slammiversary – Indian Pro Wrestling Base / Your Daily Source to Wrestling News Wed, 12 Jul 2017 12:29:29 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 /wp-content/uploads/2015/08/logo-sport-150x90.png slammiversary – Indian Pro Wrestling Base / 32 32 Vince Russo’s The Brand Recap – Paige & Del Rio Drama, Disco Inferno in WWE, Breaking Down Triple H’s Success, More! /vince-russos-the-brand-recap-paige-del-rio-drama-disco-inferno-in-wwe-breaking-down-triple-hs-success-more/ Wed, 12 Jul 2017 12:29:29 +0000 /vince-russos-the-brand-recap-paige-del-rio-drama-disco-inferno-in-wwe-breaking-down-triple-hs-success-more/ Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane and Glenn Gilbertti (Disco Inferno).

Lane asks Russo and Gilbertti for their opinions on the rumours that Paige was sitting ringside at Slammiversary last weekend wearing a mask in order to protect her identity. Gilbertti says that he can’t lower his IQ enough to discuss this on an intellectual level. Russo says that if that was Paige, it’s easy to tell that this was a desperate move by her in order to get out of her contract.

Paige clearly wants to be with her boyfriend Del Rio in Global Force Wrestling, so Russo doesn’t understand why both parties can’t get on the same page here and make that release happen. WWE has actually referenced Paige’s leaked sex tape on WWE the last couple of weeks, but then they removed those references from the replays.

Gilbertti doesn’t understand this because the average age of their fans is 54, yet they’re still acting like they have to market to a young demographic. Russo says that if this was the attitude era, Del Rio would have been signed after Paige’s tape was released, and the storyline would have consisted of Del Rio and Paige accusing Xavier Woods of releasing that tape. This would have been a great storyline and everyone would have been talking about it.

]]> DeAngelo Williams: Slammiversary Was A One-Off, Done Wrestling For Now /deangelo-williams-slammiversary-was-a-one-off-done-wrestling-for-now/ Thu, 06 Jul 2017 04:18:00 +0000 /deangelo-williams-slammiversary-was-a-one-off-done-wrestling-for-now/

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Current NFL free agent running back (most recently with the Pittsburgh Steelers) DeAngelo Williams is calling it quits after just one match. The Carolina Panthers all-time leading rusher made an impressive debut at GFW’s Slammiversary XV this past Sunday, yet has decided to hang up his boots after the match (he teamed with Moose against Eli Drake and Chris Adonis).

Dave Meltzer was impressed with the wrestling rookie’s first outing noting, “This guy, in his first match…is probably better than almost anyone…with two years training in WWE. And a lot of guys with two years training in New Japan!…It was freaky how good he was.”

Despite the glowing reviews, DeAngleo Williams told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on his recent podcast that the appearance was a one-off and a tribute to his late uncle. He is now turning his attention to the upcoming football season, stating, “I’m definitely playing football [this year]. I guess you could say I’m waiting on the phone call.”

Although his debut was successful, it wasn’t perfect, as his frogsplash attempt on Adonis didn’t quite hit the mark. At least DeAngelo seems to have a good sense of humor about it.

]]> TNA Impact Changing Their Name Again /tna-impact-changing-their-name-again/ Sat, 01 Jul 2017 08:25:25 +0000 /tna-impact-changing-their-name-again/ It looks like the once “TNA” name is once again getting a new name change.

With the news of the merger between TNA/Impact Wrestling and Global Force Wrestling, Tenessean.com reports that this will eventually lead to the company being re-branded as GFW (Global Force Wrestling) moving forward.

The belief is that their weekly television show that airs on Pop TV will keep the “Impact” name and the headquarters will remain in Nashville, TN. Sunday’s Slammiversary show is being considered a ‘re-launch’ of the company’s pay-per-view business.
