More WWE Stupidity As Announcers Reportedly Not Allowed To Acknowledge Bron Breakker As Rick Steiner’s Son
Just like they've done with other second generation wrestlers the WWE stupidity has struck again in the name of dumb asses with this.
Breakker is the son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner. However, he was not acknowledged as a second-generation superstar nor were Rick and Scott ever named.
It's been reported and noted that the announcers were not allowed to say Rick Steiner’s name. Vic Joseph, however, did get in the line “Dog Faced Gremlin” as a reference to Rick Steiner.
If that isn't one of the DUMBEST things ever, seriously.
Instead of improving their shows or having their creatively challenged creative department actually 'create' something fans wanna actually watch, they do this kind of dumb shit instead.
It was noticeable that Brooks Jensen, the song of Bull Buchanan, was refereed to a second-generation star, though Bull Buchanan was also not referred to by name. Jensen made his debut tagging with Josh Briggs.
Gotta love the WWE and the dumb shit they keep on doing.
Jury Trial Set For Buff Bagwell
Former WCW and WWE star Marcus “Buff” Bagwell says WWE has denied his request for rehab. (Yeah, OOOOKK)
Back in May how Bagwell was arrested where he lives in Cobb County, Georgia after leaving the scene of an accident he was involved in. He was facing numerous charges, on top of charges he was facing from an August 2020 accident that he had an arrest warrant out for at the time of the May incident. You can click here for the report on Bagwell’s May arrest, which includes his mugshot photo.
In an update on the criminal and traffic cases against Bagwell, Cobb County court records show that he is scheduled to face multiple charges for the August 2020 incident and the May 2021 incident on Thursday, November 18 at 9am. Bagwell is scheduled to appear in front of Judge Carl W. Bowers for a jury trial.
The jury trial will see Bagwell face the following charges that day, according to court records – from the May 2021 arrest: Giving False Name/DOB/Address, Open Container, Hit & Run/Duty of Driver, Following Too Closely, No License on Person. From the August 2020 arrest: DUI Marijuana/Controlled Substance, DUI Drugs/Any Combination 1-3 Less Safe, DUI Drugs Misdemeanor, DUI Drugs Misdemeanor, Reckless Driving, Speeding, Following Too Closely, Hit & Run/Duty of Driver, Failure to Yield Right of Way Intersection, Hit & Run/Duty of Driver, Strike Fixed Object, Driving Wrong Side of Road, Crossing Gore Area/Drive In Emergency Lane.
In more news on Bagwell, the veteran pro wrestler recently launched his “Rebuilding Buff” podcast with co-host Michael Long. Buff’s new “Stars & Stripes” episode included a discussion where he said WWE has denied his request for rehab after he reached out for help.
Bagwell indicated that he had help from WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page in making the request, and that Page was shocked over WWE denying him. Bagwell also expressed interest in getting better so that he can potentially get work with AEW.
“You ready for this one? WWF [WWE] turned me down on going to rehab,” Bagwell said. “I want to put that in your head and let you run with that, and just think about Scott Hall going 4 and 5 times, that crazy, crazy, crazy ass girl, that Dustin Rhodes was married to, that went 5 and 6 times. Not to mention Road Dogg… you kidding me? You think he went once? They went every time they could, I ask once and they deny me. They deny me, bro. Here I am trying to get better, I’ve come to them, on what they want me to do, which is get better, and it’s not like I’m off the chain.
“I mean, I’m in shape, you can tell by my body. I’m in shape, I’m at the gym every day. I feel great and all that but still, you know, I could use something like that to get my life completely straight up, and a company like AEW could take me for real, you know? And that’s where Dallas is really behind this thing, is more like, look, he goes, ‘You’re a great guy, it’s just nobody thinks nothing’s wrong with you because you look great, you sound great, but you don’t act like it, you need help. You need help.’ And I said, ‘I agree, I agreed with you, I’m with you.’ But what do you do when the WWF, out of all of those drug addicts I just talked about, from Jake Roberts to Scott Hall, down the list. If they get mad about me saying they’re drug addicts, then they’re just idiots because we all were drug addicts, and if they’re willing to say that, then so be it. They can be proud enough to say that if they want to, but it’s not the truth. The truth is, they turned me down.”
Bagwell’s co-host pointed to how “Road Dogg” Brian James took shots at WWE every chance he could, but the company was still there for him.
“Three letters,” Bagwell responded, laughing when his co-host named Triple H. Bagwell added, “That’s my boy. That’s my boy, Triple H, baby.”
Bagwell continued, “I worshiped Road Dogg, we are great friends. We gotta call a spade a spade when it’s time to call a spade a spade, and calling a spade a spade is, he… you know, they have said no to me when they have said yes to major drug addicts.”
Bagwell’s host recalled how he’s worked on a podcast with Justin Credible in the past, and had to call a WWE employee who handles rehab for former talents, to get Credible set back up in rehab after finishing stints in jail. Bagwell’s host couldn’t recall the name of the man, but Bagwell chimed in and named Bob Killar of the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services, a WWE consultant and addiction specalist who was/is one of the people running WWE’s rehab program for former talent. Bagwell’s co-host noted how WWE always helped Credible, no matter how many times he no-showed rehab. Bagwell continued and talked about how rehab would at least “get the doctors off” him, adding that “the chase” is tiresome and absolutely horrible.
“I want you to take this part of what I’ve told you and put it in your brain that is so smart, and I want you to play with this for a while, and think about it because it’s really unbelievable,” Bagwell continued. “A guy that came from WCW as one of the top talent guys, that did nothing wrong except didn’t do what they said was… they read the computer and believed it, and still would not give me the benefit of the doubt of, ‘Look, here I am, I’m willing to go in and make sure that everything’s fine,’ And if nothing else, man just to get the doctors off me. Just the chase, it’s tiresome, it’s horrible. It’s absolutely horrible, the chase. And they came back with, no. Dallas Page called me up and goes… because keep in mind, first he was like, ‘Hey bro, yo bro this and bro that, and bro this, and bro that,’ And all of a sudden he went, ‘I can’t believe they turned you down. I can’t believe it.’ They, hey… first time ever asking!”
Bagwell continued and recalled how he wrestled WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, who was then the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, at the July 2, 2001 RAW from Tacoma, Washington. That main event ended in a No Contest. Bagwell also wrestled Booker on the July 1 WWE live event from Spokane, and these were his only WWE appearances.
“I wrestled Booker T in the first match of The Invasion, with 25 stitches in my head,” Bagwell recalled.”They had to get a Sharpie and Sharpie in where they shaved my head before I did the match. So I’ve got 25 or 30, I can’t remember what it was, 25 or 30 staples in my head, and they lay out this thing where they’re going to beat Booker up, me join in, and then throw us both out the back, and we knew right there it was over, it’s just the fans didn’t.
“We knew right there that, wait a minute, why wouldn’t we wait until one week and put Booker T and Buff Bagwell as the main event in Atlanta, Georgia, and they didn’t wait, they shoved it down their throats in Tacoma, to make us look like trash, and it worked, and it worked. It made us look like we were the bad guys, and ‘Hey, we gave those guys a shot, hey it didn’t work out.’ So be it, it didn’t work out.”
There is no word on exactly when Bagwell asked for rehab, or if he used DDP to make the request, but we will keep you updated. It seems like this was a fairly recent request, according to Bagwell’s comments and posts on social media.
My Story On Mr. Hannibal/Bloodhunter Apparently 'Struck A Nerve' And This Is Hannibal's Reaction To The Truth Hurting (Updated 9-16-21 @ 10:00pm)
Well it looks like the story on Hannibal getting 'checked' and put in his place by the powers that be at SWE Fury struck a nerve. In the story I did yesterday which you can see here... https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/09/swe-responds-to-hannibalbloodhunters.html I pretty much called out Hannibal/Bloodhunter/ Devon Nicholson out for nothing but a whiney baby who was bitching on YouTube because he got 'future endeavored' by SWE.
And wouldn't you know who was right on that fact? Thanks to ol Hannibal's himself, his actions have proven me to be correct.
The story I did yesterday featured not only SWE's official statement which put all of 'Hannibal's' bitching to shame but also featured these videos.
Earlier today Hannibal/Bloodhunter/Devon went into panic mode when he found this story was written. because if you click to the links to those videos?
THIS is what happens.
Devon? Devon buddy what happened? What's the matter? Why'd you quickly and suddenly make those video "private" for?
If you were so sure you were telling the truth and had nothing to hide? YYOOUU wouldn't have suddenly made them videos 'private', LMAO!
I also know for a fact that Herb Simmons, owner of SICW and the owner of World Class pro Wrestling (two companies you claim to be 'sponsoring' in some form or fashion) contacted you about the story I did yesterday. You can't say bullshit cause I HAVE the correspondence from Herb Simmons to prove you wrong, so don't even try it unless you want to humiliated even further.
I'm sure them contacting you had ALOT to do with you changing the status of those videos. You were acting like a guy who's jealous because SWE found a better partner to work with in Booker T and the fact they kicked you to the curb can't be argued by you. No matter how many videos you make whining and bitching about it. In the end SWE showed they can and will be doing better, WITHOUT YOU. And I'm sure Mr. Bostic and Mr. Simmons got quite concerned when they read my story and saw how much of jack ass you were acting like.
Seriously, who'd want to business with you when you couldn't present real facts other than you complaining on YouTube?
So not only did SWE put Hannibal/Devon in his place? I.. Also 'checked' him as well with the story I wrote yesterday.
Again, if he thought he wasn't 'checked'? He never would've made them videos 'private'. So he knows he got put in his place.
Devon, how's it feel to know got 'checked' TWICE in twenty four hours by two different people?
The truth 'Hannibal/Bloodhunter' will always outshine you whining on YouTube, that's just the way? The world is.
Update 10:00 PM
If you really wanna see how Hannibal/Devon has turned real chickenshit on this deal since I showed how SWE "Checked' him? Check out this video he did three hours ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wblzDP07WKY
At the end of it when THIS statement comes up, you can hear Devon?Hannibal/Bloodhunter QUICKLY go and side step, or back step from talking about it now LMAO!
His quick backing off of it is a very typical yet predictable cop out when one knows, he got 'checked'.
So he indeed now knows, he WAS, 'checked'. and I'm one of the people you can thank for doing that.
You're welcome. :)

Jazz's 'Retirement" In Impact Wrestling Must've Been A Fluke Because NOW, She's 'Retiring' At...
This show...
First she announces her 'retirement' on Facebook. Then a week and a half later she 'unretires' herself and gets booked in Impact Wrestling where THEY, gave her a 'retirement match' and couldn't even to THAT stipulation correctly.
I covered that fuck up here. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/04/jazzs-emotional-retirement-ceremony.html
So now that she 'retired' in Impact Jazz is gonna go and 'retire' again, this time at the upcoming Atomic Revolutionary Wrestling show.
I mean Jesus Christ, how many fucking company's is she gonna 'retire' in?
THIS right here is a great example of why, fans don't take stipulations seriously or even believe em. Wrestlers like Jazz go out of their way to make a joke out of them.
After Jazz 'retires' from this company, what's the next company she gonna 'retire' in?
The fact that ARW is even DOING a 'retirement match' KNOWING she already did the 'retirement' gig over at Impact shows how dumb whoever owns ARW seems to be.
I guess when 'marks' own a company. they don't really pay attention to what's happening in other wrestling companies.
Watch, as soon as Jazz 'retires' in ARW, she'll be announced as 'retiring' somewhere else.
And when it DOES happen? You can bet I'll be right here, making fun of that one too.

SWE Responds To Hannibal/Bloodhunter's Whining And Puts Him In His Place (Hannibal's Been "Checked")
After posting the following stories on Hannibal, https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/09/hannibal-on-teddy-long-asking-him-to.html and https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/09/hannibal-continues-his-whining-about.html
Hannibal AKA Bloodhunter AKA Devon Nicolson whining about the SWE group based in Texas, someone sent me a message noting that SWE has smacked back on Hannibal/Devon. And what my gut feeling is when I listened to Devon's ranting is actually true.
Hannibal/Bloodhunter/Devon is just acting like a disgruntled employee because his 'services were no longer needed' by SWE and he got "Future Endeavored', LOL!
And since there's always two sides to every story, What SWE posted on their FB page pretty much puts all of of Devon's rantings to shit.
They chose to have work with Booker T, who owns Reality of Wrestling and IS, more 'local' seeing as BOTH companies ARE located in Texas. Plus seeing as Booker T does have a weekly show right where he has his training facility, why would a company continue to have someone based all the way the FUCK in Canada help supply talent, etc. when Booker has access to talent, local and other wise? It beats having to fly Devon in every show and pay that extra expense when you can have a working agreement with another well known and long running independent wrestling company right in your own state?
Simple economics Devon.. Working with Booker T has way more advantages than working with you, and YOU Devon are whining like a fucking baby because you got cast aside for something that's more better and more beneficial for SWE. So you trolling SWE's FB page for reason to continue you ranting and whining just shows SWE obviously made the right decision in sending you on your way.
So Devon, since you got 'checked' by SWE I may as well show people how you have been put in your place. proof is, a mother fucker and I'm always the mother fucker who has proof, so here's proof that Hannibal got 'checked'.
But WAIT! There's more..
Yeah Hannibal, looks like you got "owned" by what SWE had to say. They exploited you and at this point you're just crying like a bitch because SWE found a better deal than you, and Booker T and the talent he trains is much more 'safer' in the ring, than you.
At this point Deven/Bloodhunter you should just stay silent and stop crying and bitching like a fucking baby.
Stick to doing your daily news and Wrestling Observer reports. That's about all you're good for for the 'marks' who think, you're 'something'.
SWE laid out their side in great detail and all you've done? is whine on YouTube, LMAO!
Who do you think people are gonna believe? A well detailed response, or you bitching on YouTube?
Figure it out stupid, the answer is obvious and has already been figured out for you. YOU just can't or are incapable of accepting it.
You should be spending your time on 'sponsoring' Herb Simmon's SICW and the new World Class promotion over being a crybaby on YouTube.
It makes you wonder, if the owners of both those companies you're 'sponsoring' saw how you're acting, you'd think they smarten up and 'future endeavor' you like SWE did?
If they were smart? They would.

The Ruination, Er, I Mean "Changes" At NXT Have Started (This is How it Starts, Bet You It Gets Worse From Here)
Kevin Dunn is at tonight's WWE NXT TV taping to personally oversee the USA Network broadcast. Yeah like that's going over well.
Going forward, everything will be described as "NXT 2.0" on camera (rolls eyes). They intend to emphasize that this is a newer NXT hard. Kind of hard not to see that it is, dumb asses.
Paul Levesque is understandably not at today's taping.
As of an hour ago, Samoa Joe is not there.
The show script has changed a "ton" of times over the course of the day. Gee, how "Vince McMahon" is that? That right there tells you, being in NXT going forward is NOT, gonna be a fun place to be. They can't or WON'T stick to the script so let's change it many times on whoever in power has a 'whim', instead of playing whatever angles have been planned out? Franky Monet vs. NXT Women’s Champion Raquel Gonzalez was pulled from the show for unknown reason is an example.
The fact that wrestlers making a name for themselves DREAM of being in this kind of bullshit chaotic mess really still astounds me.
The CWC name will not be used in reference to the WWE Performance Center on NXT programming moving forward with tonight’s NXT 2.0 reset episode. The current plan is to refer to the venue as just the home of NXT. (AAYY YYAAYY).
Regarding tonight’s NXT 2.0 taping, there is said to be a lot of trepidation among the wrestlers, There had already been a lot of stress & concern among the wrestlers after the last round of NXT releases due to the feeling that wrestlers who “did everything they were supposed to” and/or were “great talents” were released, leaving some of the remaining wrestlers feeling as if everyone was now on thin ice, and that even if they did the right thing, it didn’t matter and that their runs could be over at any point, with no notice. While that has always been true, there was previously a feeling that talents were in somewhat of a “protective cocoon” thanks to Triple H
But that feeling is no more now that Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard have decided to get their grubby hands on this brand.
The call-time for tonight’s NXT TV taping was moved up earlier than usual because it’s the first live broadcast in several weeks, and with everything planned, including pre-tapes, they needed everyone there and ready to go. There’s a concern among some talents over the fact that Triple H will not work the taping as he’s recovering from his recent heart surgery. There was a feeling among some wrestlers that they didn’t know if it was going to be Triple H’s regular crew running the show, or other higher-ups.
Obviously with Kevin Dunn there, that question has been answered. The higher ups who have no experience writing or booking NXT are doing the show.
There is a great sense of unease among the wrestlers as they wait, like everyone else, to find out exactly what the brand is supposed to be moving forward with this revamp. We noted before how officials were being very tight-lipped with wrestlers who had asked about what is planned.
And since the script has been changed so many times, even the officials seem to have no ideas what's being planned.
Aren't you "NXT Marks" real 'excited about these new 'changes'? LOL.
The atmosphere has been described as "weird" by talents who've been asked about it.
YYYEEAAH I bet it is, I just BET, it is.
Welcome to the NNEEW NXT, LMAO!

TRIAL FOR FORMER TNA STAR RHAKA KHAN LIKELY PUSHED BACK AGAIN
Court records indicate that the a motion hearing is slated for 10/12 regarding the trial for former WWE developmental and Impact Wrestling star Trenesha Daniyall Biggers aka Rhaka Khan before the 409th District Court in El Paso, Texas on charges of interference with child custody and "aggravated kidnapping facilitate."
The trial, which has been pushed back multiple times, is still listed as commencing on Friday 9/24/21 at 8 AM, but one would think the motion means that date will be postponed. The trial has already been pushed back several times, likely due to the slowdown in the court system brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biggers was indicted on the charges in August 2019, leading to her being listed as one of El Paso’s most wanted fugitives after failing to appear in court. There are two court instances where her no-shows led to her bail being revoked. She was finally arraigned in December 2019. Biggers is being represented by a public defender.
In the State of Texas, interference with child custody is when someone "takes or retains a child when that person knows that the taking or detention of the child violates a judgment or order." It is considered a state jail felony and can be punishable by up to two years in prison.
Biggers last wrestled in 2011 for the now-defunct Lucha Libre USA promotion, which aired on MTV. Biggers was part of the 2005 WWE Diva Search and was signed to a developemental contract after failing to make it past the top 25 contestants in the search. She was sent to Deep South Wrestling but was released in May 2006. She worked for a number of independent promotions and in Japan before signing with Impact Wrestling in 2008, departing that promotion in 2009. She worked for Lucha Libre USA in 2010 and 2011.
Biggers released the following videos in the wake of her arrest:
UPDATE ON IWTV VS. GCW LAWSUIT, GCW FILES MOTION TO DISMISS
An update on the breach of contract lawsuit Pennsylvania-based independent wrestling streaming service IndependentWrestling.TV (IWTV) filed beore the United States District Court
Middle District of Pennsylvania (Scranton) last June against Game Changer Wrestling, alleging that GCW broke an agreement for IWTV to carry their events as part of IWTV's streaming service.
On 8/30, GCW filed a motion to dismiss, claiming that IWTV has failed “to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.”
The Times-Leader in Pennsylvania reported back in June that the lawsuit alleges the two sides entered into an agreement in March of 2020 but by December, GCW informed IWTV they would be "breaching" the deal and have since held 36 PPV events, a "violation of the signed agreement" of the two sides. The lawsuit alleges GCW has damaged IWTV "in excess of $500,000."
In a 100-page filing on 9/13 before the law, GCW argued their side of the argument, pushing for a dismissal, stating:
Plaintiff Independent Wrestling.TV (“IWTV”) alleges that Defendant Game Changer Wrestling, LLC (“Game Changer”) breached the terms of a distribution agreement. IWTV brought this suit to recover the profits it claims to have lost as a result of this alleged breach.
Assuming for purposes of this motion that the contract on which IWTV relies was not procured under highly problematic circumstances evidencing fraud and duress (and it was), the very distribution agreement upon which Plaintiff relies—one which was drafted by IWTV without any input from Defendant Game Changer—includes a limitation of damage provision that expressly prohibits recovery of lost profits. Because IWTV has failed to allege any other viable theory of damages, its claim for breach of contract must be dismissed. IWTV’s claim for “detrimental reliance” is similarly deficient.
IWTV’s claim fails because it has not adequately alleged any of the elements—a promise, reliance, injustice, or substantial damages stemming therefrom. In any case, a party cannot evade the application of a clear contractual limitation on damages—especially here where that was drafted without the input of the defendant counterparty—simply by restyling its breach of contract claim.
The promise on which Plaintiff relies is one purportedly made in the contract itself, and subject to all of the same restrictions. What’s more, IWTV failed to plead (as it must) that it actually relied to its detriment on any purported promise. For these reasons, the claim for detrimental reliance must also be dismissed.
Game Changer Wrestling claims their agreement with IWTV was to provide one live stream per month. They also argued that their contract with IWTV states that the contractual agreement between the two sides prevents each from being liable for the other’s lost profits, stating:
But Game Changer is not liable for IWTV’s alleged lost profits. The Distribution Agreement, drafted exclusively by Plaintiff IWTV, could scarcely be more explicit about this: “Neither party shall be liable to the other for any indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data or use incurred by any party, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.” Dist. Agreement § 11(c) (emphasis added). So IWTV cannot recover damages based on its lost profits. And because the Complaint does not allege any other form of injury suffered by IWTV, that leaves it without the crucial element of damages.
GCW also argued that the allegation that they breached the confidentiality of their contract with IWTV, arguing:
Apparently recognizing that the limitation on damages would prevent recovery for lost profits, IWTV has conclusorily asserted that Game Changer “breached section 8 of the Distribution Agreement by revealing and publicizing the terms of the Distribution Agreement to other promoters.” Compl. ¶ 21. As noted above, the bar on recovery of lost profits does not apply to a claim that either party has breached its contractual confidentiality obligations. But this transparent attempt to perform an end-run around the damages’ limitation clause fails for three separate reasons. First, “[c]onclusory allegations” with no factual support to show their plausibility “are insufficient to survive a motion to dismiss.”
Plaintiff claims that Game Changer breached the “Distribution Agreement by revealing and publicizing the terms of the Distribution Agreement to other promoters.” See Compl. ¶ 21. That is the entirety of Plaintiff’s allegation of this breach. Plaintiff does not include a single fact to support this naked assertion. Where, as here, Plaintiff pleads no facts “to move these claims ‘across the line from conceivable to plausible,’” the allegations are not sufficient to survive a motion to dismiss. Golod v. Bank of America Corp., 403 F. App’x 699, 703 (3rd Cir. 2010) (quoting Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 680 (2009)).
Secondly, even if Game Changer had breached its confidentiality obligations, IWTV has still failed to plead damages flowing from that breach. Again, the Complaint only claims damages in the form of lost profits, but nowhere does the Complaint even attempt to allege how Game Changer’s disclosure of certain contractual terms had somehow caused IWTV to lose profits. And without such a causal connection between breach and damages, IWTV’s claim fails.
Finally, IWTV’s allegation that Game Changer breached its confidentiality obligations is contradicted by the plain language of the contract. “Confidential Information” is defined by the contract to include only “information that is disclosed by or on behalf of one Party to the other Party.” Dist. Agreement claims that this provision was violated because Game Changer revealed the terms of the contract itself. This is obviously incorrect for a few independent reasons. The terms of the Distribution Agreement cannot constitute confidential information because those terms were not “disclosed by or on behalf of” IWTV to Game Changer.
Plainly, IWTV could not have “disclosed” to Game Changer terms which Game Changer supposedly participated in negotiating. In fact, “‘Confidential Information’ does not include information that . . . is rightfully known by the receiving Party at the time of disclosure without an obligation of confidentiality.”
Of course, even if this allegation that Game Changer violated the confidentiality provision of the agreement were true (and it is not), Game Changer had every right to utilize the Distribution Agreement, which by its terms is not confidential. Further, the confidentiality provision requires each party to “keep the other Party’s Confidential Information” safe. Id. § 8(b) (emphasis added). But the terms of a contract do not belong to one party or the other.
This confidentiality provision is clearly intended to protect information belonging to a single party that is disclosed to the other party for purposes of negotiation. It does not apply to a mutually executed agreement. The confidentiality provision therefore simply does not bar disclosure of the terms of the Distribution Agreement itself. Any cocontrary interpretation, in addition to contradicting the plain language of the agreement, would lead to absurd results. For example, the contract provides that “[t]he receiving Party shall return or delete all Confidential Information of the disclosing Party promptly upon request of the disclosing Party.” Id. § 8(b). Under IWTV’s interpretation, the terms of a contract to which Game Changer is a party somehow constitute “confidential information” owned by IWTV, which would mean that IWTV could require that Game Changer “return or delete” the contract itself.
Obviously, this cannot be right, because the contract does not treat its own terms as “confidential information” belonging to one party or the other. This alone is enough to doom IWTV’s attempt—recognizing the limitation on damages contained in the Distribution Agreement—to backdoor lost profits in through the confidentiality provision.
In the filing, GCW states that they informed IWTV in December 2020 they were seeking alternative platforms (they moved to FITE.TV) and that IWTV filed their lawsuit in June 2021. They also argued that many of the allegations against them were simply duplicates of other allegations and even alleged their original agreement was signed under duress.
IWTV, obviously, has yet to respond and the Court will not rule on the Motion until IWTV gets to have their argument filed before the court.

BRITISH STAR MARTIN KIRBY OUT OF RETIREMENT
British wrestler Martin Kirby has come out of retirement, making a surprise appearance at Scottish promotion Insane Championship Wrestling’s television taping last night in a losing effort against Daz Black.
Kirby, 39, announced his retirement last March. He is best known for his work across the British independent wrestling scene, but namely WhatCulture Professional Wrestling (which later rebranded as Defiant Wrestling).
In August 2019, Kirby debuted in Japanese promotion Dragon Gate. He regularly competed in the company until last March, teaming with Gamma, Masaaki Mochizuki and Ryo Saito in defeat against Dragon Dia, Jason Lee, Mondai Ryu and Oji Shiiba in what would have been his last match.
British promotion NORTH Wrestling has announced Kirby will compete against Chris Ridgeway, Robbie X and Will Kroos in a four-way match to determine the next challenger for the NORTH Wrestling Championship at its Keep Your Distance show on Saturday, October 23 at the Anarchy Brew Co in Newcastle.
At the same show, Rory Coyle will attempt his first defense of the title against Cara Noir (international fans will also know Noir from his work in England’s PROGRESS Wrestling and German promotion Westside Xtreme Wrestling on Peacock and the WWE Network). Tickets for the show are available here. All allocated seating has sold out but standing tickets remain available for under £20.

Gee Where Did They Get This Idea From? Oh Yeah. The NWA Then ROH- IMPACT ANNOUNCES KNOCKOUTS KNOCKDOWN ALL-WOMEN'S EVENT
First Billy Corgan's NWA announced their all women's event, then Ring of Honor 'really quickly' copied that idea with their women's tournament, and NOW, Impact Wrestling, seeing how good the NWA's Women's event was, is now jumping on the bandwagon.
I guess if you're gonna copy an idea, it is nice that they're not ripping off WWE, like many wrestling companies often do.
Impact has announced Knockouts Knockdown, an all-women event that will tape this coming weekend to air in October.
Gail Kim was joined by former Impact star Christy Hemme live on Impact’s Facebook page this afternoon. The show will air on October 9 on Impact Plus and will tape this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at Skyway Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Kim announced that Deonna Purrazzo would be on the card, defending the Impact Knockouts title against a mystery opponent. Ticket information for the tapings can be found here.
Other names that Kim mentioned during the stream include Lady Frost, Renee Michelle, and Mercedes Martinez, all of whom will be appearing on the show. Additionally, a Monster’s Ball match will take place that will be dedicated to the memory of Daffney, who was the first woman to take part in a Monster’s Ball match against Taylor Wilde back in 2009.
NWA EmPower, which also had an all-women's card, took place last month. Deonna Purrazzo successfully defended the Impact Knockouts title on the show, defeating Melina.
Here's the announcement by Gail Kim and ChristyHemme.

Becky Lynch Confronts Fan Who Calls Her A P***y At WWE Supershow
WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch defeated Bianca Belair during a WWE Supershow at the Times Union Center in Albany, New York, on Sunday night.
Several videos have surfaced of Lynch mocking and trolling the fans during the show. One video shows a fan calling Lynch “a pus*y” after the match. Lynch confronted the fan and talked trash while hoisting up her title.
Lynch antagonized the crowd in Albany throughout the match.
Belair dominated most of the match, until Lynch picked up the pin fall victory with a roll up. The crowd was mostly behind the babyface Belair.
Lynch will defend her title against Belair at the upcoming Extreme Rules pay-per-view. The two women signed a contract this past Friday on SmackDown to make the match official.

RING OF HONOR MAY HAVE JUST RUN LAST EVENT BEFORE LIVE FANS IN 2021 AND OTHER NEWS
Following tonight's Ring of Honor Death Before Dishonor PPV, the promotion has run its last currently scheduled event in front of a live crowd this year. There had been plans to run several house shows this fall but the decision was made to hold off on those events due to the COVID-19 Delta variant and concerns over how it may affect touring.
ROH will tape their next rounds of TV tapings before a closed set tomorrow and Tuesday in Philadelphia at the 2300 Arena. There are also tapings set for November in Baltimore.
Going forward, decisions will be made on a "week to week" basis as to when they run again before live crowds.
A decision as to whether the promotion's next planned PPV, Final Battle, will be held before live fans has not yet been determined, That show is tentatively set for Baltimore as well.
Chris Hero was backstage tonight working as a producer for the PPV.
The announced injuries for Jay Lethal, Rhett Titus and Tracy Williams were simply storyline to explain why they were not wrestling on the PPV. They will be in action at this week's TV tapings.
Jake Atlas, Alex Zayne and Taylor Rust will be taking part in this week's TV tapings.
Atlas obviously got banged up towards the end of his match with Rust tonight.
Lenny Leonard was brought in to do commentary for the ROH Women's World title bout at the PPV tonight. He is not slated to work this week's TV tapings.

WWE's Micromanaging Machine Has Churned Out An Updated List Of "Banned" Words (Like That's Gonna Really Help Improve Their product, LOL)
The WWE in their 'genius logic' has come out with an updated list of 'banned' words that talents can't say.
The talents were handed the following list who were promoting WrestleMania in Tampa, Florida, get a load of this dumb shit.
Instead of trying to improve a shitty product, instead of listening to the fans who soundly and very loudly booed a video of a preview of the new NXT at their show in Madison Square Garden, they're gonna just churn out this list of the following words that all WWE talents are banned from saying.
Here's the list.
"Blood, choke, belt, strap, diva, head shot, trauma, kayfabe, Mofos, house show, DQ, The Anti-Diva, spinal injuries, victim, violence, violent, wrestling, wrestlers, WWF, wifebeater, curb stomp, phrases including the word “push” and "being over,” babyface, heel, job, jobber, card, strangle, kill and murder".
So the talent can't even say "WWF' now? The very name of what the company they work for was formerly named? AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! They can't even say 'wrestling'?
UUMM, yoo hoo, ppsssstt, pppssst, ppsst ppssst ppsstt. The second word of the name of the company is WRESTLING, you dumb fucks. So they can't say "World WRESTLING Entertainment" anymore? AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If this isn't, the DUMBEST shit I've ever heard.
Yeah, banning words 'sure is' gonna help make the product better (rolls eyes).
All this micromanaging they do but they can't micromanage improving a shitty product.
Makes you go, HHHHHHMMM.
ATSUSHI ONITA VS. MATT TREMONT REMATCH SIGNED FOR TRENTON THUNDER BASEBALL STADIUM HALLOWEEN NIGHT IN NEW JERSEY
Japanese legend Atsushi Onita's match against Matt Tremont for Tremont's H20 Wrestling will now take place Sunday 10/31 in Trenton, NJ at The Trenton Thunder Ballpark, which holds 6,150 for baseball games. Tremont made the announcement of the location of the event this evening.
The storyline is that Onita, 63, has been calling out Tremont, who retired in October 2020, to face him and Tremont has finally agreed. Tickets for the event will go on sale this week.
The match will headline a three night series of events that weekend with all of the events, including Onita vs. Tremont streaming live on IndependentWrestling.TV.
Onita previously faced Tremont at CZW's Once in A Lifetime in August 2017, a bout that was marred by poor explosions used and booking (which Onita pushed for) that saw the match twist into a six man tag team bout, leaving the live crowd underwhelmed. A produced but never released documentary on Japanese Death Match legend Atsushi Onita coming to the United States to face Matt Tremont at Combat Zone Wrestling's Once In A Lifetime event was released for free online for all to watch in May 2020.
At the time, Director Mike Coughlin noted the film, "...was meant to be a companion piece to CZW's Once in a Lifetime event, featuring Atsushi Onita accepting Matt Tremont's challenge to an exploding death match in the United States. Due to outside interest in the documentary, the footage was licensed to a 3rd party. Unfortunately that company ultimately chose not to pursue the project. While I'd rather the program be shown in it's final hi-res, edited, form - the original footage is no longer readily available. Since this is the 25th anniversary of Onita's Kawasaki Dream match with Hayabusa, and with most of us all in quarantine, I wanted to release the raw/rough cut I originally pitched. I hope you all enjoy."
After the CZW match, Onita invited Tremont to come face him in Japan, which happened during a multi-man tag team bout in October 2017 in Tokyo. Onita would return to CZW to team with Tremont against DJ Hyde and Masada at Cage of Death 20, a bout that upset the PA State Athletic Commission and building management when Onita ignored regulations and brawled over the guard rails into the crowd.
Since that time, Tremont retired but continued to train and promote the H20 promotion and wrestling school while Onita launched a new promotion FMW-E, meant to invoke the groundbreaking FMW from the 1990s, a promotion that will be featured in the latter half of the third season of ViceTV's Dark Side of Ring.
But, Onita and Tremont never had the chance to actually have their singles bout with a definitive winner...until now.
Here's a documentary on the Tremont/Onita feud.
Here's where you can see Tremont's announcement on the rematch that he made earlier tonight.

NXT Changes Rejected By Fans (Imagine That, Too Bad Vince McMahon Won't Listen To Those Fans)
WWE may have set a record last night with an announced sold out crowd of 14,425 fans in attendance for last night’s MSG return. (Even though it was noted by WrestleTix that the attendance was likely closer to 13,000, and definitely not the announced number), but they probably set a record for how many fans at once boed when the WWE showed a video of the changes coming to NXT.
During last night's WWE Smackdown taping in New York City, WWE ran a video for the forthcoming shifting of the WWE NXT brand, which will begin to unveil itself this Tuesday 9/14.The fans in Madison Square Garden soundly booed the video, which shouldn't come as any surprise as fans all over social media have voiced their displeasure at the upcoming changes.
You know Bruce Prichard heard those boos, and you KNOW Vince McMahon heard them too. The sad part is? Both of them won't listen or take heed to those boos and will just routinely ignore em because THEY THINK, they know better of what the fans want over the fans themselves.
A logic and mentality that proven to be wrong every time they've tried to stick to that logic.
But remember, it WAS Vince McMahon who once said that HE, knew what the fans wanted more than the fans do. It's that kind of mentality that has fucked em, time and time again, and last night those loud boos showed without a doubt.. That that mentality is fucking em one more time.
But you can bet McMahon and Prichard won't heed those boos, they'll just force feed down the throats of fans with the "We're gonna SHOW YOU that this is a good idea".
No you're not.
Or, they'll go with the logic they had when they force fed John Cena and Roman Reigns down fans' throats.. "We're gonna MAKE YOU like this".
I highly doubt that. Those boos you heard last night again prove me right.
You can see where the fans at Madison Square Garden booed the fuck out of the video, here.
UWN PRIME TIME LIVE RETURNING TO PPV WITH SPECIAL NEXT MONTH
The United Wrestling Network's Prime Time Live will return with a two hour live PPV broadcast on Saturday 10/2 on Fite.TV and possibly other outlets, promoter Dave Marquez announced tonight.
The Commerce, CA taping at the Commerce Casino will be part of a Championship Wrestling from Hollywood TV taping. After two episodes of CWH are taped, they will go live on FITE.
Marquez stated on Twitter the PPV will feature representation from AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Primetime Live ran as a weekly PPV series from September through December 2020 from Thunder Studios in California because COVID-19 concerns led to a pause on all production. The series featured a tournament to crown the first-ever UWN Champion, with Chris Dickinson and Mike Bennett going to the finals. The match was finally slated to take place at the debut Championship Wrestling from Atlanta taping, but the remnants of Hurricane Ida devastating the Northeast prevented Dickinson from making the taping.
One would think that perhaps, finally, UWN will crown their first champion on 10/2.
