The Wrestletaint.gov Hotline is saying it's major. I'm waiting for the story as we speak, but right now they're just giving me a whole bunch of non-relevant stories like how Wrestlemania isn't going to sell out in Hartford this year. And that Sting has his eyes on winning the U.S. title. And now they're talking about the WWF interested in signing Brian Pillman....
....wait a second.....
Wrestlemania isn't in Hartford this year.
AHHHHHH SHIT! I forgot again. Wrestletaint.gov hasn't updated their news hotline in 21 years. Goddammit!!!! I've been on the phone for 13 minutes already. Why do I keep going there? This is the fourth time I've done it.

www.voicesofwrestling.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1046Seems the Tweet I made from my personal account has caused quite the stir. I will address it here, and then never address it again. I am not a journalist and have never claimed to be. I do a podcast, write reviews, and a few times per year when the situation is right, our site or our podcast will break the occasional news story (the infamous Dixie email, Steen signing with WWE, Ibushi to EVOLVE/Kaiju, Candice/GFW no show drama, PWS stuff, the end of DGUSA, etc). We are not and have never claimed to be a news site. Tons of hard news & rumors finds our DM box that we choose to sit on, and there are people reading this right now who know full well that we (myself & Rich) sit on TONS of "scoops", especially when specifically asked not to speak about it. If we wanted to be a news site or hunt for cheap clicks, we could very easily do so. The story I Tweeted about has been cooking for months, and somehow stayed quiet. It is now making the rounds, and being hinted about publicly. I am not going to break it. I have no interest in breaking it for a variety of reasons. It would drive CLICKS for sure, but it isn't my place to report it and it isn't what we do here. My belief is that it will come out soon because the person has enemies (to be fair, who doesn't?) who will find a some pleasure in outing it. That won't be me. People are running wild with it on places like Wreddit. Your mileage on the word "major" may vary. I feel like it's a major story because it involves someone who works full time in the wrestling business and reputation(s?) will be ruined. Some may not consider it a "major" story. There are people who will read this who are aware of the situation. This is not me asking them to back me up or to out themselves. In fact, I prefer that they don't confirm or break it here, because I want no connection to this for a number of reasons. I may have underestimated the power of Twitter or my own reputation as a news source in peoples eyes when I made the Tweet. I made it from my personal account, and figured my friends would see it and didn't think it would cause much of a stir. That was stupid, but at this point it's whatever, because the toothpaste cant be put back in the tube. I won't ever speak about it again. If/when (more like when) it comes out, I'm not going to claim to have broken it, or confirm it as being what I was talking about or anything like that. I made the Tweet, I have to own that, but I want nothing to do with actually breaking the news or claiming I instigated it breaking. If I was interested in that, I'd simply write the story and publish it here. So that's that. Sorry for working everybody up. And I said this on Twitter, but I'll say it here too. If you followed me based on that tweet, you are welcomed to stick around, but I am never tweeting a follow up and I almost never tweet about wrestling. That account is extremely boring unless you like college basketball and Reds baseball. Might as well unfollow. I wasn't looking for cheap Twitter follows. Joe : People like to gossip on the Internet? When the f*** did this happen? On a side note I hope there is some breaking story and it is the mother of anti-climaxes.....which at this point it probably will be

I ain't reading 8 f***in' pages. Is there any actual news or are we being trolled? Based on this, and based on the regular postage in this thread, I feel like we need to update every page with "Nope, no news yet." On that note, nope, no news yet.

So, nothing of worth has been found out since this cryptic stuff started?

To make this easier, I or one of the other staff will update the thread title and OP if anything happens, that way people don't need to search around the thread for updates. If something happens, you'll know.

wait, huge RAMifications? Randy the Ram is alive! Wait, no. It was a typo. Huge BRAMifications. Major wrestling story hidden beneath the surface? Check. Hope, for his sake, that it never comes out? Check. Guys. I've got it. It's this: Lolol. I knew this was a running gag, but I've never actually seen it. Day made.

Damn it. Matt Harvey's missing now too. Did Hulk Hogan kidnap Matt Harvey or something. What the hell is going on in the news today?

I'm sorry guys. I have to break the news to you.... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Archibald Peck is the Mysterious and Handsome Stranger. You don't want to get into the business of unmasking a Chikara wrestler. Just ask Joe Lanza about that. May god help your soul. but he didn't unmask a CHIKARA wrestler, Archibald Peck did (when he revealed himself to be The Mysterious and Handsome Stranger at "Under the Hood")

Everyone looked like idiots.

You obviously weren't there at the Tom Zenk Look-a-like Contest at the Lake Minnetonka Recreation Center last July like I was. I still can't believe three people died over an argument over somebody who looked more like Jim Brunzell than Zenk.

"Guys I have a huge story but I won't say what it is... Yeah that's it, I don't want to say. I won't even talk about it! Outside of all my cryptic tweets of course!"

Everyone looked like idiots. Never has there been a bigger mess over something/someone so very irrelevant. Not even the time WWE fired someone over fuzzy boots? Seriously though, I got Uproxx's point in the matter being that he did it in public, but the entire Colony is an open secret at this point and not many people care that much. Between their whining and Lanza being a passive-aggressive asshat in response, it just became ridiculous.

He also had no business finishing third.

It seems to me like this is huge, sordid, and life-ruining scandal about someone who isn't at all associated with the WWE and so isn't a very major player in wresting. pleasedontbeQuackpleasedontbeQuack Omg who did Chrisley's wife run over with her car

Is the story about the pictures Babydoll was gonna use to blackmail Dusty?
In all seriousness this sounds like already a letdown, what can be so sordid that the guy won't reveal it, this f***er sounds like he's breaking watergate.
From the title of the thread, if the story isn't about wwe covering criminal acts or some promoter doing lewd acts then I'm not interested.
