Charlie Haas Gets Punched In The face by a fan at North Texas Fury Fest
Charlie Haas was hit by a fan at last night at SWE Fury's North Texas Fury Fest.
In the video (Link is below) You'll see Haas shove a fan, and right after that? Another fan drops Haas with one punch, square to the face.
I guess that's how fast ol Charlie can get punked, by a fan, LMAO! One punch is all it takes.
After the fan smacked Haas, another wrestler decks the fan. THEN Haas gets to his feet and tries to act like a tough guy but it's too late. Every fan there saw, Charlie got punked, and punked? By a fan.
In the 80's if a fan got over on a wrestler? That wrestler lost his job. Because if a fan can get over as easy as this one did on Haas? Then the wrestler's credibility in the he was working for when it happened would be shot.
Times are different I see. I guess any fan can smack a wrestler and the wrestler still keeps his job, even though fans who see this will see. All it takes is one punch to put him to the floor.
Here's the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qaPd81PeW4
Police Show Up To Outlaw Mudshow Event Presented By Game Changer Wrestling
A GCW Outlaw Mudshow took place last night at the Albany County Fairgrounds in Laramie, Wyoming. The main event featured GCW World Champion Nick Gage vs. Mance Warner in a Bunkhouse Brawl Match.
Things got wild enough during the main event where eight police officers show up to question Warner and Gage for the concession stand brawl that happened during their match, according to Joey Janela.
“So, the cops here thought that Mance/Gage match was real and got too out of control,” Janela said. “There are cops here — all over. This is pretty wild. It’s still real here in Wyoming.”
You can see the video "Jelly" Jenala AKA "The Pasta King" posted here. https://twitter.com/i/status/1406488458328170497
Some may remember that this is the SAME Joey Jenala who got punked, owned and 'checked' by yours truly on Twitter around this same time, last year.
He tried his best to come at me and like everyone else that tries, fails and gets put in their place? He ran like a bitch and hid behind a block, blocking me. Showing that he can go from "Bad Boy" to "Bitch boy" in a matter of seconds.
The link to where I 'checked' Jelly Joey is right here. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-bad-boy-joey-janela-gets-owned-and.html
In The Funny Yet True Department- Jessicka Havok And Sami Callihan Are Engaged
I'm finding this more humorous than it really should be but.. Take a look at them and many people laugh at them standing next to one another.
She's way huge and he, standing next to her looks like a fifteen year old kid.
Hope she doesn't "get on top" if you know what I mean. (smiles
Impact stars Jessicka Havok and Sami Callihan got engaged earlier today. Havok posted a photo of the two together with the following caption:
“So, I just ended a live stream of the Mothman statue at the Mothman museum, just to have Sami on one knee when I turned around. I almost couldn’t believe it. I am so overwhelmed with happiness. I didn’t know how to react, so I started crying. Lol, tears of joy. I don’t know what to say. P.S. I said ‘yes.'”
Today is also Havok’s birthday.
Callihan is scheduled to face Impact World Champion Kenny Omega at Slammiversary on July 17. Which we all know Omega's gonna win because God forbid, Omega actually LOSES a match.
The reality is Omega should've put Rich Swann over but in the worlds of AEW and Impact. That kind of obvious logic doesn't make sense to them.

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.

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.
