Tessa Blanchard, I think she was? She’s taking some booking in Canada for CWE. ..and she just signed on for at least 3 dates with XPW coming up. Holy shit. Get your popcorn ready for this one.

The indies are a refuge for these types. DeMott was mentioned....Tommy Dreamer was still booked even during the DSOTR controversy. Think Drake Wueritz made the rounds before turning up in, you guessed it, XPW. One indy here almost booked Velveteen Dream after his release! Then there's the fact that some indy shows in this area allowed RF Video to have a merch table, long after Pretend You Said 18-gate.

I figured you might already know, but if so I’m surprised you didn’t mention it in your post. RF even still runs his own promotion and books some pretty big names. Here is the company in question (posting a link to Cagematch for awareness, not to promote RF): www.cagematch.net/?id=8&nr=3126Looking at that it looks like their next card is in July and features a number of big names including those cancelled, close to cancelled, CYN types, and just legends who are probably on the cheaper end of legends to book. In December 2021 though they even got traction on Twitter when they teased a Hardy Boys reunion. I had to go on here to find out it was RF behind it as at the time the details were better hidden. There’s a laundry list of big names still willing to work for the guy and unfortunately the more probable reason more big names aren’t on the July card has more to do with them being under contract than RF being a scumbag.

At a few other forums had people mistake the new RF fed for one of my locals ,BattleZone Championship Wrestling or Battle Zone for short. I wondered why I was getting messages asking how Faroh and Joey were booking Matt Cardona and Bully Ray. Saw the new fed and then quickly learned who is the money behind it. There is a fairly big name on the indies,that is based out of NOLA,that haas done shoots and other work for RF video since Rob got exposed. When asked about it this wrestler is like a hawk with fast reply "He was never conviced and pays good. I got kids" Always found that a LUKE warm reply. But this was also before this guy was doing piles of stunt and extra work in film and TV. On the other hand this guy is still close with Orlando Jordan.

Then there's the fact that some indy shows in this area allowed RF Video to have a merch table, long after Pretend You Said 18-gate. The Deep South indies are getting better about policing who is allowed to work events. LIke for all the crap I give DCW,Mobile AL based fed,they did cut ties with a commentary guy when it became public knowledge he was convicted of second degree sodomy on a female under 15 ,happened 20 years ago,and is on the SOR. This guy,one of the coastal indie wrestlers is a cop and got a nice copy of the dude's arrest and SOR listing,then hooked up with New South Pro Wrestling,north AL based fed. Was bringing them to Mobile. Mobile show gets canceled and last we heard New South has cut ties with SOR dude. Or hell 3 years ago my girlfriend was bored at work and looking at the SOR for each county in MS. "Hey isn;t this guy one I have seen in your footage from shows?" Look and yep it is him. See him at most shows in a 3 hour drive from here. Look into it and his was a case from when he was 19 and his girlfriend was 16. Her parents pressed charges. Well all the feds got informed and had a talk about it. Since the guy at shows always has his wife by him. And it was so long ago it was decided to just keep an eye on him at shows. But also all this has changed in the past 15 years. 20 years ago some sleazy stuff was happening all over the three states.....

Each time I see an ad for a new shindie in California, brian kendrick is almost always on the poster. He's the cockroach that always surfaces when you think he's been stomped on.

Chase Owens pretty much sticks to TN/KY indies now when he is in the states wrestling. Didn't Ellisworth get canceled? He worked EPW,north MS fed,and Memphis in the past 3 years. There is piles of smaller indies that wwill book prety much anyone that aint killed someone or got busted for CP. Owens is from the same area as I am. I Google to try and find out what happened but didn't see anything. What's his deal?

From what I found he is generally creepy, brags about sleeping with underaged “rats”, and is something of a sex pest. No clue how true it is but multiple people have verified it.

Tessa Blanchard and XPW sounds like a match made in Hell.

Admited ,not sure if this was public or not,to being mentally abusive to an ex.

He never got cancelled but Tyrus is NWA Champion despite being accused of sexually harassing women at Fox News and also being terrible at everything wrestling-related.

I looked up the Sexy Star/Rosemary incident for Gecko's LU watch earlier, and I was a little surprised to see that she still gets bookings on the Mexico indie circuit. Would've figured she'd have yeeted back to MMA entirely. There's Marty Scurll who at least as of a couple years ago resurfaced in Puerto Rico looking like if Juice Robinson was made of old, unsalvageable leather and cutting promos that could make you wonder why you thought he was a good promo once upon a time. I remember New Japan attempting to bring him back years ago, made it as far as one pre-taped segment before word got out and the backlash forced them to kibosh it. Also remember that utter waste of space Santino attempting to book him for Battle Arts last year and trying to play the "everyone deserves a second chance" card. Yeah, no. From what I can find on Cagematch, that got backpedaled in a hurry. At least one of the places that still books him also books the aforementioned Sexy Star, soooooo...
