Inside Pro Wrestling #48
02.19.2010 This Past week in Pro Wrestling News.
Here at SBWA we believe your training does'nt end after the in-ring class. To be the man you should be informed, and to be informed is one key to your success. Here's a little bit of what went down this past week in wrestling. This is just a tid bit, so go out there and get informed! www.f4wonline.com and The Wrestling Observer Reports:
-TNA released to Variety that starting 3/8 they go 9-11 p.m. on Monday nights against Raw.
They go live alternate weeks and taped on the other week.
-Daniel Bryan does, in fact, appear to be Bryan Danielson's new WWE name
-We're sad to report the death of Brian Brewer, who wrestled as Bryan Hart, a Louisiana based pro wrestler who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 38. His death is said to be related to asthma.
-Zach Gowen is out of action with a torn ACL
-The Original Sheik documentary (Trailer)
-Jack Evans & Young Bucks vs. Cima & Gamma & Dragon Kid was announced for 3/26 in Phoenix on the Dragon Gate USA show.
-One of the oldest indie groups in the country, Southern States Wrestling, runs its 19th anniversary show on 2/26 in Kingsport, TN at the National Guard Armory with Ray Idol vs. Frank Parker as the main event, plus Ricky Morton appears and there is an 18 man Cyclone Stampede.
-The Santino Marella sitcom they finished taping three shows last week. They'll air on WWE.com first and I guess if things go well they'll see if they can get it picked up somewhere. It stars Santino, Kozlov as his wacky pal, and Beth Phoenix as his girlfriend.
-WWE developmental girl Jenny Quinn, who was working as Penny Cash, was released this week.
-Former NWA Heavyweight Champion Gene Kiniski is still in rough shape battling cancer at his home in Bellingham, Wash.
-WWE NXT - It says the concept is that eight superstars will be teamed up with eight rookies in a reality-show type format with FCW talent struggling to get a shot on Raw or Smackdown. The show "will have pros mentoring rookies, with egos often getting in the way, as they learn the ropes of competing in the ring in front of live audiences, creating characters and speaking on camera." So basically, Tough Enough 2010, likely with some twists
-TNA hired Dave Taylor as an agent.
-New Japan announced today that "Strongman" Jon Anderson would be making his first tour for them in March competing for the New Japan Cup where the winner of that tournament will get a shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Title
-Chris Jericho as the mentor for Wade Barrett
Matt Hardy as the mentor for Justin Gabriel (who was Justin Angel in FCW, the current FCW champion)
MVP as the mentor for Skip Sheffield
Carlito as the mentor for Michael Tarver
Miz as the mentor for Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) and there is humor in that
Christian as the mentor for Heath Slater
C.M. Punk as the mentor for Darren Young (longtime Northeast indie wrestler Fred Sampson)
R-Truth as the mentor for David Otungs (Jennifer Hudson's fiance)
-AAA: Hernandez is being sent in by TNA, at least for a few appearances. Also coming in are Rain (who was Payton Banks in TNA years ago), Jennifer Blake, Lizzy Valentine and Christina Von Eerie as heel foreigners.
