No Selling And More As -CODY HAS HEARD ENOUGH OF JAKE ROBERTS AND IS READY TO DESTROY LANCE ARCHER | AEW DYNAMITE 5/13/20
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEl2-dpGyps
You would think, that being around as long as he has Archer/Hoyt would already KNOW, how to sell. Or at the least.. Jake would advise pr encourage him on how to sell. Guess that's not the case.
Why bother showing someone how to properly sell when you're only there for a payday, right?

Road Warriors & Fabulous Ones - Why Our Match Turned into a Real Life Shoot Fight
Back in the mid 1980's for Verne Gagne's AWA Wrestling, two of the most talked about tag teams entered into a program. Road Warriors (Hawk, Animal) & Fabulous One (Steve Keirn, Stan Lane) fought one some of the biggest pro wrestling stages in the country. The Fabs had done to job for the Road Warriors each time they met in the ring but it came time for Hawk & Animal to return the favor, the duo decided to change the finish mid match!
Find out why the Road Warriors refused to do the job for the Fabulous Ones & the receipt that came later in Puerto Rico!
The Road Warriors interview was conducted in 2000 while the Fabulous Ones interview was 2017.

Road Warriors & Demolition - Why Our Feud in WWF Didn't Work
Vince McMahon has wanted the Road Warriors to join WWE (known as WWF at the time) since the mid 1980s when Animal & Hawk were destroying opponents in NWA Wrestling, AWA and Japan. The Road Warriors were the most dominant tag team in pro wrestling but they didn't arrive in WWF until 1990.
In the meantime, Vince McMahon created a new tag team in 1987 called Demolition. Fans quickly saw the similarities between the Road Warriors & Demolition but the team would only grow in popularity, becoming WWF Tag Team Champions. Ax & Smash (Bill Eadie, Barry Darsow) were on fire for years until McMahon finally signed the Road Warriors in 1990. Fans knew it was time they would finally see their dream match between the two most powerful tag teams of the 1980s. Unfortunately the series came off lackluster to many fans, leaving Demolition to disappear from WWF shortly after.
The Road Warriors interview was conducted in 2000 while the Demolition interview was 2005.

Demolition - When Crush Replaced Ax in WWF & Why it Hurt the Team
It was just before Wrestlemania VII and Vince McMahon needed to find a replacement for Ax! You see Ax (Bill Eadie) had a medical incident relating to a shellfish allergy, he would no longer be available for the biggest show on the WWF calendar.
Meanwhile, Brian Adams was already doing tryouts for WWF and was on the radar to be a future talent. Vince McMahon told Smash (Barry Darsow) that Brian Adams would be repacked as Crush and temporarily replace Ax. This led to several 6-man tag team matches showcasing Ax, Smash & Crush vs Road Warriors & Ultimate Warrior.
Demolition went from getting one of the biggest pops of Wrestlemania VI to working an essential throwaway match at Wrestlemania VII. Smash & Crush would continue to team through 1991 and also worked as singles. By 1992, the team was over and Smash was repacked as Repo Man. Crush went through a gimmick change and became a surfer looking dude from Hawaii. Ax left the WWF and continued wrestling on the independents.

Billy Corgan Reveals New NWA Show
NWA Owner Billy Corgan has announced a new series called NWA Carnyland.
Carnyland will premiere next Tuesday at 6:05pm ET on the NWA YouTube channel. This is the normal time slot for the weekly NWA Power series.
Corgan announced Carnyland during tonight's season 3 finale of Power, called Super Power. As seen in the video below, Corgan touted how the NWA has just passed 200,000 subscribers and they've worked hard to bring the promotion back into international prominence, with a great roster and team. Corgan added that under no circumstances do they want to fold the promotion, no matter how tough and difficult things get amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
Instead of folding, they have come up with this new Carnyland show. Corgan said the NWA can't present pro wrestling in a right like they want to right now, due to the coronavirus pandemic having a negative impact on tapings, so they went back to an idea they had back when he first acquired the promotion. Corgan said he finds the Carnyland idea to be intriguing, and said it's unlike anything else in pro wrestling.
Corgan called on fans to take one more step with the NWA and trust them on this "crazy concept called Carnyland" as they have with the Power and 10 Pounds Of Gold series.
"What is Carnyland? Well I can't quite tell you cause it's almost impossible to explain," Corgan said. "But tune in next week, Tuesday 6:05, our normal timeslot here on our YouTube channel, and you'll most certainly find out just like I will."
As seen in the tweets below, the NWA is already selling a black logo t-shirt for Carnyland, and they have a Twitter account set up for the series at @carnyland. The location for the show is set to one of the most famous locations in pro wrestling history - Parts Unknown.

Another Week Goes By And Yet, Another Idiot Has To Be Put In Their Place. (Way Too Easy)
You'd think they'd learn by mow that when you come at me, I'm gonna easily put their ass in their place. BUT.. No, people insist I go ahead and put them in check.. Like this latest example coming from a group on FB. Some morons just, never... learn.
I always love they claim nobody reads this blog and what happens when i check their dumb ass on it? Course they won't have the balls to admit they got checked, they have to try and find something else so they can attempt to redeem themselves from the fact they got checked, quickly, with barely any effort from me (the way it usually happens). So this idiot goes for this..
Of course because he was too lazy to go see this and is part of this current era of dumb shits that are lazy and have to have things handed to them. I hand it to him and then you see how he quickly tries again, to redeem the fact he got checked, TWICE, in less than three minutes. Then of course what does this moron do? Goes for the same thing everyone else always goes for, the same lame weak ass cop out excuse of "A duh, I was bored" that they always try and hide behind thinking it makes them look good, when in reality it just makes them look even more stupid. Why is it these assclowns ALWAYS reply the same way, with the same weak lame replies that doesn't help them at all? can pull up other examples that I've posted here and every time.. It's the same tired, lame weak unconvincing excuses, every time when someone gets put in their place by me.. I keep asking when are they gonna make it an actual challenge coming at me.. I guess the answer will always be the same.. never.. They're just not capable of it..
See what I mean? I can post half a dozen different examples of me putting dipshits in their place and every single one.. Uses that same lame cop out of "DUH, I was bored, uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh" And it never works, even though they are too stupid, to realize that.
Like I said, they make it so easy for me to smack them verbally, and what's even more remarkable is this idiot Paul, was the one who made this post on FB to try and come at me, and winds up? Getting smacked left and right as a result.. Yes, people are just this stupid. This stupid, indeed.
Then he decides because he's gotten checked too many times, let's try bragging, like that's gonna impress the fuck out of me.. As you'll see by my reply.. it doesn't, LOL. Not, even close.
He's no Rich Palladino, that's for sure, LMAO.
Then of course he thinks he's made some 'earth shattering challenge' and after all the times he's gotten checked, THIS becomes the only thing he can hide behind thinking it's gonna get him over.
Bet he was really thumping his chest when he scraped this one up.. needless to say this was the best he could do after getting put in his place over and over again..
I'm sure he's replying some more and if there's other gems of stupidity on his part I think need to be added here, I'll add them. But as i titled this, Another week goes by, and another idiot has to be put in their place..
It really is, way too easy, knowing what kind of dumb fucks are on social media now.
UPDATE... !:00 PM.. Ol Paulypoo just deleted the post where all these screenshots came from, LMAO! I guess when it comes down to it, HE couldn't handle taking the lumps after he tried to come at me, and failed miserably, hahahahahahahahahaha.. That's usually the end result after I punk a guy out with ease, quickly delete what they started in hopes nobody would noticed he got punked and checked.. The screen shots say it all, he was and it didn't take a whole lot of effort to do it either. LMAO! Gotta love the dip shits that are on social media, I tell ya, LOL.

Conrad Thompson SERIOUSLY Needs To Check What He Uploads Onto YouTube.
First.. There was this story I did, THREE DAYS AGO.. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2020/05/can-someone-please-show-conrad-thomas.html where he uploaded a segment and titled "Scott Hall" even though there, was NO MENTION of Scott Hall in the entire segment. (And take note, he STILL hasn't corrected that either.. I guess he feels he's above correcting himself).
NOW.. Comes this gem three days later..
Go ahead and click this link.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA-7Cdbw-Nk and try listening to it... Go ahead, i dare you.. Give it the ol college try...
You can't.. because the voices on there sound like the fucking chipmunks, LMAO! Or someone inhaled a serious amount of helium.
Doesn't Conrad actually check.. To see if these uploads actually work properly AFTER, he uploads them?
Obviously, if I'm writing this story about it, the answer clearly is.. No..
So since he's proven twice in less than a week that he's incapable of uploading or titling his segments correctly, can someone offer to do it for him? It's obvious he's doesn't have the common sense or smarts to do it on his own.

Promoter talks wrestlers being short-sighted and not “giving a sh*t” during pandemic
Owner and promoter of Revolution Pro Wrestling (Rev Pro) Andy Quildan recently appeared on Colt Cabana’s Art of Wrestling podcast. The longtime promoter on the British scene discussed a number of topics on the podcast, including his contact (or lack thereof) with performers during the ongoing coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.
“Maybe two or three wrestlers that have reached out during this time, most couldn’t give a shit (laughs)” Quildan would begin on the podcast. “There’s been a few that have reached out but the majority have not reached out.”
Quildan would then discuss the mindset of certain performers in the pro wrestling independent scene. Rev Pro is one of the biggest promotions in the United Kingdom, with an ongoing working relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling. For the past couple of years the Rev Pro British Championship has been defended at NJPW’s annual Wrestle Kingdom event.
So realistically, it is probably in wrestler’s best interests to be on the good side of Rev Pro. “I think a lot of wrestlers are…I’m not, I’m not putting everyone in the same bracket. But I think a lot of wrestlers, think about today and ‘if you can’t do anything for me today then I’m not reaching out to you until tomorrow. When you can do something for me” Quildan would state.”
The Rev Pro owner would then jokingly talk about how he was probably going to get a ton of contact from performers following his Art of Wrestling interview. “You watch, this will come out and then all of a sudden I get a load of messages! It’s noted those who have reached out to me. But like I said it’s a very small amount of people.”

More On The Alberto Del Rio Sexual Assault Charge
Alberto Del Rio was arrested on May 9 and charged with sexual assault, a second degree felony. His bond was set at $50,000 as records showed that he posted bond and was released from jail around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday.
News 4 San Antonio reports that an affidavit for Del Rio, real name Jose A. Rodriguez Chucuan, gave graphic detail of the incident. Court documents state that the victim had been assaulted by Del Rio on more than one occasion.
News 4 San Antonio gave a detailed account of the events. Del Rio allegedly accused the victim of being unfaithful. She alleged that he became angry when she wouldn't admit to cheating on him so he struck her and then took her to his downstairs bedroom and slapped her eight more times. The victim claimed that he then made her put on a dress and dance for him, but she refused. He allegedly then warned her not to cry or he'd take her son and 'drop him off in the middle of the road somewhere.'
More graphic details have been released. While the victim told detectives that she does not remember much of the events, she went forward with photographs of what happened to her. News San Antionio reported, "police said Rodriguez Chucuan then tied the woman's hands with boxing straps, put a sock in her mouth and sexually assaulted her for several hours, using various objects."
Investigators are stating that Del Rio also punched her in the back during the assault, which caused visible injuries. The woman claimed that she does not remember much after he placed his hand around her throat.
In addition to this weekend’s arrest for sexual assault, it looks like Alberto Del Rio was arrested last August.
According to arrest reports in San Antonio, Jose A Rodriguezchucuan (Alberto Del Rio) was arrested on August 7, 2019 for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He posted a $20,000 bond to get out of jail. There is no word on the status of that case.
Alberto is facing a minimum of 2 years in jail if convicted of the charges. This is the latest in series of disturbing incidents involving Del Rio, dating back to when he was dating Paige.

I Said There's Plenty Of Idiots On Social Media, Here's Proof That I'm Right
I've said time and again that social media is infested with morons and idiots.. And yesterday I while in a few places on FB I said "I'll show you how the idiots will come out of the woodwork real easily".
What In did I do? I simply said "What fucking moron actually thought that the name "Jelly Nutella" would be an awesome wrestling name? (rolls eyes at the stupidity of it)". Which was something I heard on Jim Cornette's podcast. Something just told me that if I said something like that, idiots would come out of everywhere and why? Because they're idiots.. And morons.. So here's some examples of the ass clowns that went ahead and proved me right.
Here's my favorite one of the bunch, this one cracks me up to no end.
I guess I'm supposed to have a heart attack in rage and frustration because the best some mark on Twitter could come up with as an attempt to insult me was "Boomer", aaaaahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Oh my oh geez, I'm just "sssoo insulted' because you called me, ahem 'Boomer", aaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! That the best these ass clowns can do for insulting now is call people '"Boomer"? LMAO!
But here's the kicker.. HERE'S the biggest ass clown who fell for this old trick.. The one guy you would've thought.. Wouldn't come out and make himself look like an idiot when it came to this topic? Is indeed the guy who showed what a total dumb ass he really is.. Here he is in all his idiotic glory.
Yep, the very guy that Cornette makes fun of every week has come out and proved me, absolutely correct that idiots and morons are indeed infested on social media..
The pride of AEW himself, fell for this trick and fell for it hook, line and fucking sinker.. ROFLMAO! When someone who is supposed to be "in the business" falls for one of the oldest tricks in the book? A trick I've done time and again over the last three years? That shows you indeed, what a fucking dumb ass he is.
Gotta love marks today, they are indeed.. "Something else" And hey Joey, thanks for the great support as well. Nice to know you're just as stupid.. As the marks.. (smiles).
What In did I do? I simply said "What fucking moron actually thought that the name "Jelly Nutella" would be an awesome wrestling name? (rolls eyes at the stupidity of it)". Which was something I heard on Jim Cornette's podcast. Something just told me that if I said something like that, idiots would come out of everywhere and why? Because they're idiots.. And morons.. So here's some examples of the ass clowns that went ahead and proved me right.
Here's my favorite one of the bunch, this one cracks me up to no end.
But here's the kicker.. HERE'S the biggest ass clown who fell for this old trick.. The one guy you would've thought.. Wouldn't come out and make himself look like an idiot when it came to this topic? Is indeed the guy who showed what a total dumb ass he really is.. Here he is in all his idiotic glory.
Yep, the very guy that Cornette makes fun of every week has come out and proved me, absolutely correct that idiots and morons are indeed infested on social media..
The pride of AEW himself, fell for this trick and fell for it hook, line and fucking sinker.. ROFLMAO! When someone who is supposed to be "in the business" falls for one of the oldest tricks in the book? A trick I've done time and again over the last three years? That shows you indeed, what a fucking dumb ass he is.
Gotta love marks today, they are indeed.. "Something else" And hey Joey, thanks for the great support as well. Nice to know you're just as stupid.. As the marks.. (smiles).

ALBERTO DEL RIO ARRESTED, ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT
Jose Rodriguez, best known under ring names Alberto Del Rio and Alberto El Patron, has been arrested on sexual assault charges.
According to an NBC affiliate in San Antonio, Texas, Rodriguez was arrested on May 9 after the victim reported to the police that Rodriguez had become angry with the victim and assaulted her on May 3, causing multiple injuries to her body. According to an arrest affidavit, the injuries were later photographed.
As she reported the crime to the police, Rodriguez allegedly asked what she was doing and continued to assault her, repeatedly slapping her on the head. The victim said that Rodriguez forced her downstairs, made her wear a dress and dance for him. She told police that he said for her not to cry because if she did, he would take her son and drop him off in the middle of the road somewhere.
The affiliate, which originally didn't identify Rodriguez as a professional wrestler, later changed their story to confirm Rodriguez's identity and removed details pertaining to the charges.
TMZ later confirmed that Rodriguez is still in custody.
Rodriguez, who has largely wrestled in Mexico for the last year, most recently fought against Tito Ortiz on a Combate Americas card back in December. He lost via first round submission.
If he is found guilty, the minimum prison sentence for sexual assault under Texas law would be 2 years. As a second degree felony under Texas law, sexual assault can also lead to a fine of up to $10,000, in addition to incarceration. He does not yet have a court date scheduled.

ACH On Wishing Things Went Different With His WWE Departure, Having A Meltdown On Social Media
Former WWE NXT Superstar Jordan Myles (also known as ACH) was released by the company in November 2019 after "quitting" the week before. The departure was controversial as Myles had made accusations of racism against WWE. This came after WWE released Myles' first t-shirt, which he said resembled a "blackface" character. You can read previous reports on Myles' release here and here.
ACH recently appeared on the "Submission Squad Presents: Dollar Menu Midcarders" podcast and while he was remorseful about how he handled everything, he admitted he was just really angry over the t-shirt.
"I was having the time of my life there, dude, I really was," ACH said of NXT . I enjoyed my time there, I really did, but then when they released that shirt, it's when I got angry and then I made a lot of comments that I'm not gonna take back because that's just how I feel.
"Now, could I have said them a lot better? Absolutely. Absolutely. I said a lot of things out of anger… If I could have said those things a little bit more intelligently and calmly and came from a real place and not an angry place, I think it would have been okay but the fact that I was just so angry and mad and disrespected, and I just felt like a joke… I don't hold too many grudges but that s--t really pissed me off, man, it made me mad, man."
ACH later said the post-release "attacks" from people broke him. He said he wishes he would have just turned his phone off and let everything pass. The NXT Breakout Tournament winner admitted he "had a meltdown in front of the entire world" and wishes things ended differently. ACH also said he had people telling him that mental health issues were to blame for what happened.
"Being attacked by people you don't know, coming from all angles, all cities, states, countries, telling you you're wrong, it's like f--k dude. It broke me," ACH said. "It really rocked me to my core, and I wish I could have did things differently. I wish I would have just turned my phone off and let things die down...
"I honestly wish I could have did things differently and then like I had people trying to tell me to use like mental issues, not as an excuse, but you know, say that's the thing. 'You have anxiety,' or your depression. 'You're depressed, it's why you're outlashing.' You know, to help smooth things over, and I'm like man, I'm not one of those people, I don't come up with excuses for myself. I was angry… I had a meltdown in front of the entire world, that's really what happened. I had a meltdown. I broke down in front of the entire world."

AEW Fined $10,000 By The Maryland State Athletic Commission For Jon Moxley Vs. Kenny Omega Match
AEW has been fined $10,000 by the Maryland State Athletic Commission over the "Unsanctioned Lights Out match" between current AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and current AEW World Tag Team Champion Kenny Omega.
The order, seen below, notes that AEW was the promoter for a pro wrestling match between Omega and Moxley at the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland on November 9, 2019, a match that saw the licensed talents suffer lacerations that caused blood to be introduced into the ring. The commission determined that administrative charges against AEW were appropriate for alleged violations of Maryland law pertaining to pro wrestling contests and related regulations.
The filing mentions how Moxley and Omega used "foreign objects including a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, a broom with bristles wrapped in barbed wire, and a tool similar to an ice pick." It also states Moxley "used the baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire to strike" Omega three times across his back and cause lacerations from which Omega bled. It also details how Omega used the broom to cause Moxley to bleed from his head, shoulder and back.
The Commission alleges that AEW violated multiple regulations, including the Conduct of Wrestling Contest and Responsibility of Promoter. AEW agreed to pay a civil penalty to the Commission in the amount of $10,000 within 30 days of the order.
It was also noted that while the Commission acknowledges that AEW took precautions to reduce the potential for injury to both competitors by using materials to simulate injury and merely give the appearance of bleeding, blood was still introduced into the ring in other instances during the match, through deliberate and repeated actions of the two wrestlers, as scripted by AEW.

State Scandal Audit Says DiBiase Family Was Paid For Work Not Performed, Unreasonable Travel Costs
Findings were released this week from an audit into the Mississippi Department of Human Services after several people were arrested back in early February, including former WWE talent Brett DiBiase. The scandal was described as one of the largest embezzlement scandals ever in the state, and had direct connections to the DiBiase family.
As noted back in February at this link and this link, DiBiase was among those indicted in the scandal, along with the former director of the Mississippi welfare agency others. It was alleged that Brett was given money to go to a drug treatment facility in Malibu, and that those funds were earmarked for welfare programs in the state. Brett was allegedly given the money as payment for classes that he didn't reach on drug abuse. It was later reported that there was a DiBiase family connection as Heart of David Ministries, the non-profit religious organization ran by WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase Sr., reportedly received more than $2.1 million in welfare from the state over a few years, after Brett had been working for the state. This came after the organization received just $5,000 in grants in 2013, but were paid $271,000 in welfare money, during the same year that Brett was hired to work in the Mississippi Department of Human Services as a senior official. Ted's organization received as much as $900,000 one year.
Ted's Heart of David Ministries spent the full amount it received, which was $2,126,739, from May 2017 through earlier this budget year. Ted was paid $84,517 as president of the organization. In a 2018 contract, Heart of David had pledged to "establish a network of partnerships, services and resources throughout Mississippi communities for faith-based and self activities" but there was no evidence on how all of the money was actually used. While the organization was receiving funds from the state, 98% of welfare requests were being turned down by Mississippi. Heart of David is no longer receiving any funds from the state of Mississippi. In another family connection, it was revealed that the Mississippi Community Education Center paid Bret's brother, former WWE Superstar Ted DiBiase Jr., to provide training to human services employees in late 2018 and early 2019. A woman who answered the door at the home of Ted Jr. in Clinton, MS declined to comment, but did say that the Clarion Ledger, the original newspaper to break the scandal, has done "fictitious" reporting in the past.
The findings report, seen below, noted that the Mississippi Community Education Center (MCEC) and the Family Resource Center of North Mississippi (FRC), two non-profit groups, paid "large sums" to Ted Sr., Ted Jr., and Brett for work that they did not do, for unreasonable travel costs or with little proof that the programs helped the needy.
"MCEC and FRC paid large sums to wrestlers Ted Dibiase, Ted Dibiase, Jr., and Brett Dibiase for work that was not performed, for unreasonable travel costs, or with little proof the programs helped the needy," the report says.
The findings report notes that the audit has been forward to the federal government, who will decide the consequences for the Mississippi Department of Human Services (DHS). Those consequences could include cuts to future grants from the federal government, or penalties. The criminal investigation into the scandal by the Auditor's office and the federal government continues.
"This audit should be a wake-up call to everyone in government. The old way of doing things, where you do whatever your boss or a person who controls a lot of money tells you to do, or you ignore the law around how to spend money because you think no one is looking—those days are over," said State Auditor Shad White.
Below is the full press release on the findings of the investigation that was released this week:
Audit of DHS Reveals Millions Wasted
Auditor's Office Questions Over $90 Million in Spending of Welfare Grants and Other Funds
JACKSON – Millions of dollars of grants from the Mississippi Department of Human Services (DHS) were misspent, converted to personal use, spent on family members and friends of staffers and grantees, or wasted according to an audit released today by State Auditor Shad White.
"This completed audit of DHS for the previous year shows the most egregious misspending my staff have seen in their careers at the Office of the State Auditor," said White. "When you read this one-hundred-plus page audit, you will see that, if there was a way to misspend money, it seems DHS leadership or their grantees thought of it and tried it."
The audit of DHS came as a part of the Office of the State Auditor's yearly Single Audit of federal money flowing through state agencies.
The audit of DHS showed massive sums were funneled to grantees like the Mississippi Community Education Center (MCEC) and the Family Resource Center of North Mississippi (FRC), two non-profits. Those grantees were given over $98 million in DHS grants over the last three years, mostly from the program Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
The audit's formal finding is that over $94 million of that grant money has been "questioned," meaning auditors either saw clear misspending or could not verify the money had been lawfully spent. Examples of questioned spending included:
* MCEC and FRC used TANF money to hire lobbyists with TANF money, which is unallowable, often with no paperwork describing the work the lobbyists were hired to do.
* MCEC awarded contracts to and hired former DHS Director John Davis's family members, sometimes paying them up front in lump sums.
* MCEC and FRC paid large sums to wrestlers Ted Dibiase, Ted Dibiase, Jr., and Brett Dibiase for work that was not performed, for unreasonable travel costs, or with little proof the programs helped the needy.
* MCEC and FRC used TANF money to fund religious concerts with no proof they benefitted the needy.
* MCEC made multiple donations with TANF money—like donations to the American Heart Association, the Mississippi Highway Patrol, booster clubs, pageants, universities—and provided no proof the donations were used to help the needy. FRC also made unallowable donations.
Among the grantees, MCEC was particularly dependent on TANF funding and engaged in extensive misspending. From 2016 to 2019, MCEC was given over $60 million in grants from DHS, while raising just under $1.6 million from other sources. Examples of questioned spending at MCEC included:
* MCEC paid Victory Sports Foundation TANF money for fitness programs for Mississippi legislators and other elected officials/staffers at no charge.
* MCEC purchased three vehicles with grant funds, each for over $50,000, for Nancy New (Director of MCEC), Zach New, and Jess New. MCEC also paid salaries, cell phone bills, and other costs for a variety of members of the New family.
* MCEC made many unallowable sports-related expenditures—like sponsoring a college baseball tournament—for services that could not be proven to benefit the needy. Some sports-related spending was for services that were not actually performed.
* MCEC transferred over $6 million to a private school and organization owned by Nancy New and also purchased curricula and supplies with TANF funds for the school.
* MCEC paid a speeding ticket for Nancy New with TANF funds.
* MCEC issued a $3,000 check to the bookkeeper of MCEC with a handwritten note saying the payment was actually for John Davis.
* MCEC paid a variety of consultants, including Jess New, for no clear deliverables or where there was no proof the spending met TANF requirements.
* Zach New took a loan out against his MCEC retirement plan and repaid the loan with TANF money.
* MCEC paid for extensive unallowable advertising, like using TANF money to advertise at the NCAA basketball tournament and a college football bowl game. TANF money was also used to purchase tickets to a college football game.
* MCEC paid excessive rent well above market value to a holding company owned by Zach and Nancy New. Sometimes the rent paid for spaces that were not used for TANF-related purposes.
The unallowable spending was achieved through a variety improper activities, like: DHS Director Davis limiting monitoring of subgrantees; forged documents; subgrantees providing summaries of expenditures that did not match actual expenditures; a limited or nonexistent RFP process for selecting subgrantees; fraudulent accounting entries that misstate actual payees; a failure by DHS staff to report obviously improper transactions to law enforcement; and others.
Auditors have recommended current DHS leadership take steps to remedy these problems. "DHS staff should immediately move to seize any property that was purchased by grantees with taxpayer money, as that property belongs to the taxpayers," said White. "That property does not belong to the Auditor's office, so we cannot do this for them, but it should be marked as DHS property, and DHS should use their legal authority and move quickly to seize it."
The audit also suggested DHS conduct an internal investigation into current and former DHS staff who may have played a role in the fraud.
"Thank you to our team of professional auditors for their incredible work," said White. "The doggedness and attention to detail shown by Stephanie Palmertree, Michael Torres, Jason Ashley, and their team of CPAs led to this critical report. Their work is the first step to restoring public trust in DHS."
The Single Audit report is now forwarded to the federal government, who will determine the consequences for DHS. Those consequences could include cuts to future grants from the federal government or penalties.
While this Single Audit report concluded the Auditor's office's audit of DHS, the criminal investigation of this matter by the Auditor's office and federal authorities continues. "This audit should be a wake-up call to everyone in government. The old way of doing things, where you do whatever your boss or a person who controls a lot of money tells you to do, or you ignore the law around how to spend money because you think no one is looking—those days are over," said White.
As noted back in February at this link and this link, DiBiase was among those indicted in the scandal, along with the former director of the Mississippi welfare agency others. It was alleged that Brett was given money to go to a drug treatment facility in Malibu, and that those funds were earmarked for welfare programs in the state. Brett was allegedly given the money as payment for classes that he didn't reach on drug abuse. It was later reported that there was a DiBiase family connection as Heart of David Ministries, the non-profit religious organization ran by WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase Sr., reportedly received more than $2.1 million in welfare from the state over a few years, after Brett had been working for the state. This came after the organization received just $5,000 in grants in 2013, but were paid $271,000 in welfare money, during the same year that Brett was hired to work in the Mississippi Department of Human Services as a senior official. Ted's organization received as much as $900,000 one year.
Ted's Heart of David Ministries spent the full amount it received, which was $2,126,739, from May 2017 through earlier this budget year. Ted was paid $84,517 as president of the organization. In a 2018 contract, Heart of David had pledged to "establish a network of partnerships, services and resources throughout Mississippi communities for faith-based and self activities" but there was no evidence on how all of the money was actually used. While the organization was receiving funds from the state, 98% of welfare requests were being turned down by Mississippi. Heart of David is no longer receiving any funds from the state of Mississippi. In another family connection, it was revealed that the Mississippi Community Education Center paid Bret's brother, former WWE Superstar Ted DiBiase Jr., to provide training to human services employees in late 2018 and early 2019. A woman who answered the door at the home of Ted Jr. in Clinton, MS declined to comment, but did say that the Clarion Ledger, the original newspaper to break the scandal, has done "fictitious" reporting in the past.
The findings report, seen below, noted that the Mississippi Community Education Center (MCEC) and the Family Resource Center of North Mississippi (FRC), two non-profit groups, paid "large sums" to Ted Sr., Ted Jr., and Brett for work that they did not do, for unreasonable travel costs or with little proof that the programs helped the needy.
"MCEC and FRC paid large sums to wrestlers Ted Dibiase, Ted Dibiase, Jr., and Brett Dibiase for work that was not performed, for unreasonable travel costs, or with little proof the programs helped the needy," the report says.
The findings report notes that the audit has been forward to the federal government, who will decide the consequences for the Mississippi Department of Human Services (DHS). Those consequences could include cuts to future grants from the federal government, or penalties. The criminal investigation into the scandal by the Auditor's office and the federal government continues.
"This audit should be a wake-up call to everyone in government. The old way of doing things, where you do whatever your boss or a person who controls a lot of money tells you to do, or you ignore the law around how to spend money because you think no one is looking—those days are over," said State Auditor Shad White.
Below is the full press release on the findings of the investigation that was released this week:
Audit of DHS Reveals Millions Wasted
Auditor's Office Questions Over $90 Million in Spending of Welfare Grants and Other Funds
JACKSON – Millions of dollars of grants from the Mississippi Department of Human Services (DHS) were misspent, converted to personal use, spent on family members and friends of staffers and grantees, or wasted according to an audit released today by State Auditor Shad White.
"This completed audit of DHS for the previous year shows the most egregious misspending my staff have seen in their careers at the Office of the State Auditor," said White. "When you read this one-hundred-plus page audit, you will see that, if there was a way to misspend money, it seems DHS leadership or their grantees thought of it and tried it."
The audit of DHS came as a part of the Office of the State Auditor's yearly Single Audit of federal money flowing through state agencies.
The audit of DHS showed massive sums were funneled to grantees like the Mississippi Community Education Center (MCEC) and the Family Resource Center of North Mississippi (FRC), two non-profits. Those grantees were given over $98 million in DHS grants over the last three years, mostly from the program Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
The audit's formal finding is that over $94 million of that grant money has been "questioned," meaning auditors either saw clear misspending or could not verify the money had been lawfully spent. Examples of questioned spending included:

* MCEC and FRC paid large sums to wrestlers Ted Dibiase, Ted Dibiase, Jr., and Brett Dibiase for work that was not performed, for unreasonable travel costs, or with little proof the programs helped the needy.

* MCEC made multiple donations with TANF money—like donations to the American Heart Association, the Mississippi Highway Patrol, booster clubs, pageants, universities—and provided no proof the donations were used to help the needy. FRC also made unallowable donations.

* MCEC issued a $3,000 check to the bookkeeper of MCEC with a handwritten note saying the payment was actually for John Davis.
* MCEC paid a variety of consultants, including Jess New, for no clear deliverables or where there was no proof the spending met TANF requirements.
* Zach New took a loan out against his MCEC retirement plan and repaid the loan with TANF money.

Hugo Savinovich Claims WWE's Lack Of Creativity Has Compounded Their Recent Problems
Commentator Hugo Savinovich worked for WWE from 1994 to 2011 and he currently works for AAA. He shared his thoughts on WWE continuing on with shows during the coronavirus pandemic when he joined The Wrestling Inc Daily podcast.
"I reported on Lucha Libre Online that with all of the audience being at home, you have some of the worst ratings from SmackDown to Raw," said Savinovich. "Horrendous. So, it tells you that, it's not that they don't like WWE, it's that the fans are fed up with the creative ideas. That also goes into NXT and AEW because regardless of who wins the Wednesday Night War, the two ratings combined don't make for one good rating. There's a big issue about getting it done right to hook the fans.
"Regardless if you are ROH, WWE, AEW, Impact, New Japan, you have to get the fans back and you've got to respect them. I think that's the problem – with Vince it's easy to put the blame on him because he's the No. 1 guy. But all of us should take responsibility and improve them.
"I was just talking to Konnan and my deal would be to create fresh stories. We're gonna be working to create a flamboyant character for AAA but we have to be careful not to piss off the fans like Lashley, Lana and that Rusev story."
Savinovich said a lot of great talent was wasted in the Lana - Lashley - Rusev story. While he is a fan of everyone involved, he said the storyline was "horrible."
"[WWE] wanna stick with stories that the fans don't like and stories that have potential, they're doing microwave airing where foods gotta be done in 30 seconds… Now with no fans at the arena, it shows more the lack of creative that you have or don't have," stated Savinovich.
He then talked about the wrestling business in Japan which focuses more on live gate revenue as opposed to TV revenue. That makes it much different than the business model that WWE operates under.
"Wrestling is not as huge as it was in Japan so they don't have that incentive that Vince has. He has a contract that Linda got him that permission to make wrestling something you need," Savinovich said of Florida deeming WWE essential business during the pandemic.
"They would probably had to forfeit $200 million on the violation of the contract with FOX. I don't know about the one with NBC but that's serious money. So, for him, he has to make that money. Then the boys and girls make a lot of money. So, they can say they're not being forced to go but there's money and the company is running. You see Roman Reigns is not around and that's huge. You don't even see his name mentioned."
Reigns pulled out of WrestleMania due to being immunocompromised but the event still took place, much to Savinovich's chagrin. He says it should not have taken place especially when it was revealed afterwards that a WWE employee tested positive for COVID-19.
"You can never do WrestleMania without fans even though I loved the picture-movie with Undertaker. I hated the one with Cena and The Fiend. But I loved Edge and Orton. So, it was a mixed bag and the guys and girls did a fantastic job," stated Savinovich.
"But WrestleMania should have been held for after SummerSlam. If you can postpone the Olympics, then you can postpone WrestleMania. I don't think it was a good call as WrestleMania has 90,000 fans and has the culture of getting together in a building with Japanese, Latinos, Australians – every walk of life. That's the spirit of WrestleMania and we didn't get that."
Wrestling promotions, like many other companies, are trying to strike the balance between staying safe and making money. Savinovich shared his thoughts on some promotions still going on at this time.
"We need the entertainment so if they keep the place safe, I could see a way where you need to have this. Wrestling is huge and our guys and girls have to make money. I haven't worked for close to two months and I only get paid when I produce, do creative or do consulting for wrestling companies. So, when I don't work, I don't get paid. It's a very delicate situation," said Savinovich.
"You've got to take care of talent and you can't close the world. I live in New York and people have been dying here. It's been horrible and I take precaution, but if we just stay at home then people are gonna be unemployed and small businesses will disappear. I don't know if you'd have money then to go to an actual live event in wrestling because you'd be unemployed and out of work."

The Revolt On Their Last Meeting With Vince McMahon, What Kind Of Money WWE Offered, Leaked Designs
AEW star Chris Jericho interviewed The Revolt's Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood (formerly known as Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson of The Revival in WWE) for the latest episode of his "Talk Is Jericho" podcast
They discussed their final meeting with Vince McMahon. Cash said it was difficult to meet with Vince due to the transition to FOX, but one day they were working on putting together a match in the ring, when they were called to Vince's office for a meeting. Cash said the designs recently leaked (seen below) were "100% real" and were presented by Vince himself. Dax said that most of the time "the boys" are kayfabed about everything, and was sure that whoever had leaked the photos were a part of the creative team. Cash said he laughed out loud when he saw the designs in front of everyone at the meeting with Vince. Bruce Prichard was also there.
Regarding the potential new gimmicks, it was explained to them that this would be a way to showcase a different side to The Revival, showcasing their charisma. Cash said he told them that these "were not good" but he would do the characters until their contracts expired. Cash said this was on a Friday, and by the following Wednesday they were told that they were being taken off the road.
Cash also said the money they were being offered to re-sign was higher than the $750,000 that was being reported. Regarding the character motivations behind the potential new gimmicks, Cash said they would be doing it out of spite as the only way they would get TV time was if they were a comedy act, which in real life they thought this was true as well. Dax said he didn't know if Vince really thought it was the best idea in the world or just a way to embarrass them on their way out of the company. Dax called Vince the "greatest worker of them all."

Indie Wrestler Tim McNeany Puts Joey Ryan In His Place.. And Cornette Talks About It
Here's the screen shot of it, right here.
For the record, Tim McNeany has been well known throughout the New England Indie scene since the 90's. Appearing on shows run by Sylvano Sousa, WWA New England ran by former WWF referee Fred Sparta, and other companies. So it's funnier than hell that he came on put Jeoy Ryan in his place.
Joey Ryan, got 'checked' by Tim McNeany, LMAO!
Here's where you can see this. https://twitter.com/McneanyTim/status/1255121607397453825
Needless to say that now that Joey Ryan got punked? he suddenly has no balls to come on his Twitter and admit he was wrong.. IIMMAAGGIINNEE, THAT, ROFLMAO!
