Pro Wrestling Chronicle

The Tampa farm league gets Very European.

Since I posted Jon Moxley’s inaugural promo in Florida Championship Wrestling, I might as well do the same for Claudio Castagnoli, or as you may have seen on Twitter, MISTER Antonio Cesaro. The usual slightly stilted delivery by the multilingual athlete, but he gets across his character and intentions clearly. Im namen der independents.

When the man came to Florida…

Hot off the ‘Tube, it’s Jon Moxley’s debut on Florida Championship Wrestling television (as Dean Ambrose), interviewed by Dolph Ziggler’s brother and cutting a promo on his intentions in Tampa. Those intentions look to begin with Tyler “Seth Rollins” Black. Watch it here. I was smiling ear to ear just like Regal.

I think Finch is to thank for this. I was floored.

Rest in peace, UUUUUUUUUmaga

You spend a few hours off the web, not expecting terrible news like this. I was quite shocked to learn just a few minutes ago the passing of Edward Fatu, better known as Umaga. He was only 36 when he died in a hospital earlier today. As one might expect, he had his issues (WWE [...]

Introducing: The Memphis Diaries

After all the fun I had doing the Mid South Diaries, I’ve decided to take a crack at the 1980s Memphis project being run at Death Valley Driver’s Message board. For any background just look up the Mid South Diaries at the top of the page, or through tags and categories. Jerry Jarrett took over [...]

Jerry Jarrett might have outed TNA

In a statement filled with flawed logic (my opinion, not like you can’t reach me) Jerry Jarrett, without prompting, said the entire industry should be looked into, not just the WWE. You can find that statement here. Jarrett did say though that he thinks the biggest decision first made by Congress is whether wrestling is [...]

Edge out 4 months

In some wrestling news that doesn’t involve death, Edge is hurt. Mike Johnson is reporting he’ll require surgery on his torn pec and be out 4 months. I lost the link (annoying site) but it’s on PWInsider.com.

Meltzer on Fight Network Radio discussing the Benoit Family toxicology report and what it means going forward.

Benoit Family Toxicology

The results are summarized by two trusted wrestling-based reporters.

Lance Storm and Dave Meltzer appeared on ESPN’s investigative hard journalism program, Outside The Lines. Excellent segment, better then almost all that have been on cable TV. I wish the show would do more w/ this story.
