La UFC ha diramato un memo ai fighters in cui si vieta di posare con i fans nelle foto facendo finta di applicare le rear-naked chokes. Pare che la decisione sia stata presa dopo due denunce.

Come è finita la causa "Warrior vs. WWE"?
La causa Warrior vs. WWE è finita, col giudice Douglas L Rayes che ha decretato l'impossibilità per Warrior di citare per danni la WWE per via del Self-Destruction of Ultimate Warrior DVD, poichè Warrior tenne lo stesso comportamento nei confronti della WWE prima dell'uscita del suddetto DVD.
Praticamente, le due parti hanno firmato un accordo in cui si stabilisce il non parlar male l'uno dell'altro, come nel caso Konnan vs. TNA.
Warrior è stato inoltre condannato a pagare le spese processuali pari a $20,000.

Messa all'asta la "Big Gold"!
La cintura dei pesi massimi della National Wrestling Alliance World, che è stata in possesso di Ric Flair dai tempi in cui fu introdotta dalla Jim Crockett Promotions nella metà degli anni '80, sarà messa all'asta da Highspots tramite Ebay questo Lunerdì.
Questa è la cintura che appartenne ai vari Jack Brisco, Dusty Rhodes ed Harley Race fra gli altri.
Questa decisione è stata presa da Highspots dopo il mancato ricevimento dei soldi prestati a Ric Flair mesi fa. I legali di Flair affermano che il debito è stato pagato tramite apparizione effettuate da Flair per Highspots.
Flair deve ancora dei soldi alla ROH.

Mauro, Zombie Quadros, and Miletich on the call.
DANIEL CORMIER (0-0, 250.2) vs. GARY FRAZIER (0-0, 245.2)
Amateur superstar wrestler Cormier makes his MMA debut as does the opponent. Both these guys could drop some weight.
I tag in a little late and the 1st round is about halfway. Cormier is all over Frazier on the ground pounding away. Frazier escapes and they're up. He looks terrified. He looks like the better striker but afraid to let his hands go. Not much happening standing. They say Cormier won the round.

THOMAS LONGACRE (4-0, 148) vs. TRAVIS CALANOC (4-0, 146.6)
Calanoc (pronounced, apparently, 'colonic') at 147 catch. Colonic was in the Marines. Quadros blowing his prepared monologue again. These guys are both local Okies. Longacre has kickboxed. 5 years older and 3.5" in reach.

Okay fight. Commentators trying to make it sound technically better than it was.
TYRON WOODLEY (3-0, 171) vs. ZACH LIGHT (6-8, 170.4)
Both All American wrestlers in college and juco respectively. Light calls himself a bar fighter. Great. 'I'm fighting for my kids.' Great. Sub .500 record, maybe you should get a job for your kids. Wrestling coach at Wolfslair? LOLOLOL. Isn't that like a nonexistent job? Woodley trains at ATT. That should be enough right there. He fights for his family too. Yay. 3-0 all subs including a D'Arce.

RAY SEFO (1-0, 240.8) vs. KEVIN JORDAN (11-7, 236.6)
Veteran K1 fringe contender, once top contender Sefo weighed in with his shirt on, that's never good. Jordan at 38 has just started being a full time fighter, giving it one last shot.

Here's Zak and... jeez I hope that's his mom and not his wife. Oh good, yeah. Here's Tim. 5 years older but looks younger. There's his Green Beret. Looks to be the stronger of the two. Height weight and reach about even.
This is the only fight that gets a full intro from Jimmy Jr. The rest he does the intros as they enter and then just intros the ref before the fight starts.

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson si ritira~!
Quinton Jackson sul suo web site www.rampage-jackson.com ha annunciato il suo ritiro e che non combatterà contro Rashad Evans.
Jackson ha scritto un lungo articolo lamentandosi dei fans che lo hanno fischiato quando combattè contro Chuck Liddell, del fatto di non essere mai stato trattato da undisputed champion dopo aver battuto Dan Henderson, che ha combattuto contro Wanderlei Silva e Keith Jardine con un infortunio al mento e che proprio quest'ultimo incontro non fu nemmeno utile per lui dal punto di vista economico (il suo bonus fu basso giacchè il ppv fece il numero più basso di buyrates domesticamente).
Ha dichiarato che nonostante tutte le dichiarazioni, la sua volontà è sempre stata quella di voler affrontare per il titolo Machida.
Ha aggiunto di esserci rimasto molto male per le prese in giro fatte nei suoi confronti da Dana White per quanto concerne il suo ruolo di Mr.T nel film "A-Team".
"Perciò ho chiuso con i combattimenti. Ho ricevuto negative valutazioni da stupidi fans che non pagano le mie bollette e che non mandano i miei figli al college. Mi mancheranno i miei fans fedeli ma spero che mi seguano nella mia nuova carriera e che a loro se ne aggiungano altri. E tutti voi fans che mi odiano potete baciarmi il mio culo nero peloso e coloro a cui non va a genio quello che ho appena detto provate a venire a prendermi a calci."

Hogan's promotion Upodate
Dopo 3 giorni di trattative, Ric Flair ha firmato un contratto di 3 anni con la Hulkamania promotion che a Novembre debutterà in Australia.
I piani prevedono di svolgere regolari tour fuori dagli USA.
Viste le recenti inbarazzanti vicende che hanno coinvolto Flair ed Hogan, il piano di quest'ultimo e di Bischoff di costruire una sorta di nuova federazione è stato realizzato nel più breve tempo possibile.

Rilascio a sorpresa in TNA!
Dopo l'aspettato rilascio di Bg James, a ciel sereno è arrivato anche quello per James E. Cornette.
Recentemente Cornette svolgeva vari ruoli nel backstage, fra i quali il lavoro nel production truck.
Dopo la cacciata di Mantell e Vega, il nome di Cornette era stato varie volte menzionato per un suo possibile ruolo nel booking al fianco di Vince Russo.
E' possibile perciò che il suo rilascio sia scaturito dopo un suo rifiuto.

Backstage Brawl in WWE~!
Sabato, nel corso dell'house show al Manuel Iguina Coliseum in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, è scaturita una rissa fra Big Show e Great Khali. Fra i due non correva da tempo buon sangue poichè Big Show era molto arrabbiato del fatto che Khali usasse mosse che solamente lui avrebbe dovuto usare. Fra i due è appunto scaturito un diverbio, con Big Show che ha cercato di colpire Khali con un pugno, ma quest'ultimo, come accade nel ring, lo ha bloccato facilmente; dopo essere inciampato, Big Show si è trovato schiacciato da Khali ma a quel punto i wrestlers presenti sono intervenuti per separarli.
Per molti, la colpa per ciò che è accaduto è di Big Show.

DRAGON GATE USA IN CHICAGO LIVE REPORT
DRAGON GATE USA IN CHICAGO LIVE REPORT
by Matt Carter @ 8:49 AM on 9/7/2009
The first thing I noticed is that it was a huge internet wrestling crowd. Very VERY smart fans. Its amazing how Gabe can book for this kind of crowd and put a huge one over on all of us (that's coming up)
I did watch the DGUSA PPV on Friday night, so I had a bit of an idea what to expect with the action. I had never been to the Congress Theatre. Interesting venue for wrestling. Its a large concert hall. At one time, it was probably awesome. Now all the seats are tore out and its a concert pit.
The ring was right up next to the stage. There was one row of seats in front of the stage. The wrestlers all made their entrance from a "tunnel" on the stage under a video screen.
I had a Golden Ticket so I got in early (around 4:20 pm). To my surprise Gabe was the one giving directions on where to go (in my case anyway). I walked right past good ol' JR and the King at the Highspots table.
Our Bonus Match was FRAY! It started around 4:35 pm.
It started with Hallowicked and Arik Cannon, followed by Louis Lyndon, Prince Mustafa Ali, Shiima Xion, Johnny Gargono, The Great Malaki, and Flip Kendrick. I may have a couple mixed up. Hallowicked took a beating from everyone. Prince Mustafa Ali looked good and Flip Kendrick didn't (just my opinion). The last two in the match were Hallowicked and Johnny Gargano with Gargano getting the win (to most everyone's surprise).
We counted down the start of the PPV and got going around 6 pm.
Match 1 Dragon Kid over Masato Yoshino
This match seemed even more fun than the PPV match. Crazy speed from these two guys. Great way to get the night started!
Match 2 Mike Quackenbush and Jigsaw over YAMATO and Gran Akuma
Yamato and Akuma had great heat before they even walked out to the ring. Everyone else watched the PPV too! A really fun match with a bit of comedy and some good wrestling.
Match 3 Nauki Doi over Bryan Danielson
Danielson was given no intro. He came out first after our live host said, "and this man needs no introduction". The lights went out and out came The Dragon. Lots of "Best In The World" chants. No Europe...so some fans sang it during the intro. During the match Danielson was wicked nasty with Doi's arm. In the end, Doi was just too much
After the match, Danielson cut a promo. He said goodbye to the Indies without really saying goodbye...but the entire crowd knew what was up. He wanted everyone to support independent wrestling. He also put over Davey Richards in a BIG WAY! Saying he is the next to be called "Best In The World".
Now we go to intermission. Danielson was doing autographs for cash. I saw Dragon Kid, Yamamoto, Doi, and Yoshino all doing autographs as well.
Match 4 CIMA over Brian Kendrick
Lots of love for Kendrick from the fans. Plenty of Spanky chants. Fun match with both guys working hard. Great way to get the crowd back into the show.
Match 5 Davey Richards over Shingo
This match was simply amazing. These two beat the tar out of each other in and out of the ring. There were so many near falls at the end. Multiple "This Is Awesome" chants. Even a couple "Please don't stop" and a faint "Match of The Year". This could be the best match I have ever seen live. I can't say much more.
After the match, Davey gets the mic. Since Danielson's promo and the way the match went, Davey was the fan favorite. Everyone was loving him. He wanted Danielson to come out and confirm that he is the "next Best In The World". Davey made some small talk thanking Bryan and then out of the blue decks him and gives him a beat down. Davey screams "I
don't need anyone's endorsement". Says he is coming back after the title.
During the entire night, I didn't notice Gabe Sapolsky watching any matches. During this promo time, Gabe was in the entrance tunnel. I saw him pump his fists in the air as Davey's beatdown started. He fooled everyone in there....and that isn't easy.
After this match and the promo...its going to be hard to follow this up
Match 6 Main Event (Non Title) Genki Horiguchi and Ryo Saito over The Young Bucks
This was a great tag team match. It might not have been as good as the Bucks did in the PPV, but I could habe been a bit burnt from the Richards match. Lots of fun spots and even some blue mist that gives us the finish.
I am sure others can go into better detail.
The Young Bucks got some interview time about being "not the best tag team of the future but the present" during which Jimmy Jacobs showed up with Prince Mustafa Ali at his side looking to "recruit" wrestlers. The guys told Jimmy no and got a beat down. As for the crowd, very hot crowd through the night. I saw some familiar faces from IWA-MS and ROH shows in Chicago. The venue was no where near sold out. The entire balcony was closed off. That in mind, the seats were all full that were set up. This venue can easily handle double (possibly triple) tonight's crowd...which is pretty handy because they announced a return to Chicago and the Congress on January 23rd! I'll be there.
Next time, I may not spring for the ring side seats...here is why...if you are not on a camera side your view is RUINED ALL NIGHT. They had 7...that is right 7 STILL photographers PLUS 2 video cameras ring side. 9 people in your way all night was not fun...so way pay the extra?

TNA News
In una recente intervista allo show radiofonico Live Audio Wrestling, Dixie Carter ha affermato che non è una fan dei ppv mensili, ma che al momento la cosa non cambierà sino a che non scadranno i contratti che li obbligano a svolgere un ppv ogni mese.
Questo per rendere ancora più chiaro il fatto che i ppv TNA siano una perdita per la federazione di Nashville.

Rilascio a sorpresa in TNA~!
Del tutto inaspettatamente, Angelina Love è stata rilasciata nella giornata di ieri dalla TNA.
Il rilascio è dovuto a problemi con la scadenza del foglio di lavoro di Angelina (è Canadese), al quale non è stato possibile un rinnovo.
Originariamente ha continuato a lottare negli USA dopo aver ottenuto i documenti necessari mentre era sotto contratto con la WWE.
Purtroppo la TNA in questa situazione si è vista con le mani legate, poichè sarebbe stato una violazione di legge continuare ad averla sotto contratto. Non c'è malumore nei suoi confronti ma molto dispiacere.
Probabilmente la TNA la rimetterà sotto contratto una volta che le sarà permesso tornare negli States, ma c'è da tener conto che anche la WWE potrebbe farsi avanti.

Grosso nome potrebbe passare dalla WWE alla TNA~!
Jim Ross è in fase di rinegoziazione del contratto con la WWE, fatto del quale ha parlato apertamente nel suo blog. Proprio nel suo blog, Ross è stato varie volte molto critico nei confronti del prodotto WWE, come mai è accaduto prima.
In molti all'interno della WWE pensano che se Ross non rinnoverà con la WWE, passerebbe certamente in TNA.
Niente di concreto, ma questa è la voce che circola fra parecchie persone nel business WWE.
