Notes on Matt Hardy, Priscilla Kelly, Kris Statlander, and Brian Pillman Jr.

– Kris Statlander recently spoke with Alicia Atout and discussed how she felt after signing with AEW, and how WWE was also interested in her.
On how she felt after signing with AEW:
“There’s a lot of thoughts going through my mind because the whole thing with WWE was interested in me also, so there’s a lot of stress with me because I didn’t know what I was going to do, I didn’t know what was the right choice. And you would think that it’s a dream come true for anybody to be offered a contract, but for me, getting signed was never an actual, legit goal of mine in wrestling, so I was like, ‘Oh, am I going to be happy, is this going to be something I want to do?’ So I was very nervous, I was very stressed about it, but I am thoroughly enjoying all my time I’ve been with AEW and all the opportunities they’ve given me so far and I have no regrets about it. So all is well.”

– Brian Pillman Jr versus Jimmy Havoc Set for MLW’s Philly Show on February 1st

Jimmy Havoc. Brian Pillman. First. Time. Ever.

Tickets start at $15 at: www.MLW2300.com.
Brian Pillman Jr. has made the move to the middleweight division, effective immediately. With the intention of climbing the rankings and challenging for the World Middleweight Championship, Pillman has high hopes for winning his first singles title in the league.
Standing in his way on the road to a title match: Jimmy Havoc and Priscilla Kelly.
A vicious and cunning duo, Havoc and Priscilla have a history of violence in the league dating back nearly two years when this unholy union first united.
A sinister force looking to put a reckoning on the division and challenge for the title himself, Havoc thrives on the misery of others.
With Pillman entering the 205 pound and under division, league officials quickly moved to make this match, arguably one of the biggest bouts within the middleweight division.
With both men jockeying to fast track a title bout, this match has championship implications.
Great Britain’s top ranked middleweight poses a challenge for Pillman, with Priscilla Kelly a wildcard in every encounter, Pillman will have to remain vigilant and mindful of outside forces ringside… including the trio known as Injustice.
What happens when the Rogue Prince tangles with England’s Most Dangerous Man?

Jim Ross on why the XFL could succeed

– On the latest Grilling JR, Jim Ross weighed in on the upcoming XFL relaunch and how Vince McMahon reacted to the first XFL’s failure. The XFL is set to kick off its 2020 season next weekend, with a lot of eyes on it to see if it can succeed where the 2001 iteration failed. JR explained how he thinks the extra time put into the new league will give it a fighting chance and noted the shorter turnaround time hurt the original version. Highlights from the discussion, and the full podcast, are below: 
On what he thinks of the new XFL: “Fighting chance. It’s got a fighting chance because of the TV deals they have in place with FOX and ESPN. Fighting chance because they’ve been preparing for the launch for two years, not 90 days. Fighting chance because they’ve got some of the best coaches that were available, including my friend Bob Stoops coaching the Dallas franchise. Former Oklahoma coach for almost 20 years. So yeah, it’s got a fighting chance.” 
On the original XFL’s failure: “We didn’t know it, we didn’t want want to be told, but we didn’t have a fighting chance when we started the other, the original XFL. You can’t put teams together with any kind of chemistry, without playing ample scrimmages or exhibition games, or whatever the hell you want to call them. And for a team to build chemistry and teamwork continuity in 90 days. Because you’re putting everything together. Hell, you’re still checking out uniforms, man, the week of the show, week of the game.” 
On talking to Vince about the XFL’s failure: “I had the first meeting with Vince after the XFL went belly-up. I was on his calendar, might have been one of our normal meeting times. And I talked with [McMahon’s personal assistant] Beth Zazza, ‘Is the boss gonna want to meet today?’ She said, ‘Oh yeah, yeah. He’s fine.’ He just lost $50 million, I think it was, something like that. Some ridiculous amount of money that I’d have walked out on a ledge [over]. I said basically the same thing. ‘What could we have done differently?’ He said, ‘Not a goddamned thing, JR. The way it was laid out, we did the best we could with what we had, but I wouldn’t change a thing.’ And he lost a lot of money, but he said, ‘It was a calculated risk. And I would do it all over again. Because I believe in the concept.’ 
“So here we all, all these years later with the same dream he had about he believes in the concept. But he went about it a whole different way. He got real football people to run the XFL. We’ll see how good the game is. The quality of football will be better. I have not read all the rule changes and the amendments to the rules. As long as they don’t get too hokey, I’m okay with it. But if they’re gonna get too far away fro basic football, I’m not interested. I don’t think it’s gonna happen.”Click Here: nrl jerseys

Karl Anderson on how Shinsuke Nakamura helped him financially

KARL ANDERSON REVEALS HOW SHINSUKE NAKAMURA HELPED HIM WHEN HE WAS BROKE
After a show one night, Nakamura had asked if the future BC man fancied grabbing some dinner at a nearby restaurant. That’s when Anderson, who was embarrassed by his financial predicament, admitted that he didn’t really have enough money to pay for it and tried to make excuses and teared up. Confused, Shinsuke marched him to a cash machine, and asked to see how much cash his peer had.
As Karl told Lilian Garcia’s ‘Chasing Glory’ podcast back in October, he punched in his pin number, hit the ‘Balance’ button and revealed a measly $14 propping up his account.
That’s when Nakamura uttered the “I take care” line, and refused to take no for an answer going forward. He ended up buying Anderson’s meals for the next six months until his new friend was back on his feet and could afford to eat properly.
This is something Karl has never forgotten to this day. He couldn’t believe that someone who didn’t need to be was so generous, and he made a pal for life.Click Here: wallabies rugby jersey
