Welcome to the very first edition of the Warriors Weekly Wrap-Up with your host Sam Eglowitz. In this episode he will be joined by Warriors of Wrestling's up and coming female star Jade. What are her thoughts on Roger Mendez & Max Bane turning their backs on her? What are her thoughts on W.O.W World Women's champion Nikki Addams??? And how does she feel on representing W.O.W against Titan championship wrestling at Goddess of War???
Impact Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo appeared on The Wrassingh Show.
When asked what other match on the PPV card she was excited about, Purrazzo mentioned the Triple Threat Match between Steve Maclin, Trey Miguel and El Phantasmo for the vacant Impact X Division Championship. Purrazzo believes her boyfriend Steve Maclin, fka Steve Cutler, is finally getting opportunities to shine as a singles star in Impact Wrestling after getting “the crappy end of the stick” in WWE.
“Obviously Steve Maclin is my real life boyfriend, [laughs] so there’s that to it, and I just feel like I was in very much.. a similar space he was when he came into Impact wrestling,” Purrazzo said. “He kind of got the crappy end of the stick when he was released and for him to land on his feet at Impact with me, I love it! Because I get to travel with the person I love the most!
“But he never really got the opportunities elsewhere to do what he’s doing now, to be a singles competitor, to be in a title picture, to have the opportunity, to be the character he wants to be.. which is very much to his real life experiences, so he’s like a kid in a candy store right now! A kid on Christmas, with his eyes bright and like, there’s so many possibilities and I love that for him I love watching him be able to succeed and put himself out there and bet on himself, so I’m betting on him becoming the X-Division champion at Bound for Glory but besides myself, that’s what I’m most excited for, is for him to get this pay-per-view match for the first time!”
Purrazzo is also excited about The IInspiration, fka The IIconics, getting a title shot against The Decay’s Rosemary and Havok.
“Yeah! I think it’s great for our roster,” Purrazzo said. “I think the fact that Impact has really become a landing spot and people are seeking out Impact wrestling to give them the opportunities that maybe they didn’t feel they got elsewhere or that Impact is giving people, who have been buying on the indies for a long time, the opportunity to be on a bigger stage and show what they got!
“So, for the IInspiration to come in and want to be a part of our knockouts division – they’re in the knockouts tag team championship match against Decay at Bound for Glory. I think it’s going to be a really special moment for our knockouts division and for Cassie and Jess, themselves.
“I don’t see them as competition because i think that as of right now they’re a tag team, they’re not coming for my knockouts championship.. so maybe it would be a different story if they decide they want the knockouts championship. But as of now, I love them both and I’m excited to see what they’re going to do here at Impact wrestling.”
Bound for Glory takes place this this Saturday at Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show will be available on both FITE and traditional PPV. You can click here for the final card.
You would've thought, after they got busted out in public by this site last week that they'd learn not to be this stupid. BUT.. As you can see, PWInsider is continuing to be? This stupid.
Here it is, the story I did last week when they tried to post an Impact Wrestling media call for only their "VIP Members" That one stroll over to YouTube and anybody, and everybody can hear for free.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsYRLv3KRtY
Someone please notify Mike Johnson and tell him that his little scam on his elite members has been exploited, for the second week in a row, and that he might want to try a new scam since this one has failed for the second week in a row..
Here's a lesson for PWInsider. Don't bother trying to make Impact media calls for your elite members only, because ALL of them, are available on YouTube for free, dumb asses.
You can thank me now for showing AGAIN, just how fucking stupid, some of these 'major' news sites really are.
They actually bring this on themselves, with their own stupidity. Some day they may learn, some day..
Obviously, some day... Won't be today.

Narrator and ec3 talk about everything is a lie. Reiterate that #FreeTheNarrative II "The Monster in Us All" will be live, for #Free, Thursday 10/21/21 on the #ControlYourNarrative YouTube. And how William (Bill Carr) is ec3's favorite person. A thorough, complete interview takes with Bill Carr, one of the most engaging and disgusting and loved men in all of professional wrestling locker rooms. Bill Carr goes into his fascination with horror movies, death metal, a decaying cultural landscape, being fired from #FCW and how he was welcomed into #WWE as a talent by an obviously good-natured and not at all #powerdrunk #office. Bill shares tales from his developmental days and with astounding detail and debauchery, all with a cool cadence of a New Yorker who in no way should be portraying a #cowboy in trunks. Bill Carr has found a home in #TheNarrative. William is always welcome.

Ace debuts in 2019 and they have Impact has stuff for him, but then Romero gets COVID-19 and suddenly, the "We have nothing for you" excuse comes.
Boy does that say A LOT about how Impact does business. Pretty shuitty way to treat someone who had COVID-19 and got thru it Scotty D'Amore. Pretty shitty indeed.
Of course Scotty will deliberately sidestep that because as we all know, truth hurts.
In a recent interview with Cultaholic, former Impact wrestling star Ace Romero opened up about the events that led to his Impact release earlier this year. Romero is admittedly disappointed with how his run with Impact ended up, especially considering he debuted at Bound For Glory 2019.
“It’s hard because my run there was less stellar than I ever wanted it to be just because of the way it started off. Right away, I debuted at Bound for Glory in the ladder match, and immediately, I was like, ‘Oh s–t, this is way cool. I think they’re going to use me and want me to be a pivotal player, but alongside that, there’s not a bunch of matches or things where I can say, ‘Oh yeah, that was awesome.’ But I will say that my time filming Wrestle House was very fun,” Ace said. “I think that’s one of the things I’ll be most remembered for was my time at Wrestle House.
“As far as my involvement [with the creative], I just got an email that said, ‘hey, you have been selected to join Wrestle House, and dah, dah, dah. We film these day.’ Yeah, it was cool, like, they were very long days, but man, the way it was produced and the final product was awesome. And getting to work with all of those people was cool, and it was good to show a different side– my comedic or whatever you want to call it,” he added.
Romero detailed the events that began leading to his release request to Impact management. After a debilitating case of COVID-19 in May 2021, Romero wasn’t booked for another Impact show for the remainder of the year. He adds how it made the experience even more frustrating knowing that stars from other companies were performing on Impact.
“Yeah, obviously when you sign a contract and you’re with a national company, you obviously want to be used as much as possible. That’s why you’re there. But it all stems from me getting COVID; I got COVID in May of this year, so the last time I had ever been at Impact this year was April,” he stated. “So I missed the May loop and just never came back. I got to August and I was like, ‘What are we doing here?’ It was just a weird time because now there are a lot more talent on the show from different companies. And obviously they’ve got to fill spaces, so it’s one of those things where I’m ready to go, I’ve been ready to go since the end of May. But like, ‘What’s happening?’ And there just wasn’t any room, that was basically the answer I got. ‘There’s too many people on the roster and there’s just not enough TV time at this moment in time.
“My parents would call me like, ‘What’s going on with Impact? Like, why are you not being booked?’ And I mean, I get it, I understand that it’s a TV show so they can’t be throwing me on like it’s an indie show,” Ace explained. “Everything has got to fit the story, there has got to be a reason why I’m there… Yeah, I had contact with them but, you know, it wasn’t as much as I wanted to. I would talk to my boss or talent relations like I said. But they would say, ‘We’re trying, we’re trying, we’re trying but at this point in time, nothing’s happening.’
He wanted to emphasize that his intentions aren’t to bad mouth Impact or bury them– he is trying to just tell the events how they unfolded. Romero also explained that near the end of his contract, Impact was pulling him from television right at the last moment.
“I don’t think it’s talking s–t because I’m telling the truth of what happened. Just for the listeners, I don’t want them to think I’m burying Impact because I’m very grateful for the opportunity I was afforded ’cause I’m just some guy from Maine. I could have very well got stuck in the Maine indie systems, and Maine wrestling has grown exponentially since then, but I could have very well become a once a month wrestler,” he said. “So I just want people to know that I’m not talking s–t or trying to bury Impact, but the last straw was when we were going to be booked in August and then we were pulled off the week of.
“And I’ll be honest, Impact was a big chunk of my income, and my deal was that if I wasn’t there, I wasn’t getting paid. So I was getting paid for appearances, you know? So I was counting on that loop to help me financially. And I was ready to go, it was the week of, like a Friday and we were filming on Monday, and it was just, ‘Hey, bad news. The creative has gone in a different direction.’ That’s when the frustration really goes, and I would call him and say, ‘Can we do something better? What can we do to come back?’ And that’s when I felt– and not saying they were doing this, but I felt like we were being d–ked around, for lack of a better term.”
William is a disgusting human being. Is William a self-deprecating, sluggish, dredge on society? Or is William the miscarriage of that society and all those who have wronged him in his past? A perpetrator? Or a victim? Regardless, William is tough as sh*t and will f*ck you up. Sometimes to find your true calling, all you have to do is pick up the phone.

Wrestling couple Chelsea Green and Matt Cardona joined Busted Open Radio last Thursday to talk about a variety of topics. One thing in particular was Cardona pointing out that while he’s grateful for his time in WWE for building up his brand, he has come to realize money isn’t everything. As such, he’s having the most fun of his career right now.
“The time I spent in WWE, I’m so grateful for that time,” Cardona said. “Because it allowed me, for instance, during the pandemic when there were no shows going on, I didn’t have to worry about money because I had built this name where I was able to do a podcast on wrestling figures. If I wasn’t from WWE, who would want to listen to that? So, I’m so grateful for that. Money is important; I’m not saying that it’s not important. What I’m saying is, listen, I’m doing really, really well right now.
“I’m not saying I’m not making any money or doing any shows for free, I’m certainly not saying that. What I’m saying is maybe I’m not making- when I’m going to my accountant, maybe I didn’t make the most money this year. But I think I’m doing more for my career in ten years, and I think I’m having the most fun, which is important to me. My schedule is pretty packed up. I have something every weekend, and like I said, we have the podcast. I feel I’m working seven days a week, but in theory, is it really work? I’m talking about toys and I’m wrestling. I’m doing the two things that I love.”
Both Cardona and Green are currently appearing in GCW, where Green debuted this past weekend to help Cardona win back the Internet Championship from Effy. Cardona talked about wanting to be as big a star as possible with his current GCW run, while Green focused on the stress from the heat Cardona has received.
“I’m the Internet Champion,” Cardona said. “Ten years ago, I started this YouTube show because I didn’t like my spot on the card. I didn’t like where I was in the company and I wanted to do something about it. Now ten years later, I wanted to do something about it. No one’s been counted out more times in this business, whether it be by promoters or fans, than me. And I keep coming back cause I’m not done. I want to be a top star in this business and I’m not going to stop. So whether it’s having kick ass matches in the ring, or pissing people off on the internet, or selling a bunch of t-shirts on Pro Wrestling Tees, and now, incorporating [Chelsea]. I’m going to do what I can. I’m not guaranteeing that I’ll go down as this wrestling God, but I’m going to die trying.”
“Everything that he does on the internet is f*****g stressful,” Green chimed in. “It is stressful. I already get ripped to shreds, and now I have to deal with this guy going off the rails on Twitter daily. It’s stressful because, look, I’m all for the hate because I really feel that hate is them following me, them loving me. They’re fans, right? But there’s this line, and a lot of people cross this line that us as wrestlers put out there.”
Green also discussed the adjustments the two have made in their relationship, now that they are largely working together for the first time in their careers. She says they are both trying to figure that out, due to their different wrestling styles.
“We did not base this relationship off of wrestling, not even from the start,” Green said. “We did not talk about wrestling probably for the first two years. I do love that we get to do things together, I’m happy we get to do things together. But it’s a learning experience because for our entire relationship, we’ve been ships passing in the night. We’ve never been at the same place at the same time really, so we’re learning as we go. We’re trying to figure out who we are now as a couple, because we’re very different wrestlers.”
Cardona also added his thoughts on the topic, saying he didn’t mind getting to spend so much time with Green. He also talked about how excited he was to be part of GCW’s upcoming show in the Hammerstein Ballroom, taking place in January of 2022.
“Now it’s a little different because now we’re involved in Impact together, GCW,” Cardona said. “So now we’re going to have to talk about it more often and it’s fine. I don’t mind traveling with my hot fiancée on the road. It’s not the end of the world. We both like going to the gym, we both like eating healthy, so it’s going to be okay.
“But right now? GCW, the other night when I was out there in Atlantic City, man, my ears were ringing because they were booing me so much. It was so much fun. I loved it. And now that we’re going to be at Hammerstein Ballroom, I pray that they give me a microphone. I just want to feel that. I have goosebumps just talking about it because I went to the Hammerstein Ballroom one time. Mikey Whipwreck brought me backstage to One Night Stand, the first one. And there is no backstage, so I watched it from the crowd, just standing up. And eighteen year old, nineteen year old kid just in awe. I just want to be there in that building. I never really thought I’d have that opportunity. Things just kind of fall into place, now I’m in GCW and they announce that they’re coming to Hammerstein. I’m the biggest heel in GCW, so I know I’m going to be on the show. It’s just ‘what am I doing?’ And now that Chelsea’s going to be involved too, man, it’s going to be a special night.

Tony Khan, got 'owned' here. :)
On his The Hall of Fame with Booker T & Brad Gilmore podcast, Booker T was critical of Tony Khan taking shots at WWE. “I’m of the sentiment that Tony Khan is doing a lot of talking about nothing,” he said “Go out and produce a good show. At the end of the day, we’ll know who won if that’s what we’re looking for, if that’s your goal post, if that’s where you’re trying to score in. But all of this talk about what you’re doing, this and that, back and forth, I swear man, it sounds like a little school girl saying how pretty she is over the other girls on the schoolyard. I could be wrong, but to me, that’s what it sounds like. It doesn’t sound like a boss. It doesn’t sound like a real boss move to be talking about something as small as that. I remember back in the day when WCW and WWE, it was head to head going down, that right there was a real war fighting for numbers. At one point, WCW took that rating war and ran with it for 83 weeks. That’s a long, damn time to say, ‘We’re winning.’ But what happened after 83 weeks? The ball shifted and we never got the momentum back. You know why? Because there was a lot of talking going on, and a lot of guys not working keeping their eyes on the prize. My thing is, if Tony Khan is smart, and I really think the guy really is smart, he would definitely stop thinking about the fans on social media as opposed to how long can we run this thing? How big can we make this?”

Top MLW star “Filthy” Tom Lawlor is leaving the company
Lawlor’s two year contract is expiring soon, and he is finishing up with the company, according to Fightful Select. Many Sources Inclusding those in MLW confirmed the departure and spoke very highly of the veteran talent.
Lawlor is done with MLW as of now as the recent Casket Match was a way to effectively write him out of the storylines. That match saw Lawlor lose to MLW Caribbean Heavyweight Champion King Muertes at the Fightland taping in Philadelphia earlier this month. There was still some time left on Lawlor’s contract, but it will expire before MLW’s next set of TV tapings in November.
The leader of Team Filthy first started working with MLW in 2017 and is a one-time MLW World Heavyweight Champion. He won the Battle Riot match in 2018, and won the Opera Cup Tournament in 2020.
Lawlor is currently working for NJPW after making his debut for the promotion in July 2020. He became the first-ever NJPW Strong Openweight Champion back in April after winning the New Japan Cup USA tournament, defeating Brody King in the finals.
Lawlor has expressed interest in returning to MMA, and said while he left his gloves in the ring after his last bout, he is not officially retired. Lawlor remains under contract to the PFL (Pro Fighters League). The former UFC star last fought on June 17 of this year, defeating Jordan Young by unanimous decision at the PFL 5 event in Atlantic City. He currently has a MMA record of 11-8-1.
There is no word on if the 38 year old Lawlor has interest from AEW or WWE, or what his contract status is with NJPW.
"Nothing Matters” A monologue from #TheEssentialCharacter ec3 to a hapless young dreamer, Jake Logan. Would you do anything for your dream? Would you stab your best friend in the back? Would you spit in your father’s face? Would you let someone sleep with your wife? Do you play the game? Or do you prepare for war? Can you handle this dream you seek, sacrificing your body, your soul, your life, and your love being given to someone else? Can you handle your dream being handed to someone with the -right look -right last name -Someone Twice your size with half your passion? Your dream will be given to #monsters. What is the dream? -Titles and accolades. -A moderate 6 salary? -The dopamine hit of celebrity attention, likes/comments/RTs, and star reviews? Look around you. Does this look like your dream? No, your dream is somewhere else. In The corporate culture. The three-letter brands. The soulless void that eventually sucks the very humanity out of you? Your modest dream is to line the pockets of billionaires. WE. DONT. NEED THEM. If we are the neglected of this industry then so be it. We are hired and we are fired we win and we lose cheered, booed pushed, deplatformed and punished for a bottom line and a society obsessed with the superficial. Nothing Matters. A dream is fragile. A dream is greedy. A dream will betray you. A dream becomes a nightmare. But a purpose? That’s worth fighting for. If you want to #controlyournarrative….. you have to fight.
From Jazz's Retirement Tour at Title Match Network's LNO10. See the legendary Jazz (former 2x WWE/WWF Women's Champion) battle Kiera Hogan (Impact Wrestling, AEW) live in Tampa.
In an appearance on Busted Open Radio with fiancée Matt Cardona, wrestler Chelsea Green talked about her recent appearance in GCW, where she helped Cardona win back the Internet Championship. Green is approaching her GCW run with the same attitude she had when she worked for Impact and Lucha Underground prior to signing with WWE.
“I feel like I’ve always had that attitude,” Green said. “I definitely lost that kind of passion and the confidence for a couple of years when I was signed. But before that, this is exactly the same thing I was doing before. I was trying to make moments for myself, and those moments translate over to social media and to the dirtsheets. And then the fans think you’re a star when you might not have done anything. I did nothing as the Impact Knockout’s Champion. I did diddly f*****g squat. But people were always talking about the moments I had as the Hot Mess.
“And then I went to Lucha Underground, and I did two weeks there. I did a total of four days, and people still talk about the match I had with Pentagon. It doesn’t matter if you do ten years or two days, you just have to make a moment of that time that you have in the ring.”
Green also talked about the negativity that social media occasionally brings and how to combat against it. For her, it’s taking time to think before responding to someone, as the wrong response could have ramifications for one’s career. She also compared how she handles social media to how Cardona does.
“I already know Matt is going to say he doesn’t care,” Green said. “And I get that. I never thought I was sensitive. But in this weird world, yes, you do have to think for just a split second ‘is this going to ruin my entire career?’ Because we’ve seen that. In 2020 we saw. People lost not only their jobs, they lost their partner, they lost their homes, they lost any opportunity to be in the entertainment industry. And that’s real. That’s not just fake f*****g Twitter world. That’s real life. Perception is reality on Twitter, so you have to be social careful. Do what you want to do, but I feel you just have to give it that extra thought in 2021. ‘Will this ruin my whole f*****g life?’
“We are humans and so of course, when we see that one negative comment, that’s going to get to us. It’s just a matter of how you respond. Do you respond? Well he (Cardona) f*****g responds! I try not to respond but he’ll always respond!”
Green was asked how often she has to restrain herself on social media. She responded by saying every single day, and gave an example of refraining from tweeting at an NXT star earlier in the day.
“Every day,” Green said. “If not, ten times today. It’s 11:11 and I have already deleted one Tweet to an NXT star today. Let me just say that. It’s already been erased. That’s one thing that Matt has taught me. You can’t be a tweeter and deleter. You’ve got to keep it up.”
“It lives forever. If you tweeted it, keep it up,” Cardona chimed it. “It’s there. It’s worse if you delete it. If it’s out there, just keep it. Once you delete it’s the news and ‘oh my god, they deleted this tweet.'”
AEW President Tony Khan has recently stepped up the trash talk against WWE, saying he has “more money” to air commercial-free programming, and even commented he thought last Monday’s WWE RAW, “sucked.”
On his 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff podcast, Bischoff commented on what advice he’d give to Tony Khan, which is to focus on his own brand.
“If Tony [Khan] were to call me and ask for any advice, here’s what it would be — shut up and wrestle, dude” Bischoff said. “Just put out the best product you can and you’ve proven you can. Focus on that. Now this is weird coming from me, right? The guy who challenged Vince McMahon. The guy who gave away their finishes. But here’s the difference. I was actually competing with him. I was going head-to-head. Real head-to-head. Like, my show started the same time his show started each and every week.”
Khan also said earlier this month — along with the help of hindsight — he’s “trying not to make the same mistakes WCW made head-to-head.” Bischoff addressed that comment, as well, and felt that until AEW was actually competing every single week, Khan (and other AEW stars saying the same) should “shut the f*** up.”
“And another thing, Tony comes out and says ‘We’re at the 1996 stage of WCW and going to not make their mistakes.’ Tony, you’re inventing some mistakes, brother,” Bischoff stated. “By coming out there and constantly comparing yourself or deriding your competition, but not having the willingness — I almost said balls — the willingness to say, ‘Okay, let’s go head-to-head. Let’s really compete. Let’s see who can get whose market share.’ That’s real competition. So, I’m a little disappointed in the rhetoric that I’m hearing out of Tony, as well as some of the talent. Man, shut the f*** up. Until you’re actually competing and you’re actually competing favorably — and by the way, Tony, in 1996 I was kicking WWE’s ass. Every week! In a real head-to-head competition, not a cosplay competition.”
Outlaw Wrestling has announced that they have moved this Thursday's return event 15 minutes away from Williamsburg, Brooklyn to Ridgewood on the Brooklyn/Queens border.
