Braun Strowman Drops Hints On New Name, Which Company He Is Signing With (No "AEW Marks", He's Not "All Elite", LMAO)
Former WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman has been dropping teases about his future in the pro wrestling business all through the week.
Earlier today, Strowman hinted that he’s bound for Impact Wrestling and will be using the name “Titan” during the next chapter of his career.
Earlier this week, Impact EVP Scott D’Amore said on a Twitch clip that Impact is currently on the road to “Braun For Glory,” indicating that the former WWE Superstar could make his debut at the Bound For Glory pay-per-view in October. Talking on the same stream, D’Amore also teased that Buddy Murphy is bound for Impact.
It's has also been reported that both Strowman and Murphy are headed to Impact.
As noted earlier, Strowman has agreed to wrestle at Qatar Pro Wrestling’s “SuperSlam 3” show, which takes place on February 26, 2022. Strowman will travel to Qatar next month to sign an agreement.
Strowman is presently serving his 90-day non-compete clause with the WWE, and will reportedly become a a free agent on Tuesday, August 31. He was released by WWE earlier this year on June 2.
Could THIS 'Allegedly' Be The "New" NXT Logo? (Let's Hope Not, It looks F*cking Horrible)
Rapper and noted pro wrestling fan Wale may have just revealed the new WWE NXT logo and a snippet of the new NXT theme song.
As you'll see below, Wale posted a video to Twitter today that includes a song with several familiar hip-hop samples. The video also includes a bright color-changing NXT logo.
“‘Keep it true to self!’ @WWENXT,” Wale wrote as the caption.
The video was re-tweeted by Triple H, the official WWE account, and the official NXT account.
It’s been reported that a new, brighter look is coming soon for the NXT brand, with a new logo and a new feel for the weekly TV show. It will be interesting to see if this is a part of the new look. The new look is also supposed to coincide with a new creative directive for the brand.
This has not been confirmed, but a reset for the NXT brand is rumored for either the September 14 episode or the September 21 episode.
Trust me, NOBODY wants to see that lame ass shit become the new logo. It looks like something a five year old made in art class. This must've been another "Nick Khan" idea as only HE, would think THAT logo, is way better than say, THIS ONE.
Here's Wale's little clip.

Conrad's Continuing Saga Of Video Screw Ups Continues With This Latest One (Uploaded Fifteen Minutes Ago)
You would think after me writing about these several times, and even CONTACTING Conrad Thompson (to which he hasn't answered, mind you) that these kind of fuck ups would've been addressed and POSSIBLY corrected.
WELL? Nope, they haven't.
This one here was uploaded FIFTEEN MINUTES AGO and the audio isn't in synch with the video. You can hear Eric respond to Conrad but Conrad's lips are moving, LMAO!
Funny how these thing never happen with Cornette's video clips, but YET, Conrad for some reason has this LONG ATTEREN of continuous fuck ups going.. From the looks of things it's not gonna be corrected, any time soon.
If you want a recap of how this long pattern of constant screwing up has been going, you can go here and see for yourself. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/08/conrad-thompsons-video-screw-ups.html
You can check out this story here where i go over these fuck ups a little more. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/08/hope-conrad-isnt-paying-whoever-is.html
I did contact Conrad regarding this ongoing problem. And for anyone who wants to try and call "Bullshit", I have your bullshit right here with proof.
Maybe someone else should contact Mr. Thompson and see if he'll explain it to you, what he won't explain to me. Or maybe as I've said before, Conrad just doesn't give two shits how unprofessional his video clips look, just as long as they're there I guess is the logic and mentality.
Here's the link to the latest fuck up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vGan800v8Y
As Mr. Thompson continues to not correct the problem you can bet that every time whoever is uploading these keeps fucking up, I'll be writing about it.
This is like watching a bad low budget karate movie from the 80's.
But I guess, this is how, Conrad prefers his video clips.
Pretty sad he has allowed this to go on for so long, and CONTINUES to allow it.
Once again the Dave Meltzer "five stars for fucking up" rating goes to? Conrad Thompson.
Congrats Conrad.. (Sarcastic "thumbs up") Keep doing this 'great job' moron.

GANGREL AEW DYNAMITE APPEARANCE SCRAPPED AFTER WWE ONE UPS THEM WITH EDGE 'BLOODBATH'
On his Fangin N' Bangin podcast, former WWE wrestler Gangrel said he was scheduled to appear on last night's AEW Dynamite in Milwaukee, but it was canceled Monday after Edge's appearance with Seth Rollins on last Friday's WWE SmackDown.
He said AEW reached out for an appearance and were even in the process of putting his entrance together with music and pyro. He was preparing to fly out to Milwaukee for Tuesday and got the call on Monday that they were going in a different direction due to "WWE media stuff."
In a surprise on SmackDown, Edge gave Rollins a blood bath (black liquid designed to imitate blood) ahead of their clash at SummerSlam and even did part of the Brood entrance for that match.
Gangrel said he was both worried about the opportunity falling through and happy for Edge at the same time. He knew once he saw the "tremendously done" entrance Saturday and that "I knew it was the final nail in the coffin."
He didn't say what AEW was bringing him in for, but it's assumed it would have been part of the Christian Cage/Kenny Omega angle given his Brood relationship to Cage.
Gangrel said he called Edge to talk about SmackDown and eventually reluctantly revealed what had happened after Edge was excited that Gangrel might get more bookings out of the angle.
Once Edge found out, he felt bad about the situation and was apologetic as he had no idea. He had been working on it for nearly three months and said it was hard to get WWE to approve it because of their PG rating. He wanted red "blood" but was told if it wasn't black, it wasn't going to happen.
He said he had no ill will toward Edge and was thrilled to see the entrance pulled off. He simply chalked it up to bad timing and hopes to be booked by AEW again in the future.

CM Punk gets "p*nked" By R-Truth (Ron Killings)
WWE RAW Superstar R-Truth is apparently not a fan of new AEW signee CM Punk.
Earlier on Wednesday, Truth took a jab at Punk and stated that he was never impressed by the former WWE Champion during their years working together. You see how CM Punk gotg "Punked" in the screen shot above.
Truth made his feelings known while responding to a fan on TikTok, who posted an audio clip from 2014 of Punk on Colt Cabana’s podcast. In the clip, Punk could be heard telling the story of why he was unhappy during his final years with the WWE, bringing up WWE’s decision to have him & Triple H lose to R-Truth & The Miz in a tag team match at WWEs’ Vengeance 2011. Punk felt that the booking didn’t make any business sense at the time.
Punk was interviewed by Tony Schiavone on Wednesday night, in his first-ever appearance on AEW Dynamite. He will face Darby Allin at the upcoming All Out pay-per-view.
As a side note related to this story, WRESTLINGINC (who also reported this story) had a "link" to a podcast of Colt Cobana where Punk expressed his unhappiness with WWE.
BUT.. What happens when you click on that 'link'?
Well, THIS aaahahahahahahaha.
YYEEAAH, some one might want to inform WrestlingInc that they should at least CHECK their links, before posting or re-posting them.
A little effort like that DOES, go a long way (smiles).

Jim Ross: "Shawn Michaels Is Lucky Vader “Didn’t Beat The Sh**t Out Of Him”
Jim Ross spoke on the latest episode of the Grilling JR Podcast about Shawn Michaels during the late ’90s and the issues he had during that period. The AEW Commentator said a lot of people backstage in WWE at the time would always make excuses for Michaels given his in-ring ability.
“Shawn was in a tough time,” Ross said. “We all started making excuses for him, ‘well it’s this, he was on too much medication, he was drinking too much, he was influenced by the wrong people.’ Somewhere along the way, we had to stop and look in the mirror. Shawns made great life changes since that time by 180 degrees which is wonderful, but he was not so easy to be around. He was just so freakin good, he was in that Flair conversation when you say ‘Who’s the best two workers you ever saw?’ Shawn at that time was as good as anybody who laced boots and used that cachet to his advantage.”
Ross continued to talk about Michaels and his issues with Vader during their match at SummerSlam 1996. During the match, HBK yelled at Vader to move out of the way during a spot. The problems during the match reportedly led to issues during Vader’s time with WWE because Vince McMahon took Shawn’s side during the argument. JR recalled the reaction backstage on that night.
“Well, nothing good,” Ross said. “You don’t have to use your cool like that, Shawn had the license to lose his cool because of his influence with the office and Shawn knew that Vince was going to back him no matter what he did. Shawn overplayed his hand in my estimation, it was very unprofessional and he’s just lucky Vader didn’t beat the sh** out of him because Leon could have. Leon was hungry, Leon wanted the opportunity, he needed an American base and now he’s in the main event of a major pay-per-view wrestling for the biggest title we have. Leon had traveled a lot of miles, had lost weight and showed a better commitment to what he was doing.
“I just thought it was totally uncalled for, Shawn had the deck stacked cause he had Vince in his back pocket. Vince often told me ‘You know that goddamn Shawn Michaels reminds me of me when I was younger.’ Did you do a lot of super kicks when you were younger Vince? But he was talking about Shawn’s attitude, demeanor, that type thing. It wasn’t good and the damn match got four stars and could’ve been five stars if some of that childish bulls*** didn’t happen.”
Billy Corgan on who helped mend the fences between IMPACT Wrestling and NWA
Billy Corgan says we have Mickie James to thank for the current partnership between IMPACT Wrestling and the NWA.
Ahead of NWA's big weekend in St. Louis, Billy Corgan sat down with The Battleground Podcast to discuss various subjects. When asked who helped repair the relationship between IMPACT Wrestling and the NWA, Corgan revealed that it was none other than Mickie James.
"Well, I think it’s all credit to Mickie [James], she was the one that had the relationships to go back and kind of reopen that door, which from my end was closed due to some business stuff that had gone on," Billy Corgan said. "Then, Pat Kenney, who works behind the scenes in talent relations, has a long-standing relationship with people in IMPACT. I think it just kind of mended the fence and we found some business to do together and they’ve been a great partner in this."
Billy Corgan also discussed the "forbidden door" in professional wrestling that we've seen open up lately between multiple companies. Corgan believes the future of the wrestling business includes all of these companies working together.
"Obviously, Deonna Purrazzo’s gonna be on the pay-per-view, and it’s a real honor," Billy Corgan continued. "Let’s not forget, I worked for that championship, so that championship means a lot to me. So to have it on an NWA show is a great honor and it's a tribute to everybody involved to help put it together. Because I think it's now very obvious, you know, everybody calls it the forbidden door, but I've been saying it for years, you know, the future of the wrestling business is really great people working together, putting together these Supercards."

He's An Idiot More Times Than Not But, You Have To Appreciate The Man's Hustle :)
Virgil Tweeted a Pic of himself setting up shop on Vince McMahon's Star on the walk of Fame, Tweeting..
“Happiest bday to my 2nd fave Vincent aka Vincenzo aka the Gorgonzola Godfather to my unborn children aka the All Mighty Appetizer to my Beef. Today’s hustle will be dedicated to you. My only wish for your bday is for you to get my video game #meatsaucemadness and stuff yourself with the most gourmet OG in the game. Sending love from the man with the biggest breadstick in the back to the man with the biggest meatballs. BUY MY GAME! LOVE YA”
Gotta love it, he's consistent with that hustle of his. He's well known for being a moron but at least he's consistent with the hustle.
He may not be able to get booked on any wrestling show anywhere in the world? but you can always count on him having his little merch table, LOL.
Conrad Thompson's Video Screw Ups Continue ( it takes Quite A 'Talent' To Screw it Up Twice In Twelve Hours)
A little more than TWLEVE HOURS since I did this story on Conrad Thompson's video fuck ups.. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/08/hope-conrad-isnt-paying-whoever-is.html When here comes, ANOTHER FUCK UP!
Yes, it DOES take quite a 'talent' to screw things up twice in less than one day.
The screen shot above of the video that's located here https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xmgBDhOjIUE It "says' it's SUPPOSED to be about Sean Waltman.. But guess what ladies and gentlemen...
On this video, Scott Hall? Talks about? SHAWN MICHEALS, AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
So you mean to tell me, that whoever the fucking idiot is, that's uploading these video clips, can't tell the difference between Sean Waltman and Shawn Michaels? Seriously?
Apparently the answer is in the evidence.
"Top Notch" job there, Conrad, top notch (note the sarcasm), You now have the 'Dave Meltzer five star' rating for fucking up. Congratulations on a job well done, jack ass.
I decided to contact Conrad Thompson on this and see how or IF, he can explain himself on how it's a five star fuck up with these video clips.
How much you wanna bet he tries to avoid the issue?

Looks Like I'm Not Alone Who About Not Caring About CM Punk's Promo- Booker T Wasn’t Impressed Either
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T was apparently not impressed with CM Punk’s return to pro wrestling during Friday’s AEW Rampage at the United Center in Chicago.
Booker recently discussed Punk’s AEW debut during an episode of his Hall of Fame podcast and said Punk “struck out” with his promo because he mentioned WWE.
“CM Punk is back man and I got a chance to witness the return of CM Punk, I really did,” Booker said. “I don’t know, you guys out there that are big AEW fans, you guys agree to disagree with me. But me, I’m always telling it like it is, y’all know that…and I’m gonna tell it like it is on this one right there as well. I want all of the listeners, I need you guys to challenge me on this one. I’m begging you to challenge me on what I’m talking about…”
“CM Punk came back and he had 10 full television minutes to go out there and make his point as far as CM Punk being back. He had the perfect crowd to be able to go out there and really, I’m talking about have a party up in that United Center. But CM Punk came back and took his moment and chose to talk about WWE. That right there was just a total miss as far as I’m concerned [he] struck out. I can only imagine if The Rock had that same 21,000 in Miami, Florida. The Rock would have talked about every landmark in Miami and that everybody in Miami frequented…he would have had those fans going crazy with excitement but CM Punk chose to talk about the WWE and that 9 minutes went back so slow when it could have been a party going on in the United Center.”
Brad Gilmore, Booker’s co-host, agreed that Punk’s promo was lackluster, but he felt like the moment itself was big. Booker responded and said he wouldn’t even be thinking about the other side if he were making his comeback, adding that Punk missed a moment in front of his hometown crowd.
Booker continued, “I’m saying from a perspective to where I’m making my comeback and I’m thinking about the other side, that’s totally a place that I wouldn’t even be going. As well as you talk about how the moment started out on a rise and after the music stopped playing, the rise just started going down. It never came back up. That’s a moment for you? I get it, I understand that but my point is the moment, once the bell rings and the bell rings after the music stops as far as I’m concerned and I just don’t think CM Punk delivered the way he could have as far as a promo goes because I didn’t feel the promo. I felt like a guy talking about WWE and when you’re talking about the other side, only thing you’re doing is giving those guys airtime. Of course, I know the AEW crowd will eat that up but for me as a professional, that’s the last thing that I’m gonna be thinking about is the other side. I’m gonna be thinking about the here and the now. Like I said, I could be wrong but I just think he missed a moment there in front of his hometown [with] over 20,000 people…”
Booker then responded to a YouTube chat room user and said he is not biased because of his relationship with WWE. He continued, “For me, it was the same promo that was given in WWE. It was about WWE. It had nothing meaningful to it as far as what I’m gonna create, who I’m gonna blow up, how I’m gonna take AEW by – coming in being a nice guy and throwing out freaking ice cream bars, who gives a damn about that?”
Booker later said he likes Punk and he wasn’t saying Punk doesn’t bring anything to the table. He also said he wants Punk to do well in life but he feels like Punk could’ve made a bigger impact if he didn’t mention WWE and ice cream bars.
Punk will make his AEW Dynamite debut tomorrow night in Milwaukee, and will then return to the ring at the AEW All Out pay-per-view on September 5 near Chicago, against Darby Allin. Booker pointed to how Allin is a babyface and said he would’ve picked a heel for Punk’s debut opponent.
Booker’s podcast has since been removed from his Reality of Wrestling YouTube account (Guess someone at YouTube is an oversensitive CM Punk "Mark", eh?). You can still hear the comments on his Periscope account via this link at around the 14:00 mark. https://www.pscp.tv/BookerT5x/1YqGoyvZBPkxv?t=13m56s

Hope Conrad Isn't Paying Whoever Is Uploading These (The Screw Ups Keep Coming)
Seriously, is Conrad Thompson paying someone to keep fucking up the videos being uploaded to YouTube? This is just the latest example in a long pattern of fuck ups when it comes to Conrad Thompson's videos.
And it seems like, since none of them have been corrected, that Conrad doesn't give a shit if they're fucked up.
"Just as long as they're uploaded, 'wwhhoo cares' if they're screwed up in some form or fashion, just get em uploaded pal" must be the logic and mentality.
If Conrad can take the time to insert his "Save With Conrad" ads in each video, you'd think he'd take the time to make sure no mistakes are made when they're uploaded.
I mean, look. Here's some examples of the constant fuck ups. On a regular basis.
There's this one from Aug. 18th.. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/08/its-amateur-night-with-conrads.html
Then there's this one, where I recapped most of the past fucks ups. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2020/05/whoever-is-posting-conrads-stuff-is.html
Then there's this 'classic.
Yes indeedy, let's go ahead and put the 83 weeks logo and Bischoff's picture for a segment from the Arn Anderson podcast.. Yeah, that works really well. If YOU FUCKING MORON!
Of course there's this.. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/07/someone-needs-to-go-to-uploading-school.html
And then there's this too.
THEN? There's also this priceless gem. 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).
Yep, gotta love ol Conrad, if he's consistent at one thing? It's having a fuck up really fuck up his video clips, LOL!
Good job, good job (sarcastic 'thumbs up') Hope you get a raise for all this fucking up you're doing.

Insights On Changes Coming To NXT And Why Fans Should've Seen This Coming
By Bill M. Walkowitz
In an interview with BT Sport Nick Khan mentioned the changes that will be coming to NXT in a few weeks. Needless to say, the "NXT marks" are in an uproar, especially since comes on the heels of several NXT wrestlers losing their jobs at WWE.
Why are the "NXT Marks" crying about it? You 'knew' that sooner or later this was coming, Vince McMahon HAS to have his hands on everything when it comes to WWE and while it's a proven fact that every time McMahon touches something he usually fucks it up, you "marks" should've known this was inevitable. He can't stay away from something that in its own way was a well proven formula WITHOUT Vince putting his hands on it. Every time WWE has something "good" they find a will and a way to screw it up.
"HHEEYY, THIS is working, we can't have this continuing, WE'LL just have to do something about it to change this".
That always seems to be the logic and mentality within the WWE Universe. if it works, then go and screw it up. And now? You're about to see that same proven logic performed on NXT.
But there's other insights on this that I'm going to address that no other dirt sheet or wrestling news site writer will put the time, energy and effort in TO address.
Let's go into some of what ol Mr. Khan said in this interview, shall we? Let's...
“We are doing a complete revamp on NXT, led by Triple H, who is really one of the architects of the original NXT,” Khan revealed. “What we found — it’s part of why we did the tryout yesterday — what we want to make sure is easy for folks who want to be WWE Superstars, is figuring out how to become WWE Superstars.”
UUMM, isn't the the purpose of the Performance Center? DDUUHH!! People go there or get there because THEY, want to BE "WWE Superstars", dumb ass.
What, you think want to go thru the Performance Center just so they can turn around and go wrestle for say, Impact? NNOO jackass, they want to be part of the WWE Universe, that's WHY, they're there.
Here's another one of ol Nickyboy's quotes that I'm gonna easily shoot holes thru.
“In terms of an NXT re-brand, look for it in the next couple of weeks. It’s going to have a whole new look, it’s going to have a whole new feel — and we believe — because of a lot of the indie wrestlers, if you will, have come through our system and are in our system with SmackDown and RAW now. We don’t want to just keep doing that same thing, we want to look elsewhere for great, young talent".
PPPSSST, PPSST PPSST, PPPSSSSST.. WHO do you think has hired these 'indie wrestlers' you've had go their your system? The very guy who signs YOUR paycheck. If you think there's a 'problem' with having so many 'indie wrestlers' in your system, then why don't you look at the guy who hired them all, dummy.
It's not having 'indie wrestlers' in your system that's been the problem, it's your fucking creative department that saddles these guys with weak, lame name changes. Gimmicks that wouldn't get over even on Fantasy Island, and then you have writers scripting promos that are so lackluster that after they make the guys MEMORIZE these said promos, you wonder why it's not connecting with fans.
Those in charge of the creatively challenged creative department always use the scapegoat or copout of blaming the wrestler instead of looking at the shit, they ahem (cough cough) 'created'.
Of course, you don't wanna look at THAT obvious fact, do you Nick. No balls for that, eh? Yeah, many didn't think so.
The 'system' of wrestlers "paying their dues" to work their up and into a major company has been done for seemingly forever. What you with the indie wrestlers working for various indie companies until they get noticed or send in a video goes back to when there were wrestling territories. Today's indie companies are like this generation's 'territories' and here's examples of how old this time proven formula has worked.
Ric Flair.. Got trained in Verne Gagne's wrestling camp, broke in and payed his dues for Gagne before going on to Jim Crockett's Mid-Atlantic area where he, what? PAID HIS DUES, worked his way up to become one of the most well known professional wrestlers, ever.
Sgt. Slaughter? same thing. Trained in Gagne's camp, broke in with Gagne's AWA, becoming an original member of the Super destroyers managed by Lord Alfred Hayes, then went to the NWA and became a star there before first signing with the WWF in 1980.
Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Undertaker, Steve Austin, the list can go on and on on how they did same kind of thing. With the independent groups it's the same thing as most of the WWE's roster came from guys who honed their skills and paid their dues on the indie scene. Cena, Batista, Newly crowned (again) NXT champion Samoa Joe ALL worked indie groups before they got signed to WWE Developmental system and went to the, what? Oh yeah that's right... Went to the INDIE GROUPS that WWE had under their developmental system.
Can you tell that Nick Khan has no fucking clue ABOUT a 'system" he said going to go thru changes?
But he says they want to look 'elsewhere to find their next "WWE Superstars".. Where you gonna look, the local grocery store in Stamford?
Changing the "look, the production of the show, everything" won't cover up the one glaring fact that Nick Khan doesn't have the balls to address with McMahon. And that's that the creative department in the WWE sucks ass. Plain and simple, cut and dry, that's a fact that nobody in the WWE has the guts to admit.
Plus add to all this that no matter what changes are made in NXT, the other glowing fact that Khan won't have the balls to address to Vince is, once NXT wrestlers get to the main roster, Vince gets his hands on them and totally fucks up all the momentum they built up while they were IN, NXT.
The fact he fucked them up, and they left or were released and they went on to get greater fame in other companies, is proof that everything I've said is absolutely 100% correct. I also said back when NXT was first formed that sooner or later Vince wouldn't be able to control himself and get involved with it.
GGEEE, guess who's prediction has come to pass. Makes you go, HHMMM that I knew this BACK THEN, and "Marks" are NOW crying and whining about it.
You can go as far back as to when Vince's creative department saddled the late Dick Slater with "The Rebel" gimmick. Lame as hell, didn't get over and that's just one example as you can put WWE's feud with the NWA, their version of ECW and all the cookie cutter stupid gimmicks they've churned out since the late 80's as the never ending example of how creatively challenged the creative depart continues to be.
So get ready NXT "Marks", Vince's vision is gonna make what you came to love? What're you're going to hate.
How soon will it be be has Nick Khan do the very same thing with NXT UK?
Trust me, THAT'S coming too, you'll see and when it does? You can come and tell me how I was in predicting that, just like I predicted this.
But that's the WWE for you, whenever they have something that's good in their fans eyes and "works"? they have t go and fuck it up. If ain't broken don't fix it.
But in the logic and mentality of WWE? Oh wait, there is no logic and common sense there. There's logic and common sense in the real world?
And Then.. There's the "WWE Universe".
I'm glad the WWE created a product so bad that every time I try to watch it, they remind me why I DON'T watch it. Because I'd probably be as pissed as the fans of NXT are right about now. So thank you WWE, thank you Vince McMahon for putting out a product that isn't geared to a fan like me. Because I now don't have t be angry and upset that you're once again, fucking up a good thing.
But I guess if you're gonna be consistent in something, be consistent in doing that, eh?

Meltzer Gets "Checked" By Asuka On Fake Story He Did (He Got "Treated")
Once again Dave Meltzer gets it wrong, and gets "checked" as a result of it. Some day he might learn that making shit up and getting caught just makes him look like a dumb ass.
Someday though, you know.. Won't be today.
That's why here at Wrestling Past And Present WWEE, don't put ourselves in that kind of predicament. There's plenty of news and wrestling stuff for us to look at and post that we don't have to make shit up.
Too bad Meltzer isn't smart enough to realize that.
Anyways, here's the Story of Uncle Dave getting put in his place, again. Don't cry about it "Meltzer marks", it's not your fault your hero always puts himself in these predicaments to where he's publicly busted out for lying, it's his.
WWE RAW Superstar Asuka has shot down reports pertaining to her recent absence from WWE TV.
Last week, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that Asuka is not injured, and that WWE creative just doesn’t have any immediate plans for her. It was also noted that Asuka was at the recent RAW taping but left early because she wasn’t booked for anything on the show.
Earlier today, Asuka called out the “fake story” and said the reason for her absence is “completely different” to what is being reported. As seen in the shot at the top.
Asuka made the tweet while responding to a fan who quoted The Observer’s report. The fan has since deleted his tweet like a chicken shit.
The Empress of Tomorrow was last seen in action during the Women’s Money In the Bank Ladder Match at the July 18 pay-per-view.

So CM Punk Debuts In AEW- I Guess I'll Have To Be The One Who Whirls His Finger And says "Whoopie"
By Bill M. Walkowitz
So all the hoopla and hollering about CM Punk coming to debut in AEW actually happened earlier tonight. All the current era "Marks" I know were all in a celebratory mood as this to them was the 'greatest thing' ever.
Since I always seem to be the asshole in the room, I'll go ahead and be that asshole. CM Punk in AEW?
(Whirls finger and says "WWHHOOPPIIEE")
Dave Scherer said on his PWInsider site that this was 'perfect". Yeah, a PERFECT example of how to rip off exactly what WWE does.
Wasn't it AEW who kept claiming that THEY.. Were going to be the 'alternative' to WWE? They sure did and I covered and called them out on that with this story.. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2020/09/how-hypocritical-aew-is.html as well as acouple days ago with THIS story.. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/08/aew-claims-to-be-alternative-to-wwe-but.html
Yeah, pretty hard to keep claiming to be the "alternative" to WWE when you keep doing exactly what WWE does. makes you go, HHHMMM. And it also makes you wonder how the AEW "Marks" 'never' seem to see this even though a blind man can.
And tonight's segment with CM Punk was taken straight from HOW, WWE does things.
They have Punk come out at the beginning of the show, and he spent almost TWENTY FUCKING MINUTES in the ring on the mic.
Gee, if that isn't right out of the RAW and Smackdown way of doing things I don't know what is. But hey, remember AEW is SUPPOSED to be the 'alternative' ya know (rolls eyes)
I watched this and five minutes in I was wishing he'd quickly get to the point and get the fuck out of the ring. But NNOOPEE, THAT would've been too logical, so in the usual AEW tradition where things go on way too long every week, they kept that tradition going with this segment.
And then he goes "Can I tell you a story"? I admit I was the one who was saying "Not really, just get to the point of all this please" but even if every fan in the United Center had said "No"? He would've went on to tell the story anyway (He does have at least ten more minutes to kill ya know).
THEN, in an act that validates everything I've been saying about how fucking dumb today's "marks" are, Punk takes a seat in the middle of the ring.. And the "Marks" CHEER like he did something earth shattering.
He 'sat in the middle of the ring'.. What in the hell is there to cheer about, you morons.
And what does he do then? He does the SAME THING every wrestler that's left WWE and comes to AEW does. He finds a way to whine about them. Gee like nobody saw THAT cokming, eh? (rolls eyes).
What he should've done? was watch Christian's promo on Impact and taken some notes from that.
Christian stated how TNA (Impact) took a chance on him, and he took a chance on himself. THAT kind of thing would've been way better than crying about being 'sick' in another company.
Another interesting observation, CM Punk claimed that Ring of Honor was his 'Home", WELL if seemed like 'home' so much to you, how come you never went back there? Dipshit. Why didn't you resign with them? OOHHH I know why, because you wanted to get the big payday by milking the money mark Tony Khan, just like all the other WWE castoffs have done.
I swear I must be the only one, who can shoot holes in bullshit like this with such ease. God knows Scherer won't ever have the balls to do it, nor will any other, dirt sheet or wrestling news site. So of course it'll always have to be left to me to do.
How many times did he say "I'm back", five, six times? We got it the third time. Besides everyone knew you were coming so it wasn't like it was a huge earthshattering surprise either.
But now what? Now what after all this when in like four weeks you get treated to the illogical booking AEW is well known for, working in the ring with guys who can't, don't know how or don't WANT to 'sell' correctly and the storylines are just as weak for you as they are for most of the roster? Are you gonna get 'sick', again?
I know the 'marks' are gonna be all in an uproar when they read this. (shrugs) "You're a hater" is what I'll be told in replies and in messenger, (whirls finger) truth hurts so if calling me a 'hater' is the most insulting thing you can come up with? Won't be the first time and it sure as hell won't be the last so I'll embrace your compliment with a big smile.
Or, I'll get "You're not a fan", and you're right, you're absolutely right. I'm not a fan of CM Punk. So all this hoopla about him being in AEW has me going "yeah, so, big deal". The ONLY THING when it came to Punk that i ever liked? Was when he was in Ring of Honor and the fans there chanted "CM Pussy". THAT cracked me up to no end.
CM Punk in ROH did nothing for me and when he was in the WWE he did even less. So him being in AEW will be more of the same. The same description can be applied to the other guy that's being hyped so much, Daniel Bryan. And if he debuts in AEW and does the same rip off of WWE's opening segment as Punk did tonight? You can bet I'll be making fun of that as well.
The one thing AEW DID Do for me? They reminded me again why I, don't WWE anymore. So I can thank them for that (smiles).

Were There Talks Between Tessa Blanchard And Billy Corgan's NWA? (Partial "Credit" Goes to Fightful Select)
Tessa Blanchard has reportedly had talks with the NWA.
The NWA reportedly reached out to Blanchard this summer, according to Fightful Select. There’s no word on what the talks consisted of, but it was noted that NWA officials wanted to get a feel for the possibility of working together.
It looks like a deal could not be reached between the two sides because the talks are apparently tabled for the time being.
Blanchard has been away from pro wrestling for the most part since finishing up with Impact Wrestling last summer, leaving the promotion as World Champion as her contract was terminated days before it was set to expire. She became a free agent more than 14 months ago. It was reported in December that she was still celebrating her marriage to Daga, and had not decided on her future in the business. It was then rumored earlier by AEW "Marks" earlier this year that Tessa and Daga were in talks with AEW or headed to AEW, but nothing ever came of it. I covered and killed the "Marks" ASSumptions with this story. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/05/for-all-marks-who-think-tessa-blanchard.html
Blanchard relocated to Texas some months ago and continues to train for in-ring action, but it remains to be seen when she will make her return to the squared circle.
As a side note to this. Since Fightful Select wants 'credit' for telling this?
"Here ya go" (Smiles).
Someone pointed this out to me when they sent me this story on Tessa Blanchard. Fightful Select wants to be known as the 'source' for the story but WHAT HAPPENS when you click on the 'link' that was supposed to be associated with the story?
WWEELL.. Click on the link which is this.. https://www.patreon.com/fightful And you get... THIS when you do.
Yeah, they want and EXPECT YYOOOU to pay to see a story I've now done for free.
GEE, WHERE have we seen this before? (Looks over at PWInsider for trying those same kind of scams)
Yeah nice try Fightful. Only a total and complete DUMB ASS would fall for that.
Again, nice try, but no sale.
