Melina: NWA World Women's Championship #1 Contender | NWA Powerrr S6E7
After a spirited battle against both Kylie Rae and Chelsea Green for the #1 contendership for the NWA World Women's Championship, Melina took the time to express her feelings on being in the running for gold once again.
NJPW Said "No Way Jose'" To Will Ospreay On Working With MLW In Mexico Due To AAA
New Japan Pro Wrestling prevented Will Ospreay from working with MLW on a Mexico tour. The main sticking point was if AAA talent would be working on the tour as well. Konnan is a relative mainstay in MLW, and Konnan is the main booker of AAA. NJPW currently maintain their working relationship with CMLL, who are rivals of AAA in Mexico. So NJPOW higher ups told Ospreay "No Way Jose" when he said he wanted to work for MLW in Mexico.
This been reported by several well placed sources and was brought up as well by Dave Meltzer (for whatever his opinion is worth these days) during a discussion of Ring of Honor’s hiatus. Full information on ROH’s situation can be found by clicking here. The current effect the news has is that ROH talent are now free to take bookings from anywhere in the wrestling world.
ROH World Champion Bandido has expressed a desire to work with NJPW again. However, AAA will want Bandido in their promotion as well. Due to NJPW not willing to work with AAA, in order to maintain ties with CMLL, it is unlikely that Bandido can work for both promotions.
Bandido has competed for the AAA Mega Championship and the AAA World Tag Team Titles in 2018, and in 2019, Bandido was in the Best of the Super Juniors, and he challenged for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title at Madison Square Garden.
Dragon Lee also competed in that match, and Lee will be working in AAA along with most likely various other U.S. indie promotions. Lee is an exception for NJPW because he is under contract with them. Lee is a former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion and will likely make his NJPW sometime in the future. Lee is currently teaming with his brother DralĂstico in AAA.
Ring of Honor's Tape Library Is For Sale
The Ring of Honor tape library is for sale.
As it's been reported, ROH announced on Wednesday that after December’s Final Battle pay-per-view they will be going on a hiatus during the first quarter of 2022 so that they can “reimagine” the company and hopefully return with a fan-focused product in April with the Supercard of Honor event. They still have November TV tapings scheduled for Baltimore, but then Final Battle will be it until April 2022 as they have a venue booked for WrestleMania 38 Weekend in Dallas, presumably for Supercard of Honor. You can click here for the original report on ROH’s statement, and click here for the update on ROH talent releases, the status of the ROH TV show, and more. You can also click here for reactions from ROH wrestlers, and click here for a new report on ROH operating more like a standard indie promotion moving forward.
In an update, Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso reports that the ROH tape library is now available and will go to the highest bidder. The library includes early career footage from stars such as Seth Rollins, Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, Cesaro, Samoa Joe, Adam Pearce, Cesaro, The Young Bucks, Kevin Owens, Impact World Champion Moose, and many others.
It was noted that ROH has been privately trying to move the library, which includes the Sinclair-owned archive from 2012-present) for more than one year now.
ROH is reportedly asking for significant money for the library, said to be much more than the current market dictates.
The ROH tape library also includes the All In pay-per-view form September 2018, which was the precursor to AEW. While AEW owns the trademark, ROH owns the footage for that key event. This, and the fact that stars like Punk and Danielson are now in AEW, would make the library an important buy for AEW, especially as they look ahead at plans for their own network.
WWE reportedly had strong interest in the ROH library at one point and even had talks with the company in 2017. It will be interesting to see if WWE still has that interest as this was back when they had so many former ROH stars being featured on all three brands.
Maria Kanellis Explains An Idea For A Pro Wrestling Festival Where Companies Unite
Maria Kanellis was on Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette, and was asked if she felt had been given the respect she deserved for her sixteen year career. Kanellis feels she perhaps hasn’t gotten her due, but that it’s alright with her because she’s more focused on getting others to succeed.
“Mike (Bennett) and I always joke that we’re not the cool kids,” Kanellis laughed. “I feel that’s part of it, but that’s okay to me. I never really cared about that. I never really cared about being popular. For me, it’s about putting the best product out there, but also supporting as many humans as I possibly can. And sometimes when you’re doing that, you piss people off, and sometimes when you’re doing that, you go in a direction people are afraid of. That’s okay to me.
“I grew up with a father that was very loud and very harsh at times. Nobody scares me like my father did when I was a kid. So to go off against these different roadblocks, or these ‘no’s’, or whatever, that doesn’t affect me. So I’m willing to do it because I know there’s a bigger purpose behind it, and I enjoy creating those opportunities. So if I don’t get the credit, it’s okay because I see other people succeeding and that’s really important to me.”
Kanellis also talked about dealing with her husband Mike Bennett’s recovery from painkiller addiction, and how that, coupled with having two children, led to her focusing less on herself emotionally and mentally. She has started to focus more on herself and has come to the realization that she needed to cope with the struggles.
“The first part of his recovery, I shut off,” Kanellis said. “I was just like ‘okay, we’re going to get you through this and you’re going to live. We’re not going to lose our jobs.’ A lot of that. Plus, I was pregnant. He told me he had this painkiller addiction, and then two weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. I was like, ‘oh s**t. What am I going to do?’ So I had to really shut my brain and my emotions down completely, and just power through. But I think now is actually the first time we see what effects his addiction and his recovery had on me. So that’s something that’s part of the reason I’m so dedicated to Tag Me In, and the mental health initiative. It’s because you don’t know when those things are going to creep up on you. All of a sudden, I’m like, ‘holy s**t, I need to deal with me now. Alright, what did this mean for my life and my career?’
“I spent four years of my life taking care of an addict, and I didn’t realize I was taking care of an addict. And ‘those were some of the best years of my life’, as people like to say. I don’t think they were, but I was in my early 30’s at that point. And then it was baby, and then baby, and I didn’t really think about me. And now I am, and it’s weird how that hits you. It’s like you go on a trip with all the kids, and you bring everything for them, and you’re like, ‘oh s**t, I don’t even have any underwear.’ And that I think happened for many years. So now, I’m dealing with it. But it helps me to work, it helps me to stat telling this story of ‘yeah, it’s okay. After helping someone with their own addictions, their own recovery, their own mental health, it’s okay to start focusing on yourself and to take care of yourself.’ I’ve been trying to do more and more of that.”
Kanellis also talked about her goals in wrestling, which includes seeing a major wrestling show put together but all the major companies working together right now. She also once again brought up the subject of unionization, something she’d like to see and something she believes can be done.
“We’re talking consistently about unity in the wrestling industry right now,” Kanellis said. “And we’ve seen so much crossover between different companies. And we’ve seen now that everybody is friendly and everybody does want to work together. I’d like to see more of that, and I’d like to see a show that was based on that. I don’t know how it gets done. I would like a festival that is based on the idea of unity and all coming together. Just make it a huge party of wrestlers, and music, and atmosphere, and just celebrate wrestling… I was just on a call with Gail and Mickie talking about Tag Me In, and we were talking about how we can work together more. We’re going to try and consistently try to figure out those ideas of working together more.
“I’m also still a crusader of getting a union at some point. And now everybody’s going to take that and go ‘you can’t do that!’ Unions can have levels, and I truly believe that. And I truly believe that every company does not need to be a part of it in order for it to work for everyone. I think that, to have that insurance and that assurance that we’re all being taken care of would be nice. I think it’s necessary at some point. Again, it’s not across the board, it’s just the idea of having those practices in place.”

Tommy Dreamer Has Returned To Busted Open Radio
Tommy Dreamer has returned to the Sirius XM airwaves. The former ECW World Champion resumed his co-hosting duties on Busted Open Radio this morning, his first appearance on the show since September.
Alongside host Dave LaGreca, Dreamer reviewed last night’s NXT and, in a segment featuring former WCW wrestler Crowbar, paid tribute to the late Daffney, who passed away on September 1. The Busted Open podcast, which is posted shortly after the conclusion of the radio broadcast and contains only portions of the show, featured no mention of Dreamer’s absence from the show, nor touched upon why his hiatus had ended.
Dreamer disappeared from Busted Open Radio following a series of controversial statements on Vice TV’s Dark Side of the Ring episode on the notorious Plane Ride From Hell incident. During the episode, which aired on September 16, Dreamer defended Ric Flair, who was accused by flight attendant Heidi Doyle of committing sexual assault during the flight. Dreamer further downplayed the accusations of Doyle, insinuating she wasn’t believable due to her settling a lawsuit with WWE over the incident out of court.
The following day, Impact Wrestling, where Dreamer works as a member of the creative team, suspended Dreamer indefinitely for his conduct. Several days later, LaGreca announced on Busted Open Radio that Dreamer would not be appearing on the program for the foreseeable future, and that his remarks would not be tolerated. To date, he has not returned to Impact, though Dreamer promoted Impact’s Bound for Glory event on social media this past weekend.
Also co-hosted by Bully Ray and AEW performer Mark Henry, Busted Open Radio is known for promoting their shows throughout the day on social media. It is notable, on the day that Dreamer returned, that Busted Open did not promote his appearance on Twitter, and only mentioned Dreamer when posting the link to the podcast version.
I guess they know the backlash that's going to come their way because of this decision. So they thought it better to be silent about it, even though, that backlash is gonna come anyway.
Ring of Honor Going On Hiatus
ROH, owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, has been holding closed set TV tapings in Baltimore, Maryland. They are holding the aforementioned Final Battle pay-per-view on Saturday, December 11th from the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore.
The show will be the first for the company with fans in attendance since September's Death Before Dishonor PPV.
Contracted talent signed to Ring of Honor won’t have their contracts renewed as the company looks to go on hiatus and re-evaluate in the first quarter of 2022.
Contracted talent will not have their contracts renewed and are allowed to work anywhere they want immediately. They will also be paid through the end of the year. However, they will finish out remaining ROH dates for 2021. ROH will continue with a November television taping followed by their Final Battle pay-per-view, which will take place on December 11 at the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.
Final Battle will be the first card to have fans in attendance since the Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view in September. Recent television tapings have been held without fans.
Rumors that Sinclair Broadcasting, the parent company of Ring of Honor, has canceled ROH’s television show are not true.
Matt Taven, Mike Bennett, Silas Young, Quinn McKay, Trish Adora, Max The Impaler, Dak Draper, Beer City Bruiser, Joe Hendry, Joe Keys, Eric Martin, and Dante Caballero are among the ROH wrestlers who tweeted about taking bookings following the announcement that ROH is going on hiatus after Final Battle and taking the first quarter of 2022 to “reimagine” the company.

Maria Kanellis Talks About The “Fight” She Had With WWE Over Her Playboy Spread
Ring of Honor’s Maria Kanellis recently joined Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette to talk about her career. Kanellis talked about the struggle of trying to do more in WWE her first go around in WWE, including input on her 2008 Playboy spread and more time for the women onscreen.
“I remember even having long conversations on what my Playboy was going to be,” Kanellis said. “And I wanted it to be more fashion forward. I was a big Cindy Crawford (fan), I loved her style and I wanted to bring more of that vibe to wrestling and make it more fashion forward and make it more pop culture. That was a fight. It was a fight even to get that, even something so sexualized at the time as a Playboy cover. It was like ‘we want it to be more sexy.’ I tried to get it black and white and they were like ‘no, we want it full color.’ So there were those conversations, even about something as sexual as that. And everybody talks about ‘oh, well time on TV.’ Well we were all fighting backstage to get more time on TV. We were trying to stop Vince in the hallway or meet him in his office or whatever it was, just to get a couple more minutes. I remember when one match was told ‘you did too many things like the guys.’ And I just remember the looks on those women’s faces.
“They wanted the girls to be more girly I guess would be the term. More feminine, like cat fight situations. I didn’t mind any of it, I was playing a role. But of course, I wanted more time for the women that did know how to wrestle, that did get into this because of the wrestling. But unfortunately, that just wasn’t happening. Eventually there was a little bit more and a little bit more given to us by the end. But I do remember, after I had done Celebrity Apprentice, and I pushed hard, even before I came out, I was like ‘no. It’s going to take more money, more of this, more of that to get me to stay.’ And that’s when WWE and myself went separate ways. I wanted to be able to have more control of my character at the time. It’s okay. It all worked out for the best in that sense. And because of my time in Ring of Honor and other promotions, I was really able to spread my wings, so that next time I came back into WWE, I came with a lot more confidence. And the wrestling world had changed so much. It was interesting to come back and see how much had changed and how much was the same. But that’s how it goes. You take what you can get, and you also do it inch by inch. It’s not going to be overnight.”
Kanellis also delved into the differences between working for WWE in her first run and then working for promotions like Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro Wrestling and Impact Wrestling. For her, WWE was more rigid and scripted, whereas the other promotions allowed you more control and the chance to sink or swim.
“When I left WWE in 2010, and, as you know, with WWE you pretty much have to stick to the script, especially if you’re one of the wrestlers or the talent,” Kanellis said. “But then getting to Ring of Honor by 2011, I could do what I wanted. I didn’t have a script most of the time to what I was going to say. It really was the Briscoes that let me shine and be a strong female. Because of the Briscoe Brothers, if you’re able to get into a feud with them, it really solidified that women could be strong. And I always thank them. That storyline was a moment in my career, and it was every single one of those men in Ring of Honor that supported me, and allowed me to have a say, whether it be in finishes of matches or if it was the direction of the storylines. So for me, that was the biggest difference, is being able to have so much say, even in the guys matches that I wasn’t involved in. They would ask me for advice. So that was amazing.
“And then going to New Japan and being treated so respectfully. I had my own locker room a lot of times because I was the only female on the show. And sometimes my locker room would be bigger than the guys. So I was inviting people in! If I needed anything, they took care of me, because I was the first female they had had that was consistently on television in awhile. And I was consistently doing shows with them. So for me it was this weird experience of ‘I’m so excited to be here!’, but they were just so respectful of me being there. So we were bowing at each other multiple times, like ‘yes, thank you.’ ‘No, thank you.’ It was great. And Impact, that was a whole other ballgame, because I had the support of the entire writing staff, including Madison (Rayne) who did such incredible things for me as far as confidence. Having Gail Kim there and being able to run ideas past her and having Billy Corgan there, they just let me run with it. And they had such good direction, but I just went out there and they were like ‘okay, you’ve got five minutes.’ I was like ‘anything else?’ ‘No, just go.’ So I had to go out there on a microphone and be like ‘okay, I guess I’m filling five minutes.’ That’s a lot of pressure to strike the balance between what can be a rigid situation in WWE of ‘here’s your script, stick to it, here you go, learn it, get out there and go nail it.’ And then having the other stuff being a completely blank canvas and do what you want to do. That’s a tall order, because then if you fall on your face, it’s your fault.”

Former TNA Wrestler Jimmy Rave Has Had Both Legs Amputated
Jimmy Rave shared the news 11 months ago that his wrestling career had ended after 21 years due to his left arm amputation. Now just days after revealing he owes more than $100,000 in medical bills, he has announced on Twitter that he has also had to have both legs amputated following an MRSA infection this past June. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the internet, some fans are skeptical, since "marks" always question everything, including facts. so he has included a photograph confirming this.
For those wanting to assist Rave, he has confirmed his PayPal-associated email address is jamesmguffey@gmail.com. Additionally, the original GoFundMe from 2020 set up for him to purchase a prosthetic arm remains open at gofundme.com/f/Jimmyrave
Rave started out in the wrestling business in 1999, and he is best known for his multiple runs in Ring of Honor, where he shared a ring with Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe, Nigel McGuinness, AJ Styles, and CM Punk. He was also part of The Rock ‘n Rave Infection in TNA along with Lance Archer and Christy Hemme. Unfortunately, his career was severely hampered by drug addiction, which resulted in him attending rehab.
