PWInsider, Torch And Meltzer Again, Prove Me Right (The irony is amusing)
Here are the stories all three did on Brian Christopher getting arrested again. A story I broke, hours ago and said, these guys would not only play catch up to me? But not give me any credit for breaking the story first.
As you can see. They proved me correct again.
Remember, these are the same whiny bitches who are the first ones to piss and moan if someone doesn't give THEM credit on a story. But when it comes time for them? To do the same and credit me? Funny how they find all sorts of ways to avoid that.
The irony of what these dipshits say and then do, is quite amusing. And by all means you want to tell them i said this, go ahead. You know what they'll all do? Nothing, not a damn thing but take it, just like they always have.

Name Change For The Blog
Since I have a Facebook Wrestling group with the same name I decided to go ahead and change the name of this blog to same name as the FB group.
Same snarcastic comments, same approach, just a different name that seems more fitting anyway.

Again Beating PWInsider, Meltzer and Torch with.. Ring Warriors to Debut on WGN America.
And again no credit will be given by them to me for breaking this out before them and them, having to catch up to me. :)
Ring Warriors, which was founded by the late Hiro Matsuda, announced that it will debut on WGN America on Saturday, September 15th at 8 a.m. ET/PT. The series, a joint venture between Florida based Ring Warriors and Nevada based Goin' Mobile Video Productions (GMVP), was acquired for worldwide distribution, marketing and licensing by California based Global Genesis Group (GGG). Calling the action for Ring Warriors will be the team of Blake Chadwick and Larry Brannon.
"I think Hiro would be very proud of what we are doing today with Ring Warriors," said Howard Brody, Matsuda's former partner and current Ring Warriors, LLC Chief Operations Officer. "Hiro had a vision that one day Ring Warriors would be on TV in the U.S. but he passed away before that was realized. After almost 20 years that vision is now a reality."

Beating Meltzer, PWInsider and Torch with... Former WWE Star Brian Christopher Arrested Again
Watch how they all will now play catch up to me and as usual, won't credit me with breaking out the story, BEFORE THEM :)
Former WWE star Brian Lawler, f.k.a. Brian "Grand Master Sexay" Christopher, was arrested earlier this month for DUI and evading police in Tennessee, according to TMZ.
Lawler, 46, was reportedly speeding and swerving around 1 am on July 7th. Lawler failed to stop when police tried to pull him over. When he was finally stopped, he allegedly "reeked of booze and had an open 12 ounce can in his center console." He was immediately arrested and booked for DUI and evading arrest. His bail was set at $40,000.
It is Lawler's second arrest this summer. Lawler was arrested in downtown Memphis on June 7th after leaving a Hampton Inn hotel without paying.
awler wrestled for WWE from 1997 through 2001, however was released from the company after he was arrested for possessing illegal drugs when he crossed the Canadian border for a WWE tour. He has had several arrests since then, including for public intoxication in 2009 and for another DUI in April of 2013.
Since his WWE departure in 2001, Lawler has had several short lived returns for the company, most recently teaming with Scotty Too Hotty in a losing effort to The Ascension at NXT Arrival in February of 2014.

MATT RIDDLE OUT OF PWG BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES AMID WWE SPECULATION
Matt Riddle has been pulled from this year’s Battle of Los Angeles, raising speculation as to where he’ll be heading next.
Pro Wrestling Guerilla made the announcement tonight on their Twitter account. Trevor Lee will take his place in the tournament, which is set to run September 14th through the 16th.
There is speculation that Riddle may be heading somewhere, as he has also pulled out of dates with Over the Top Wrestling in Dublin, Ireland. He is still scheduled for upcoming shows with EVOLVE, which are set to take place throughout August. He also currently holds the EVOLVE title.
On last night’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer mentioned that current rumors indicate that both New Japan and WWE are looking into bringing in Riddle, with NJPW having interest in using him for their shows in the United States. Both companies have expressed interest in Riddle in the past, but were wary of bringing him in due to previous marijuana drug test violations in the UFC.

This will probably be better than anything on Raw tonight. USA Championship Wrestling EP 20
JERRY LAWLER vs Matt Riviera! The battle continues between The King and The Loverboy.
Doug Gilbert ushers in a new war within USACW
Starr Power is in action
Like the WWE hasn't fucked up on other things they never created, there comes this
I'm sure, they'll screw this up as well. They have a long standing pattern of it.
World Wrestling Entertainment filed a trademark on the name "Starrcade" on 7/17, PWInsider.com has confirmed.
The event was initially created by Jim Crockett Promotions back in 1983 as a Thanksgiving night supershow, the title of their biggest event of the year. That tradition remained until the company shut down and was purchased by Turner Broadcasting, creating World Championship Wrestling. They retained the event, running it through December 2000. WWE acquired WCW in March 2001.
WWE used the Starrcade name last December to brand a house show in Greensboro, NC, the original home of the event. PWInsider.com had previously reported there were additional plans to additional events with the brand name.
While not confirmed, the timing of the trademark filing is interesting given that WWE is working on their first ever main roster women's PPV event, which may be announced as soon as tonight on Raw.
IMPACT WRESTLING BRINGING BOUND FOR GLORY 2018 TO NEW YORK CITY
Impact Wrestling's next pay-per-view is set to take place in New York City.
During last night's Slammiversary XVI broadcast, it was announced that Bound for Glory 2018 will be held at the Melrose Ballroom in Queens on Sunday, October 14. It will be Impact's third PPV of 2018. Slammiversary took place at the Rebel Entertainment Complex in Toronto tonight, while Redemption was held at the Impact Zone in Orlando this April.
Last year's Bound for Glory event took place at the Aberdeen Pavilion in Ottawa and was headlined by Eli Drake defending the company's Global Championship against Johnny Impact.
MLW ran the Melrose Ballroom for their Battle Riot show last week and will be returning to the venue on October 4. Game Changer Wrestling and Joey Janela's Lost in New York will be held there on August 17, which is the Friday of SummerSlam weekend.
Austin Obviously doesn't watch Indy Wrestling. Steve Austin On How Managers Should Still Have A Presence In Pro Wrestling
Because managers are a presence in many of them. Someone please inform him of that.
Bobby Heenan, Jimmy Hart, Paul Heyman, Jim Cornette, Sherri Martel, Freddie Blassie, and Paul Bearer are just a few of an extensive list of managers who assisted with creating future stars for NWA and WWE. Without Heenan, the Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant rivalry would not have the level of intrigue that it did. Without Paul Bearer, The Undertaker would not have been accompanied by the perfect mouthpiece to complement his character.
Steve Austin was recently discussing the concept of managers with MLW's Court Bauer on a recent episode of The Steve Austin Show. Austin, who developed his craft in an era where managers were an integral part of the pro wrestling business, voiced on the podcast how much his missed the manager presence.
"You just don't see [managers] anymore," said Austin. "To me, they were the salt and pepper on a great steak. Such colorful, flamboyant personalities, either that mouthpiece, or that dressing, or whatever it needs to be to enhance that talent further, or be the crutch, or be an addition to, and just make that person a superstar.
"The way I grew up watching wrestling when I was seven or eight years old, and going through the territories, and having my share of managers. Whether I liked them or not, or wanted them to be with me, I learned a lot from them. To me, they're part of the landscape that is pro wrestling."
Bauer added that the role of managers kept the babyfaces from getting stale, because they would fight the entire stable or faction instead of just one heel.
Examples of this is J.J. Dillon managing the Four Horsemen, Paul Jones managing Paul Jones' army (rivaling against Jimmy Valiant), and Paul Heyman managing the Dangerous Alliance (often rivaling against Sting). For babyfaces like Sting, Dusty Rhodes, Jimmy Valiant, and The Road Warriors, the entire heel group targeted them, which made them look even more heroic to the fans.
Austin credits Robert Fuller (Col. Robert Parker) as a manager who gave him a lot of tools to become successful in the business, as well as enhanced his character as a heel. Parker can now be seen in MLW managing Jake Hager (fka Jack Swagger).
Jerry Lawler vs Road Warrior Hawk (link fixed)
Below is the description from the person who posted it on Youtube, you make your own judgement.
Another not very good match. Lawler gives Hawk about 5 piledrivers that he no sells. Match ends with Hales, Travis and Bil Dundee running in. Samantha attacks Travis and then Hales takes Stacy and tries to put her in the Dumpster. Before the match is Sid leaving the building and a Lawler promo in a Cleveland Indians shirt.

Jerry Lawler Cuts Matt Riviera's Perm: USA Championship Wrestling - 7/14/18
After offering 74 year old wrestling legend “Superstar” Bill Dundee $100,000 to retire from pro wrestling at Oman Arena back on July 7th, 2018, “The LVR Boy” Matt Riviera & his manager Boyd Bradford were attacked by the “Superstar”, who then made off with the money. On this edition of USA Championship Wrestling TV, airing Saturday night’s at 10:30pm on WBBJ Channel 7 out of Jackson, TN, Matt Riviera came out to confront Dundee. This led to the surprise appearance by WWE Hall of Fame member Jerry “The King” Lawler, who went on to attack Matt Riviera and, along with Dundee, proceeded to cut the prized perm of “The LVR Boy”. Later in the show, Riviera came back out to challenge Lawler next week on USA Championship Wrestling TV.

Matt Taven: MSG Show Is A 'Big Pat On The Back' For Ring Of Honor
Matt Taven spoke with Hollywood Life on Ring of Honor's show at Madison Square Garden, and wrestling having a true "Worlds Champion." Here are some of the highlights:
ROH heading to Madison Square Garden in April:
"I mean being a Boston guy, we have always dominated New York for years so every time we go to New York, I feel I am the reason for the sell out or in the main event or get the biggest reaction in the crowd. So I have been the King of New York and probably the world for a while now. But, as far as Ring of Honor going into Madison Square Garden, to be a guy who personally – who, now doing the math – has been here for six years, which is crazy to think about. Even in my first dark match in 2009, the amount of time that I have been around this country and seen the growth. To see us go into that building is a big pat on the back. It is a big accomplishment and, for me personally, I have been with this company in its biggest years of growth. For me it is one of those notches on the belt and a source of pride.
"It shows we are doing the right thing. It is catching on. I don't think I get the credit I deserve obviously but I like to see the fruits of my labor go into things like getting into Madison Square Garden. As far as I am concerned for a match, it should be me defending the Ring Of Honor World Championship against whatever Melvin that wants to get slapped around in front of the biggest audience in Ring Of Honor history. But, that is almost so far down the road that I haven't thought of it too much. I am very proud of what we have accomplished as a company and to be one of the cornerstones of Ring Of Honor, especially in the last five years. It really lets you know tat you are doing the right thing and all your hard work is going into the right direction and it is starting to pay off. The more people we can get to see this product, the more we will make fans so its a great pat on the back for all the hard work that has been put on this company in the last few years."
What he'd like to see more of in pro wrestling:
"Just like in Hollywood, everything has been done. And it is like, 'what is old is new again' and so it is hard to pinpoint something that hasn't been done in wrestling. But we are getting to a point were we have really shrunk the globe and this bubble. I think something that needs to be done and I know WWE is global, but an actual World Champion, a Worlds Champion that defends his belt in New Japan or Ring Of Honor or CMLL and then go to Australia. And that does kind of happen in a sense, but it is not like the New Japan Championship is considered the ROH Championship. And vice versa. So to see someone defend a title in Tokyo on a Saturday and then Friday back in New York and then the next night in Mexico City. And that sounds like an absolute nightmare for travel wise and what to do to your body. But that is the only thing that can be done that hasn't been done before. I am trying to rack my brain for something else, but I am literally coming up with ways to make wrestlers lives even tougher so I should stop now. [Laughs]".
Wrestlinginc and PWInsider want people to give them credit on stories, BUT.. when they should do the same thing?
And here's a link to Wrestlinginc updating this. Same as the people at PWInsider, they get informed (by two people i know ) that I broke this first? No credit. But these bitches are, the very oneshttp://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2018/0722/643012/reports-of-brickhouse-brown-passing-were-incorrect/ who whine and cry when nobody gives them credit on stories they do. Love how the hypocrites show their true colors.
Saturday, July 21, 2018
Brickhouse Brown is NOT dead. Since Dave Scherer, Michael Johnson at Pwinsider, Wrestlinginc, Wade Keller and, Prowrestling dot net have been too lazy to update this, you can credit me with coming across this.
I'll be adding another screenshot in this story, from PWInsider. on how they announced this AFTER I did. And OF COURSE, they didn't credit me with finding this out before them. THIS GUY Johnson and Scherer are the fist ones to whine and bitch when some people won't give them credit on the stories they do, BUT when I break out the update before them, and at least four people (that I know of) informed them that I did it first, THIS IS how they act. I love how they won't do the very thing they bitch about. Don't you just love hypocrites? :)
FLIP GORDON LOSES NWA TITLE MATCH AT ROH HONOR FOR ALL
While there were some developments, the storyline of Flip Gordon trying to get booked for All In wasn't settled at ROH Honor for All.
Gordon unsuccessfully challenged for Nick Aldis' NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship at Friday night's show in Nashville, Tennessee. But the story of the match was Gordon seemingly earning Cody Rhodes' respect.
There was an angle where the match was restarted at one point. Aldis got the pin after hitting a piledriver and elbow drop, but Gordon's foot was on the rope. Cody was on commentary and joined the referees who were discussing the finish, pointing out that the pin shouldn't have been counted. Gordon got a near fall with the Star Spangled Stunner but ended up passing out in a cloverleaf.
Both Aldis and Cody showed respect to Gordon after the match. Cody (who wasn't mic'd) spoke to Gordon in the ring and raised his hand. Bully Ray then attacked Gordon after Cody left, continuing the feud they've been having in ROH.
Cody is set to challenge for the NWA title at All In on September 1 at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The only other match that's been announced at this point is Kazuchika Okada vs. Marty Scurll.
Austin Aries On How His IMPACT Return Shows The Positive Changes Made Internally

It's that time of the year again and IMPACT's Slammiversary is here and wrestling fans have a real spectacle to anticipate as Austin Aries looks to retain his IMPACT Championship against Moose this Sunday on pay per view. But in this interview specifically, Aries discusses in great length his remarkable career thus far and how he has managed to be wrestling's "belt collector" and unquestionably dominate the wrestling scene all over the world. In this excerpt, Aries comments on how his shocking return to IMPACT Wrestling reflects the positive changes the company has made and how IMPACT may be wrestling's best kept secret. This full episode can be downloaded at this link.

Austin Aries On How His Return To IMPACT Shows The Positive Changes Made Internally:
"It's completely different. I've said this before and Scott (D'Amore) says of all the things that I've said to be an ambassador that the one thing that stands out is the fact that I am actually there in IMPACT Wrestling. That should tell everybody that place is completely different. I would not be back there if there was anything remaining of the old mind-set of how that place was run. The talent was never the question it was the game plan and how they went about executing for me is how they were going to be held back and from the time that discussions started with Sonjay and with Scott and with Don it was for me about how they want to run the business."

"Wrestling is in a unique time and the way that we structure our relationships with talent and promotions which has been primarily dictated by one person's train of thought doesn't have to be the only way that wrestling is done. In my opinion nobody owns the patent on the art form of professional wrestling and the way it does its business. There is an opportunity now to do business differently with talent and from the promotion because the landscape is different. When I started to talk to them and got their philosophies and to kind of tell them my philosophies of how I think a successful promotion can be run, a lot of things started lining up and you are seeing they're executing it and they are really letting guys be independent contractors and having some freedoms in allowing them to keep their intellectual properties and trying to work with promotions and trying to extend the olive branch to different promotions and be kind of a hopper that some of the local promotions can get some notoriety in just working the partnership. So it is a cool thing and it is creating some unpredictability which we haven't had in wrestling for a while and for a guy like me to show up randomly at Ring of Honor or have two different title matches on two different television shows for two different promotions in the same week is stuff that hasn't really happened."
"You've got the Jericho cruise now and you will have Ring of Honor there and IMPACT Wrestling there and obviously you have the Lucha Underground connection and there is just so many things going on right now that are so unpredictable and it just makes it really exciting."
Eddie Edwards On Struggles With Hardcore Wrestling In 2018, How Slammiversary Is Different This Year
Wrestling Inc. founder Raj Giri recently spoke to Eddie Edwards ahead of Slammiversary where he is booked to face Tommy Dreamer in a House Of Hardcore Match. Their rivalry is a highlight of the 14th Slammiversary event. Edwards has seen plenty of changes in Impact Wrestling since his 2014 debut and spoke about how this year's Slammiversary event is a fresh start.
"You know it's kinda a new era, a new era for Impact Wrestling right now. So every time we have a pay-per-view it's like a fresh start for the company, for the product going forward. This is also Slammiversary with the new ownership and everything so in that sense, it truly is a fresh start for the product. It's the biggest pay-per-view of the year so it's time to put up or shut up and go out there and deliver, you know?"
Edwards spoke of the new Impact Wrestling regimen as being on the same page. They are looking to better Impact Wrestling and distance themselves from the preconceived notions about the previous product. They know it won't happen all at once, but there is a dedication to move forward and put out the best pro wrestling product possible.
"It's very comfortable to know everybody from the boys to the office to the production -- everybody in the back, we're all on the same page. To be able to know that and not second-guess anything that's going on or question anything that's going on. To know everybody has that same goal to make Impact Wrestling the best Impact Wrestling that we can. You know one day at a time.
"We know we're not gonna save the world in an hour in the day. It's gonna take time, but it's one step forward each and every day and that's our goal to know that everybody is on that same page. That's definitely a good thing."
Edwards has Dreamer to look forward to this Sunday in Toronto. Edwards opened up about working with The Innovator Of Violence. He might play it up like he despises Dreamer on Impact Wrestling, but Edwards still holds a ton of respect for the ECW Original.
"Obviously he's an innovator. He's one of the hardcore icons and legends. You know just the other day my brother was texting me saying how cool it is to be able to do something like this with Tommy who I was a huge fan of before I got into wrestling. He's someone I watched and obviously somebody that I listened to and I tried to learn from him.
"To be able to go out there in a match like this in a big pay-per-view like this and go out there in a match like this. A House Of Hardcore Match, he is the original ECW. So to be able to go out there and put this violence out there and see what we can make with what we have I think it's a unique opportunity to be able to go out there with a guy that I respect so much.
"We're gonna go out there and basically leave it all out there because these types of matches you have to feel that way going in. That's something I'm comfortable with going out there. I know it's gonna hurt. I know I'm gonna be beaten and battered but, that's fine with me. Because we're just going out there to create something memorable and create a great atmosphere."
Edwards is coming off of an intense feud with Sami Callihan. The former TNA World Heavyweight Champion was left with a faceful of broken bones thanks to the infamous spot where Callihan whacked him in the face with a baseball bat. He discussed the idea of hardcore wrestling and if it is difficult to perform in today's modern era. Fans have seen a lot at this point and could be considered jaded. Edwards knows the story he and Dreamer need to tell and that should make all the difference.
"It depends on how you look at it," Edwards said. "We have that emotion going into it, you know? That's a story we can use and we can build on and the whole thing.
"You know it's not just about going out there and doing crazy things and you know getting these 'holy bleep' chants, no. It's about this story, it's about doing these things in that story and making it something people can relate to. You know, everybody's been pissed off. Everybody's been angry. Everybody's been wronged by someone.
"They are gonna feel and understand, 'okay I can understand why he hit this guy with object X, Y, Z,' you know what I mean. There's things people want to do in their everyday life that we're gonna be able to do on Sunday. Things they've always wanted to do. They've always wanted to hit their boss with a kendo stick or hit somebody who screwed them over with a trash can. That's what we're gonna be doing on Sunday."

Booker T Says An In-Ring Return Match Would Not Be For WWE
As an on-screen personality in a non-wrestling role, Booker T is able to be part of the business while remaining retired. Although Booker announced he was hanging up his boots in July 2016, he has not closed the door an a ring return.
The Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast recently had the five-time World Champion as a guest where he addressed the idea of stepping back in the ring for competition. Booker T said you can't say anything definite in pro wrestling. He is still in great shape and can workout alongside his students at the Reality Of Wrestling school. This is also where people should expect to see him if he does perform again.
"My thing is this, I went into the Hall of Fame in 2013. A lot of people who enter the Hall of Fame it becomes the end for them. Retirement is their only steps, but my thing is this you never say never. Especially for a fighter.
"You never know when that last match is. We all like to say that we have one more match in us. My thing is that I am in good shape. I am in never going to be 100% in tip-top shape like when I was twenty-five or something like that. I think for my age I think I am doing pretty good. I can do more pushups than any of my students in my school. I can do more pull-ups than any of my students as well. So I say, why not go have one more match when I can still do this?
"There will come a time when I won't be able to do this, so why not do it while I still can? I say, go out there and have some fun. Let's get something straight though, I don't want anyone to think about me coming back for a SummerSlam or a WrestleMania. If I do come back, it is going to be at Reality of Wrestling. It'll be against one of my students just to show them what it is that I teach them so that they can go out there and get things taught from the right perspective."
Booker T discussed the idea of being content with his life. He reflected on the champions he's been fortunate enough to face and realizes the cool moments he's been a part of. As he continues to push his own limits, Booker T says he is living in the present while remembering all he's accomplished. He might have another match left in him, but Booker is still happy where he is at this stage in his career.
"I have been able to face champions like 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair to the current champion, AJ Styles. I don't know too many people that can say something like that. That is an awesome stat. For me to be a part of that, and my name to be part of it is pretty cool, but not to leave off that I may have one more match left in me.
"My thing is that I am happy and I am content where I am at right now. People ask me all the time whether I miss it, and I say, no. I don't miss it because I got to do everything that I wanted to do in pro wrestling, but I look at myself now and say, hey, why not push the limit to see where I can go? I tried out for the American Gladiators way back in the day.
"I fell out in the first round. I had to do 50 pushups with my fingerprints but that wasn't something that I was prepared for. I don't ever look back and say that I didn't try. I always tell my younger students that you don't ever want to have any regrets in life. You can't go back in time or anything like that. I am living in the present."

True to form WWE can't do much right, from A to B booking they're very challenged
