Jim Ross On The Main Reason Why He's Leaving WWE
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross appeared on ESPN's Outside The Lines program and confirmed that he has been in talks with All Elite Wrestling. JR's current WWE contract does not expire until March 29. You can see full video from the OTL appearance above.
Regarding his WWE departure, Ross said he only had two bookings in 2018 and that was it. "I had two bookings in 2018, so I kind of felt the writing was on the wall," he said.
Ross technically had three dates in 2018 - the RAW 25th Anniversary show, the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the WrestleMania 34 Kickoff pre-show, and the Greatest Royal RumbleKickoff pre-show panel. Ross said on his podcast that he recently spoke with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and the two mutually agreed that it was time to move on.
JR told OTL host Ryan Smith that it came down to a matter of wanting to remain active and stay working. He said it was simply time to move on from WWE with the hope of finding a more creatively fulfilling role with another promotion.
"I miss being around people," JR said. "The main reason I'm leaving WWE is because they weren't using me very much, and I feel like I've got some great years left. I needed to get out of the house, and I need to be involved. I need to be on the road, and I need to be around people."
Ross noted that he did not want to sit at home stagnant and dwelling on the past. He had to deal with the sudden loss of his wife Jan back in 2017 as he was returning to WWE under the two-year contract.
"Two years ago this month I lost my wife in a car accident, about 30 seconds from our garage in Norman ... there's no grieving manual that I've ever read, or been recommended to, that tells you how to get through this stuff," he said. "All I know is you've gotta keep getting up, and you've gotta keep taking steps forward."
Ross still has nothing but praise for WWE and the McMahon Family.
"I had no issues, I wasn't mad at anybody -- there's no major controversy here," Ross said. "I believe WWE in general, as most television producers do, want to get younger. I've been around since the mid-70s doing this job that I truly love doing. When I was unable to get booked, to be utilized, I had to look for Plan B, and Plan B was, 'let's step away gracefully.' Vince McMahon and his family have been amazing to my family."
For those who missed our previous report, Ross confirmed that he's been in talks with AEW, but nothing has been signed. He said, "I don't know, we're talking. I just haven't signed anything yet. My people and their people are doing their thing. The only agent I grew up knowing was a State Farm agent in Oklahoma, I got a real agent now, man. So, they're working on it. I'd like to get into some voice-over work, I'd like to do some... I wouldn't mind having a radio gig doing college football."
Alberto El Patron Admits He Made A Mistake By Disrespecting Triple H, Talks Possible WWE Return
Former WWE Champion Alberto El Patron (Alberto Del Rio) recently spoke with Super Luchas and said he is now on good terms with WWE and specifically Triple H.
"There were many great moments in WWE, but the most special was to win the Royal Rumble of 40 wrestlers. I swore that they were going to do another Royal Rumble to take away that privilege from me, with 41 wrestler, but they have not," Alberto said in highlights sent to us. "Now everything is normal with them, I apologized and shook hands, even with Mr. Levesque [Triple H], with whom I do not agree on many things, especially how things ended and how they were done [when he was fired in 2014], but I should never have crossed the line and disrespect him. A man can only be called a man by admitting his mistakes. I lived a very difficult stage in my life: 1 year and 2 months in which I had to win the most difficult battle of my life that was against myself."
Alberto has spoken out about Triple H a few times over the years, most notably during a drunk rant on Periscope in April 2017. This was while he was dating Paige. During the rant, Alberto talked about "keyboard warriors" and made a reference to Triple H. He said, "You remind me of one of the bosses in WWE, with the big f--kin' nose, big f--kin' pussies."
During the same rant, Alberto continued ranting on Triple H. He said, "Ya know, I'm close to the next town. Stamford. I could pay a visit to somebody. Stamford is only forty-five minutes away. That's where all the pussies live, right? I could go there and just knock on someone's door, 'Hey, big nose with the small dick.'"
Alberto says now things are normal with his former employer.
Regarding a potential return to WWE, Alberto said the door is open for him to go back there before he retires from the ring.
"Returning to WWE before retiring is not a question of whether they want to or I want to return," Alberto said. "Neither I hope nor want to return nor do they expect me to return or want me to return. But the two of us have had approaches, especially to make the peace, which opens the door to the fact that before I hang up my boots I can have some last matches in WWE. I clarify it: neither they beg me, nor I beg them. It's just that the door is open for a future."
Patron made a surprise return to WWE at Hell In a Cell 2015, defeating John Cena to win the WWE United States Title, and he last appeared for the company on the August 16, 2016 SmackDown episode, losing to Cena. He debuted for Impact Wrestling in March 2017 and last appeared for them in March 2018. He has worked just a few indie events since then.

David Starr pulls promo critical of ROH and Sinclair ahead of match against Jay Lethal in Israel in April, ROH statement on who was responsible for getting it pulled
David Starr cut a promo that was heavily critical of Ring of Honor and Sinclair Broadcast Group, the parent company of ROH, ahead of his upcoming match against ROH World Champion Jay Lethal on April 21 in Netanya, Israel for Israeli Pro Wrestling Association. In the video, Starr was critical of ROH and called out Sinclair for being a right win propaganda machine.
I’ll tell you something else that’s a joke. It’s that Ring of Honor Wrestling used to represent pure, independent professional wrestling instead of representing a far-right wing extremist corporate propaganda machine, said Starr. Did you think it was kind of a cute publicity stunt? Let the little Jew boy get a flight to Israel to wrestle for your championship? Is that what you thought?
Starr ended up pulling the promo and issued a statement on his Twitter saying the “powers that be” asked him to remove the promo.
Starr did not mention who asked him to remove the promo, but has since released a shirt with his face on it that says censored over his mouth with Sinclair is Scared over it. Starr tweeted out information on how to buy the shirt with the caption “Sinclair is Scared.” You can see the shirt below in a tweet from Starr:
Pro Wrestling Sheet managed to save the promo from Starr. You can see his entire promo here. https://twitter.com/i/status/1108394083939082240
Starr is not under contract to Ring of Honor, but he has wrestled for the company several times in the past. He is currently one of the most notable free agents on the independent scene and has made a name for himself wrestling in the U.S. and internationally, especially in the WXW promotion based out of Germany and OTT recently.
Starr, who is Jewish, mentioned in the video that ROH would wake up to their worst nightmare if he won their championship. “You’ll have to wake up to the fact that your championship is now represented by a progressive Jew named David Starr,” said Starr.
Many News outlets reached out to Ring of Honor for a statement on the situation on whether or not they asked for Starr to pull the video. Ring of Honor responded by saying that this matter was handled by the promoter in Israel.
If Starr hadn’t pulled his promo and Lethal did get pulled from the show, I think ROH would have had a PR nightmare on their hands and would have had to back down. The way things have gone down, Starr having to pull the video has proven him right in terms of the content of his promo.
ROH Star Unhappy With Booking (Then Leave, Dumb Ass)
Pretty easy solution, especially now with so many other places to go. But hey, easy concepts like that seem to fly over people's heads for some reason.
Sting On The One Opponent Who Could Bring Him Out Of Retirement (The Answer Won't be Surprising)
It's the same he always gives (yawns).
WWE Hall of Famer Sting recently spoke with Wrestling Travel and revealed that he would come out of retirement for just one opponent - The Undertaker.
"I mean, everyone knows who it would be. Taker, he's the only guy I'd come out of retirement for now. No one else," Sting said. "We could just never get it together to make it happen. When I started talking to WWE he was booked with Brock and then I did the deal with Triple H and he had another feud going on at the time, so it was just one of those things we couldn't make happen.
"But I don't regret it not happening either, I mean I got to face Triple H at my first WrestleManiaand then wrestle Seth for the world title, so I didn't do too badly out of that deal. But yeah, now, the only person I'm getting back in the ring for is Taker."
The 60 year old Stinger also confirmed that there were no concrete plans for his WWE run before he suffered the injury in the 2015 Night of Champions match against Seth Rollins, which led to his retirement.
"There weren't really any set plans for me after the Seth match if I hadn't got injured," Sting confirmed. "The idea was just for me to have one off matches here and there, but I didn't have any planned opponents or anything like that, we were just going to see what was best for business at the time."
JARRETT VS. IMPACT LAWSUIT UPDATE (Yes, This Bullshit Is STILL Going On)
Jeff Jarrett’s attorneys filed a motion asking for an extension in filing an extension allowing them until 4/12 to submit an update on where things stand with the lawsuit he and his company Global Wrestling Entertainment have filed against Impact Wrestling parent company Anthem.
The request (which Anthem’s attorneys have agreed to) is due to Jarrett’s travel schedule, responsibilities his attorneys have on a matter not related to the lawsuit, and international travel required of Anthem’s attorneys preventing all sides from being able to meet for a conference on the case. It was noted all sides are working on figuring out when they will be able to meet.

WWE'S ATTEMPTS TO BE DISMISSED AS DEFENDANT IN TITUS O'NEIL LAWSUIT SHOT DOWN
On 3/19, the United States District Court, Middle Division, of Florida shot down World Wrestling Entertainment’s motion arguing they should be dismissed as a defendant in the lawsuit brought by Cameraman Donald Anderson against the company and WWE performer Thaddeus "Titus O'Neil" Bullard. Anderson has alleged he was injured by Bullard after the WWE star became upset while being filmed for a segment on WWE Network prank series Swerved. The court did not provide details as to why they were denying the motion beyond noting the decision was made, "Upon consideration of all relevant filings, case law, and being otherwise fully advised."
WWE had argued they did not fall under jurisdiction of the court in Florida as they were a Connecticut-based company. Anderson had specifically used quotes from Paul Levesque and WWE Executive John Saboor about the importance of the WWE Performance Center in Florida in an Amended version of his lawsuit, attempting to use those comments in order to prove that WWE would indeed fall under the court's jurisdiction as they do business regularly in the Sunshine State.
Anderson has been instructed by the court to file a supplemental response to WWE’s motion to dismiss by 5/10, at which point WWE will be allowed 14 days to respond and again argue for their dismissal as a defendant from the case.
A mediation meeting in regard to the lawsuit was scheduled to take place on 3/13 in Tampa, Florida, but there is no word yet whether there was any movement towards the case being settled coming out of that scheduled mediation.
Anderson’s lawsuit against WWE and Bullard alleges Battery, Assault, Willful Misconduct, Negligence, Gross Negligence, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress and Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress. As been previously reported, Anderson has alleged "he was injured by Bullard after the WWE star became upset while being filmed” for a segment on WWE Network prank series Swerved. Bullard has counter-sued Anderson.
Anderson (who had been hired through a third party, Uranus Productions) was backstage at a WWE TV taping filming a segment where Bullard was shocked by WWE performer Paige. Bullard became, according to the lawsuit, "enraged", alleging charging and kicking the camera out of Anderson's hand, injuring him. Bullard has denied those allegations in his response to Anderson's lawsuit. Paige is not a party in the lawsuit.
Anderson alleged that WWE placed him in an unsafe working environment and that they had a duty to protect him from being placed in such a situation. Anderson claims in the suit that Uranus Productions were told that WWE, "would select their own representatives to organize, manage and direct the electric shock prank activity. Consequently, WWE undertook the job of selecting specific WWE personalities as targets, on which to use the electric shock device." So, he is placing all the blame for the incident taking place on WWE's shoulders. Anderson also claimed in the suit that he was instructed by WWE that he was "not safe on the premises", that Bullard "could not be controlled" and would presenting an "ongoing threat" to Anderson. Anderson claims he was instructed to leave the WWE venue out of fear that O'Neil might go after him again and was "whisked" away.
The lawsuit also alleged that Bullard "was known by WWE as possessing significant anger management issues" and that Bullard's alleged assault lead to injuries on Anderson's hand, wrist and fingers to the point he could not work for six months. In the lawsuit, Anderson claiming that he has faced "bodily injury, pain and suffering, mental anguish, extreme emotional distress, disfigurement, medical expenses, physical handicap, loss of income, loss of the capacity for enjoyment of life and loss of ability to earn money.
In a response filed on 6/19/18, Bullard stated he "acted out of necessity to prevent being assaulted" again by the cattle prod during the prank and that he "did not create the danger to be avoided and stopped his action when the danger was gone." Bullard also stated that Anderson "knowingly and voluntarily assumed the risk when he intentionally conspired, planned and participated" to "film/record the assault and battery" of Bullard with the cattle prod. Bullard's response also stated that he "used reasonable force that was not greater than necessary to end the threat of being cattle prodded repeatedly." Bullard is also arguing that any damages to Anderson were caused by his employer, Uranus Productions and that he should be covered by workman's compensation through them. Bullard is also arguing that since Anderson conspired with Uranus to assault him with the cattle prod, he should be barred from bringing any claims against Bullard.
Bullard's counter-suit is in the amount of $15,000, the same amount that Anderson is suing him for. Anderson's lawsuit seeks in excess of $15,000 in damages as well as whatever punitive damages the Sixth Judicial Court of Pasco County, Florida may rule Anderson deserves, should they rule in his favor. The original lawsuit filed by Anderson in California had sought $1.2 million in damages and cited that Anderson allegedly faced medical bills in excess of $150,000. The newer lawsuit filed in Florida has not made any mention of that allegation since the case was transferred to the Sunshine State.
Bullard's counter-suit against Anderson alleges conspiracy to commit battery, conspiracy to commit assault, negligence, gross negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress. Bullard contends that Anderson was hired by Uranus Productions, who were hired to develop the Swerved TV series for WWE and "were responsible for generating storylines for each episode and for handling all aspects of physical production."
Bullard's lawsuit states that WWE "contractually retained all authority over all significant creative aspects" of the series and had to approve each prank, but that Bullard was assaulted with the cattle prod "unbeknownst to WWE" in the scene Anderson filmed that is now at the center of the lawsuit. In his counter-suit, Bullard included material showing that the prank was not included on a list of sketches and pranks approved for the episode by Brian Terwillinger, at the time the WWE Vice President of Development. Bullard also alleges that Uranus Productions, including Anderson, "intentionally directed" Saraya Jade-Bevis (WWE performer Paige) to assault him with the cattle prod without any concern for his well-being. Bullard also states that at no time did he "consent or otherwise approve of the wrongful, malicious acts" against him.
In the counter-suit, Bullard alleges that Anderson filmed Bullard being "harmed in an offensive and reckless" way, he suffered harmful, offensive, reckless and intentional contact that he did not consent to and was injured and suffered damages, including and not limited to bodily injury, pain and suffering and mental anguish." Bullard alleged that Anderson should have known that the stunt would have caused severe and serious injury to Bullard but was negligent and disregarded Bullard's safety.
Bullard has previously reserved his right to sue Uranus Productions at a later time.
WWE discontinued the Swerved reality series after its second season. The first season, where the alleged incident took place, saw WWE performers pranking each other. The second season brought a slight change in the concept of the show, as WWE performers were now pranking other parties, including fans.
Bullard signed to a developmental deal with WWE in 2009 and was called up to the main roster in 2012. He has been heavily involved in countless community outreach and charitable programs as part of his association with WWE as well as on his own in his local community.
WWE Bringing In A "Big Name" For Wrestlemania (Who Happens To Already Be ON, The WWE Payroll)
That "BBIIGG Name"? Is Hulk Hogan (rolls eyes).
WWOOWW, how convenient. Bring in a guy who's already on the WWE Payroll. How fucking original is that? Why not spend some cash and bring in someone who isn't already getting paid by Vince McMahon? What a concept that would be, but of course it's a concept that'd be lost on the WWE.

Mat Memory- Dan Kroffat and Alofa vs The Long Riders (March 6, 1986 International Wrestling In Canada)
Following the departure of Jacques Jr. & Raymond Rougeau, a tournament was held to determine new International Tag Team Champions. The tournament culminated in a match pitting the Irwin brothers, Bill and Scott (also known as the Long Riders) against Dan Kroffat (a future gaijin star in All-Japan and partner with Doug Furnas) and Alofa the Polynesian Prince (Rikishi Fatu). The Irwins are managed by the underrated Eddie the Brain Creatchman. This finals match was taped in Sudbury, Ontario on March 6, 1986. Milt Avruskin and Gino Brito provide commentary. I've included interviews with the Irwins & Creatchman and Kroffat & Alofa. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk0qX7Lm7ik
Mat Memory- Eddie & Floyd Creatchman & Long Riders interview (January 1986 TV)
The new year of 1986 brought in fresh faces and returning faces for International Wrestling from Montreal. Bill & Scott Irwin, otherwise known as the Long Riders, trekked to Quebec to work for IW under the tutelage of Eddie the Brain Creatchman after a run in the AWA. That's not all, however! Another Creatchman would join the fray, this of course being Eddie's son Floyd Creatchman. Floyd made his return to IW after a long absence (Floyd was last seen managing King Tonga during the latter's arrival in Quebec in the summer of 1984). The year of 1986 proved to be a banner year for the Creatchmans, as Eddie would go on to lead the Long Riders to the International Tag Team Championship, while Floyd brought The Great Samu to the International Heavyweight Championship. This interview from IW TV, most likely aired in January 1986, marked Floyd's return and the Irwins' debut in the territory. That's Albert Di Fruscia, Gino Brito Sr.'s nephew, attemping to handle the interview (before the Creatchmans kick him out). Great stuff!

MORE ON ALLIE'S IMPACT EXIT, FORMER IMPACT CHAMP RETURNING AS PRODUCER THIS WEEKEND.
Allie's last appearance for Impact Wrestling will air on tomorrow's episode of Impact and she will not be appearing at this weekend's TV tapings. Impact Wrestling informed her in January that they would not be renewing her deal and that she would be finishing up at their last set of TV tapings in Las Vegas. We are told that it was just a decision made to refresh the roster and she was genuinely well liked. There were quite a few people from Impact who praised her work especially her attitude from the last set of TV tapings as she showed up and worked hard and had a great attitude towards everyone despite being put into a difficult situation where she knew she was done.Allie kept the fact she was finishing up to herself and no one on the roster was really aware of it until today's AEW signing announcement. At one point, she was one of the hottest characters in Impact, so it should be interesting to see what AEW plans to do with her.
Chris Sabin will be working as a Producer/Agent at this weekend's Impact Wrestling tapings. The former Impact Champion's Ring of Honor deal has expired and he did not sign a new deal. Sabin still has yet to have surgery on his torn ACL.
Lance Storm will also be working as a producer this weekend in Windsor. D'Lo Brown and Paul London worked in similar roles at the last Las Vegas taping. We are told that the company is working on finding the right mix of producer to replace Sonjay Dutt and Abyss and will be trying different producers before settling into a decision on permanent replacements.

MLW NEWS AND NOTES
ajor League Wrestling will be introducing a new championship.
Jim Cornette will be doing a meet and greet before the MLW events in New York City on 4/4 and 4/5 at the Melrose Ballroom in Long Island City, Queens. Those will be Cornette's only appearances Wrestlemania weekend.
Puma King is done here. MLW was unhappy with him double booking himself on dates he also had MLW commitments. He was well liked but the feeling was that it's impossible to push him if they couldn't be assured MLW was going to be his priority on their dates. King was booked for other shows over the course of Wrestlemania weekend, so that may have been the issue.
Officially added to the Battle Riot match on 4/5 are Barrington Hughes, Hijo del LA Park, Mance Werner. That match will air on the live special on BeIn Sports that evening.
Salina de la Renta, who works in the office beyond her on screen roles, is working as a liaison with Mexican talent and was recently in Mexico for meetings.
George Carroll, formerly with Ring of Honor and New Japan, has been hired here as senior coordinator.
The promotion has been working on several international deals of late.
MLW will be releasing the first CONTRA Unit t-shirts. The company is thrilled with how well received the unit has become. It's been noted that the unit are picking up independent bookings left and right since debuting on TV. They will also be working in Mexico soon.
The company will be releasing LA Park shirts and doing additional merchandising going forward. Park has become one of the top draws for the company's live events.
JIM ROSS DISCUSSES WWE EXIT ON ESPN
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross appeared this afternoon on ESPN's Outside the Lines, discussing his departure from World Wrestling Entertainment at the end of the month as his contract will not be renewed.
Ross was interviewed by Bob Levy and said that he's had a long run with WWE. He said Vince McMahon and his family have been great to the Ross family. Ross said the plan is to step away gracefully.
Ross was asked how he felt about others around Vince McMahon who may not be "giving you the opportunities that you need." Ross said that he felt others might follow the trends of other broadcasters and production companies to go younger and be more mobile. He said that Hollywood values look and youth and over talent and experience. He said that sometimes, that might be applicable in his case but he can still carry his own and he hopes that there will be opportunities for him that come around sooner than later.
His WWE exit from 2013 was brought up. Ross was asked what the difference is between then and now. Ross said that he was taken out of the game by the Coach in 2013. He said that's what he was his 2013 exit as, a way to faze him out. Ross said in 2018, he had two bookings and Vince McMahon took great care of him financially. He said that he knew the writing was on the wall and it was time to exit as gracefully as possible.
Ross was asked how Vince McMahon responded when Ross told him that he was leaving for good. Ross said Vince wasn't "overwhelmed" with the decision but understood the possibilities that were out there and that they were "rejuvenating" possibilities for Ross to "get back in the game, get back in the hunt." Ross said he's not buying into the idea that he's a Medicare guy, an "AARP guy" and therefore he doesn't have anything to provide. He said he doesn't care about his age and doesn't wear a watch half the time as he doesn't want to know what time it is. He said he's going to spend every day doing everything he can to the fullest. He told Vince that if anyone can understand wanting to stay in the game, it's Vince.
Ross said he's had an amazing time working for WWE. He said that 26 years was an eternity in that world.
Ross was asked about his favorite moment in WWE. He said that's a tough one but brought up The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania 18, The Undertaker vs. Mankind at Hell in a Cell is the most memorable one because that's the one he gets asked about every day. Ross said it's one of the stories he tells on his stage shows, plugging he will have three shows over the course of Wrestlemania week in NYC. He tells the story of that night and how he didn't know that was going to happen. He said that there was never a script handed to him and was never told what to say.
On where he is going next, Ross said that nothing was signed. He was specifically asked if he was going to AEW. He responded, "I don't know. We're talking. I just haven't signed anything yet. My people and their people are talking and doing their thing." He joked that the only agent he knew growing up was a State farm agent. He said, "They are working on it." Ross said he'd love to have a radio gig talking college football and would like to do some voiceover work.
