Episode #35 - Raja Jackson Incident, Tully Bertorelli, & WFA Reborn

We’re back and we’ve got a lot to talk about. Mainly because of the situation that occurred over the weekend at the Knokx Pro Wrestling Academy during a livestream. Raja Jackson, son of Rampage Jackson, was supposed to do a run-in on a match involving Syko Stu. However, a backstage incident earlier in the day seemed to have fueled Raja to take revenge. Raja jumped in the ring and attacked Stu with two dozen shoot punches after knocking Stu out cold with a takedown and leaving Stu with no way to defend himself. In our opinion, nearly everyone involved in this situation is at fault. However, we are reserving our real judgment for later. Next week, we will have a special roundtable discussion about this incident and all of the issues it spotlights in the world of wrestling. We’ll bring in some people who are actually in the wrestling business to give their insight and opinions. You won’t want to miss that next week.

 

Also in our News & Notes segment, Bob and Jon wish Danny Cage of the Monster Factory well after his announcement that he will suspending operations at the Monster Factory after their show in November to deal with a much more important personal mental health situation. We at Indy Wrestling Experience hope the best for Danny Cage and, if it’s good for everyone, we hope to see Danny and the Monster Factory return in the future. Additionally, Bob and Jon discuss a possible second season of OVW’s Wrestlers and we mention a couple of title changes over the weekend involving promotions and people we follow closely including Gangrel (CCW Champion), Titan Troy (FTC AOG Champion) and Danny Miles (Focus Pro Champion).

 

In our Rankings Spotlight we cover Divine Women’s Pro Wrestling, centered in Michigan, which is an all-women’s promotion that features a ton of up-and-coming talent. Jon and Bob discuss which of the top 10 contenders to the Divine Championship have star written all over them.
