Another Day, Another AEW Fanboy Has To Be Smacked (I Could Do This All Year, They Make It So Easy)
I can see why the head writer for Wrestling Past And Present, Bill W. has such a fun time slapping marks around online. There's no challenge from them and as Bill has pointed out several times in the past. They always react and reply the same way, every time.
Between yesterday with this story.. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/05/aew-fanboys-dont-like-seeing-truth-try.html And now today with what I'm about to show you. Marks and Fanboys really don't realize when it's time for them to just quit, and shut up.
You'll see how he first tries to claim that this story.. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/05/wonder-what-others-in-aew-think-about.html Is a "Nonstory" but when I show him proof that someone besides me is talking about it, he quickly tries to backtrack and back step on it.
Then after he claims I couldn't put him in check (when the fact I showed him this IS, a story unlike what claimed, it indeed, put him in check) I explain the obvious that every time a mark or fanboys rushes out to claim they weren't put in their place, it's the obvious sign that they know, they were put in their place. It's really sad that clowns like this have to have things dumbed down this much. But IO guess a little lower education for the clueless like this guy Dave, is what's needed.
Everything after this is the usual mark trying to get himself over on a staff member of WP&P after he was put in his place by one of us, and he failed. Which comes as no surprise as again, marks always react and reply the same way every time. So predictable every time.
At some point fanboys and marks will learn that it's best for them to just, not say anything. because when they do, they'll be shown to the masses what dumb clowns they really are. This was just the latest example. I'm sure, they'll be more to come. You can thank the staff of WP&P for putting dumb fanboys and marks in check. it's our pleasure to do so.

Wonder What Others In AEW Think About This- MJF: Watching AEW’s Wrestling Style Makes Me Want To ‘Puke’ ("OOOO" DDAAMMNN!)
Nothing like slamming and insulting the very company that pays you., Gotta love it. Least he has the balls to speak up about it, even if nobody else in AEW will ever listen.. because they of course "know it all", ask them, they'll tell you.
MJF is often viewed as a wrestling prodigy, and he continues to thrive in All Elite Wrestling.
Still, despite his young age, MJF is a throwback in every sense of the word. In an interview with Anthony Sulla-Heffinger of Yahoo! Sports, MJF explained that he admires classic wrestling and abhors the style that his peers in AEW are known for.
“When I first got into the industry, I was already a student of the game,” said MJF. “I enjoyed watching the [Nick] Bockwinkels, the [Ric] Flairs, the Tullys [Blanchard] — who I now get to work with every week — do their thing. The smartest thing about them, contrary to what you see now stylistically in professional wrestling, was that they didn’t want to get hit, they didn’t want to mess their bodies up.
“When I watch professional wrestling on AEW Dynamite, I cringe, I want to puke in my mouth a little bit, because I see these guys and they are murdering themselves. They are jumping from the top rope to the floor, they are doing the loopy loops, the twisty turns, the flippity do-das, and they are killing themselves. Some of these people who are younger than me, and I’m already wildly young, might not be able to walk anymore when they get to my age.”
It’s fair to say that MJF isn’t a high-flyer, so that concern doesn’t apply to him the same way it might to other wrestlers who use breathtaking offensive maneuvers.
Likewise, in the same interview, MJF explained that he doesn’t wrestle every single week to protect the significance of his matches.
“Why am I going to try and wrestle every week when I can save my body and then when I do wrestle, it’s more of a main attraction because people want to see it so bad,” said MJF. “There was a guy in the UFC, his name is Cowboy Cerrone, and the guy would be on almost every single card, his fight camps would be month to two months. Sure, he would win, but his winner’s purse would be so small because he made himself so accessible.
“Me, I’m a top guy, I’m a superstar, I’m not going to wrestle every week because I want the care for my matches from a fan’s standpoint to be that much larger.”

(updated 5-12-21 9:30 PM )AEW Fanboys Don't Like Seeing The Truth, Try And Brace A Staff Member Who Posted The Truth, And Get "Checked" For Their Troubles
What is it with the AEW fanboys? They see the truth, read it, but when they can't stand it they brace the guy who posted it.
And what happens when they brace the guy who posted it? They get put in their place, almost instantaneously.
This is what happens when they instead of staying quiet and moving along, they open their their mouths.
And sooner or later one of these clowns always try to claim that "Only 25" people, look at this site. When I post a screen shot that shows how dumb they are for assuming that. The silence afterwards always comes.
THAT, is how you put someone in their place. And the staff here at Wrestling Past And Present have a long habit of putting fanboys and marks, in their place.
(UPDATE- 9:30 PM)
Just now someone else put one of these fanboys in their place. Poor "Jerry" couldn't handle the fact that I, owned him earlier today. So what happens when he tries against someone else? He fails just as miserably, LOL!
When all else fails, bring people's mothers into it.. That always shows they KNOW, they're getting their ass kicked and they can't do anything about it.
Right after the guy who punked :"Jerry" replied with the answer about bringing his dead mother into it, what did "Jerry" do? He ran and hid behind a block, PROVING who the bitch really is, and why it's "Jerry". Jerry knew he was acting like a bitch and because he was getting 'treated', like a bitch. he ran and hid behind a block, LIKE a bitch.
How easy it is, to make these fanboys look like bitches I tell ya.
And this, is how "Jerry" reacts when I punk him on the fact he blocked someone who verbally beat him down with ease. Proving he's a pujssy in every essence of the word. An internet pussy at best.

WWE NXT REFEREE MISSES TV TAPING TO ARGUE AGAINST MASKS IN FLORIDA SCHOOLS, TOOK PART IN SIMILAR BEHAVIOR WHILE BACKSTAGE LAST WEEK
WWE NXT referee Drake Wuertz (aka former Death Match performer Drake Younger) missed last night's NXT taping in order to attend a school board meeting for the Seminole County Public Schools, arguing to the Superintendent that, despite the current COVID-19 pandemic, he should refuse the masking of children in the schools, claiming that the dangers of wearing the masks "outweighs" the dangers of COVID-19 and that by not doing so, he was going against the wishes of God.
And Vince McMahon actually PAYS, this guy, to be an ass clown. Imagine that.
Wuertz also argued against the wearing of masks to protect the health of the teachers in the classroom stating that in Seminole County, "God's country, we put the needs of our children first", citing a biblical verse that states it would be better for an adult to die by drowning than potentially "lead a little one to stumble." He also argued that wearing masks in school assist predators who "wish to prey upon our children" and that by requiring children be masked, they have disrespected the wishes of the parents. Wuertz also claimed that teachers would not be able to identify their own students if the students were forced to be masked.
Wuertz missing the taping last night followed a similar instance last week where Wuertz, wearing his WWE NXT gear while backstage at the Capitol Wrestling Center, took part in a Zoom call for the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners, arguing against the local mask mandate being used to protect against COVID-19, citing an online conspiracy theory that "child sex traffickers love COVID masks."
Given that WWE has instituted a mask policy for those working for the company, Wuertz publicly arguing against masks while technically in the middle of his work day while wearing company clothing seemed to have turned the tide against him with some who had previously felt he had every right to his opinion, now feeling he lost that right when he was expressing it on company time.
And it shows what a hypocrite Drake is.
Wuertz recently took to his Facebook page to defend his stance, writing, "My wife said some folks are apparently writing about our “Radical Views “. *Human Trafficking is modern-day slavery and we seek to eradicate it *Abortion is Murder and needs to be Abolished *Children in my community that are being forced by local government to wear masks for 8 hours a day against their parents wishes is abuse. We have a God-ordained duty to speak up for the ‘least of these’ and petition our magistrates to prevent harm upon children. If this is “Radical” then label me an extremist for Christ. Were not called to fit in with the world. Were called to serve God!…”We ought to obey God rather than men.” Acts 5:29"
A number of WWE talents and staff have expressed concern for Wuertz's actions in recent weeks and a number have pointed to last night's speech as reason for the company to step in, with one source citing a "pattern of behavior that is becoming increasingly concerning."
Whether WWE opts to address remains to be seen.
Better watch out, WWE "Creative" Might think this could mask for a 'good gimmick' for one of their shows, LMAO!

A Guy Who Has No Experience In Formatting Shows, Is Formatting AEW And Showing Why He shouldn't Be Formatting A Damn Thing
Yes, THIS is what wrestling has come to. A billionaire money mark in Tony Khan, allowing someone who has no formatting experience whatsoever, to help format a so called "Major" promotion's TV show.
It sure does explain why, the show looks and feels so shitty, that's for sure.
But at least now we know (besides horrible booking, no logic, tremendous amounts of 'so selling', etc) why. Some oen openlky admits he's "Never done it before" is allowed to format the show, aahahahahahahaha..
You'd think with guys like Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, or even an agent like Dean Malenko, You'd have one of THEM, help format the show.
NNNAAA, why do that? That would make "so much more sense". but instead, let's let QT Marshall, who admits he has no experience at it, do it instead.
YYEEAAHH, "That's the ticket", NOT!
Does anyone else besides me see just how STUPID, this idea is?
The answer among the AEW "Marks" and fanboys will of course be, a resounding "No", They don't see it or don't want, to see it.
And here's exactly HOW, ol QT formats the show every week. This is so fucking laughable. And anyone in AEW who really thinks THIS, is a 'brilliant' idea or way to do it, is truly, very stupid.
This comes right from Fightful.com, who posted QT's quote on how HE, and money mark Khan, ahem.. "Format" the show.
You know QT sounds like a fucking moron with that explanation how they format the show, right? You can see by what he says that he has no clue on how formatting really is, and thinks this bargain basement amateur hour way of doing it is a 'great' (cough cough) way of doing it.
You can now see why AEW Dynamite is such a shit show.
Take a billionaire money mark who has no clue at booking anything and shouldn't be booking anything, then add a guy who has no experience in formatting a show, put them together and you have the car crash called AEW Dynamite.
The fact these two inexperienced people are putting the show together shows you what a joke this really is. You can't make this kind of dumb shit up, you really can't.
But hey, as long as the money mark keeps churning out those checks.. Let's just keep doing the stupid shit he wants.. Right?
Keep getting those easy paydays while we can, eh? That the mentality there?
Someday, someone with the true experience will have the balls to tell QT AND Tony Khan, that this product is utter shit.
That day, won't be today.. Or any day soon because nobody wants to risk not getting that easy money anymore by telling the truth.
At least I give you the truth and the truth is, someone who has n o experience in formatting and booking shouldn't be formatting and/or booking a fucking thing.
Now, who do you think in AEW has the balls to tell THEM that? I'll wait.. And I'll be waiting a LONG time for someone there to get the balls to step up.
A VERY long time.. Because as everyone knows,. NOBOY there in AEW.. HAS, them kind of balls.

Bloodhunter Is Gone From SWE In Texas
Devin Nicholson explains his departure from SWE in Texas saying: SWE Fury head booker Teddy Long told him to leave Texas and go back to Canada after a 6 month relationship with SWE Fury where Hannibal was their lead interviewer and operated SWE's YouTube channel. He claimed he brought it from only 400 subscribers last November to nearly 20K subscribers this week when they released him.
They were averaging about $1500/month in YouTube revenue from nothing. Hannibal gave them his Wrestlecon table to use and helped book and transport talent among other office duties. Long also unbooked Shane Douglas and Scorpio from future SWE Events despite Hannibal already buying their plane tickets. Hannibal was Texas Champion as his Blood Hunter character it remains to be seen how they will handle that but as they owe him money he is keeping the Title.

Looks Like Two Other People Have The Same Opinion I do On The AEW/Impact Working Agreement (Imagine THAT, "Marks")
Back when AEW and Impact Wrestling started their working agreement, I SAID, Impact wouldn't get anything out of it. The "Marks" and Fanboys at the time swore i didn't know what I was talking about.
Now that we've seen what's happened with it.. Low ratings (for most of Impact's TV shows), Neither company's product improving or getting any better, along with Kenny Omega becoming Impact Champion (which I said would happen way before they even announced the match).. It looks like, I DO.... Know what I was talking about.
No surprise there.
Here's proof that I DID, say most of these things on this very blog. Right here.. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2020/12/scott-damores-shot-at-wwe-raw-was-weak.html and here.. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/03/this-is-what-working-with-aew-and.html
But now, it looks like both Booker T AND, AEW's own Chris Jericho have the same feeling and opinion I had and still have...
But I guess according to the 'marks', they're wrong too, eh? Yeah no, try again.
I said on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter that they should've had Rich Swann go over and win the AEW World title, over Omega winning the Impact title. Because THAT, would've elevated Rich Swann (which is actually THE better, booking idea) and it would've given Impact a true shot in the arm that it really needs.
But that goes under "Proper Booking 101", and Don Callis has proved time and again that he has no clue, what proper booking really is. He'd prefer to give his "Buddy pol pal" an extra payday that he really doesn't need instead. And True to form and what I said? Omega becoming Impact World Champion has don e jack SHIT, for Impact.. Just as I said.
Not bad for a guy the "Marks" claim, has 'no idea what he's talking about'.
So here's what Booker T had to say about it, referencing Chris Jericho as well. Further proving the "Marks" should just stay quiet, and let the opinions be with people who actually DO KNOW, what they're talking about.
On the latest episode of The Hall of Fame Podcast, Booker T spoke about criticism he received for comments he made on a previous episode regarding Kenny Omega becoming IMPACT World Champion. Booker stated that IMPACT gained nothing by having Omega win their world title and said he doesn’t know “what the company is thinking right now.” While Rebellion was reportedly the most successful IMPACT pay-per-view in years, television ratings since the event have been some of the lowest of 2021.
After receiving criticism from people on the internet, Booker admitted that it had been tough to deal with the negativity, but he still doesn’t refute what he said. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer continued to disagree with IMPACT’s decision to let Omega hold their championship, and noted that it looks bad for Rich Swann too.
“I haven’t been able to sleep properly these last few days man,” Booker said. “All this stuff on the internet, I try to stay off the internet, but sometimes it breaks my heart. I got feelings too, people always got comments and what not, I was just making an opinion about Impact and AEW. AEW World Champion going over to Impact, winning the Impact World Championship, I just did not think it was a good idea beating Rich Swann, I just did not think it was a good idea from a company perspective.”
AEW superstar Chris Jericho also made comments recently regarding the AEW / IMPACT relationship, saying AEW is on completely different level than IMPACT. Booker said that he agrees with Jericho and doesn’t believe he signed up to wrestle in AEW to also wrestle for another company like IMPACT.
“And now not only do I think that wasn’t a good idea, Chris Jericho was talking, and the question was asked about an invasion angle between Impact and AEW and he said he didn’t think that would be a good idea at all,” Booker said. “I just did not think it was a good idea. Now, am I wrong or is Chris Jericho wrong? Chris Jericho could have been in character, playing a role but his comments were he was never going to be seen inside an Impact ring in front of an empty arena, it’s never going to happen.
“For me personally, I don’t think Chris Jericho bought into AEW to go work for Impact. That’s a totally different contract. I have no time to even entertain something like that unless I was one of the executive producers, getting one of those kinds of checks. Am I wrong or is Chris Jericho wrong?”
Booker also spoke about why he doesn’t think the relationship between the two companies will last much longer. Being the host of a podcast, Booker continued to say he can be critical given his platform and has the right to say what he wants about the wrestling relationship.
“It just muddies the water more than anything,” Booker said. “I need you focused on my show, my stars, all the time, nobody else ever. That’s just my opinion.
“When people talk and say I don’t know what I’m talking about, or maybe I should not speak on it, this is called a show. This is what we do. We speak on stuff alright, if its newsworthy. The thing is, you should want us to talk about it because we actually know what we’re talking about opposed to someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.”

David Von Erich vs. Terry Gordy. WCCW, February 1984.
David Von Erich replaces his brother Kevin to go up against Buddy Roberts. But Michael Hayes decides to do some swappin' of his own, so he has Terry Gordy sub for Roberts. One of the wildest matches of the world famous Von Erich-Freebird feud, it would be David's last televised match, airing after he had died in Japan on February 10th, 1984.

Salina de la Renta is reportedly done with MLW
last night’s season finale of MLW Fusion ended with the reveal of Azteca Underground’s El Jefe, Dario Cueto. The storylines have had Azteca Underground, ran by Cueto, acquiring de la Renta’s Promociones Dorado, and de la Renta finding herself in trouble with the organization due to recent happenings. Salina was “kidnapped” last week, and her being captured last night by Cueto was said to be her “swan song,” several news outletsCueto is played by Spanish film & TV star Luis Fernandez-Gil. PWInsider has confirmed that he is now signed to a long-term MLW contract. Fernandez-Gil made his pro wrestling debut in 2014 as the boss of Lucha Underground, until he was shot and killed off at the end of season three. He then played the role of Dario’s father, Antonio Cueto, in season four, until the final episode aired in November 2018. The Cueto character was later brought back to life in a bizarre angle with Aerostar.
MLW has plans for the Cueto character to be a regular part of the new season of Fusion, which will begin taping on Saturday, July 10 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA. It was noted that since there has been talk of a second MLW series being launched, and as the company starts with Vice TV, it is possible that the series could involve the Azteca Underground storyline and concept. Cueto made a reference in last night’s vignette to the idea of a new temple being created, something that Azteca Underground has also teased on their official Twitter account in recent weeks.
The post-credits scene that aired on last night’s Fusion season finale was filmed in secret last month, in Los Angeles. Only a few select people in the company were involved or even aware of the segment being produced, and they were reportedly sworn to keep it a secret.
MLW Founder Court Bauer noted to PWInsider last night, “Just like with Vice, we delivered on the hype with tonight’s season finale. We started this mystery storyline last June dropping breadcrumbs on Pulp FUSION and almost a year later, fans got the satisfaction of the return of one of wrestling’s truly great villains.”.
MLW reportedly opted not to finish de la Renta up, and she will not be returning to the promotion going forward. The vignette that aired last night was the final appearance for her character, as it was implied that she was sacrificed off-camera, by Cueto.
JAPANESE GOVERNMENT EXTENDS STATE OF EMERGENCY, ONITA REVIVES FMW
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has reportedly decided to extend Japan’s ongoing state of emergency in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo until May 31 and has added Aichi and Fukuoka to the list of affected areas. The official announcement is expected tomorrow.
However, restrictions on events will be relaxed. All events will be allowed to go ahead with the lesser of 5,000 people in attendance or any number lower than 50 per cent of the venue’s capacity.
In theory, this should allow wrestling events to go ahead as currently scheduled. Any postponements or cancellations will be reported on as announced.
Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling Explosion
Deathmatch wrestling legend Atsushi Onita has launched his own wrestling company called Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling Explosion.
The ‘E’ in the company’s name stands for explosion and its main focus will be on exploding barbed wire deathmatches.
FMW-E’s debut show will take place on July 4 at the Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market in Yokohama.
Onita, 63, said Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega’s exploding barbed wire deathmatch at All Elite Wrestling’s Revolution pay-per-view was the catalyst for the company’s birth.
Hidetaka Kajiki, owner of Japanese construction company Kofu-Field Co Ltd and FMW-E president, promised the company will have worldwide distribution. It remains to be seen what broadcasting deals FMW-E is able to secure.
FMW-E’s introductory press conference has been uploaded onto its YouTube channel, which can be watched on the link below. The first portion of the video has English subtitles until the 5:24 mark.

Whoever is Uploading These For Conrad (Maybe It's Conrad Himself) Must be a Total F'N Dipshit
First we have THIS story, that I posted yesterday (that NO OTHER Wrestling writer has had the balls to cover, I might add) Where they couldn't even get the NAME of the wrestler in the video correct (And they STILL, haven't gone sand corrected it even know the story on it is out there. Guess correcting their own mistakes is something that's "Beneath them" ).
https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/05/they-ssuurree-know-what-theyre-doing.html
Now, we have... THIS.. LMAO!
Who the fuck are The "Freebrids"? aaahahahahahahahaha..
I mean, seriously? You can't even get the NAME right now? Is someone really this fucking stupid?
Obviously, if you're seeing this.. The answer is, Yes.. Someone IS, just this stupid.
How is it that whoever is uploading these for Conrad Thompson can be so clueless that they get the wrong wrestler named in the title of a clip, but THEN, turn around and spell the name a a famous tag team incorrectly, and think it looks perfect?
How the hell is this fucking dumb? I keep asking but funny how nobody, wants to fess up and answer that question.
You just can't.. Make this kind of dumb shit up.
Conrad, are you the stupid one doing this dumb shit? If you are then maybe you need to hire someone who can do this correctly, because two mistakes in 24 hours sure makes YOU, look like a freaking dumb ass who doesn't know what he's doing.
But hey, if you like looking like a complete moron, go for it.. It seems to fitting you very nicely.
