There was a guy who worked the northern UK circuit in the early 2000's who worked under the name "Tommy human being." He did not have much of a career to speak of.

I remember reading something in an old Observer I ran across online about a guy with an AIDS gimmick in some garbage indie back in the early 90s who always won because nobody would want to hit him.

Tell me one of you hooples went to that clusterfuck Georgia show last night where the promoter booked $18,000 in legends and showed up with $500.

Found some info on this! Former Georgia indy promoter Ben Masters was there and has this to say:

quote:

Ok it's soap box time. I have been in the pro wrestling business for 30 years and I have paid many "dues" along the way. I made a reputation in this business as a fair pay off man and a man of integrity. I have worked for a few crooked promoters but honestly not many. I have been blessed to work with amazing money guys who respected me and the best business.

Today I drove 90 miles to help a guy who I thought was straight forward and a man of his word. I trusted someone who honestly isn't "in" our business. So I'm here in Dudley Georgia with some of the biggest name sin our business who are not getting paid. The money guy says there IS NO MONEY. After stating he had sold $10,000 worth of tickets. This promoter has broken the trust of guys who have been in our business for years, many who paved the way for the younger guys today.

The Sheriff is now involved and hopefully there will be some sort of resolution. In the meanwhile, props to the guys who stayed and worked for the fans who paid to see a show. None if this was their fault. Most of the legends who left were seen at the Meet and Greet this afternoon so the fans were happy with that. Sadly as a whole no one was paid. So the show must go on and whatever money is left will be split along the guys who stayed and wrestled.

To GREG GREENE I feel sorry for you. You mistakenly thought that getting wrestlers' phone numbers and booking big names on a show made you a promoter. You forgot one important thing....pro wrestling is a BUSINESS!! Please do yourself and everyone else a favor and stay away from our great business. You give us all a bad name.

Apparently the promoter said he presold 500 tickets and there were 70 people in attendance. The only people who got paid were Arn Anderson and Del Wilkes, who threatened to kick the promoter's rear end if they didn't get paid. They got cash from the "money man" after that. Everyone else got paid in bad checks or not at all. The legends' hotel rooms were all even canceled because the promoter's credit card was declined!

Some of you may remember me being less than thrilled that the indy that runs my town was booking Teddy Hart as a headliner. Well, 2 things: One, they also booked Shigehiro Irie, who I like, and then this happened today

TLDR: The flakiest guy in wrestling lived up to his rep. No idea what the legal issue is.

He got a DUI+evading arrest in Arlington according to Twitter

Sure.

Jaynes, a green comedy act wanted to have a 50/50 match. While Ellering rightfully wanted 60/40 and 70/30 and even offered to lose to Jaynes in the end. It is reasonable that Ellering would need to look good after losing her title last show to Tessa Blanchard. They went to the ring still not fully agreeing.

When it hit the ring Jaynes panicked as she can't chain wrestle and thought Ellering was going to shoot on her. Then Jaynes started botching. So Rachael just put her over and just rolled out of the ring.

The situation has gotten messier the last few hours. Al and Lexi are very green when it comes to these matters. Currently are incorrectly siding with Jaynes on the situation.

What? That�s so dumb. I�m With Rachael.
