2013 - Championship Wrestling from Hollywood held a TV Taping. Steven Ronquillo filed the following live report:
Championship Wrestling from Hollywood ran its series of television tapings at the Commerce Casino in Commerce, California on Sunday, July 22nd. This was the second straight taping to take place at the casino and once again reminded me how great of a venue it is.
The show opened up with PPRay (€œPretty€ Peter Avalon and Ray Rosas) coming out to the ring. Rosas talked about how they have defeated the RockNES Monsters three straight times and therefore deserve to be the number one contenders for the tag team titles. This brings out the RockNES Monsters (Johnny Goodtime and Johnny Yuma). The crowd chants €œstupid haircut€ at Yuma who looks like Kid Kash. Yuma says that nobody has done what the RockNES Monsters have done and they are the top contenders for the belts. The Tribe (Hawaiian Lion and Navajo Warrior w/ Olivia) come out and mention how they were champions for 20 months before they were robbed of the belts. The Heritage Tag Team Champions Los Banditos (Rico Dynamite and Tito Escondido) enter the ring. Dynamite says it doesn€™t matter who has accomplished anything because in the end Los Banditos are the ones holding the belts. Dynamite says they can take on all three teams at once. This leads to all eight men attacking each other and they are brawling all over the place. Jon Ian heads to the ring to stop everything. Ian says that obviously everyone wants a fight so therefore there will be a four team elimination match for the titles next week (later that night).
Great opening segment and a great way to show the importance of the tag team titles. Very excited to see how the match is played out.
Dave Marquez makes his way to the ring and brings out the Heritage Champion, Scorpio Sky. Scorpio Sky makes his way to the ring with Big Duke and Christian Cole. Scorpio Sky is running down everyone as Ryan Taylor makes his way to the ring. Taylor says he has a contract to face Scorpio Sky for the Heritage Championship and wants his match tonight. Jon Ian comes back out with his assistant Danielle and says the contract means nothing and rips it up. Ian says if Taylor can defeat Gregory Sharpe later tonight he can get a shot at the title. Cole says that is fine with everyone, but Ian says that does not mean Scorpio Sky has the night off. Ian says Scorpio Sky will defend the title against whoever his assistant Danielle selects. Scorpio Sky asks her to pick someone who is an athlete and not some pretty Twilight boy. Danielle says she will think about it.
A solid segment that moves Scorpio Sky into a new storyline. With Shaun Ricker no longer in the company it will be interesting to see what is next for Scorpio Sky and the top championship in CWFH.
Terex defeated Big Duke via pinfall after a spine buster by Terex. Scorpio Sky and Christian Cole were at the commentary table for this match and surprisingly did not interfere. This was a bit surprising as Duke was dominating the whole time. Not sure where they go with Duke as he has lost his last few televised matches.
Rudy Talawana defeated Brian Weston via pinfall with a sunset flip. Rudy is a very small wrestler who gets the crowd behind him as the big underdog. Weston dominated the whole match until Rudy was able to reverse a sunset flip for the win. Weston has the Nobodies in his corner as team leader Pinky forgave Weston for the loss.
Hoss Hogg and Ian W. Sutton defeated Saxon Huxley and Robbie Churchill via pinfall. Apparently Hogg and Sutton are now family members and they had a brother and a sister at ringside for this match. The match was short and decent but was more of an introduction to Hogg and Sutton now becoming a team.
Todd Chandler made his way to the ring and announced he has resigned as an active official for the company. Chandler says he lost his confidence for a while but regained it when he put on the silver mask and became Blake Fox. He
apologizes to everyone and especially Shelly Martinez for lying to her. Ricky Mandel comes out and says it is too late to apologize. Mandel suggest if Chandler is going to quit everything he might as well quit at life. Both men attack each other and they brawl around the ring.
Good segment to continue the feud between these two men. I am expecting Shelly Martinez to show up for this feud.
Scorpio Sky defeated Jarek Matthews via pinfall to retain the Heritage Championship. A lot of people were surprised to see Matthews come out for this match as he is not seen as a main event guy. With that said, this was a very entertaining match. Matthews was a huge underdog and really had the crowd behind him. There were several close pinfalls that had people thinking Matthews had a chance to win. Great job by both guys and a great way to put over Matthews.
Ethan HD defeated Tristan Kell€™I via pinfall when HD had his feet on the ropes for leverage. This was a short match that was looked to be designed to give HD more exposure. He is new to the company and has been getting more TV time as of late. He€™s got a good look and could be something down the line.
Ricky Mandel defeated Todd Chandler via stoppage when Shelly Martinez threw in the towel for Chandler. This was a great brawl between two wrestlers who had a personal grudge with each other. Chandler was busted open badly after being thrown head first into the ring post. Martinez came out and threw in the towel for Chandler but later kick him in the groin to show her allegiance with Mandel.
Gregory Sharpe defeated Ryan Taylor via pinfall after a roll up. This was a very excellent match and Sharpe continues to make a splash in CWFH. This victory will earn him a match later with Scorpio Sky for the Heritage Championship.
Taylor looked great during the match and did a great job post match when he started crying in the ring.
Biggie Bigz and Ridiculoso defeated Angel Lopez and Luis Tapia of the Nobodies via pinfall. Bigz and Ridiculoso are a fun team that are very kid friendly. They are sort of like Tons of Fun in WWE where they dance and entertain the crowd.
The loss adds more tension to the Nobodies as they have not won a match in some time.
Following the match Cedric the Hitman attacked Bigz and Ridiculoso with the metal briefcase. Stu Stone grabs the mic and runs down Adam Pearce. This brings out Mikey O€™Shea and he chokeslams Cedric. O€™Shea calls out James Morgan.
Mikey O€™Shea defeated James Morgan via pinfall with the Irish Curse. Morgan was in control but was distracted when Adam Pearce€™s music played but nobody came out. Morgan is looking more like a stud every time he comes out. He could be a future champion. O€™Shea looked strong as well and is a huge fan favorite. He€™s not big as far as height goes, but he is a strong guy.
Willie Mack defeated Nick Madrid via pinfall. This was a really fun match and so far the match of the night. Madrid is a young guy who has very athletic moves and is over with the crowd. Mack is probably the most underrated indie star that I have seen in the past year. He is so great and very over with the crowd. He€™s got the charisma and the athleticism who can put on a hell of a match.
Eric Cross fought Jarek Matthews to a no contest. Both men were on the top rope when the both fell and Matthews landed on his head. They played off that Matthews was seriously injured and referees and announcers went to check on Matthews. Cross, who is Matthews€™ best friend, was very concerned and upset for injuring Matthews. Out of nowhere Cross jumped onto Matthews and counted his own three count and celebrated. This will lead to a feud between the two former friends.
Che Cabrera and Sasha Darevko defeated Saxon Huxley and Robbie Churchill via pinfall. Cabrera has been talking about a revolution for some time and turned out to be the team of Darevko and himself. Short match to put over the new team.
Eric Watts defeated Othello via DQ when Cedric the Hitman attacked Watts. This led to Mikey O€™Shea coming out and a tag team match was made.
Eric Watts and Mikey O€™Shea defeated Cedric and Othello via pinfall. A good back and forth battle that showed some tension growing between Othello and manager Stu Stone. Othello is a beast of a man. I wouldn€™t be surprised if someone tries to sign him based on his look. He could use some improvement in the ring but his look is great.
PPRay defeated Los Banditos, RockNES Monsters, and the Tribe to win the Heritage Tag Team Championship. Hell of a match! Match of the night by far. All eight men worked their rear ends off and it showed in the ring. There was action going on all over the place and the fans were eating it up. It is nice to see a company put so much emphasis on the importance of the tag team championships. Really happy to see PPRay when the belts as they are very entertaining and work damn hard. Again, match of the night.
Terex defeated Daniel Joseph in a squash match. Again, total squash match.
Scorpio Sky defeated Gregory Sharpe to retain the Heritage Championship. Great match by both guys. Scorpio Sky played the role of Anderson Silva early on when he kept playing around with Sharpe. Finally Sharpe connected with a kick to the head and almost got the pinfall.
Ethan HD, Tommy Misfit, and Tristan Kell€™i defeated Hobo, Manimal, and Kevin Douglas. The story of this match was to continue the tension between friends Hobo and Manimal. For weeks Hobo has been accidently interrupting Manimal€™s matches and it continued tonight. Hobo accidently punched Manimal when Hobo thought he was being attacked from behind. After the match Manimal attacked Hobo as Douglas laughed. It looks like Douglas was the one causing the tension between the
former friends as Manimal walked out with Douglas.
James Morgan defeated Eric Watts via pinfall after knocking out Watts with a foreign object. After the match Adam Pearce came out and took out members of the Family Stone. Pearce grabbed Family Stone member Heather Lynn and performed a
pile driver on her. I heard from some fans in the crowd that could have been it for Heather Lynn as she is leaving the company.
Pinky defeated Hector Canales. This match continues the storyline of tension in the Nobodies as Pinky has had enough of Canales.
Joey Ryan defeated Willie Mack to retain the Television Championship. You read that correctly. Tyler Cintron was the company€™s TV Champion but when it was time to introduce the champion for the match Ryan came out with the belt instead.
When asked why he was out here Ryan said he is the biggest star on TV so why not be the TV Champion. I will have to listen to the commentary for this match when it airs to get more specifics on why Cintron is no longer champion. As for the match it was a great battle between both guys. I really hope this becomes a feud for the belt because it could be a lot of fun.
Overall a very great taping and a great job by Dave Marquez and company. Marquez did announce the next taping will take place on August 11 at a new location in Ventura County. Details will be on the official CWFH website.
You can watch new episodes of Championship Wrestling from Hollywood every Sunday morning at 1 am PST on KDOC in the Los Angeles area and on MAVTV every Sunday morning at 5 am PST. Also, catch new and past episodes online at hollywoodwrestling.com.
2014 - CM Punk was interviewed in Cleveland, Ohio prior to his stint hosting the red carpet interviews for AXS-TV's coverage of the AP Music Awards by CBS 19's Chris Van Vlie
The jubilant Punk noted he was "off the market" while showing off his wedding ring and discussed how he ended up as one of the hosts for the broadcast.
When asked what he was doing for the last six months, Punk said he has pieces of his life that he doesn't remember "due to staph infections and concussions" and when asked if he should be called a former WWE Superstar, said, "Neither. I'm CM Punk. I'm a Superstar."
When asked about returning to wrestling, Punk commented he would, "never ever ever ever ever" be back inside the ring.
2014 - WWE broadcast Raw. Richard Trionfo filed the following TV report:
We are in Miami, Florida and your announcers are Jerry €˜Maybe they would rather have Lebron back instead of the IC Champion€™ Lawler, John €˜I can see my home from here€™ Layfield, and Michael €˜I wonder if Brock will return to this arena like he did 2 years ago€™ Cole.
The show starts off with Triple H making his way to the ring to make a major announcement.
Hunter says that he was walking around backstage and no one wants to look at him in the eye. They are scattering around on eggshells as if he is going to blow a gasket over what happened last night. Over the fact that the WWE Title did not come back to the Authority and stayed on John Cena.
Hunter says that he is mad. He is very mad. He is madder than he has been in a long time. However, he has options. Hunter says that he is going to . . .
Tweet his displeasure. He is going to go on social media to complain about it. He might even send an Instagram or a Vine. Hunter says that he is going to threaten if he doesn€™t get what he wants, he is going to riot. If that doesn€™t work, him and his friend Mark are going to stop watching.
Hunter says that he could fire everyone in the back. He will fire the crowd too and throw them out in the weather. That will solve his problems.
Or, he can just relax, knowing that sooner or later, he always wins. If he has to wait four more weeks until SummerSlam to win, then so be it. Like a true genius once said, at SummerSlam he can Guarandamntee that John Cena will not be the WWE Champion.
The question is WHO?
Who number one, Randy Orton makes his way to the ring and he wants to know if we are really talking about this. He wants his one on one rematch. The rematches is what he is owed. He guarantees if he is in a one-on-one match at SummerSlam, he will beat John Cena.
Hunter says that he appreciates that confidence and while Randy makes a compelling argument about why he should get the match, he is the front runner.
Hunter says that everyone will get a chance to convince him. Hunter says that he wants someone to impress him. He wants someone to go the extra mile to show him. He wants someone to show him that they want it more than anything in life. They want to be WWE Champion.
Orton says that if Kane had done his duty and done his job, Randy says that he would be standing here with these titles around his waist.
Kane€™s name is mentioned so €˜Who Number Two€™ makes his way to the ring. Kane says that he hopes that he is being considered to face John Cena. Kane says that he knows that he can beat John Cena. He knows that he can be the one to bring the title back to the Authority. So long as he is not acting as Randy Orton€™s protector. He is tired of babysitting.
Hunter has to separate Kane and Orton while €˜Who Number Three€™ makes his way through the crowd.
Roman says that if you are going to have a conversation about the WWE Championship, he thinks his name should be in it. Last time he checked, no one wants to see John Cena versus Kane. Nobody want to see Randy Orton versus John Cena again. It sounds like everybody wants to see John Cena versus Roman Reigns. BELIEVE THAT.
Orton takes care of Kane with a Superman Punch and Orton slides out of the ring.
Hunter says that he believes that Roman Reigns is going to have a match. He believes that Roman Reigns is going to face Kane . . . and Randy Orton. He believes that this match is going to take place right now.

Brie has gone from being a world famous diva to just another face in the crowd. It is fitting. Why is Brie in this position? Because she abandoned her sister for her husband, Daniel Bryan, the B+ Player. Daniel Bryan was stripped of the WWE Championship and has been on the shelf ever since.

The Wyatts say that they are here.
Cole mentions that the Wyatts attacked Chris Jericho while he was being interviewed during the commercial break.
Bray welcomes everyone to the Highlight Reel. Unfortunately your scheduled host is unable to make it. He is a bit indisposed. Where oh where could Chris Jericho be? Bray says that he wonders.
We go to the WWE app footage of Bray, Luke, and Erick attacking Chris Jericho in his locker room. Bray tells Chris that sooner or later, they all fall down. Bray hums as he leaves.
Bray asks where is Chris Jericho? Where is your savior? Surprise surprise, he ain€™t here for you. You know who is here? Bray is. He is here just like he has every day since he has been around. He says that he can read your thoughts. He knows that you are thinking because Chris had his arm raised last night that he is the better man. Do you believe that Bray would burden himself with these petty things? A loss in a battle does not matter because the war is what counts. Bray says that he created war.
It was not so long ago that the Wyatt Family entered a WWE ring for the first time. In their reign of terror, they have dismantled giants and destroyed monsters. They have brought so called heroes to their knees. Who does Chris Jericho think he is dealing with? Bray says that he is the Eater of Worlds. He is every bit the monster that they think he is.
Bray says that you cannot measure him like you can measure a normal man. You cannot measure him by how many dollar bills you have because society is his play thing. Time is irrelevant to him. He lives 100 years in a day. Since last night, it has been recurring in his head. Abigail told him to be careful chasing vengeance because you will need to dig two graves. One for your enemy and one for yourself. Bray says that he is forever.
We see Chris Jericho being checked in the back while R Truth wants to know what happened (since he probably doesn€™t watch the WWE App). Zack Ryder is there as well.

Paul says that his client acknowledges this divide that permeates through the WWE Universe. There are those who wear their green t-shirts and pump up sneakers as they scream at the top of their lungs €˜Let€™s Go Cena€™. There are those who offer the contrarian position because their mommies don€™t tuck them into bed and they say €˜Cena sucks€™.

Paul says that everyone wanted to be the one to stop the Undertaker€™s streak. Brock beat the Undertaker so violently that Vince McMahon had to ride in the ambulance because our heartless chairman cared so much about a Deadman€™s life. That same beating is waiting for you John.
Brock is not the stereotypical villain who will offer John to surrender the title to escape the beating. John, you cannot escape this beating. Brock will take John Cena down. He will punch John Cena€™s face in. John will be hurt by Brock Lesnar. He will injure John Cena. He will mangle John Cena. Then he will F-5 John Cena and then he will strip John of the dignity of being the WWE Champion. The same way that he stripped the Undertaker of his dignity and exposed the Undertaker€™s streak as a myth. The same myth that he hears about John Cena being the greatest WWE Champion of all time. Fifteen titles in 10 years. That sounds like something work conquering. Paul pledges his allegiance to the conqueror who stands before him. One Cenation, with no hustle, loyalty, or respect for all.
Paul says that he is the one behind the one in twenty-one and one. Paul says that his client will beat John Cena at SummerSlam and become the WWE Champion of the World.
