Another "Mark" Gets 'Checked'- As Easy As 1-2-3
They just INSIST, on coming out of the woodwork. They also INSIST that they're right, even though when I call em out to prove it? They spend more time deflecting with excuses cause they know they're lying, than just proving me wrong and shutting me up. Why is it "Marks" ALWAYS reply the same way, with the SAME excuses? I already knew, when I said "Prove it" that this clown was gonna try and dance his away out of it. And sure as you can predict the sun to rise in the east, and set in the west? This ass clown did JUST that.
The reason why they spend so much time deflecting, or telling ME, to "go look it up" when it was ME, who called THEM OUT, to prove it? Is because as you'll see, there's no proof for them. But on the other hand, I provided proof which put them in their place.
Proof is, a mother fucker. And I'll ALWAYS be, the mother fucker who has the proof. That's just the way, the world is.
Here's where it starts and really, "Marks" should know by now that I ain't the one to come brace up on. Cause I'll make em look stupid, every time. BUT, they just can't learn that lesson, can they. :)
This latest moron claimed that Impact Wrestling has over one million viewers of their TV product. It's a lie and most people who are smarter than the "Marks" know this, as AEW actually had over a million viewers recently, and Impact can only dream about getting that many. but this moron claimed it. So I called him out on it and said prove it, as you'll see right here.
So after I call him out knowing he's lying his ass off? he does the so typical and yet predictable thing. He tells ME, to "go look it up".
If you have to me to "go look it up" after I call YOU out to supply proof? That's the most obvious sign in the world that you know you got busted and are too much of a bitch ass to admit you got caught lying.
After I said that what does he do? Does he go ahead and provide the proof to shut me up? OR does he just continue to reply with more excuses to try and cover up the fact he can't back up what he claimed because he was wrong to begin with?
As you'll see, he did the latter.
These are the number of people looking at my site, right now at 11:15 PM.
I'll keep saying, some day the "Marks" will become an actual challenge, or at least bring a credible argument when they try and call me out.
Someday wasn't yesterday, and it sure as hell, won't be today.. LMAO! Someday, but not today, LOL!

UPDATE ON JERRY LAWLER LAWSUIT OVER OVER DEATH OF BRIAN LAWLER
Here's an update on the status of the lawsuit WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler filed back in 2019 against Hardeman County, TN over the death of his son Brian "Christopher" Lawler in 2018 while incarcerated following a DUI arrest.
The lawsuit is still making its way towards a jury trial, which is currently slated for 5/23/2022.
In recent months, Lawler's attorneys have been taking the depositions of a number of the defendants and witnesses, including Sheriff John Doolen, who Lawler stated in the lawsuit had promised him that Brian would receive help for his addiction issues while incarcerated. Instead, Lawler alleged Brian was never provided with any sort of treatment while incarcerated. Jerry Lawler stated in the lawsuit that he felt betrayed by Doolen over that broken promise.
Jerry Lawler is seeking $3 million in damages, plus additional compensatory damages if the court sees fit to award them. Lawler is also seeking a court order forcing Hardeman County to force immediate changes to prevent any additional suicides of prisoners in Hardeman County custody, noting, "the order should require "Hardeman County to correct their unconstitutional deficiencies so that no other family has to go through what this family has had to endure over the past year."
Brian Lawler was taken off life support on 7/29/18 at the age of 46, one day after he was found hanging in his cell in Bolivar, TN, where he had been incarcerated after being arrest for DUI several weeks before.
The lawsuit alleges the Hardeman County Sheriff’s Office “failed to provide Brian with any treatment for his drug and alcohol issues” during Lawler’s incarceration and “altogether failed to provide him with appropriate care after he was assaulted by another inmate” the day of Lawler’s death. In the lawsuit, Jerry Lawler stated that the only reason he did not bail his son out was that he explained to the Sheriff Doolen that Brian needed help for addiction issues and was “promised” Brian would get the proper treatment for his personal issues. Instead, Brian was never provided with any sort of treatment while incarcerated. Jerry Lawler stated in the lawsuit that he felt betrayed by Doolen over that broken promise.
Lawler is also claiming negligence on behalf of the correction officers who were supposed to be supervising Brian Lawler. He is alleging that one officer saw Brian in the corner of his cell with a towel over his head, but instead of checking on the former WWE star, the officer ignored him, choosing to take garbage out instead. When the officer returned, he saw Christopher in the same position and, with a co-worker, finally checked on him. At that point, they became aware Christopher hung himself but even their attempts to rescue him were ill-prepared, as they used a pair of children’s scissors to attempt to cut him free.
Lawler alleged in the lawsuit that if the Hardeman County Sheriff’s office had been better prepared and had their staff immediately acted upon seeing Brian sitting in the corner with a towel over his face, Brian’s life may have been saved.
\The Lawler family has long disputed the idea that Brian’s death was self-inflicted.
Lawler’s lawsuit alleges that Hardeman County officials declined Brian Lawler’s requests to be taken to a hospital to be treated for a wound over his eye and ignored his concerns that he may have suffered a concussion. Instead, he was put into solitary confinement, where he was later found hanging. The lawsuit also alleged that Brian was never evaluated for suicide risk and that the cell he was placed in featured “Large bolts protruding from the cell [that] could be used as an anchor for the shoe laces used in the hanging”
So the case is still active.
Can "Marks" Be Any More Stupid? Well, Yes They Can Be.. Have A Look
I really don't have to state what started this which in the end agsain shows, that "marks" are dumb as fucking hell.
Especially when they try and walk back something they said, that you can SEE they said by looking five replies up. Maybe his selective amnesia had kicked in and he chose to forget what made him put his own foot in his mouth to begin with.
But this is the usual typical yet predictable things "Marks" do, every time they get busted and proven wrong. So this should come as no surprise. Look at how easy I put this guy in his place. No effort at all as he was indeed, 'checked'.
I keep saying that some day, the "Marks" will stop doing all the usual and typical responses and actually become a challenge when they try and brace me.
Someday, obviously isn't going to be today.

Moose Signs New Contract With Impact Wrestling
According to acouple outlets, Moose has signed a new deal with Impact Wrestling.
The amount of years or were undisclosed.
The 37-year-old has been with the company since the summer of 2016, making his debut at that July's Destination X during the World title match between Bobby Lashley and Eddie Edwards.
In the years that have followed, Moose (Quinn Ojinnaka) twice won the now-defunct Impact Grand Championship and the TNA World title that he lost to then-Impact World Champion Rich Swann in a title vs. title match earlier this year.
Up next for Moose is arguably the highest profile match in his career as he challenges current World Champion Kenny Omega at next month's Against All Odds on Impact Plus. Moose earned the shot by winning a six-way no. 1 contender's match at last Saturday's Under Siege.
The former NFL offensive lineman started training in 2012 and was signed by Ring of Honor in 2014 -- his home for two years before signing with Impact.

Tag Team Partners COLLIDE! (And THIS, Was Way Better Than The Men's Matches, "OOOO", Zing!) | IMPACT! Highlights May 20, 2021
The only gripes on this are. Why have tag team partners face each other in a singles match? This be from the file of "We have nothing else for you"? The "Creative' at Impact getting 'creatively challenged"?
And when Grace missed her 'Vader Bomb" and bounced hard on the mat, the whopping second and a half of 'selling' that miss was very obvious. I guess she wasn't properly trained in how to 'sell' misses like that. Maybe someone there should actually show her, how that's done.
Other than that, THIS MATCH blew away all the men's matches easily.
Great back and forth action. Nice technical wrestling from both competitors. None of that flip flop dumb ass acrobatic shit that nobody believes anyway.. And the announcers actually put in the time and effort to get a fan to be emotionally involved and interested in it.
Someone in charge at Impact should take notes from this because THIS, is how you get a match over. Impact should try doing more of this more often.
Sad part is, between this match and Tasha Steele's great 'selling' in a match I saw a few days ago.. The women are slowly blowing the men away when it comes to great performances.
Of course nobody at Impact will be paying attention to that, don't you know.
NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS in Shocking Finish (Not Really) | IMPACT! Highlights May 20, 2021
FinJuice defend the IMPACT Tag Team Championships against #1 contenders Ace Austin and Madman Fulton, but they can't possibly be ready for what comes next!
What comes next is the reasons why many people watch something other than Impact Wrestling.
Thankfully the 'selling' in this is way better than it usually is. Guess someone heard me when i said a few days back that Tasha Steele "sells" better than 98% of the wrestlers in all the major federations today. Guess someone in Management actually said "Hey, you guys actually have to 'sell' moves out there". Imagine that.
That leaping spin kick to Finley was so slow, HOW could Finley NOT, see that coming? (rolls eyes)
I think it's the way Impact presents their wrestlers that has me wondering "Why am I giving a shit about this match"? They do have a long, sad and bad habit of not presenting their wrestlers well.
And why is it it seems, every tag team, in Impact, AEW and WWE seem to do all the same kind of moves? Nothing really makes either of these two teams stand out, over any teas in AEW or WWE. Pretty much all doing the same ol same ol moves. BBOORRIINNNGG! Slater and Orton, Gordy and Snuka, Hell I watched a match from Japan that featured Kerry Von Erich and Dory Funk jr. as a tag team and all the teams I just listed, did stuff that stood out, even to this day you watch them old matches. Stand out way better than this crap here on Impact.
Sorry but someone has to tell the truth here. So I'll do it for you. You're welcome.
OOHH No, the Lame By Design, er.. Violent By Design have come out. "OOOOO" earth shattering moments here, NOT!
Love how Ryno and his partner stand on the ring apron and 'pose' like there's fans in the arena, LMAO! DUH, Dumb asses. Nothing like 'posing' for piped in cheers and boos, hahahahahahaha!
So now we have Ryno and Joe Doering (Yawn) challenging for the tag titles that Finley and Robinson just won. There's a minute and forty five seconds left in this highlight and I have a feeling, it's going to be a LLOONGG minute and forty five seconds.
I was right, it was. And Ryno's Gore on Juice looked so weak too, especially when Juice literally took three steps into it. Nothing like making it obvious, eh?
One of the commentators said "Ryno has such a legacy". He does? Yeah ok, if you say so.
And now you have Ryno and Doering as the NEW Impact tag Champions. ZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Here's the link, you're not missing much here, believe me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In0Yxexn_GE
Kenny Omega & Moose SQUARE OFF, And Boy, Is It Boring As Hell. | IMPACT! Highlights May 20, 2021
They really should get rid of that ridiculously stupid piped in fan noise. Everyone knows nobody is there, and as bad as this product continues to be you could see why, even if they COULD have fans there.. Why Nobody would be there.
Callis, the guy who has the "grab the remote and change the channel" kind of heat, says "There's nothing sadder on this earth, than wasted talent". This coming from a guy who has barely any talent. Yeah, nice call Hawkeye. Believe me when I say, MANY people are very happy that Don Callis no longer has a booking role in Impact Wrestling, many people.
How many world titles has Callis won? Zero, zip and nada one.. So this is another example of why Don Callis, should just, stay silent. he says so many stupid things. How anyone thinks Callis has great 'heat' is beyond me, he simply doesn't have it.. And the only one who doesn't want to realize that? is Don Callis.. Imagine that.
The back and forth between moose and Omega was so lame, and boring. That I can find an exchange between Paul Ellering and Ole Anderson from the 80's that would get over better than this weak shit.
And ol Sami Callahan coming in? ZZZZZZZZ. Of all the people on the roster HE, was the best choice to come into the ring when Omega's partners showed up?
Sorry but I don't see Sami as any kind of credible threat, to anything or anyone. He looks like a guy trying to 'play' pro wrestler, than actually BEING a pro wrestler.
But for the three people who want to fall asleep to this crap, here's the link.

Thank God, Now Maybe the Booking At Impact Will Improve As- Don Callis Is No Longer An Impact Executive
Don Callis is no longer working as a Co-Executive Vice President of Impact Wrestling, according to multiple sources. Let the celebrations begin.
It was reported today by a few sources and outlets that Callis is no longer an executive in any capacity for Anthem Sports & Entertainment or any of their brands, including Impact Wrestling. Callis remains with the company as a performer.
Callis reportedly officially finished up his Impact duties last month. He had slowly been decreasing his responsibilities outside of the Impact creative team for some time, going back to last year. Callis officially left the Impact creative team in April. Impact streamlined their creative team with Callis’ exit, and there are no current plans to replace him. It was noted that the nucleus of the current Impact creative team is Executive Vice President Scott D’Amore, Tommy Dreamer, RD Evans and Jimmy Jacobs.
Callis and Impact officials remain on good terms and this exit was not a dramatic one. He worked the most recent set of TV tapings, and will continue to appear as a manager for The Good Brothers and Kenny Omega, who is the current AEW World Champion, Impact World Champion and AAA Mega Champion. Omega and Callis only worked the first day of the recent Impact TV tapings as they filmed their content and were not there for the remaining three days.
There had been speculation on Callis’ status after he was removed from the Anthem corporate website this past weekend. Wrestling Inc. exclusively reported back in early December that Callis’ Impact contract was coming up in January of this year. It was speculated then that once he was done with Impact, Callis may move to AEW for a full-time gig as the manager of his friend Kenny Omega, who is the current AEW World Champion, Impact World Champion and AAA Mega Champion.
Regarding that speculation on Callis and AEW, word now is that he is expected to end up with AEW in a full-time role. However, there is no timetable for if and when that may happen.
It was noted that some within Impact were not surprised by Callis’ exit as D’Amore has pretty much led things since the beginning. Impact announced back in December 2017 that they had hired Callis as the new Co-Executive Vice President, to work alongside D’Amore. And his booking ideas had been dismal and a disaster in many fans' eyes from the beginning. Callis's claim that he was going to "Get rid of the silliness that has plagued Impact" proved to be wrong as he in turn started writing and booking the same kind of silliness he claimed he was going to get rid of. And every time he was called out on that very fact, he refused to answer and avoided the topic at every turn.
Maybe NOW, with him gone, the product can start improving. Kenny Omega (Callis's buddy) as Impact World Champion has proven that HE, isn't the improvement Impact really needs. lord knows though, Impact does need, some SERIOUS improvement.
THE DREAM IS OVER AS- VELVETEEN DREAM IS RELEASED BY WWE
Velveteen Dream has been released by WWE, confirmed by Several places.
Dream (Patrick Clark Jr.) was part of several NXT releases over the past two days. He hadn't competed in a match since December 2020, losing to Adam Cole on an episode of NXT. He had been used sparingly through the last four months of the year, wrestling just five times.
As of now, there is no news as to what caused his release.
Part of the sixth season of Tough Enough, the 25-year-old was signed by WWE in the fall of 2015 and competed under his real name for nearly two years. He debuted the Velveteen Dream character in the spring of 2017 and it quickly became a fan favorite.
He won the North American title from Johnny Gargano in early-2019 and held the title through September of that year, losing it to Roderick Strong after 231 days a champion.
As part of the Speaking Out movement last April that shone a light on sexual abuse and misconduct in the pro wrestling industry, he was accused of sending pictures to underage boys. More allegations arose in June, but he denied all allegations, saying, "A private photo of mine was shared without my consent or knowledge and I am working with a third party to look into this matter." He was also involved in a car accident around the same time in June that took him off TV.
Last August, Paul Levesque was asked about the allegations and said WWE looked into them and "there was nothing there," again saying the reason he was taken off TV was due to the car accident.
WWE has not publicly announced Clark's release.
WILL OSPREAY VACATES IWGP WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

The Following, Are Now UNEMPLOYED As They've Been Released By WWE (NXT)
WWE has released several NXT talents today.
Alexander Wolfe, who was just seen last night and was beaten down by Imperium. He had been formerly part of Sanity.
Skyler Story, formerly Ava Storie, who worked for EVOLVE and a number of Florida independents.
Ezra Judge, real name Ezekwesiri "EJ" Nduka Jr., a former arena football player and professional bodybuilder for the IFBB. He was signed in August 2019 after several tryouts.
Referee Jake Clemons, originally from the Ohio area, was released by WWE earlier today.
MMA Four Horsewoman member Jessamyn Duke. She was originally signed in 2018.
Vanessa Bourne - A former professional cheerleader who was initially trained at the Knokx Pro Academy under Rikishi. She was signed in April 2016.
Indian talent Kavita Devi, who worked the first Mae Young Classic in 2017 before being signed to WWE NXT in October of that year. She was among the first-ever Indian female talents ever signed by the company.
She last wrestled for the company in July 2019.
Devi was slated to wrestle earlier this year as the WWE Superstar Spectacle for the Indian market but had returned home to India to deal with a family matter. The original plan was for Dev to team with Charlotte Flair on the special. Instead, Sareena Sandhu was placed into a tag match against Bayley and Natalya.
Drake Wuertz, who had been with the company since March 2014 and at one point was the head WWE NXT referee, was released earlier today.
WWE claims the releases are because of "Budget Cuts", yet they've made a ton of money off of their deal with the Peacock Network, so this claim really does come off as pretty lame.
Why not just admit that your "Creatively challenged" creative department wasn't 'creative enough' to actually come up with something 'creative' for them, to do?
THAT, is more like the truthful reason, and they deep down inside? Know it.

Once Again Dave Meltzer Can't Post A Link Correctly, SSOO. I'll Do it For Him. (Someone PLEASE Show Him How it's Done)
Yes, again ol Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer web page has proven that he's incapable of posting a link to something on his own. Let me show you his latest debacle.
He posts a story about how the New York Post said that the match between Damien Priest And The Miz was "one of the saddest moments in WWE History. I mean here's the screen shot of him hyping it, right from his own web page.
But WHAT HAPPENS when you go and click on the link HE posted?
Well.. THIS, aaahahahahahahahahahaha.
DON KERNODLE PASSES AWAY AT 71
Mid-Atlantic mainstay Don Kernodle passed away at 71 years old Monday.
Reports are that his death was self-inflicted, but there are no other details available at this time.
"Kernodle was best known in the Carolinas as Sgt. Slaughter's tag team partner as one of the best and most underrated historical teams from the early 80s. Many consider the Slaughter & Kernodle cage match with Ricky Steamboat & Jay Youngblood in 1983 as the most important wrestling match ever in the Carolinas since its success in turning so many fans away led to the first Starrcade later that year where they the show was available via closed circuit around the territory."
The Burlington, North Carolina, native was trained by Ole and Gene Anderson and started his career in 1973.
Along with Mid-Atlantic, Kernodle appeared on several WWF cards co-promoted with the NWA in 1982-83. He eventually made his way back to the NWA and the Carolina indie circuit before retiring in 1986 and moving into law enforcement. He came out of retirement for a 1997 cage match before he and brother Rocky formed a tag team that worked for CWF Mid-Atlantic sparingly from 2002-06.
He won the Mid-Atlantic Tag Team titles twice with Jim Nelson (Boris Zhukov); the NWA World Tag Team titles three times (Sgt. Slaughter, Bob Orton Jr., Ivan Koloff) and the NWA World Six-Man titles with Ivan and Nikita Koloff. He also was a WWC Puerto Rican champion, WWC TV Champion, and an NWA Canadian TV Champion.
He was set to be inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame this July.

ECW Legend New Jack On Terri Runnels and a confrontation with Agent Eric Simms

Here's another thing on Eric Simms, something I bet he'll regret seeing come back and slapping him in the face.
The time he tried to threaten a dirt sheet writer over the phone, and got punked as a result.
