MLW's Richard Holliday made a surprise appearance at DEFY "Marauders" and the Seattle crowd was none too thrilled to witness his debut.
The incident happened after a segment where Rollins ambushed Finn Balor before their planned match. Rollins beat Balor in and out of the ring, and then made his exit as trainers checked on Balor in the ring. Rollins and a referee were walking up the ramp to the back as a fan ran down from the mid-level seating, and tackled Rollins. Rollins and the referee both went down with the man as security rushed over, as did WWE Producer & Hall of Famer Michael “PS” Hayes.
The camera quickly cut away from the fan attack as RAW went to replays of the Rollins – Balor segment. Rollins then laughed at Balor in the ring and talked some trash to the crowd before heading to the back, ending the segment.
Fans in attendance noted that security quickly dragged the man away.
This is what happens when dumb ass "marks' think, they're gonna "get themselves over:" by attacking a wrestler during a show. 99 % of the time the "Mark" always gets' checked. (Except in Charlie Haas's case where HE, got 'checked' by a fan. That story I covered here https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/06/charlie-haas-gets-punched-in-face-by.html and here https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/11/charlie-haas-on-getting-attacked-by-fan.html )
So another dipshit "mark" got his ass handed to him, Yes I do find it amusing just how dumb and stupid "marks" indeed are these days.

Dr Tom Prichard on Bill Watts' Rules For Working In Mid-South Wrestling
“I’ve only got two months left on my contract before I am completely fired,” Dalton said facetiously on The Gentlemen’s Club’s Night Cruisin’ podcast. “Ring Of Honor is giving us all the boot at the end of the year.”
Dalton Castle said there was a different mood in the air during the recent Ring Of Honor TV tapings. The company’s talent roster and staff learned last month that ROH will go on hiatus following the Final Battle pay per view on Saturday, December 11. ROH said it will be working to reimagine itself ahead of a relaunch currently planned for early next year. For many wrestlers on the current roster, the announcement likely means the end of their time working for ROH.
“It all feels meaningless actually,” Castle said. “We just did a recording, like, three days ago and it was weird because we showed up knowing our jobs are ending.”
Dalton Castle expressed his disappointment about Ring Of Honor undergoing such dramatic changes. Castle is a former ROH World Champion and also held the ROH World 6-Man Tag Team Titles. He said he’s still proud of his time in the company and looking forward to the Final Battle pay per view in December.
“I’m not mad at [Ring Of Honor],” Dalton explained. “Yes, maybe there are some decisions along the way when you look back in hindsight that probably led to this moment. But also, they’ve given me so much. I’ve always had such a great time and I’m still wrestling.”
“I’m not mad,” Dalton continued. “I’m sad. I’m sad to see something that I’ve loved for so long end.”
“They got mad when Briana got released that I called up to the office,” he admitted. “I was like, ‘I don’t understand why you’d release Briana when we are a foursome group.’ You take Briana out of the group and yeah, we’re still cool, and yeah, we can still do all the same things, but we are just every three-man wrestling group.”
That wasn’t the only incident that came from the release of B-Fab. This took place while the other group members stayed in WWE. Because of that, the company attempted to change the theme music for the faction due to her not being around. However, the rest of Hit Row ended up creating a new song on their own due to their rapping abilities.
“They were upset because when they took Briana out of the group, they wanted to re-do the song. So they did like a remix of the song, but the song doesn’t sound the same without her part of it. So what we did was, we went in the studio and made a new song,” he said. “I guess they were upset that we made a new song, but we are a rap group. How are we a rap group if we can’t make a song? Then we are just wrestlers.”

Now the two men will square off one-on-one as Sanada is looking to step out from the shadow of Muta and cleave his own path, while Muta seeks revenge for Sanada's disrespectful actions, leaving both men desiring to prove a point and establish themselves at the top of the food chain. - 2014.7.6

“All my life, I was a wannabe New Jack and I hated that. I hated it so much,” Homicide said. “Back in 1997, I had a show in Jersey All-Pro and I wrestled my friend Lowlife Louie. It was a hardcore match. It was a really crazy match and I had a machete, and there was a reporter who yelled out, ‘Oh, you want to be New Jack.’ I jumped over the guard rail with my machete and tried to cut him like Jason Vorhees. I was really crazy, like I didn’t want to hear that. I’m myself.
“I later wrestled New Jack. God bless him, rest in peace, we became good friends. We never had some kind of beef or whatever. He took me under his wing. A lot of people don’t know that he was going to take me to ECW at the time it closed down. We were supposed to be the New Gangstas and it all just went ‘boom!’ and fell off, you know?”
Homicide is best known for his runs with Ring of Honor and TNA (Impact Wrestling) during the mid-2000s, where he was a member of LAX. He revealed to Roberts that he almost had a different trajectory following WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley seeing one of his ROH matches.
“One day, I wrestled Colt Cabana in Ring of Honor in New York City,” Homicide said. “Mick Foley was there and he kind of digged it. He said, ‘Vince would like that. Here’s a number. You call John (Laurinaitis),’ at the time who was (the head of) talent relations, ‘You give him a call.’ I had to pick between TNA and WWE at the time, so I picked TNA because of the travel. I had a baby and everything, and I heard that WWE was chaos with traveling.
“I wanted something new and Konnan told me he had a new project called the Latin American Xchange. It’d be myself and a guy named Apollo from Puerto Rico, so I picked that. So the first time I went to TNA was December 29, 2005 and the first thing I did was attack Bullet Bob Armstrong and the Road Dogg, Jesse James.”
With Ring of Honor entering a hiatus following the conclusion of 2021 and not returning till April of 2021, it means there will likely be no 20th anniversary for the promotion, which formed in 2002. This is unfortunate for Homicide, who would’ve liked to have seen a situation where many stars of ROH’s past reunited for a 20th Anniversary show.
“I’m kind of sad that there’s not going to be a 20th anniversary,” Homicide said. “It’s going to be stuck at 19. but it is what it is. I’d have loved to see the old-school guys come to the 20th Anniversary Show. I’d love to have seen Samoa Joe, if he had gotten permission, to come. Maybe CM Punk, if he got permission from All Elite Wrestling, could’ve come to the show. Amazing Red, SATs, all those guys. It is what it is. The world is crazy man.”

New Japan Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling NOAH held a joint press conference this evening to announce they would be working together for the 1/8/22 Wrestle Kingdom 16 event at the Yokohama Arena, the third and final Wrestle Kingdom Dome show next year.
The idea is that the Yokohama event will not be a traditional NJPW production, but instead be billed as New Japan vs. Pro Wrestling NOAH, airing live on PPV in both Japanese and English before being made available for VOD via New Japan World. There is no word yet whether FITE.TV will carry the event.
No matches have yet been officially announced, but there will be interpromotional matches as well as stars from the two promotions teaming together. . A graphic for the event features NJPW's Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi and Shingo Takagi face to face with NOAH's Kaito Kiyomiya, Keiji Mutoh and Katsuhiko Nakajima.
The following English-subtitled video featuring NOAH and NJPW stars discussing the event has been released.

Taya Valkyrie aka the former Franky Monet in WWE NXT, who was released on 11/4, took to Twitter tonight to address WWE after they also cut her husband, John Morrison this evening:
Money wrote, "Stop supporting a company that has ZERO respect for their talent. You love pro wrestling, spend your money on the hundreds of other alternatives. This is wrong. Ethically, as employers they don’t care about us. Talent or fans."
And it looks like she was spit on since eight more taklents from the main roster are now out of job, with WWE hiding behind the bullshit excuse of "Budget Cuts".
Budget cuts my ass, all those profits they recently reported and of all the bullshit lies to hide behind, "Budget Cuts" is the best they can scrape up?
Just admit your "Creatively Challenged" Creative Department "has nothing forn them" because they're challenged to actually 'create' something that would get the talents over.
OOOHH, God forbid we have that, eh? "OOHH We can't have TTHHAATT come out", LOL.
Here's the list of Talents now having to look for a new job.
All three members of Hit Row- have been told to "hit the road", LOL.
Joining them on that road are,
*Tegan Knox.
*Drake Maverick.
*John Morrison.
*Jaxson Ryker.
*Shane Thorne aka Slapjack.
Guess Taya was right, then again WWE has proven people like her right all along. This is just the latest example.

Paul Heyman recently spoke with BT Sports’ Ariel Helwani and gave some thoughts on what AEW needs to do, and if he thinks AEW is a viable #2 pro wrestling company to WWE.
Helwani asked Heyman how he feels about what AEW is doing right now, and if he watches the product.
“They the fans or they, AEW the promotion?,” Heyman asked. “AEW the promotion. How do I feel that they’re doing?”
Helwani continued and asked Heyman if he thinks AEW is doing a good job, and if they’re being a viable #2 promotion.
“Oh they’re viable,” Heyman responded. “They are a viable entity, and God bless them for being there.”
Helwani then asked Heyman if he likes the AEW product.
“I’m not the audience, so it doesn’t… my personal opinion on their product… if I were to sit here and go, ‘My God, they’re great!’… who cares what I think?,” Heyman said. Helwani said he cares what Heyman thinks as one of the brightest minds in the business and Heyman continued, “But that’s just a personal opinion. They’re not geared towards me and if I sat there and went, ‘Oh my God, they suck, they’re horrible!’… I don’t think they should care about that either.”
Heyman continued, “It’s like when [UFC President] Dana White gave his opinion of WWE and it wasn’t flattering, and I was asked about it, and my answer was, ‘And? Who gives a f--k?’ I don’t think AEW should give a f--k what I think about them. They should care what the fans think, what their audience and what their potential audience thinks about them. Here’s who we have, we need to super-serve them, we need to make them continue to be loyal to us, and we need to expand that base. We need to take that person and lure them in, we need to find people who love WWE and lure them to our tribe, and we need to find people who have never seen sports entertainment/pro wrestling, combat sports, etc., etc., and lure them onto our show, for whatever reason we can justify them coming to pay to see our product. That should be their mission. What Paul Heyman thinks of them should be of no concern to them.”
