Freebirds vs. Butcher Vachon, Pete Doherty, Ron Shaw (MSG) Along With The Brisco's interview & match.( August 1984)
The Fabulous Freebirds (managed by David Wolff) vs. Butcher Vachon, Ron Shaw, and The Duke of Dorcester, Pete Doherty. 2 out of 3 falls. This match aired in August of 1984 on what was once WCW (GCW) after Vince McMahon bought the time-slot on WTBS that had long been the home to Georgia Championship Wrestling (and as World Championship Wrestling when its name changed in late 1982). This dark day in professional wrestling, July 14th, 1984, became known as Black Saturday. It was the first move in McMahon's desire to monopolize the wrestling industry, and control what programming and what wrestlers fans could see. After the match, Freddie Miller talks to the Brisco Brothers (who aided in the takeover) about the new line of wrestling. They then show a match of The Brisco's vs. Mike Starbuck and Pat Rose. WWF/WCW/GCW, August 1984.

WWE Wishes The Following The Best In Their Future Endeavors (Meaning They Had Nothing For Them)
WWE has come to their own terms on the releases of Braun Strowman, Aleister Black, Lana, Murphy, Ruby Riott and Santana Garrett by firing them.
Santana Garrett, who was announced as being released today by WWE, was slated to debut for Friday Night Smackdown,
Garrett had been planned to move to the main roster, similar to the recently released Vanesse Bourne, but never actually debuted and had been waiting for her official debut to actually be worked into the storylines.
Instead, she was cut today.
Lana had also been with WWE since 2013. She just wrestled on this week’s RAW, teaming with Naomi for a loss to Dana Brooke and Mandy Rose.
Black signed with WWE in 2016. He was away from the storylines for 6 months but just returned in April with new vignettes after being re-packaged on SmackDown. His big TV return came on the May 21 SmackDown and it looked like he was about to feud with Big E. They were held off last week’s SmackDown but it was reported that this was a creative decision to allow for some time before they did the follow-up. Black leaves a one-time WWE NXT Champion, and the 2019 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic winner with Ricochet. His wife Zelina Vega was released in late 2020 but was reportedly recently re-hired. There is no word yet on if WWE still plans to bring her back.
Riott also signed with WWE in 2016. She just competed on last Friday’s SmackDown, teaming with Liv Morgan for a loss to WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Natalya and Tamina Snuka.
Murphy signed with WWE in 2013 and leaves the company as a one-time NXT Tag Team Champion, a one-time WWE Cruiserweight Champion, and a one-time RAW Tag Team Champion. He last competed in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal in April. Before that his last singles match was a DQ loss to Cesaro on the March 12 SmackDown.
Garrett originally began working with WWE in 2013 and officially signed a contract in 2019 after making various appearances over the years. She last competed in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match in January, and before that her last singles match was the loss to Mercedes Martinez at NXT’s Great American Bash Night 2 in July 2020.
Black had just returned to TV with teaser vignettes for a re-package back in late April, after being away for six months with no explanation. He attacked Big E in late May, apparently to begin a new feud for the two, but they were held off last Friday’s SmackDown with no follow-up to the angle from the week before.
Black signed with WWE in 2016. He leaves the company a one-time WWE NXT Champion, and the 2019 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic winner with Ricochet.
There’s no word yet on if Black’s wife Zelina Vega will remain with the company. She was released in late 2020 after issues with the company, but recently brought back and there had been talk of WWE planning for her return to TV.
I guess the creatively challenged creative team couldn't creatively, create a plan for his return, Or any of the others that were released. so instead, they're probably hiding behind the "We have nothing for you" excuse. Which translated means the creative team isn't all that "Creative" to begin with.
And how can they claim "Budget cuts" as the excuse when the WWE just made a huge wad of cash with their recent deal with the Peacock Network? HHMMM. Funny how nobody wants to see or talk about THAT, eh? Business must be good if Nick Khan can buy san eight million dollar mansion in Los Angeles.
Guess there's no "budget cuts" for him if he can go and buy that. But he can sure 'budget cut' and fire others.
WWE wishes them the best in all of their future endeavors. (Yeah, sssuurree they do).

*Eluding a Police Officer.
*Contempt/Violation of a Domestic Violence Restraining Order.
Sytch was in court in New Jersey several weeks back but Nobody has been able to confirm the outcome of that hearing. PA revoking their order may mean that once Sytch's issues in the Garden State are resolved, she will not be required to travel to Pennsylvania for additional legal issues.

MLW: Never before seen backstage interview with Gary Hart, Low Ki and Homicide
RARE and EXCLUSIVE: After breaking Terry Funk's ribs following a grueling barbed wire match, Gary Hart's emerging stable of Low Ki and Homicide send a message to everyone in Major League Wrestling. This interview never aired on MLW Underground TV. Recorded: February 2004
"I thought it would be a good promo", Proving That Tony Khan And "Thinking" Don't Go Hand In Hand Very Well.
AEW President and CEO Tony Khan spoke with the media in a post-show scrum. He spoke on Double or Nothing as well as other topics.
When Khan was asked about his recent promo where he took shots at WWE President & Chief Revenue Officer Nick Khan, this was his response.
“I thought it would be a good promo, and so it made sense".
Well as most saw and spoke on after seeing it. It WASN'T a good promo. It actually showed why Khan should really refrain from doing any kind of promos, period. It was awful at best and didn't get over anything he was trying to accomplish.
If anything it showed he's an over sensitive little boy stuck in a man's body who can't accept the fact he's just a money mark 'playing' wrestling owner and doing an awfully bad job at playing the part.
Tony Khan was specifically addressing a report about WWE and NJPW having talks with one another on a possible working relationship. Khan explains why he chose to cut the promo.
“I talked to New Japan, and I asked them if they thought it would be a good idea for a good promo and they thought it was great".
Yeah sure they did. Prove it. Show us that conversation where they said it would be great for you, to go on camera and look like a complete idiot doing a promo that didn't get you, your company or anything else for that matter over. Let's see that proof Tonypoo. I'll wait. And I'll be waiting a long time for it, I bet.
I call bullshit on that claim and now that I'm calling Khan to prove it. You know he's not gonna, because simply? he can't. He has none. He just made that response up.
Too bad nobody in AEW has the balls to tell the boss that it'd actually be a GOOD idea if he kept his mouth shut, and stay off camera.
But as everyone knows, nobody in AEW, HAS them kind of balls.
You can see this lame shit Tony did, right here.

Another Week Goes By And Another Set Of 'Marks' Have To Be "Checked"
Every time I point out the obvious, I just 'know some 'mark', is gonna come marching up trying to brace me with some weak lame argument. needless to say this is becoming a weekly ritual as of late, and as usual. It takes very little effort to put em in 'check'.
They never seem to learn and they never can make it a challenge. Same ol react the same way kind of deal. The names of the "marks" may change but all of them always react and reply the same way, LOL.
So since they seem to insist on being put in their place? I'll oblige em since it's always so easy to do.
The first screen shot is of a clip from Jim Ross's podcast. On the clip he claims he doesn't remember who Big Bear Collie is. All he had to do was a quick what, 20 second search on YouTube and he'd find matches that HE, commentated on? How hard is that to accomplish? For Ross it must be hard, or he felt doing some actual research would be 'beneath him'.
So since he showed he was too lazy to do such a simple search, I did it for him. And lo and behold what did I find.
A match of Colie's that 'Good Ol J.R.' commentated on. DAMN that was just "sssooo hard" to do. (shakes head)
There he is, you see him there yourself. All J.R. had to do was a twenty second search and he'd not only see himself commentating the match, he THEN would've been able to see and ahem, 'remember' who Collie was.
Research could've been Ross's friend in this, but apparently laziness was his friend instead.
So after I posted my reply WITH the link as proof, since proof IS, a mother fucker and I'm always the mother fucker who can furnish proof.. I wondered how long it would take before some dumb ass "Mark" would come chiming in because I had the 'gal', the 'nneerrvvee' to prove Ross wrong.
It sure didn't take long, that's for sure, LMAO!
And it didn't take very long for me to put em in their place, right from the get go, like I always do.
As you see, not much effort at all and I always LOVE how they always say. "A duh, who gives a shit"? Every dumb fucking mark after they try and engage with me and see they're losing always tries to hide behind that weak response.
The answer is always obvious. YOU give a shit because if you really didn't give a shit, you would've kept your mouth shut, stupid. Funny how they always fail to realize that logic, every time.
And since the "Marks" I 'checked' will see this story, one of them will try the ol tried and true response of "UUHH DUH, nobody reads your blog". I love how when they see they indeed HAVE been 'checked'? They always try and hide behind that reply. So I'll go ahead right now and take that argument away from them before they can try to use it.
Actual number of people viewing my blog as of thirty seconds ago. Along with a screen shot of what those viewers are actually looking at, right at this moment.
Again, proof IS, a mother fucker.. And you can thank THIS mother fucker for always supplying the proof. :)
As I keep saying and will continue to say. Some day, the "Marks" will make it an actual challenge when they come and brace me. And stop using the same ol replies other "Marks" have tried and failed with.
Some day.. But obviously someday? Won't be today. :)

AEW RELEASES ANNOUNCER WILLIE URBINA FOR MOCKING HIKARU SHIDA'S ACCENT (What A Moron)
This, is what being a fucking dipshit gets you, Fired, LMAO!
All Elite Wrestling released Spanish language announcer Willie Urbina today. He can now "go mock" somebody else? SOMEWHERE ELSE.
The release came hours after audio of Urbina, apparently not aware his mic was broadcasting, mocked Hikaru Shida's accent during a conversation with other announcers as they were discussing who would handle the Spanish translation of Shida's promo for the last night's Spanish language broadcast of Dynamite, was shared by fans on social media. The audio clip became a major topic of discussion on Twitter and other social media platflorms overnight.
Urbina had previously worked for Impact Wrestling from 2006-2014 after breaking into the business for IWA Puerto Rico and Carlos Colon's World Wrestling Council. He has also done Spanish language announcing for New Japan.
Not aware his mic was still broadcasting, Urbina did a stereotypical accent in response to Shida’s promo, which she cut in English, during her title celebration.
Below are the comments that caused Urbina’s release, as translated in English by Luis Pulido:
Alex Abrahantes: “Do Shida.” (As in translate her promo)
Willie Urbina: Speaks incoherently using a stereotypical accent.
Thunder Rosa: “Shut up, holy crap!” (Laughs)
Willie Urbina: Continues on with accent.
Thunder Rosa: “I will throw the pen at you if you don’t stop.” (Said in a joking manner)
Dasha Kuret: “Stop it! You are mean.” (Seemingly addressing Urbina, sounding crossed about it)

What's Going On With The Rumor Of WWE And NJPW Working Together? Not Much (Rumor Killer For The "Marks")
There was a report earlier today from Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer about WWE reaching out to New Japan Pro Wrestling about a potential working agreement. Since that report began making the rounds, a number of readers are asking whether there is anything to it. Pretty much it's a no. So again, Meltzer gets it wrong (which for Meltzer, isn't that unusual).
Sorry "Marks", nothing 'huge' is gonna be happening any time son. So if you got your hopes up, They're now gonna be shot down.
Many have been told today by sources from each company that there have been communications between the two sides for several months but the main crux of it was over the potential of Daniel Bryan being able to potentially work some dates in NJPW. Whether anything has come from those discussions remain to be seen. Is it possible the two sides could build a bridge to each other? Sure, but if so, it's not happening right now and it's not something that has happened yet despite talking for some time off and on.
So, This is not a case where any sort of talks are about to lead to New Japan immediately pulling up stakes with their current working agreement or NJPW talents making some sort of shocking appearance on Raw. AEW's Jon Moxley has possession of the IWGP United States title, plus Yuji Nagata worked for them several weeks ago plus Roppongi Vice just reunited in AEW. Meanwhile, Satoshi Kojima just made his Impact Wrestling debut. Don't expect anything in regard to those promotions' relationships with NJPW to change anytime soon, if at all.
So nnaaa, nothing happening with NJPOW and WWE because NJPW has other working agreements.
Sorry to burst your bubble there, "Marks". But someone has to, so I'll be the one. You can thank me now. :)
Sami Callihan & Moose IMPLODE (And nobody Gave A Sh*t) vs Good Brothers! | IMPACT! Highlights May 27, 2021
Every time I see Callihan get in the face of someone I can't help but laugh out loud at him. I mean it's like he wants to be taken serious as a real tough guy sssoo bad, but I just don't see it. There's nothing he's ever done to have me look at him in that way. You just want to say "shoo fly, soo. Go play tough guy somewhere else cause you're a joke here".
Then you have the Good Brothers, who all the internet marks swore they were this 'legendary tag team', and at best I see them as just mediocre. Orton and Slater, Gordy and Hansen, Kernodle, those teams from back in the day still look better now, compared to the Good Brothers in my opinion.
Moose's spear on Callihan after the match, TOTALLY MISSED. And Sami still 'sold' it even though the camera shot saw that Sami didn't take the move properly. Absolutely atrocious in how Callihan did the bump from that move, atrocious as all hell which just validated everything I've been saying about Callihan.
Thanks Sami. Thanks for showing everyone in the world that if someone goes to spear you, you'll refuse to 'sell' it correctly, nice to know.
Thank God this highlight clip was short. I doubt I could watch the complete match it was this bad. But 'this bad' is what Impact Wrestling considers 'Good', LOL! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MNk5vi79bc
Decay Put On VIOLENT (By Rated G Standards Maybe) Display! | IMPACT! Highlights May 27, 2021
Decay put on a 'VIOLENT DISPLAY'? Where? Because it certainly wasn't in this match that's for sure.
Were there chairs being used? Nope. Someone going thru a table? NNAA. Someone being slammed face first into the ring bell? uh uh.. What about bull ropes, chains, cage, or thumbtacks, things decay WERE ONCE known for? Not, even close.
What we got was a bunch of acrobatic high spots, "selling" on the level of barely doing it, and another reason to grab the remote and change the channel instead. AAHHH yep, totally a 'violent display' in every aspect of the phrase, NOT!
Anthem Sports, Impact's owners owns AXS TV so they 'can't put some 'violence' on their wrestling company's show if they wanted to. Then again you have Tommy Dreamer, Mr. "Innovator Of Violence" (remember that nick name?) on the booking team in Impact. So with him there the obvious question, WHERE'S the violent display at?
Guess Dreamer, who HAS had violent matches in his career, was on a coffee break when it came time to lay this match out.
Then there's this 'gem' of commentary by Josh Matthews and D'lo Brown describing Black Taurus.
Josh: What's not to like about this man, He's got a cool mask, He's got moves like THIS..
D'Lo" AND HE'S GOT HORNS!!
YYEEAAHH, that sure gives me TONS of reasons to like the guy, because "HE'S GOT HORNS"! Absolutely, let me get 'right on' liking the guy because he has 'horns'.
Did Scotty D'Amore scream into D'Lo's headset telling him to say that? LOL.
And D'Lo can't even pronounce Taurus correctly. He fucked it up at least three times during the highlight clip I watched. Is it really that hard to pronounce the word "Taurus"? Just curious.
That MLW Underground show featuring Samoa Joe vs Mike Awesome I'm gonna be watching soon is looking better and better with every moment thanks to crap like this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34sbs09yptw
KOJIMA DEBUTS (And Most fans Have No Clue Who he Is) , Violent By Design ON NOTICE! | IMPACT! Highlights May 27, 2021
The thumbnail that one sees when you see this video listed has a picture of KOJIMA with the b ig graphic of "HE'S HERE"!
Most fans don't know who he is so most are saying "He's here? Who cares"? Or "He's here? So what".
That's how much thought process went into Impact actually working to 'build up' his debut.
I guess putting together a great package of highlights featuring wins over major names in Japan, or even Joe Doering in JAPAN, along with a promo of sorts announcing and him hyping his debut would've been a good idea to do. But THAT, would "Make way too much sense" and god forbid people at Impact would actually want to put in that much work to get someone who's supposed to be, 'that big a star' over.
Nothing like watching lazy booking and hyping, I tell ya.
Eric Young in describing Ryno says and I quote (Get this), "The man with the most violent instincts in this business, has returned". HHMM, But what about ol 'Death Machine' Sami Callihan? I guess he doesn't count all of a sudden? Sami IS (according to Sami mind you, just ask him and he'll tell you). If you're supposed to go by actual 'logic' in wrestling (and the three 'major' companies in this country obviously don't because having logic means too much work for them) Then a 'Death machine' would certainly have more 'violent instincts' than an out of relevance Ryno.
Obvious gaps like this is something Impact bookers SHOULD be pointing out. But as you can see, they don't or just are too lazy to. Too bad nobody has the balls to ask why that is.
HAD there been some one in Impact Wrestling with true knowledge of what booking 101 really is, right after Eric Young said that? Send Sami out there to say something like "whoa whoa whoa How can you say that when I'M, the Death Machine". That would've made more sense. But I guess the booking team at Impact don't care if something makes sense or not, eh? "Fuck logic, we have other things to do" must be the mentality there.
I wonder of this Violent By Design, looking pretty lame is "by design' as well. Asking for a friend. :)
Thank God I'll be watching the MLW Underground show featuring Samoa Joe vs Mike Aweome after reviewing these highlights. Because THAT SHOW, will easily blow away anything Impact Wrestling has done in over a year.. Sad, but those are the true facts. Maybe Impact's bookers should watch that show, they might learn something. Just a hint, that you know they're gonna ignore.
So after all this what do we get? We get Kojima coming to the ring and doing what EC3 did in Ring Of Honor.. Three word promo.
Problem is? EC3 saying "You've been warned" compared to Kojima saying "Against all odds" was 100 times better.
Imagine that.
Knockouts Division EXPLODES! (Not Really)| IMPACT! Highlights May 27, 2021
Havok kicks Suzi three times and Suzi barely 'sold' them. The third kick was an absolute "no sell". Suzi's smaller than Havok and she just stands there, "no selling"? I guess I'm the only one who sees something wrong with this picture. Like TJP, Suzi needs to go back to wrestling school and be properly trained in the art of 'selling'. She surely has no clue how to do it correctly. Or, she just doesn't want to.
Maybe Suzi should watch how Rosemary, Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steele "sell" and take notes, because that's, how it's done. Hell just watch how they do it here in this match, and learn from that.
Why is "Selling" such a hard thing for this current era of 'wrestlers' to grasp? And why is it every time I ask one of those wrestlers, they can never give me an answer? HHMMM.
So let me get this straight, all these women are fighting with each other to get shots at the Knockouts title and tag titles, so let's here's a 'great idea' (rolls eyes), let's put all of them together willy nilly in a ten woman tag team match. No rhyme or reason why, no real build up for them, just throw the match together and see how it comes out.
Gotta love this "Throw oatmeal against a wall and hope it sticks' kind of booking logic that Impact has here.
This was a total fucking mess at best. Which is something Impact booking is known for. So at least they're consistent with that.
W. Morrissey's "Whining' But Not, "CHILLING" Message to Pro Wrestling! | IMPACT! Highlights May 27, 2021
I watched this three times and each time I kept asking, "Where's the "CHILLING message at?
It must've been when Rich Swann came out of nowhere and kicked him in the face, LMAO!
Morrissey sounds like a rejected boyfriend here. I have ex-girlfriends who whine and bitch way better than this. Maybe I should send him their way so that way he can take notes from them.
Nothing CHILLING here. If you want chilling then try Gary hart putting Abdullah The Butcher over, Try old Mad Dog Vachon interviews, or maybe Kevin Sullivan promos in Florida. THOSE were "Chilling", This crap here? Not even, in the area code of CHILLING.
Better luck next time. :)
X-Division Champion SHOCKED (No He Wasn't) in tag Team Battle! | IMPACT! Highlights May 27, 2021
Josh Alexander doing this "Poor Man's Kurt Angle" routine is pretty laughable. I guess if you can't get the REAL Kurt Angle, just have someone try and BE LIKE, Kurt Angle, LMAO!
Love how after Josh tags Petey Williams in Fallah Bahh "Holds" his hand out for Petey to take it for the double whip into the ropes. Can you make it ANY MORE OBVIOUS?
I bet he could.
Josh Matthews says "Josh Alexander RUNS thru TJP". No moron, he dove at him. Anybody watching this saw that's, what it was. How is he "running thru" TJP when he's already in mid-air, stupid.
Petey going against TJP shows that Williams knows how to "Sell" while TJP obviously wasn't trained correctly when it comes to that. Someone should really sit down with TJP and explain to him what "Selling" is all about. And why he should actually start doing MORE of it.
So since the headline for this highlight said "X Division Champion SHOCKED", exactly HOW was he shocked?
Guess what people, He wasn't 'shocked'.
Maybe the moron that uploads these highlights should try and come up with something more realistic for the titles, because there was no "SHOCKED" look on Alexander's face at all.
Nice try though.
Here's the link if you really want to endure this nonexciting match.
Good Brothers On MOOSE'S Side?! (Does Anybody Really Care?) | IMPACT! Highlights May 27, 2021
As usual let's make it obvious that the fan noise is piped in. I love how Impact doesn't even TRY to hide that fact, they could mind you, but their attention to details and logic has always been terrible at best.
So now we have Sami Callihan, the guy who looks more like he's 'playing wrestler' than being an actual pro wrestler, sitting in the ring for an "award winning" (note the sarcasm) promo. Maybe I should go take a shit because the sound of my toilet flushing will absolutely be better than this promo, I'm sure.
Sami really should go to Monikers R Us and get a new nick name because nobody, and I mean NOBODY buys this "Death Machine nic name he gave himself. I find myself laughing out loud every time he calls himself that, Laughing and saying "Yeah right, okay". I mean seriously, you hear Sami call himself the "Death Machine", then look, actually LOOK, at Callihan and how can not laugh? Maybe if he was playing the old IWA play by wrestling mail game he'd be convincing, but not here on TV. Sorry, nobody buys it.. Nobody.
"You can plan, for a guy like Moose, You can plan, for a guy like Rich Swann, but you can't plan for me" That's what he says. Wanna bet we can plan? Plan for a long boring time, plan to leave the room and make dinner, plan to grab the remote and change the channel until your segment is over, there's plenty of options and 'plans' there Sami, Dumb ass.
The only decent part of ALL the talking on this? Was when Moose was in the ring.
The "Good Brothers" have proven again this week why they're not good when it comes to promos. As much as i hate scripted promos, maybe these two should be exception. Maybe some one on the booking committee like Tommy Dreamer should write their promos for now on cause this really sucked ass. Maybe their so "Used to" having someone write their promos for them that they actually don't know HOW, to do a promo on their own.
Moose setting it up for both he and Sami to brawl with the Good brothers was really good.
Sad that with all those guys in the ring, Moose was the only one who truly stood out when it comes to mic work. Of course you know, higher ups in Impact won't take notice of it.. Or.. They'll ignore that obvious fact altogether.
Here's the link if you really insist on watching a lot of boring stuff leading to a good brawl. Then again, fast forward could be a good friend as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JYIROhvh4k
