As you can see in the above screen shot, Mike Johnson of PWInsider tried to make it 'appear', that Tommy Dreamer's statement was just issued to "PWInsider".
WELL if that's the case "Mikeypoo" then how do you explain, THIS?
The EXACT same statement you 'allege' was 'issued' to you, is ALL OVER social media thanks to Dreamer putting that same statement on Twitter.
BOOM, looks like 'someone' just got busted for lying.
Nice try Mike Johnson, you should've known better nthan to try and make something like that 'exclusive' when it really isn't.
So you can thank the people here at WP&P. for telling the truth, sin ce it's obvious Mike Johnson apparently want to.
By all means, please show Mikey how he just got 'checked'. And how easy it was for that to happen.
NOW let's see if he'll go retract it, or if he'll be like Meltzer and his staff who think correcting themselves when they get busted is something that's "beneath them".
Again, nice try Mikey, nice try, LOL. But BOY is this an epic fail on your part, dumb ass.
The U.S. District Court Southern District of Illinois (East St. Louis) has set a new date for the trial in the lawsuit brought by tattoo artist Catherine Alexander against World Wrestling Entertainment, Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., 2K Games, Inc., 2K Sports, Inc., Visual Concepts Entertainment, Yuke’s Co., Ltd. and Yuke’s LA Inc will be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The trial was slated to begin on 9/20 and is now reset for 1/31/22.
As it's been covered by many over the last several years, the lawsuit, initially filed in April 2018, alleges that all of Alexander's tattoo work on WWE star Randy Orton are her original designs that she owns and that she has never given any of the defendants permission to recreate them in the WWE videogames, therefore they and other defendants have infringed on her copyrights.
In the suit, Anderson stated that she performed the tattoo work on Orton between 2003 and 2008 and that "are easily recognized by his fans and members of the public." She also noted that, in advance of the lawsuit obviously, she "submitted applications to register copyrights on each of the aforementioned works on March 15, 2018." She also alleged that she has previously contacted WWE regarding material featuring Orton's tattoos being sold by the company in 2009 and at that time, they offered her a $450 fee for the rights to the designs. Alexander claimed she turned that offer down and at the time, "told WWE that Plaintiff did not grant any permission to WWE to copy, duplicate or otherwise use or reproduce any of Plaintiff’s designs."
Alexander has alleged that by recreating the tattoos in the WWE videogames, the rights to her designs are being infringed upon. She also alleges in the lawsuit that "Mr. Orton does not have ownership in the copyrights asserted herein and has no authority to and did not grant permission for Defendants to commit the acts complained of in this Complaint." Orton has not been named as a defendant in the lawsuit and has never commented publicly on the situation.
In a ruling issued on 9/26/20, Judge Staci M. Yandle ruled that WWE and Take-Two had indeed copied five tattoos that were Alexander's original work that were tattooed on Orton and that she holds valid trademarks on. Judge Yandle did deny Alexander's request for a summary judgment (which would have been a knockout blow for her legally, setting up definite damages) citing that some of the tribal tattoos Orton has inked would not allow for a judgment, sending it on for a jury to decide. It also noted that while there is no question that WWE copied Alexander's works, they have laid out three potential defenses that the jury can decide for itself whether to agree with or not.
With the Judge siding with Alexander, there are several issues that a jury will decide, including whether Orton was automatically granted an implied license to have his tattoos recreated via WWE's licensed products, if they would be considered copyright infringement if Orton did not have that license, whether the tattoos would fall under "fair use" (brief excerpts of copyright material may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder), whether the tattoos are de minmis (too trivial or minor to merit consideration legally) and whether there would be damages due to Alexander.
There are a lot of eyes on the case given that scores of videogames that feature professional athletes recreate their tattoos in the games, and this case could set a legal precedent for other tattoo artists to follow.
The case has been pushed back numerous times before. Originally, it was pushed back as the original presiding Judge retired from the bench, requiring Judge Yandle to take over the proceedings. The trial was then pushed back again to June 2020 at the request of 2K and several other plaintiffs then again to February of this year and will was to finally take place this January.
Tommy Dreamer issued the following statement to this afternoon:
"Regarding my comments made on Dark Side of the Ring
It was never my intention to offend, hurt or victim shame anyone
I understand my comments were insensitive and could trigger emotions in someone's own personal past.
I do not condone sexual misconduct of any kind.
I apologize to anyone I offended.
From the bottom of my heart
I am so sorry."
During the Dark Side of the Ring episode, Dreamer defended Ric Flair, who was accused by flight attendant Heidi Doyle of exposing himself and forcing her to touch his genitals. Flair has denied these claims.
Dreamer said that Flair is "not going to impose, by force, any sexual stuff onto anybody. He's just flaunting...stylin' and profilin'...like the Ric Flair stuff where everybody's going to laugh about it. Obviously, somebody took offense to it."
“It's a joke,” he later added. “It's a gag. Today? 1000% inappropriate. I have hung out with Ric Flair and have never seen him force his will against anybody.”
Regarding the WWE settlement with Doyle following the incident, Dreamer said "If that’s how she felt, maybe she should have not taken a payout and went to the fullest extent of the law to put this heinous person in jail. My opinion."
Impact Wrestling suspended Dreamer on Friday, saying “We are aware of Mr. Laughlin’s (Tommy Dreamer) comments on “Dark Side of the Ring”. The views expressed by him in the interview are completely unacceptable. We can confirm Mr. Laughlin was suspended this morning with immediate effect, pending further action.”
And now the fans of ECW who used to chant "you fucked up, you fucked up, you fucked up" should now chant that at Dreamer wherever he appears next.
But you know, they won't have the balls, to do that.
ACW Live! Episode 21: Facade vs Jayce Karr The Neon Ninja Facade has a target on his back as Jayce Karr attempts to move up the ladder of ACW Championship contention.
Bert has worked with several young talents thru the years thru his various endeavors including NWA Nashville, Music City Wrestling, Ozark Mountain Wrestling, as well as up until his untimely passing away, USA Championship Wrestling based out of Jackson Tennessee.
I contacted Jason Prentice about this endeavor, which is one of the many things that is and will continue to be featured by us at Wrestling Past And Present to learn more about this venture.
Mr. Prentice took time out of his very busy schedule to send me the following about the PWN.
"The Prentice Wrestling Network aims to bring several promotions to the forefront of the attention of its audience. Talents from the Midwest, Midsouth, and all over the us will be featured as the Network honors the legacy of Bert Prentice. See footage from SICW in Illinois, RUGGEDPro in Iowa, PXW in the Midwest, Viral Pro, and USA Championship Wrestling in Tennessee! More promotions are set to join and if anyone or any companies are interested in getting your promotion on the network, they can message Jason Prentice for more details."
Speaking of the late Bert Prentice, there's going to be a memorial show in Jackson Tennessee where the majority of Bert's USA Championship Wrestling shows were held. ALL proceeds from this show will be helping to support Bert's medical and funeral expenses.
There's also another show coming Saturday Sept. 25th at the Dickson County fairgrounds featuring talent from Bert's USA Championship Wrestling as well as the Jacobs-Prichard Wrestling Academy (which is owned and operated by Glen Jacobs AKA Kane and Dr. Tom Prichard).
In a story the "other major wrestling sites" probably won't cover until they find out I did it first (which is usually the case in something like this) Kevin Sullivan who recently was booker for SWE Fury before being replaced by Teddy Long (The logic behind that decision is pretty fucking baffling in itself) will be added as booker alongside Eric Embry for World Class Pro Wrestling starting December 11th at their show in Irving Texas.
Here's the official announcement, made two hours ago.
"World Class Pro Wrestling has announced that legendary bookers Kevin Sullivan and Erich Embry will be booking for the company which relaunches after a 2 year pandemic break Oct 3 at the Cotillion in Wichita and Dec 11 at Southern Junction in Irving Texas".
Embry and Sullivan BOTH booking together? I bet THAT, will quite interesting.

The fallout of last night's Dark Side of the Ring episode on "The Plane Ride from Hell" has continued, PWInsider.com has exclusively confirm.
The Car Shield commercial campaign featuring the WWE Hall of Famer as the star of a number off spots for the brand has been "paused."
A spokesperson for Intermedia, the advertising agency which handles Car Shield's commercials told Several Wrestling news outlets
"We take these matters very seriously. As of right now, we are pausing the campaign and we will do our due diligence."
There is currently no timetable for the spots to return to the airwaves and that the commercial will soon disappear pending additional investigation and decisions.
In the documentary, a flight attendant on the 2002 WWE "Plane Ride from Hell" from London to the United States stated that Ric Flair, naked with the exception of his robe, cornered her in the galley of the plane, making unwanted advances towards her.
In the past, Flair has denied all allegations and as recently as several days ago, told Renee Young on her podcast, " God, I’ve heard about it too. Just when things are going good for me. Listen, you [Renee Paquette] put me on your podcast after. We’ll see how it plays out, because I was there and I don’t care whose name I gotta drop if the heat falls on me. I know who was where and what and who and what took place. I know the whole story."
TOMMY DREAMER INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED BY IMPACT WRESTLING.
Impact Wrestling's Ed Nordholm issued an email to the company's roster and staff today announcing that Tommy Dreamer was suspended indefinitely going forward.
In the email, Nordholm stated that the company was made aware of comments Dreamer made on last night's Dark Side of the Ring and they were "out of line with our core values" as a company. In the episode, Dreamer commented on allegations made about Ric Flair on the infamous "plane ride from hell" twenty years ago.
Nordholm stated Dreamer was "asked to leave effective immediately" from Nashville, TN and was suspended going forward.
Nordholm also asked that if anyone had any concerns of questions, to approach Gail Kim, Scott D'Amore or himself.
This week on CHARGED, we find out who will become the #1 Contenders for JK Pop and the Tag Team Titles as Tag Dudes take on Jumbo and David Drake. Baylum Lynx looks to get momentum behind him on his way to Shocktober against Ronin. Lypto goes one on one with Brookmak. And Echo takes on Owen Easton with a shot at the Twitch Championship on the line.
Breakker is the son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner. However, he was not acknowledged as a second-generation superstar nor were Rick and Scott ever named.
It's been reported and noted that the announcers were not allowed to say Rick Steiner’s name. Vic Joseph, however, did get in the line “Dog Faced Gremlin” as a reference to Rick Steiner.
If that isn't one of the DUMBEST things ever, seriously.
Instead of improving their shows or having their creatively challenged creative department actually 'create' something fans wanna actually watch, they do this kind of dumb shit instead.
It was noticeable that Brooks Jensen, the song of Bull Buchanan, was refereed to a second-generation star, though Bull Buchanan was also not referred to by name. Jensen made his debut tagging with Josh Briggs.
Gotta love the WWE and the dumb shit they keep on doing.
Former WCW and WWE star Marcus “Buff” Bagwell says WWE has denied his request for rehab. (Yeah, OOOOKK)
Back in May how Bagwell was arrested where he lives in Cobb County, Georgia after leaving the scene of an accident he was involved in. He was facing numerous charges, on top of charges he was facing from an August 2020 accident that he had an arrest warrant out for at the time of the May incident. You can click here for the report on Bagwell’s May arrest, which includes his mugshot photo.
In an update on the criminal and traffic cases against Bagwell, Cobb County court records show that he is scheduled to face multiple charges for the August 2020 incident and the May 2021 incident on Thursday, November 18 at 9am. Bagwell is scheduled to appear in front of Judge Carl W. Bowers for a jury trial.
The jury trial will see Bagwell face the following charges that day, according to court records – from the May 2021 arrest: Giving False Name/DOB/Address, Open Container, Hit & Run/Duty of Driver, Following Too Closely, No License on Person. From the August 2020 arrest: DUI Marijuana/Controlled Substance, DUI Drugs/Any Combination 1-3 Less Safe, DUI Drugs Misdemeanor, DUI Drugs Misdemeanor, Reckless Driving, Speeding, Following Too Closely, Hit & Run/Duty of Driver, Failure to Yield Right of Way Intersection, Hit & Run/Duty of Driver, Strike Fixed Object, Driving Wrong Side of Road, Crossing Gore Area/Drive In Emergency Lane.
In more news on Bagwell, the veteran pro wrestler recently launched his “Rebuilding Buff” podcast with co-host Michael Long. Buff’s new “Stars & Stripes” episode included a discussion where he said WWE has denied his request for rehab after he reached out for help.
Bagwell indicated that he had help from WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page in making the request, and that Page was shocked over WWE denying him. Bagwell also expressed interest in getting better so that he can potentially get work with AEW.
“You ready for this one? WWF [WWE] turned me down on going to rehab,” Bagwell said. “I want to put that in your head and let you run with that, and just think about Scott Hall going 4 and 5 times, that crazy, crazy, crazy ass girl, that Dustin Rhodes was married to, that went 5 and 6 times. Not to mention Road Dogg… you kidding me? You think he went once? They went every time they could, I ask once and they deny me. They deny me, bro. Here I am trying to get better, I’ve come to them, on what they want me to do, which is get better, and it’s not like I’m off the chain.
“I mean, I’m in shape, you can tell by my body. I’m in shape, I’m at the gym every day. I feel great and all that but still, you know, I could use something like that to get my life completely straight up, and a company like AEW could take me for real, you know? And that’s where Dallas is really behind this thing, is more like, look, he goes, ‘You’re a great guy, it’s just nobody thinks nothing’s wrong with you because you look great, you sound great, but you don’t act like it, you need help. You need help.’ And I said, ‘I agree, I agreed with you, I’m with you.’ But what do you do when the WWF, out of all of those drug addicts I just talked about, from Jake Roberts to Scott Hall, down the list. If they get mad about me saying they’re drug addicts, then they’re just idiots because we all were drug addicts, and if they’re willing to say that, then so be it. They can be proud enough to say that if they want to, but it’s not the truth. The truth is, they turned me down.”
Bagwell’s co-host pointed to how “Road Dogg” Brian James took shots at WWE every chance he could, but the company was still there for him.
“Three letters,” Bagwell responded, laughing when his co-host named Triple H. Bagwell added, “That’s my boy. That’s my boy, Triple H, baby.”
Bagwell continued, “I worshiped Road Dogg, we are great friends. We gotta call a spade a spade when it’s time to call a spade a spade, and calling a spade a spade is, he… you know, they have said no to me when they have said yes to major drug addicts.”
Bagwell’s host recalled how he’s worked on a podcast with Justin Credible in the past, and had to call a WWE employee who handles rehab for former talents, to get Credible set back up in rehab after finishing stints in jail. Bagwell’s host couldn’t recall the name of the man, but Bagwell chimed in and named Bob Killar of the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services, a WWE consultant and addiction specalist who was/is one of the people running WWE’s rehab program for former talent. Bagwell’s co-host noted how WWE always helped Credible, no matter how many times he no-showed rehab. Bagwell continued and talked about how rehab would at least “get the doctors off” him, adding that “the chase” is tiresome and absolutely horrible.
“I want you to take this part of what I’ve told you and put it in your brain that is so smart, and I want you to play with this for a while, and think about it because it’s really unbelievable,” Bagwell continued. “A guy that came from WCW as one of the top talent guys, that did nothing wrong except didn’t do what they said was… they read the computer and believed it, and still would not give me the benefit of the doubt of, ‘Look, here I am, I’m willing to go in and make sure that everything’s fine,’ And if nothing else, man just to get the doctors off me. Just the chase, it’s tiresome, it’s horrible. It’s absolutely horrible, the chase. And they came back with, no. Dallas Page called me up and goes… because keep in mind, first he was like, ‘Hey bro, yo bro this and bro that, and bro this, and bro that,’ And all of a sudden he went, ‘I can’t believe they turned you down. I can’t believe it.’ They, hey… first time ever asking!”
Bagwell continued and recalled how he wrestled WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, who was then the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, at the July 2, 2001 RAW from Tacoma, Washington. That main event ended in a No Contest. Bagwell also wrestled Booker on the July 1 WWE live event from Spokane, and these were his only WWE appearances.
“I wrestled Booker T in the first match of The Invasion, with 25 stitches in my head,” Bagwell recalled.”They had to get a Sharpie and Sharpie in where they shaved my head before I did the match. So I’ve got 25 or 30, I can’t remember what it was, 25 or 30 staples in my head, and they lay out this thing where they’re going to beat Booker up, me join in, and then throw us both out the back, and we knew right there it was over, it’s just the fans didn’t.
“We knew right there that, wait a minute, why wouldn’t we wait until one week and put Booker T and Buff Bagwell as the main event in Atlanta, Georgia, and they didn’t wait, they shoved it down their throats in Tacoma, to make us look like trash, and it worked, and it worked. It made us look like we were the bad guys, and ‘Hey, we gave those guys a shot, hey it didn’t work out.’ So be it, it didn’t work out.”
There is no word on exactly when Bagwell asked for rehab, or if he used DDP to make the request, but we will keep you updated. It seems like this was a fairly recent request, according to Bagwell’s comments and posts on social media.
Well it looks like the story on Hannibal getting 'checked' and put in his place by the powers that be at SWE Fury struck a nerve. In the story I did yesterday which you can see here... https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/09/swe-responds-to-hannibalbloodhunters.html I pretty much called out Hannibal/Bloodhunter/ Devon Nicholson out for nothing but a whiney baby who was bitching on YouTube because he got 'future endeavored' by SWE.
And wouldn't you know who was right on that fact? Thanks to ol Hannibal's himself, his actions have proven me to be correct.
The story I did yesterday featured not only SWE's official statement which put all of 'Hannibal's' bitching to shame but also featured these videos.
Earlier today Hannibal/Bloodhunter/Devon went into panic mode when he found this story was written. because if you click to the links to those videos?
THIS is what happens.
Devon? Devon buddy what happened? What's the matter? Why'd you quickly and suddenly make those video "private" for?
If you were so sure you were telling the truth and had nothing to hide? YYOOUU wouldn't have suddenly made them videos 'private', LMAO!
I also know for a fact that Herb Simmons, owner of SICW and the owner of World Class pro Wrestling (two companies you claim to be 'sponsoring' in some form or fashion) contacted you about the story I did yesterday. You can't say bullshit cause I HAVE the correspondence from Herb Simmons to prove you wrong, so don't even try it unless you want to humiliated even further.
I'm sure them contacting you had ALOT to do with you changing the status of those videos. You were acting like a guy who's jealous because SWE found a better partner to work with in Booker T and the fact they kicked you to the curb can't be argued by you. No matter how many videos you make whining and bitching about it. In the end SWE showed they can and will be doing better, WITHOUT YOU. And I'm sure Mr. Bostic and Mr. Simmons got quite concerned when they read my story and saw how much of jack ass you were acting like.
Seriously, who'd want to business with you when you couldn't present real facts other than you complaining on YouTube?
So not only did SWE put Hannibal/Devon in his place? I.. Also 'checked' him as well with the story I wrote yesterday.
Again, if he thought he wasn't 'checked'? He never would've made them videos 'private'. So he knows he got put in his place.
Devon, how's it feel to know got 'checked' TWICE in twenty four hours by two different people?
The truth 'Hannibal/Bloodhunter' will always outshine you whining on YouTube, that's just the way? The world is.
Update 10:00 PM
If you really wanna see how Hannibal/Devon has turned real chickenshit on this deal since I showed how SWE "Checked' him? Check out this video he did three hours ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wblzDP07WKY
At the end of it when THIS statement comes up, you can hear Devon?Hannibal/Bloodhunter QUICKLY go and side step, or back step from talking about it now LMAO!
His quick backing off of it is a very typical yet predictable cop out when one knows, he got 'checked'.
So he indeed now knows, he WAS, 'checked'. and I'm one of the people you can thank for doing that.
You're welcome. :)

This show...
First she announces her 'retirement' on Facebook. Then a week and a half later she 'unretires' herself and gets booked in Impact Wrestling where THEY, gave her a 'retirement match' and couldn't even to THAT stipulation correctly.
I covered that fuck up here. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/04/jazzs-emotional-retirement-ceremony.html
So now that she 'retired' in Impact Jazz is gonna go and 'retire' again, this time at the upcoming Atomic Revolutionary Wrestling show.
I mean Jesus Christ, how many fucking company's is she gonna 'retire' in?
THIS right here is a great example of why, fans don't take stipulations seriously or even believe em. Wrestlers like Jazz go out of their way to make a joke out of them.
After Jazz 'retires' from this company, what's the next company she gonna 'retire' in?
The fact that ARW is even DOING a 'retirement match' KNOWING she already did the 'retirement' gig over at Impact shows how dumb whoever owns ARW seems to be.
I guess when 'marks' own a company. they don't really pay attention to what's happening in other wrestling companies.
Watch, as soon as Jazz 'retires' in ARW, she'll be announced as 'retiring' somewhere else.
And when it DOES happen? You can bet I'll be right here, making fun of that one too.

This week on the AWF, the action rolls on with a chaotic battle featuring Super Thunderfrog against Nick "The Natural" Nelson!
Hannibal AKA Bloodhunter AKA Devon Nicolson whining about the SWE group based in Texas, someone sent me a message noting that SWE has smacked back on Hannibal/Devon. And what my gut feeling is when I listened to Devon's ranting is actually true.
Hannibal/Bloodhunter/Devon is just acting like a disgruntled employee because his 'services were no longer needed' by SWE and he got "Future Endeavored', LOL!
And since there's always two sides to every story, What SWE posted on their FB page pretty much puts all of of Devon's rantings to shit.
They chose to have work with Booker T, who owns Reality of Wrestling and IS, more 'local' seeing as BOTH companies ARE located in Texas. Plus seeing as Booker T does have a weekly show right where he has his training facility, why would a company continue to have someone based all the way the FUCK in Canada help supply talent, etc. when Booker has access to talent, local and other wise? It beats having to fly Devon in every show and pay that extra expense when you can have a working agreement with another well known and long running independent wrestling company right in your own state?
Simple economics Devon.. Working with Booker T has way more advantages than working with you, and YOU Devon are whining like a fucking baby because you got cast aside for something that's more better and more beneficial for SWE. So you trolling SWE's FB page for reason to continue you ranting and whining just shows SWE obviously made the right decision in sending you on your way.
So Devon, since you got 'checked' by SWE I may as well show people how you have been put in your place. proof is, a mother fucker and I'm always the mother fucker who has proof, so here's proof that Hannibal got 'checked'.
But WAIT! There's more..
Yeah Hannibal, looks like you got "owned" by what SWE had to say. They exploited you and at this point you're just crying like a bitch because SWE found a better deal than you, and Booker T and the talent he trains is much more 'safer' in the ring, than you.
At this point Deven/Bloodhunter you should just stay silent and stop crying and bitching like a fucking baby.
Stick to doing your daily news and Wrestling Observer reports. That's about all you're good for for the 'marks' who think, you're 'something'.
SWE laid out their side in great detail and all you've done? is whine on YouTube, LMAO!
Who do you think people are gonna believe? A well detailed response, or you bitching on YouTube?
Figure it out stupid, the answer is obvious and has already been figured out for you. YOU just can't or are incapable of accepting it.
You should be spending your time on 'sponsoring' Herb Simmon's SICW and the new World Class promotion over being a crybaby on YouTube.
It makes you wonder, if the owners of both those companies you're 'sponsoring' saw how you're acting, you'd think they smarten up and 'future endeavor' you like SWE did?
If they were smart? They would.

NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Trevor Murdoch meets face to face with the man he defeated at NWA 73 for the title, Nick Aldis, for the first time since their storied matchup.
Kevin Dunn is at tonight's WWE NXT TV taping to personally oversee the USA Network broadcast. Yeah like that's going over well.
Going forward, everything will be described as "NXT 2.0" on camera (rolls eyes). They intend to emphasize that this is a newer NXT hard. Kind of hard not to see that it is, dumb asses.
Paul Levesque is understandably not at today's taping.
As of an hour ago, Samoa Joe is not there.
The show script has changed a "ton" of times over the course of the day. Gee, how "Vince McMahon" is that? That right there tells you, being in NXT going forward is NOT, gonna be a fun place to be. They can't or WON'T stick to the script so let's change it many times on whoever in power has a 'whim', instead of playing whatever angles have been planned out? Franky Monet vs. NXT Women’s Champion Raquel Gonzalez was pulled from the show for unknown reason is an example.
The fact that wrestlers making a name for themselves DREAM of being in this kind of bullshit chaotic mess really still astounds me.
The CWC name will not be used in reference to the WWE Performance Center on NXT programming moving forward with tonight’s NXT 2.0 reset episode. The current plan is to refer to the venue as just the home of NXT. (AAYY YYAAYY).
Regarding tonight’s NXT 2.0 taping, there is said to be a lot of trepidation among the wrestlers, There had already been a lot of stress & concern among the wrestlers after the last round of NXT releases due to the feeling that wrestlers who “did everything they were supposed to” and/or were “great talents” were released, leaving some of the remaining wrestlers feeling as if everyone was now on thin ice, and that even if they did the right thing, it didn’t matter and that their runs could be over at any point, with no notice. While that has always been true, there was previously a feeling that talents were in somewhat of a “protective cocoon” thanks to Triple H
But that feeling is no more now that Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard have decided to get their grubby hands on this brand.
The call-time for tonight’s NXT TV taping was moved up earlier than usual because it’s the first live broadcast in several weeks, and with everything planned, including pre-tapes, they needed everyone there and ready to go. There’s a concern among some talents over the fact that Triple H will not work the taping as he’s recovering from his recent heart surgery. There was a feeling among some wrestlers that they didn’t know if it was going to be Triple H’s regular crew running the show, or other higher-ups.
Obviously with Kevin Dunn there, that question has been answered. The higher ups who have no experience writing or booking NXT are doing the show.
There is a great sense of unease among the wrestlers as they wait, like everyone else, to find out exactly what the brand is supposed to be moving forward with this revamp. We noted before how officials were being very tight-lipped with wrestlers who had asked about what is planned.
And since the script has been changed so many times, even the officials seem to have no ideas what's being planned.
Aren't you "NXT Marks" real 'excited about these new 'changes'? LOL.
The atmosphere has been described as "weird" by talents who've been asked about it.
YYYEEAAH I bet it is, I just BET, it is.
Welcome to the NNEEW NXT, LMAO!
Following Tasha Steelz’ blindside attack on Rosemary last week, “The Demon Assassin” is out for revenge!
Watch the first ever encounter between LuFisto and former NXT superstar Mercedez Martinez that took place in Berwyn, Illinois on Saturday, October 22nd 2006! As Good Ol' JR would saw... What a slobberknocker!! Enjoy!!
Court records indicate that the a motion hearing is slated for 10/12 regarding the trial for former WWE developmental and Impact Wrestling star Trenesha Daniyall Biggers aka Rhaka Khan before the 409th District Court in El Paso, Texas on charges of interference with child custody and "aggravated kidnapping facilitate."
The trial, which has been pushed back multiple times, is still listed as commencing on Friday 9/24/21 at 8 AM, but one would think the motion means that date will be postponed. The trial has already been pushed back several times, likely due to the slowdown in the court system brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biggers was indicted on the charges in August 2019, leading to her being listed as one of El Paso’s most wanted fugitives after failing to appear in court. There are two court instances where her no-shows led to her bail being revoked. She was finally arraigned in December 2019. Biggers is being represented by a public defender.
In the State of Texas, interference with child custody is when someone "takes or retains a child when that person knows that the taking or detention of the child violates a judgment or order." It is considered a state jail felony and can be punishable by up to two years in prison.
Biggers last wrestled in 2011 for the now-defunct Lucha Libre USA promotion, which aired on MTV. Biggers was part of the 2005 WWE Diva Search and was signed to a developemental contract after failing to make it past the top 25 contestants in the search. She was sent to Deep South Wrestling but was released in May 2006. She worked for a number of independent promotions and in Japan before signing with Impact Wrestling in 2008, departing that promotion in 2009. She worked for Lucha Libre USA in 2010 and 2011.
Biggers released the following videos in the wake of her arrest:
An update on the breach of contract lawsuit Pennsylvania-based independent wrestling streaming service IndependentWrestling.TV (IWTV) filed beore the United States District Court
Middle District of Pennsylvania (Scranton) last June against Game Changer Wrestling, alleging that GCW broke an agreement for IWTV to carry their events as part of IWTV's streaming service.
On 8/30, GCW filed a motion to dismiss, claiming that IWTV has failed “to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.”
The Times-Leader in Pennsylvania reported back in June that the lawsuit alleges the two sides entered into an agreement in March of 2020 but by December, GCW informed IWTV they would be "breaching" the deal and have since held 36 PPV events, a "violation of the signed agreement" of the two sides. The lawsuit alleges GCW has damaged IWTV "in excess of $500,000."
In a 100-page filing on 9/13 before the law, GCW argued their side of the argument, pushing for a dismissal, stating:
Plaintiff Independent Wrestling.TV (“IWTV”) alleges that Defendant Game Changer Wrestling, LLC (“Game Changer”) breached the terms of a distribution agreement. IWTV brought this suit to recover the profits it claims to have lost as a result of this alleged breach.
Assuming for purposes of this motion that the contract on which IWTV relies was not procured under highly problematic circumstances evidencing fraud and duress (and it was), the very distribution agreement upon which Plaintiff relies—one which was drafted by IWTV without any input from Defendant Game Changer—includes a limitation of damage provision that expressly prohibits recovery of lost profits. Because IWTV has failed to allege any other viable theory of damages, its claim for breach of contract must be dismissed. IWTV’s claim for “detrimental reliance” is similarly deficient.
IWTV’s claim fails because it has not adequately alleged any of the elements—a promise, reliance, injustice, or substantial damages stemming therefrom. In any case, a party cannot evade the application of a clear contractual limitation on damages—especially here where that was drafted without the input of the defendant counterparty—simply by restyling its breach of contract claim.
The promise on which Plaintiff relies is one purportedly made in the contract itself, and subject to all of the same restrictions. What’s more, IWTV failed to plead (as it must) that it actually relied to its detriment on any purported promise. For these reasons, the claim for detrimental reliance must also be dismissed.
Game Changer Wrestling claims their agreement with IWTV was to provide one live stream per month. They also argued that their contract with IWTV states that the contractual agreement between the two sides prevents each from being liable for the other’s lost profits, stating:
But Game Changer is not liable for IWTV’s alleged lost profits. The Distribution Agreement, drafted exclusively by Plaintiff IWTV, could scarcely be more explicit about this: “Neither party shall be liable to the other for any indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data or use incurred by any party, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.” Dist. Agreement § 11(c) (emphasis added). So IWTV cannot recover damages based on its lost profits. And because the Complaint does not allege any other form of injury suffered by IWTV, that leaves it without the crucial element of damages.
GCW also argued that the allegation that they breached the confidentiality of their contract with IWTV, arguing:
Apparently recognizing that the limitation on damages would prevent recovery for lost profits, IWTV has conclusorily asserted that Game Changer “breached section 8 of the Distribution Agreement by revealing and publicizing the terms of the Distribution Agreement to other promoters.” Compl. ¶ 21. As noted above, the bar on recovery of lost profits does not apply to a claim that either party has breached its contractual confidentiality obligations. But this transparent attempt to perform an end-run around the damages’ limitation clause fails for three separate reasons. First, “[c]onclusory allegations” with no factual support to show their plausibility “are insufficient to survive a motion to dismiss.”
Plaintiff claims that Game Changer breached the “Distribution Agreement by revealing and publicizing the terms of the Distribution Agreement to other promoters.” See Compl. ¶ 21. That is the entirety of Plaintiff’s allegation of this breach. Plaintiff does not include a single fact to support this naked assertion. Where, as here, Plaintiff pleads no facts “to move these claims ‘across the line from conceivable to plausible,’” the allegations are not sufficient to survive a motion to dismiss. Golod v. Bank of America Corp., 403 F. App’x 699, 703 (3rd Cir. 2010) (quoting Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 680 (2009)).
Secondly, even if Game Changer had breached its confidentiality obligations, IWTV has still failed to plead damages flowing from that breach. Again, the Complaint only claims damages in the form of lost profits, but nowhere does the Complaint even attempt to allege how Game Changer’s disclosure of certain contractual terms had somehow caused IWTV to lose profits. And without such a causal connection between breach and damages, IWTV’s claim fails.
Finally, IWTV’s allegation that Game Changer breached its confidentiality obligations is contradicted by the plain language of the contract. “Confidential Information” is defined by the contract to include only “information that is disclosed by or on behalf of one Party to the other Party.” Dist. Agreement claims that this provision was violated because Game Changer revealed the terms of the contract itself. This is obviously incorrect for a few independent reasons. The terms of the Distribution Agreement cannot constitute confidential information because those terms were not “disclosed by or on behalf of” IWTV to Game Changer.
Plainly, IWTV could not have “disclosed” to Game Changer terms which Game Changer supposedly participated in negotiating. In fact, “‘Confidential Information’ does not include information that . . . is rightfully known by the receiving Party at the time of disclosure without an obligation of confidentiality.”
Of course, even if this allegation that Game Changer violated the confidentiality provision of the agreement were true (and it is not), Game Changer had every right to utilize the Distribution Agreement, which by its terms is not confidential. Further, the confidentiality provision requires each party to “keep the other Party’s Confidential Information” safe. Id. § 8(b) (emphasis added). But the terms of a contract do not belong to one party or the other.
This confidentiality provision is clearly intended to protect information belonging to a single party that is disclosed to the other party for purposes of negotiation. It does not apply to a mutually executed agreement. The confidentiality provision therefore simply does not bar disclosure of the terms of the Distribution Agreement itself. Any cocontrary interpretation, in addition to contradicting the plain language of the agreement, would lead to absurd results. For example, the contract provides that “[t]he receiving Party shall return or delete all Confidential Information of the disclosing Party promptly upon request of the disclosing Party.” Id. § 8(b). Under IWTV’s interpretation, the terms of a contract to which Game Changer is a party somehow constitute “confidential information” owned by IWTV, which would mean that IWTV could require that Game Changer “return or delete” the contract itself.
Obviously, this cannot be right, because the contract does not treat its own terms as “confidential information” belonging to one party or the other. This alone is enough to doom IWTV’s attempt—recognizing the limitation on damages contained in the Distribution Agreement—to backdoor lost profits in through the confidentiality provision.
In the filing, GCW states that they informed IWTV in December 2020 they were seeking alternative platforms (they moved to FITE.TV) and that IWTV filed their lawsuit in June 2021. They also argued that many of the allegations against them were simply duplicates of other allegations and even alleged their original agreement was signed under duress.
IWTV, obviously, has yet to respond and the Court will not rule on the Motion until IWTV gets to have their argument filed before the court.
