He had not talked about the subject publicly at all, although it had become clear that he would never be able to return to wrestle, which is what he’s done since he was very young, growing up as practically a member of the Hart family with Teddy Hart and Harry Smith, among others, before marrying into the family.

I am embarrassed that there's so many great wrestlers out there that have never been given their credit. Never got their due."

Hart went on to identify Ric Rude, the Fabulous Rougeaus, the Demolition and the Hart Foundation as deserving potential inductees. He was also critical of recent inductees the Freebirds:

"Why have they been overlooked when you can induct the Freebirds who never did squat in WWE? Ever. Never drew any money, never did anything. When I remember the Freebirds, they were all drunk and passed out at the gate at one of the airports in my first day in WWF. None of them even made the show that day, they were too drunk to make their plane."

Bret Hart on Andre the Giant "firing" The Freebirds, Owen Hart in the Hall of Fame:

"A few weeks later—when I was wrestling, I was just starting in WWF—they showed up at the building at about 9:30 in Providence, Rhode Island. And I remember Andre the Giant said 'you guys are fired,' and I remember Michael Hayes cutting a promo on Andre telling him 'you can't fire me,' and 'who do you think you are?' and 'we'll see who's fired tomorrow!' And I remember Andre saying 'we'll see who's fired tomorrow.' They were fired, they were gone the next day."

"I've always gotten along with [Michael Hayes], but as far as their contribution to wrestling, gimme a break. They were all pill heads and, for lack of a better word, they were all screw-ups.

"They're not picking the cream of the crop, they're picking whoever the first person they see on the list and they go 'he would be easy to fly in.'"

"If you're going to have a Hall of Fame, you've got to have Owen Hart in the Hall of Fame."

Hart has a petition online to get Owen Hart into the Hall of Fame which you can visit at OwenHartForHallofFame.com.

We were on our way over to Iraq, which is a really, really long flight. And we were actually flying from New Finland to Rammstein airforce base in Germany. This is like twelve hours into the flight, people passed out and lots of alcohol consumed. It was a C17 transport plane, a big, wide open plane. People are scattered all over the place. 90% of the people were sleeping. Vince, a sixty-five year old billionaire, was low-crawling around being super stealthy with a bag of hard candies tucked under his arm. He'd hide behind something, pop his head up, throw a candy at their face, then pop down again. They'd wake up, look around and see nothing then go back to sleep. Then he'd pop up and do it again. Just kept doing it.
Wacky Vince story from back in the day from a recent Mr. Kennedy AMA session on r/SquaredCircle.


Some other sheet news includes:
  • According to the Observer, TNA talent still haven't been told who helped fund the recent ppv and set of tv tapings. Also once again upset at the sheets doing a better job than management at keeping them up to date with TNA's issues.
  • Website GamesRadar had a recent interview with Big Show with topics including WWE 2k17 and what is his current favorite game to play. http://www.gamesradar.com/kanes-glov...stler-hygiene/
  • Amazon recently dropped the ability to pre-order Stephanie McMahon's upcoming book on their website due to the lack of a new release date.
  • Observer recently debunked rumors of the WWE wanting or already having Paul Heyman work on Creative for one of the brands.
  • Chris Jericho revealed his recently finished writing a new book with a planned May 2017 release. Unlike his previous books, this one will be a self-help type book.
  • According to the Observer, WWE is currently having problems selling tickets, mainly the expensive ones, for NXT's upcoming tour of Australia.

I assume that story about Tim Wiese means Epico, Primo & Bo Dallas. Carlito being back would be cool as hell though.

Nope. Im not a fan of the guy. He's trying to beef up a bit and has but still looks skinny. His in ring style reminds me of Daniel Bryan which could also be a reason I don't like him. Feel like he's in line for a big push in ROH and will probably be the one that beats Adam Cole for the ROH World title. I can stand him with Bobby Fish as Red Dragon but Fish is the better singles competitor between the two.

Fish has got something there. O'Reilly wants to be Bryan as badly as Drake wants to be Rock.

O'Reilly would work if he had a larger tag team partner. Someone like a War Machine guy to tag out to.

Almost immediately after her suspension was announced on Monday, Paige spoke out on Twitter. "Same sh*t different day. Kids..Please don't get prescriptions or doctors notes. Not acceptable." Paige tweeted. "Rules apply depending on your status."

Her comments were then followed on on by her family, with her father posting on Facebook that Paige has had a long-term neck injury that he didn't feel was being dealt with. He claimed that she had been prescribed painkillers that were apparently against the wellness program.

As of right now, there is no word on whether he'll need surgery, which could force a change in the main event.

The episode is set up by a Matt Hardy promo where he invites tag teams from around "time and space" to compete in the main event of the episode, Tag Team Apocalypto. We are told that this is going to be a Falls Count Anywhere on the compound match. During the promo, Hardy invited "The Bucks of Youth", "The Express who Rocks and Rolls", "The Bulldogs who are British" and "The Days of The New." The idea is that TNA will be bringing outside teams in for the match. We have confirmed that Jeremy Borash and Matt Hardy have been contacting outside teams over the last few days to book them for the taping.

The episode will also feature the "in-ring debut" of King Maxel, the son of Matt and Reby Hardy as well as a planned "match" between Grado and Smoking Joe Frazier, the kangaroo that appeared before "Delete or Decay" with the story being that he is the reincarnation of boxing great Frazier.

WWE sources indicate that several segments early on in the Smackdown Live broadcast ran over their alloted time, requiring later segments to be trimmed and Hawkins' segment to be cut. The plan is for the debut to happen next week.

Guess WWE really does count multi-man events as actual main events even though everyone else only counts the final match for official records. Would be the 2nd time Cena has broken the record due to Triple H and Taker retaking it during the last two years.

When asked if he called the police, Del Rio said that he didn't want to talk about it anymore and only put it out there out of respect for Dorian Roldan, the promoter of AAA. He said that the problem with putting something out there on the internet is that people make assumptions and try to tell a different story.

Dave Meltzer wrote in last week's edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the San Antonio police department has not responded to requests for any records regarding the incident, nor did they confirm that they have records of it.

The alleged incident caused Del Rio to miss AAA's Heroes Inmortales show earlier this month.

Also in the interview with TMZ, Del Rio commented on what's next for his career in pro wrestling. He claimed that he will be working dates for Ring of Honor, as well as TNA if they get the money to pay him. Del Rio made similar comments in a separate interview with ESPN.

Corgan then wanted them to pay him back the money he had put into the company in funding the recent tapings and obviously they couldn't do it. Corgan was asking for an injunction and will have a hearing on it this coming Thursday at 11:30 a.m. Corgan is requesting a jury trial. There are also issues with music rights for the show that airs tonight to the point at one point there was a question if Pop would air the show but the show is airing. The lawsuit being filed was not a surprise but everyone involved has gone silent since the suit was filed. There are also claims that in negotiations that key financial information was withheld.

Broadhead continued to stall them from collecting. Broadhead on January 29, 2016, paid some of the workers a total of $29,001.57. Broadhead then proposed a payment plan for six payments from March through August. TNA made the first payment but haven't paid anything since, according to the complaint. They are asking for the remaining owed $222,123.43 plus interest.

But the company still owes a lot of money to several different people.

Aroluxe and Corgan are still both in the game in regards to buying the company, but things are reportedly heated behind the scenes involving Dixie Carter, Billy Corgan, Aroluxe and John Gaburick. There is a lot of heat on Carter for not getting deals done and the vibe was said to be depressing. The other group that was reportedly interested (that wanted to do live events and expand the company) is out of the running to buy the company. WWE is also said to be out of the picture right now.

There is no word on where the money came from to finance Bound for Glory and the TV tapings, but it was likely one of the three minority owners; Fight Network, Corgan or Aroluxe. Talent is hoping that Corgan gets the company, and are aware of how bad the situation is right now. The blame for the Carter/Corgan talks going south is on Carter with talent feeling that she had been deceptive and that she didn’t address any issues before the PPV. Some even thought that she was “playing dumb” to avoid addressing the situation.

Talent on guaranteed deals are scheduled to be paid on October 15th and the 30th. The talent not on guarantees and production people are also owed money for the last tapings.
Update regarding the mess involving TNA trying to get new ownership.

"I have been hesitant to write this article, because one of the people advancing the opinion of Seth as unsafe is "Hitman" Bret Hart, a WWE Hall of Famer, certified legend, and one of the elite performers in the history of our business. I have nothing but respect for Bret and count him as a good friend going back 20 years. Let me make it very clear that I have absolutely no desire to get into any social media feud with Bret Hart. But because Bret is so highly thought of in the wrestling community, his words carry an incredible amount of weight, and that reputations of Rollins as a dangerous performer has been gaining momentum. I won't even pretend that I am the player in this business that Bret is, but I know quite a few people respect my viewpoint, and I feel like I owe it to Seth, and the fans who make his living possible, to share my feelings, and hope they are considered before a verdict on the safety of Seth Rollins is reached.

The evidence against Seth seems to focus on the two injuries from the Rollins "turnbuckle bomb", to Sting and Finn Balor, and the broken nose John Cena suffered in a match with Seth. I wrote about that injury to Sting in a Facebook post from September, 2015, in which I opined that certain moves become more and more difficult to pull off and to absorb as safely as we age. I speculated that while the old adage "the legs are the first to go" for a boxer at age 30, that in pro-wrestling, it's the muscles of the neck - so necessary for keeping the chin tucked firmly to the chest during landings - that may be the first to go. This could very well have been the reason why the Rolins turnbuckle bomb, used safely on hundreds of occasions, created a whiplash effect in the neck of Sting, 56 years old at the time of the match. In my opinion, the injury was not Seth's fault, not Sting's fault, or WWE's fault; it simply may have been a case of trying to push back the hands of time a little too far, a little too fast ...

The broken nose to Cena was just an accident. I broke Goldust's nose in WCW by accident, while Vader broke mine on purpose a few months later. Goldust does not blame me, and I do not blame Vader.

Sometimes, injuries just happen. It's part of what we do. Seth Rollins is a safe wrestler. He works an intense, highly physical style, as do most of the WWE Superstars. Those moves look good for a reason; there's a sense of realism to so many of them – a realism that is absolutely necessary in today's day and age, when there is such a vast array of alternatives to watch on television, tablets, laptops, YouTube – and even our own WWE network. Current fans often express their discontent with the direction of the company, especially the direction of Raw. That's fine. Sometimes I think the discontent is a little overblown, but I can live with it. But man, does it bother me when people overlook hard work, dedication and the willingness to try new things, often at great expense to themselves that today's WWE Superstars endure in their effort to excite, excel and entertain. Seth Rollins embodies this spirit. He deserves to be remembered for his dedication to his craft, and for his willingness to go above and beyond to participate in great matches for WWE fans around the world. That's the Seth Rollins you need to know - the real guy, not the rep!"

Sounds interesting but I get the feeling it'll be a short lived (probably two months) thing that'll be shown every Saturday at 7:00 before Britain's Got Talent at 8:00.

Stephen Mulhern will probably present it as he's the "go-to guy" when it comes to ITV shows.

I don't see why ITV don't just sign a television contract with ICW and show Fight Club at 10pm on a Saturday night.

A correction from last night's show is that MCC Acquisitions Corporation was listed as being owed money as of 9/30. Keep in mind that 9/29 was when the money came in to allow them to tape. MCC Acquisitions shares the same physical address as Anthem Sports and Entertainment, which is the parent company of The Fight Network. On last night's show, we said it was Anthem Sports that was just owed more money based on filings on 9/30. Anthem Sports is owed money as well. David Bixenspan and Kris Zellner have the story.

The total debt owed by TNA to Aroluxe, Anthem and MCC Acquisitions is listed at $3.4 million. TNA has already sold some of its tape library to Anthem.

The latest is a story by David Bixenspan who found out that the Davidson County Register of Deeds and the State of Tennessee had issued a tax lien against TNA Entertainment, LLC on 9/8. The company owes back taxes in an amount unspecified and got so far behind in paying it that the state has the right to seize company property if the debt isn't repaid. While the company is no longer TNA Entertainment, LLC, now called Impact Ventures LLC, Tennessee law allows the government to go after successor companies. It's a financial disaster, between this, getting evicted from their offices due to being unable to pay rent several months ago, and Corgan's attempt to buy the company falling apart.

The New York Post featured an article on Billy Corgan filing a lawsuit against TNA, Dixie Carter, etc. The article claimed that Corgan was upset because his investment in the company did not gain him a "majority stake as he had been promised." The article quoted a source noting, "He expected to have more control after investing in TNA but it hasn’t turned out that way.” The odd thing about that quote is Corgan became President of the company and is currently the final word on the creative team, so the idea that he didn't have enough control just seems off.

There were some in the production circle grumbling about Corgan because of the extra work but to be fair, if there wasn't a question about the rights to begin with, no additional editing would have been necessary. If the music returns down the line, that means TNA and Oliver were able to come to terms. We are told that Serg Salinas, Dixie Carter's husband, would be who oversees TNA's musical rights.

According to the Observer, several are already rumored to be preparing to leave the company after next week.

The entirety of the punishment that Sydal could face isn't immediately clear, but Japan is known to have strict drug laws. And he faces a potential, if not likely ban from the country.

As things stand right now, this will be the only Raw where both Lesnar and Goldberg appear.

Both will be on alternate Raws over the next few weeks, while neither are scheduled for the November 7th show in Glasgow, Scotland.

As it appeared from watching TV, they were building the three-way but when the decision was made to put it in the Cell, they dropped the idea. It is possible he could be inserted into the match as a referee, because he’s all over that match’s storyline.

Some other sheet news includes:
  • Based on a recent report from SEScoops, TNA is likely facing a third lawsuit within the near future over money owed and Aroluxe Media likely was the mysterious investor who funded their recent ppv and tapings. http://www.sescoops.com/exclusive-wh...-corgan-money/
  • According to the Observer, the secrecy by Dixie and a few others in TNA regarding the mysterious investor even extends to most of TNA's upper management still are unaware or haven't being told who actually funded the recent ppv and tv tapings. Current speculation is Aroluxe based on recent financial files.
  • Based on recent speculation around the net, Billy Corgan is estimated to have spent between $2 million to $3 million funding TNA's tapings prior to this month and push to become its new owner.
  • WWE revealed Bruno Sammartino will be next week's guest for Legends With JBL show.

I honestly think the idea is solid. You know Vince would negotiate it out that The New Day would be the ones to go over. It would get other teams some spot light, teams that WWE might consider picking up when TNA goes belly up. It gets Matt on RAW for a little bit, and while that may not seem like a big deal, it will get a little ratings boost, will get the crowd super hot, and if they played the segment right and intended to bring the Hardys back, then it could be the start of something epic.

I mean honestly Broken Matt would get interrupted by Bray and we could have the most fucked up and entertaining segment ever.

The claim is that the company agreed to payments on the receipt of monthly billing statements as well as to pay court costs if the case went to court. It claimed the agreement included that the defendants were to pay all reasonable costs when it came to American Express collecting the money owed, including finance charges and delinquency frees.

The lawsuit asked for payment of the $269,049.50 as well all legal costs for having to go to court and rectify the bill.
Apparently another reason for the lawsuit is because TNA forgot to tell them their offices moved to a new location so American Express kept sending bills to the old place and never getting any response in return.

Banks vs. Charlotte will also be the first ever women's match to take place inside of Hell in a Cell. Banks will be defending her Raw Women's Championship against Charlotte in the match.

Foley's Facebook post: "Forget for a moment about Stephanie McMahon's jumping high-five or my awkward attempt to hug the #RAW Comissioner. The biggest moment of the night for us came when the #WWE cameras were off, and Stephanie and I just looked at the #HIAC poster, realizing that for #WomensWrestling, history is upon us - as Sasha Banks and Charlotte will main event the #HIAC PPV. I am so happy for Sasha, for Charlotte, for all the women who paved the way, and all those who aspire to follow in their footsteps. It is no exaggeration to say that looking at that poster gave me chills...and they were multiplying."

Hell in a Cell is scheduled for October 30th in Boston, MA.

UPDATE: Foley posted a clarification on Facebook, noting that the match order for Hell in a Cell is not yet final: "The match order for #HIAC Will probably not be finalized until hours before the actual show, so each member of the WWE Universe can decide for themselves what their main event is. Regardless of where the women's match is placed on the card, both Sasha and Charlotte should absolutely feel like they are the main event -- as should Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins. It's a competitive business, and that competitive spirit should bring out the best in everyone on October 30th."

Some other sheet news includes:
  • CBS Boston had a recent interview with James Ellsworth: http://boston.cbslocal.com/2016/10/1...unlikely-star/
  • Observer is currently speculating TNA might be filing for bankruptcy soon but would probably drag out the official announcement since Dixie wouldn't want to take all the blame for its downfall.
  • ROH recently signed a tv deal in Portugal with Sport TV which is the biggest sports channel in the country. Currently expected to start airing shows this week.
  • Observer currently debunking rumors of Papa Shango's curse claiming Bayley as its newest victim. Speculation started after WWE reported Bayley went to doctors after her match against Dana and the odd way the match ended.
  • WWE is currently selling James Ellsworth merch on WWEShop: http://shop.wwe.com/james-ellsworth-...rt/W12527.html
  • According to SEScoops, its possible TNA could face a 5th lawsuit depending on what happens to the American Express lawsuit. It involves one of TNA's management needing to use a personal credit card to cover travel expenses when American Express cut off TNA's buisness card with the company. http://www.sescoops.com/update-on-am...her-tna-debts/

Yeah, looked and sounded painful.

It looks like he bashed his head with some speed and force on the rim of the metal LED post.

Anthem is also offering to fund TNA in order to repay the loans of Billy Corgan
— Live Audio Wrestling (@LAWradio) October 19, 2016

Anthem refers to Anthem Sports and Entertainment Corp, the parent company of The Fight Network, which acquired a minority stake in TNA several months back as part of a deal that saw them receive the worldwide streaming rights to the TNA Library. It should be noted that the financing for the most recent batch of TNA Impact Wrestling tapings, as well as the 10/2 Bound for Glory PPV came from MCC Acquisitions Corp. in Canada. MMC's address is exactly the same as Anthem Sports and Entertainment Corp.
Being reported Fight Network now owns the US tv rights to TNA as part of the deal. Could be a potential sign for TNA's future on POP TV since that deal is on a year-to-year basis.

Viewers with a keen eye noticed the 24-year-old was absent from recent show promos — including the full cast commercial shoot — but we’re told it was due to her injury.

Our sources say the suspended wrestler was at the doctor when they were filming the footage.

No word on how much the relationship will continue to be shown after the first few episodes, since that’s all they’ve completed in the editing room at this point.

The storyline he pitched to Vince McMahon for a Lesnar match:

“The last year I was in WWE, myself and Hunter, myself and Vince, had a lot of conversations about the contract and creative issues. One of the ideas I had – and there were several WWE Superstars I am friends with I shared the idea with – they thought it was an amazing, creative angle. I went to Vince. I had been asking for Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania the last three years. I told Vince you have to build this up properly. I told him it will break records if you build it up properly. I go, you need to let me go away for six months. I live in Las Vegas. MMA is hugely insanely popular. It’s the breeding ground. Let me join a training camp full time for six months. We’ll make it look like I’m about to go do a real fight. I’ll come back and challenge Brock Lesnar to a fight at WrestleMania. The way that I look, people already buy into it. Now I add the other skills into the mix and people already know Lesnar’s MMA background. Now I say we have a WrestleMania-worthy match. Vince, it went right over his head. I remember sitting there dumbfounded. Jesus Christ, you can’t f***ing be this out of touch! Maybe he didn’t want me to go away for six months.”
Wacky Ryback and Vince story from back in the day.

Some of the guys in NXT really don't need to be down there. You don't need to re-train Hideo Itami to be a "WWE-style wrestler." You signed him because he's fucking KENTA. He's not going to learn fluent English and cut Rock-style promos in whatever time there is left in his career.

Some guys you just need to say "Alright, go" with. Give them vignettes, promote what they can do and why they've been signed, and then let them sink or swim. Every time I see Nakamura put in a chinlock by a jobber in NXT a part of me dies. Developmental should be guys you are looking to tweak the gimmicks of or definitely need more time in the cooker, or great wrestlers that you want to recharge. Guys like Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus, Epico & Primo once upon a time, etc. Guys winding down their careers but aren't ready to completely call it quits but will benefit with a schedule with less travel -- Goldust, R-Truth, etc.

The guys that are ready to go NOW and are ready to make money NOW need to be up on the main roster being given the best chance they can be given in order to have that success -- instead of being dropped on their heads by guys who aren't really ready to get out of beginners' class.

Hideo Itami does kind of need to be in NXT. I'd agree with you if you were talking about Shinsuke, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, or maybe even Austin Aries. But what match has Hideo Itami had in WWE yet that has actually been talked about? I get that he's been injured for the better part of a year, but he was there a while before he got injured the first time.

I was starting to sour on KENTA before he came to WWE. His best years were 2005-2010. He's never been the same since he tore his ACL before coming to WWE.

Also Daniel Bryan retiring really hurts Hideo Itami's appeal. I remember when they signed KENTA there was one match I wanted to see him involved in at WrestleMania; Hideo Itami vs. Daniel Bryan. They had two classics in ROH, the one from Glory By Honor V Night 2 is considered to be the best match in company history by quite a few. They also had quite a few awesome battles in Noah in Japan, I believe one even went 60 minutes. There styles meshed so well. It's a shame we'll never get to see what they could do in a WWE environment.

He wrestled an event there but I assume Meltzer is also including the ROH-NJPW stuff that occured in the US for him being able to mesh well with puro style.
