Surprise Jimmy Jacobs appearance
Jimmy Jacobs made a surprise appearance at tonight’s WrestleCircus show. He confronted Sami Callihan and mentioned being fired for the Bullet Club selfie. Callihan punched him down but Jacobs came back and hit a spear. Jacobs tweeted after the appearance: “For the record, I have zero bitter feelings towards WWE. I had a great two and a half years there. But now I’m very excited to perform again.”

You can sure bet that WWE won't ever have the balls to do something like this.

Kansas City pro wrestling announcer Bill Kersten passes away
Professional wrestling lost yet another of its longest lasting television announcers as Bill Kersten, who made the term "He-llooo wrestling fans" into part of the lexicon of the Central States, passed away yesterday.
He was believed to be in his early 90s.
Kersten was a fixture in Kansas City Wrestling from 1947 until the death of the regional office more than 40 yeas later. He started as a ticket taker, moved to being a ring announcer in 1956, and then became the lead television announcer.
In 2009, Kersten was honored by the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Hall of Fame in Waterloo, Iowa for his contributions to wrestling.
Kersten, Bob Geigel, Tom Andrews, and Roger Kirby were part of the Kansas City contingent that attended Cauliflower Alley banquets until a few years ago.
After wrestling, Kersten worked as a ticket taker at a movie theater in Liberty, Missouri. He noted that even long after he had been off area television, every day at the theater people would see him and shout, "Hell-loo wrestling fans."

At Slammiversary 2013, Sting met Bully Ray in an effort to capture the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from the leader of Aces and Eights, but if he lost, he'd never get a shot at the world title again! Would "The Icon" overcome the odds in a No Holds Barred match where everything is legal?

War of Words: Piper/Lawler Would Have Been Talk of Wrestling in '82
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taZNKhNQNMY
It could have been one of the most memorable feuds in wrestling history, with two of the best talkers in the business in 1982. But it was not to be.
Jerry Lawler, still riding high from the national publicity of his feud with Andy Kaufman earlier that year, made a few appearances on WTBS’s World Championship Wrestling in fall 1982, shortly after the show’s color commentator, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, turned babyface when he saved co-host Gordon Solie from an irate Magnificent Muraco.
Only weeks earlier, Lawler had come off well on the “Late Night with David Letterman Show," which have inspired booker Ole Anderson to bring in Lawler, who hadn’t appeared much in the Peach State since Jerry Jarrett booked the territory during the Atlanta wrestling war of 1974.
Although in the prime of his babyface run in Memphis in 1982, Lawler had returned to Atlanta as a heel, explaining that fans in his hometown had tired of hearing Piper run his mouth on the SuperStation and had asked the King to go to Atlanta to silence the Rowdy One. At one point, Lawler also refers to his would-be foe as “Roddy the Piper,” 26 years before Santino Marella uttered the same line.
If Piper’s incredible heated reaction to Lawler’s comments is any indication, nationwide audiences would have been treated to months of wildly entertaining back-and-forth promos between the two masters.
However, it was not to be—a week before their first schedule match at the Omni, Piper and Rich reportedly were so intoxicated they were hours late to a show in Chattanooga, which wasn't the first strike on two men who were reputed to rowdiest partiers in the biz—a dubious honor. Depending on who you believe Piper was either fired or quit a fews days before his first bout with Lawler, calling in a favor to Ric Flair to get into JCP.

Raven on Why He Quit WCW
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHlqinxJjAw
Published on Oct 17, 2017
On June 30, 1997, Scott Levy made his return to WCW as Raven. He was seen sitting in the front row at Monday Nitro where the commentators acknowledged him as "a man who has been a champion with other organizations". He would create the Ravens Flock faction and have mild success within the company, having memorable matches with DDP and Chris Benoit.
He later joined with Vampiro and the Insane Clown Posse in a short-lived stable called The Dead Pool. In a backstage meeting in August 1999, which involved every contracted WCW wrestler, Eric Bischoff offered anyone their release right then and there. Levy was the only one to stand up and walk out, as he was dissatisfied with WCW's creative direction. Levy was granted his release and left the company.

Cody Rhodes succeeded after WWE, Bobby Lashly and EC3 as well. Jimmy Jacobs is already ding it, so why not Neville?
WWE isn't the be all and end all anymore even though someone forgot to tell them that.
While appearing on Busted Open Radio, Chris Jericho discussed Neville potentially leaving WWE and the matches that he’s had with him. Jericho said that he thinks Neville could be a bigger star outside of WWE than he was in the company due to getting a bigger opportunity, but leaving WWE is like walking off of the side of a building and being told a net is there without being able to see it. Jericho said Neville has the talent, ability as a character, and the intelligence to succeed elsewhere.

MLW news.
Following the success of MLW: One Shot earlier this month, MLW CEO Court Bauer told The Orlando Sentinel that the company is looking at returning full time with monthly shows in Florida.
"We were really happy with the first show at Gilt," Bauer said. "We see the chance to grow in Florida, and using Orlando as a base of operations makes sense."
As noted, tickets go on sale this Friday, October 20th at 10am ET at MLW.com for the promotion's return to Orlando on December 7th for MLW: Never Say Never. Ticket prices range from $15-$45 with a limited number of "Golden Ticket" VIP Packages also available. The card for MLW: Never Say Never will be announced in the coming days and weeks.

Can we say DUH! How do you NOT KNOW you don't have a title belt on you? Morons.
IWGP U.S. Champion Kenny Omega wasn't wearing his belt at this past weekend's ROH Global Wars event, where he defended his title against YOSHI-HASHI. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, it was a simple mix up as Omega and NJPW each thought the other had the belt, so it was never brought to the building.

CHRIS JERICHO COMMENTS ON JIMMY JACOBS' WWE FIRING
As part of a media tour promoting his band Fozzy, Chris Jericho was
interviewed by Metal-Injection.net.
During the conversation, WWE firing creative member Jimmy Jacobs was brought up. On that turn of events, Jericho commented:
"Jimmy's good and if I was there I would've tried to help him out, but it's not the smartest of moves. If I work at McDonalds and post a picture of me hanging out with guys from Wendy's and hashtag 'Wendy's is great,' McDonalds might not be too happy about it. I think Jimmy's a smart guy and maybe wouldn't surprise me if he knew something was going to happen. Maybe he was getting sick of it, I don't know. I just know as soon as I saw that picture, I was just like 'ooof,' with the hashtag '#BCInvasion,' you can't do that man. I mean, you can't. Was it a fireable offense? Well, it's not my decision, obviously Vince thought it was, which tells me there was probably some other stuff going on and that was the final straw. And I will say this, last year, 2016, Jimmy Jacobs was my co-writer on all of it. All of it! And the weeks he wasn't there I was like 'Ah f**k, I don't like this, I want Jimmy.' So he's very talented, and he really got me. I worked with him a few times and I went to [head writer] Dave Kapoor, I want Scoville, which is his real name, Chris Scoville, on every Jericho promo. No one else. Because that's how much I trusted his talent, his instincts."
The conversation, which includes discussion of the psychology behind the Festival of Friendship, how working with young guys is actually more beneficial to Jericho and more, is here. http://www.metalinjection.net/podcasts/squaredcirclepit/squared-circle-pit-31-chris-jericho-talks-new-fozzy-album-festival-of-frendship-rock-wrestling-cruise-making-it
During the conversation, WWE firing creative member Jimmy Jacobs was brought up. On that turn of events, Jericho commented:
"Jimmy's good and if I was there I would've tried to help him out, but it's not the smartest of moves. If I work at McDonalds and post a picture of me hanging out with guys from Wendy's and hashtag 'Wendy's is great,' McDonalds might not be too happy about it. I think Jimmy's a smart guy and maybe wouldn't surprise me if he knew something was going to happen. Maybe he was getting sick of it, I don't know. I just know as soon as I saw that picture, I was just like 'ooof,' with the hashtag '#BCInvasion,' you can't do that man. I mean, you can't. Was it a fireable offense? Well, it's not my decision, obviously Vince thought it was, which tells me there was probably some other stuff going on and that was the final straw. And I will say this, last year, 2016, Jimmy Jacobs was my co-writer on all of it. All of it! And the weeks he wasn't there I was like 'Ah f**k, I don't like this, I want Jimmy.' So he's very talented, and he really got me. I worked with him a few times and I went to [head writer] Dave Kapoor, I want Scoville, which is his real name, Chris Scoville, on every Jericho promo.

Watching this now. Southwest Championship Wrestling April 1983

Gino Hernandez vs Tonga John
Bob Orton, Jr. vs Arias Romero
Scott Casey vs Adrian Adonis
Bobby Jaggers vs Bob Sweetan
Rick McGraw and Armando Guerrero vs The Grapplers
Eric Embry vs Cocoa Samoa
We had this for like 2 months on a Spanish station in Chicago back in the 80's. Sunday night at midnight. This back then blew away a lot of the other companies I watched as I liked the rougher style. Plus it was interesting seeing guys like bruiser brody as a fan favorite in texas, and a heel in the AWA like 2 hiours later, lol.

The list of names who have carried the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title include names like Ric Flair, Lou Thesz, Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, Jack Brisco, Terry Funk, Dory Funk, Adam Pearce, AJ Styles and more. The name Tim Storm is new to many professional wrestling fans but the voice inside Tim has driven him to greatness.
As you learn about the current, reigning and defending NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion, you'll go inside his head and hear his real voice.
The legacy of NWA Wrestling is tied to the famous 10lbs of Gold and the men who held it.
