Uh OOHH, ROH Death Before Dishonor PPV Buyrate Reportedly Comes In Low (Only 800? Damn)

ROH Death Before Dishonor took place last Friday from Sam's Town Live in Las Vegas where Rush became the new ROH World Champion after defeating Matt Taven.

According to the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, the PPV only brought in 800 buys, down 77% from ROH's previous PPV, Best in the World, which did around 3,500. ROH PPVs typically do between 3,500 and 5,000.

This is only looking at the traditional PPV buys for the show, fans could also watch via FITE and ROH HonorClub, but those numbers aren't made public. 

But still, 800 compared to between 3,500 and 5,000 tells you they may need to look at what they're doing if there's that much of a drop.. That much of a drop says a lot.

Randy Orton Has Big Praise For AEW, Says He'd Like To Work With Sammy Guevara

Randy Orton let loose while playing Call Of Duty on Twitch last night. It appeared that the Viper had downed a few.
At one point Orton was all praise for AEW Dynamite's debut on Wednesday night on TNT. Orton praised the show for its atmosphere, noting that it had a "big show feel."
"Speaking of Vince, that AEW was f--king cool, huh? Did you watch that show last night? Oh my God!" Orton said. "I'll tell you what. It's that big match feel, the big show feel."
Orton also complimented the opening match on the show, featuring Cody defeating Sammy Guevara. Orton admitted that he would "love to work" with Guevara in the future.
"Cody and Sammy Guevara, that kid can do some s--t," Orton admitted. "I'd love to work with that kid. They had a great match. I thought opening the show with that match was a good idea and well received."

Ay Yay YYAYY- AEW BRAWL AT NEW YORK COMIC CON

There was a brawl at the end of the All Elite Wrestling panel at New York Comic Con.

At the end of a fan Q&A, a fan dressed as Chris Jericho began praising Jericho's long run before revealing himself to be MJF, asking him how he feels about knowing Cody was going to get him for what they did to him at Dynamite.  He then announced Cody was there.

Cody came through the crowd, confronted Jericho and they had a brief pull-apart brawl with Atlas Security yanking them apart.

But where was this 'crack, top notch' Atlas Security during the Omega/Moxley brawl Wednesday Night? HHMMM. 

Maybe they should hire Doug Dellinger to be head of security at this rate, LOL!

Article by Bill M. Walkowitz "You Fucks Need To Stop Whining"


You Fucks Need To Stop Whining

That's probably the best way to describe what I'm about to write, the title of this thing.. I've watched on Facebook and Twitter all the back and forth and back and forth and back and forth between NXT and AEW, which is better, how they're better, why they're better, etc etc etc.. Yet here's the thing that really stands out with me when it comes to a lot of current era marks.. They whine, cry, bitch and scream they want something different, but when they DO get something different, they go and complain about the different they get.
You fucks need to stop whining, period.
My God, you have more wrestling available on TV, YouTube, streaming services than you'll ever be able to watch in your lifetime, almost every week if you know where to look.

Now me, I don't hold an opinion on who's better, I just go on what appeals to me and I fully admit I'm not an NXY fan.. I don't slam them or say they're weaker than AEW, the way they present their talent which is in effect, the "WWE Way", has always been a turn off for me. Which is why I haven't watched anything WWE on a regular basis in over nine years and counting, and just glancing at part of last night's NXT show on USA reminded me why that is.

The whole "WWE way" of how they present their product, talent, etc.. just doesn't flow with me.. Presentation , especially when I've seen a lot of their talent elsewhere before, they got the "WWE Polish" so to speak, is what makes me different than a lot of other people. The whole 'WWE spin" of things doesn't jive with me and I know many who'll disagree but that's fine.. Go ahead.. I at least seen some of the behind the scenes "WWE spin and polish" by working for an indy group in the 90's that had the WWE'S training dojo on their shows. So I saw first hand alot more than a lot of fans, marks, critics have seen. So my opinion is based on what I like, look for and have seen.

One thing I noticed is that people who have been disenfranchised with WWE clamor and state they want something different. well, they got something different in AEW. Hell there's something different for them in Impact Wrestling, ROH, Indy groups all over the fucking world, do the footwork and find them if you REALLY want something different.

If you're like me, and most aren't, in that Impact's way of presenting their product and talent (along with Don Callis's claims he was gonna rid Impact of the silliness that's plagued them but has in fact added his own silliness since he writes and books that silliness now) doesn't give me what I'm looking for and seeing old ECW veterans there it seems like there's 'something missing' (Oh yeah, that would be Paul Heyman and how he helped make ECW over this Impact in a way trying to emulate ECW in a way and coming up short?) Along with the fact most of what made Impact worth watching talent wise, is now gone thanks to Anthem Sports just letting them walk on out without even trying to keep them,.. leaves me with what.. Other than Tessa Blanchard? Not much to like here.. ROH isn't much better since they're so high spot heavy in many ways, the level of 'selling' in a lot of their matches is horribly bad and yes, I'm a stickler for 'selling'. if you no sell a lot, i hit fast forward or go watch something else.. No selling is an insult to the fan's intelligence and if you weren't trained correctly in HOW to sell, then you should go learn how to sell. Selling, makes a fucking difference, hate to be the bearer of bad news to you, but it makes a lot of difference.

So now we have AEW, the 'thing' that people wanted to see, that 'something different' that they whined and cried and bitched so much about.. It's here.. But now that it's here, what do i see? The same bitching about this as they did on WWE.

"They should've done this", "they could've done that", "they should've booked it this way" booking wise.. "Why didn't so and so win", I mean seriously, you wanted something different, you got it and now you're gonna complain about the different that you got? Maybe you fucks should just stop watching if nothing makes you happy. Or.. iIf you think you can do it better, as I tell every person who thinks they're the armchair expert.. "You think you can do it better, create your own promotion and do it better then". 99% of the time when i say that? I get, silence, or excuses.. Mostly silence.. because the excuses just show that they know they got called out on their BS rant and are now back stepping..

Now I watched and wrote a review on AEW'S debut.. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2019/10/review-of-aews-debut-show-dynamite-on.html


While there was stuff that rubbed me wrong, there was enough for me to want to check em out next week.. To see the one big answer to my question, Where, do they go from here?

The only gripe from all the bitching complaining and whatnot I can agree on, is the commercials.. The picture in picture thing for commercials and having to endure six to seven of those commercials was indeed nauseating.. BUT as I said to more than one person, maybe that was a TNT call and not an AEW.. I've seen some blame AEW for that but it's not AEW'S TV Network, so how can you blame them? TNT is the one airing the show and (I assume) getting paid by AEW to have the show air on their network.. So in the end it's TNT that makes the call on how the pacing and placing of commercials will be.

Pin the blame where it belongs, not on AEW but on the network that has allowed AEW to be aired on that network..

Also, another note.. While those picture in picture commercials and other commercial breaks are irritating to you and in some ways, me.. I can assure you than ANY owner of ANY Indy company anywhere in this country would be happy as hell, to have them commercial breaks if they could get the air time and exposure that AEW has with TNT.. Another thought that many have been lost on as well.

It's only their debut week on TV and people have bombed AEW with bitching and whining.. Well let's see YOU do better then, do so or shut up.. That simple.. You wanted something different, you got it but yet you still bitching.. Some fans/marks are really unbelievable, seriously..

In the end you don't HAVE TO choose between either or, watch both if you're a fan of both, watch whichever one you like more or, there's option C which I go for every time and that's.. WATCH SOMETHING ELSE!
For the idiot and ass clown that's gonna say "A duh, there isn't anything else", I can surely say, BULLSHIT! I subscribe to over 100 different YouTube channels and there's ALWAYS SOMETHING ELSE! DDT out of Japan posts videos almost every day, there's a ton of Indy groups that have channels and post content, do the fucking footwork and find it if you really want something different. It's not that freaking hard so why be that lazy?

The one company I AM, looking forward to seeing? Seeing how THEIR TV is gonna go? is Billy Corgan's NWA TV Studio Wrestling.. THAT has me the most excited as their presentation to me has been off the charts good.. They have ALOT of talent that I like on the roster and it preserves the history and heritage of, the NWA while bringing it to the present. There's the option C right there along with the many channels on YouTube I can access at any given time.. Capitol Wrestling has a weekly show, AMW out of Kentucky, OVW that Al Snow now owns, I can go on and on naming groups I can watch on Wednesdays if i really want to.

So in the end, the answer is the same as the beginning of this, you fucks need to stop whining. You have more wrestling than you can ever dream of having.. Go watch it, and shut the fuck up.

Review Of AEW'S Debut Show Dynamite On TNT


 My review  on AEW'S Debut on TNT.

Cody vs Sammy Guevara

A very solid opener going back and forth and not as many flip flop maneuvers as I thought I'd see. Some very solid wrestling and Sammy's 'selling' in the match improved, especially after getting smacked by Brandi and taking that kick by Cody afterwards.  Seeing 'selling' like that makes alot of difference and you don't see alot of this current era's wrestlers actually 'sell'.. Because either they weren't trained properly on how to sell, or they feel they don't need to. So this was indeed refreshing. The only flaw I saw in this was way too many near falls. If you do that on this level in the opening match it's not gonna seem 'important' on matches later in the show cause 'everyone's' gonna be doing it. But the finish was really solid and THAT, helped tell the complete story of the match. A story was told within the match and it came over well in my opinion.

I see the complaint of many of the commercials as a nuisance but my only thing is there were way too many of them or.. They could've went to commercial AFTER, Jericho attacked Cody (which would've made more sense) But as I'll address later, was this a TNT call to do it this way?  THAT'S the big question though the whiners are slamming AEW for it when it may not, be their call on how that was done.

Brandon Cutler vs MJF

Tony deliver one of the best lines ever saying "I wanna see Cutler, shut this little prick's mouth", LMAO! Lord was that something you'd never hear on WWE'S shows. McMahon would be having a heart attack screaming into the headsets if that happened, LOL!

This was shorter than I thought but effective with the submission victory.

The fact they say "Professional Wrestling" and not "Sports Entertainment" also is a plus for me as well. Sometimes little things like that, can mean alot.

Hangman Page vs Pac

Where oh where did the 'selling' go, where oh where can it be? Lots of moves, lots of slamming into barriers but also, lots of no selling.. I'll always be a stickler for that and if there's lots of no selling it has me tempted to hit fast forward. Though it does get better later in the match, the fact that they felt they had to get alot of moves in a few seconds at the beginning with 'selling' kinda thrown out the window does gnaw on me.

Actually if they just went to the full commercial break instead of this picture in picture thing. That, would make more sense. Seven commercials also is a bit much as well. REALLY? SEVEN COMMERCIALS? Obviously this is, a TNT call.

It came across overall solid but nothing I'll remember a week from now because sadly, no matter where I've seen these two wrestle (PAC in the UK, Page in ROH), these two just don't do anything for me. So while I watched a match i would usually fast forward thru, the fact these two don't, do anything for me was reminded to me here.

Nyla Rose vs Riho

What I felt lacked in the last match, was totally different with this match. I'm used to a high bar set so to speak when it comes to women's matches because of women like Little Miss Roxxy, Millie McKenzie Jordyanne Grace and Tessa Blanchard. So I wasn't sure coming into this one whether it'd be good or not. Surprised the hell out of me and has me invested in seeing more of what they can do. Very solid match and no, I won't be giving the Dave Meltzer star rating system for any of these.

Of course the SIX COMMERCIALS THEY AIRED PICTURE IN PICTURE I'm sure infuriated alot of people. Again I'll bet money that's a TNT call to force so many commercials in one sport that way instead of pacing for commercials differently. The only fault on this is what I mentioned about the first match. too many near falls.  But fans like me that actually DO have a long attention span unlike many current era fans/marks don't, notice things like this. Other than that this was, awesome to watch.

Young Bucks & Omega vs Jericho and LAX (Santana & Ortiz)

And here comes the high spot festival I was fearing would be coming all show long.. The first few minutes reminded me of what I dislike about alot of today's wrestling.. High spot city with no substance. Also,when Moxley shows up and hhmm, Is security all of a sudden on a coffee break?

They were out earlier in the show but when Omega and Moxley are brawling in the 'VIP area" (which is as far away from the ring with no view of it as possible, LOL ) Security seems nowhere to be found.

Then it's back to doing a million fast moves in a minute again. At least The Younbg Bucks took a loss so not every one of the AEW higher ups didn't get a win.

All my knocks on the things i saw, this was a solid outing for a group many said couldn't even fill a ten thousand seat arena long long ago. Over 14,000 in the building tonight so Meltzer can again, eat his words. This show was enough and showed enough to where I'll have a look at it next week, to see where, they go from here.. because THAT, is the main question. You made your debut.. But where, do you go, from here? THAT is what I'll be observing.

Mat Memory- Article I wrote back in 1998 About The Worst Show I Ever Went to

Back in 1998 I was living in NH and was working for WWA New England (setting up the ring, chairs, etc  on shows in Mass. Locally promoting shows in NH).. Two weeks before a show I was locally promoting in Farmington, NH (Next town over from the one I was living in, which was Rochester). I went to a show of a company running back then called Ringside Wrestling, which was run by a guy named Jeff Costas, known as "Lobsterman"  in the New England indie scene.

Knowing I had a WWF Training Dojo headlining the show I was locally promoting (which featured Wiliam Regal, Tom Prichard, Jeff Jarrett and others as well as 'now' trainer at the WWE Performance Center Matt Bloom, The late Steve Bradley, and an appearance by Walter 'Killer' Kowalski) I decided to go check out what 'competition' is running elsewhere in the state..

The link I'm going to provide is to an article I wrote on a no longer used web page I used to post things on. I went to this show and well.. The article speaks for itself on how bad it was and what ensued when I was there.

It STILL, stands to this day, as THE WORST show I ever went to see live. That says alot.

Apparently PWInsider STILL hasn't learned this lesson, especially when I showed yesterday, JUST YESTERDAY, how content isn't as 'exclusively available' to subscribers as they think. Especially when if one does the foot work you can get it free elsewhere.

Here's the story I did yesterday on PWInsider's bullshit claim. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2019/09/complete-court-bauer-mlw-media-call.html And now, little over 24 hours later? I get to do this again.

You'd think they'd learn by now, but NNNOOO, LOL. As easy as it is to bust "Hidden Gems" so 'hidden' they're on YouTube, this, is just as easy.. And you'd THINK.. The people at PWInsider would be smart enough to know this stuff... Apparently, they're not.

So today's killing of their claim is... This..


If you listen to them, you have to be a subscriber to their VIP Service (aka PAY ) to hear this media call. BUT.. You don't, because LOOK where it is readily available for free, without having to PAY, to subscribe to anything..


Right here over at WrestlingInc, ther eit is.. Click on their embedded player and,  there you go..

But of course here's an even SIMPLER way that's free as well. One PWInsider I guess never even considered.


DDAAMMNN, for free right on YouTube? Without having to pay to subscribe to anything? DDAAMMNN. How embarrassing is that?

Here, I'll even give you the link to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_NBoMH9NLU

By all means let Dave Scherer and Mike Johnson over at PWInsider know about this.. I would but because I've put both of them in check before with actual knowledge and proving them wrong on things, they have me blocked.. So if you wanna go ahead and let them know they've been put in their place, again.. By all means, do so.

It comes down to, why pay for their VIP subscription to hear stuff like this when, it's available for free? Anyone who does that is an idiot and apparently PWInsider prove they're still idiots by trying this bullshit.

You can go ahead and thank me for shooting holes thru the bullshit.. Clowns like this, make it way too easy. :)

Update- 10/1/19 &;30 PM

AAAAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHA this gets even better and shows really, how fucking dumb PWInsider really is. LOOK, yet ANOTHER PLACE where you can hear the media call WITHOUT having to be a subscriber to PWInsider's dumb ass VIP service.


The many ways they (PWInsider) keep getting punked, is amazing, LOL!


Second Episode Of Arn Anderson's Podcast.

In September of 1988, Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard left Jim Crockett Promotions to join the World Wrestling Federation. In this episode we examine all of the details surrounding that decision. The whos, hows, whys, and whens are broken down in great detail for the first time ever. You'll hear specifics of what exactly was frustrating half of the Horsemen, when it started, why they stayed as long as they did, and what ultimately led to their departure. Was it cash? Or was it creative? Who reached out to who in order to make this jump happen? When did Arn meet Vince? What was the meeting like? What did Flair think when he found out they were leaving? What did Dusty say when they gave notice? Plus we "fantasy book" if Arn and Tully hadn't left when and how they did. If you're looking for lots of specifics and details never before revealed about the end of Jim Crockett Promotions, this is the episode for you!

Cody Rhodes Says He's Free To Use "Rhodes" Name,

AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes hosted a media caller earlier today to promote Wednesday's AEW Dynamite premiere on TNT, which will air live from the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC. Cody is set to face Sammy Guevara on the show.
Cody confirmed that WWE is not "holding hostage" the Rhodes last name, and said he can use it if he wants to, but he doesn't want to use it, about the Rhodes last name and any potential issues with WWE over the use of it. Rhodes said he got the rub off his father, WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, and the family name enough over the years. He also indicated how there's respect between the families behind WWE and AEW.
"I can use it," Cody revealed. "I won't use it though. That's not everyone's favorite answer, but I got the rub off that name plenty. The reason I don't use it is this - this isn't the romantic Game of Thrones answer that everyone wants, but the reason I don't use it is, I got so used to being 'The American Nightmare' Cody in Japan, and I love that. I love the idea of trying my damnedest to get a single name over. I got the rub off of Dusty and my family long enough. I don't mind not using it. You'll see it every now and then, some people, they already know, so if it's here, it's here, if it's not, it's not. But by no means is WWE holding that name hostage, that is not a real thing. If I was to walk out tomorrow as Cody Rhodes and announced as Cody Rhodes, nobody's gonna sue us, nobody's coming after us. There's a lot of respect between the families that are involved here. So, no. I just like using my first name."
Cody was also asked about recent comments made by another AEW Executive Vice President, Kenny Omega. As we've noted, Omega stated in a recent interview that WWE NXT Superstars would be working the dark matches to his main events if there was just one wrestling promotion, and that AEW has real stars while NXT just has developmental talents. Cody gave props to NXT, but referred to it as the developmental brand, and said he believes Omega was just having fun and playing a gimmick.
"Well, I know that my father was rather instrumental in bringing the developmental brand up from the OVW-like situation or the FCW situation that I was in as a trainer, and making it more of a brand," Cody said of Dusty's early work with the NXT brand. "You'll never hear me disparage NXT. There's a locker room full of my friends over there and literally if any of you have done the Performance Center tour, you're going to happen in front of my dad's boots. I think Kenny was just having a bit of fun and it was something much in character that's been going on with Being The Elite. I have nothing but good things to say about the developmental brand, and their success they've had, and their continued success."
Cody later expressed interest in wanting to buy back the War Games name and concept from WWE, which they currently use for the NXT brand at annual Takeover events. Cody also confirmed that he has the Bunkhouse Stampede and BattleBowl trademarks for potential use in the future. Jae Holland of the Unsanctioned podcast asked Cody if we could possibly see AEW do a match similar to War Games, or another concept we haven't seen yet. Cody noted that AEW President and CEO Tony Khan often comes up with new match ideas. Cody also revealed that Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks came up with the Casino Battle Royale match, with the idea that it would be a layered Royal Rumble.
"Well, you mentioned War Games and I'm kind of sitting here thinking to myself," Cody said. "I'd really love to just buy it back and I wonder if they'd be willing to let me just buy it back, because Dusty came up with the match concept, on a napkin in the parking lot. Arn Anderson was there, I've got a witness. The one they do now isn't truly loyal to the old school rules of it. Maybe I can get it back. But the beauty of that - War Games just came out of the experience of being around wrestling, seeing the Four Horsemen build-ups, seeing the good guys and their adversaries, and all of a sudden the light bulb went off. Hopefully a match comes to us the same way.
"We started with the Casino Battle Royale, which was Nick Jackson's idea of doing almost a layered Royal Rumble, and I think with the women's one, which was far superior to the men's one, I think we got the formula for that right. I would really hope that we come up with some great match-ups of our own. I could always steal from my dad but come on, he wouldn't be proud if I was just yanking all his ideas. I do have the Bunkhouse Stampede on lock-down, if and when we need to, also Battle Bowl, if and when we need to. But I know among us, especially Tony Khan, who seems like he's coming up with a different match concept every day, I know we can come up with something original. Maybe we float that out, though. Float that out to WWE, see if we can buy War Games."
