Get ready for an intense clash as Robert 'Ego' Anthony challenges Mance Warner to an AAW Pure Rules Match at Never Say Die 2023. This adrenaline-pumping encounter is bound to keep you on the edge of your seats!
The rules are straightforward yet brutal:
Each wrestler has three rope breaks to stop submission holds and pinfalls. Once these are exhausted, submissions and pins on or under the ropes by the opponent are entirely legal.
Closed-fist punches to the face are not allowed - only open-handed slaps or chops. Punches to the rest of the body, excluding low blows, are fair game. The first use of a closed fist will warrant a warning, while the second one leads to an immediate disqualification.

Since this came up in my FB "Memories, I decided to post it here.
Back in 2018 I was writing a pro wrestling column for a fanzine based in Australia, it was sent out to people in that country, Canada, parts of the U.S. and other places. I was personally asked to write something about Dale Pierce who had passed away that year. Dale, his wife Denise Daliege-Pierce and I have known each other since the early 90's when I was writing about wrestling back then, as well as trading and selling wrestling tapes (which helped me get in behind the scenes with a couple indie wrestling companies in New England).
Dale helped in a lot f ways and I'll be in debt to him for the advice he gave me back then, some of which, I channeled it how I am now, still works.

Dave
Scherer, the owner of PWInsider continues to show why he is one of
the dumbest people walking the face of the earth. He is indeed, the ultimate hypocrite as you're about to see,. He says one thing but his
actions show what a hypocritical dumb ass he really is (which to most
who have put him in his place in the past, this comes as no
surprise).
I
had nothing to do with this, some pointed out something he pinned on
his twitter, and decided to call him out with articles from this very
site. Articles that show Scherer making a complete fool of him self,
along with how his site was, reported to the Better Business bureau
because PWInsider journalist Mike Johnson was caught several times
trying to scam PWInsider's "Elite" (paid) members.
Something Johnson has since stopped doing AFTER it was reported tat
he was reported to the Better Business Bureau mind you.
So
here's where Dave Scherer in a recent PWInsider Q&A admits he's a
coward, something I've known for years and have shown time and again.
Nice of him to finally admit it.
And here's what he 'claims' on his own Twitter page.
He claims he doesn't need to interact, BUT.. Look at this following email convo where Scherer deflects, avoids this issue that's brought up, and because Scherer thinks anyone and everyone who dares email or message this is from this site, Scherer winds up getting verbally slapped, smacked and 'checked'.
I wish I could've been part of this because I would've made him look even more like a goof. But as you can see, he doesn't need my help in that department. he has a masters degree in being a dumbass. He does very well on his own, hands down.
So if you ever want to make Dave Scherer look like a total moron, just email him. As you see, it doesn't take any effort to show what a total dumb ass Dave Scherer is.
