General Wrestling Discussion

To be fair, it's hard for the Women's Division to find its feet with the booking tug of war between HHH's workrate-centric hiring, Steph's ego-driven she-volution, and Vince still pushing girls based on which ones his dick reacts best to.
 
So according to this article, WWE HOFer Tito Santana didn't like the matador gimmick:

"It was one of my least-favorite gimmicks, I never liked it. They promised me they were gonna do something with it so I went along with it and I tried my best to do the best job as I could as El Matador. But they never really had intentions to do anything with it. Of course it left a rotten taste in my mouth."

Summerslam today's pretty fun so far. Disappointed at the Bludgeon's DQ finish and how short the Strowman match was.

I'm kind of lookking forward to the Universal Title match, but they should have waited on that Heyman swerve they did on the last Raw.
 
Billy Corgan Says He Was "Borderline Criminally Decieved" In TNA

www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2018/0816/644855/billy-corgan-says-he-was-borderline-criminally-deceived-at-the/

Billy Corgan announced a resolution to his lawsuit against Impact Wrestling on November 28th, 2016, but the sting from the messy business venture hit the NWA owner on a personal level.

Corgan sued Impact Wrestling (then TNA) for unpaid loans of $1.8 million after the company failed to repay him in a timely manner. He was made the president of the company in August 2016 bringing a cash infusion with him that Impact desperately needed. Impact Wrestling executives including Dixie Carter decided to seek out other sources of cash flow a few months after Corgan's entrance, eventually finding an answer in Anthem Sports.

"Oh yeah," Corgan said on Busted Open Radio when asked if his final days with Impact Wrestling got personal. "To put it simply I was completely deceived by people I thought were my friends. We're not just talking about people who are business associates, we're talking about going to people's houses, playing with their kids. In some cases, staying in their houses.

"To realize that they have no problem stabbing you in the back, that was pretty shocking to me. You know, look life happens. Things happen, but that was some pretty scummy stuff."

TNA and Anthem Sports issued a joint statement on November 3rd, 2016 saying Corgan was no longer with the company. This didn't solve the dilemma that Corgan was still owed repayment for his substantial loan.

At the time of their settlement, Anthem vice-president Ed Nordholm spoke about the satisfying conclusion of the company's legal issues with Corgan.

"We are pleased to conclude these arrangements with Mr. Corgan," Nordholm said. "The events leading to litigation were unfortunate but also reflected all parties' desire in good faith to support the company. The arrangements we have made with Mr. Corgan respect all parties' gratitude for his contributions to Impact Wrestling, both creatively and financially. We can now close this chapter and look forward to making Impact Wrestling a leader in the professional wrestling world."

While on Busted Open Radio, Corgan said situations and entire events were fabricated by people the Tonight, Tonight singer thought he could trust. He soon found himself living in a "wacky world" where he felt wronged to a criminal extent.

"The numbers are out there," Corgan continued. "I had put $1.8 million of my own cash into the company. There are literally where if I didn't put the money in the company would have been shut down. There would be no Impact Wrestling today if I didn't write a check on that particular day.

"What was weird to me was not only that I was being deceived in my estimation fraudulently, you know borderline criminal. In fact, I even talked to authorities whether there was criminality involved and there were differing opinions about actual criminality. Then once it went into more of a legal process because that was advised by attorneys the most likely way to recover my money which I ultimately did.

"What was even more shocking was watching people that you had considered only months before literally inventing stories out of whole cloth. I mean literally inventing situations and scenarios that didn't happen. Then you start getting into like, 'wow, I'm in a bad Vince Russo wrestling angle here, like, did Vince book this s--t?' It was like 'you've got to be kidding me,' it was wacky world."

Corgan currently owns the National Wrestling Alliance. After announcing his purchase on October 2nd, 2017, Corgan has focused on reviving the once-flourishing company's brand. Nick Aldis, the current NWA World Heavyweight Champion is set to defend his title against Cody Rhodes on September 1st at the All In event.

I've come to love the absolute relentless nature of Vince's insistence on continuing to push Roman. I find it actually amusing that in all these moments that should be memorable are just boo fests or lukewarm.
 
I'm just glad he's finally the champion like he should have been earlier in this push. He just wasn't that believable as the Daniel Bryan type underdog they've been writing and booking him as.

I still want Braun to cash in soon.
 
DDP says they asked Austin to do the stalker angle first

wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2018/0818/644924/diamond-dallas-page-says-another-wwe-star-was-to-be-involved-in/

"I hated the idea at first, i'm trying to be a team player and this is Hollywood so to speak, we're trying to blur the lines of reality and not reality - you're not really stalking her - but that's the role you want me to play in a world where some people believe what the shit is! When you're doing something like a stalker idea, they built this storyline and couldn't get anybody to do it - that's the real deal. They wanted Steve Austin to do it. And Austin is like 'f*** that!' and he told me about that later and I was like 'You couldn't have called me up and said that to me?!'"

"But, the bottom line was, I thought they were trying to 'make us' going in there, because there was no more WCW, but that was not the deal. The deal was, and it had nothing to do with me personally, it could have been Sting, or Goldberg - whoever the stalker was, was going to get fed to whoever it was in the angle because it was ego and it was business."

Didn't Billy have a chance to invest in ECW, but he didn't think the company was worth anything?

I would imagine floating Paul Heyman would make more sense than floating TNA. But I am not rich so what do I know...
 
So they had to remove the crowds chants on Raw after they started chanting "You still suck!" and throw in generic crowd cheering (the "rarrrr" chant you always here is often faked) how sad. Bad enough they're continuing to ruin Seth and Dean to get people to cheer Roman. An eleven year old boy got more of a reaction than Roman in two appearances than Roman did in four PVP's.

Today I got banned from CageSideSeats for making a post about Charlotte Flair's PPV record that said "That's what happens when you let a man compete in the women's division".

Villano III (Arturo Díaz Mendoza), one of the great stars of the old LLI (UWA) promotion in Mexico has died. He was part of the legendary Mendoza wrestling family. His father was the legendary Ray Mendoza. His brothers were Villanos I, II, IV, and V. Villano III was probably the biggest star of all of the Villanos. Note that Villano III was not one of the Villanos who regularly competed in WCW.

iirc he was one of the Villanos in that bad-even-for-old-man-lucha Triplemania match of Villanos vs Psycho Circus, though

Some matches from better times

his mask match against Atlantis

a mask vs hair match against Rambo, a guy he took the mask of previously

So I've heard generally good things about DDP Yoga, Is it a good workout to use to stay healthy?

Yeah, my wife is a personal trainer and it's the work out we've been doing at home 4 days a week for about 2 years because it straddles that line between good cardio and won't make you hurt two hours later
