Kurt Angle Says He’s Not Retiring, Talks A Concussion In WWE, His Health, More (Video Included)

0

Kurt Angle recently spoke with ESPN in the UK. Below are highlights, the full video can be viewed above:

His status:

“Wrestling has treated me very well. I had a great time in WWE, I had a great time in TNA. I’m very proud of my accomplishments, but I’m at a point in my life where, right now, family is more important, and it’s time for me to spend more time with them.”

“I’m gonna take a break from [professional] wrestling, I know that for sure, at least a year. So we’ll see how it goes and I’ll go from there. I’m not gonna say I’m gonna retire. I am pretty much done with TNA. Not sure, maybe down the road, maybe I might come back, but most likely I probably won’t, because there’s a chance that I might not wrestle again. I just wanna get a feeler this year and see what I wanna do and see where I wanna go.”

His health:

“I feel it now [the injuries] … and I don’t regret anything I’ve done, in amateur wrestling or pro wrestling. I’m 47 years old and I have my pains and aches just like anybody else but the thing is, I can still go in that ring. I’m as good as anybody if not better. Even at 47, I’m at the top of my game, so the only thing I need is a little bit more time to recuperate, but other than that I can put on the five-star matches. So I’m not really concerned about my performance, I’m more concerned about how I’m gonna feel for the next 30, 40 years.”

Suffering a concussion at SummerSlam 2000 against Triple H:

“There was a spot where Triple H was going to hit me with his sledgehammer, but I had the concussion and didn’t even know I was out there. My mind was blank. I came to two hours after the pay-per-view. When Triple H was going to hit me, but he actually put his hand on my head and made sure I ducked. If you watch it over, you’ll see that I was clueless, but he was looking out for me the whole match. They literally had to walk me through every step of the match to make sure I was safe. I don’t remember any of it.”

1995-07-15 Slammin’ (matches taped various dates at Silver Nugget Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nv)

Champion: Sabu

‘The Doctor’ TC Martin and Al Lorenz welcome us to the show and run down what we are going to see tonight.

Zuma vs. Samurai Warrior, ref Jesse Hernandez (1995-05-12)
Zuma is a surfer, he would go onto greater fame as Tom Howard. There were so many surfing wrestlers around this time frame. Warrior with the early advantage but he goes up top and Zuma does a handstand on the buckle in ranas Warrior down. Butterfly suplex and tiltawhirl slam follow. Zuma goes to the apron and springboards into the ring with a shoulder tackle. Zuma off the ropes with an elbow drop and he goes to the apron. Spring board into a sunset flip but they end up tangled in the ropes. Zuma with a japanese arm drag and clothesline. Drop kick sends Warrior over the top and to the floor. Zuma goes up top and comes off with a somersault senton to the floor! Warrior sent into the ring post and then Zuma throws him back in the ring and again goes for the springboard sunset flip. Warrior ready for it this time and he nails Zuma. Zuma though immediately comes back with a head scissor and another japanese arm drag. Zuma follows it with a rana and goes back up top. Another somersault senton. Zuma with a jackknife pin for the 1, 2, 3 in 5.28.

Bill Anderson hypes July 22nd and brings in Honky Tonk Man. Honky says he signed with NWC because it’s the greatest wrestling organization of all time. Honky rants and raves again about how Warrior beat him 7 years ago.

TC Martin is at his desk and he shuffles a bunch of papers around and says everyone is talking about the NWC. Martin says NWC is for the fans and they should write in and tell him what they want to see.

Mr. Hughes vs. Lil Haystacks, ref Jesse Hernandez (1995-04-14)
Hughes with a clothesline and big elbow drop. Drop kick and Hughes taunts Haystacks. Haystacks ducks a line and back elbow and goes for a cross body but gets caught in a side rib breaker. Hughes hits the sidewalk slam and gets the win in 4.

Bill Anderson is with Don Juan and Don says he is there for 3 reason and they all involved taking women and doing things to them. Anderson wants to know what Don’s going to do when he meets Zuma. Don says Anderson probably likes Zuma because he has homosexual tendencies. Anderson says Juan is disgusting and Juan says that Anderson’s wife didn’t think so.

Johnny ‘Psycho’ Paine vs. Navajo Kid, ref David Hogg (1995-05-12)
Kid with a few arm drags and a drop kick so Paine rolls to the floor. Paine clothesline Kid over the top and to the floor. Kid back in with a sunset flip for 2. He then ducks a clothesline and hits a cross body block for 2. Kid goes for a hip toss but Paine blocks it and hits a clothesline then a splash. Paine with a few elbow drops. Paine drops Kid on the top rope throat first. Kid with an enziguri for 2. Some back and forth and Paine hits a suplex for 2. Kid does a war dance and hits a chop and drop kick. Paine comes back and hits a forearm but picks up Kid at 2. Paine hits a clothesline for 2. DDT by Paine but he again picks up Kid. Paine brings a chair into the ring and tosses the ref over the top rope and smashes Kid into the chair. Some other Native dude comes in ‘because the Indian population is strong.’ Kid wins by DQ in 10.10. This match was terrible.

Martin hypes July 22nd. We get the NWC’s top ten. All are former stars off WWF or WCW except Thug who comes in at 10. Warrior who they admit hasn’t even wrestled for them yet places at number 4.

Bill Anderson brings in Cactus Jack. Jack talks about all the injuries he has received at the hands of Sabu.

Desert Death Match: Cactus Jack vs. Sabu, ref Jesse Hernandez (1994-10-29)
Originally review for the Wrestling Ringside promo video. Sabu nails Cactus and dents a chair over his head. Cactus suplex Sabu through a table that a bunch of old people are sitting at. Great. They continue to brawl around ringside. Cactus suplexes a table onto Sabu. Into the ring Cactus hits a double arm DDT. Clothesline over the top. Apparently Cactus nailed Sabu with a piledriver on a poker table. That would have been cool to see. Cactus gets hunts in-between the top and middle rope. Sabu jumps off a chair and lands onto of Cactus’ head sending him to the floor. Sabu misses a springboard moonsault and crashes through a table on the floor. Cactus comes off the apron with an elbow drop. Sabu comes off the middle rope with an arabian face buster for the win. 4.41 was shown of what they said was over 40.

Bill Anderson brings in Honky Tonk again and he talks about Warrior to hype their match on the 22nd.

My thoughts on the show…
Zuma match was pretty good. Would have liked to see more of the Desert Death Match

———————————————————

1995-07-22 Slammin’ (matches taped various dates at Silver Nugget Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nv)

Champion: Sabu

Samurai Warrior vs. Judge Dread, ref David Hogg (1995-02-11)
Warrior tries to shoulder tackle Dread down but Dread is to large and clotheslines Warrior over the top. Dread takes down Warrior with a kick and then drops an elbow. Warrior tries to fight back but the big man just hammers away on Warrior. Warrior moves on a corner charge and quickly goes up top. He comes off with a cross body attempt but gets caught and powerslammed down. Dread with a clothesline and this match has reached the point where its gone on for way to long. Dread with a slam and he goes up likely to finishes it off. Vader bomb splash from the top rope for the easy win in 4.47.

We get one of the Bill Anderson Honky Tonk Man interviews. It’s a duplicate of a previous one.

NWC Update on Thug. Thug has recently returned after a 60 day suspension. Thug attacks Junkyard Dog and a ref. Then Thug was doing a Q & A with fans on the Doctors Office Thug pushed a fan off the stage and through a table. After the 60 days was up Thug still hadn’t paid the fine. Throws money at the Las Vegas commissioner and is now allowed to wrestler.

Thug vs. Cincinnati Red, ref David Hogg (1995-03-17)
Thug beats on Red. He hits a monkey flip, side slam and inverted atomic drop. Thug hits the ropes and nails a flying shoulder tackle then locks in the switch blade which is a surf board style submission. Red has no choice but to give up after 1.49.

Bill Anderson brings in Larry Powers of the ‘world famous’ Power Twins. Powers says that the fans need to stop bringing their garbage to the arena to throw at him especially their toothbrushes cause they need to keep them to brush their one tooth.

Johnny ‘Psycho’ Paine vs. Lil’ Haystacks, ref Jesse Hernandez (1995-03-17)
I really hope this shit isn’t ten minutes like last weeks match. Paine beats on Haystacks nails a big boot and leg drop for a 2 count. Paine misses a corner charge and Haystacks sends him into the opposite corner. Haystacks follows with a splash but then he gets back dropped high over the top rope and to the floor. Paine with a slam on the floor. Paine was in a mental hospital with Charles Manson according to the announcers. Paine in control of the match but Haystacks mounts a comeback and the announcers question his wrestling ability. He’s a good guy aren’t they supposed to hype him up? Haystacks goes up top but misses a splash. Paine connects with a DDT and then covers for the win in 4.58.

To the Doctor’s Office we go and TC Martin brings Lil’ Haystacks out and he wants to know why he’s bothering interviewing him. Wow what an asshole. Martin tells Haystacks he is pathetic and a piece of garbage and he doesn’t belong in the NWC because he’s a fat piece of garbage. Martin wants to know if Haystacks got paid for tonight and demands to see his check. Martin rips up the check and throws it down and tells him not to come back. What the fuck was that all about. A wrestler just got bitched out by an announcer and did nothing about it.

Bill Anderson brings in Ariel Assault. Rob Van Dam says they have not been tested. Bobby Bradley says they are coming after the Power Twins.

That dick head TC Martin and Al Lorenz hype tonight’s show with Warrior.

Branding Iron Match Terry Funk vs. Virgil, ref Jesse Hernandez
Funk chases Lorenz and Martin around with a flaming branding iron. The commentary is dubbed in post production and instead of pretending that it’s live they just talk it like it’s not happening. I hate when commentary is done in post and they don’t pretend like it’s done live and completely ignore when they are on the screen or in the fucking ring doing the ring intros while doing commentary. The match starts and they brawl on the floor. Lorenz and Martin show back up on screen and this time they pretend that it’s live as they run away ‘good thing we have portable microphones.’ Funk with a piledriver on the floor. Funk nails Lorenz. Funk slams Virgil on a table. Pandemonium breaks loose! Finally into the ring and Funk chops Virgil down and then throws him right back out of the ring. Funk with a DDT on the floor. Fans are going nuts. Virgil fights back and Funk is knocked loopy and starts taking swings at security. Virgil with a DDT on the floor now. Garbage can put over the head of Funk and he’s sent into the ring post. Funk busted open. Virgil pounds away on Funk and brings it back into the ring and hits another DDT. Virgil calls for another one. Funk nailed with a third DDT in the match. Funk goes to the floor and throws the ring bell into the ring. Funk brings the branding iron into the ring and takes a swing but Virgil ducks and nails Funk with a right and inverted atomic drop. Virgil locks in the million dollar dream. Funk grabs the ref and nails him as Funk goes out. Virgil lets go and covers but there is no ref. Virgil has a clear win. He goes to get the ref and Funk picks up the branding iron and nails Virgil. Ref gets up and counts the 3 for Funk in 9.30. Funk nails the ref with the iron rips off his shirt and brands him. Funk goes to brand Virgil but Junkyard Dog makes the save. Why didn’t the ref DQ Funk for hitting him?

Douche bag Martin hypes tonight’s big show.

My thoughts on the show…
Main even was fun. Funk really knows how to put on an awesome crazy brawl. Rest was eh.

———————————————————

1995-08-05 Slammin’ (matches taped various dates at Silver Nugget Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nv)

Champion: Sabu

Opening video.

TC Martin and Al Lorenz bring us to the start of our show and runs down the card.

Judge Dread vs. Gary ‘Crusher’ Key, ref David Hogg (1995-03-17)

Key looks like he will not be crushing anyone tonight or most other nights for that matter. Dread with a bear hug and then drops back clotheslining Key on the top rope. Clothesline by Dread and he stomps on the throat of Key. Key tries for a head scissor out of the corner but Judge just throws him to the ground. Avalanche and top rope vaderbomb get the win for Dread in 2.59.

Bill Anderson brings in Mr. Hughes and Hughes says he is there to take people out and win all the titles in the NWC.

Sabu takes on Cactus Jack in a lumberjack match and the tag team title tournament takes place Friday August 25th.

NWC update brings us to a few highlights from matches between Terry Funk and Champion Sabu and then the wars between Cactus and Sabu.

Bill Anderson brings in Junkyard Dog. JYD says the four squared circles are his yard and Mr. Powers Larry Rivera better watch out. None of this made any sense.

Bobby Bradley vs. Wild Renegade, ref David Hogg (1995-03-17)
Renegade slaps Bradley a few times and then bails when Bradley tries to go after him. Bradley finally gets his hands on Renegade and hits a hip toss and atomic drop. Drop kick by Bradley and into a chin lock. Bradley with a spin kick and nice snap suplex for 2. Renegade comes back though with a super kick. Release german but Bradley able to kick out at 2. Bradley comes back and hits a powerslam for 2. Bradley goes up top and hits a big leg drop and then goes back up top for a second one. Renegade though able to reverse an irish whip and hit a clothesline. Elbow drop for 2. Renegade with a chin lock and Bradley begins to fade. Al Lorenz goes on and on about how Bradley and his partner Robbie V are a couple of real good looking guys. Bradley with an arabian press from the top turnbuckle for the win in 5.57.

Bill Anderson brings in Thug. Thug says NWC stands for one thing and one thing only. They then beep out the next three words he says. I can’t figure out what it is he would have said.

Navajo Kid vs. RJ Rodriguez, ref Jesse Hernandez (1995-03-17)
RJ goes to work on Navajo the announcers let us know that RJ is ‘a cagey veteran.’ Kid goes for a drop kick but RJ hangs onto the ropes and Kid crashes to the mat. Suplex brings Navajo over with a suplex. Navajo starts war dancing and comes back with some chops. Samoan drop finishes off RJ in 3.48.

We go to the Doctor’s Office with TC Martin and his guest this week is Don Juan. Holy FUCK Don Juan says he is going to make money faster then the casino by opening up a watermelon stand for black people, a second hand store for the white trash and third a target range to get rid of the homosexuals. The dirty rednecks actually start to cheer him. A sign in the crowd says ‘Don Juan is a homosexual’ and gets a lot of time on screen. Juan introduces his new manager Barbara Blaze. Everything about this was wildly inappropriate.

Battle Royal, refs David Hogg & Jesse Hernandez (1995-02-11)
Participants are Terry Funk, Junkyard Dog, Virgil, Larry Powers, Zuma, Gary ‘Crusher’ Key, Wild Renegade, The Mercenaries, Navajo Kid, Judge Dread, Swat, Volcano Kid, Johnny Psycho Paine, Thug, and Little Tokyo. Tokyo gets a standing ovation and the fans chant his name. Swat picks up Tokyo and carries him over to people and Tokyo kicks them. For some reason the Mercenaries have been fighting each other the entire time. One would think the tag team would ya know team up. Key gets tossed off screen and one of the Mercenaries tosses his partner. Renegade and the other Mercenary gets tossed. Navajo Kid also gone. Powers tosses Zuma. Thug, JYD and Paine throw out Judge Dread. Tokyo nails Thug in the balls and stomps him. Swat is dumped by JYD. 5 minutes in. Thug gets eliminated. Paine presses Tokyo and throws him onto thug. Paine gets tossed from behind. JYD gets rid of Volcano Kid. Down to Funk, JYD, Powers and Virgil. Powers eliminated JYD. Funk nails Powers due to miscommunication. Virgil quickly gets rid of Funk and Powers and wins the 10 k purse in 6.42. Martin interviews Virgil and Virgil says some stuff. Virgil would have to force like 4,000 people into taking pictures with him to get that much money.

Bill Anderson brings in Honky Tonk Man AGAIN. Honky talks about how anyone can come and take on the Honky Tonk Man and he will beat them all.

Martin and Lorenz hype the next show.

My thoughts on the show…
This one was weak. The announcers are garbage and make the shows somewhat difficult to sit through. No mention of the Warrior Honky Tonk match from 2 weeks back on the show. According to the internet the match lasted 13.05.

Finn Balor Teases ‘Bulletproof’ For Monday?

0

We’ve noted how WWE NXT Champion Finn Balor has been teasing the name “Bulletproof,” which could be the new name for his stable in NXT with Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson. As noted, that is pure speculation but his recent “Bulletproof” teasers were re-tweeted by Gallows and Anderson.

Balor posted another “Bulletproof” teaser today and as you can see below, he indicates something big may happen on Monday:

The “OH MY GOD!” Review: NWC in Las Vegas – Slammin’ TV Debuts, Plus Bonus Matches

1

1995-03-17 at Silver Nugget Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nv

Champion: Vacant

Back on November 19th of last year there was a tournament to crown the first champion. Tito Santana won that tournament beat Iron Sheik in the finals but is no longer with the company. The title has been declared vacant and this is a handheld of the match to declare a new champion! And it’s a Chain Match!

Chain Match: Sabu vs. Terry Funk (w/???), ref Jesse Hernandez
The picture isn’t clear enough to see who Funk’s manager is and our video starts after his introduction. They get hooked up and up get the opening bell. To the floor right away. Can’t see the action. Back into the ring Funk chokes Sabu with the chain. Funk’s manager looks like some Asian dude can’t figure out who it is still though. Sabu swings at Funk but gets back dropped to the floor. Funk whips Sabu with the chain on the floor. Funk goes to the apron and springs off the first rope with a vader bomb. DDT on the floor. Sabu slams Funk onto a table then goes back into the ring and slingshots himself over leg dropping Funk through the table. Sabu with an irish whip in the ring and he clotheslines Funk with the chain. Sabu hits a couple buckles but Funk stops him with a low blow. Slam by Funk and he goes up top and lands a moonsault. Back into the crowd. Funk is busted open and Sabu chokes him with the chain. Funk takes the chain off throws it at Sabu and rolls to the floor. Sabu puts a table in the ring and goes after Funk in the crowd. Funk put on the table and tied down to it with the chain. Sabu goes up top and hits a moonsault. Sabu steps on the throat of Funk. Funk gets up and piledrives Sabu on the table. These guys have been going at it for almost 15 minutes. Funk picks up a piece of broken table and nails Sabu with it. Sabu with a springboard leg lariat and he tries to touch the 4 corners. Funk breaks it up with a few headbutts. They choke each other with the chain and bump into the ref. Funk drags Sabu to 4 corners but the ref misses the first one cause he’s down. Funk argues with the ref. Sabu nails him from behind with a piece of the table and gets all the corners to win the title in 16.13! Funk attacks Sabu after the match and ties him to the ropes with the chain. Funk gets his branding iron and jabs it into the face of Sabu. Sabu gets free and they fight to the back. Sabu goes for a piledriver in the entrance way but Funk back drops him then drop on elbow from off a chair. Sabu dives off the chair with a cross body block. Sabu goes back to the ring to claim his title.

———————————————————

1995-05-12 at Silver Nugget Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nv

Champion: Sabu

Another handheld here.

Champion Sabu vs. Jim ‘The Anvil’ Neidhart, ref Jesse Hernandez
Anvil bails out right away. Sabu with a headlock. I can’t imagine Anvil lets Sabu do anything . Anvil gets free and locks in one of his own. Anvil with a shoulder tackle. He charges for another but Sabu side steps and throws him through the ropes. Anvil goes to ram Sabu into the ring post but Sabu reverses and sends Anvil in. Anvil placed on a table and Sabu goes for a springboard moonsault but Anvil moves and Sabu goes through the table. Anvil powerslams Sabu through another table! Back in the ring Anvil locks in a million dollar dream then hits a short arm clothesline. Anvil pushes Sabu off the apron through another table. Anvil gets a 2 count. Bear hug but Sabu breaks it and leaps up and over for a sunset flip attempt. Anvil cuts it off with a big right though and gets 2. Body slam by Anvil but he misses a splash from the second rope and goes to the floor. Sabu with a slingshot plancha and then he posts Anvil. Back in the ring air sabu and a springboard leg lariat gets 2. Sabu goes for a springboard leg drop but Anvil moves. Power bomb by Anvil for a 1’85.2 but he picks Sabu up!! He goes for a second but Sabu reverses into a rana for the 3!! Sabu retains after 9.32. Anvil attacks after the match but Sabu reverses an irish whip. Anvil grabs the ropes and bails. Sabu then dives out of the ring and puts himself through a table for fun I guess. He gets helped to the back.

Here we have a pretty cool piece. It’s a 10 minute promo video that they sent out to TV stations to try and get picked up.

TC Martin and Al Lorenz are in the studio and they hype NWC. Lorenz says the Silver Nugget Pavilion is the best place in the world to watch wrestling. Yea, ok… To a music video highlighting some of the stars and action of the NWC.

Desert Death Match: Cactus Jack vs. Sabu, ref Jesse Hernandez
Highlights here. Sabu nails Cactus and dents a chair over his head. Cactus suplex Sabu through a table that a bunch of old people are sitting at. Great. They continue to brawl around ringside. Cactus suplexes a table onto Sabu. Into the ring Cactus hits a double arm DDT. Clothesline over the top. Apparently Cactus nailed Sabu with a piledriver on a poker table. That would have been cool to see. Cactus gets hung in-between the top and middle rope. Sabu jumps off a chair and lands onto of Cactus’ head sending him to the floor. Sabu misses a springboard moonsault and crashes through a table on the floor. Cactus comes off the apron with an elbow drop. Sabu comes off the middle rope with an arabian face buster for the win. 4.41 was shown of what they said was over 40.

TC Martin closes things out back in the studio to pimp NWC some more.

My thoughts on the show…
It was pretty cool to see it just for what it was.

———————————————————

1995-07-08 Slammin’ TV (matches taped various dates at Silver Nugget Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nv)

Champion: Sabu

Opening video. They use the Jock Jams classic hit ‘Get Ready For This’ by 2 Unlimted as their theme immediately making this the world’s greatest wrestling promotion EVER!

Our hosts for the show are ‘The Doctor’ TC Martin and Al Lorenz.

Jim ‘The Anvil’ Neidhart vs. Cincinnati Red, ref David Hogg (1995-04-14)
Anvil attacks and chokes Red in the corner. Red is supposed to be a baseball player for the Cincinnati Reds. Anvil spends a few minutes just beating the crap out of him. Slam and camel clutch gets the submission win for Anvil in 3.24.

Bill Anderson tells us that on July 22 The Ultimate Warrior is coming to take on Honky Tonk Man. Honky says he signed an open contract but he didn’t want to wrestle Warrior. Honky says he is going all out to finish Warrior off after he got screwed over for the IC Title but in ’88.

They hype Warrior coming in and use WWF footage. That’s probably not legal.

Al Lorenz gives us the NWC Update and he talks about all the crazy things that have been going on live at NWC events over the past 8 months. Lorenz hypes the Ultimate Return and Revenge match.

Aeriel Assault vs. Blackhawk & Kerry Love, ref David Hogg (1995-05-12)
Bobby Bradley and Rob Van Dam make up “Ariel Assault” and are currently undefeated according to the announcers. Bradley with a belly to back suplex on Love and he tags Van Dam who comes off the top with a cross body. Love backs Van Dam into the corner and tags Blackhawk. Van Dam with a monkey flip and spring board cross body gets 2. Bradley tags in and they dump Blackhawk to the floor. Bradley comes off the top with a headbutt to the floor! Love breaks up the pin back in the ring. Blackhawk comes back with a side slam and slingshot belly to back into a back breaker. Tag to Love and they hit a double shoulder block. Love digs his fingers into the eyes of Bradley. Blackhawk back in with another side slam for 2. Double clothesline and both men are down. Blackhawk tags Love. Bradley back flips out of a back body drop and then hits a drop kick and tags. Van Dam with a bunch of kicks for a 2. Standing moonsault for another 2 followed by a drop kick that sends Love to the floor. Sunset flip power bomb by Van Dam out of the ring on Blackhawk and Bradley hits a flying somersault plancha on Love. Van Dam with a blockbuster on Blackhawk. Bradley sets up Blackhawk for a power bomb and Van Dam comes off the top with a somersault body attack it’s called the suicide bomber. That looked pretty awesome. Bradley covers for the win in 6.34.

Bill Anderson brings in Cactus Jack. Jack talks about being the sickest wrestler in the world today. Jack says he will take anyone and put them out of the sport.

Larry Powers vs. Lil’ Haystacks, ref Jesse Hernandez (1995-05-12)
Powers is part of the Powers Twins tag team. Haystacks dicks a clothesline and gets a 2 on a sunset flip. Two drop kicks hit but a third gets swatted away. Haystacks goes for a cross body but gets caught by Powers and dropped across the knee with a rib breaker. Big back body drop from Powers. Pile driver gets the 3 count for powers in 2.09.

Music video featuring some action from past NWC shows.

TC Martin hypes July 22nd.

Bill Anderson brings in ‘Psycho’ Johnny Paine. Paine talks about how great of an amateur he was. He says the only amateur match he ever lost was when he bit off his opponents ears and got DQed.

TC Martin is in the ring for The Doctors Office. Martin’s guest is The Iron Sheik. Sheik has his Iranian Clubs and he says anyone can come and do the exercise he will do double or give them $500. Junkyard Dog and USA ‘Phew.’ I fucking love this guy. Some giant dude gets picked from the crowd and rips off his shirt. He has to do 27 to get the the cash. Bob can hardly get 2 done. Sheik attacks him because he was ‘a piece of fat garbage.’

Virgil vs. The Honky Tonk Man, ref David Hogg (1995-05-12)
Virgil brings a guitar to the ring to mock Honky and then we clip to the start of the match with them fighting on the floor. Lorenz says these two have chased each other across the country for years. WTF? Honky comes back and beats on Virgil locking on a chin lock. Virgil fights back and comes off the turn buckle but Honky gets a knee to the gut. Honky sends Virgil to the floor. Virgil comes back in with a sunset flip for 2 but Honky remains in control. Honky back to the chin lock Virgil finally gets out of hit and boxes Honky. Clothesline and inverted atomic drop. Virgil with a russian leg sweep and he locks in the million dollar dream. Honky backs him into the corner to break it. Virgil comes out with a clothesline but then misses a top rope cross body. Honky gets the guitar the Virgil brought out. The ref tries to stop him so he nails him in the gut with it and then crushes Virgil over the head with it. Shake rattle and roll by Honky. Virgil wins by DQ in 6.16. Junkyard Dog comes out to save Virgil.

Bill Anderson hypes July 22nd some more. He brings in Honky Tonk again and Honky says he is going to break Warriors neck. Anderson says this is the greatest main event of all time.

We see a replay of the main event and get some hype for next week.

My thoughts on the show…
Pretty decent first TV show. A good mixture of squashes and competitive matches. The main event was garbage but the tag match had some exciting action in it.

TNA Looking For Investors, Exclusive Info On Upcoming Meetings

0

Source: PWInsider

We noted yesterday that TNA Wrestling is looking for more investors. PWInsider has answered some of the questions as it relates to why this is happening.

TNA has been forced to cut back on both office space and talent that was scheduled for the UK tour. They’re unable to grow in the state they’re in, and while they’ll tread water, it won’t be profitable in the long run.

TNA is said to have a five-year plan in order, and a partner taking a percentage of the company will aid in making that a reality. The TV deals are helping keep TNA going, but Dixie Carter wants to be a “player.” It’s also said that it is believed Dixie Carter would consider an offer to buy the company outright for the right price. Carter has outright rejected several offers in the past.

Panda Energy still technically owns TNA, but they aren’t funding the company and also aren’t involved in any operations, with this being the case since about when Jeff Jarrett’s stake was bought out last year.

A source told Wrestling Inc that Josh Mathews will actually be in meetings this week with multimedia startups in relation to this.
