BAUTISTA IN TALKS WITH WWE, AEW FOR RETURN TO THE RING
According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, former WWE star and popular actor Dave Bautista is talking to both WWE and AEW about a return to wrestling.
A few reliable sources confirmed to methe accuracy of the story. If they didn't I wouldn't have posted this.
PWS reported that Bautista and WWE are talking about a return at this year's WrestleMania but according to their sources, he is "50-50" about a comeback there based on how the negotiations are going. AEW has also shown interest in bringing in Bautista, and he is listening to what they have to say.
The 50-year-old left the company in 2014 to pursue acting, landing notable roles in Spectre, the Guardians of The Galaxy movies and the Blade Runner sequel. He was last seen on WWE TV during the SmackDown 1000 show last October teasing a match with Triple H, something that has been rumored for several years.
His last in-ring action was when he teamed with HHH and Randy Orton against The Shield at Payback in 2014.
MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING TV SERIES MOVING DAY, TIMESLOT
Major League Wrestling issued a press release this afternoon announcing that starting this week their weekly series MLW: FUSION will be moving to Saturday evenings on the BeIN Sports Network at 9 PM. The series had previously been airing Fridays at 8 PM. With the change, the Spanish language edition of the series will now air Monday evenings on beIN SPORTS en Espanol.
We are told part of the reason for the move is so that MLW can incorporate more live specials and intend to run more on Saturday evenings going forward. The special from Philadelphia earlier this month being the top rated program on BeIN Sports that day only helped to faciliate the move.
The official press release reads:

Chris Jericho Talks Vince McMahon's Reaction When Using WWE's Banned Terms
Recently on Talk Is Jericho, AEW's Chris Jericho welcomed WWE Hall Of Famer 'Diamond' Dallas Page to the show. During their conversation, Jericho talked about banned words in WWE.
As Jericho welcomed Page to the podcast, the former IWGP Intercontinental Champion mistakenly called Page's fitness program, DDPY simply 'yoga'. When 'DDP' corrected Jericho, 'The Ayatollah Of Rock 'N' Rollah' joked that Page sounded like WWE Chairman Vince McMahonwith his prohibited words list.
First off, Jericho noted that a championship title should never be referred to as a 'belt'.
"'Hey Vince, I don't know if I should lose the belt.' [Imitating McMahon] 'The what?' 'Sorry, the title.'" Jericho explained, "you couldn't say 'belt' because a belt is what you use to hold up your pants."
In addition to establishing championship cummerbunds, McMahon has declared that fans are to called the 'WWE Universe' and definitely not 'marks'.
"You couldn't say 'fans' because it's the 'WWE Universe'," Jericho recalled. "And never say 'marks' because [imitating McMahon] 'they're not marks - they're our fans!'
Finally, Jericho shared that McMahon disliked the term 'job' and preferred saying 'favor'.
"And the other one is the 'job'," Jericho professed. "[Imitating McMahon] 'Uh uh. We do favors, not jobs.' The Vince verbiage!"

Picture of 'Huge' Turnout At WWE House Show In DeKalb Illinois
WWE recently went to DeKalb Illinois and THIS... Was the best they could do, LMAO!
FORMER WWF & ECW STAR SALVATORE BELLOMO PASSES AWAY
Salvatore Bellomo, who had a long international career, but might be best remembered in his undercard role for WWF or his run as an early era babyface for ECW, passed away late last night following a long battle with cancer. Bellomo was 67 years old at the time of his passing.
Although billed from Sicily, Italy, Bellomo was actually born in Belgium, where he broke into the business working carnival events, trained by a wrestler identified as Nino. In that era, there would be attractions where a promoter would challenge someone to beat their champion wrestler. The idea would be to get fans to put up money for the chance and then have the wrestler beat them. To get over the idea that the wrestler was on the “ropes” and was an easy target, in order to entice potential challengers to part with their money, there would be a ringer in the crowd to challenge and have what amounted to a worked fight to get over the idea the wrestler was getting tired. Bellomo would often play that role, of the “challenger” coming out of the crowd who “almost” beat the champion, setting the stage for the next mark to be fleeced.
Bellomo worked the carnival circuit as the fair traveled across Europe through Germany, Austria, France, England and other countries before making his way to the United States in the 1970s. Although best remembered in an enhancement role in the WWF in the 1980s, Bellomo worked in a number of different territories before that, including Los Angeles as Tino Bellomo and a nice run in Canada. He also worked for a bit for EMLL in Mexico and in Japan for IWE
Sal Bellomo debuted for the WWF in 1982. It was Peter Maivia, who Bellomo has always identified as his hero and mentor, who was Bellomo’s connection to get into the WWF, suggesting Bellomo sending the promotion photos of himself as they were on the lookout for a new Italian star after Bruno Sammartino. Bellomo was brought in as the babyface “Italian,” but ended up being cast in the role of undercard hero, beating lower card villains and occasionally getting a win over mid-card talents, but was most likely going to be putting over heels who were getting larger pushes. His highest profile appearances included wrestling Bob Backlund in the Philadelphia Spectrum and being a guest on one of the early editions of Piper’s Pit, where Piper mocked him by asking Bellomo why he was even there, since Piper hadn’t ordered a pizza.
Bellomo returned to Europe, where he wrestled for years to come for Otto Wanz’s Catch Wrestling Association. The biggest promotion in Europe, CWA would operate out of Austria but tour different companies, often running the same building nightly for long stretches of time. Wrestlers loved it because they would have regular work without the daily grind of having to travel hours to shows every night. The promotion would run long tournaments, such as the Catch Cup, building to a big final event. During that period, Bellomo worked with a number of European stars of that era, including Dave Taylor, Tony St. Clair, Steve Wright, Rambo, Dave Finley and even names touring Europe such as Owen Hart, Rip Rogers and Derrick Dukes.
While it appeared to the average viewer that Bellomo quietly had disappeared from the business after his WWF run in the 1980s, he was living in Pennsylvania. When he learned of a local promotion running in Philadelphia, ECW, he contacted Tod Gordon to ask about coming in. Gordon, a lifelong wrestling fan, was aware of who Bellomo was and thought having someone local with some name recognition to fans could only help his fledgling independent promotion. Imagine Gordon’s surprise when the Bellomo who arrived wasn’t the clean-cut babyface Bellomo of WWF fame but a longer haired, bearded Wildman who looked more like Pampiro Firpo than Bob Backlund!
Bellomo became a regular for Eastern Championship Wrestling and put over Jimmy Snuka in a tournament final with Snuka becoming the first-ever ECW Champion. Bellomo had won a Battle Royal earlier in the show to set up the match. He lost a Loser Leaves Town match to Tony Stetson to set up a return to the CWA in Europe, before returning. Bellomo would work for ECW off and on through 1996, initially as a heel but eventually turning babyface after a promo where he proclaimed that he wanted to be a hero to the kids watching.
While ECW later became known for bloody violence, Bellomo was a loveable fixture on the undercard, feuding with The Rockin’ Rebel. The storyline was that Rebel had injured him, leading to ECW asking fans to send letters of support to Bellomo. When he returned, Bellomo began tossing stuffed animals out to the crowd, with the idea that kids had sent them to him while he was in the hospital to feel better.
Bellomo would appear on ECW TV regularly when it aired on Sportschannel Philadelphia, even teaming with The Sandman to compete in a tournament to crown the ECW Tag Team titles, eventually losing in the finals to Eddie Gilbert and The Dark Patriot. He feuded with Sir Richard Michaels, leading to a strap match at Ultra Clash ’93. Rebel, who had been suspended in storyline for his attack on Bellomo (imagine how this reads now given the level of atrocities later commited in ECW!) returned to attack Bellomo after, continuing their feud.
When Paul Heyman took over as ECW booker, the storylines changes as he focused more on younger, new talents. Bellomo remained but was used more in a veteran support role where he would work undercards, putting over heels Heyman was pushing. Bellomo lost to Mr. Hughes at the groundbreaking “Night the Line Was Crossed” event in February 1995. This was truly the show that put ECW on the map and set it on its course to become something special. Bellomo would not receive another sustained push but would pop up from time to time working undercard bouts before finishing up in 1996, where he beat JT Smith in his final match in Plymouth Meeting, PA.
After ECW, Bellomo continued to wrestle locally in Pennsylvania, including regular appearances for WXW out of Allentown, run by Afa the Wild Samoan. Bellomo would work against and team with younger talents, even getting a WXW Tag Team title run with The Mad Russian. He would also work for Tommy Dee in New York City as well:
Bellomo moved back to Europe in the early 2000s, where he opened a wrestling school in Belgium that at one point, had over 50 students at the same time. He worked for a number of promotions across Europe, appearing mostly in Belgium and The Netherlands. He wrestled as late as last year and was a veteran fixture for professional wrestling in those countries.
Nick Aldis To Face...... At Crockett Cup
The NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship will be on the line at April's Crockett Cup event.
An angle at tonight's Ring of Honor television tapings in Lakeland, Florida set up Nick Aldis defending his NWA title against Marty Scurll at the Crockett Cup. Given their friendship and history together, Aldis wanted Scurll to be his partner in the tag team tournament. Scurll instead challenged Aldis to the title match. Aldis accepted the challenge.
The Crockett Cup is taking place at Cabarrus Arena in Concord, North Carolina on Saturday, April 27. The NWA is partnering with ROH for the tournament, and it's also been announced that New Japan Pro Wrestling and CMLL are sending teams to take part in it.
Crimson & Jax Dane and Villain Enterprises (PCO & Brody King) are the first two teams to be confirmed for the Crockett Cup. Ian Riccaboni, Jim Cornette, and Joe Galli will be the commentary team, and The Rock 'n' Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson), The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton, Dennis Condrey, Stan Lane & Cornette), Nikita Koloff, and Magnum TA will be making appearances in Concord.

KM Of Impact Wrestling Gets Checked On Twitter, Then Blocks (Showing He's A Hypocrite)
"Big Bad" KM who works for Impact Wrestling Thought he was all that and then some when he poked fun at a fan who 'blocked' him on Twitter.
BUT... What happens when two people call him out on being, as they put it, a "Twitter Tough Guy"? WWWEELL, ol big bad keyboard warrior himself KM, did THE VERY SAME THING he slammed someone else for. He slammed someone for blocking him but after HE gets called out, he makes a weak ass comeback, and THEN.. BLOCKS THEM! Which shows what a fucking jackass KM is. Doing the very same thing he slammed someone else for when they did it to him. Yes, hypocrisy and irony are in plain view here. Here's the proof.
If you're going to insult someone for blocking you, how is it you can justify yourself when you go and do the very same thing you slammed others for when they did it to you? It just makes you look like a bigger moron. If you're going to make fun of someone for blocking you, then don't act like a bitch and block someone else after they put your weak ass in check on that subject. Because you just made yourself look like a complete idiot for doing the very same thing you piked fun at someone else over.
I guess, when KM got his ass handed to him by two others, he had no real defense other than shoot a weak ass come back and then hide behind a block himself. So in the end KM made himself look like a bigger idiot for doing the very same thing. What a dumb ass.

David McLane On If There Will Be Any Crossover With WOW And Former GLOW Stars
After an 18 year absence, Women of Wrestling (WOW) finally came back to television courtesy of AXS TV. WOW debuted on AXS last month to mark the promotion's first appearance on network television since 2001.
The mastermind behind all of this is WOW founder David McLane. Many issues led to WOW being taken off TV back then and being dormant for over a decade, but McLane vows to not let those same mistakes happen as he explained on Women's Wrestling Weekly.
"For one thing, it will still be around," McLane said of what will be different this time. "Those other renditions - I had business partners that never had the same vision that I did and subsequently they didn't last very long. Especially the second one, it was a rendition right out of GLOW, so it was like taking GLOW. When I left GLOW, as Little Egypt will tell you, 28 out of 32 women left with me."
After WOW was taken off TV in 2001, McLane had several attempts to relaunch the show over the next decade. They never amounted to anything until WOW original shows made their return to a Las Vegas ABC affiliate in 2011.
"So that said, that was just an under-financed and unorganized scramble to just go out on the road and see what we can do," stated McLane. "This is the ultimate dream, this is the ultimate vision that I've had for 30 some years. This is the presentation of women's wrestling that I will be most proud of because this combines everything that was great about GLOW with the athleticism and the presentation of the athletes that I've always dreamed women's wrestling would become.
In addition to founding WOW, McLane also founded Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling aka GLOW which, in a way, was WOW's predecessor as a women's wrestling promotion. GLOW relied more on the "entertainment" part of sports entertainment and often featured many comedic skits and storylines.
WOW treats itself as a legitimate promotion, and because of that, McLane doesn't foresee much crossover between WOW and the former stars of GLOW.
"We had many of the WOW wrestlers at one of the live events in Los Angeles and paid homage to them [GLOW wrestlers]," said McLane. "And we even had Jacqueline Stallion at the live events and she will be on the TV taping, thanking her for supporting women's wrestling for so long.
"But in terms of in the ring, no. The athletic ability of the wrestlers today is so superior to anything that was even five years ago, more or less 20 or 30 years ago. WOW is the ultimate competition in women's wrestling and when you see each of the competitors you'll know why. This isn't a comedy event, this is real women's wrestling."
ALL ELITE WRESTLING PRESS RELEASE ON AAA RELATIONSHIP, DOUBLE OR NOTHING
All Elite Wrestling issued the following:
All ELITE WRESTLING ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH RENOWNED MEXICAN WRESTLING PROMOTION “LUCHA LIBRE AAA”
— Fans Can Look Forward to Cross-Promotions and Iconic Match-ups –
LAS VEGAS (Feb. 8, 2019) – All Elite Wrestling continued to shift and reinvent the wrestling landscape with last night’s DOUBLE OR NOTHING ticket on-sale announcement party, which was jam-packed with new signing announcements and debuts, special appearances, and intense showdowns. A highlight among highlights was Cody’s announcement that AEW is entering into a partnership with Lucha Libre AAA, one of Mexico’s most famed Wrestling Promotions. Known for its high-flying masked wrestlers, Lucha Libra AAA promotes numerous signature events and tournaments each year, most notably the summertime “Triplemania.”
In the coming year, fans can look forward to talent trading between All Elite Wrestling and Lucha Libre AAA featuring exciting match-ups with top talent from both Promotions.
“AAA’s mission of showcasing the best Lucha Libre with an emphasis on modern stars stands right up next to us in our efforts to provide the best sports-centric pro wrestling show,” said Cody, AEW Executive Vice President.
“The first thing is we want to congratulate Tony, Cody, Kenny and The Young Bucks for this great initiative and for this great company All Elite Wrestling,” said Dorian Roldan, General Manager of Lucha Libre AAA. “I know that you are going to change the world of wrestling. AAA has never been about what’s conventional or predictable, just like our fans who are always about wanting something above and beyond from their wrestling and taking their experiences to the limit. It would take a concept as bold as AEW to earn our attention and respect, and that’s what has happened. AEW is what fans want and wrestling needs. We’re in with AEW, and we’re going to shake things up with exchanges of talent and lots of surprises.”
Following the partnership announcement at the DOUBLE OR NOTHING party, AAA stars Pentagon and Fenix, The Lucha Brothers, appeared and attacked The Young Bucks, and Penta injured Matt Jackson with his dangerous Package Piledriver finishing move on the stage. In addition to the clash between these top tag teams, Kenny Omega debuted at the party as the newest member of the AEW roster and an Executive Vice President, only to be interrupted by a hostile Chris Jericho, leading to a wild pull-apart brawl. After the rivals were separated by security, the coaching staff and other wrestlers, Omega returned to conclude the party by wishing the fans his signature “goodbye and good night.”
AEW also announced that fans can register at AllEliteWrestling.com up until Sunday, Feb. 10 at 7pm PST to be eligible for a pre-sale opportunity for tickets to the DOUBLE OR NOTHING event, taking place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 25.

The Undertaker Charging Big Bucks For Non-WWE Appearances (Get A Load Of THIS Shit)
Only a fucking moron would pay that amount for ONE person, I don't give a fuck WHO, it is. If you're an indy promoter you can't just toss that kind of money around and 'hope' you get it back in some way with his appearance. Fucking ridiculous.
The Undertaker is pulling in big money for the non-WWE bookings he recently started taking.
The Dead Man is charging $25,000 per hour for appearances within the United States, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and one person who has attempted to book him. Taker won't be accepting regular bookings until the summer.
As noted, Taker removed WWE references from social media this week and replaced them with an e-mail link for business opportunities & bookings. His three-night UK tour with Inside The Ropes set for this spring has been sold out and he has a UK convention appearance scheduled for that same week.
Taker is still not scheduled to work a top match at WrestleMania 35, according to the Observer. It was also noted that as of this week, Taker is not planning on working the next Saudi Arabia WWE event, which is expected for May. The Observer noted that if Taker was going to wrestle, the Saudi show would be the most likely date for him because it's the biggest payday of the year. WrestleMania would be the next most likely date.
