WWE 'Live Streaming' An Old Show From 2017? That's Already ON Youtube? LMAO!

SSOOO again, WWE shows what morons they are with this, ahem.... "Live Streaming" of a Smackdown show from 2017 that, as you can see, one look on Youtube and it's already there! Three different links I came up with within 40 seconds. So WWHHYY even bother 'live streaming' a show that's a year old to your network when people can see it now on Youtube? If people at the WWE can't see how stupid they are with this constantly happening, and me easily pointing this out every time they fuck up like this, then yes, they are dumber than I or you ever thought. Someday people at WWE will actually smarten up and do some research before making themselves look like total dumb fucks doing this dumb shit over and over, and over again. So you can again thank me for being the one who points it out, because other wrestling writers won't have the balls to do it. They're too busy kissing the ass of McMahon and other promoters so that way they can have interviews on their podcasts and "VIP membership" sections of their web pages. I, don't need to do that so I have nothing to lose by exposing these little tidbits for you. :)

Press Release About Ring Warriors On WGN

Austin Aries Reportedly Suffering From Minor Concussion, News On His Status With Impact Wrestling

Former Impact World Champion Austin Aries lost to Johnny Impact at Bound For Glory two weeks ago, and proceeded to walk out of the arena after exchanging words with Executive Vice President of Impact Wrestling Don Callis. A lot has been speculated about Aries's walkout and his contractual status with Impact Wrestling, 

Several sources spoke about Aries suffering from a minor concussion, and that he was physically beaten down. It's also noted that there are more layers to the story and what went down at Bound For Glory, and revealed that Impact Wrestling did not confirm, or wasn't aware of the concussion.

Regarding Aries's contractual status, it's been revealed that Austin's contract with Impact Wrestling has indeed expired, and a new deal hasn't been signed yet. It's been  further noted that Aries was present in New York on 10/8 for the first day of TV tapings, but was sent home and the script had to be rewritten. Finally, It's also speculated that the entire story had a Pillman-esque vibe, which was evident during the build-up to the Bound For Glory match.

Thanks For Stating The Obvious- Hulk Hogan Admits To Holding Down Younger Talent During His Career

Hulk Hogan recently gave an interview to the Orlando Sentinel and Hogan was asked about the rumors of him holding down the younger talent when he was at the helm. The Hulkster said that the rumors were indeed true, and admitted that he stayed at the top for as long as he did because of those actions.
"Once I got in the spot, to keep the spot, that's where the politics came in", Hogan revealed. "Everybody goes, `Well, Hulk Hogan was a politician.' Well, thank God I was. That's why I made more money than anybody, that's why I kept the belt longer, that's why instead of a five or six or ten year run like The Rock or Stone Cold or different wrestlers, I had a 35 year run on top."

Shame Shame WWE, WWE Reportedly Tried To Keep Rey Mysterio Off Chris Jericho's Cruise,

WWE officials reportedly tried keeping Rey Mysterio from going on Chris Jericho's "Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager at Sea" cruise that sets sail this weekend, 

Mysterio informed WWE officials of the cruise booking as a pre-existing commitment when he signed his new contract to return to the main roster and told them he would not be wrestling, he would just be attending as a guest. WWE still tried to keep Mysterio from going.

Mysterio was not booked for any WWE live events this weekend but it will be interesting to see if he makes Tuesday's SmackDown tapings in Atlanta, the final show before Crown Jewel. WWE currently has Rey advertised for SmackDown but the cruise does not end until the next day. It's possible Rey leaves the cruise a day early when they make it to the Bahamas on Monday.

Jazz On Why She Doesn't "Give A Damn" About WWE's Evolution (LMAO!)

Jazz On Why She Doesn't "Give A Damn" About WWE's Evolution (LMAO!)

Jazz didn't have the lengthiest of runs in WWE, but she did manage to win the Women's Championship twice. Both times she took the title away from Trish Stratus who will be returning to the ring at WWE Evolution as she teams with Lita to take on Mickie James and Alexa Bliss.

Even though Stratus credits Jazz with helping her develop in the ring and called her "Hall of Fame level," Jazz won't be appearing at Evolution and hasn't stepped foot in a WWE ring in over 10 years.

Jazz talked about the first WWE all-women's pay-per-view when she appeared on the Duke Loves Rasslin' podcast.

"I never thought I'd ever see that but I'm glad they're finally opening their eyes and giving women a showcase for their abilities on such a platform," stated Jazz. "For so many years they just wanted T and A out there and now they're giving women an opportunity to wrestle."

Jazz has been wrestling on the indie circuit for the last few years and at 45 years old she's still going strong. She is the current NWA World Women's Champion, and while she's happy for the progress of women in wrestling, she could care less about WWE making history.

"I don't give a damn about their Evolution because as the NWA Women's Champion I'm creating my own Evolution. It's about me," exclaimed Jazz.

In the interview Jazz also talked about wanting more mixed tag matches alongside her husband, former WWE Superstar Rodney Mack. She even called out WWE's power couple, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.

"What I'm interested in is doing mixed tags. I'm really pulling for someone to book Rodney and myself as a tag team. You can say whatever you want but we really are the power couple when it comes to wrestling in this industry," said Jazz. "I'm talking about my husband Rodney Mack okay? We are pound-for-pound the baddest dogs around and we claim it! If Stephanie McMahon and Triple H want a match just let me know, do I sign a piece of paper or just show up with my gear? You think I would back down from that? Stephanie? Oh my God; PLEASE!"

Changes Behind The Scenes In MLW

Konnan has risen in power in Major League Wrestling and will be replacing Bruce Prichard as the company's senior Producer and top agent behind the scenes. 

Prichard, PWInsider.com has confirmed, will be leaving MLW in terms of working behind the scenes in what has been said to be an amicable departure.    We are told the doors are open for Prichard to return in another role down the line should something come up and that Prichard and Conrad Thompson's uber-popular Something To Wrestle With podcast will continue on MLW's podcast network.  That podcast has morphed into a WWE Network series, which is potentially being brought back for a second season.

Konnan started behind the scenes for MLW last month in Fort Lauderdale and almost immediately grew into a larger role, running the locker room at the MLW Fury Road event in NYC.  He will be taking over all of Prichard's former responsibilities, which also included gorilla position.  The wrestling side of MLW now has Court Bauer, Konnan and Mister Saint Laurent, who all started the first MLW podcast together years ago, as the trio heading up the wrestling side.   We are told this will have no bearing on Konnan's work with AAA or Impact Wrestling.

Former WWE Creative team member Alex Greenfield work as a producer here, with responsibilities including overseeing pre-taped material and has his hands in a lot of the production.

Tommy Dreamer, Low Ki and Sami Callihan also work behind the scenes as agents for MLW.

Impact Wrestling's Current Booking Isn't Working And Here's Proof. (Viewers Drop, again)

The 10/18 edition of Impact, in its new 10 PM EST timeslot, dropped down to 98,000 viewers, the lowest audience number in the history of the series on Pop.  It was way down from last week's 189,000 overnight viewers.
Maybe it's time for Don Callis to actually 'get rid if the silliness' he swore he was gonna get rid of, for real now.  As I've said many times you can't get rid of the silliness if he's the one writing and booking it. If this doesn't give you a big enough hint that you and D'Amore's booking isn't working.. What brick thru a window do you need?

Why Doesn't This Surprise Me- Vince McMahon, WWE deflect Saudi Arabia questions during WWE Third Quarter Financial call

WWE announced Thursday morning that Crown Jewel will take place as scheduled in Saudi Arabia next week, despite the controversy surrounding the Saudi government’s involvement in the death of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Later Thursday morning, WWE held its quarterly financial call with investors, and WWE chairman Vince McMahon was asked directly about the Saudi Arabia situation, but he deflected in his answer.

“We’re not going to talk a lot about (Saudi Arabia),” McMahon said. “It’s a sensitive subject, and our statement said all we want to say about that subject today.”

Later in the call, WWE was again asked about Saudi Arabia, specifically the economic risks involved with doing business in the country. WWE was asked to “frame the risks” of Saudia Arabia that are outside of the company’s control, such as the risk of economic sanctions. WWE co-president George Barrios answered, “The complexity of the situation, as Vince said … All of our thoughts are encapsulated in our statement.”

WWE was then asked if there was an analogous situation they could compare it to, to which Barrios flatly answered, “no.”

Johnny Impact On Why He Has Heat With Triple H

Johnny Impact defeated Austin Aries two weeks ago to win the Impact World Championship at Bound For Glory, and while the match itself delivered, what happened afterwards had the wrestling world buzzing. Austin immediately got up after being pinned, yelled at Don Callis and walked to the back.

While people have since speculated about the nature of the finish, and regarding Austin's future with Impact Wrestling, the current Impact World Champion recently joined Anthony Carelli and Alicia Atout on Behind The Lights to talk about various topics, including his on-screen rivalry with Aries. Impact said that his beef with Aries was real, and that Austin crossed the line when he insulted his wife, Taya Valkyrie.

"The beef that him and I had was one hundred percent real", Impact revealed. "I guess if Austin's watching this, I apologize for using the word 'beef', because I know you don't like that kind of thing. But he in my opinion crossed the line. He legitimately pissed me off with the tweet that you mentioned specifically (calling his wife 'husky'), and I think it's because I tweeted a short joke at him. He hates short jokes, and I knew he hated short jokes, which is why I tweeted a thing like that at him.

"You're having a Twitter war. You're flinging poop back and forth, and I nailed him with a nice piece of poop, and he took the poop and threw it at Taya, and that pissed me off. I'm making light of it now because we're over it, it's past, it's done. But it did legitimately get me hot."

Johnny then dwelt on the topic of Austin's contract and Impact not renewing it, and gave his thoughts on if Aries had burned bridges with the company.

"Never say never in wrestling, and this whole situation is something that I've been thinking about, because I'm really proud of that match. He pushed me in a way in the ring that I haven't been pushed in a while, and it would be hard to have that much real emotion against someone that I really didn't want to strangle. But he didn't have to do what he did at the end of the match. And I feel like if he had just gone a step or two less far, him and I could've been cool, the office could've been cool with him, he could've worked out the contract thing, and he could've still been at Impact.

"And I'm not saying I'm sorry about how it worked out, because I'm not going to miss him, and I don't think many people in the Impact locker room are going to miss him either."

Impact also talked about his battle rap few years ago, where he mimicked Triple H and The Undertaker ahead of their WrestleMania match. Johnny revealed that he thought he and Triple H were cool, only to find out from The Miz that things weren't as amicable as he thought.

"I did that right when I left, and right when you leave WWE is when you usually get the biggest chip on your shoulder. It was kind of funny; I texted Hunter a couple of times and I told him I was going to do this battle rap video, and this was after I was completely gone, and he's like, 'What do you mean?' And I was like, 'I'm going to dress up like you and dress up like The Undertaker, and do battle raps back and forth and make fun of each other'. And he's like, 'I don't understand. But go ahead.'

"And now when I watch it back, I cringe a little bit, because I go, 'Oh, yikes!' I think I can do a better battle rap video now, and I actually feel bad about some of the stuff that I said. I was at Miz's New Year's party, and this was a year or two or three ago, and everyone asks about when you're returning to WWE. And I was like, 'Yeah, I think I have a good relationship with WWE. I'll probably go back'. Miz goes, 'Oh, you know what? Hunter keeps bringing up that battle rap video.' He goes like, 'Didn't Morrison do some battle rap video where he's burying me and 'Taker?' And until I heard that, I didn't think it was even a thing. I would've thought he would've been too busy to even realize that."

Update On WWE's Crown Jewel Event

As of this morning, tickets still have yet to go on sale for the 11/2 Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia. 

However, the first set of WWE staff members working the show are scheduled to travel there within the next day with the remaining heading over there following the next set of TV tapings.  The talk at this week's TV among staffers was about traveling to Saudi Arabia, so everyone is under the impression they are going as nothing else has been communicated to them by management. If WWE is going to change plans, they will have to do so very soon.

What Happens When A WWE Mark On FB Tried To Square Off With Me (He Got Checked, lol)

In one of the FB groups I post in this WWE 'Mark' as you can see by the shots here, tried to square off with me on a WWE subject. His name calling, attempted threats of banning off of FB (which failed, if he actually had the balls to really try it that is) and what not got him clearly creamed by me. When he clearly saw i was running rings around him he resorted to what just about every idiot I encounter does. Always replies the same way with the same answers. They always do this. Why is it these dumb fucks always reply the same way? It gets to be way to east to make idiots like Dukes here look like a dumb fuck. He did finally went and hid behind blocking me because he found out that in an armed battle of words, he was totally unarmed and unprepared to be put in check as swiftly as I put him there. But, this is the level of dumb shit I have deal with on FB, Twitter, etc. Assclowns who somehow are allowed internet access when in fact they shouldn't open their mouths to begin with.

It never gets old putting dumb fucks like this in their place, I just wish they'd be more of a challenge. So if you know this Robb Dukes, tell him about how he tried to 'put up his dukes' and lost big time to me, LMAO!

UUHH OOHH, WWE "Frantically" Looking For A New Crown Jewel Location?

WWE officials are reportedly scouting new locations for the Crown Jewel event, according to Robbie Fox of Barstool Sports.

Fox, who reported on Monday that the event was in jeopardy of happening and that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were not making the trip, reported today that WWE officials are "frantically scouting" new locations for the event. Fox noted that this is not definite confirmation that the event is being moved out of Saudi Arabia but the location and the date are in major jeopardy.

As noted earlier, multiple sources are reporting that Cena has informed WWE officials that he will not be making the trip, presumably due to the controversy surrounding the Kingdom and WWE's working relationship with them. We have no other update on Bryan not attending the show if it's held in Saudi Arabia but he was mentioned in Fox's original report. WWE writers were told on Monday to be looking for Cena's replacement in the World Cup. WWE is still advertising Cena for the World Cup but that could be because they hope he changes his mind, or because he would once again become involved in the event if it finds a new home outside of the Kingdom. Bryan is set to face WWE Champion AJ Styles at Crown Jewel.

The WWE Crown Jewel pay-per-view is currently scheduled for Friday, November 2 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the 25,000-seat King Saud University Stadium. We will keep you updated on if the date & location are changed.

WWE Marks Are Falling For This Roman Reigns "Excuse" When They Don't See The Obvious

The shot you see above? was posted as part of Meltzer's update, was posted as RAW was on the air. Now unfortunately the WWE marks are falling for Roman's Leukemia 'excuse' but don't see the most obvious pieces to this.
Roman, like others on the WWE roster don't want to so the Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia and really who can blame him? A journalist was killed and Saudi Arabia was responsible for it. Businesses left and right have been pulling out of business deals with Saudi Arabia over this but yet Vince McMahon, is bound and determined to keep the show going there, no matter what flack it may bring him and his company, or stockholders.
So Roman doesn't want to go and took a stand, you think he really could've went out there and said what he said without the WWE scripting that promo for him? Come on, they script every promo, right down to the last word. It's a nice attempt at covering the fact Roman doesn't want to go to Saudi Arabia, and since the new Universal Champion is now going to be crowned, where? OOHH yes, Saudi Arabia at Crown Jewel. You don't see the obvious that even a blind man can see?
Much like when Shawn Michaels didn't want to do a job so he dropped the title claiming he "lost his smile", here we have this. Roman didn't want to go to the show, and probably didn't want to do the job on that show, so let's come up with this so he doesn't have to and seems to have a safe yet 'very convenient' out, especially with the timing of all this. It all comes together nicely in a pretty package with a bow on top that any blind man can see.
How the WWE marks can't see what is so fucking obvious here, is beyond me. But. That's why alot of them are still marks and I, will always be alittle smarter than them. Again, the timing and how they pieced it together is wwaayy too convenient. Only an idiot can't see this and believe me, there's alot of WWE fans proving to be idiots tonight.

Note On Crown Jewel Ticket Sales For Anyone Who Gives A Fuck

And then there's this for the three people who may give a shit.

tickets for Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia were to go on sale Friday. They did not. The website in Saudi Arabia handling the tickets told people who asked that WWE has not confirmed to them that the show will go on.

Nice going WWE, Great way to treat them paying fans that you want, to come to your house shows.

Reigns missed the entire weekend. Bliss and Mysterio were on the weekend tour and worked the night before in Hartford, and there was significant interest and disappointment in Boston about Mysterio not being there. No announcement was made at the show and fans didn't realize he wouldn't be there until they announced the AJ Styles vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Shinsuke Nakamura WWE title match as the main event.

At this point WWE hasn't said anything about any of the nonappearances. There was talk on Saturday night that Bliss, coming off an injury in her first weekend back, was hurt again, but that wasn't confirmed, past the point she was then off yesterday's show.

NWA PRESIDENT BILLY CORGAN REFLECTS ON LAST NIGHT'S NWA 70 EVENT, SAYS THEY HAVE 'MUCH WORK TO DO' BEFORE NEXT LIVE EVENT

NWA PRESIDENT BILLY CORGAN REFLECTS ON LAST NIGHT'S NWA 70 EVENT, SAYS THEY HAVE 'MUCH WORK TO DO' BEFORE NEXT LIVE EVENT

National Wrestling Alliance President Billy Corgan took to Instagram with thoughts on last night's NWA 70 event, which aired live on Fite.tv:

#NWA70 thoughts in no particular order:

Magnum TA @magnum_ta was an absolute joy to engage with, and showed when speaking live of the NWA's future why he is so highly regarded with fans and people in the business.

Jim Cornette, on commentary, reminded why there is no one better with a microphone, and I appreciate him lending his gravitas to the event. His partner, Joe Galli, has such a bright future, and I hope he will remain as our leading voice for decades. As

well, I was thrilled to have Tony Schiavone (@tonyschiavone24) call the main event.

As this highlights one of the great pleasures of owning the NWA, which is seeing these legends do what they do best.

On the production side, we fell short on providing a televised event up to the standard that I would consider acceptable. Which reminded me greatly as to why people questioned my pursuit of TNA (in terms of wanting to buy the company, and filed a

potential lawsuit to do so). Put simply, building up a culture like Smashing Pumpkins or the NWA, takes time, trial and error, and great risk. And throwing $$$ at the problems doesn't necessarily correct the issues, and in some cases makes it worse.

So last night I was painfully reminded of how hard this journey is, and knew by the time the last bell rung we have much work to do before we'd run another such live event. Which in no way diminishes my appreciation for those who ordered or

attended the event. In fact, it increases it.

Sitting ringside for the main event, I had one recurring thought, which is there are only a few people on the planet (let's say the number is under 30) who could do what Nick and Cody did last night. Or, as I used to

tell my Mother, 'this is why they pay me the big bucks, Ma'. Skilled, talented people need the right stage and crowd to show their best, and last night was exactly that. The fans were FANTASTIC. Pushing Cody and Nick to a place I think that surprised

them. I remain hopeful for a third, definitive contest.

Lastly, the vibe backstage with talent was jubilant, and hopeful. From a living legend like Dory Funk, Jr, to the kid in the dark. And that speaks volumes.

Eric Bischoff On Why Roddy Piper Signed With WCW, Tension Between Piper And Hulk Hogan

The legendary Roddy Piper surprisingly made the jump from WWE to WCW in 1996. Former WCW president Eric Bischoff recently discussed what it was like to work with Piper on an episode of his 83 Weeks podcast.

Bischoff said he was amazed at how much Piper was interested knowing about the creative side before he would commit to signing with WCW. When the two of them met, Bischoff was impressed with how much Piper knew about what was going on in WCW and he revealed that Piper was a fan of their storylines involving the nWo. Piper's attitude was a stark contrast from other wrestlers who were more concerned about the financial gains they would make if they joined WCW.

"You know what... Roddy Piper wasn't all about the money. Roddy was way more interested in the creative. When I say that I say it in a general sense, like a macro sense," Bischoff said. "I think what Roddy was really interested in from what I remember at that meeting because I do remember that meeting quite well, Roddy got so animated when we started talking about pro wrestling. His passion for it became really evident.

"In the first part of the meeting it was a regular greeting, but once we started talking about what was different about WCW Nitro and why it was working. There were several things that he loved. He loved the nWo," Bischoff continued. "He loved the fact that we were breaking the mold and disrupting the formula because that was how Roddy Piper was. In many ways he was a traditionalist in pro wrestling. He was a 'throwback' as far as someone who believed in the product and gave a lot to it, but he was also a progressive-thinking guy, which I believe he was because of his experience in television and in movies and his interest in it, and with discussions that he had with people outside of pro wrestling that all content had to evolve. Pro wrestling was no different, and Roddy Piper saw what a lot of others saw, which was, holy s**t, this is hot. What are you guys thinking? What was the psychology behind this? Where was the nWo going? We did discuss those things with the kind of big ideas were between WCW and the nWo and where it was headed, which were things that he did like."

After his famed rivalry with Hulk Hogan in WWE, it was expected that Piper would feud with "Hollywood" Hogan in WCW. Bischoff said there was backstage tension between the two, but Piper was still excited to reignite the rivalry.

"Of course we also talked about the possibilities of matches against Hulk Hogan, because Piper hadn't talked to Hulk at that point because, yes, there may have been some professional tension between them as who the top guys were, and who didn't want to do a job to the other, which is really childish, but when you think about how much money was involved it really wasn't that childish, but they had both more or less gotten all over that," Bischoff said. "There was still a little residual of comments that were made towards one another, including me, but Roddy was really looking forward for the opportunity to work with Hulk, with Randy [Savage] and certainly with Ric Flair. I mean, Roddy loved Ric Flair. Ric and Roddy were tighter than that."

When Piper agreed to join WCW, most of the superstars were excited to have him on the roster. Bischoff said the only wrestlers who were concerned were mid-carders who were afraid they would get pushed further down the card. As far as the top superstars, they welcomed Piper with open arms.

"There may have been people who felt--like, some of the mid-card guys who maybe thought they were on the verge of breaking into the top-tier with the semi-main event status of storylines, which is a better way of saying it may have thought that here is one more guy who has now become one more rung to the ladder I have to climb now," Bischoff said. "You can't deny that, but nobody really expressed it to me. Of the people that I dealt with more regularly at the time, more creatively like Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, who didn't have a problem with it, as long as they got their checks on time. Hulk Hogan was actually excited about it. Randy Savage was supportive of it and Ric Flair couldn't wait so unless somebody had feelings that weren't articulated to me, it pretty much was everybody was pretty supportive of it."

Piper ended up making his debut at Halloween Havoc and immediately entered into a feud with Hogan and nWo. Bischoff said it was perfect timing for him to make his debut when Hogan was already at the top of the card, especially since fans knew about the real-life tension between the two of them. Bischoff wanted his storylines to be based of real life as much as possible, so it was a great way to get Piper started in WCW.

"Probably more than anything it was a coincidence. It would be easy for me to make it sound like it was a master plan. Oftentimes it was just coincidence of good timing. Roddy was available and we had worked on his deal. We were obviously excited to have Roddy Piper on the roster because it opened up a lot of creative opportunities with Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan because of their history and the legacy they had previously. Everyone was aware of the heat between Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart. We had heard about it a million times, and Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper had their share of tension that the core, the hardcore, not the passive audience or the mainstream audience was aware of, but your hardcore audience, who knew the ins and outs and followed it closely with the dirt sheets where they were well aware of that," Bischoff said. "To me, it was like okay, now we have something to work with. In this period of time from 1996, 1997 & 1998 I tried to capture real relationship, real life heat, whatever was real to some degree that the audience knew about I tried to capture those moments or relationships and turn the volume up on them, and Roddy brought that up to the table, so there really wasn't a master plan other than the fact that Roddy was excited. He was probably excited because we had a lot of momentum. It was a two way street--we were excited about him but he was also excited to be there. He saw all of those same opportunities that we did. WCW Nitro was on a roll and it was the talk of the town where we were outperforming everybody and Roddy wanted to be a part of it as much as we wanted him to be part of us."
