TNA Rumors: End of Days Coming Sooner TNA Rumors: End of Days coming sooner Author : Robert D. Cobb It is known that the WWE is the “major leagues” of professional wrestling. Below them, you have Ring of Honor, TNA, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and other much smaller companies that are not on the same level as WWE. Rumors are going around that one of the smaller promotions may be seeing its final days. If the rumors turn out to be true, then TNA may be bought by one of the other bigger wrestling promotions. Reportedly, the three bidders for the Nashville wrestling promotion are Sinclair Broadcasting, the parent company to ROH, WWE, and lead singer of Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan. It should be interested to note though that if Billy Corgan does successfully win the bid on TNA, he will still be facing some financial problems. It is also not known for certain if Ring of Honor is back in the mix. It is safe to assume that right now the two serious bidders are Billy Corgan and Vince McMahon. Rumors started coming very fast after Billy Corgan was on Busted Open. It was also reported that the tapings that were supposed to happen after Bound for Glory were canceled, and so were the plane flights. If this does happen that WWE buys TNA, which I feel will happen. It should be noted that Billy is bidding with no investors on his side and is using his money. If WWE does buy TNA, I could see them making it a show on the WWE Network on Thursdays. Also what people should realize is that if this does happen, it would still take a few months until WWE has the videos. From a WWE perspective, this makes a ton of sense. A lot of former TNA stars like AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, Samoa Joe, and others are doing great in WWE. If WWE can do this, then they could do Best of DVDs on wrestlers like AJ Styles. There have been current TNA stars who have come out anomalously and are saying they are nervous about the future of their company. Also, it's been reported that Dixie Carter has been talking with WWE over the last few days. It will be a few exciting days before Bound for Glory as their future is uncertain. Unlike other times when TNA was being auctioned, and nothing happened, I have a good feeling that TNA will have a new owner that will be announced within a month. It might be WWE, Billy Corgan, or some unknown. It should also be noted that if no new owner is determined before Sunday, then Bound for Glory may not happen. 1 / 1 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Samoan Submission Machines
    Samoan Submission Machines: Grappling with Representations of Samoan Identity in Professional Wrestling Theo Plothe1 Savannah State University [email protected] Amongst the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. The discussion of Samoan identity in the context of sport has examined Maori identity and masculinity in New Zealand, among other topics, but there has yet to be work which considers Samoans within professional wrestling. This research investigates Samoan identity through a content analysis of televised wrestling matches. This research identifies six primary stereotypes under which Samoan identity is portrayed. These portrayals of Samoan characters, I argue, flatten the representation of this ethnic group within wrestling and culture at large. Keywords: Samoans, identity, representation, gimmicks Introduction Among the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. This research investigates the identity of Samoans within professional wrestling, and the different ways they are constructed and presented to audiences. “Gimmicks,” characters portrayed by a wrestler “resulting in the sum of fictional elements, attire and wrestling ability” (Oliva and Calleja 3) utilized by Samoans have run the gamut from the wild uncivilized savage, to the sumo (both in villainous Japanese and comically absurd iterations), to the ultra-cool mogul who wears silk shirts and fancy shoes. Their ability to cut promos, an important facet of the modern gimmick allowing wrestlers to address their opponents and storylines, varies widely as well, but all lie within their Samoan identity.

  • Movies and Cultural Contradictions
    < I 1976 Movies and Cultural Contradictions FRANK P. TOMASULO In its bicentennial year, the United States was wracked by dis- illusionment and mistrust of the government. The Watergate scandal and the evacuation of Vietnam were still fresh in everyone's mind. Forced to deal with these traumatic events, combined with a lethargic economy (8.5 per- cent unemployment, energy shortages and OPEC price hikes of 5 to 10 per- cent, high inflation (8.7 percent and rising), and the decline of the U.S. dollar on international currency exchanges, the American national psyche suffered from a climate of despair and, in the phrase made famous by new California governor Jerry Brown the previous year, “lowered expectations.” President Gerald R. Ford's WIN (Whip Inflation Now) buttons--did nothing bolster consumer/investor confidence and were widely perceived to be a public rela- tions gimmick to paper over structural difficulties in the financial system. Intractable problems were apparent: stagflation, political paranoia, collective anxiety, widespread alienation, economic privation, inner-city decay, racism, and violence. The federal government's “misery index,” a combination of the unemployment rate and the rate of inflation, peaked at 17 percent. In short, there was a widespread perception that the foundations of the American Dream bad been shattered by years of decline and frustration. Despite these negative economic and social indicators in the material world, the nation went ahead with a major feel-good diversion, the bicen- tennial celebration that featured the greatest maritime spectacle in Ameri- can history: “Operation Sail,” a parade of sixteen “Tall Ships,” fifty-three warships, and more than two hundred smaller sailing vessels in New York harbor.

Gatten This bibliography updates two extensive works designed to include comprehensively all significant works by and about Woody Guthrie. Richard A. Reuss published A Woody Guthrie Bibliography, 1912–1967 in 1968 and Jeffrey N. Gatten’s article “Woody Guthrie: A Bibliographic Update, 1968–1986” appeared in 1988. With this current article, researchers need only utilize these three bibliographies to identify all English- language items of relevance related to, or written by, Guthrie. Introduction Woodrow Wilson Guthrie (1912–67) was a singer, musician, composer, author, artist, radio personality, columnist, activist, and philosopher. By now, most anyone with interest knows the shorthand version of his biography: refugee from the Oklahoma dust bowl, California radio show performer, New York City socialist, musical documentarian of the Northwest, merchant marine, and finally decline and death from Huntington’s chorea.

It is a day when we tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love. We remember how you came, Lord, and we anxiously await your return. You promised to return, and like Israel in the days of old, we expectantly await the fulfillment of your promise. It is hard down here, Lord, and we know that you know all about it. They treated you mean; treat us mean too! Your body [would be] broken, but you came anyway. They made you be born in a manger, but you came anyway. Our eyes was blind, but you came anyway. We didn’t know who you were. And so, sweet, little Jesus boy, we gather today, looking for you to show up in our celebration [and in our study], as we wait for you to come again, All grown up, with all power in your hands.

    HEAVEN BOUND, EARTHLY GOOD: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF RACE RELATIONS IN THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFiLLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS BY JONATHAN GRANT DEPARTMENT OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES STUDIES ATLANTA, GEORGIA MAY 2010 ABSTRACT AFRICAN-AJ~4zEpJcM~ STUDIES GRANT, JONATHAN BA. OAKWOOD UNIVERITY, 2007 HEAVEN BOUND, EARTHLY GOOD: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF RACE RELATIONS IN THE SEVENTH-DAy ADVENTIST CHURCH Advisor: Dr. Josephine Bradley Thesis dated May 2010 The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a denomination that has contributed much to the development of American society. Although the Church is a religious and social institution, its views on race in America have changed over the years, from its abolitionist approach during the mid 19th century to its stance of non-involvement during the Civil Rights Movement. By studying the race relations in the Adventist Church, this thesis reveals the factors that may have caused its position of non-intervention during the Civil Rights Movement. The thesis analyzes the development of black/white race relations in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and how it has led to the Church’s stance regarding race during the Civil Rights Movement. The functionalist theory is utilized to elucidate the Church’s racial approach from a sociological perspective. This thesis allows for future research of other religious organizations and how those institutions have helped advance or delay the quest for social freedom amongst African Americans. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author of this document acknowledges, first and foremost, his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for allowing this manuscript to become a success.
