WWE Edits Triple H's Shots At All Elite Wrestling

Why edit it out? Scared they'll get slammed back and be put in check? He already said what he did and no amount of editing will be able to erase that fact. 

Triple H's comments on All Elite Wrestling were edited out of the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony replay, including the one-hour USA Network special that aired last Monday and this Monday.

As noted before, Triple H took shots at AEW during the induction for DX earlier this month. While joking around about being corporate now, The Game said apparently these days if you put the "EVP" title in front of someone, it makes them feel important. AEW's Executive Vice Presidents include Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks.
Triple H then called AEW a "piss-ant" company after DX joked around about not being able to name Vince McMahon during their speech. Billy Gunn said Vince couldn't fire him anymore, a reference to Gunn working for AEW. The Gunn joke led to fans in the audience doing an "AEW" chant. Triple H responded, "Billy, let's be honest. He would buy that piss-ant company just to fire you again."
Everyone laughed at that reference and another line from WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels. When joking about always counting on Gunn to under-deliver, Michaels said, "You can always count on 'ol Billy Gunn to over-promise and under-deliver. We thank you for being out here and being 'All In'."
The replay of the speech ended with Gunn joking about Vince not being able to fire him now. you can hear Triple H's "piss-ant" line below:


BRIAN CHRISTOPHER TBI INVESTIGATION CONCLUDES

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation confirmed toseveralo sources that they have concluded their investigation in the July 2018 death of former WWE star Brian "Christopher" Lawler last year while incarcerated following an arrest for DUI.
"Our investigation has concluded and all findings have been turned over to District Attorney General Mark Davidson.  I will have to refer any questions to his office," TBI's Keli McAlister told different outlets.  inquries to Davidson's office by various news sources have not yet received a replay.

Attorneys representing Jerry Lawler and the estate of his son Brian Lawler filing subpoenas demanding the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and The Hardeman County Sheriff's Office provide them with information on the ongoing investigation into Brian passing back in Janauary  The TBI investigation was opened the same day Lawler passed away after being taken off life support after he allegedly hung himself while incarcerated in Bolivar, TN. 

“We were tired of waiting. This family has waited for over six months for the Hardeman County Sheriff Department to provide them with detailed explanation and the documentation as to what happened to their son and we decided to take the into our own hands,” Attorney Jeff Rosenblum told Memphis ABC affiliate channel 24 back in January.

In August 2018, Jerry Lawler explained why he did not believe his son killed himself in an interview with WMC-TV, explaining that his family was told that Brian hung himself with his shoelaces, but photos taken of Brian at the hospital show marks on the sides of his neck but not the front of his throat.  Lawler explained that the area that did not feature any marks would be the size of his son’s hand, which leads him to believe Brian was trying to use his hand to try and “keep the pressure” off his throat.

"We've received literally countless calls, text messages from people, actual eyewitnesses, that were in the jail and saw things that happened on the actual day that Brian died that now has opened up a new can of worms," Lawler told WMC-TV in January. "It just doesn't seem like it was suicide."

Lawler said the same day his son allegedly took his life, they had spoken that morning via the telephone at 11 AM and Brian “talked perfectly normal, perfectly rational."   Later, Lawler's fiancée received a phone call around 2 PM informing them Brian had been in a fight with another inmate, even though he was supposed to have been kept away from other prisoners.  Lawler stated that his son had requested medical attention as he was bleeding from the head but “apparently” did not receive it and several hours later, was found dead in his cell.  Lawler stated that the Sheriff had previously given him personal assurances that Brian would be OK while incarcerated. Lawler also alleged that twenty security cameras in the County Jail were not operating the day his son died.

While the official, announced cause of Brian Lawler's death is suicide by hanging, Jerry Lawler commented that “doesn't pass the smell test” and promised in 2018 that he was not going to stop pursuing the issue until he had answers.  Lawler also stated that Brian's fellow inmates have told him they don't think his death was suicide, and there's still no medical examiner's report.

The TBI and The Hardeman's Sherriff's office were told in January they needed to provide information to the Lawler family and estate by February 26th.

With the investigation turned over to the District Attorney's office, there is no word if or when the findings of the investigation will be made public.  

LUKE HARPER REQUESTS WWE RELEASE

Former WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champion Luke Harper disclosed via Twitter this afternoon that he has requested a release from World Wrestling Entertainment.

His complete tweet reads:

"As of this evening, I have requested a release from WWE.  The past 6 years have been a simply, amazing journey around the world and back with lifelong friends and family.  I am proud of it all and proud to say I shared the ring with my co-workers.
This decision, as difficult as it was, feels right for myself and WWE.   My goal in the future is to continue to grow as a performer and person and continue to make my family proud.
Thank you. From the top to the bottom of WWE.  Thank you to the fans for your undying support. Thank you everyone."

Women Of Honor Star Is Now A Free Agent

On her social media accounts, Tenille Dashwood announced she is now a free agent, writing "Free agent. Happy, healthy, & healed." Dashwood's ROH contract ended this month and it's unclear at the moment if she'll be re-signing with the promotion. Dashwood was initially placed in the Lifeblood stable, so it remains to be seen if that connection will continue or not.
Dashwood has been out of action for the past six months after undergoing shoulder surgery for dislocated and torn labrum. The former WWE Star also dealt with a full body flare up from the autoimmune disease, psoriasis.
Back in January, Dashwood commented about her health.
"Sometimes you really do have to take a step backwards (or many) to move forwards! I've spent the past few months focusing on being happy and healthy! I spent time with my family and friends and traveled. These things make me happy! I've rehabbed my shoulder diligently & implemented new eating habits (with a few exceptions over the holidays) to get my skin condition (psoriasis) & health better. Now look at me! Almost fully healed through diet!"

TALENTS CONFIRMED FOR THIS WEEK'S AAA PRESS CONFERENCE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN

Blue Demon Jr., Konnan, Pentagón Jr., Rey Fénix, Drago, Aerostar, Puma King, Taya Valkyrie and Daga are scheduled for this Thursday's AAA press conference this Thursday 4/4 at Madison Square Garden.  We are told that additional talents will also be appearing.

A press advisory issued regarding the conference noted AAA was coming to the United States in September 2019 and that the conference would include an opportunity for "AAA’s top executive [to] share his vision for Lucha Libre’s next chapter."

One would expect this press conference would reveal a debut date for AAA running MSG later in the year, potentially in partnership with All Elite Wrestling.

AAA ran the Theater in Madison Square Garden (now known as the Hulu Theater) in July 1994, headlined by Konnan & Cien Caras & Perro Aguayo vs. Eddie Guerrero & Art Barr & Jake Roberts.

The Absolute Truth About Pro Wrestling (Full feature-length documentary, Part 1)

You know that wresting is fake, right?” That’s the first thing any wrestling fan hears when sharing a passion for the mat wars with someone who just doesn’t get it. In 2004, filmmaker Mark Ezovski set out to address this question once and for all. In “The Absolute Truth About Pro Wrestling,” two-time WWE tag team champ and Hall of Famer “Luscious” Johnny Valiant, fetish wrestler, dominatrix and pro wrestler “Empress Asia” Sky Hosoya and “Professor” Larry Brisco—a Ph.D-wielding wrestler with an appreciation for the Old School—expose the business and show you just how real life in the squared circle can be. "The Absolute Truth" has been called "a visual love poem to pro wrestling" and "the best documentary ever made about wrestling."

We learned a little more in the EVOLVE 122 Recap but were taken aback by Anthony’s attire and actions at EVOLVE 124. This EVOLVE Mini-Doc by Kenny Johnson shows Anthony Henry’s actions may be even more deep seated. After getting himself disqualified at EVOLVE 124, Henry will face Allin again at EVOLVE 125 and there must be a winner!

Here's Precisely WHY... Impact Booked Allie To Die Was Dumb As Fuck

You have the above pic which shows what I said yesterday about how stupid it was, period. As well as how Callis is booking the very silliness he said he was gonna get rid of.

And here's the most blatant reason that proves what I said to be correct.

At last night's RISE Legendary event, Kylie Rae defeated Mercedes Martinez for the Phoenix of RISE Championship.
After the match she was challenged by Zoe Lucas and attacked by another group of wrestlers. Brandi Rhodes, Britt Baker, and Nyla Rose would come out to make the save for Rae. The group would also be joined in the ring by fellow AEW wrestlers, Allie (aka Cherry Bomb) and Penelope Ford, to close out the show.

Here's the video.

https://twitter.com/MikeDurband/status/1111998948976279552

Some things are just so easy to prove and nice to be proven right. Can't Kill off a talent and not think she's gonna show up the next night somewhere else, LOL. Especially in this day and age, it doesn't work or even come close to convincing anymore.

AEW Star Shows WWE Rejection Letter From 2015



On Twitter, Gargano reflected on when he received his rejection e-mail from WWE after a tryout in 2015 and how the fans helped get him to where he is now.


"I still have my rejection email from my WWE tryout back in 2015. I look at it from time to time to remind myself how far I've come and why any of this happened to begin with. I didn't take 'no' for an answer. I fought for a chance. But I couldn't do this by myself. ... It didn't matter if it was a dark match in Full Sail or my 1st TakeOver at the Barclays Center. You chanted "Johnny Wrestling." You believed in me and they listened. We fought together to make any of this happen. We will fight to make one last dream come true in New York."

AEW Star Chuckie T responded to Gargano that he also still has his rejection letter from Canyon Ceman (Senior Director of Talent Development for WWE) and showed a photo of it.

"I hope you are well. I wanted to follow-up per our conversation at the end of your tryout. WWE does not have an opportunity for you in our developmental system. Future opportunities may be available in the form of a 'Rhyno' type loop/shot, as the NXT TV and touring brand evolves. Please keep me updated on your contract status, so we know if you are available for such opportunities. Thanks again for your effort and professionalism at the tryout, it was noticed and appreciated. Regards, Canyon Ceman"

Chuckie T responded with a "sad face."

Update On Jimmy Uso's Criminal Charges From Recent Arrest

SmackDown Tag Team Champion Jimmy Uso just caught a big break in his Detroit, Michigan criminal case after he and his lawyer, John Freeman, landed a deal with prosecutors, according to TMZ.
Instead of facing possible jail time from charges of disorderly conduct and obstruction of justice, Uso is pleading no contest to a charge of interfering with a government employee. He was ordered to pay $450 in fine and the case is now closed.

Sting Pulled From Wrestlecon

Sting has been announced as signing for Wrestlemania AXXESS on Sunday, which led to the vendor bringing in Sting at Wrestlecon canceling his appearance..  Fans who pre-paid for autographs and photo-ops at Wrestlecon have received refunds already.  Wrestlecon is trying to step in and work out Sting appearing at another time next weekend but nothing has been locked in.   It should be interesting to see if WWE requires any other talents who are scheduled for Wrestlecon to be pulled from the event. 

Wrestlecon is among a number of entities having issues locking in venue in the Tampa area as WWE already has agreements locked in via their partnership with the city preventing competing pro wrestling events in certain venues in that market over Wrestlemania 36 week.   WWN will obviously be running and will have no issues due to their relationship with WWE.  We are told that Game Changer Wrestling has locked in Tampa plans.  Everyone else is still up in the air

Kenny Omega spoke about a variety of topics with “The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling” about his documentary, “Omega Man: A Wrestling Love Story” set to premiere on TSN in Canada on Mar 27. This documentary was filmed with the idea of showing what the life of Kenny Omega is really like, spending his time living in Japan as well as chronicling matches in the United States. In addition to details about the documentary, they look into the last few months of Kenny Omega and his signing with AEW, what matches could be on the horizon for him, contract details, and what is next for the “Best Bout Machine.” 

•The story behind the documentary’s conception: “This whole thing came about a year and change ago. I received my first email from the producers and director and they had asked if I would be so kind as to let them into my life and follow me a day in the life of Kenny Omega in Japan. I thought maybe this was going to be a foreigner trying to make it in Japan and I had my reservations about it at first because I have a certain way that I live my life in Japan, the way I prepare for my big matches and I was worried that having a film crew kind of buzzing around me at all times was going to sort of interrupt my zen, so I actually turned them down at first. It wasn’t until they responded much later with a very nice email and kind of going into depth as to why they selected me as a topic of discussion, I had seen that there was a lot of passion behind this project and that these people were familiar with my career and were very interested in telling my story. Of course they didn’t know at the time what that story would be, they just wanted to see what it was like in Japan and what my career was all about and I suppose in the end it has become the wrestling love story because the sort of reunion with Kota Ibushi was a very big deal for me in the year of 2018 and it was a very storied and a storied event between the two of us that ran the course of over ten years. So to have all that documented in this film is and I don’t know because I haven’t seen it yet, a pretty cool thing.”
•On not viewing the finished product before the premiere: “Truth be told, I’m a shy person and to me for lack of a better term it is a little embarrassing. I feel (I don’t know) strange to be the subject of a documentary. I’m used to wrestling camera crews following me, I’m used to wrestling style documentaries being aired on wrestling programs and wrestling streaming services but never a documentary that is a stand-alone documentary from people that don’t have experience in wrestling to kind of tell the story from an outsider perspective on wrestling. So, I was kind of scared to watch it and I didn’t think I would but now that sort of the preliminary reviews are coming in and generally they are all positive I might sit down and watch it because maybe there is nothing to be embarrassed about.”
Did his AEW contract prevent him from facing Okada at G1 Supercard: “I have zero restrictions on what I do as long as I feel it is in my best creative interests I am open to doing anything. But of course it has got to be a two way street and it takes two to tango and it is about timing. I was fully prepared for the epic showdown at Madison Square Garden and I thought it would have been a very cool match to have Okada / Omega at MSG and not because of the building. A building name or a location doesn’t really mean much to me. I have no emotional connection to Madison Square Garden and I know it is regarded as the mecca of Sports Entertainment in terms of a building but I just wanted to have that match on American soil just once. We sort of were able to show a little bit of our chemistry in America in the tag match we had (Myself and Ibushi vs. Okada and Ishii) and it felt good and it felt really fun and timing wise business is business and things didn’t work out the way that I had anticipated and we are not going to get it at Madison Square Garden. But that doesn’t mean that the story is over and the book is closed. We both are going to be very active in professional wrestling for a number of years I would assume and I think that if there is another opportunity for it and who knows it may be better to just wait it out and get that 5th match somewhere else down the line.”
•The ease of putting together a five star match: “It is a lot of pressure and, of course, it takes two to tango, but ironically when I use the word tango I can relate it to and liken it to perhaps ballroom dancing. Where the best dancers in the world can dance in sync with any partners that are professionally trained. Their body responds to every twitch of the muscle fiber and it almost becomes an animalistic response and it becomes reaction and becomes instinct and whether I’ve always had that or not I am not sure but I realized I had this skill in 2016 at the G1 in my first run in the G1. That was perhaps the way I wanted to approach my story telling plus the passion that I had and the pride that I had with my own performances were various components in a gigantic witches brew that allowed me to really evolve myself as a performer and once I made that gigantic evolutionary step I sort of felt that I unlocked the secret to I guess you could call it the five star match. Without sounding too egotistical, a five star match to me is kind of an easy thing to do with almost anybody. The only time I would falter in my quest to have a five star match was when I really go out of my way to try something absolutely new or something that I am unfamiliar with or 100 percent comfortable with because I could rehash and recycle the same old formula because I know what works, but if I start doing that than I’ll stop growing and I don’t feel that I am finished yet in my process or evolution. So, I am still going to get a little frisky and I am still going to try new things, but if someone had a gun to my head and said have a five star match with this guy, it is kind of light work at this point and pretty easy stuff.”

•On whether he has any WWE interest at all: “Right now no. Zero. Absolutely not. I am 100 percent focused on what we are doing with AEW and my interest starts and ends with just hoping the best for my friends that are there and I hope they do well, I know WrestleMania is coming up and it is a big show for them and I hope everyone kills it. If everyone is doing well than the industry does well and that is about it. Of course and I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again I just wait for the fantasy world which may or may not happen where we’ll work together someday.”

Superstar Billy Graham Says Kofi Kingston Going To WrestleMania Is A "Joke"

On last night's SmackDownBig E and Xavier Woods of The New Day were able to win a Tag Team Gauntlet Match that gave Kofi Kingston an opportunity against WWE Champion Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania. After the match, Kofi celebrated with his teammates and a good chunk of the SmackDown roster surrounded the ring to cheer on Kingston's accomplishment.
One individual who does not have "Kofimania" is WWE Hall of Famer "Superstar" Billy Graham who posted on his Facebook about Kingston getting a title shot. Graham was not thrilled about a "145 pound WWE Champion" and called the whole thing a "joke." Below is his full post.


MORE DETAILS ON WHAT LED TO ARREST WARRANT BEING ISSUED FOR TAMMY SYTCH, HEARING SET FOR NEXT MONTH IN PA

WWE Hall of Famer Tammy "Sunny" Sytch is scheduled for a hearing regarding the potential revocation of her October 2018 parole on Friday 4/5 before Judge Joseph Matika in Carbon County Court in Pennsylvania.  As I and others reported several weeks back, Sytch was extradited from Monmouth County Corrections in Freehold, New Jersey, where she had been held since a 2/23 arrest in New Jersey and transferred back to the Carbon County Correctional Facility on 3/20.
As was reported by many outlets , a bench warrant was issued for Sytch's arrest in the State of Pennsylvania on 2/15.  That same day, the Carbon County Probation Department filed a motion to revoke Sytch's October 2018 parole.   NJ.com reported yesterday that Sytch also missed a scheduled drug test on 2/11, failed to report as directed to her parole officer in PA and failed to maintain a stable residence or report her whereabouts.  Sytch had been living in New Jersey.  Court records also indicate that while Sytch made restitution payments of $120 in the months of October and November 2018 as part of an agreed upon payment plan, she had not made any additional payments since that time.

Beyond her court hearing on 4/5, Sytch has another issue to deal with.  Her attorney, Matthew Glenn Schnell, filed a motion on 3/26 to withdraw as her counsel, which if approved, would mean Sytch would need to hire a new lawyer or use a court-appointed one.

Sytch's most recent arrest was Saturday 2/23 when she was pulled over at 6:30 PM on Dupont Avenue in Seaside Heights, NJ by authorities and arrested for driving while intoxicated, the sixth time since 2015 Sytch has been arrested for such an offense. On 2/23, Sytch was also given a summons for having an open alcohol container in a motor vehicle, for consumption of alcohol in a Motor Vehicle, reckless driving, failure to stop at a stop sign, driving the wrong way on a one-way street, driving with a suspended driver’s license, and careless driving. 
    
Sytch was released by the Seaside Heights Police Department into the custody of the Holmdel Police Department as it was discovered that she had outstanding warrants in the jurisdictions of Holmdel, NJ Police Department for $1,500.00 and Knowlton, NJ Police Department for $1,000.00. Sytch has been charged with Contempt of court - Disobedience/Resistance of Court Command in relation to each of those warrants.  Sytch remained incarcerated in Monmouth County Correctional Facility in Freehold, NJ until being transferred back to Pennsylvania on 3/20. 

The transfer was the second time that Sytch was extradited to Carbon County from the Monmouth County Correctional Facility after a bench warrant was issued for her arrest for breaking the terms of her parole.  Sytch had been arrested in New Jersey last year for failing to appear in court for two DUI arrests.   While Sytch was being processed for multiple charges of Contempt - Disobedience/resistance in New Jersey, authorities learned that she was technically a fugitive from justice because a motion had been filed in August 2017 in PA requesting her February 2017 parole from the Carbon County in Pennsylvania be revoked. 

Sytch's original Pennsylvania DUI charges in 2015 were a result of three separate incidents over that summer.
