Jim Ross on If He Ever Asked Female Talent in WWE To Get Breast Implants

On the latest edition of Grilling JR, Jim Ross discussed whether he ever suggested to female talent that they get breast implants while working for WWE, as well as Ludvig Borga having a Nazi tattoo. Highlights are below.
On if he ever suggested to female talent that they get breast implants: “Nope, sure didn’t. Didn’t step in that territory, because you’re defenseless if something goes awry. It’s gotta be a personal decision made by the talent if they believe it will enhance their TV persona and their overall look, as to what is acceptable by general society, then that’s gonna be their call. Now if they need time off to get it done, obviously, if they need money to help, advance some money to get surgery done, I think we’ve done those things, but that was always based on the talent’s decision. People gonna roll their eyes at this one but it just wasn’t my place to tell you to get a boob job and then something go wrong and you did it because you felt like you were compelled to because your boss said to, and now you get issues, the WWE’s got a problem. So, that’s kind of where we were with that, we just never did that. And some, I’m sure there’s gonna be somebody who’s gonna say, ‘Well, I knew if I didn’t do it…’ Yeah, OK.”
On Ludvig Borga having a Nazi tattoo on his calf: “I guess somebody saw him in the shower. I didn’t have guys do body cavity searches or nothing man. Nobody dropped their drawers in my offers. I ain’t Harvey Weinstein here. We found out about it and of course the deal was, I even think, if I’m not mistaken, he was wearing boots that were low cut and he had a very diminutive SS tattoo. It wasn’t huge. It wasn’t overbearingly large. But it was there. So I think the discussion was, the discussion should have been, we can’t use you, because if we do, we’re basically condoning the Holocaust, that’s how I looked at it. And I didn’t think that was anything we wanted to be compared to. So he got different boots and covered it up. There might have been a handful of times, before he got new boots, that that was even seen there. But it was very uncomfortable and he was uncomfortable and he was untalented, but he had a million dollar look.”Click Here: Pumas UNAM soccer tracksuit

AJ Styles suffers shoulder injury at the Royal Rumble

AJ Styles suffered what seems to be a separated shoulder during the Royal Rumble match after he landed badly when he took a spear from Edge.
Styles sold the move by flipping in the air but landed badly on his left shoulder. The former champion immediately clutched the shoulder and alerted the referees at ringside. A ringside medic went over to check on him as Styles remained in the corner.
At one point, King Corbin went to work on Styles and you could see Styles telling him about the injury and Corbin took care of him by punching him and letting him sit in the corner. Styles then walked towards Edge and told him about the injury and to eliminate him from the match, calling an audible as he was supposed to last longer than that. Edge then simply threw him over the top rope with Styles lasting 7 minutes and 49 seconds in total.
Recovery for a separated shoulder could run up to twelve weeks depending on the severity of the injury.Click Here: fermanagh gaa jerseys

Date: 02/05/20
Your Host: James Walsh
Here we go with episode 700 of the Wrestling Epicenter To celebrate this milestone, we welcome not 1 but 2 guests this week.
First, from the original Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, we welcome Hollywood! Hollywood was the first signed and the mainstay of the 4 season run of the game changing all female wrestling show in the 80’s. She’s also gone on to a stunt career and has a lot of different ventures including a soap company, comic book, and more. Quite the conversation with “Hollywood” Jeanne Basone!
Then, a man who was in the headlines just last week for being announced as returning for Impact Wrestling’s WrestleMania weekend event featuring a reunion of the original stars of TNA, we welcome back “Wildcat” Chris Harris for the first time in nearly 17 years! We catch up with Chris Harris in semi-retirement as we discuss his time in the ring, what went right, how he lived his dream, and, sadly, what could have gone better if timing or politics weren’t a factor. Lots of gems here!

“HOLLYWOOD” JEANNE BASONE:
On getting involved in pro wrestling and the birth of GLOW:
“I never aspired to be a pro wrestler because I never knew much about wrestling. But, I always knew that the entertainment part of it was like an acting gig but with physical attributes added to it. I got called in to an audition – I had a regular job too, James.when I was told it was a wrestling show I about fell on the floor! I didn’t know anything about this sport! I knew a lot about other sports but not this one. They needed 12 girls to do the pilot and I was one of the 12. I trained with Mondo Guerrero. I didn’t know anything about the famous Guerreros at all. To me, he was just another trainer. Mondo asked, “Which one of you ladies can ram your head into the turnbuckle, turn over, and land on your back.” I was the first one that rose my hand, I did it – Who knows if I did that properly. But, the founder of GLOW, David McLane told me “That is how, Jeanne, you secured your job. You were the first, in my mind, hired. Then Americana, and then Lisa Moretti who went on to become Ivory and was inducted into The WWE Hall of fame. Then we filmed the GLOW pilot! It was 4 years of really, really good fun. I think about it today and I pinch myself thinking, “Did I really do that show? (laughs)”
On the rap song the girls did:
“The rap songs! That is what set us apart from the WWE, WWF at the time. All of the sketches… And, it was all women who came in different shapes, sizes an color! We, were the first ones doing that on TV. We can never forget, of course, all the legends before us who paved the way- Mildred Burke , Johnnie Mae Young, Penny Banner, Joyce Grable and Wendi Richter. I always give them a high five. But, we were the first to do that (an all women’s show on TV) and we had 4 fabulous seasons. That is pretty exciting!”
On the Story of GLOW Documentary from 2013:
“I loved it. You can still see it on Netflix. But, I do think there was so much more to talk about , maybe a part 2? LOL But, all the girls were gathered together who hadn’t seen each other in a very, very long time. Those two guys, Brett and Brad did a very good job. Originally, they were going to do an interview with Ursula Hayden who owns the GLOW trademark and then they met all of us because she had a birthday party.” She continues, “That was special. Producer Jenji Kohan from Orange is the New Black saw that documentary and it must of set off a light bulb in her head to do a show about GLOW which is really loosely based on our show.”
On how she feels about the Netflix GLOW show:
“I love it! I think that anything that sheds light on us is good for our brand. I never thought, in a million years, that someone would do a show about something that we had done back in the 80’s.”
On how accurate the Netflix GLOW is to how it really was filming the original series:
“You know, James. Sometimes people don’t get it because I get calls or emails and people ask, “Did that really happen?’ It’s TV! You have to get those viewers coming back. They show a lot of drug use and that is one area where it is very loosely based. If we were caught doing anything like that, we were fired immediately. They had us on a tight leash
On GLOW’s abrupt ending:
“It did go away very quickly. I did the pilot and seasons 1 and 2 and then almost everyone left except myself and Mountain Figi and we had new girls for seasons 3 and 4. I wasn’t as close with them (the season 3 and 4 girls). One of the reasons was I didn’t have to live in Las Vegas during that time. So, I would come in for rehearsals and sketches and then go back to LA. The first and second season, we were all living at the Riviera Hotel. In the 3rd and 4th seasons, the girls were all living in apartments. In the first 2 seasons, I was rooming with my tag team partner Vine. But, when GLOW ended, it was just a phone call. That phone call was just, “We’re not doing this anymore. There is no more funding. Hi and Goodbye.” I was like, “Well, crap! Now what am I going to do?” This is what I had done for 4 years! When you’re in your 20’s, you’re not always as thinking about your future… A lot of the girls went on to get married, have kids. But as for me? Myself and Lightning, we went to the independent wrestling circuit.
On the differences between filming GLOW and working the indie scene:
“Being on TV and then doing that, it was different! And, Lightning, who you should interview, will tell you, she got a lot of crap from the girls in the LPWA. “You can’t wrestle.”
On having freedom outside of GLOW:
in GLOW it felt like you were living with your parents, lots of rules! But after our show I stayed in it (wrestling), James. I was like, “This is what I love. This is what I’m good at.’ So I formed my own wrestling Co. with some new girls and we did our own matches.”
On David McLane’s feeling GLOW was hijacked from him:
“His vision for it was doing an all women’s wrestling show like what he has been doing with ( WOW ) so thankfully it parlayed into that for him. We filmed at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas and our director Matt Cimber was good friends with the owner. That was where the money was from. “Matt, we’re going to put you in touch with David because he’s got this women’s wrestling show. Matt was a director in film.That is how those two came together. I don’t think David wanted it that way. He went with it for a while and then after the 2nd season, he was done. He told me that things were going south especially with distributors doing things behind his back. “Wait a minute, we didn’t sell the show to Japan!” Oh yes they did! And, they didn’t tell him. He was like, “I’m done.” You can’t blame him.”
On why David McLane wasn’t on the GLOW documentary:
“I don’t think he thought it was real. Seriously, are these people for real? Is this worth my time?”
On the GLOW girls facing WCW on Family Feud:
“YES! That was fun! I thought we’d be in and do one game show. No, you’re there the entire day. We did 5 that day. Then we got called again for the next season! It was fun. Sting was there… Jim Ross… Forgive me, I can’t remember everyone. Brian Pillman. Yes. And the cool thing is it was all for charity.”
On how the WCW guys felt about the GLOW girls:
“They loved us! Oh God, they were just in awe. A little flirting going back and forth. Oh, it was just a healthy thing! (laughs)”
On guesting on Married… With Children:
“Oh my Gosh, James! Imagine being 20 years old and being on national TV. There was no social media, there was no Internet. It was just TV and radio,the power of TV is incredible. When we went for the audition, I was thinking we were going to audition with 50 girls. When we got there – It just me and the Farmer’s Daughter – When we walked into audition for the executive producers, it wasn’t just those two it was all the writers, the director, and I was getting more and more nervous! But, we did our lines and then we switched them around and they looked at us and said, “Ok guys, we’ll see you Monday morning.” Ursula (Farmer’s Daughter) and I just looked at each other and *gasping sound*! It was amazing! We had a whole week on the show. And, we did a lot of other shows too. But, Married… With Children! *signs* hey I heard it just re-ran just last week somewhere. It was a different time and day. I was so grateful the opportunity
On some of GLOW’s more controversial angles:
“We did the Gestapo Match! We had the Nazi patches. Woah! That night, I went back to my room which was across from the pool at the Riviera and, I kid you not, someone had taken a sharpee and drawn Swastikas into the diving board. Oh my God! I was like, no way! The fans got really into what we were doing and it got kind of scary at times. (laughs)”
On forming Hollywould Productions:
“After GLOW had ended, I was working for all these independent promotions and I kept working, working, working and I was working a shit ton. I started thinking, “I know wrestlers. Why don’t I start my own production?” This was before I broke my leg back in, 1998. Someone came up to me and said, “Do you have a website?” I said, “What is a website?” (laughs) I didn’t know! It was 1996! But, I got a computer, I bought a URL, I got a webmaster and it all came together. There were a lot fewer people doing things like that back then. Now, the market is so over-saturated. Everyone’s a producer!”
On if she regrets any of her more risque film appearances in the 90’s:
“No, not at all. After I broke my leg, I could not wrestle. so I did a few movies, vids here and there. But there’s nothing I ever regret doing because I’m an adult and I have to put food on the table and pay bills.”
On the GLOW Talent Being Honored at the Cauliflower Alley Club:
“Before all the GLOW girls got back together, myself and Lightning were going to the Cauliflower Alley Club when they were doing it in California. Soon after the documentary came out, all the GLOW girls started going. I think we got a better reception once the GLOW on Netflix series started. Then, we got honored with the Ring of Friendship lifetime membership and then we were all honored as a group! And, some people were happy we were honored and there were some who said, “Why are they being honored?” There’s always pros and cons to everything. Overall, it was a lot of positivity. We’re going again this year. It will be myself, Lightning, and probably the Royal Hawaiian and maybe some of the season 3 and 4 girls as well.”
On her current business:
“I have a company called Hollywood Botanika, Hollywood spelled the right way, sorry folks! (laughs) And, I make home-made soaps. I started doing this because I like anything that doesn’t have all the preservatives in it. It started about 13 months ago when I was buying soaps and I was looking at the ingredients and I said, “Wow, there’s only a few ingredients here,” So, I did my due diligence and said “ I can do this” and I love making soaps! I’m looking right now at my rack of soaps and they are awesome! I have a website. It is JeanneBasone.com and there you can get all the GLOW merch and my home-made soaps!”Click Here: Borussia Dortmund soccer tracksuit

Moxley Having Fun in AEW, Talks Revolution PPV Title Shot Against Jericho

Jon Moxley spoke with Sporting News for a new interview promoting his match with Chris Jericho at AEW Revolution tomorrow. You can check out the highlights below:
On when the last time he had as much fun as he’s having in AEW was: “Not for the last few years. I’m not trying to talk s**t about anybody or anything like that. But you get into like just making towns and saving money. You work years and years and years to go what you think is the top and then you get to the top and you’re like ‘This is what over the top is?’ Then you’re like, ‘OK, I guess this is it.’ I wasn’t really happy being scripted or being told what to do or who I am. They always used to say in WWE, ‘Oh, you’re your own brand’ in meetings and stuff. They say it all the time. I’m like, ‘That’s horses**t. I’m not my own brand at all.’ What if my brand has middle fingers, blood and whiskey? No, that’s not WWE’s brand. I’m whatever fits into your corporate mold, which isn’t a bad thing. I mean, they’re a publicly-traded company. I just really wasn’t happy under all those circumstances. I had a really good run there and did really well. I wouldn’t trade all the things I got from there, most importantly, my wife. I was able to make a s**t ton of money there and get a little bit of a nest egg for myself.
“Now I can focus on the reason I started doing this in the first place, which is I like it. I love it. I enjoy it. I want to be a part of it. I want to be on the show. I want to be on the card. Throw me in their third match. I just enjoy the whole process of like, ‘Oh, I got a match today. Let’s think about what I’m going to do and go roll over the building and get warmed up, get ready to go out there, walk through the crowd, get in the ring, come back bleeding, sweating, whatever. That’s the part of this that keeps me coming back. That’s what I need in my life. It’s fun to just focus on the fun part of wrestling. Nowadays, like, I can try by the idea. I feel like for the last few years, if you have an idea, no matter how good it is, right, you pitch it to a million different people and it probably won’t happen no matter how hard you push it. Even if it does, by the time it is rammed through the system and 10 different fingerprints on it and it is not even really your idea anymore. Then it doesn’t even look anything remotely like your idea, and now you’re like,’ How did we even get here?’ I’m totally confused. Now, when I have an idea and sucks, you’re like, ‘Oh, this suck. Who cares? Let’s try again. Roll with the punches.’ I’m very relaxed and in control of what I’m doing.”
On his match with Minoru Suzuki in NJPW: “I was over the moon, excited for it. lt all just kind of worked out perfectly. A storyline got screwed up a little bit because of weather problems. I think it all worked out good at that moment at the Tokyo Dome, where he came out, and the crowd was all singing his songs. 50,000 people or how ever many were at the Tokyo Dome. You talk WrestleMania moments, that was a Wrestle Kingdom moment. To be a part of that was so cool, and I’ve watched him for so many years. I’ve been such a fan of his. I used to study some of these matches like when I was like in CZW. We’re different but so similar. I never thought I’d get a chance to wrestle him. If I could pick one dream opponent that could be possible it was him. I think everybody wanted to see the match. It’s one of those matchups, and just like we got to put that together and see what happens. So I helped facilitate it. Rather than I put somebody’s name on my mouth and start calling him out, I was like onboard for that. So I willed it into existence. I think it was supposed to happen on that night in Osaka, Japan. It was just wild man. I felt like we were fist fighting for a week where we had two tag team matches, where we took over the match. Then a week later, we just picked it up again. It’s like surfing in a lightning storm in shark-infested waters is what wrestling Minoru Suzuki for 15-20 minutes is like.”
On his match with Chris Jericho at Revolution: “It’s pretty big. Our pay-per-views are no joke. Those cards are stacked. If you’re going to be headlining an AEW show like that’s a hell of a card to be the last match on, especially this one. Our names are the marquee names. It’s going to have a big fight feel. It’s very cool. I think me and him are both similar in the sense that we’re both in the eight to 10 top guys in AEW. If we wanted to be in WWE right now, we could be. But we’re actively choosing to do something else.”
On facing Jericho: “Chris was the first-ever undisputed champion. This is a guy I used to watch on TV on Nitro and Raw. (It) would’ve been really easy for him to just be a rock star and count his money and just be Chris Jericho and Y2J. He loves to do this. He wants new challenges and loves pushing himself. He really has a drive. I think his drive is to be the greatest of all time. I remember him telling me that when we were talking about ideas we had for an angle that we didn’t even end up doing because plans changed. He was gone for a while, and he’s like yeah, ‘I’m gonna call myself the greatest of all time’ because The Rock and Stone Cold (Steve Austin) and they hadn’t been here how ever long. I’ve been here for longer been doing it at a higher level for longer (then) all these guys.’ I started thinking back then, and this is like 2015, and I’m like, ‘Yeah, you’re right.’ Like this is one of the greatest of all time. He’s done so much else since then that it’s insane. I think his drive is to be in that top echelon of the greatest of all time. He’s definitely put himself in the conversation. It is rare that you get two guys with so much momentum. Chris Jericho is hotter than he’s arguably ever been in his career, and that’s really saying something. I got a whole hell of a lot of momentum behind me. I haven’t got beat in AEW yet. We both have so much momentum right now that I don’t think people can picture either one of us losing, but it’s one of those things where somebody’s 0 has got to go.”Click Here: Geelong Cats Jersey
