Taya Valkyrie Off Bound For Glory

Impact Wrestling announced today that Taya Valkyrie will not be appearing at tomorrow’s Bound For Glory in Ottawa. And, apparently, she will not be on hand for the television tapings Impact Wrestling will be holding next week, either.

Due to circumstances beyond our control @TheTayaValkyrie will not be at #BFG2017 or the tapings. We look forward to seeing Taya in 2018.

No word as to why Taya is missing the show, but her Red Wedding match with Rosemary that was scheduled for tomorrow’s show has now been canceled.

Taya took to Twitter to address the situation.

I’ll post a video this afternoon and chat w all of you. 2 say I’m disappointed is an understatement. I’m devastated, but I’ll be back in Jan https://t.co/n8HCEueKHW

Jimmy Jacobs Crashes WrestleCircus’ Party

Recently “freed” former WWE writer Jimmy Jacobs seems to be popping up everywhere since he and WWE parted ways. Last weekend, it was at ROH War Of The Worlds, and tonight, it was WrestleCircus in Texas. Jacobs showed up at the end of Sami Callihan’s match and proceeded to take Callihan out.

The Zombie Princess got on the house mic and didn’t hold back on how he was feeling.

”For the last two years, I’ve been writing promos for guys who couldn’t hold my microphone.”

He then encouraged fans to take pictures with him during the show’s intermission. Apparently, his “You’re Fired Selfie” is a big thing these days.

Bobby Lashley On Bound For Glory

During a recent interview, Bobby Lashley talked about stepping into the Six Sides Of Steel at next month’s Impact Wrestling Bound For Glory.

“It’s home for me. It’s not a big deal for me. I was ready for almost anything. I’ve had little feuds with Moose from time to time, and I think Moose is a great competitor. However, right now my game is at a very high level so I don’t think anybody can really match the level that I’m at. It’s just for me, I just have to decide what I’m gonna do. That’s the big thing that’s been going on right now. It’s, am I going to go full time wrestling or am I gonna go full time fighting, but I think the pay-per-view is going to definitely determine what I do.”

Bound For Glory In Ottawa

As we reported over the weekend, Impact Wrestling let the cat out of that bag that the promotion’s biggest show of the year will be headed north of the border to Canada. Today, Impact Wrestling took to Twitter to let everyone know that this year’s big show would be held in Ottawa.

BREAKING: #BFG2017 will be held in Ottawa, Ontario Canada on Sunday, November 5th!

Interestingly enough, in the official announcement for Bound For Glory’s location, there was no mention of Global Force Wrestling whatsoever.

Jim Cornette Leaves GFW & Impact Wrestling

Well, after being there for short amount of time and after saying that he was there as long as he was wanted, it’s being reported that Jim Cornette has parted ways with Global Force Wrestling. This appears to have something to do with Bound For Glory being held in Canada.

Cornette hasn’t been to Canada since 2010, when he was turned away at the border when they ran his record, which included a number of assaults, mostly stemming from incidents involving fights with fans who attacked him while he was a manager at matches in the 1980s. He has traveled regularly to Canada during his WWE tenure, but he never attended Ring Of Honor shows when the promotion traveled to Toronto.

Cornette has said that there is no heat on either side with his departure; it is just a matter of circumstance.

GFW Bound For Glory Headed Up North

While we will wait to tell you the city until Monday…. #BFGCanada 11.5 pic.twitter.com/KMzzRJRUTG

No word on what city Bound For Glory will take place in, but if one had to make an educated guess, it’s probably Toronto. That’s where Anthem’s headquarters are located.

Taya Valkyrie Talks GFW Debut

On a recent edition of Ring Rust Radio, Taya Valkyrie talked making her debut in GFW on Impact Wrestling.

“I’m constantly trying to expand where I am wrestling and who I am wrestling and looking for the best female wrestlers everywhere, you know what I mean? Karen and Jeff had known me for about five years and they would come down to Mexico and work with AAA all the time. Karen and I would laugh about me coming to work with her and do her projects with her and stuff, but I just couldn’t. It was really an exciting thing to be asked to be a part of it. I am really happy and excited to see what happens. It’s a different opportunity, it’s a different demographic than the lucha libre crowd and I get to wrestle some girls that I’ve never worked with before. It’s a new challenge for me so I’m very excited.”

She also had a few words for Sexy Star, who as we reported, had a now-infamous incident with GFW star Rosemary during AAA’s TripleMania, and with whom Taya has a bit of history with.

“I don’t want to go too much into it because honestly, I don’t want to give more attention to something or someone that doesn’t need it. Rosemary is the nicest, most professional woman, and a fellow Canadian. Obviously, I had the privilege and continued privilege to work with her. I was so embarrassed and disappointed watching that match on a whole, not just the finish but the whole thing. I consider myself as an international woman and a face of what women’s wrestling is in AAA, and I just feel so embarrassed and I think basically that’s all I can say about it. It was so ridiculous to me, uncalled for and unprofessional. I was so disappointed and I continue to be disappointed by it. I just feel like it happened but it’ll never happen again. I hope to God it never happens again.

“I experienced similar situations in my five years being in AAA with different female wrestlers there in the Indies throughout Mexico because I am Canadian, I look different, it’s crazy to me, but it still exists. There are still people that are just out for themselves. It is what it is, but I’m so happy that Rosemary is doing better because I can’t wait to kick her ass.”

Alberto El Patron’s GFW Return Confirmed

As we reported yesterday, there were plans in the works for Rey Mysterio and Alberto El Patron to face off at GFW’s Bound For Glory later this year, but those fell through due to El Patron’s suspension and the talks between GFW and Mysterio falling through. But during a GFW conference call today, John Gaburick, one of the members of the company’s creative team, confirmed that El Patron will be returning to the promotion for Bound For Glory in November.

“We have plans for Alberto, we’re excited that he’s gonna be coming back at Bound For Glory. We’re excited about the future for Alberto, he’s an amazing talent and as a creative group we’re really excited to come up with some real cool scenarios and stories for him in the upcoming months.”

Bram Tries To Clear The Air

After a furor on social media this morning where fans were extremely vocal about their displeasure at Ireland’s OTT Wrestling for booking Bram, the promotion canceled his appearance. Bram then took to social media to tell his side of the story.

Bram, in part, said he was falsely accused by someone out to hurt his reputation and that he has never physically harmed a woman. He then called out the so-called “social justice warriors”, accusing them of hateful rhetoric.

Bram was arrested in 2015 and charged with one count of domestic battery by strangulation as well as one count of false imprisonment after authorities responded to calls of a fight in his home. It was noted in the arrest report that he admitted to holding the victim down by her throat and refused to let her leave a bedroom. He later plead not guilty to all charges. The case was resolved when the State Attorney’s office declined to prosecute.
