Is The Villain Marty Scurll Going To Be World Champion? (NWA Video)
Marty Scurll vs. Nick Aldis for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship at the Crockett Cup was a classic encounter over the Ten Pounds of Gold. The relationship as best friends between Aldis and Scurll made the battle even more compelling between the stars of the National Wrestling Alliance and Ring of Honor Wrestling.
Ring of Honor Wrestling bringing Summer Supercard to Toronto, Canada on August 9th and the Ten Pounds of Gold will be defended by the National Treasures Nick Aldis. In this Exclusive video from the Philadelphia Ring of Honor Event, the NWA Worlds Champion calls out his best friend Marty Scurll to make him an offer.
At Ring of Honor's Best in the World, Nick Aldis teamed with Eli Drake to fight the Briscoe's in a tag team match that got out of control and saw Aldis in need of help. It came in the form of his insurance policy Kamille who we have not seen since the Crockett Cup. But also saw Marty Scurll come out to check on his best friend.
What will happen next between these two friends and the offer that Nick Aldis makes to Marty Scurll for ROH's Summer Supercard.

HEARING FOR BRET HART ATTACKER POSTPONED
Yesterday's scheduled hearing for Zachary Madsen, the man arrested after attacking WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart at the WWE Hall of Fame this past April, was postponed until 9/9, Madsen is now scheduled to appear in Kings Criminal Court in Brooklyn that day. This is the fifth postponement in the case.
Madsen has been charged with two counts of assault in the third degree as well as trespassing after hitting the ring that was being used as the stage for the acceptance speeches to tackle Bret Hart, taking down the WWE Hall of Famer and his niece, WWE star Natalya Neidhart. In New York, Assault in the third degree is an A misdemeanor and can be punishable in up to a year in jail per count, should Madsen be found guilty.
After tackling Hart, Madsen was immediately besieged by a number of pro wrestlers, including Hart’s nephew Davey Boy Smith Jr., New Day, Shane McMahon, Curtis Axel, Heath Slater and many others. Video of the incident clearly shows Dash Wilder drilling Madsen with an incredible punch as well After Madsen was dragged out of the Barclays Center, Drake Maverik, who had entered the fray, demanded that everyone ignore him and have Bret Hart continue his acceptance speech for the Hart Foundation, which Bret did to thunderous applause.
Hart and security guard Thaddeus Jones(who had been kicked in the ribs by Madsen) were each examined after the incident at a local hospital but released. Hart was dealing with pain and stiffness in his hip after the incident.
Madsen allegedly told authorities "it felt like it was the right time" for him to attack Hart.
Madsen’s Twitter account featured a number of strange tweets towards WWE personalities, including Triple H (demanding that women not headline Wrestlemania), Vince McMahon (featuring a photo of himself painted up as Batman foe the Joker and wearing the costume hat he wore when charging the ring) and others.

And of course I had the balls to say something about it. :)
Yep.. ANOTHER EXAMPLE of Don Callis's claim that was gonna 'get rid' of the silliness that plagued Impact Wrestling but can't.. because HE is now the one writing, creating and booking the silliness.

Roman
Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre had been pushed for the main event spot at
the Glens Falls, NY house show tonight and were still listed on the
web site a few hours ago but both are scheduled to be on Raw tonight
in Newark. Everyone should read "Death of WCW"
regarding running off fans.
And
you know they didn't offer any refunds for fans who wanted it because
the match they paid to see, wasn't gonna happen. This was advertised
as the main event. HOW.. Could you NOT offer refunds? It's the least
you can do and God knows the place isn't even gonna be sold out
because you're running on the same night a live Raw is going. Who's
dumb shit idea was THAT to do?
Yep,
WWE is really good at making fans tirn off their product.. Nice to
see they're staying consistent with it. :)

Johnny Impact Done With Impact Wrestling?
Former Impact Wrestling Champion Johnny "Impact" Hennigan finished his current run with Impact Wrestling at last night's Slammiversary PPV, losing to X-Division Champio Rich Swann.
Hennigan's Impact Wrestling contract expired several weeks ago, but the two sides agreed that he would work through the PPV in order to close out his storyline with Swann. Impact sources confirmed that Hennigan is no longer under contract to the promotion, but noted the two sides are still in talks about continuing their relationship. That said, Hennigan is now free to negotiate and sign with any promotion.
Hennigan, 39 years old, has been with Impact since 2017 and had really found himself in his current "Mayor of Slamtown" persona. Hennigan had a long run with WWE after winning the third season of their Tough Enough reality series, performing for the promotion through 2011 as John Morrison. Hennigan was also one of the top stars in the El Rey Network's Lucha Underground promotion, performing as Johnny Mundo. Over the course of his Impact run, Impact held the promotion's top title and has been one of the cornerstones of the company. He's also cultivated quite an acting resume in both independent films and TV series over the last several years. He has a new short horror film The Iron Sheik Massacre set for release this Fall.
Hennigan's wife, Taya Valkyrie, is the current Impact Knockouts Champion. Her deal with the company is believed to run through the end of 2019.
MLW Notes
Jacob Fatu won the MLW Championship. That had been the planned direction since this past March when Fatu signed an exclusive deal with the company. In storyline, CONTRA are outsiders to the company but in reality, Fatu is signed. Fatu was something of a badass, cool babyface in his bout against Tom Lawlor as the fans in Chicago got behind him with a big “New Champ” chant.
In regard to concern about Teddy Hart, who looked to be injured doing a ladder spot in Chicago over the weekend, he is 100% fine and was just selling, doing a great job of it.
The Kings of Colosseum event over the weekend was another Chicago sellout for the promotion, with the last tickets being sold about 30 minutes after the show began.
For those who have asked how MLW will treat AEW TV when it launches, we are told nothing will change on MLW’s part. MJF and Jimmy Havoc’s deal allow them to appear on any other wrestling promotion’s TV with the exception of WWE. There are no plans to stop using the talents because they are also working for AEW, but obviously, if and when their MLW deals expire, they’ll be free to move on if they choose. The Court Bauer edict has been more opportunities elsewhere for the talents means things are better for everyone.
The Chicago taping over the weekend set the promotion’s merchandise record, which was credited to expanding beyond just selling t-shirts. At the taping, they were selling autographed LA Park masks, stuffed Teddy Hart plush cats and even Von Erich foam Iron Claws.
There was super high morale after the MLW TV taping over the weekend with the locker room chanting the MLW initials during a post-show meeting, which blew Court Bauer away and really touched him.

Why Tessa Blanchard Lost To Sami Callihan At Impact Slammiversary XVII
Apparently, THIS is the theory making the rounds.
Callihan hit two piledrivers on Blanchard to pick up the victory. After the match, Callihan grabbed both his and Blanchard's bat and looked to attack her once again, instead, handing Blanchard her gold bat and then heading to the back.
Callihan hit two piledrivers on Blanchard to pick up the victory. After the match, Callihan grabbed both his and Blanchard's bat and looked to attack her once again, instead, handing Blanchard her gold bat and then heading to the back.
Some may have found the outcome surprising, but according to the latest Wrestling Observer Radio the reason was the match was designed to showcase Blanchard as Impact obviously sees her as a big star within the promotion. The plan from the start was to have Callihan win the match.
Impact apparently wants to avoid the reaction Roman Reigns has received in the past, when he's pushed to the point where fans have rejected him. Impact reportedly wants Blanchard to avoid that, so having her lose the match should quell that response, but she's still being put over by having a very strong showing against Callihan.
Dave Meltzer also noted this type of "backwards booking" is something WWE has done in the past, where the person they are pushing, loses more often. He gave the example of Daniel Bryanas someone who was able to get over with that type of strategy. While this booking often doesn't work, Blanchard could also be the exception as fans tend to get behind "the chase" if it's for the right wrestler.
Take the theory for whatever you want.
Why Buy A Ticket To Slammiversary When You Can Just "Walk On In, And Have A Seat", LMAO!
You just can't.. Make this shit up, LOL.
I
thought this was funny as hell. Is the message here "Tickets. we
don't need no stinking tickets to Slammiversary.. Just waltz on in
and take a seat".
I
had acouple different people message me and one actually called me
from the arena..(one from Twitter, Two from Facebook groups I post
in) That when they got to the arena, nobody was checking anyone to
see if they actually had tickets to the show. Security and arena
staff just let people in.
"Gotta
fill them seats up ya know.. There's plenty of empty ones so fill em
up however you can" must've been the message sent, LOL!
It
makes you wonder how people who actually BOUGHT tickets felt when
they saw shit like that happening.
"Top
Notch" work there, I tell you.. Five star all the way, LMAO!
They
had about 700 tickets sold to the event and maybe 1,00 in the
building? So HOW MANY people, thanks to the lack of anyone really
checking anyone.. Got to see that pay per view live.. FOR FREE?
HHMMM..
Hope
when they get to Villa Park for Bound For Glory, something's changed
and people actually LOOK, to SEE, if people actually HAVE a ticket.
It's
a hell of a concept I know, but obviously it's a concept people at
Impact Wrestling are having a hard time grasping.

Former WWE Star Damien Sandow Returning To The Ring With "Millennial Slayer" Gimmick
After two and a half years away from wrestling, former WWE Star Damien Sandow (Aron Stevens) will be returning to the ring at a Battle Arts PRO event on July 13 against Timothy O'Connor. After being released by WWE in 2016, Stevens made his way to Impact Wrestling for just under a year before deciding to take a break from wrestling to pursue an acting career.
Yesterday, he announced his return on social media and is going with a "Millennial Slayer" gimmick.
"Well, you might as well hear it from me first," Stevens said. "I'm here in Toronto at Battle Arts Academy. I attended a wrestling show and I had an epiphany. I've been gone for two and a half years, look what's happened to the world, look what's happened to the business. The world needs me and the business needs me. So, tonight, the 'Millennial Slayer' was born. Stayed tuned."
Along the the video promo, in the captions he wrote:
"Hey, Santino Marella, thanks for letting me run the Battle Arts Academy Rising Stars show. Sorry I had to make an example of someone. The world needs me. We all know this #prowrestling #battlearts #back
"Timothy O'Connor nothing against you as an individual. Just your generation as a whole. #millennialslayer [will] see you [on] the 13th at the Don Kolov Arena, if you are not still nursing your wounds & and if you can put your cell phone down long enough to actually show up. #truth #someonehadtosayit"
AEW "Pulls A WWE" And Yanks Star From Appearing At An Indie Event
AEW has reportedly pulled Shawn Spears from an indie event. The news is according to Limitless Wrestling's Facebook page. They explained that AEW pulled Spears from a video shoot this Friday in Portland, Maine for their event, Vacationland Cup 2019.
They had monitored his status on the show with his agent weekly and were assured that the date was locked. Limitless also explained that for the last 24 hours submitted travel solutions to both the agent and AEW to make it work for all parties, but all the ideas were denied.
Tommy Dreamer was also announced to replace Shawn Spears against Anthony Greene at Vacationland Cup 2019. Any VIP ticket holders who weren't satisfied with the news can get a refund.
Limitless ended the post by writing how the wrestling industry is continuously changing and new contracts arising, independent wrestling companies like Limitless will get the sh-- end of the stick in scenarios like this.
Their full quote was:
We've got some unfortunate news to pass along, so let's just jump into it. AEW has pulled Shawn Spears from our event this Friday in Portland for a video shoot, despite Limitless having an agreement with Shawn before his new contract was signed. We've monitored his status on this show with his agent WEEKLY leading up to Friday and were assured the date was locked. We've spent the past 24 hours submitting different travel solutions to Shawn's agent & AEW to make it work for all parties, all of which were denied.
Tommy Dreamer will replace Shawn Spears against Anthony Greene at #VLC2019. VIP ticket holders will receive a free Tommy Dreamer Limitless Trading Card + a free autograph from Dreamer. Any VIP ticket holders who are not satisfied and would like a refund can email RandyCarver@yahoo.com.Unfortunately, with the wrestling industry continuously changing and new contracts arising, independent wrestling companies like Limitless will get the s--t end of the stick in scenarios like this. Our job is to always be up front and provide the best show possible for the best wrestling fans in the world. We'll be doing it again this Friday & I hope to see you there. Thanks for sticking with us.- Randy
Here's their Facebook post.
Why should it ONLY be "VIP" Ticket holders who get a refund? ANY ticket holder who isn't satisfied with this should get a refund. Bet I won't get an answer to that one.

Jon Moxley Talks Speaking Out Against WWE Creative
Since leaving WWE, Jon Moxley has already claimed the IWGP United States title, entered into the G1 tournament and become a major player in AEW. Moxley took time to sit down with the Store Horseman and discussed his thoughts on WWE and the catharsis he felt speaking about those problems.
"The only problem I really had with anybody was Vince," Moxley stated. "That's not even an actual problem, if he called me and asked what I'm doing and how it's going, I'd be like what's up man, it would be cool, we have never had a conversation that didn't involve wrestling. It's just creatively we stopped speaking the same language. Creative problems are not life and death problems."
Moxley detailed his problems with WWE creative last month on Chris Jericho's podcast, Talk Is Jericho. Despite Moxley being cool with WWE, he understands that some talent may not feel that way. His former Shield partner Seth Rollins recently said that it was a "little presumptuous" of Moxley to bash the company that "gave him such an opportunity." Regardless, Moxley feels it was healing for him to address the issues.
"I'm sure I'm persona non grata there," Moxley guessed. "For me, the fog is continuously being lifted, I realize how unhappy I was, how much it affected me. I found pro wrestling again, even when I did the podcast, it had been months of me being silent. People telling me about my career, it was frustrating hearing everyone talk about you when they don't know what the f--k they are talking about. I could never replicate that podcast."
Moxley said the down feelings were feelings he did not even recognize he had while in WWE. He also offered advice for people going through a similar situation.
"It's all in hindsight," said Moxley "In the moment it just felt good to get out. It wasn't even real to me. I was just like everything is good, punching the clock, working 9 to 5, living the dream. Once I said it out loud, it became real, but it is all good now. My advice for anyone is if you can identify that, don't be afraid to identify that and don't be afraid to be just honest with the situation. It can only get better from there. Keeping it to yourself just exasperates the problem."

JARRET, GLOBAL FORCE (Meaning Just Jeff Jarrett), SEEKING APPEAL OF DISMISSED COPYRIGHT CLAIMS,
Yes, this lame shit is STILL going on..
Global Force Entertainment and Jeff Jarrett (Which is just basically Jeff Jarrett) filed a motion seeking an interlocutory appeal, which allows a lawsuit to move forward while a certain aspect of it is being appealed.
GFE and Jarrett are asking that the court reconsider their decision to dismiss their copyright infringement claim against Anthem, the parent company of Impact Wrestling. Anthem had argued that since GWE and Jarrett failed to copyright and trademark their GFW Amped! TV tapes and since Jarrett provided a license for Anthem to use the tapes, there can be no infringement. Anthem also argued that by law, Jarrett & GWE should have filed their copyrights or have been refused registration in order to claim copyright infringement in court. Since neither has happened – as Jarrett did not have physical possession of the GFW master tapes, which Impact has already admitted they deleted – Anthem argued that the infringement claim could not go forward in court.
In a motion filed on 7/3, Jarrett’s attorneys noted that the Court ruled “Plaintiffs have no rights under the Copyright Act, and their copyright claim will be dismissed” because GFE did not complete the registration process.”
Jarrett’s side argued, “It did not matter to the Court the reason the registration process could not be completed—namely, the infringers destroyed the only copy of the works-at-issue. They noted that the current law does not consider a situation where the entity infringing on the copyright “destroyed the only copy of a work before application for registration and, therefore, making registration, or refusal thereof an impossibility because no deposit copy of the original work is available through no fault of the copyright owner.”
Jarrett’s attorneys argued, “The dismissal of Plaintiff’s copyright claim presents an important public policy issue regarding the deprivation of rights endowed to creators of the arts under Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the Constitution. The Court’s Order, and basis for the Order, signals future infringers that they may act with no fear of penalty under the Copyright Act if they destroy the only copy of the work before a copyright owner’s filing an application for registration. This is akin to giving a free pass to criminals solely because they destroy the evidence of their crimes. Second, and respectfully, the Court’s Order and Memorandum Opinion incorrectly applied the Supreme Court’s decision in Fourth Estate by holding that a lack of a registration extinguishes a copyright owners rights under the Copyright Act. The Court’s Order stated in pertinent part, “Plaintiffs have no rights under the Copyright Act, and their copyright claim will be dismissed.” Memorandum Opinion, This is incorrect because ownership and existence of a copyright are separate from an ability to sue. Under the Copyright Act, the author of an original work has exclusive rights from the moment of creation of the work. Registration of a work is purely an administrative requirement before suing to enforce those rights. “
Basically, Jarrett is arguing his claim was dismissed because he and GWE did not complete the copyright process of the GFW AMPED! master tapes, but those tapes could not be copyrighted because Impact deleted the masters. So, since they are at fault for that not taking place, his attorneys are arguing that should not let them off the hook.
Back in April, a motion from Jarrett and GWE noted, "This case presents a unique issue. In anticipation of a merger that ultimately failed, Defendants came into possession of the only copies of master recordings of the sixteen (16) one-hour episodes (the “Episodes”) of Global Force Wrestling (“GFW”) AMPED content (the “Masters”) at issue. There is and can be no dispute that Defendants (1) had the only copy of the Masters and (2) destroyed the Masters. Plaintiffs have alleged each one-hour episode in the Masters is worth up to $300,000."
Jarrett’s side is requesting the interlocutory appeal now because waiting for the end of the legal process could require going back to another round of discovery and additional depositions as well as a second trial to determine the copyright claim.

LMAO! WWE Officials Upset With How The WWE UK Title Was Disrespected At A Recent OTT Indie Event
This is the clip of what the WWE has its panties in an uproar about.
WWE officials are reportedly not happy over how the WWE UK Title was used at a recent indie event in Ireland, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
Indie wrestler David Starr, who has spoken out against WWE several times in the past, faced WWE UK Champion WALTER in the main event of Over The Top Wrestling's WrestleRama 3 event in Dublin, Ireland from the National Basketball Arena, back on June 23. They did an angle during the match that saw Starr grab the title, shout at WALTER for selling out, and then disrespect the title by stomping on it. Fans in the arena popped for the spot and WALTER would go on to win the match.
It was originally believed that WWE approved the angle with the title belt, but that's not the case. WWE did not give the OK for the belt to be stomped on, and very few knew about it ahead of time. The Observer reports that WALTER and Starr made the call to shock people live, knowing it would get over in a big way. The reaction from within WWE was not positive as many wrestlers thought it was disrespectful and the higher-ups weren't happy either.
AAWWW WWAA WAA WWE, LMAO!
JERRY LAWLER'S FORMER PODCAST PARTNER GLENN MOORE ACCUSED OF SCAMMING LISTENERS OF THE SHOW
WMC in Memphis, TN is reporting that Jerry Lawler's former podcast partner, Glenn Moore, is accused of scamming people out of money in return for Lawler original artwork that The King had no knowledge he was selling.
A Lawler fan named Jason Lurie took Moore up on an offer that was made on the podcast where Lawler would do original art for listeners. Lurie reached out to Moore and was told that he could get an original drawling for $250.
Lurie then reached out to Moore and asked about an oil painting of his cat and was told it cost $1,500. He claims he sent the money via Paypal and never received the painting.
He contacted Lawler via social media and registered letter and got no response. Finally, he had a lawyer contact Lawler, who he told could be liable under Tennessee law.
Once Lawler found out about the alleged scam being run by Moore he told WMC:
“I’m totally shocked by this behavior. I mean, we did like 90 podcasts together over a period of years. This is a guy I thought was a friend and I trusted him. I’m certainly sorry this has happened.”
Lawler said that Moore lost his job last December and changed after that. Lawler also stated, "We're gonna work to try to make this thing right. One way or another. Hopefully, we'll be able to get people's money back. If not, we'll get them the artwork they tried to buy."
The story states that other fans took to social media to claim that they have been duped by Moore as well. Check it out here. https://www.wmcactionnews5.com/2019/07/05/jerry-lawler-plans-make-amends-amid-art-scam-accusations/

Booker T Pulls Out Of All Out
- Booker T, after agreeing to come, has pulled out of All Out. He evidently said when pulling out that he found out the WWE vs. AEW war was very real and he didn't want to be in the middle of it. I've been told to expect another major counter by WWE shortly.
