INFORMATION ON AEW REPLICA BELTS (Even Though You Can Get Them Much Cheaper On eBay)
There's AEW's official announcement for THEIR replica title belt.
But why pay as much as almost $700 when one can simply go onto eBay and find one for much cheaper than what AEW is trying to 'scam the marks' for?
Really, only an idiot would spend that much when they know, they can get it cheaper, elsewhere.
And you want proof? Sure, be glad to give to give it to you.
One simple search on eBay garnered plenty of results. Here's acouple examples.
There's this one.
Then there's this one,

ACH Joins Lio Rush In the "I'm Retiring From Wrestling, Again" Department.
Veteran pro wrestler ACH (Albert Hardie Jr., fka Jordan Myles in WWE NXT) has announced his retirement from the sport.
ACH took to Instagram today and posted a black square, with a statement on his retirement.
“No need for the dramatic or emotional word play. As of today I will officially step away from professional wrestling. Thank you all for the support and love,” he wrote.
ACH began wrestling in February 2007, and has worked for several promotions, including WWE, ROH, Impact Wrestling, NJPW, and AAA, among others. He signed with WWE in February 2019 to work the NXT brand, as Jordan Myles, and went on to win the NXT Breakout Tournament that same year. He had a controversial exit from the company after announcing that he quit in November, and was officially released on November 21, 2019. Since then he has worked for MLW, GCW, and NJPW.
ACH held numerous titles on the indies during his career. He is a one-time former EVOLVE Tag Team Champion, with Ethan Page, and held the Ironman Heavymetalweight Title for DDT Pro Wrestling in Japan.
ACH said he was quitting the business back in December 2019, shortly after his WWE departure, but he has continued to wrestle since then. He later expressed remorse over how he handled his WWE exit.
THIS, is how he treated his fans back in 2019 when he "retired" (cough cough) the first time.
Funny how nobody wants to remember that. :)

FEDERACION WRESTLING EVENT RESCHEDULED AFTER ANDRADE, OTHERS PULL OUT
Federacion Wrestling has rescheduled their pay-per-view event after Andrade el Idolo, Rush, and the rest of La Faccion Ingobernable pulled out of the show.
The promotion sent out a press release confirming the show will no longer take place on June 19, providing information on refunds. They later released another statement saying that the show has been rescheduled due to logistical issues.
Andrade was the first to pull from the event, then Rush and the rest of La Faccion de Ingobernable pulled out soon after. Rush cited logistical problems as the reason he was pulling from the event. Andrade said that he “did not reach a good agreement” with the company.
The main event for the show was to feature Andrade, Bestia del Ring, Rush, and a mystery partner against The Briscoe Brothers, Matt Taven, and PJ Black. Elsewhere on the card, Dragon Lee was scheduled to team with Bandido against Fenix, and Penta El Zero M. Kenny King was scheduled to compete in the Torneo Copa Federacion tournament. Red Velvet and Tay Conti of AEW were also scheduled to be on the card.
PPV seller coinacess has updated their note, says they quit working with Federacion before the luchadors did, notes wording on Federacion's site saying no refunds, is clearly freaking out.
Andrade’s time with Federacion Wrestling has ended before it could even begin. In a tweet early Monday evening, the recent AEW signee announced he was pulling out of Federacion’s debut event, being held this Saturday in Mexico City.
“For all the people of Mexico City I want to inform you that this Saturday, June 19, I WILL NOT APPEAR at said event,” Andrade tweeted in Spanish. “A good arrangement was not reached with this new company. I hope to see you soon and I wish you a good start to the week.”
Only minutes after Andrade’s tweet, Ring of Honor Champion Rush announced on Twitter that he, along with Los Faccion Ingobernables members Bestia del Ring, Dragon Lee and Kenny King were also pulling out of the show. Rush noted the reason was “logistical issues.”.
An hour later Lee would take to Twitter to confirm he also would be missing the event. He didn’t elaborate any further.
“We inform you that the Los Faccion Ingobernables will not participate in the event,” Lee tweeted in Spanish. “We wish you every success.”
Andrade, Bestia and Rush were scheduled to main event Saturday’s show against ROH stars Matt Taven, PJ Black and the Briscoe Brothers. Other matches scheduled are AEW stars Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix taking on ROH’s Bandido and a partner (originally scheduled to be Lee), a twenty man battle royal ROH star Vinny Marseliga and AEW’s Tay Conti making her Mexico debut in a six women’s tag match.
There is no word on the status of other ROH talent on this show. Likewise Fenix’ status was also up in the air, as he has been recovering from an injury over the last several weeks. The involvement of ROH talent with Federacion Wrestling’s debut was largely considered the catalyst to the demise of ROH’s working relationship with CMLL. After Taven was announced for the show, CMLL released a statement officially cutting ties with ROH after five years.
Andrade’s only appearance for Federacion Wrestling was at their inaugural press conference, where he announced his ties with the promotion. His Federacion was to be his third match since leaving WWE in the spring, following two tag matches in California that pitted him against lucha legend El Hijo del Santo. Andrade’s next scheduled appearance will be this Friday on AEW Dynamite, where he will have a special sit down interview with Jim Ross.

Vince Russo (Of All People) Covers The Wild Bill Irwin Drunken Interview Incident (That I, But No other Wrestling Writer Had the Guts To Cover)
That's right. Vince Russo (who would've thought ) covered the recent incident where Wild Bill Irwin was drunk on an interview.
As you see by the pic above, I.. Covered this when it first came out. I said when I wrote it that NO OTHER "Major" wrestling writer or journalist would have the balls to cover this story. The link to my story on this is here. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/06/wild-bill-irwin-drunk-on-recent.html
And wouldn't you know? I was right. :)
Dave Meltzer didn't cover it, PWInsider played chicken shit when it came to covering it, and WrestlingInc didn't either which lead to their "Social Media Manager" getting outright put in his place, and 'checked' by me when he tried to brace me about it.
The link to THAT story is here. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/06/social-media-manager-at-wrestlinginc.html
Of course you know, if Tammy Sytch gets in trouble again, all these 'major journalists' will be ALL OVER THAT.
They have the balls to cover that but when it comes to a story that Mike Johnson or Meltzer didn't 'break' first? A story that's 100% true that I provided absolute proof over? NNAAA, they just started doing the chicken dance because they ALL. were too fucking chicken shit, to cover the story like i did. Or for some reason too scared to acknowledge it because then? They'd have to acknowledge that I, broke the story, and not them.
It's not like I'm lying, I provided all the proof right here in this article. Not my fault they got a sudden case of lackofballs
So of 'ALL THE PEOPLE' within the wrestling world you never would've thought would even talk about it? Vince Russo did.
How does it feel Dave Meltzer? How does it Feel Mike Johnson? Dave Scherer? Or even the 'fine folks' over at WrestlingInc? How does it feel to know that all of you 'big time writers' not only got trumped by me, but NOW.. VINCE RUSSO did (in a way) what all of you had no guts to do?
Can you 'feel the burn' on that? You know they are. But hey.. They have 'more important stories' to cover, don't you know.
Like this one.
And lord knows we can't for get THIS, 'earth shattering' event that HAD to be covered and be 'more important'.
Nice to see places like WrestlingInc have their 'priorities' in order, LMAO!
So here's Vince Russo, the guy many many people hate and slam every chance they get.. DOING, what Meltzer, Scherer, Johnson and WrestlingInc wouldn't do.
That's right. Vince Russo did what the others I named above didn't have the balls to do.. Let THAT, sink in.

Dave Scherer (PWInsider) Tries To Insult Me On A Story I Wrote, Then Runs Away.
Dave Scherer, Mike Johnson's partner at PWInsider emailed me a little after 9:30 this morning on the link I sent to him, about how Mike Johnson (PWInsider) and WrestlInc know they got a story wrong but don't have the balls to admit they got it wrong.
Take note I, and several others sent Johnson Links to the original story, along with the follow up I did where I called Johnson to provide proof that HIS Story was correct, and how Braun Strowman shooting Mike's story down was wrong.
Here's the proof that Strowman shot down Mike's story.
The link to the original story is here https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/06/pwinsider-wrestlinginc-wrestling.html
And the follow up where I called Johnson out to prove it, is here https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/06/pwinsider-knows-they-got-it-wrong-but.html
Needless to say, Johnson STILL hasn't provided proof in any way, shape or form.
Not only does THAT validate everything I wrote. The fact that Dave Scherer came at me and couldn't stay on the topic of what I wrote, further validates everything I wrote.
So here's the actual email convo that went back and forth between Dave and I. I was hoping that maybe maybe, JUST MAYBE he would try to defend Johnson's false story or attempt to defend PWInsider as a whole. But NOPE, he was too lazy to even attempt that. And tried to bring up something irrelevant from my past (which failed) AND, when I called him out to stay on the topic I emailed him about, he couldn't even do that, LOL!

LuFisto On Feeling That AEW Segments Are Redundant, Why WWE Might Not Sign Her
Independent wrestling star LuFisto joined the It’s Our House Podcast to talk some pro wrestling. LuFisto talked a bit about AEW, and offered some criticism for the promotion.
“There’s got to be a promo at the beginning of the match that’s going to be cut off, there’s going to be a match and then there’s something else after to build to something. Why is this every single match?” LuFisto asked. “Every match there’s a promo that’s being cut by someone else, or there’s an after burn where somebody comes out and attacks. It’s just the same thing, there’s no flow. There’s so many ways to set up a match, you can start within a match that’s just a simple competition. One of the people gets really pissed and cheats then he gets beat and then he want more of this guy cause you know he didn’t respect me. Easy. I think people sometimes are trying to do it too complicated. The possibilities are endless.”
LuFisto, who made waves last year for calling out the CZW promotion, also talked about Ring of Honor and their new women’s division, run by Maria Kanellis. She revealed she was a fan of ROH’s new product and believes she could be an asset for the promotion in and out of the ring.
“Maybe,” LuFisto said when asked if she’d be interested in joining the promotion. “I know what she said about the borders is what it comes down to. I’m a Canadian, and, you know, international talents right now, it’s a long process. Am I looking into my visa right now, the answer is yes. No, I didn’t sign a contract with anybody. But, I mean, just the fact that that Mrs. Kanellis sees me as an asset to Ring of Honor, and everybody knows I’m a big fan, especially of the new product. I hear how she and Mike Bennett are great people to be around and I keep reading the locker room is changing, and everything is getting better there
“And I have a lot of people that I know there like Chris Dickinson and Tony Deppen. I love Jonathan Gresham. It’s definitely the the place that I would like to be because I think I could be an asset, both as an in ring performer and also right hand woman, to help with anything else, definitely. I am a graphic designer. I design gear, I can be an agent, I can be anything. When I’m out wrestling I love helping the other people get their matches together I just love, love, love it.”
The topic later turned to CTE and specifically Chris Benoit. LuFisto talked about seeing a TV show featuring Benoit’s father that delved into the effect CTE had on Benoit. The bottom line for LuFisto is wrestlers need to take care of themselves, both in regards to CTE and other injuries.
“Yeah, not only with the CTE but you do get, you know, you do get the aches and pains and whatever that can lead to mental illness, suicide thoughts,” LuFisto said “Everything is dark, you get angry real fast, like ‘oh my god, you know, Chris Benoit.’ There was an actual show, and I don’t know if it aired anywhere else but in Canada because he was from here. They did a whole six sports show where his father was talking and Chris Nowinsky, who was a specialist when it comes to it. They said that Chris Benoit his brain was like a 75 year old man with heavy dementia. That’s how bad he was, he didn’t know what the hell, he probably didn’t know where the hell he was. Like it was that bad so it’s it’s serious, you know, take care of yourselves.
Recently LuFisto was mentioned as a possible coach for a hypothetical all women’s show in WWE by wrestling legend Mick Foley. She praised Foley for his kind words, but stopped short of expressing interest in doing something with WWE, mainly because she’s not sure they’d go all the way with an all women’s show.
“I believe the word legend is thrown out there a lot,” LuFisto said. “When somebody says it about me, I’m like, man, I don’t know like legend is such a big word but Mick is one. And he’s such a great man, He’s such a good, nice human being. So the fact he believes that I should be one of the people in charge, that means the world, he’s an idol to me. That he thinks so highly of me. It means the world.
“Would I be interested? I don’t know with WWE. I know there’s people who don’t like me at all. I laugh about it instead of crying because several people there don’t like me that I didn’t do anything to. I don’t even know if they would, because when we’re talking about a brand it’s, here’s the way I see it. There’s divisions but when you’re talking about the brand, it means you have your own show, with only women, and it’s like SmackDown, but women. It’s different, it’s not a division, it’s the whole show. A brand that’s, like, you have the NXT brand, you got the WWE brand and you would have women’s something. Are they gonna go there, do they believe they can make that much money? They might do it just to say we’re the first, that we did it. I saw people when it was mentioned that they were like ‘yeah, but the knockouts had shows and Shimmer, yes Shimmer definitely, I want to give credit to the first one Shimmer. But they were not something on regular TV, mainstream TV cable. That’s where the difference is. ‘Yeah well, we put a full women’s brand on cable TV, not just the show, not just the pay per view a full brand with a weekly TV show’ and that’s where I don’t know if they would.

Wrestlinginc AND PWInsider KNOW They Got It Wrong But Instead Of Admitting it, They Do, THIS (Updated 6-16-14)
Update 6-15-24
Added a new up to date link to the 'proof'.
In a story I did yesterday where I showed how PWInsider, WrestlingInc and The Wrestling Observer got it wrong on Braun Strowman allegedly asking "Five Figures" for indie bookings.
The link to that story, that has all the proof is right here. https://wrestlingpastandpresent.blogspot.com/2021/06/pwinsider-knows-they-got-it-wrong-but.html
The story noted that EVERY Wrestling news site used Mike Johnson from PWInsider as the 'source' for their story. If you google the story there's almost three pages of sites and they ALL, quote Johnson's name as the source. But as we all know, Johnson was proven to be wrong by, Strowman himself.
W. Morrissey CROSSES THE LINE (Not In This Match) vs Willie Mack! | IMPACT! Highlights June 10, 2021
W. Morrissey to me looks like Andrew Martin's (Test) brother but everyone knows he was Big Cass in the WWE.
So, in a "No DQ" match we have just a chain and a chair involved? Makes me want to go watch some old school bunkhouse matches or "Lights Out" matches from the past where THOSE MATCHES came off better than, this.
Since Willie Mack is one of those guys where with me you either get over right away, or you never will.. Willie Mack never will and that feeling goes back to when he was working for Championship Wrestling From Hollywood. So I was hoping for a piledriver on the chair maybe? A Dick Murdoch style brain buster on the chair, perhaps?
Then I had to remind myself that this, is Impact Wrestling. And what i was hoping for? I was hoping for too much.
So the title of this clip I'm watching is titled "W. Morrissey CROSSES THE LINE vs Willie Mack!". Well now that I watched this whole clip, from start to finish.. When is he actually going to 'cross the line'?
Because it sure the FUCK, didn't happen here.
Rich Swann comes in after the match where Morrissey set a chair on Mack's face in a corner, his save didn't last as Morrissey shut him down and put him down for good AS, the 'crack security crew' stood there and watched (pretty much).
I know this was to push Morrissey vs Swann this Saturday but it did nothing for me in terms of WHY, I would want to see this match. I'd rather watch my toilet flush than watch that match.
Kojima STANDS TALL,(Whoopie) Violent By Design On The Run (Not really) | IMPACT! Highlights June 10, 2021
Eddie Edwards' matchup with Joe Doering was "eeehhh" at best. Maybe it's the way Impact presents their wrestlers because most of them just don't get over with me, and the lazy booking Scotty D'Amore (before Don Callis and since I'm sure) hasn't given me any "MMPPHH' to get emotionally enticed into the whole mens roster.
This is no different.
Eddie Edwards almost the same kinds of moves half a dozen other members of the Impact Roster does. What does he do that stands out from the others?
Nothing.
And Joe Doering looks like a poor man's JBL when JBL was doing the cowboiy gimmick in All Japan Pro Wrestling and his early days in WWE. Just what you always wanted. Josh Alexander being a bargain basement Kurt Angle and Joe Doering being a flea market version of JBL. (HUGE yawn). All Joe needs is to add a lame version of the Clothesline From Hell and he'll have it down pat.
Needless to say this had me wanting to hit fast forward, really fast. That's how "exciting" and how much of an "Impact" these two were having on Impact Wrestling.
Satoshi Kojima comes running in when Deaner trips Edwards causing a DQ and "Boring" By Design enter the ring to attack Edwards.
Watching this has made me sleepy. Hopefully he last match might wake me up.
Doubtful as this IS, Impact wrestling.. Where the only impact most of their product has is "Impacting' my insomnia and curing it.
At least Impact Wrestling (for the most part) is good for 'something'. :)
CHAOS REIGNS (No It Doesn't, They're Lying yet Again) As X-Division Collision Is Boring As Hell | IMPACT! Highlights June 10, 2021
Well it's obvious the guys in this match didn't watch the womens matches at all because here we are, back to the flip flop, gymnastic cheerleading bullshit that has shitty "Selling".
Just when you start to have some hope? Leave it to these four guys, to throw that wee bit of hope for a great show out the window.
Thanks guys (Sarcastic 'thumbs up')
Flip flop, no sell, flip, flop, no sell. Pretty much wash rinse, repeat. God is this boring, as fuck. No psychology, no "telling a story within the match:", just this same ol flippity flop bullshit that has no real rhyme or reason to it.
That "We got to get all our spots in, even though nobody will remember half of them after the match is over" mentality is definitely in play here.
Now before you "Marks" start whining about THIS is how X-Division matches always were? I can be the one that calls bullshit, and I will right now, BULLSHIT!
Samoa Joe was X- Division champion at least three times, you ever see HIM, do this flip flop gymnastic routine in them kind of matches? Nope. Abyss was an X-Division champion and same question.. You see him do this acrobatic crap? No siree.. Mike Bennet? NNAAA, no way. And oh yeah, Bobby Lashley.. When have you seen him do flip flop shit when he had the title? Um, never. SO, I call bullshit and am right again.
Pretty sad that a Ricky Steamboat vs Brian Nobbs match from the NAWA back in 1990 got over better with me than this shit. BUT, this is the shit Impact thinks is "good" so fans of this who know no better think, it's "good" when it really isn't.
Tasha Steelz ON FIRE as She Outshines Most of the male Roster Heading Into Against All Odds! | IMPACT! Highlights June 10, 2021
Every week I say it but every week? it's true. Tasha Steele "sells" better than the whole male roster of Impact (and AEW for that matter as well) But again that's the difference between someone who has had, the proper training? And most of the male roster who prove week in and week out, they they haven't been trained correctly.
This was as solid as the Rosemary/ Havok match. Fire and Flav have slowly grown on me as their work in the ring as I've said, trumps the male roster with ease.
The run in after the match by Rosemary and Havok was actually really decent as well. No complaints.
Pretty sad when the womens matches and angles outshine anything the men do, makes you go, HHMMM.
Again, why is that the women in Impact work so much better than the men? Why is it nobody can give me an answer? Why is it the bookers don't make the males watch the women matches so that way they can 'learn' something?
Guess that could be filed under "Unsolved Mysteries".
Rosemary & Havok GO TO WAR! (And "Sell" Moves better Than The Entire Male Roster, DDAAMMNN!) | IMPACT! Highlights June 10, 2021
Well well, what do we have here? Actual "SELLING" by both women? DAMN, why is it some of the women here in Impact "sell" moves better than all the men?
Why is it nobody seems to have an answer for that every time I ask that?
Guess it just shows who's been trained properly, and who hasn't.
Short, solid match and very enjoyable.
Too bad more matches in Impact can't be this enjoyable.
Every member of the male roster, along with everyone on the booking committee should watch this match and take notes. Then they can be reminded what a match with "selling" done correctly looks like.
Tony Khan, Don Callis & Scott D'Amore Make MASSIVE Example Of What "Go Away" Heat Really Looks Like ( IMPACT! Highlights June 10, 2021)
You just knew when you have these three in the ring? it'll be a 'go to' cure for insomnia and guess what. As usual I was correct because had the excitment level of zero. These three should never, be on air personalities because every week, many many fans agree with me that these three? Suck ass and need to stay in the back where they belong.
It starts making you think that Eric Bischoff as an on air personality in WCW was an academy award winning performance compared to this shit, right here. Hell Tod Gordon as an on air "Commissioner" in the old ECW back THEN, blows away anything these three can do now, and that's pretty fucking sad.
Of course the "marks" will be eating this up and beating their chests claiming this shit, was 'Brilliant" (rolls eyes)
Scotty D'Amore saying that Callis is the VP is a lie as everyone knows he quit that position as crappy booker. And before you" marks" start whining about how this was taped, etc etc etc.. You gonna say that nobody in production at Impact Wrestling knows how to edit? Alittle bit of simple editing could've been done but.. OH, I get it.. That would take some actual 'work' to do that, eh? Editing? That makes just way too much sense, why do that when can just be lazy and hope nobody notices.
Yeah, nice try.
What's with Tony Khan's sun glasses? LOL. He trying to cover up bloodshot eyes or something?
AEW And Impact don't have a wellness program, right? That might explain "many things".
Daily's Place is the top wrestling venue in the world? Was Tony Khan actually stupid enough to say that?
Yes, he ssuurree was, LMAO!
Daily's Place is the top wrestling venue in the world, AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!
I bet there's acouple owners of acouple of arenas in Japan that would easily prove you wrong, but nice try Tonyboy, nice try.
God, as bad as Vince Russo was as an on air talent, I'm starting to wish he'd be out here more than these three goofs.
That was indeed a ten minute thirty three second example of "go away' heat at its finest.
Of course those three will never take that hint, no matter how many fans tell them that.

Thunder Rosa Puts Triple H In His Place (He Got "Treated")
As many know Paul Levesque AKA Triple H opened his mouth and inserted his foot earlier today during a media call where when it comes to womens wrestling he claimed "If you want the best, come to NXT" (which was proven false by me in this story, right here
https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/06/paul-michael-levesque-lies-trying-to.html
Thunder Rosa responded to that as you can see in the screen shot above.
Funny how Triple H tries to make dumb claims like this with a straight face but straight facts always put him in 'check' and Thunder Rosa did indeed "Check' Triple H's ass.
What's even worse for Triple H sand shows what a dumb ass he really is, the very woman who 'checked him'? Is ranked number one in the company that's competition FOR, WWE.
Pretty sad that the guy who runs NXT and is the son in law of the owner of the biggest wrestling promotion in the country, got put him his place by a woman who's top ranked in ANOTHER COMPANY
"OOOOO" Feel the burn Pauliepoo, feel the burn. Because you got 'treated".
Like I said in my story on him earlier today, maybe the next time he does a media call he should really think hard about his responses before he makes them. Or maybe have someone else respond for him.
That way he doesn't come out looking like a complete dumb ass, like he did today.
PWInsider, WrestlingInc & Wrestling Observer all, GOT IT WRONG (Again) As Braun Strowman Slaps Down Their reporting (ROFLMAO!)
How's it feel.. How's it feel to know that the THREE MAIN WRESTLING NEW SITES, all got the story wrong? And if you Google the story on Braun allegedly asking these high prices? The listing of wrestling news sites having this story is at least TWO PAGES LONG!
But one site that ISN'T, on that list? THIS SITE, aaahahahahahahaha..
When I first saw that story my gut instinct, which is usually 99% correct, was spot on when I said "Yeah right, bet this is bullshit and I bet all the dumb shits that reported will be shot down on it.
Wouldn't you know who was right, again... In the end (smiles).
Here's the proof they all falsely reported it. Proof is, a mother fucker you know.
Joseph Currier who did it on the Observer's web page.
Here's WrestlingInc reporting it like they thought it was fact.
AND.. Here's ol Mike Johnson, the guy EVERY fucking wrestling news site used as the 'source' for this false story reporting it first. Thus all you dumb fucks went ahead and jumped on it like complete idiots, LOL.
So again I ask, how's it feel know these 'credible' news sites ALL fucked up? Hey WrestlingInc, Currier and Johnson (along with ALL the OTHER news sites that used Johnson as the source for the story and now, look stupid for doing so) How's it feel to look like an ass clown?
And guess how MANY of these "credible" news sites actually came out and ADMITTED they got it wrong?
I'll give you a hint, NOT, a single one of them, Imagine that.
What's the matter? All of you were 'so quick' to post it like it was an 'exclusive' but the moment you find out all of you were full of shit? You're NOT SO QUICK to admit you were wrong?
HHMMMM, funny how their balls shrivel up quickly when they get proven wrong, LMAO!
This isn't the first time this Columnist at WrestlingInc got something wrong. Back in April he got put in his place by me on something else he wrote. Here's the link to that.
https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/04/wrestlinginc-columnist-is-definitely.html
So now that Strowman killed their more rumor than fact story flat, The obvious question now comes. How long will it takes for these 'major league' columnists to gather the balls and openly admit on their web sites that they were wrong?
Something tells me since ALL of them consider correcting themselves, something that's "beneath them". I bet we'll be waiting a very long time..
At least I, have stories that are actually true.. And as much ass the "Marks" of these news sites like to bash THIS SITE? At least WE here at WP&P didn't get this story wrong, and look like dumb shits.
And yes, I had a great time writing this story up, because there's nothing they can do, to dispute it. :)
Mickie James (Nick Aldis's Wife) Producing an NWA Womens show? Gee, Wonder Where They Got THAT Idea From?
So Billy Corgan at the beginning of this weeks "NWA Powerr" program stood with Mickie James, Nick Aldis's wife and announced that she will be producing an all womens NWA show.
Normally this would've been 'big news' BUT.. WHERE have we seen this before? Especially recently where a wrestler in a company's wife gets hired and is producing a womens show, or womens matches?
Oh yeah, that would Be... Maria Kanellis-Bennett over in Ring Of Honor.
Boy, how this idea is SO and TOO "coincidental. Even a blind man can see where Corgan copied the idea from.
Yeah, pretty obvious that Corgan stole ROH's idea, and was literally pretty blatant about it.
Mike Bennet's wife producing ROH Womens matches, and now Nick Aldis's wife doing the very same thing in Corgan's NWA? HHMM. When you can't come up with something original, JUST blatantly rip off what another company is already doing. YEAH, 'that's the ticket'. LOL!
Let's hope Corgan goes on the air and thanks Ring of Honor for having an idea he liked so much, he stole.
it's the least, he can do :)
Paul Michael Levesque Lies Trying To Toe "The Company Line" In Media Call
Paul Michael Levesque, "Triple H" as he's known as on a media call today to promote NXT's "Takeover- In Your House" openly lied and made a claim that can, easily prove him wrong.
And since all the other "big time' wrestling writers were too busy kissing his ass on that call, they most likely missed this claim, OORR.. Won't have the balls to call him out on it like I'm going to.
So since we already KNOW, they're too scared to do it, it'll have to me be once again that does, what the others are too scared to do.
He was asked about whether if any of the NXT women will appear for the NWA women’s only PPV. "He answered by asking haven’t we already done them"?
NO, Pauliepoo. you've NEVER done an NWA Womens show. You've done the Mae Young Classic, BIG DIFFERENCE, dumb ass.
Paul also said this.
He also laughed about Mickie James saying that they want the best women despite contractual status. "Well, that’s why there are contracts. If you want the best, come to NXT".
Here's proof he said it.
Is FMW Coming To America?
Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling Explosion founder Atsushi Onita has declared his intention to hold a show in America by the end of the year.
FMW-E will hold its debut show on July 4 at the Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market in Yokohama. The event is available to purchase via Zaiko for ¥1,000 and sales are currently 60 per cent higher internationally than in Japan. Onita said the biggest difficulty is finding a venue for the show as fire laws vary by state.
