Indie Wrestler Tim McNeany Puts Joey Ryan In His Place.. And Cornette Talks About It

Here's the screen shot of it, right here.

For the record, Tim McNeany has been well known throughout the New England Indie scene since the 90's. Appearing on shows run by Sylvano Sousa, WWA New England ran by former WWF referee Fred Sparta, and other companies. So it's funnier than hell that he came on put Jeoy Ryan in his place.

Joey Ryan, got 'checked' by Tim McNeany, LMAO!

Here's where you can see this. https://twitter.com/McneanyTim/status/1255121607397453825

Needless to say that now that Joey Ryan got punked? he suddenly has no balls to come on his Twitter and admit he was wrong.. IIMMAAGGIINNEE, THAT, ROFLMAO!

Here's where Cornette talks about this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epZRrO3nhnE

MLW Fusion #108: Injustice vs. Vikingo, Octagon Jr. & Myzteziz Jr. | Super Series | Week 4

Matches:
•AAA World Trios Titles Jinetes Del Aire (Vikingo, Octagon Jr. & Myzteziz Jr.) vs. Injustice
•Poder Del Norte vs. Black Destiny, Fantastick, Rayo Star
•Plus more!

The fourth stage of the historic MLW AAA Super Series arrives as over 4,500 fans in Tijuana Mexico witness an interpromotional title match.

The best trios unit in all of Lucha Libre arrive just in time to assist AAA in their efforts to rally back in the Super Series. Myzteziz Jr., Hijo del Vikingo and Octagon Jr. -- collectively known as Jinetes Del Aire make their FUSION debut.

AAA’s world class high-fliers will defend AAA’s most storied and prestigious belts: the AAA World Trios titles in an interpromotional clash as they face MLW’s Injustice.

For months Jordan Oliver, Kotto Brazil, and MLW World Middleweight Champion Myron Reed have decried MLW, the sport, its athletes and fans for not respecting them or putting them on a platform for greater success.

After being fined and suspended for their curb stomping of Brian Pillman Jr, the trio were fined and suspended by MLW, but after goading AAA Co-founder Konnan, the trio were not only reinstated into the league, but given a shot at the AAA World Trios Champions, Jinetes Del Aire.

Will Injustice shine against three of Lucha Libre’s best or will the Jinetes get the jump on Injustice and get one step closer to tying this historic interpromotional showdown?

With rumors rampant of Davey Boy Smith signing the dotted line for a World Title Fight, MLW has an exclusive update as the 3rd generation powerhouse puts CONTRA and the undefeated champ Jacob Fatu in his crosshairs.

The Dynasty invite you to join them in the Caribbean as the self-proclaimed Caribbean Heavyweight Champion Richard Holliday goes on a shopping spree.

Also! One week before Los Parks represent MLW in the Super Series, we return to La Cocina de LA Park as the patriarch of lucha shows his skills in the kitchen match his skills in the ring.

Join Rich Bocchini, AJ Kirsch and Alicia Atout from Tijuana for a night of top ranked action.

(Updated 9;00 PM) Some People.. Just Never Learn and Have To Keep Being Put In Their Place By Me (PowerBomb Wrestling)

Earlier this week I wrote on how another week goes by and another moron has to be put in their place by me. This time it was someone representing PowerBomb Wrestling (Located in Toledo, Ohio). Someone who obviously is running their Twitter channel. And true to what I knew would happen? When i wrote thye story on it (located here https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2020/04/another-week-goes-by-another-idiot-has.html ) and ut got out.. The guy representing PBW of course would still try, and get over on me, even though the evidence clearly shows he really should stay silent.

I mean look. He swore if anyone thught that Monsoon and ventura were better than Heenan and Monsson we were all wrong. BUT.. look at the poll results and you'll obviously see who was wrong.. The guy representing Powerbomb Wrestling.

The results validated everything I said but of course.. Idiots like this guy from PBW don't and can't accept them kinds of truth, even if the evidence IS, slapping him right in the face.

So after the first story about me putting him in check came out, instead of him becoming smart and realizing that maybe, just maybe he should just be quiet.. He of course tries his best to get over on me some more, and fails at every turn .. As you're about to see.

My favorite copout of his, and ssoo many dumb shits always make this mistake, they love to claim that 'nobody' will see what I write.. Even though i showed him the stats that again prove him wrong.. he of course goes and deflects from it, even thought definitely shows he's wrong. Just like he's been wrong all thru this. A fact like this.. Always proves the idiots wrong, no matter how many times they want to try and deflect and 'no sell' it.

Right there should've ended it cause it without a doubt shoots everything he's said to shit, with ease. BUT.. As you know this era's marks and fans, even this era's workers now it seems.. The more you show them facts, the dumber they start to get..

And why is it, when they KNOW, they're getting their ass verbally kicked they always, ALWAYS (like a rerun you can predict it'll happen) they always go with a very typical reply of "You're cheap entertainment"? If you say you don't care but keep replying, guess what stupid.. You're showing you DO care, no matter how you try and play it off, the actions show better than your cop outs and show what a hypocrite and a fucking moron you are.

And this one here, everyone who'll look at this guy's Twitter channel will see THIS story, just like they saw the last one.. But of course he doesn't want to or just can't conceive that concept either. Another example of how when people get online they have this habit of just getting dumber.

So maybe now he'll realize he should stay quiet, because anything else he tries to say will just make him look even more stupid. But how much you wanna bet, he just won't be able to help himself and will reply.. because he 'doesn't care' that much, LMAO.

Gotta love idiots like this, and Social media is so infested with them.. That's why it takes no effort to keep putting them in check, with no effort needed, whatsoever. :)

Someone please tell this ass clown that being quiet is his best bet. because he sure isn't representing his indie company very well getting clobbered by me so easily.. Maybe he'll listen to one of you if you tell him because I tell him, he keeps replying and then i keep putting him in his place, LOL. So some of you give it a shot and see if he'll listen to you.

Stick a fork in him cause he's done, again, thanks to me. :)

And THIS, is what happens when the guy representing Powerbomb Wrestling finally realizes, he's been getting punked by me with ease,.

Guess it finally hit him that his claim of 'no one's gonna see it' made him look stupid as fuck and now that I took every argument he had away from him.. He's run off, like a bitch, LOL.

Tim Storm & Nick Aldis | The Modern Era Rebirth of the NWA

With the National Wrestling Alliance crossing over 200k subscribers, we look back at the debut of the modern era of The NWA with Tim Storm & Nick Aldis starting in October of 2017.

And also included his first challenger Nick Aldis.

You'll witness the very first vignette featuring Tim Storm, his first appearance on Ten Pounds of Gold, his debut "mountaintop" promo, the backstory of his time in the NWA in the 1990s, the introduction of Nick Aldis and his challenge to Storm. Plus we'll see the first comments of NWA President Billy Corgan about the history of the National Wrestling Alliance.

You'll also see three matches on this video including singles matches with Nick Aldis and Tim Storm leading up to their battle for #TenPoundsOfGold against each other.

If you're new to this channel since the debut of #NWAPowerrr, this will be a great look back at how we got here. We're very proud to give this over 1 hour look back at the relaunch of the modern era of the National Wrestling Alliance.

And To Think, Some fans Are Dumb Enough To Buy This- WWE Selling Dirt From Boneyard Match At WrestleMania 36

From the "There's A Sucker Born Every Minute" File, comes this, and fans will willingly spend money to get? Dirt, LMAO! Yes, some fans are indeed, this stupid. And unfortunately, the WWE knows this as well.

You can now own dirt from WWE's first-ever Boneyard Match, which took place as the main event of WrestleMania 36 Night One with The Undertaker defeating AJ Styles.

WWE Shop is selling a Limited Edition 15" x 17" plaque to commemorate the bout, featuring a capsule of dirt from where they filmed the cinematic match at.

There are just 536 of the dirt capsules, and the individually-numbered plaques are likely moving fast.

The $74.99 item can be pre-ordered now and will be in stock on Wednesday, May 13. Customers who qualify can pay for the item in 4 interest-free installments of $18.75 as the WWE Shop website has partnered with the Klarna service.

WWE Reportedly Open To Granting Talent Releases (Yeah Right, We'll See About That, LOL)

WWE talents who are looking to be released from their contracts may be able to get those releases as the company is reportedly still looking to make cuts due to tough times brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.

It was noted by @Wrestlevotes how multiple sources report that WWE is willing to grant a release to "just about anyone" who makes the request right now.

"Basically if a talent wants out, they can go," wrote WV.

It will be interesting to see if anyone asks to be released during the current period of uncertainty. There was said to be a lot of fear within WWE earlier this month when they made company-wide cuts due to the negative business impact COVID-19 brought on.

UPDATE ON TRIAL IN DEATH OF NYC INDEPENDENT WRESTLER MATT TRAVIS

Due to the current coronavirus pandemic, the trial of Luc C. Vu, the man arrested following the death New York City independent wrestler Matt "Travis" Palacios, before New York Criminal Court has been pushed back three months until Monday 7/20, PWInsider.com has learned. The trial was originally slated to begin on 4/20.

Vu has been charged with reckless driving, failure to yield to a bicyclist, failure to obey a traffic device, driving left of pavement marking and failure to exercise due care in December 2019, leading to Palacios' death.

Palacios was struck while traveling on a bike path in East Harlem about 2:30 AM on Saturday 11/9/19 when a dump truck driver made an illegal left u-turn to get onto the Willis Avenue Bridge. Travis was struck and although rushed to the hospital, suffered serious trauma and was pronounced dead when he arrived. It is not clear whether Vu was aware he struck Travis. Vu was driving for Parsipanny, New Jersey-based D&A Contracting LLC, which fired him upon learning of his arrest.

Jim Cornette on The Passing Of Joe Pedicino

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zWJ3ps3A1I

Another Week Goes By, Another Idiot Has To be Put In Their place.

Twitter seems very infested with them, and this one, 'representing' Powerbomb Wrestling out of Ohio, OBVIOUSLY didn't see the poll results either. Which obviously favored what I said. Maybe he should've looked at the results before trying to take me on and wind up not looking good at all.

Anyone with an I.Q. higher than a door knob would know that Heenan would run rings around anyone else, especially Jesse. But hey, as you can see, not everyone is that smart, especially whoever is 'representing' Powerbomb Wrestling on Twitter.

As I'm starting say more and more... Knowledge, is king. (smiles).

JERRY LAWLER ADDRESSES 'RAMEN NOODLE MOONSAULT' COMMENT ON RAW

On the latest edition of his podcast, Jerry Lawler addressed his recent "Ramen noodle moonsault" comment while doing commentary on WWE Raw.

On the April 13th edition of the show, Lawler was calling an Akira Tozawa-Austin Theory match with Tom Phillips and Byron Saxton when he referred to a Tozawa senton as a "Ramen noodle moonsault". The comment was later edited out of the Hulu edition of the show.

At the 53 minute mark, Lawler asked his co-host if he could address the elephant in the room about the comment and why being racist was "the furthest thing from his mind."

He said he was doing commentary in 2016 with Mauro Ranallo and given Ranallo's history with Japanese wrestling, he heard him call a move something that he figured was made up because he had never heard of it before. He said he later made up some names of what he thought would be funny moves to go back at Ranallo at when he called a move.

"I would say something like, "There’s the Ramen Noodle moonsault" and he would say, "Oh, King! You know there's no such thing!" and we would just go on. I was doing it just to play devil’s advocate with Mauro. If I were still doing commentary with Michael Cole or JR, we had the chemistry to where each one of those guys would have known that I was almost making a fool out of myself by claiming like I was acting like I knew what this unbelievable looking move was.

"Then either Cole or JR would have said ‘"Oh, King! You know better than that!" With Byron and Tom, we don’t have that chemistry yet. We have only been working together for a short time so when I said that, they didn’t even acknowledge it so it kind of went out and they just kept talking and I kept talking. I didn’t think anything about it either.”

Lawler and his co-host then intimated that the intent was that the joke was supposed to be on him for being behind the times.

"That’s where me, Bobby Heenan, Jesse Ventura...all of the heel commentators do that sort of stuff and the joke is on yourself that the people out there say, "Look at that idiot. He doesn’t even know what he’s talking about and he thinks he does.' That's where the joke was."

Lawler did not apologize for the comment and remains on the commentary team for Raw.

I Thru Myself Into This Discussion And Wouldn't You Know? Nobody Could Dispute What I Said.

All these so called "Well Knowledged" experts throwing this and that out and what do I do? Thru some of the real truth, which was and has been a fact for decades now, into the mix. And BOOM.. Not one of them can argue my very valid point. Imagine that.

They may have worked for these companies but it'll always come down to someone who's more knowledgeable on many companies, to throw the truth in where they really don't want to hear it.

What I said, besides it being true, just took all the argument away from all of them (smiles).

Knowledge is king, remember that. :)

MLW Fusion #107: Super Series | Week 3

Matches:
•Hart Foundation vs. Los Mercenarios
•No Disqualification: Richard Holiday vs. Chessman
Plus more!

For the first time since October the Hart Foundation reunite as they represent MLW in the Super Series!

With Davey Boy Smith Jr and Brian Pillman Jr eyeing singles gold, their bond and pride in representing MLW bring them together in Mexico. Davey Boy looks to make statement as he continues to campaign for a championship bout against Fatu while Pillman is focussed on a prosperous comeback.

These two will have no time to work out the rust as they face former AAA Tag Team Champions Rey Escorpion and Texano Jr. Coupled with rumors of CONTRA infiltrating MLW and Injustice making their way across the border, anything could happen.

“Championship” action is on the docket this week as Richard Holiday looks to make it a clean sweep for the Dynasty in Tijuana.

The self-proclaimed Carribean Heavyweight Champion Richard Holliday will compete in a traditional “Caribbean rules” match, meaning there are no disqualifications. Is the Airpod God looking for opportunities to gain advantages over the legendary Chessman? Tune in to find out!

The much touted Team Filthy/American Top Team mega merger press conference will take place.

Speaking of Team Filthy, the World Tag Team Champions Ross and Marshall Von Erich will make a statement on Lawlor and his stable of fighters entering the tag team division.

The office of Dr. Sweglar will also release a report on Douglas James following last week’s knockout.

Join Rich Bocchini, AJ Kirsch and Alicia Atout from Tijuana for a night of top ranked action.
