>Dennis Condrey has passed away at the age of 74. > >Condrey was a founding member of the original Midnight Express with Bobby Eaton and their manager Jim Cornette. He is considered by many to be a pioneer of tag team wrestling > >He debuted in 1973 and competed in various territories including AWA, NWA, Georgia Championship Wrestling, Mid South, Jim Crockett Promotions, and more. > >He retired in 2011. > >Dax Harwood shared a GoFundMe to cover funeral expenses. > >From Dax: Dennis Condrey is one half of the greatest tag team of all time, The Midnight Express. For years they brought excitement and entertainment to millions of people. However, as great as he was in the ring, it doesn’t hold a candle to the human being he was. A sweet, God-fearing man who LOVED his wife Theresa. With her permission, I’ve opened this Go Fund me to help with funeral expenses and bills that she now has to take on her own. She didn’t ask for this. I asked, in his honor, could I do this for him. She allowed me to do this for Dennis & her, but is expecting absolutely nothing but love in return. If Dennis Condrey and the Midnight Express ever brought any amount of joy to your life, and you’re able to help, please do. If not, it’s absolutely ok! Please send all your thoughts and prayers to Theresa Condrey in her time of need. God speed, “Loverboy” Dennis Condrey > >Fans can donate here [https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-dennis-condrey?attribution_id=sl%3Abbc01877-2862-45e6-8206-9cb271c8f38d&lang=en_US&ts=1774067536].

>DiBiase Jr. found not guilty. > >The Mississippi Clarion Ledger is reporting that a federal jury found former WWE wrestler Ted DiBiase Jr. not guilty of all criminal counts in his indictment for his involvement in the Mississippi welfare fraud scandal. > >Jurors deliberated on March 20th for four hours after hearing from at least two dozen witnesses. > >The 43-year-old DiBiase Jr. was facing one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and to commit theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, six counts of wire fraud, two counts of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, and four counts of money laundering. > >He was found not guilty on all 13 criminal counts and thus released from the conditions of his bond. DiBiase Jr. never pleaded guilty and did not testify in the federal case. > >Prosecutors said DiBiase Jr. misappropriated millions of dollars in federal funds intended for needy families and low-income individuals in the state of Mississippi. > >It was argued that DiBiase Jr. received money that was tied to welfare programs through ‘sham contracts’ for services that were never provided. The scheme allegedly involved the misuse of more than $77 milion in federal aid that was supposed to be for the state. The funds came from the Emergency Food Assistance Program and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. > >It was also alleged that DiBiase Jr. used the money to buy a truck, a boat, a trip to Disney, and a $1.5 million lakeside home in Madison, Mississippi, which has been seized by the government. > >The defense stated that DiBiase Jr. is a kind and professional businessman who is motivated by helping people. They argued that no one who testified during the trial could say DiBiase Jr. wasn’t performing in his role. > >DiBiase Jr. was one of several people charged with crimes in this case, but is the only one who contested his charges. DiBiase Jr.’s brother, Brett DiBiase, has already pleaded guilty to federal charges related to the case.
Tony Khan bid for WWE in 2023 sale process ultimately won by Endeavor to create TKO
Tony Khan bid for WWE in 2023 sale process ultimately won by Endeavor to create TKO - Lemmy.zip
The article talks a lot about the lawsuit between WWE shareholders and the WWE, allegedly when WWE was for sale they turned down better offers and merged with Endeavor. Base 10, the company backed by Tony Khan, offered less than Endeavor, so they wouldn’t have been in the running for a final buyer. The article points out these offers: >Base 10: $6.9 billion > >KKR: $8.0 billion to $8.7 billion > >Liberty Media: $8.5 billion to $8.9 billion > >Endeavor: $8.5 billion It’s probably for the best Tony didn’t win, but it still would have been funny.

Toni Storm out of action for ‘a long time’ - Lemmy.zip
>Former AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm will be out of action for “a long time” due to an undisclosed injury or injuries. > >That news comes from our Bryan Alvarez who added that is the reason Mina Shirakawa filled in for Storm and then defeated Marina Shafir on last night’s AEW Dynamite. > >Storm last wrestled at this past Sunday’s Revolution, defeating Shafir in a hard-hitting match that was followed by Ronda Rousey making a surprise appearance to confront Storm. Storm was then hit by Shafir as Storm and Rousey were being separated. > >Prior to Dynamite, AEW released a clip of Storm being found bloodied up in her locker room with Shirakawa and Luther attending to her. She was set to face Shafir in a no holds barred match on last night’s show but was deemed unable to compete and Shirakawa took the spot instead. > >The extent of the injuries and/or timeline for her return is unknown as is whether Shirakawa is being slotted into whatever creative was planned for Storm in the near future. Hopefully it’s nothing too bad and she can be back in the ring soon.

Ricochet Apologizes For Telling A Fan, 'I'm Glad You Got MS'
Ricochet Apologizes For Telling A Fan, 'I'm Glad You Got MS' - Lemmy.zip
>On Monday, Ricochet responded to a fan with a harsh tweet that stated, “I’m glad you got MS.” MS is multiple sclerosis, a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. > >Ricochet’s comment came in response to the fan saying, “His acting hasn’t improved,” in reference to a digital exclusive of Ricochet reacting to losing the NWA National Title at AEW Revolution. > >On Tuesday, Ricochet posted the following apology: > >“I took out my hatred for the IWC on Sandi, and inadvertently others who are effected by MS. She didnt deserve it and for that, I sincerely apologize. Moving forward I’ll do better.” > >Sandi locked her account after the tweet was sent. > >Ricochet did eventually delete the tweet, but it remained up for hours and Ricochet sent other tweets, one of which read, “Its soooo hilarious that the amount of little bitches who has tweeted and wished harm on me, who has wished even death, said some of the most VILE things to me AND my wife. People who try and make fun of me EVERYDAY. But those same little bitches can’t take it when I do it back to people. Fucking pussies, everywhere.” > >He also retweeted comments that called the outrage to his response “performative” and sent other tweets, including a Tom Hanks “Hi Guys” GIF before issuing the apology. I heard speculation that Ricochet could be in a lot of hot water considering WBD wouldn’t let AEW sign Jay Briscoe or Trey Miguel due to online comments they made well in the past.

Kane Reveals His Character Was Created Because A WWE Star Got Arrested (Vader in Kuwait)
Kane Reveals His Character Was Created Because A WWE Star Got Arrested (Vader in Kuwait) - Lemmy.zip
Here’s the main point of the article, but the whole thing is worth a read. Granted, it is a story being told by a wrestler, so who knows how close to the truth it is. >Speaking at a panel interview on the Going Ringside podcast at River City Wrestling Con, Kane explained that Vader had been in a rivalry with The Undertaker when the incident occurred during an overseas tour. A talk show host in Kuwait asked Vader the standard question about whether wrestling was fake, and Vader responded physically. > >“The talk show host said something to Vader, the old ‘is wrestling fake,‘” Kane said. “So Leon kind of roughed him up a little, not terrible, but kind of grabbed him. Which led to his arrest in Kuwait, not the place you want to be. Middle Eastern country, probably not the most progressive criminal justice system.” > >Kane said WWE did not know how long Vader would be held or what the resolution would be. Vader was detained for approximately a week, but at the time, the situation was uncertain enough that the company needed to act immediately. > >“Leon is literally out of the picture, and we don’t know for how long,” Kane said. “Like, we’re gonna have to send in the airborne troops to get him out, or what’s gonna happen there. And they needed an opponent for Undertaker.” > >A One-Match Idea Becomes a Career > >WWE came up with the concept of Kane as The Undertaker’s long-lost brother who had been burned in a fire. Kane said the company put him under a mask specifically because he had already appeared on television as two previous characters, Isaac Yankem, DDS and the fake Diesel, and they did not want the audience to recognize him. > >“They come up with this idea of Kane, who was the Undertaker’s long-lost brother,” Kane said. “Put me under a mask, because obviously I’d had those two characters that we should not talk about.” > >What changed the trajectory of Kane’s career was that Vince McMahon saw more potential in the concept than a single match. McMahon decided to invest in the character as a long-term storyline rather than a one-off program with The Undertaker. > >“What ended up happening is Vince liked the idea so much that he’s like, ‘Why are we wasting this on one match? This is much more of a storyline than that,’” Kane said. “And that’s kind of where the whole thing took, for me especially, a very good turn. They decided to really invest in the Kane character. In the end, it became a standalone character, even though the Undertaker obviously was a very important part of that. It wasn’t just as an opponent for Undertaker. It became more than that.”
