so how are they able to charge for this because AFAIK, Steen is under contract to ROH and Fox, Swann and Gargano are to WWNLive or whatever the gently caress

RoH and Gabe fed guys have done Chikara PPVs. I think the prohibition applies more to the other side than other indies.

AIW was able to a few times then they got the no go from ROH at least. I don't think Gabe really cares other than no ROH tbh.

You should go. It's going to be a great show and if you don't book your tickets now you won't be able as they always sell out

So apparently Jeff Jarrett going down to IWA-Mid South didn't work out so well:

quote:

John Williams (Ian Rotten)

about an hour ago.


So, I will address the 500 lb elephant in the room in full.

Jeff Jarrett was paid half of his money tonight and was told he would get the rest of it in 2 or 3 days as through one way or another, or just plain stupidity, we forgot to get the advance money out of PayPal. I know it sounds incredibly stupid, but it occurred. Am I embarrassed about it? Yes, but a very intoxicated Jeff Jarretts actions... to follow would be absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for. INCLUDING knocking the glasses off of John Calvins face, taking said glasses, and for a time period threatening to not give them back and break them. Screaming at numerous people in the dressing room that it was their fault, they were behind it like some paranoid coked out raging idiot. Not saying he WAS coked out, but I will say he was drunk, him and Karen both and I have a locker room full of people that will back me up on it.

Jeff Jarrett will get his money in a couple days as promised, then he can spend it on a defense attorney as I will be going to the sheriffs department to swear a warrant out on him tomorrow for assault on a minor. This was not some wrestling angle or anything of that nature, and he had no right to take it out on anyone else but me. Don't get me wrong, I was wrong. We should have had that taken care of, but Jeffs actions after that along with Karen insisting on going out to the ring to interrupt Drakes speech was absolutely despicable. That is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

I need a video of all of this immediately.

I'm not familiar with the US' legal system, but "knocking off sunglasses"="assault on a minor"? I assume Rotten is just full of poo poo as usual, and something like that isn't really an assault per law, is it?

if he struck the kid, its assault. IIRC John Calvin is in his 20s though?

According to the reports that are spreading across the internet Calvin is 17.

Which is funny as I'm sure he's been 17 now for a few years.

I've only watched the DVD's so far but it seems really good. Some of the best British/Irish talent and a pretty good crowd. They announced Devitt is facing Zack Sabre Jr. on the 18th May, but i think tickets might be sold out now.

RevPro is also pretty good and does shows in London. They have Nakamura vs. Zack Sabre Jr. in June.

He's great in a tag team with Davey Boy Smith Jr and when going against 10+ year Japanese veterans. Against indie geeks I don't expect much.

Yeah I wanted to go to that RevPro show as I think Steen is on the card too, but I'm out of town that weekend.

Nevertheless I took apsouthern's advice and got tickets for me and gf for PROGRESS 13 so I'll be there to see Devitt and Zack. It'll be her first wrestling show ever and mine since the days of 1PW in Doncaster.

I haven't seen anything from GFW. Hoyt's Twitter has that photo of him with the Jarretts and Burke and the caption, "What could this Pic be saying!" along with a bunch of retweets of fan speculation and random GFW stuff.

So he's pretty much in, but I wouldn't call it an official announcement.

This show just had Chris Sabin added to it, and it's super likely that he'll have a match against Okada, Nakamura or Tanahashi, which I am very excited about.

The ISW crew answered questions on reddit.

Highlight was the booker's top Steve The Turtle moments.

quote:

1- Not wanting to lose to Giant Tiger. 2- Cutting a promo about a cage match with Eddie Kingston that we never booked. 3 - Noticing a run in Addy's hose while she was wrestling, and telling her after the match. The run was around her crotch, and he would have had to stare real hard to notice it. 4 - His entrance in Hartford. Drove his car right into the venue. It was amazing. 5 - He told me the other day that he really wants to gently caress Sara Palin.

Baldip's follow up:

An honorable mention from me: back in February when Beyond had the show where the ring broke, he was put in charge of running the crew to go get the replacement ring from a nearby school. From what I heard, he nearly got in a head-on accident with a fan while speeding down the highway at ridiculous speeds and swerving into oncoming traffic.
