When The Guy On Twitter I "Outted" For Snitching Admits He Snitched (Fucking Dumb Ass)
YES, "TJB" aka @ItsMe_TJB on Twitter who I outed in a story posted here yesterday ( https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2019/02/when-i-put-mark-in-check-on-twitter.html ) for snitching on me and getting me again in Twitter jail, has come clean, ON TWITTER NO LESS, and admitted he snitched!! I know he snitched on me and two others and guess what, I have proof he did INDEED snitch, proving i was right when i correctly accused him of being a bitch who couldn't handle being put in check by me, and acouple others.
Here's the proof. HIS OWN ADMISSION that he's a snitch.
Moron dumb asses like this need to go to snitching school because one of the first lessons if you want to be a snitch is, you don't brag about publicly. Bragging that you're now going to be known as a snitch isn't, something that's to be proud of. But... This is the mentality of the current day wrestling mark I guess. Thinking it's a 'cool hip thing' to be known as a snitch.
When did it suddenly become 'cool' to want to be known as a snitch? I must've missed that movement. Where i come from your ass gets beat or worse for snitching. But I guess when you can hide behind a keyboard and a monitor and be a Twitter tough guy, and not have to face anyone because you lack the balls to do that, this is the only way they can feel like they're bad asses. In reality it just re-enforces the fact, they're little bitches with no real balls who have to snitch so that way they can feel better about themselves after they get chumped in public (and fail to remember that they asked for that to happen in the first place with their own actions, another thing they're quick to side step).
So by all means go on Twitter and let "YJB" know about this story, what's he gonna do? Cry some more on Twitter? LOL!

THE UNDERTAKER TO APPEAR AT STARRCAST (Someone Coughed Up Twenty Five Grand, lol)
Based on the story I (and others later on caught up to me on) right here https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-undertaker-charging-big-bucks-for.html About Undertaker charging $25,000 per non-WWE Appearance, There's This.
The Undertaker will make his first-ever high profile non-WWE appearance in The United States at the second Starrcast event promoted by Conrad Thompson the weekend of AEW's Double or Nothing.
“I know people might assume this is an AEW event, but that is not true,” Thompson told Sports Illustrated. “We have wrestlers appearing from every promotion from all over the world, and Starrcast isn’t just for All Elite Wrestling fans, it’s for all wrestling fans. The Undertaker is synonymous with wrestling and generations of wrestling fans have grown up with The Undertaker. We wanted to bring something unique to Las Vegas, and there isn’t anyone more special in this business than The Undertaker.”
Wonder where Conrad scraped up $25,000 from? LOL.

FORMER WWE AND IMPACT STAR SUING LANDLORD OVER WRONGFUL EVICTION
The Houston Chronicle is reporting that a civil trial is currently underway as former WWE star and Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Brooke Adams and her fiancee Weston Wayne Piper are suing their former landlord, Fan Chen for wrongful eviction after they received several eviction notices over the emotional support dog they had brought into their home.
Adams testified that she brought the dog into their home to help her fight depression. The couple had already paid a pet deposit for one pet dog, Noodles, but when Chen discovered an Instagram post from Adams holding the emotional support dog, Waffles, and realized it was not the first pet, issued the eviction notice. Adams and Piper offered to pay an additional pet deposit fee but were rebuffed and after a second eviction notice, moved out during the New Year's holiday.
After they moved out, Adams and Piper received an invoice for $14,000 in lost rent, damages and attorney's fees, leading to them filing a lawsuit in State Court. It was later bumped up to federal Court.
Adams testified in court yesterday that having the emotional support dog was her right and she was not aware she needed to inform Chen.
JIMMY USO ARRESTED (Updated With WWE Statement)
TMZ.com is reporting that Smackdown star Jimmy Uso (Jonathan Solofa Fatu) was arrested in Detroit, Michigan after authorities pulled over the car his wife Naomi was driving as she was driving the wrong way on a one way street. TMZ's report did not list the date of the arrest.
TMZ reports that, according to their sources, the 2018 Dodge Journey Naomi was driving "reeked of booze", so she was ordered out of the car. As she spoke to authorities, Uso got out of the car, despite being told not to do so and took off his jacket and acted as if he wanted to fight. He eventually calmed down and listened to the police officers who stopped the car.
Uso was still arrested for disorderly conduct and obstruction of justice. He has already bonded out, according to TMZ.
The Usos are slated to face Shane McMahon and The Miz for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship this Sunday at the Elimination Chamber PPV in Houston, Texas.
WWE issued the following statement to PWInsider.com And other sources.
“Jonathan Fatu is responsible for his own personal actions.”

Gems” being added to their network are so 'hidden' that they've
been already available on YouTube. Since proof IS, a mother fucker
and I'm a mother fucker who always has proof? Here we go.

When I Put A Mark In Check On Twitter? They Cry And Snitch, LOL!
Yep, I'm back in Twitter jail again. LOL. It always happens when some mark tries his luck against me, gets checked all over the place on Twitter and then has to be a little snitchy bitch because he couldn't handle getting punked in public.
@ItsMe_TJB is the snitcher.
I got dragged into a discussion on Impact and after providing valid points on how Pursuit Channel doesn't have the viewers POP TV had, "TJB' tried saying my blog had no viewers (typical yet usual tactic of changing the subject when they no longer have any arguing power thanks to me taking it away from them), And after showing a pic of how many viewers this blog does get.. He reduced himself to trying to insult me, got his ass whacked for it and this is the result of me putting his dumb ass in check.
This is why I hate dealing with most marks, they always react and do the same kind of weal ass shit, and then snitch when they can't handle the fact they got their ass handed to them with ease by me.

WrestlingInc Shows What Hypocrites They Are When It Comes To Stories They're Afraid Of.
The
people over at WrestlingInc crack me up. They're the first ones to
post a story about how this wrestler or that wrestler calls someone
out (or ridicules a fan) on Twitter. Hence this example right here.
https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2019/02/seth-rollins-calls-out-becky-lynch-for-adult-language-on-650876/ Where they boast on Seth Rollins calling out Becky Lynch on Twitter.
BUT...
When a story like THIS,
https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2019/02/km-of-impact-wrestling-gets-checked-on.html Which is a story I did on how KM over at Impact Wrestling got checked
by acouple fans on Twitter, WrestlingInc... After being shown this
story, puts on the chicken suit and runs scared away from it. They,
like the other major newes sites like Torch, PWInsider and the 20
something news sites on Twitter all get scared when I have a story of
a wrestler getting put in his place by fans.
The evidence is there, the proof is right before their very eyes, BUT.. Show them a story like that and the sounds of chickens come from their side of the street, imagine that.
The evidence is there, the proof is right before their very eyes, BUT.. Show them a story like that and the sounds of chickens come from their side of the street, imagine that.
I
guess it comes down to who has the guts to tell it like it, and they,
unlike me, don't have them kind of balls. It's too bad nobody asks
places like WrestlingInc why that is? I'd love to see how they'd try
and dance around the issue. :)
Pedro Morales Passes Away
Former WWWF Champion Pedro Morales, the first man to accomplish the WWF Championship Triple Crown and hold the WWWF title, the WWF Intercontinental and the WWF Tag Team Championship, has passed away at the age of 76.
Morales passing was first announced by former WWF announcer Hugo Savinovich.
Morales had been battling Parkinson's disease in recent years.
Morales, an extremely popular competitor, was such a beloved babyface that there was a legitimate sense of fear the audience would riot when he lost the WWWF title to Stan Stasiak in Philadelphia, the ring announcer simply said, "Let's hear it for Pedro Morales" and then the next day, the title change was reporting in newspapers. On another occasion, a fan stabbed Blackjack Mulligan in the back with a butcher knife as he was on his way to the ring to challenge Morales for the title in Boston. His bond with the audience, especially Latin fans, was massive.
Morales was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1995.
Getting quite a dew 'likes' for this site lately. :)
The Google+ notifications will be removed by Google in acouple weeks so I'm going to appreciate these 'likes' while I can. :)

Mat Memory- 28-Fall Texas Death Match! Jerry Lawler, Dutch Mantell vs Bill Dundee, Buddy Landel (3-24-86)
A quick studio promo followed by recap footage of the resulting Texas Death Match which took place in Memphis at the Mid-South Coliseum featuring Jerry Lawler and Dutch Mantel versus Bill Dundee and Buddy Landel.
The angle begins as Buddy Landel and Bill Dundee enter the studio and chase Lance Russell away. Now controlling the mic , Bill and Buddy draw heat until Jerry Lawler and Dutch Mantel show up to run them out of the studio. Lawler then cuts a promo for Monday night and we segue to highlight footage of their classic Texas Death Match that goes an astounding 28 falls!
Pay attention--during the match, some really good work occurs. Particularly when Lawler wails on Buddy Landel's head until he gases himself, then steps back and tees off on Landel who goes airborne. Lance will rightly describe this as "a beauuuuuuuutiful shot." :)
Note: In a Texas Death Match, there are no disqualifications and pin falls count anywhere. After a pin fall, the wrestler pinned has a ten count to get up or get back in the ring. If he fails to do so, he loses the match.

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!"

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.
