For those that enjoy watching and/or reading up on old wrestling, Voices of Wrestling recently had an article on the early days of US wrestling going as far back as the 1890s and one of its first mega stars.
Back in the day when wrestling was mostly seen as a real sport although still had its fair share of sports media saying wrestling was fake. https://www.voicesofwrestling.com/20...-in-the-1890s/ |

According to PWI, a very sad incident happened in Mexico last night.
A young wrestler suffered a fatal heart attack during the middle of a match. Unlike what happened with Silver King's passing in the United Kingdom, match was quickly stopped and medical officials rushed in immediately to try to save him. Quote:

Seems WWE recently ran into some legal issues regarding several trademarks for talent names they've been filing in batches these past few months.
At least 3 wrestlers haven't given their written consent needed for WWE to own their names while in the company due to their ring names being their real names. Interesting, another denied trademark was for "Justus" which isn't the current name of anyone in WWE and has been rumored for a while to be related to Retribution. That was originally rumored to be the name of the group before they were officially revealed as Retribution. Also WWE has been having trouble trademarking Mia Yim's name not because its her real name but due to her having past usage of the name in the indies meaning WWE needs her consent to own it while she works for them. Seeing as she's one of the people who is affected the most by WWE's recent third party services ban, makes sense why she isn't too happy to give them permission for ownership of her name. Quote:

Throughout the pandemic/lockdown, my girlfriend and I have dug out all our old DVD's and been watching through them all. This includes all my wrestling ones which she loves watching and is a huge fan!
Currently just watched The Great American Bash 2004 and Hard Knocks: The Chris Benoit Story, and two random notes/observations: Damn, Chris Benoit was so fucking good. If you can try to appreciate his work as a wrestler prior to how his life ended, he really was one of the absolute best. From his solo DVD and all the ones we watched prior, the guy was so crisp in the ring. He had an absolute intensity and believeability that nobody really has anymore. Makes me appreciate that era of technical wrestling around the turn of the century before all the flippy and comedy stuff got too out-of-hand. Nowadays it's all so choreographed and gymnastics that it takes a lot of the realism out of the competition. Also, I always kinda wished WWE would release a DVD or something on the Network or whatever, focusing on all the guys/matches that don't warrent DVD's of their own. So many mid-card matches and stand-out performers that should be highlighted. Guys like Christian, Booker T, Jamie Knoble, Tyson Kidd, Dolph Ziggler, Carlito, Shelton Benjamin, Dean Malenko etc. Perhaps matches from Raw, Smackdown, WWECW, NXT, Main Event etc that weren't necessarily main event matches or significant in any way, other than being great matches that seemed to have been kinda forgotten about.

Yeah, I remember from the WWE Jake DVD that his early life was really fucked up, but they only glossed over it.

David Bixenspan recently revealed that he helped work on the upcoming third season of Dark side of the Ring.
Considering how great he is at uncovering the shady and dark aspect of wrestling, a bunch of these upcoming episodes very likely will be a lot more juicer in dark content than usual for the series. Supposedly the main issues people had with Season 2 revolved around Bruce Prichard having too much influence on its direction and the producers leaning a bit too heavy on his style of storytelling for topics. |

This guy just started posting videos of classic AJPW. Most of them are from the 70's and feature guys like The Destroyer and Jack Brisco. Destroyer was so fucking good.

There's so much shady shit that even posters like us who are in the "Smark" crowd have no idea about.
They GOTTA do one on Chris Adams. |
