I was checking that bastion of wrestling journalistic integrity LOP earlier, and they had a news story entitled "Some wrestlers got older today". Why wont the mainstream press cover positive stories like this? Yeah, Chris Benoit killed himself and his family, and yeah a lot of wrestlers have OD'd in the past 10 years. That doesnt change the fact that 100% of the WWE roster got older today.

On a personal note, I also got older today.

New Jack Interview Recap
by Neal Jones

New Jack was the guest on the November 26th edition of the In Your Head Wrestling Online show, hosted by Jack, One Inch Biceps and Barbie Richards at http://www.inyourheadonline.com

New Jack is welcomed to the show and mentions his new federation 2XFW. New Jack says it stands for 2 Xtreme F’ing Wrestling. If it has New Jack’s name on it, it has to be something different. New Jack says it won’t just be hardcore it has to be something that relates to him. It’s not a family show, if you want to bring your kids that’s your business. You don’t know what you will see on his shows, maybe a t*tty popping out in the ladies match, New Jack doing blood and guts and fire. New Jack runs down some of the roster including names like Axl Rotten and Mad Man Pondo.

New Jack says December 15th he will be taking on Pondo in a “Someone is Gonna Die Death Match” at the Blood Bath show in Cincinnati, OH at 3509 Warsaw Avenue. Jack says he and Pondo go way back and going to do what they do best, beat the hell out of each other.

Host Jack asks if New Jack wanted to start the promotion. New Jack explains he was in a bar one night and a buddy of his said he has a building in Cincinnati that he was gonna get rid of and gave the keys to New Jack to do his own thing. New Jack says he wasn’t looking to do it but the chance came up. He says people are tired of what Vince is doing, people will travel from other states to see what New Jack is doing.

New Jack talks about Vince McMahon’s motivation behind the new ECW. He agrees that they started it to kill off the legacy of ECW. Vince doesn’t have the mind to do what ECW started, now people laugh when they hear ECW. Vince killed the name. New Jack says he couldn’t get enough money, then jokes will yes he can, to work there. He says look at Balls Mahoney he isn’t worth a dime now, WWE made him look like a joke.

Host Jack asks if WWE asked New Jack to be a part of the new ECW when it started. New Jack says he wouldn’t because the first thing they do is want your name, no one will pay to see Jerome (his real name). You don’t hear “we want Jerome” chants. New Jack says Vince would buy his name and character then put it on the shelf.

New Jack says the guys in ECW now were fans when he was main eventing the original ECW. He wouldn’t put those guys over, he might stab those guys though.

Jack asks if WWE ever said New Jack couldn’t use his name, like “King of Old School” or “Justin Credible”. New Jack says no, but the guys who go there they make into a memory.

New Jack talks about taping over an hour of footage for the recent CNN special. He said he was very anti WWE saying Vince was a rapist and a murder etc and has gotten away with it for years. New Jack claims Vince wouldn’t let CNN use him on the special. New Jack says all the interviews on it were hand picked by Vince.

New Jack talks about the hand picked interviews on the CNN special saying Vince didn’t use steroids or isn’t all bad and that Chris Benoit wasn’t such a bad guy. New Jack says yes Benoit was a bad guy, “when you choke your kid and murder him and your wife you ain’t nothing good and nobody should ever say anything good about you again in life”. New Jack says no one should defend that mother f-er.

New Jack says his opinion on Vince McMahon is he in the same level as Saddam Hussein and they should string him up by his neck and hang him. He doesn’t give a sh*t about him and never did, anyone who defends Vince McMahon is getting a check from him.

New Jack says he never liked Paul E for the same reasons he doesn‘t like Vince. New Jack isn’t an ass kisser like Tommy Dreamer and Taz etc were for Paul Heyman. New Jack says he was in prison for 3 years and didn’t get f’d then and he won’t now.

New Jack doesn’t believe in ass kissing, he won’t play the game. New Jack says he got himself over by being real, and the people know that. New Jack doesn’t care who it is, he won’t take any bullsh*t. He says Paul E tried to kill him by making him do jobs after he cut the kid (referring to the Mass Transit incident). New Jack says he will do the job he doesn’t care, so he started diving off stuff to keep himself over. So when he jobs people don’t remember that they just remember his big dive. ECW died 8 years ago and his name is still over.

Host Jack asks what New Jack thought of Shawn Michaels using the cross-face on PPV. New Jack says who gives a sh*t it’s a work. He hasn’t watched WWE since Spike Dudley debuted.

New Jack says f*ck Paul Heyman, he‘s another crook, he is Vince’s lieutenant. He sold his company to Vince McMahon after filing bankruptcy, it was a scam. Vince bought ECW so he should have bought Paul’s debt too. New Jack never got the $3 million that Paul E owed him. He hopes Paul E gets hit by a fruit truck and killed. New Jack says all the guys who came to work for WWE after ECW folded had to agree not to sue Paul E as a stipulation before working there. New Jack says he is 44 years old and he won’t play the game, if you mess with his money he will kill you. Now Paul E makes $5000 a week to sit home and hasn‘t been on TV for a year, just so he can be Vince McMahon’s butt buddy. New Jack hopes Paul’s momma dies of a heart attack.

New Jack says he ain’t diving off of sh*t anymore, you’d be lucky if he can jump out of bed. Last time he dove was to make Jeff Jarrett mad in TNA. New Jack quit a few weeks after that. New Jack says TNA got mad he swore. They said not to say b*tch, then after his segment TNA brought out a female team called “the b*tch ass something”. New Jack says that’s like saying he can’t say the f-bomb then having a tag team called “the butt f’ers”. New Jack says they played the same game as they did in USWA with Bill Behrens.

New Jack says to come out to see him at the December 15th 2XFW show in Cincinnati. He says he won’t have guys going “f this f that f this” but if they swear in a promo that’s fine. If people want to bring their own bottles and drinks, he doesn’t care bring it. It’s his show and he will do what he wants. He says he hired all his boys to work the show.

Jack asks if working on the creative end was something he always wanted to do. New Jack says he helped Paul E. come up with a lot. This new company will be all his and their will be some retarded stuff on the show.

New Jack says January 5th he has a show with all backyard wrestlers. If you live in the area email New Jack at newjackuncut187@yahoo.com or visit his myspace at http://www.myspace.com/newjackuncut and contact him about being on the show. New Jack invited anybody, they don’t have to have any experience. They can kill each other and New Jack will just say good match. New Jack never did it himself but he gets a kick out of watching it. They don’t know what they are doing they just kill eachother, if people don’t like he doesn’t care.

OIB asks a question from RJD on the IYH message board, what are New Jack’s thoughts on WSX. New Jack says it was just a spot show. You had to come out doing moonsaults, it was a 30 minute show so it only had 22 minutes of wrestling with 4 minute matches. It gave some new guys some exposure, anyone who knew anything knew it wouldn’t last.

Jack mentions the current WWE 24/7 Legend of Wrestling edition where they talked about legit Bad Asses in the wrestling business where Mick Foley picked Gypsy Joe. New Jack says that means absolutely nothing to him. Foley probably picked Joe because he felt sorry for him, since Jack beat him up with a baseball bat. New Jack says Foley picked Gypsy Joe and not New Jack because Foley couldn’t follow him with a GPA. Foley was going through padded tables so f him. He was just saying I’m picking Gypsy Joe and not New Jack. New Jack says he doesn’t give a sh*t about “Nick Foley” or “Cactus Foley” or “Jack Nick” or whatever his name is. He’s just a charity case. He was thrown off a cage on a padded table and made to look like a big dea, New Jack was thrown off higher places.

OIB asks New Jack about Dog the Bounty Hunter. New Jack says f that no good racist m-fer (with several other phrases thrown in there). New Jack says nobody saying he did it, Dog did it. It wasn’t an accident the n word doesn’t accidentally come out of your moth you have to think about it. New Jack says the whole show was a joke with his big fat wife, you didn’t give big speeches when he was bounty hunting. You just locked them up.

Jack and New Jack talk about the possibility of a Reality Show. If anyone out there is interested in that idea and could sponsor it email Jack at jack@inyourheadonline.com. New Jack says it can be him his side kick and a one gold toothed woman.

New Jack says “I’m going to say to you, your co-hosts, all the people out there…what the slave owners said when he freed the slaves…bye n*****s”

New Jack has been giving the same interview for 8 years now, and it's old and tiresome.

Don't fuck with me or my money or I'll kill you.

(insert name) is a bitch and I'll fuck him up if I see him on the street.

I haven't watched wrestling since (insert time).

Fuck him and his tired, lying ass.

Senshi/Low Ki Quits

At a meeting today with all talent, Dixie Carter offered everyone their release if they wanted it. Only Senshi (a/k/a Low Ki) took them up on the offer.

It's almost like they're TRYING to follow WCW's every move, right down to Eric Bischoff offering disgruntled talent the door. Of course, it's been almost ten years later, so OF COURSE Raven wasn't going to walk out this time. But you've gotta love that for as much huffing and puffing that the disgruntled talent has done over the past couple of weeks, no one but Senshi actually walked out when push came to shove.

Low Ki is a wrestling god in Japan, so I don't feel too sorry for him. He'll be alright. And he definitely doesn't need to show up on Thursday's iMPACT! to indulge one of Vince Russo's dumb ideas.

That's really not that cool

According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, several wrestlers are saying that Carlito gave notice to WWE sometime over the last few days, and is expected to leave the company in the upcoming weeks. Things for the young superstar have been far from good in the past year or so, as there obviously seemed to be a problem with him and management somewhere down the road. Not a whole lot more is known at the time, nor is anything confirmed or for sure, but time will tell what the future holds for the Puerto Rican.

Look for his new catchphrase in TNA "Now that's fairly interesting"

Masterpiece done

What the fuck did they expect? Guy is signed all jacked up. Ends up getting a big push. Turns out guy needs rehab. Comes back and gets jobbed. Then is made fun of on camera for now being smaller. Do you think there's a chance that sends the message that he needs to get back on the juice? Then they fire him for being on the juice. Fucking ridiculous.

Brooke quits

Brooke, one third of the Slut Squad on ECW, has been released. Between that and the fact that this week on ECW the Balls-Miz feud was completely forgotten about, my guess is Superman's black sister is next.

Don't understand this, really. They coulda shipped her to Raw and made her a jobber. There need to be female jobbers besides just Maria -- otherwise how else will they get over the next psycho-heel once they get bored with Phoenix like they do every other woman not named Torrie Wilson?

Junior Fatu done already

Junior Fatu (Rikishi) is done with TNA as the two sides couldn't come to a contract agreement.

There goes the new Wild Samoans gimmick I was hoping him and Joe would start.

He lasted about as long a Test. Is this like the new TNA thing?

"Shit guys, look at all these WWE rejects we missed, lets hire them for a month and then get rid of them!"

TMZ is reporting that Linda Bollea filed for divorce from Terry Bollea on Tuesday, November 20, 2007. Two days before Thanksgiving... OUCH! They also have a link to the court document they are taking the news from. No reason has been ascertained yet.

Take Your Vitamins, Say Your Prayers, Fuck Your Daughters Tits, and Call Your Lawyers Brother!

Wrestlemania XXXI: Hulk Hogan vs Ric Flair in a "loser has to sadly keep doing this to pay bills match."

TNA's booking/creative team has recently expanded officially taking on Mike Tenay and then welcoming Jeremy Borash and reportedly Abyss!

The committee now includes Jarrett at the top, followed by Dutch Mantel, then Vince Russo compiling the actual scripts. Tenay and Borash offer a second opinion and Abyss is "sitting in."

If only they would ditch Mantel. I think Russo gets too much credit for the crap in TNA. I would think Tenay sticks up for the X-Division guys, Borash probably puts over the Knockouts, and Abyss just sits there throwing thumbtacks on the table then setting it ablaze while yelling FOOOOF!

I appreciate Jarrett doing things the right way by doing his job backstage and putting over everyone else but himself.

Some tidbits to share with you guys as I just got the mag today:

• Hes been training the past 6 months at Lance Storm's wrestling school.
• Says he has a new finisher and some new moves and ideas. He still plans to keep the Walls of Jericho move.
• Considers the hour long HBK vs Cena RAW match as why he watches wrestling.
• Wants to wrestle Undertaker, MVP, or Kennedy. But still claims to have unfinished business with Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Considers his last two matches with Cena as his best.

The rest is just about his book and what led to his departure. Its a two page read, came across well enough.

Weird...nothing on Storm's blog indicates that Jericho's been around the wrestling school. Storm even went as far as to comment that he hasn't asked Jericho about his return so as to be surprised when watching the shows. The return of kayfabe!!! Go Lance and Jericho!

At last night's Smackdown/ECW tapings in Wichita, JBL and John Morrison got involved in a verbal and physical backstage altercation stemming from Morrison & Miz's commentary work.

During Punk's match with Jamie Noble The Miz and John Morrison were given a commentary segment which rubbed JBL the wrong way. Bradshaw thought they were hurting Punk's character by laying in to him, rather than coming across as proper heels.

Then during their match against Matt Hardy and MVP, JBL thought they were continuing their "bad attitude," in the ring.

This caused a big altercation backstage where JBL gathered all the parties and ripped in to Miz and Morrison, forcing them to apologize to Punk, Hardy and MVP.

Miz was receptive but Morrison couldn't take it, saying " you" to JBL, "it's none of your business." He went as far as to shove JBL, by which point it was broken up.

I actually agree with JBL. And why not? JBL's the best color man in the business who actually has MADE stars through his commentary. His constant praise of guys like Matt Hardy and Londrick made you believe they were big deals. Morrison and Miz's commentary on ECW was a debacle of the highest magnitude. They should be so lucky as to have 1/100th the credibility JBL does on the stick. They both came across as Indy-no-hopers, bar Morrison's one funny line about Kung-Fu Jesus. I agree with JBL here. He's a veteran, and the two pretty much buried Punk, The ECW title and made fools of themselves on national TV.

Since Paul Heyman's WWE contract expired several months ago, he's been rumored to be working on a new project outside of the wrestling business. A press release has been sent out announcing Heyman's new project: "The Heyman Hustle".

The Heyman Hustle is a new "broadband reality series", hosted by Paul Heyman, focusing on the exciting chaos that is life in New York City. The show will be availalbe online in 10-minute segments as well as 1-minute segments available on broadband mobile devices. A video trailer has been released featuring Heyman shown in a studio as well as on a New York subway and in Times Square. Heyman comes across as very slick and charismatic.

Here are the details:

Masters. What a tool.

They caught baby bulldog with steroids in his system? Maybe they should start calling him HGH Smith? Get it, 'cause he uses, umm, ya. Anyhoo, you'd think that when your dad DIED YOUNG from complications of steroid abuse, that maybe, just maybe you'd stay away from the shit. And get new trunks. That part's not inclusive to my first comment, but just an observation. His gear looks like part of a shitty homemade Halloween costume. Dear God.
