Here We Are at 500! the BRL’S 500 to Be Exact and What a Trip It Has Been el Fans, here we are at 500! The BRL’s 500 to be exact and what a trip it has been. Imagibash 15 was a huge success and the action got so intense that your old pal the Teamster had to get involved. The exclusive coverage of that ppv is in this very issue so I won’t spoil it and give away the ending like how the ship sinks in Titanic. The Johnny B. Cup is down to just four and here are the representatives from each of the IWAR’s promotions; • BRL Final: Sir Gunther Kinderwacht (last year’s winner) • CWL Final: Jane the Vixen Red (BRL, winner of 2017 Unknown Wrestler League) • IWL Final: Nasty Norman Krasner • NWL Final: Ricky Kyle In one semi-final, we will see bitter rivals Kinderwacht and Red face off while in the other the red-hot Ricky Kyle will face the, well, Nasty Normal Krasner. One of these four will win The self-professed “Greatest Tag team wrestler the 4th Johnny B Cup and the results will determine the breakdown of the prizes. ? in the world” debuted in the NWL in 2012 and taunt-filled promos earned him many enemies. The 26th Marano Memorial is also down to the final 5… FIVE? Well since the Suburban Hell His “Teamster Challenge” offered a prize to any Savages: Agent 26 & Punk Rock Mike and Badd Co: Rick Challenger & Rick Riley went to a NWL rookie who could capture a Tag Team title draw, we will have a rematch. The winner will advance to face Sledge and Hammer who won with him, but turned ugly when he kept blaming the CWL bracket. The other semi-final match up will see the IWL’s winning team, Graham them when they didn’t win. His hapless singles Underwood & Kennedy Cage face off against recent NWL graduates, Alphamale XD & The career turned around after he upset former Patriot who now call the ASL home with a trip to the finals on the line. partner Major Trent Mercier in a Loser Leaves the NWL match, but peaked with his one and The summer heats up with more great events, but they are about to get bigger and here’s only NWL title win. His big mouth got him in why. The IWAR Competition Committee oversees the IWAR World Championships and the trouble often and his taunting of the “True IWAR-wide events that run throughout the year. We hit a snag in that the various events Wrestler” D.C. Hannon exploded into a bitter were offering the winners a shot at the IWAR World champion, but at the same time, the feud that climaxed in another Loser Leaves top Commissioner’s champions were competing in those title matches as well. Having one Town match. Hannon destroyed Teamster to multi-man match is novel, but having them all the time kills the special nature and also send him packing, but he was outraged when a stacks the deck against the champion and challenger who are looking to settle this between few weeks later a man calling himself the them. So we decided to create a secondary championship to the IWAR World championship “Midnight Teamster” appeared on the roster! that will be defended exclusively against the winners of the IWAR events. We let the fans Hannon tried to reveal the true identity of the vote on what to name the new title on the IWAR Network Facebook page and the winner is… man who claimed he was not the Teamster, The Revolution Championship! I won’t got into how awkward that name may be for some but in fact his twin brother. Eventually the of the folks around the IWA and IWAR office due to the history with Johnny Revolution but Teamster returned to briefly joined forces with instead announce that the winner of the 3rd Annual Ladder match will also be crowned as Hannon, but when he graduated from the NWL, the new Revolution Champion! The winners of IWAR events will now have a title to Teamster decided to pull a Top Gun and stay on compete for and I’ll have to know better than to let the internet make big decisions. as a backstage coach at the NWL to ‘give back’. When controversial IWAR Commissioner Johnny Oh hey and don’t forget all the other events like the 5th Annual Bound for Glory Series, the Revolution Sr. was dismissed by IWA President 8th Triple D Cup Six-man Tournament or the 10th Tag Team Derby because the greatest stars Johnny B., The Teamster who was promoted. don’t just win, they win big and nothing is bigger than winning in the IWAR. You don’t just win, you become part of IWA history.

It is a little rougher around the edges, but it gets the job done.

I Didn't Know It Was Broken: From Photo Shoots and Sensational Stories to the WWE Network, Bill Apter's Incredible Pro Wrestling Journey Bill Apter The anticipated memoir from a sports entertainment fandom legend As a kid growing up in New York in the late ’50s, Bill Apter fell in love with professional wrestling, and it wasn’t long before he was rubbing shoulders with the greats as a young reporter and photographer.

  • Donald Trump Shoots the Match1 Sharon Mazer
    Donald Trump Shoots the Match1 Sharon Mazer The day I realized it can be smart to be shallow was, for me, a deep experience. —Donald J. Trump (2004; in Remnick 2017:19) I don’t care if it’s real or not. Kill him! Kill him! 2 He’s currently President of the USA, but a scant 10 years ago, Donald Trump stepped into the squared circle, facing off against WWE owner and quintessential heel Mr. McMahon3 in the “Battle of the Billionaires” (WrestleMania XXIII). The stakes were high. The loser would have his head shaved by the winner. (Spoiler alert: Trump won.) Both Trump and McMahon kept their suits on—oversized, with exceptionally long ties—in a way that made their heads appear to hover, disproportionately small, over their bulky (Trump) and bulked up (McMahon) bodies. As avatars of capitalist, patriarchal power, they left the heavy lifting to the gleamingly exposed, hypermasculinist bodies of their pro-wrestler surrogates. McMahon performed an expert heel turn: a craven villain, egging the audience to taunt him as a clueless, elitist frontman as he did the job of casting Trump as an (unlikely) babyface, the crowd’s champion. For his part, Trump seemed more mark than smart. Where McMahon and the other wrestlers were working around him, like ham actors in an outsized play, Trump was shooting the match: that is, not so much acting naturally as neglecting to act at all. He soaked up the cheers, stalked the ring, took a fall, threw a sucker punch, and claimed victory as if he (and he alone) had fought the good fight (WWE 2013b).
