I'm still scratching my head over a 60+ year old Brutus being the headline attraction every single night of a month long tour.

Eh, he was only part of what drew people in. Danny also booked the Kingdom and some guys from DDT, I think he knows booking 80's WWF guys is a niche thing, just like the other stuff is niche.

It's not like they were having him wrestle 10-12 minute matches, either. He's a guest ringside enforcer. They're using nostalgia as a draw, it's a indy wrestling trope at this point.

Supposedly they fell out because Brutus was selling fake autographed 8x10's of Hogan without Hogan's knowledge.

The craziest Brutus interview was the one where he outed The Rockers drugging and raping women. Of course he was telling it as a "hilarious" road story.

He comes off like such a bored dipshit here, but the guy promoting the events comes off well and seems personable enough to cover for Brutus.

Danny's a nice man and, believe it or not, a pretty good promoter and a decent wrestler (he's a student of Hotshot Johnny Devine, who I always thought was underrated). I know people are baffled by him booking Brutus and I sorta get it, but they regularly sell out their shows, the one I attended (the first one Brutus bailed on) necessitated putting out more chairs a couple times and had a fun main event of The Kingdom vs Team DDT. Thankfully, Marseglia mostly only came in for double teams.

Oh and just to twist the knife in case you missed this part of his statement: Danny has a very pregnant girlfriend right now. So he's out 1K with a kid on the way. Nice one, Brutus. Thankfully he has 2 other businesses (he's a personal trainer and he also sells wrestling merch in Winnipeg).

quote:

-We are sorry to inform you that Impact Wrestling has pulled LAX off the upcoming EVOLVE dates. EVOLVE officials were contacted by LAX and informed that they were needed for something else that weekend. No other explanation was given. Impact Wrestling didn't contact EVOLVE officials and left it up to LAX. There is no heat on LAX as WWN understands the situation they were put in. EVOLVE officials had told LAX that the plan was to have matches with EVOLVE Tag Team Champions The Street Profits of Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins that weekend. EVOLVE was informed that LAX would not be able to lose in those matches. In order to avoid any political issues, EVOLVE made one night a triple threat match and the other night a six man tag. This would give the fans the LAX vs. Street Profits matches they wanted, while protecting all parties politically. Unfortunately, Impact Wrestling waited until the matches were announced and then pulled the talent the next day. This all could have easily been avoided by not allowing LAX to take the dates in the first place. EVOLVE will no longer consider booking Impact Wrestling contracted talent moving forward. EVOLVE officials are currently working on a replacement and will have news early next week. We apologize for the lineup change, but assure you that EVOLVE will produce something special on for EVOLVE 117 December 15th in Queens, NY and EVOLVE 118 on December 16th in Deer Park, NY. Thank you for your support.

Yeah, seriously, who the hell is the fan for whom "Brutus Beefcake will be there!" is the key bit which sells the show to them? And are there really enough of those people to justify the expense of hiring him?

Given WWE having agreements with various wrestling companies around the world, PWG has got to be considered as one of those companies that has an agreement with WWE, right?

The only working agreement WWE has with PWG is a seaon ticket with backstage access for William Regal, but that's it.

Pretty sure the only WWE wrestler in BOLA this year was Travis Banks who pulled out anyway. They'll probably just rely more on Japanese/Mexican imports like they did this year.

I'll take KK's word over Bruti's and I already know those far north tours take you to some fringey bits of human civilization so I'm willing to concede that Brutus might be in the right of it. The bit about the naked dude in his room is pretty bonkers tho
