Heated words at Arkansas State Athletic Commission Meeting

Check out Fox 16's report on what happened.

"A Night Of Heartbreaks" @ The Raleigh Springs Mall Feb. 14th

Breaking News: ASAC Secretary Fired; Turmoil and Scandles in the Athletic Commission

***UPDATE***

I've been informed that the issues facing wrestling have been tabled to the new meeting after a heated arguement between members of the meeting. The meeting has been adjourned with wrestling never brought forth on the agenda.



Accourding to Chris Stryker who is reporting LIVE from the Commission Meeting in Little Rock, is stating that Secretary John Mattingly has been fired for telling Chairman Stuart he is wrong about his job performance. More details to come!

Keep in mind that if things go too sour wrestling in the State of Arkansas could cease to exist. A scandal has been reported to me that the Chairman of the Commission could be facing due to dealings with a boxing incident.

Scandals are being reported revolving around boxing and MMA and a few Commissioners. The Commission is still in Executive Session and is not letting any members of the media or public in the meeting at this point. it's being reported that Mattingly was given the choice to resign or be fired. He at first resigned but after talking to some of the public and media decided to make them fire him, to which they did for standing up for those who were complying with the fees and rules. We also have reason to believe that certain members of the commission were trying to monopolize combat sports and wrestling here in the state of Arkansas. From what is being reported to us Tough Man is endorsed by one of the Commissioners and is exempt from the fees and licenses of the state We will try to keep you posted on this explosive situation and bring you the latest details.

Matt Hardy interview highlights

Matt Hardy recently co hosted Busted Open with Mike Riker and Reby Sky on Sirius XM Radio, which can be heard every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 2-4 ET on Sirius 94, XM 208, here are the highlights…

Matt Hardy on his future in wrestling: "I think there is a future for me in wrestling in some capacity. I have such a new outlook on life after going through such a crazy period, I've kind of had a reprieve for a while. At some point I had to face everything and change my life, and I have, and I feel good about where I?m at right now. Wrestling is in me, its in my blood and I think I'll always be in wrestling in some shape or form. Basically I chalk it up to this, I kind of let God lead me where I'm going to go. After I have back surgery we'll see where I stand physically and from that point on I'll kind of see where the wave takes me."

Matt Hardy on if he has used social media in the right way: "There are times when I have, and there are times I've used it in the wrong way as well. I feel like I was one of the original guys to take social networking and promoted themselves. Under WWE and I know from being around there a long time, stemming from Vince McMahon and going all the way down, they've always wanted control of everything they have, and it's hard to do that with Twitter or YouTube cause it's something that you have to go hand in hand with and work with the company. But now they realize its huge deals now and there is money to be made and there is promotion that comes from it, so it's great that they have embraced it now. But as far as I go there has been a lot of people who tie me in as "The Internet Guy" or "the social media guy" and that's cool because I do dig that stuff."

Matt Hardy on if he should take a break from social media: "I did for a while but now that I'm here and I'm me, I like getting messages out. There is a lot of people just from Twitter that say, 'because of this, you've been through this and overcame it and you're doing better and you're really inspiring me.'? There is people out there that I know I can help and touch. That's one of my main reasons for ever wanting to get into wrestling because I can inspire and help other people. Just being able to do that is important to me. I dig communicating with people and I try to respond to as many fans as I can when I can. It's just a part of my lifestyle and it's something I enjoy and I'm really into doing things I enjoy and that is healthy for me."

Matt Hardy on The Undertaker's streak: To me I don't think the streak should ever end. I don't think anyone is going to become a bigger star because they beat the Undertaker. I mean they would become a bigger star but I don't think its worth sacrificing the streak. I think the streak is as big of an attraction at Wrestlemania as the world title match is. To me when you think of someone as 20-0, that's almost more important than the world title. It almost overshadows everything else. People buy Wrestlemania to see if the streak is going to end. People also buy Wrestlemania to see the Undertaker continue the streak. So to me I don't think it should end, especially because he is getting towards the end of his career. I have never had more respect for someone in the wrestling business than him. If they were going to try to do it, it would have to be someone that is already over almost on the main event level, almost a new guy that has five, seven, or ten years left in him and I don't see anyone like that right now."

Matt Hardy on the rigors of a full time schedule: "The schedule is very brutal and very tough and you're obviously beating up and destroying your body. As far as what other people do, it's not my business to put anyone else's business out there. But it is a tough gig. The one thing I would say is what I would love to see change in the wrestling business is to just have an off season, because I think guys need time off to heal. I think that would really help slow down the injury process, because once your hurt if you're on a WWE schedule the only time you get off is if you have surgery. Not only do they want you to work, but the mentality is if you can work, you do work. I think that's stuck in the old ages. I think they have to get a point where guys are given time off or are forced to take time off. I know that it's hard because there is not a lot of star power out there right now and they need everyone they can. It's just hard on your body and it's a physically demanding business. When you get into it you know that so it's a tough gig."

FTW 1 Year Anniversary Show results from Saturday night in Newbern, TN

Wrestling News Center was in attendance Saturday night at FTW's One Year Anniversary show in Newbern, TN, and WHAT A SHOW IT WAS! Paid attendance was 268, and they were treated to a great show.

Wrestling News Center was represented by myself, D-Rock, and WNC photographer, Tia. Before the show and during intermission, D-Rock and I, along with FTW General Manager Bill Rush, presented WNC 2011 year end awards to all the recipients from FTW. Award winners were:

Best Wrestling Event: FTW Lexi Benefit show, Newbern, TN.

Promotion of the Year: FTW

Announcer of the Year: Big Dave, FTW

Referee of the Year: Ron Bryson, FTW

Hardcore match of the Year: FTW King of Hardcore - Psycho, Pappy, TJ O'Riley, & Tommy Redneck (Motely Cruz also participated in the match and will receive his award at a later date).

Motor Mouth of 2011: Mad Money Mike, FTW
(NOTE: During the presentation of this award, Jason the Brain came to the ring and interrupted. Jason's arm was in a sling, and he said that he could not participate in his match later in the evening with Mad Money Mike because he was injured. He said he had found a suitable replacement, and brought out Hollywood Jimmy Blaylock, who immediately got into a heated exchange with MMM. More on this later).

Female Wrestler of 2011: Lil Bit.

Most Improved Tag Team: The Swag Boyz.

Manager of the Year: Jason the Brain.

Most Underrated Wrestler: Anton Leveigh.

Favorite Up & Coming Wrestler: TJ O'Riley.

Best Gimmick: OZ.

Tag Team of 2011: The Asylum (Psycho & Pappy).

Hardcore Wrestler of the Year: Psycho

Wrestling News Center once again congratulates all of these award recipients.

OK, on to the show!

It was my pleasure to announce with the 2011 WNC Announcer of the Year, Big Dave, who, by the way, is a great announcer! There was also another announcer at the table known only as "Lyin' Leo". It did not take me long to understand why he is called that - he calls the action from a point of view that is way out in left field - in fact, I am not sure he told the truth about the action once during the entire show. But enough about Leo....

Opening Match was a four corner strap match, OZ vs. Joe Borne. Great opening match, your winner was Joe Borne.

Next match saw IIHC Heavyweight Champion, Houston, defending against Juduz. Winner by DQ was Houston, who retains the belt.

Next match was Mark Justice w/Mad Money Mike vs. Steele w/Jason the Brain. FTW Hardcore Champion Tommy Redneck came to the ring and demanded to be added to the match. FTW Commissioner Bill Rush came to the ring and added him to the match, and said it would NOT be a hardcore match, but that the Hardcore Championship would be on the line. This was an excellent match. Winner and NEW FTW Hardcore Champion is Mark Justice.

Next match was for the FTW Heavyweight Championship. New N.R.G. Boss Jeremy Moore, accompanied by the entire N.R.G, vs. Sarge O'Riley. The odds were not by any means in Sarge's favor, as the N.R.G used every dirty trick they could think of to help Moore. Sarge was a bloody mess in the end, but he managed to win the match and the belt. Very good match.

In a match set up earlier in the evening, Mad Money Mike w/Mark Justice defeated Hollywood Jimmy Blaylock w/Jason the Brain & Jessica Andrews.

The Asylum (Psycho & Pappy) defeated Ricky Andrews & TJ O'Riley w/Jason the Brain & Jessica Andrews. Another excellent match!

In the semi-main event, Lil Bit defeated Rebecca Raze to win the FTW Ladies Championship. This was an excellent ladies match! Great action!

Main event: Weezy vs. John "Biscuit" Robinson vs. Anton Leveigh for the FTW Extreme Championship. Now, I have seen a lot of hardcore matches in my day, but none better than this one. These guys held nothing back in this match. In fact, I am amazed that they were not seriously injured. Major high flying hardcore action! Match was won by John "Biscuit" Robinson. Again, this was an outstanding match. In fact, I intend to nominate these guys for best hardcore match of 2012 when the time comes.

So, there you have it! FTW is an extremely good organization. We had been hearing for months just how good FTW shows are - and this show did more than live up to what we had heard. Congratulations to FTW and everyone connected with the group on your one year anniversary, and congratulations to the award winners again. Frankly, I can't wait to go back to Newbern to see some more FTW action!

This Saturday night the FTW card will include:
Juduz vs. Jason Reed - #1 contenders match.
Derrick King & a mystery partner vs. Big Red & Cordell.
Sarge O'Riley vs. Jeremy Moore for the FTW belt.
John "Biscuit" Robinson vs. Anton Leveigh in a re-match.
Plus more!

If you are anywhere within driving distance of Newbern, TN, don't miss this FTW event. It will be a great show!
