10 News Stories You May Have Missed (Aug 1 – Aug 8)

7. Alexa Bliss’ Instagram Is ‘Offensive’

Alexa Bliss – the character – is a spooky goth who occasionally dribbles black ooze and can hypnotize people, before pinning them in a way that upsets their wives.

She also has a puppet who does…something. Alexa Bliss the person really likes Coffee and Disney.

However, according to Instagram, she might like Disney just a little too much, as she revealed in a story post that one of her previous photos of her Disney tattoo was removed from the platform for being ‘offensive’.

Which tattoo even was it? The one which shows the GPS coordinates of Cinderella’s castle in Disneyworld? Was Disney unhappy that she essentially doxxed cinderella? What’s going on?


6. Malakai Black In PWG

With Malakai Black making his AEW in-ring debut against Cody Rhodes this week on Dynamite, you might have missed the spooky goth that isn’t Alexa Bliss making his return to PWG beforehand.

At the very end of PWG’s Mystery Vortex 7, Super Dragon, Demonic Flamita and Black Taurus beat down PWG World Champion Bandido before the lights went out – and this happened.

Wrestling is not wrestling without crowds.


5. Masked Assassin Passes Away

Unfortunately, some sad news for this week as Jody Hamilton, otherwise known as The Masked Assassin, passed away at the age of 82.

His son, former WCW and WWE referee Nick Patrick, made the announcement on Facebook.

Hamilton debuted in the wrestling industry back in 1955, and worked for countless promotions during his tenure, when he retired in 1988 after suffering a broken back.

After that, he continued to work in the industry in a managerial role and re-launched his own promotion, Deep South Wrestling, in 2005, which worked as a WWE feeder and developmental promotion until 2007.

Rest in peace Masked Assassin.


4. Shotzi Black-heat

Remember the Blood and Guts match that ended with Chris Jericho being pushed off the cage onto some crash mats that were very clearly in shot of the camera, which kind of sort of undermined the impact of it a little bit? Yeah me too. But it’s fine. It happens, no need to get upset.

Well after Chris’ big tumble, WWE star Shotzi, who still had her last name at the time, tweeted a gif of someone comfortably falling onto a bed, which is good-natured joshing, right? Right?

Jericho didn’t think so, saying on one of his Saturday night streams that he would “remember” the “chicks in WWE who said some stuff and they should probably not have said that” if they ever came to AEW to look for jobs, also possibly in reference to Shayna tweeting this, which is admittedly a little saltier.

Shotzi spoke about the heat on talkSPORT recently, where she said she enjoyed Blood and Guts and didn’t mean any offense, but said Jericho should “take a joke, bud!”

“It’s just a GIF. Laugh at it and move on. It’s live TV. Things happen, it’s pro wrestling. Don’t take life too seriously is all I have to say”. Good advice in general.
