Wrestling Asylum - June 2010

Source: WrestleZone.com

WrestleZone received the following email earlier today:
"My name is Brandon tolle, and I am a Independent Referee out of Cincinnati, and work for companies like HWA, and Ring Of Honor (Jr. Official). I received some rather disheartening news just a few moment from Roxxie Cotton, a female Independent wrestler out of New Jersey.

Trent Acid was found dead in his home this morning around 9AM. His mother walked into his room to find him passed away. I do not have any other news than that. His partner Johnny Cashmere from CZW posted a small myspace blog today with the same new, and he doesnt have any further information as well. I wanted to pass this along and get the word out."


WrestlingAsylum.com wishes to offer it's condolences to the family of Trent Acid.

- Former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler was at last night's Lakers vs. Celtics championship game in Los Angeles.

- Since leaving WWE, Bryan Danielson has been booked for several independent shows in the coming months. The former Daniel Bryan will be wrestling for CHIKARA on June 26th in Detroit, AIW on June 27th in Cleveland, July 3rd & 4th for WXW in Germany, July 23rd for EVOLVE in Union City, New Jersey, July 24th for Dragon Gate USA in Philadelphia and July 30th in Reseda, California for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla.

Danielson has been talking with Ring of Honor officials about a return there but the two sides haven't come to terms on an agreement yet. Danielson won't be able to appear on any ROH TV shows, DVD's or internet pay-per-views until his 90-day non-compete clause with WWE expires

- An independent wrestling group called Universal Championship Wrestling is doing a show called Road Wild in Sturgis, South Dakota at the Full Throttle Saloon on August 13th. You may remember that WCW ran pay-per-views from Sturgis called Road Wild. The free-admission UCW show will feature wrestling in-front of a biker crowd, just like WCW did. Names like Scott Steiner, Al Snow, Scott Norton, The Barbarian and Ron Simmons are being advertised.

UCW uses other WCW names for their events like Nitro, Super Brawl, Spring Stampede and Clash of the Champions. The promotion's current Champion is Tommy Dreamer and their roster has several former WCW and WWE stars including Sid, Ivory, Buff Bagwell, David Flair, Disco Inferno, Glacier, Pamela Paulshock, Juventud Guerrera, Rick Steiner, Jazz, Scott Hall, X-Pac and Ultimo Dragon, among others.

- People in WWE indicate that WWE asking fans on Facebook yesterday whether or not they should bring Bryan Danielson back was simply their way of bringing in traffic off the whole Daniel Bryan situation.

As noted before, WWE does want to bring Danielson back once everything blows over from the incident that got him fired.

The impression within WWE among most is that Daniel Bryan didn’t know about the “Chris Benoit protocol” where talents aren’t supposed to choke each other with objects. Word is that the protocol was something that was talked about in meetings and some of the talents who have been around for a few years knew about but it wasn’t something that was talked about regularly. There is said to be a lot of sympathy right now for Bryan.

According to several sources within WWE, John Cena's latest tweet concerning Bryan Danielson's WWE release has garnered Cena quite a bit of heat amongst the boys in the locker room. The general feeling amongst the talent is that they are all part of a major work, as Cena has been curiously outspoken about the release of Bryan Danielson. It is unlikely that a WWE star would ever publicly criticize a decision made by the company, so a lot the guys in the back feel that Cena is in on something that they are not aware of.

- Word is that someone outside of WWE with a lot of power made a complaint to Vince McMahon about Bryan choking Justin Roberts with his own tie on RAW because a scene like that was too violent for WWE. The belief among some if that in that incident, Bryan broke a company protocol that was put in place after the Chris Benoit tragedy that no talents were to use ropes or other objects to choke opponents. Obviously this has been done other times since the Benoit tragedy but the feeling is that it was this particular angle with Bryan and Roberts that got someone powerful enough to complain
