I Told people My Cody Rhodes Story Got 'Someone's " Attention.. Here's The proof.
Here's the link to the story I did yesterday about Bring twenty bucks and use your own camera to get a pic with Cody. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2018/09/bring-your-own-camera-and-pay-20-bucks.html Someoen who reads this blog took it to Twitter as I've said many times I don't want a Twitter account. It's enough to catch up on things on FB that having a Twitter would be too much. If someone takes a post on here and posts it there on Twitter, Instagram or whatever, there's nothing I can do about it. But because someone did do that, look who has their attention on this story. Good bad or ugly in the end it I guess helps get the world out on this blog but i do have to say, having THIS GUY'S attention sure has made things interesting.
Once Again Wrestlinginc Uses my Story But Gives me No Credit (Proof is provided)
I do know for a fact that the link to this story was sent to Werestlinginc and a few other places via at least one person on Twitter (doing me a favor) So they had the link to my story on it. THEY, at Wrestlinginc again, decided to neglect giving me proper credit for it. So when i staert using their stuff, they now have no right to whine and cry because they shadfted me knowing they had the link to my story? Fuck em. Least we know how they operate there at Wrestling inc, don't we.
"How Simple Can It Be"? Article On Booking Simple Angles I Just Wrote.
I find it funny that the 'creative' in WWE and Impact (I can probably add ROH too) seem to have a hard time 'creating' things that truly get over with fans. WWE Micromanages so much that they've forgotten that the simplest things have helped get an angle or feud over. Impact with Don “I'm going to get rid of the silliness in Impact' Callis, who with Scotty D'Amore books and writes the 'silliness' that's STILL in Impact Wrestling also has forgotten how simple things are way more effective.
So instead of saying the examples that prove my point, I'm going to show them. Because proof is a mother fucker and the proof shows, I'm very correct in this opinion.
David Von Erich vs Terry Gordy from World Class Championship Wrestling. This has always been my first 'go to' when it comes to simple angles that work. Kevin Von Erich was injured by the Freebirds so he couldn't wrestle Buddy Roberts, so David substituted for Kevin, Gordy for Roberts and if you watch the match. You'll see how well that went over. No scripted promos no micromanaging every little detail, just simple straight up angle between two stables that helped further their ongoing feud.
Bobby Heenan burns Pepper Gomez with a lit cigar. Long before Johnny Valiant's 'Dream Team' did it to Barry Windham in the WWF (and other examples I'm sure I can come up with) 1974 in Bob Luce/ Dick The Bruiser's WWA in Indiana is where this originated from. Another simple angle to hype up an upcoming house show (your know, when house shows actually MEANT SOMETHING? Remember how that used to be? ) If Gomez wins then Heenan doesn't come out and manage in the main event. Heenan was good even back then. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHsYr-52wRw
Roddy Piper confronts Matt Borne. This is from Don Owens Pacific Northwest Wrestling's “Portland Wrestling” show. Art Barr (Known as Beetlejuice at the time, and later in WCW as 'The Juicer”) was getting bullied by Matt Bourne, Piper makes the save and a hair vs hair match is booked. Very simplistic but very effective and by how the fans reacted to it, got over well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpnW_DcYU_I
Jerry 'The King' Lawler vs Kerry Von Erich (AWA World Title vs World Class World Title) This is from the Sporttorium in Dallas Texas. The very first time Lawler and Von Erich faced each other. Lawler pops Kerry before the match, it's 'alleged' that Lawler's glove is loaded, and enhances the title vs title rivalry. One move in one match that yeilds lots of heat. See how simple this is? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrGrP98AOQA
So there you go, Four different examples from three different wrestling federations, on how simple it is to do angles that work. Maybe WWE and Impact should take notes from these examples so they can go back to remembering how simple it used to be, and can still be. It's pretty sad that indy groups that run weekly shows book more simply and get over more stuff than the major feds do.. Another lesson maybe the major feds should go and re-learn.

An Article From An Old Web Page of Mine, What I Thought Then? Still Holds Today
And I still "Cut thru the bullshit" as a 'sheet writer' today, unfortunately there's so much bullshit and it's too easy for me to cut thru it. BUT, nobody else wrestling writer wise does it so I guess the old niche has become the very niche that works. If my formula isn't broke, why fix it :) http://prowrestlingmemories.angelfire.com/howibecameafan.html
"GGRREEAATT Reporting" There, PWInsider, LOL. Look at this, Funny as hell comeback.
Maybe they should've asked Edge about this before "exclusively reporting" anything, LMAO! This is what you call a 'BOOM" moment.
MLW Fusion Episode 21: Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix vs. Drago & Rey Horus
In a pure clash of pure lucha libre, Drago and Horus will attempt to grapple the gold away from the Luchas Bros… but can they?
We’ll also get an update on Kevin Sullivan following the vicious attack on Sully by Brian Pillman, Jr and the Hart Foundation. “The French Canadian Frankenstein” PCO stomps his way to the squared circle this week as he takes on an MLW original in the “Notorious 187” Homicide! Will PCO prove he’s truly not human in his singles debut in MLW or will the street certified veteran Homicide thump PCO back north of the border? Team Filthy’s Fred Yehi will also be in competition as he takes on newcomer Richard Holliday. Plus the advocate for sleaze Joey Ryan swings by. Literally. Tony Schiavone and Matt Striker call the action in NYC!

I'm Sure I'm The Only One Finding This Funny. Chris Jericho "All In" Appearance Resulted In No Immediate Sales For His Cruise
Chris Jericho's surprise appearance at "All In" served two functions. One is that it added yet another element to the historic nature of the event as no one expected Jericho to show up with Fozzy performing 500 miles away that very same night.
The other function of Jericho showing up was to further his multi-country feud with Kenny Omega. After attacking Omega, Jericho then told him "I'll see you at the Chris Jericho Cruise" which will continue the feud between the two that started at Wrestle Kingdom 12.
Yet despite further building up the Jericho-Omega showdown on the cruise, Jericho revealed that cruise sales haven't benefitted in the manner that he thought they would.
"I found out today that I sold zero cabins yesterday," Jericho said on his podcast a couple of days after All In. "Everyone's watching the pay-per-view [on demand] so hopefully it goes that way."
Omega was previously announced for the cruise before All In and most figured that he would be involved with Jericho in some way. Jericho confirmed a match between the two at All In but it hasn't done much for cabin sales as of yet.
Chris Jericho's Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager at Sea will set sail on Oct. 27 so there's still time for fans to buy in. Jericho describes it as a "once in a lifetime experience".
(If you say so, LOL).
Bring Your Own Camera, And Pay 20 Bucks For A Pic w/Cody, What Bullshit.
Whoever thought this was a great idea is a fucking moron.
Hollywood, CA (September 10, 2018) - Fresh off of “All In” Ring of Honor Star and newly crowned NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Cody Rhodes will be at Championship Wrestling from Hollywood (CWFH) on Sunday September 16 (3:30P bell) at the Oceanview Pavilion in Port Hueneme, CA and you’ll have your opportunity to meet “The American Nightmare” in person during a post event photo opportunity.

Championship Wrestling From Hollywood is that cheap they can't even just provide a camera for this? (Shakes head).

Ring Warriors Debuts On WGN America This Saturday (and I have WGN America on my cable :) )
My DVR is going to be busy every Saturday now. recording Ring Warriors in the morning and then Championship Wrestling From Hollywood (which I have on an indy station where i live) late at night. Who needs the major feds when this is readily available for me, along with all the stuff I watch on Youtube? :)
The Ring Warriors promotion will debut nationally on United States TV this Saturday 9/15 on WGN America at 8 AM Eastern/7 AM Central.
Among those scheduled to appear on the company's weekly series include Melissa Anderson, Wes Brisco, Michael Tarver, Santana Garrett, former WWE star Chaz Warrington, The Hotshots (former TNA star Chase Stevens and former WWE developmental and TNA star Cassidy Riley), Luke Hawx, Lucha Underground star Marty the Moth, Alexander Hammerstone, Funny Bone, The 1% (Royce Isaacs and Jorel Nelson), Chris Bey, Alex Chamberlain, Chance Prophet, Tokyo Monster Kahagas and The Slambinos, Francisco Ciatso, A.J. Jannazz and more.
Former WWF and AWA announcer Ken Resnick will lead the company's broadcast team, alongside Blake Chadwick and Larry Brannon.
Resnick is formerly an AWA interview guy like Gene Okerlansd was, so it'll be cool to see him again. Chadwick also does commentary for the West Coast Wrestling Connections shows that air out of the Portland Oregon area on Twitch, I believe it is as well as their local Fox Station.
Joey Mercury Arrest Update.
Former WWE star and current Ring of Honor Producer Adam Carlson Birch aka Joey Mercury, 39 years old, was released from the Cook County Department of Corrections over the last 48 hours after being arrested over "All In" weekend when authorities discovered an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Orange County, Florida.
Authoriries in Schaumburg, IL confirmed to that Birch is no longer being held at the facility. We have been told that the warrant is in relation to an old "non-violent" issue. The Schaumburg Police Department stated that they “had contact” with Birch at 6:58 AM outside of 50 North Martindale Road, which is the address of The Marriott Schaumburg. PWInsider.com was told that authorities were notified of Birch sleeping in his car outside the hotel. They approached Birch and after running his personal information, discovered he was wanted on the aforementioned outstanding warrant in Orange County, Florida and was taken into custody. He was not charged and will not be charged with anything in Illinois.
Birch had been involved in the planning of “All In”, including helping to put together the pre-show battle royal (one of the best battle royals in years, as it turned out) and work the gorilla position, but after his arrest, others stepped in to handle Birch’s duties.

Moose Talks The Difference Between His Time In ROH And Impact, Favorite Feud
Moose spoke with Pro Wrestling Post about the difference between his time in ROH and Impact, the future of his character, and his favorite feuds. Here are some of the highlights:
The biggest difference from his time in ROH and Impact:
"I used to think that every match back then I had to do a cool dive or a high-risk maneuver that would take its toll and damage to my body. Whereas now, I don't even think about doing it. It doesn't even cross your mind."
Where he sees the Moose character going:
"To see how Moose was when I started in Impact Wrestling two years ago compared to where he is at now, we can see an evolution in the character. It will just play itself out because if it's not broken then don't fix it, right?"
Feuds he has been the most pleased with:
"I think my feud with Austin [Aries] means the most to me. When we look at what is at stake, being for the World Championship, it doesn't get bigger than that. We are fighting over the biggest prize in our company, which is the Impact Wrestling World Championship, so whatever other feuds I have been in it hasn't reached the magnitude of this. It's just what we are fighting for that makes it the most important, what is on the line. The things I did with Bobby [Lashley] were pretty big. It was a cross-promotional thing with [American Top Team] and MMA, and I know fans loved it. I definitely learned a lot working with Bobby."
Guess What David, it was one Of the Worst Ideas, Ever. David Arquette On Why Vince Russo Thought His WCW World Title Win Would Be A Good Idea
Former WCW World Heavyweight Champion David Arquette stopped by 317 Gimmick Street for a conversation with WWE Hall Of Famer Steve Austin. Among many other things, Arquette discussed his pro wrestling fandom, why he is getting back into the pro wrestling genre, and winning WCW's top prize nearly 20 years ago.
According to Arquette, he was always a fan of pro wrestling and taking on the film project of Ready To Rumble was just a way for the legacy actor to reconnect with his beloved pastime.
"I loved [pro] wrestling since growing up." Arquette recalled, "I saw Andre The Giant and Hulk Hogan back at the Sports Arena. We'd go to all the roadshows growing up, so I always loved it. And then, Ready To Rumble happened and it was just a chance for me to sort of tap back into something I loved as a kid and sort of tap into the crazy fan that I was. And then, I got to meet all my heroes. I got to travel with Hulk Hogan and Sting, 'Diamond' Dallas Page, and get to know the guys. And in promoting the movie, they had me go on the road and I ended up the champ. I don't know what happened, but it happened."
Also during the interview, Arquette shared that he started training for pro wrestling recently because people gave him so much grief for his failed world title run in WCW.
"I never really got the opportunity to wrestle, so just 18 years later, after a lot of people gave me grief, I was like, 'I want to do it right,' so I've been training with Peter Avalon, a great wrestler/trainer." Arquette continued, "I'm getting back into [pro] wrestling 18 years later. I just had my first match... It was amazing... Against RJ City. I got my butt kicked, but it's alright. It was good. It was a good match at Championship Wrestling From Hollywood."
Apparently, Vince Russo, who crowned Arquette WCW champ, thought the world title run would have worked out differently because Arquette was a true fan.
"I actually recently talked to Vince Russo on his podcast." Arquette remembered, "and then, he explained it to me. He said that part of the reason he thought it would be alright because when I first got there, I was running around. I did something with, Jarrett, Jeff Jarrett, and I had his guitar and I went around all the wrestlers and had them sign it. I was just a fan. And he was like, and that was part of the reason I was different. I wasn't just an actor. I was truly a fan of wrestling, so that's kind of the idea behind it."
Arquette noted that he thought being WCW World Heavyweight Champion was a mistake, but he was talked into it.
"Yeah, I said I didn't think it was a good idea!" Arquette admitted, "but, then, after a few minutes, I thought it would be fun just to travel and get a little taste of the business. So yeah."
Justin Credible Released From Jail (for how long THIS TIME?)
Former WWE and ECW star PJ Polaco, a.k.a. Justin Credible, was released from the New Haven Correctional Facility on Saturday. He was arrested last Wednesday for third degree assault, disorderly conduct and violation of his protective order. It was his second arrest in the last 30 days. Due to the protective order and terms of his release, he is not allowed to return home to his wife Jill and family. He has a critical court date on October 1st.
David Gere, who is one of the producers of the CREDIBLE documentary,. bailed him out. He was held on $50,000 bond. "I just came out of there," Polaco said to various sources. "That's a place I don't want to be. For all the fans that have supported me, trust me, I've been in this business for 25 years and 45 years of my entire f--king life, not to go out like this. Not for you, not for me, not for anything, I will not let you down. I swear to Christ as I stand here today, I will not go back there ever again.".
The producers of CREDIBLE have been chronicling the highs and lows of Polaco's journey. Their provision to Polaco was that he immediately begin a formal treatment program. Recent attempts at inpatient treatment have fallen short. Polaco is checking into an intense recovery program program this Monday for 30 days in Kent, Connecticut.
"Pete not only needs help through immediate treatment which is set to start next week, but he need to get out of jail which we were able to arrange [on Saturday]," Executive Producer Douglas Cartelli said. "Pete has been on the right path, but he has recently derailed - again. The hope for Pete as shown in the documentary is to make a complete recovery and win back his life."
"PJ has been fighting for light and now for his basic freedom, as serious charges and the very real fear of extended imprisonment is hanging hard lover him," added Gere." Those of us who care greatly for him are fighting with PJ to send away the darkness he has become so accustomed to."

Matt Riddle tweeted a video of Dana White insulting him from years ago and questioning where Riddle could go to make the same money he did in the UFC. Riddle wrote in the tweet: “Hey Dana remember that time you fired me and talked all that sh*t on me to the world and called me a loser? I just wanted to say thank you for everything dummy.” Riddle, who has yet to make his NXT debut, also noted that he was backstage at last night’s NXT house show in Daytona Beach, Florida.

This Weeks WWE's "Hidden Gems" Are, Guess What? Already Been Available On Youtube, LMAO!
This is becoming a bad running joke, WWE claiming 'new matches' being added to their network are 'hidden gems' when they're readily available on Youtube. Can the WWE really be THIS FUCKING STUPID? Well in a word, yes. Here's proof. You can thank me, again.
This
week’s WWE Network Hidden Gems additions features Mae Young Classic
2018 participants. One has Victoria vs. Mercedes Martinez from the
6/12/06 episode of Sunday Night Heat. The other is a bout from the
2/9/97 episode of WCW Worldwide, where Meiko Satomura teamed with
Madusa to take on Akira Hokuto and Kaoru.
So you mean THIS match of Victoria vs. Mercedes Martinez from the 6/12/06 episode of Sunday
Night Heat? LMAO! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu_Six3eltM And THIS MATCH of Medusa & Meiko Satomira vs Akira Hokuto & Kaoru from Worldwide Fed. 8th 1997? ROFLMAO! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2AitOxKGO8
Yes indeed, the WWE is really, this fucking stupid.
Justin Credible Back In Jail
Former WWE and ECW star Justin Credible (PJ Polaco) has been arrested for the second time in the last 30 days. Connecticut state records show that Polaco was arrested in Waterbury, CT on Tuesday for Misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct, Misdemeanor 3rd Degree Assault and Felony Criminal Violation of a Restraining Order. He is currently incarcerated at the New Haven Correctional Center in New Haven, CT. Credible's status is listed as "Unsentenced" but he does have a $50,000 bond. This is much higher than the $7,500 bond he received for the August 14 arrest.
Credible currently has a court date scheduled for Monday, October 1 in Waterbury. It looks like all of his recent domestic cases will be dealt with on that day. The following cases are on the docket for that court date: Tuesday's arrest; the March 3, 2017 arrest (Misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct, Misdemeanor 2nd Degree Threatening); the December 1, 2017 arrest (Misdemeanor 2nd Degree Criminal Mischief, Misdemeanor 2nd Degree Breach of Peace, Felony Criminal Violation of a Protection Order); the August 14, 2018 arrest (Misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct, Felony Violation of Protective Order).
Let's See Waltman Do Better Then. Sean Waltman Says It's "Inexcusable" That "All In" Main Event Was Cut Short Due To Time
Like WWE and WCW have never done that? Haven't cut match time? They have and you know it, dumb ass. But let's see YOU Waltman, promote a show that sells 10,000 seats in under 30 minutes and see you do better with the time for the main event. Call Waltman out on that and I bet he'll come up with excuses.
Sean Waltman discussed All In on the latest edition of his podcast, This is the part I'm talking about.

Sean Waltman discussed All In on the latest edition of his podcast, This is the part I'm talking about.
Marty Scurll vs. Kazuchika Okada being the match of the night at All In:
"For me that was by far the best match on the show, however they bogarted time and I am little bummed that the Golden Elite versus (Rey) Mysterio, Bandido and Fenix didn't get the time they deserved. It was their show and they got screwed on the time. We have to stick to our time, it's inexcusable that it happened to those guys. It does take some points away from the match for me knowing that, but it was amazing and Marty Scurll is one of my favorites. They have amazing chemistry, told the best story and took their time on things. To me that was the match of the night."

Christopher Daniels "Owns" The Marks On Twitter
Christopher Daniels took to Twitter to respond to fans arguing about the success of All In by comparing it to WWE. Daniels noted that he's not against WWE, but is "tired of being tagged by people arguing whether or not 11K+ people at All In qualifies as a success or not," as seen below.
"OOOOO" WWE Dissed By Kenny Omega.
IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega spoke to Sports Illustrated's Extra Mustard section just after his victory against Pentagon Jr. at "All In." Here are some of the highlights:
Pentagon Jr.:
"Pentagon not only has the untrainable 'It' factor, but also the rare ability to adapt and succeed wherever he competes. He has a unique charisma about him that fans connect with and regardless of where he competes or what style is prominent, he seamlessly blends in—yet stands apart from everyone else on the card."
WWE and wanting to offer a different product to fans:
"Fans, wrestlers, and even the general public have been conditioned to believe that there's an enormous skill gap between WWE and everyone else. A major league and a minor league. It's either you're there or you're just not good enough. While it's true their collection of talent is undeniable, a small group of us have bet on ourselves and on the unique alternative vision we have for pro wrestling. What they can offer in flash, we can offer in substance. While their writers produce TV for a certain demographic, we're producing stories for fans that want something a little different."
Another Example Of The "Great Booking Logic" in WWE (rolls eyes and shakes his head)
- 205 Live GM Drake Maverick was paired with The Authors of Pain last night as their new manager. Despite AOP being heels and Maverick being a face on 205 Live, It was indicated that he’ll still be GM going forward.
- Yep, that certainly makes all the sense in the world eh? Maybe in a mental patient theory sort of way it does.
TESSA BLANCHARD SIGNS WITH WOW, WOMEN OF WRESTLING
AXS TV and WOW, Women of Wrestling, just announced the following:
TESSA BLANCHARD SIGNS WITH
WOW-WOMEN OF WRESTLING
WOW-WOMEN OF WRESTLING
Third Generation Wrestling Star Signs with Jeanie Buss’ WOW Superheroes for Debut in Los Angeles at AXS TV Tapings
Los Angeles, CA – September 5, 2018 – Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss announced that Tessa Blanchard, one of the biggest independent wrestling stars in the country today, has signed to become the newest WOW Superhero in the Buss owned WOW-Women Of Wrestling.
Tessa Blanchard was born for the business and is a third-generation professional wrestler. The long line of wrestling royalty includes her grandfather, Joe Blanchard, her father Four Horsemen member, Tully Blanchard, and step-father Magnum T.A.
“Knowing the expectations of our WOW fans to see the best in women’s professional wrestling, we are elated to sign Tessa Blanchard,” WOW Owner, Jeanie Buss said. “Tessa enhances and elevates our athletic roster of talent beyond measure and we can hardly wait to showcase her skills in the series set to broadcast on Mark Cuban’s AXS TV.”
Blanchard is a global presence and has held the championship title in the U.S., Mexico and Japan and is currently the champion of the worldwide-distributed Impact Wrestling promotion based out of Canada. If the 22-year-old third-generation wrestling star is able to capture the WOW Championship that will be broadcast on AXS TV in January 2019, Blanchard could arguably be one of the brightest stars in the world of professional wrestling.
“I am grateful to both Impact Wrestling and the WOW executives for working out the details to allow me to pursue my dream of competing at the highest levels within our industry,” Blanchard said. “The success I’ve experienced in the past month in winning the Impact Championship, winning in Chicago at the ‘All In’ event in front of over 10,000 people, and now signing with WOW is what dreams are made of. My next dream to come true that will top off my year’s success will be when I beat Santana Garrett to win the WOW World Championship.”
The WOW Live Event Tapings happen on October 10th and October 11th, 2018 in downtown Los Angeles at the famed Belasco Theater. AXS TV will record all the WOW action, for broadcast beginning in early 2019.

Behind The Titantron | The Final Days of Brian Pillman | Episode 41
On 5 October 1997, Brian Pillman was found not alive in a hotel, the day he was scheduled for the WWF’s pay-per-view, Badd . Pillman, who had found success as a small man in a big man’s sport pushed himself relentlessly in achieving success, sacrificing his body and arguably his soul in doing so. Consequently, did his relentless quest for success lead to his premature end? Some believe Pillman pushed himself so hard he set himself on an inevitable path to self-destruction while others believe he was killed by random fate thanks to a hereditary heart condition. Even now, controversy surrounds both Pillman’s career and the events surrounding it. Join us now as Behind the Titantron looks at The Last Days of Brian Pillman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p_88KOBkBc

No Logic AGAIN When It Comes To WWE And Their "Creative Ideas' (rolls eyes)
WWE announced that WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley (currently in the middle of his 20 Years of Hell one man show tour) will return to Monday Night Raw next week in New Orleans, LA to celebrate the anniversary of his 1998 Hell in A Cell bout against the Undertaker. This appears to be part of WWE's build towards the 10/6 Super Show-Down match that has been announced as the final in-ring encounter between The Undertaker and Triple H. WWE did not address Foley's 2017 storyline firing as the Raw General Manager and it appears that storyline point will likely be overlooked and forgotten.
Add to that Kevin Owens "quits" but comes back a week later? HUH? Can someone, SOME ONE, hell ANYONE get hired there as a logic editor with some balls so that way they can go to Vince McMahon and say "hey, this makes no sense, how about you have your creative Dept. make it more logical". Of course that'll never happen because WWE doesn't believe in logical booking, not do they seem to give a shit about it. But yet they want their fans to just 'go along' with their illogical bullshit booking.
And people wonder why, I don't this shit anymore. There's two examples right there why. The creative there is so creatively challenged it's past the point of ridiculousness, and quite frankly.. Really fucking pathetic.

Explaining My Beef With Dave Scherer At PWInsider, And Why He's An idiot.
I've had more than a few people either
email me or message me on FB why I have this beef with Columnist Dave
Scherer at PWInsider. If you knew what I knew then you might
understand why what's there is there. So What I'm going to do is
explain it. I'm also goiung to put some other things that are claimed
to task as well. Take note though, that I know Scherer will see this
but he won't have the balls to acknowledge it freely. You'll have to
be one of his “VIP Members” At PWInsider who have to 'pay' to
hear what he thinks (why anyone would want to do that, is fucking
idiotic, but yes, people do pay).
Someone I know had emailed me and asked
if he could suggest me to Scherer as being part of the PWInsider
staff as a contributor based on how I focus a lot on indy wrestling.
My answer was 'sure, give it a shot but I bey he'll find a reason to
say no”. Needless to say, I was right. His reply was more or less
because what I write wouldn't 'monetize' his webpage, though he does
have others who post Indy wrestling things freely on their
PWInsiderxtra web page. Makes you wonde rif those people have to
'pay' in order to have their results posted since this was Scherer's
logic about monetizing”.
A few emails into it Scherer says (and
I posted the email here as proof because proof is, a mother fucker :)
) “I could care less what that guys says, he has tried to make a
name for himself by slandering legitimate reporters, I just ignore
him”. HHMMM If that was true then the other screen shots of an
email convo he and I had that are posted, would've never existed..
Again, proof is a mother fucker and needless to say, Putting his foot
in his mouth is something Scherer has proven to be quite good at
doing. Also claiming the guy who emailed him was me was also another
dumb decision he made as you see by the ACTUAL email convo I posted
here.
But let's take what he said to task,
shall we? Because again, either he's clueless, ignorant or doesn't
know any better when he says shit without thinking. I 'tried to make
a name for myself'.. Well, this is where I get to with pleasure, put
him in his place on that claim.
According to the Wikipedia page that's
dedicated to him he..Founded his dirt sheet The Wrestling Lariat in
1995.. I remember writing my first column for a little monthly dirt
sheet out of Mississippi named “Pro Wrestling Monthly” back in
1993, by 1994 I was writing regularly for that one, Another one
called Global Pro Wrestling News based in Alabama, as well as The
Wrestling Edge Monthly newsletter which was based in New York City.
Here's a link to where I wrote about HOW, I became a sheet writer
that I did on an old Angelfire web page I once used.
http://prowrestlingmemories.angelfire.com/sheetwriter2.html You click that, and this one here...
http://prowrestlingmemories.angelfire.com/drawingheat.html and you'll see that I had or HAVE already made a name for myself with
what I wrote. The latter link was based on heat I had with the late
Dennis Caroluzzo, and his NWA in new Jersey over what they got busted
for. Question someone like IWF promoter in New Jersey Tommy Fierro
and he'll remember this since he took part in it and got checked,
along with Caroluzzo and others for what they did in 'retaliation' of
me writing the truth on Caroluzzo's NWA.
And let's not forget I also contributed
articles to Wrestling Then and Now, another monthly newsletter back
in the day as well. Proof you ask? Proof you get right here with
this,
http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling3/thenandnow/articles/artone.html and this, which is the experience of locally promoting my first show
in Rochester, NH for WWA New England.http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling3/thenandnow/articles/promoter.html These come from where? The old Wrestling Then and Now web page on
Angelfire. Add to this three articles I contributed to Wrestling
World magazine (one on Sylvano Sousa's Atlantic Wrestling Federation
in NH/Mass. One on WWA New England and a third one on the Eastern
Wrestling Alliance when they were based in Maine) and I do say that
Scherer's claim of me 'trying to make a name for myself' has been
shot to shit. Like I said, proof.. IS, a mother fucker and that's an
awful lot of proof to put Scherer in his place.
I also to this day write for Dann
Lennard's “Feed The Gorilla' fanzine that's based in Australia. I
just recently did another article for that that will be published in
a few weeks. Been writing for Dann's various fanzines since 1994, so
there's that as well Scherer, How's it feel to really look stupid at
this moment?
Here's another claim about Scherer from
this Wikipedia page. “Scherer played an important role in making
ECW noticed in the early 90's thru tape trading”. Excuse me a
second while I start laughing, hahahahahahahhahaa.. Funny, it wasn't
Scherer who got me interested in ECW tapes, it was actually two
different people I was trading tapes with who taped the tv shows
themselves.. Guy named “Steve” in New York and a guy named “Mark”
who lived in Old Saybrook, CT. and got ECW both on Sportschannel
Philly and the MSG Network on his cable system.. Plus add in the fact
that RF VIDEO had $1200 full page ads in Pro Wrestling Illustrated
every month claiming to be the 'official distributor' of ECW tapes
(and one of the links I shared, how I became a sheet writer, explains
how instead of getting an ECW Merchandise catalog every time I
requested one, I got a video update from RF VIDEO instead). So that
being the case how is it that Scherer did shit when there were others
selling and trading ECW tapes and I got the tapes from them? Makes
you go, HHMMMMMMMM.
The other screen shots that have an
email conversation that DID happen between me and Scherer (my only
interaction ever with him) was about something I caught on his
PWInsider web page, a media call with Bruce Pritchard that only 'VIP
Members' who 'pay' for a membership could listen to. But looking at
other wrestling news sites like The Torch and Wrestlinginc, they had
a link for ANYBODY who wanted to hear it, could click the link and
hear it. I simply emailed him and asked him why should someone 'pay'
for your VIP membership to hear something they can go somewhere else
and listen to it for free. You can by the conversation he wasn't
'getting it'. Hell you can go to Youtube and if you know where to
look? Same thing, hear it without having to 'pay' for a membership. I
even sent him a link to the Torch where they had a link you could
click and hear it for free but that sailed over Scherer's head as
well. What he did was what all people seem to do when I catch them on
shit and they can't ballroom dance around it convincingly, he did the
usual and typical internet response of trying to change the subject
by showing me a link to something I posted on Youtube. After I caught
him on that and verbally bashed him on catching him changing the
subject to avoid the fact his excuses weren't adding up? Guess what,
he blocked my email account. Imagine that. Typical internet bitch
move.
But really, seriously, why pay for a
membership that has media calls you can hear for free elsewhere, and
just to hear him and Michael Johnson have podcasts doing 'mailbag's'?
(Yawns) Yes, people actually do pay for this 'exclusive content'
(rolls eyes) and think this is a great thing. I guess what they say
about fools and their money is indeed true.
So there you go, Why there's a beef
with Scherer, and where he and Johnson at Pwinsider, Wrestlinginc,
Torch and Meltzer are the first to whine and bitch when nobody gives
them credit for stories they do, when I've sent all these people
stuff, they never give me any credit. Every time I've asked them to
explain this logic of crying and bitching when others don't give you
credit but you won't give me credit, I get no answer, from any of
them. Interesting mentality this is, eh? So fuck em., and In a way
I'm not glad Scherer fucked up on me like he did. With this blog, my
FB group of the same name and being an admin or editor for five other
FB wrestling groups I have my own platform to write things how I
want. And I don't have to 'try' and make a name for myself because in
many ways.. I already have. And I will continue to do with no need to
have people 'pay' for what I say, let em see it for free the way it's
meant to be :)
