits where a forklift
turns over a car, or a cement truck fills the owner's Corvette with
cement, you don't NEED that kind of wasteful crap to get over a
product if you book it simply and solidly.
Even if the company doesn't work with
other wrestling companies, you can 'acknowledge' them with an
interviewer asking “What brought you here to the WWE”? “I've
wrestled around the world and it's HERE, in the WWE where I hear the
toughest competition is and so I've come here to prove myself and
rise to the top here.. Seth Rollins (using his name as an example)
may THINK he's the best but when he faces me in the ring? He's going
to know why I... Am the best and if anyone else has a problem with
that? I'll be in the ring in two minutes, I dare someone to come out
and say something”.
So simple but for some reason in the
WWE, SSOO challenging.
Let the talent develop their own or
utilize their own mic skills. Bullet points go a LONG WAY, so just
give the bullet points. “This is your match, this is your opponent,
go”. And allow the talent to get the angle or reason for the match
over. How fucking hard is that to accomplish? If by some chance the
guy doesn't have strong mic skills? Then you get a Truth Martini, or
a James Mitchell or a Beau James, who DO have strong mic skills to be
the manager, and let THEM utilize their promo talents to get the
thing over. I know for a fact when the WWF's training Dojo was
headlining WWA New England shows back in 1998 the members of those
Dojos weren't having their promos written word for word for them
there. I know this because I worked for WWA New England back then and
had ALOT of access to watch the Dojos in action before fans were
allowed in. While my friends Dave, Kevin and his son left to go eat
somewhere after we helped set up chairs, tables, ring, etc. I was the
one who stayed behind, sat in one of those chairs and watched,
intently. I watched and I asked questions. I asked Tom Pritchard,
Bruce Pritchard and Dory Funk jr. (as well as Cornette when he
worked the Dojos as well) TONS of questions. They never got tired of
me asking and Tom actually appreciated the fact I did ask what I
asked. If you're gonna get smartened up, get smartened up all the way
if you can and who better to do that than guys who know the shit. So
not once ever, was a promo scripted for a WWF Dojo member on a WWA
New England show. THEY, were allowed to utilize and develop their own
mic skills. What a hell of a concept, eh?
Now Dave Scherer said (and I wish I
still had that screen shot so I could post it as proof), that and
I'll pretty much quote it, “A straight ahead wrestling show in my
opinion can't be done now”.
RREAALLYY NOW, Is TTHHAATT a fact.. It
“Can't be done” BUT.. AMW, Reality Of Wrestling, Defiant
Wrestling, OTT Wrestling, PROGRESS Wrestling, WWA In Kentucky,
Supreme Wrestling in Indiana, MEW in the UK, West Coast Wrestling
Connection, World Underground Wrestling, ECPW, Bert Prentice's USA
Championship Wrestling, The USACW in West Virginia, and I can go on
and on listing other companies, DO IT ALL THE TIME!? Explain the
logic of “can't be done” when the listed companies have been
doing it for a long time now? Obviously Scherer again has shown he
doesn't really know what the fuck, he's talking about if he can say
that, and I can show example after example of how wrong he is on it.
Bottom line is, it can be done but
companies like WWE and Impact Wrestling for some reason, it's too
much of a challenge for them.
I'll be writing another article for the
Australian based Feed The Gorilla Fanzine. It'll be an article on the
late Dale Pierce, who was well known in many Indy companies in
Arizona, California, Ohio and Washington state. It'll be an
interesting piece on an interesting individual that I had the honor
of knowing personally, and getting a lot of insightful advice from,
some of which I still use to this day.
As I posted earlier, I'll be watching
RAW tonight for the first time in a LONG LONG time. WHY would I
bother to waste my time like this, KNOWING how much that product
sucks ass? More to prove my point home that no matter what they do,
especially with this “Vince McMahon announcement” won't be enough
to maintain my interest. I'm pretty much guaranteeing I'll be
grabbing my remote and changing the channel over to Football. Not
even Houdini can perform enough magic tricks to get RAW good enough
to watch all the way thru. I won't have to 'look for' a reason to
change the channel because of how they present their shit product?
The reasons will come and I won't have to look for them.
That's about the one thing they are
consistent in doing well, presenting a shit product that has a long
time fan like myself? Always looking for something better than them
to watch. Sad, but that's just.. The way it is and it's on them and
their failure to present something entertaining. Some day they might
get it right again, but I'm sure, it won't be tonight, LOL!

MLW Notes
There will be a MLW marathon on BeIN Sports on 12/31 starting at 6 AM.
BeIN Sports had a camera crew following Tony Schiavone, documenting his return to broadcast on live TV for the first time since WCW went out of business in 2001. The documentary should debut fairly soon on the cable network.
The ladder match last week was apparently cursed. MJF was yanked after suffering a fractured elbow. Andrew Everett was pulled from it after tweaking his knee at the TV taping the night before as he felt it pop, so he was yanked in order to make sure he wasn't in a situation that could be dangerous to his health. Then, Kotto Brazil twisted his ankle at the first night of TV as well and was pulled as a precautionary move. THEN, in the first spot of the match, Teddy Hart hit the edge of the steps from the entrance stage and there was concern he might have been injured as well, but was OK.
Speaking of MJF, he posted the following update on his social media: "Did moderate to heavy push/pull workouts for the first time since I broke my elbow. Starting to feel like myself again my mobility is coming back and I feel in a week from now I should have full functionality of my arm. More importantly however a fan just walked up to me at the gym and told me he was a huge fan so I looked dead at him laughed in his face and walked away. It’s been a good day."
Davey Boy Smith, who just got back from a month in Japan and was fresh off of 20 hour flight, worked the show very sick with a huge fever as he didn't want to miss the tapings. He really gutted through the show and we heard from a few people who were impressed with his toughness.
Tom Lawlor was slated to do a quick match with Simon Gotch for their No Holds Barred fight as he's still getting over a crushed knuckle from his recent MMA fight on the undercard of Tito Ortiz vs. Chuck Liddell. Lawlor argued that he could go longer and MLW management gave him what he was wanted. There were a lot of people impressed with his toughess.
TV Azteca, one of the major networks out of Mexico, was at the MLW events in Miami, filming.

Discussions are underway to potentially bring MLW: Fusion TV to Europe.
I Know THIS Is Going To Be A Waste Of Fucking Time, BUT This Is What I'm Gonna Do Tonight
I'm Gonna watch RAW for the first time in a LONG LONG time tonight. Just to see if McMahon's 'announcement' can hold my attention, or if I grab the remote and change the channel right away. How much you want to bet the latter happens?

Bully Ray On Why WWE Will Never Let Stars Get As Big As John Cena, What Vince McMahon Once Told Him
Recently on The Jim Ross Report, WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross spoke with his fellow WWE Hall Of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley, also known as Bully Ray. Among many other things, Bully talked about why he thinks WWE will never again let any WWE Superstar become as famous as multiple-time world champion John Cena. Also, Ross shared that WWE could see some changes in its braintrust with the relaunch of the XFL coming soon.
In Bully's view, WWE no longer allows performers its braintrust did not envision at the top to reach the proverbial brass ring. Moreover, Bully suggested that a talent can no longer get himself over in the way pro wrestling great Steve Austin did with his memorable 'Austin 3:16' promo.
"[Ross] know[s] damn well that you don't go to the top of the mountain and stay at the top of the mountain unless you are chosen to be at the top of the mountain," Bully declared. "And that's not the way it was. One of [Ross's] best friends in the [pro] wrestling business and in real life is a guy named 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. He was told to never talk. What would've happened if he never grabbed that microphone and never would have said, Austin 3:16 means I just whooped your ass'? Now, back then, it worked. Now, if you're not told to say something like that, how can you ever get to the top of the mountain?"
According to Bully, WWE will never let a talent get as big as Cena ever again.
"Seth Rollins has done it all and can do it all. But how come Seth Rollins is not at Cena level? How come he's not at Rock level? How come he's not at Austin level? It's because I don't think they will ever allow anyone to get to that level again." Bully explained, "if you take the three biggest stars over the last 20-some-odd years, would you say that Cena, Austin, and The Rock are the three biggest ones? Okay, so those three guys in their own way do what they wanted to do without Vince's approval. Listen, Steve was able to walk out and still come back and have a job. [Ross] helped out a lot, but not a lot of people walk out and come back in the next day. Rocky was able to walk away and become the biggest star in Hollywood. And John, my God! He just won the Muhammad Ali Award. He [has] granted more wishes than anybody on the planet. I mean, he walks on water when it comes to the WWE. And he was able to tell Vince, 'I'm not [going to Saudi Arabia].' I don't think they're ever going to let anybody get to that level again where they have control or say."
During the interview, Bully shared that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon once told him that it is rare for a performer to have leverage on WWE and shame on them if they do not use it. This interaction clearly informed Bully opinion of WWE's refusal to let any performer get too much leverage on the company.
"I learned a very important lesson from Vince McMahon one day, JR, that he taught me one-on-one. I don't remember the arena we were in, but we were in a hallway and he said, 'Bubba, it's very rare that the boys have leverage on me, but when they do have leverage on me and they don't use it, shame on them.' What a lesson to learn from Vince McMahon and I apply that lesson to what's going on in the WWE today. They're creating their stars, they're letting their stars get as big as they possibly want them to be, but then there's a ceiling. And I think Roman [Reigns] is at the top of that ceiling. I think Ronda [Rousey] is at the top of that ceiling. I think Charlotte is at the top of that ceiling. I'm not sure who will ever get passed that."
Also of note, Ross suggested that 2019 may see a change in WWE where McMahon gets more involved with the XFL and less involved with WWE creative.
"I think when the XFL comes, he's going to spend so much time with the new toy, the new business venture," Ross said. "It's his business venture too, by the way - his company, his new company, so I think maybe, there may be a transition period in 2019 that sees him more involved in the football and maybe a little bit less involved in the wrestling creative."
Vince McMahon Reportedly "Furious" With Top WWE TLC Match
Well if he IS furious then he should look in the mirror and be furious with himself. because it was He HIMSELF, that gave the okay and had it written/booked/ whatever. The fans chanting "This is boring" sent a clear message. But of course McMahon will try and either deflect it or ifnore it. But if he's furious then he should be mad at himself because in the end, all the calls for whatever happens there, lay on him. So it's all on him whether he likes it or not.
One of the biggest surprises at last night's WWE TLC pay-per-view was the poor reaction to the Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose Intercontinental title match. In a match that went 24 minutes, Ambrose defeated Rollins clean with the Dirty Deeds. During the match, fans chanted "this is boring" and "Becky."
The fans were reportedly not the only ones upset with the match. Dave Meltzer noted on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that Vince McMahon "was furious" with it.
It's not known if the feud will continue, however the current plan is reportedly for Rollins to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35. Before that, Lesnar will defend the WWE Universal Championship against Braun Strowman at The Royal Rumble in January.

Mat Memory- IWCCW - Tito Santana vs. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine
Tito Santana and Greg Valentine continue their wars from the WWF on the Independent circuit! This appears to be taped in the early months of 1995, which seems amazing that the IWCCW/ICW was still taping shows at that point. Tito Santana is the reigning Heavyweight Champion, and waves the DQ/Count-Out rule on title defenses... will that become a factor in the result? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztr_yhbNHqc

Shane Douglas Gives The NWA A One Year Report Card As Dean Douglas(I Disagree With his Opinion)
Considering where and what Douglas is doing now in Wrestling (Which isn't much) and the NWA owned by Billy Corgan HAS become a great success, Shane Douglas is the last one to say shit, about anything at this point. When HE, can do better? Then, he can talk. And go ahead and tell him i said that if you want. he won't say anything back, that's for sure.
In episode #75 of his Triple Threat Podcast, The Franchise Shane Douglas goes back in time to an episode of his show from last year as the Billy Corgan led NWA was poised to make a comeback. In December 2017, NWA camera-crews were in Philadelphia filming for their web series when they asked The Franchise to participate in an on-camera interview. When Shane declined they sneakily filmed him while taking a shot at him in the voice over. Well here we are one year later and it is time for The Franchise to officially give the NWA a grade after their first year under new management. Stay tuned to the end of the podcast as the inevitable and classic Franchise shoot is in full effect. The full episode can be downloaded at this link.
Does Shane feel there is any buzz for the NWA:
"I was talking to somebody the other day as we were bs'ing at the ICONS convention. I haven't heard anyone talking about TNA, Ring of Honor and even NXT. It is like we've talked about Ad nauseam about the numbers drop in the business. I think that is probably the big part about what is at play here because you guys remember when you were younger that every week the water cooler talk was did you see what happened on RAW or Smackdown or Nitro or Thunder or ECW or something but you were talking wrestling. When I would walk through the Pittsburgh airport I'd have people yelling across the TSA at me to kick Taz's ass or Taz was going to kick my ass but it was always something and I haven't heard anything wrestling at the Pittsburgh airport in years. There wasn't one fan that came up at the ICONS convention and said did you catch Ring of Honor or did you catch NWA or did you catch NXT and not even have you seen WWE. The only discussion about wrestling was what had transpired in that building (ECW Arena) in ECW twenty years prior."

"I haven't had anybody bring the NWA up to me or evoke in any discussion on Twitter or any of the social medias, not on Facebook, not in person and which I think is not a good reflection on where our industry sits especially for those non WWE companies."
The "Dean Doulgas" grade for the NWA over the last year:
"Definition: Failure. I give the NWA over its performance from the last year a grade of MF. Miserable failure. I did that to Vince the very last time I performed as the Dean. Blackjack Lanza was my agent and we were in Erie, PA and Vince kept throwing down over the IFB asking what grade will I give and Blackjack keeps giving me a look. So Vince is panicking and we go live to tape and we have no way to correct it and when we get to the point of giving a grade and after a long pause I say MF (in the Franchise laugh). You hear Vince saying what is he going to say, what is he going to say and get ready to cut his mic and I wanted to mother f*ck so bad and it was right there but I thought I'd just take my ball and go home and give it the old miserable failure. You could almost hear Vince sigh relief over the IFB. But I would say that I will re-invoke the MF "miserable failure" thus far for the NWA."

Jay Lethal Discusses How ROH Deals With Talent Leaving For WWE
ROH World Champion Jay Lethal spoke with TVInsider to discuss re-signing with ROH, Ring of Honor being able to rebuild when stars leave, and Jonathan Gresham. Here are some of the highlights:
The decision to re-sign with ROH:
"I'm sure every wrestler on our roster would say this, but I love Ring of Honor. The company has given me so much. The company is putting all their stock in me to represent them both in and out of the ring. They did that two times. When I have an idea about wrestling, they seem to stop everything to listen to my idea. Even if they don't use my idea, the fact they stop everything to listen to really ponder about it. Nine times out of ten they do allow me to run with my ideas. There is nothing better than that. I think it's a dream situation for every wrestler.
"I also think it's how you see what a wrestler can do. When a wrestler comes up with an idea and you allow them to run with it, they are going to try and put their heart and soul into the idea. That's because it came from them and they want to prove they has good ideas. That's what you get to see what a wrestler is made of. So, re-signing was one of the easiest decisions I've ever made in my life."
ROH rebuilding once their stars leave the promotion:
"Think about how many times Ring of Honor has gone through a rebuilding phase. It seems like they never exit that. With Ring of Honor becoming a destination for other wrestlers to come to, it's not an independent promotion anymore. It's a destination spot for wrestlers all over the world. Think about all the people who have come through. Many of them have become champions in other companies. Think about if you ran a promotion, how do you pick up and carry on after you lose an AJ Styles or a Samoa Joe? How do you pick up and go on after you lose a Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, or Adam Cole? You just do it.
"You don't try to replace those guys, but pick up and move on because those guys are irreplaceable. The winning formula is you don't try to replace them. You just have to pick up and move on and add another piece to the end of the puzzle … It's going to hurt and impact us a lot. Most of these guys were in the main event. It's going to be a hit, but we are going to do what Ring of Honor always does and carry on. We always produce one of the best wrestling products out there."
Jonathan Gresham's talent:
"If I have done anything to make more people see how good a wrestler Jonathan Gresham, then I am more than happy with that. I like to think we are all on the same field trying to live our dream and be the best we possibly can and help the company along the way. Some of the newer guys like Jonathan Gresham is so smooth and one of the greatest wrestlers I've seen in my life. Anything I can do to help people realize that I'm down for. I'm also a big fan a big fan of Will Ferrara. He has yet to have that breakout moment. He hasn't had that moment. Hopefully, it happens soon.
