News items that dont merit their own thread...thread
First topic message reminder :
I totally understand that the majority of you may dislike or have never seen any form of Independent Wrestling so turn a blind eye to it but I truly believe this is such a powerful promo hyping something that we all share here...
This is Mike Quackenbush, founder of Chikara Pro and I quite frankly consider him to be one of the best storytellers in the business. Enjoy.

Ryan Reeves (Ryback) has officially changed his name to Ryback in an attempt to outwit the WWE Trademarking System

Paige has gone and got a tattoo of the name Alberto done on her.
Partner name tattoos always end happily of course.

Im still at a loss as to why the higher ups were seemingly so petty about it. All the other couples I can think of ended up together.

Paige tweeted out that she is not leaving WWE and any rumours suggesting that are false, and that she is still resting a back injury. Her suspension was a procedural one and she was clean but failed because it wasnt done on time.

* Rumours circulating that Cesaro will join up with Smackdown once his best of seven series is finished up. With Smackdown receiving the short-end of the stick in the draft, he would become a great addition to freshen up the upper-card IMO.
* After No Mercy, John Cena is likely to miss a large portion of the remainder of 2016. Again another loss to Smackdown!
* Marty Scurll & Will Ospreay will make their ROH debuts when ROH returns to the UK this November, 10 YEARS after their first UK Tour.

Re: News items that dont merit their own thread...thread
A judge in Nevada has approved a legal name change for Ryan Allen Reeves. Reeves will now be legally known as Ryback Allen Reeves. Despite the WWE trademark, Ryback will be able to use this name on the independent scene since it is now his legal name. The Ultimate Warrior went through a similar process when he had his legal name changed from Jim Hellwig to "Warrior."
Ryback 1 WWE 0
Be interesting to see if any more future endeavored talents try this,

I had no idea wrestler's names could be trademarked. Owning image rights is one thing, but this is ridiculous IMO.
I mean, I can see why you might want to own a name like Sting, Ultimate Warrior, Undertaker or something else that is obviously a ring name...especially if that wrestler has a very recognisable image, but these days they tend to have fairly ordinary names and generic appearances.
Seems kinda daft IMO. If a wrestler moves to another company, why would you want to hang on to their ring name?
Seems very petty of WWE, especially considering TNA have never done that with any talent that has gone the other way (AFAIK). Especially as they apparently didn't want to keep CM Punk. Anyway, looking forward to seeing "Just Cody" at BFG. There is also a rumour doing the rounds that his missus Brandi is joining the Knockouts...

Its not just business though is it, its quite a personal matter for Cody
Shows no respect and they couldn't be more of a bunch of d'cks pulling this sort of sh't
Also Dusty did use Dusty Rhodes before joining up with Vince. Both Cody and Dustin must have some sort of legal argument they can make there.

The Rhodes trademark belongs to WWE, it's the same with The Dudley Boyz, named in ECW but WWE acquired the rights hence Team 3D in TNA

Re: News items that dont merit their own thread...thread
I think its just crappy business practice by WWE all round...in the sense it may be good for them, but screws over everyone else.
Ring names and image rights should belong to individual wrestlers for as long as they are active, given how often they can move between promotions (unless they willingly sign over those rights). It should never be a condition of signing a contract that the company then owns your image and naming rights.
It'd be nice if some sort of legislation was introduced to cover this...but I can't see anyone challenging WWE.
Probably because almost no-one will have heard of that name, plus its not the most "wrestling" name anyway. I'm more surprised he didn't do what his buddy Aaron did and go for a full name change. Wonder of those two will work together again?

Re: News items that dont merit their own thread...thread
I believe that TNA are going to get around it by putting him and his wife Brandi "Rhodes" in a feud with Maria and mike Bennett.
They will then announce the couple as "Cody and Brandy Rhodes".
I also read this morning that if Billy Corgan buys TNA outright, that the first thing he will do is to change the name.

Becky Lynch is out of No Mercy after suffering an undisclosed injury, although theres a picture floating around of her with a black eye so could be related to that.
Unsure where this leaves the title situation, whether Bliss gets her match when Lynch is fit or she gets added to Carmella vs Nikki Bella and it becomes a title match. Its all a. It up in there air right now.

Matt Hardy has apparently revealed that an entire episode of Impact will be recorded at the Hardy compound for future broadcast.
Apparently the taping will feature 'King Maxxel's debut' ?!

Ah, yes...the eagerly anticipated High Chairs, Activity Tables & Snakes & Ladders match. Or possibly the first to stick a pacifier in their opponent's mouth wins?
On a vaguely more serious note I'm guessing this will show where the Hardys are going post-Decay. Will they still be broken and obsolete, or will the seven deities have restored their sanity?

Depends how many months of tapings TNA have done. A 60 day suspension and likely a 30 day no-compete. There might not be a knockout division for her to go to.
I think she could still have a future at WWE, but her comments and especially her parents speaking out arent doing her any favours. Shes burning bridges she's still standing on. She could live to regret it.

Heh. People have been predicting the demise of TNA for about the last 4 years. Billy Corgan strikes me as a fairly smart guy...I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be investing time and money in a company with no future prospects.
Anyway, its never good to see a wrestler (or anyone really) with personal issues. Hope she gets the help she needs to sort herself out.

WON:
Matt Sydal, who was arrested for attempting to bring synthetic marijuana into Japan. While I believe marijuana laws as they are now in many places make no sense at all, everyone with any knowledge of Japan knows how strict they are there and have been forever.
Everyone knows the story there. Steve Williams nearly lost his entire career in Japan over it and Sydal isn't close to the level of star Williams is, nor is there anyone in New Japan who has the kind of power that Giant Baba had in the 90s when it came to getting people out of trouble. This could easily end his career in Japan and it was unfortunate because he and Ricochet were an incredible tag team, maybe the best in the world and if not right with the best in the world.

If Shawn Michaels came out of retirement that surely would deserve a thread of it's own, I'd have assumed he'd have gotten over any wrestling bugs by now but is he not now a trainer in the development? If so maybe that has given him the taste for it again and also maybe he has realised he's still in pretty good ring shape.
I've got nothing against guys coming out of retirement, it's Pro Wrestling, very seldom does retirement mean retirement, it's usually a gimmick which in HBK's case seemed to be exception.
