Who
has the scoop? More specifically, who has the WWE
sports entertainment aka pro wrestling industry scoop
via video interviews with the arts biggest and best
names? That would be TMZ
of course.
The
media powerhouse with strong ties to the legal profession
(G'day Harvey Levin sir) more often than not gets
the interviews (video, audio and text) that other
outlets wished they got.
To
their credit TMZ has continue to build upon and nurture
their professional relationship with undisputed sports
entertainment leader, the WWE.
Even Triple
H and his beautiful wife, Stephanie
McMahon have appeared on TMZ, and over the years
TMZ has also offered fair and balanced... sometimes
perhaps focussing on positives, to Shane
McMahon and his famous billionaire father, Mr.
Vince McMahon.
There
can be no doubt as to the success of both TMZ and
WWE individually or collectively, and then they "team
up" to cover hot and topical sports entertainment
(pro wrestling) matters, they are largely unbeatable.
Other
mainstream news media outlets also have ramped up
their coverage of the mat game, pro wrestling style,
including ESPN, Rolling Stone, CBS, and down under
in Australia Murdoch backed News.com.au
and The
Daily Telegraph offer decent coverage, with the
occasional run by FOX
Sports Australia.
Some
wrestling insiders are starting to state that rival
pro wrestling powerhouse, the Japan based New Japan
Pro Wrestling, is starting to more aggressively challenge
the WWE in a range of media and marketing spectrums
including live attendance, a wrestling subscriber
based streaming offering, and the all important battle
for positive mainstream news headlines. A birdy told
us that New Japan missed some media opportunities
in Australia due to not returning the inquiries of
a couple of Australian based media firms. You can
bet that the WWE won't make the same mistake. Rumor
is that New Japan will be taking their media and communications
in-house for their future tours of Australia due to
getting a few media folks off-side. News travels fans
these days across the internet ala 1 to 3 seconds.
It's no longer quite a 7 day let alone a 24 hour news
cycle folks, and the super impressive WWE
YouTube channel as well as their other social
media platforms and WWE.com
website reflects this reality. Speaking of wrestling
websites, Impact Wrestling aka TNA Wrestling has been
making some upgrades of their website and social media,
but its hard to keep up with what's current due to
a number of Impact Wrestling talents jumping ship
to other promotions.
Speaking
of talent, congrats on the recent WWE signings including
Rockstar Spud (Drake) and how about the mega positive
splash that Bobby Roode has made. Glorious indeed
Booby, with or without Charlotte Flair by your side
in the WWE
Mixed Match Challenge. Hot rumor of Bobby Lashey's
WWE bound? He would be a heck of a fresh challenger
for 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar.
It
will be interesting to see if the TMZ scoops continue
now that Triple H is more in charge of many aspects
of the WWE machine. Legendary wrestling and sports
promoter Vince McMahon has taken a bit of a breather
in the day to day running of RAW and WWE 205, and
is throwing much of his energy into the XFL football
league, which is expected to be in full flight in
a year or two.
WWE
showcase event WrestleMania
looks to be in safe hands, and judging by recent RAW
and SmackDown televised events, its going to be hot
and loaded. We will be looking to see some additional
news scoops delivered by our friends up at TMZ - TMZ
Sports, and once in a while the Media Man group will
also provide some scoops. We promise not to piss off
WWE management or talent in the progress. No spoilers
on Brock Lesnar going or not going to UFC (the combat
sports media world took heed of a situation between
UFC's Brock Lesnar and a MMA journalist and internet
publisher from a few years ago).
So
TMZ, what's the scoop?... is WWE top brass and wrestlers,
namely African American wrestlers, ready to give Hulk
Hogan the green light to return? On the surface
Mark Henry's advise to Hogan to issue an apology to
all WWE African American wrestlers for his past remarks
seems fair and reasonable. Good on Ric
Flair for having Hogan's back on this and for
endorsing Hogan's bid to return. Fans don't want to
see Hogan wrestle on a weekly basis, but some appearances
in a suitable capacity would be great, and maybe one
more match could be in order. What do the fans want?
Perhaps TMZ Sports could set up an online poll. Vote
early and vote often... just kidding. I think the
poll would have AJ Style's vote (Let me tell you something
Mean Gene (Okerlund).
Fans,
wrestlers, promoters and media analysts, that's just
about a rap for this special Gonzo Journalism style
coverage of the TMZ - WWE powerhouse. Be sure to check
out exclusive Media
Man articles relating to the business of pro wrestling,
and anything else that takes your fancy.
Before
closing, we're very curious to see if our friends
at New Japan Pro Wrestling can infiltrate the TMZ!
Sports broadcast and internet publishing machine.
Triple H and George B, I think it might be best to
keep them locked out or thereabout for the moment.
A bit of punishment perhaps for not treating al of
Australian media with the respect their deserved.
Yeah, New Japan needs to take its media and promotions
in-house, especially for international tours. In the
meantime, WWE is going a fantastic job with its national
and international media relations. Very impressed
and happy in deed thanks Stanford, CT.. that used
to be Titan Towers folks. Gotta love nostalgia, but
not too many mentions of Australia's own Outback Jack
(World Wrestling Federation circa 1997). He may have
been the first Aussie to make it there, but fortunately
not the last. Oh, all power to you Buddy Murphy. We
hear your ready to do Australia proud, and one or
two of the Aussie ladies are into NXT. We will be
watching with keen interest. These Aussie's can compete
with the best, and most will argue that the WWE is
still The Best in the World. Sorry CM Punk, but WWE
are best, but will be turning into a future UFC event
to see your do your thing MMA style. Something tells
us Ken Shamrock from The World's Most Dangerous Podcast
will be offering up his special breed of pro wrestling
and MMA converge on Punk, Ronda Rousey, Lesnar, as
well as the pro wrestling landscape in general. Maybe
Vince, Triple H, Shane or Stephanie need to do their
own more frequently broadcast Podcasts. DTA that's
don't trust anyone (else). You do know that 'Stone
Cold' Steve Austin put a few noses out of joint with
this WWE official podcasts don't you. Hell Yeah...
sometimes in-house is the way to go. Accountability,
performance and results matter. So does reach... in-house
plug while we have your attention: Check out the Media
Man website network for a range of media, publicity
and advertising options. You will be glad you did
folks. We borrowed some of the pitch from Jim Ross.
Thanks J.R. There will only ever be one J.R. It would
be cool to hear him call a match at WrestleMania.
We will leave it with you Hunter, Vince, Hayes and
Road Dogg. Love your work crew.
Stick
with us as things keep gathering speed on the Road
To WrestleMania and do yourself a favor and keep checking
the TMZ Sports
website and YouTube
Channel daily. You won't want to a miss a second.

Impresses Many In And Around Alt Media And Mainstream
Media; Has It's Place In The Media And Sports World:
Media Man
The
entertainment news (also with sports - entertainment
news) is known across the world, and they certainly
don't need to win any more awards, but they continue
to get more than their far share.
"TMZ's
production and resources far exceeds ours. When we
first started out two decades plus ago we had a vision
in the TMZ type of realm. TMZ have put things together
beautifully, where as we have strong reach, algorithms,
connections and are also well established, but there's
a number of elements to our own operation that are
not where they need to be. We frequently recommend
associates and friends in and around the industry
to TMZ and have been doing so for years. This way
good folks get the best of the best globally. Sometimes
we will publish some news grabs on our Media Man website,
blogs and X, just as we have here today. We were delighted
when TMZ started covering combat sports more closely
- wrestling, boxing and MMA. The fighting warriors
are a different breed of celebrity and always have
something interesting to say and promote. Other pop
culture and sports culture websites/outlets that we
rank highly include Web Is Jericho (Chris Jericho).
BJ Penn, Busted Open Radio, My World with Jeff Jarrett,
WrestlingINC and S.I - Sports Illustrated has lifted
their game again also also. ESPN has lost some of
their wokeness and The Pat McAfee Show (more podcast,
not website) rocks too. For podcasts Logan Paul's
Impaulsive gets high marks, as does Chael Sonnen,
and Good Guy/Bad Guy, for MMA specific news. X's Grok
as a news and information platform totally rules.
But, there is only one TMZ and they are the champs"

- week after week, after week, media and fans created
content to fuel the fire, MMA and sports news websites
got behind it, and then the buzz got weaker - what
happened?!
UFC
Prez Dana White has gone public with some of the chain
of events including a he said, she/she said dive and
probe into Elon "The Cyborg" Musk vs Mark
"The Lizard" Zuckerberg. *handles are affectionate
stage name/gimmicks, just to try to keep you entertained
on the story that never seems to have an end! The
pain, oh the pain.
According
to Zuckerberg, Musk is no longer taking the match-up
seriously. Ouch!
Musk
has been semi-active via X (formally Twitter), just
in case you blinked and missed it.
The
fight will be managed by my and Zucks foundations
(not UFC). Livestream will be on this platform and
Meta. Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome,
so nothing modern at all.
Everything
done will pay respect to the past and present of Italy.
And all proceeds go to veterans.
Dana
White, mega promoter and head of the world's most
successful and cashed up MMA promotion, the UFC, was
keen on the two tsars squaring off mano e mano in
the Octagon, has reflected on whats gone pear
shaped via TMZ Sports.
So
(Zuckerberg) and I talk multiple times a week. We
(had) dinner last Monday. Hes very serious about
competing
What he was saying in response to Elon
was, There are tons of professional organizations
out there, and this is the way that this should be
done. Not in some backyard or whatever he was
saying. Elons hilarious.
Think
about this; youve got two of the richest, most
powerful men in the world and they say they wanna
fight. It has to be sanctioned by an athletic commission,
the proper medical testing has to be done, the proper
drug testing has to be done, and thats what
Zuckerberg was saying. Zuckerberg is saying, There
are plenty of professional organizations out there,
we should be fighting in the UFC.
To
add extra balance and perspective, Mark Zuckerberg
had also mentioned ONE Championship as being a potential
host to promote the fight. CEO of ONE Championship
Chatri Sityodtong even took to X to present his thoughts
on the potential MMA match, the competitors, respect
and the like.
Dana
White conceded he did speak with the Italian government
just as Musk stated he did re the Roman Colosseum.
I
did talk with the people from the Ministry of Culture,
and they were interested in doing the fight. That
is absolutely true.
The
initial buzz and hype machine on the potential fight
has slowed, but if it starts looking like much more
than just 'Fantasy Booking', as Media Man and others
have got to be known for, speaking to fighters, promoters
and such on - then the fans and news media will get
behind this again.
"The
world still wants to see Musk vs Zuck. At present
it's been more the Social Media Wars, with Musk winning
the majority of the 6 or so rounds so far, but our
scorecard has Zuck on points for the 6th. Musk has
not submitted, but did take a couple of bruises, since
Dana White checked in on the fighters and has acted
somewhat as commissioner, ref and perhaps Zuck corner-man.
The only battle has still offered some entertainment
value", and at least there was no PPV charge
for this one. Almost like a dark match or prelim match.
Millions want the fight to happen and it would generate
millions for charity. Comon' fellas, let's make history"
- Media Man under the watercooler.

TMZ
Sports is a segment of TMZ, focusing specifically
on sports-related news, often with a celebrity twist
or unique angle that combines sports with entertainment.
Here's what you might find interesting or relevant
about TMZ Sports as of October 19, 2024:
Content:
TMZ Sports covers a range of topics from athlete controversies,
personal achievements outside the sport, to unique
sports events or moments caught on camera. They often
delve into the personal lives of athletes, giving
a behind-the-scenes look or catching them in everyday
situations that might not be covered by traditional
sports news outlets.
Recent
Highlights: Pete Rose's Death: There was significant
coverage around Pete Rose's passing, highlighting
his impact on baseball and his controversial life
after baseball, which included gambling allegations.
Dikembe
Mutombo's Passing: Coverage included his battle with
brain cancer and his contributions to both basketball
and humanitarian efforts.
Floyd
Mayweather's Real Estate Deal: TMZ Sports broke the
news of Mayweather's massive real estate acquisition
in New York City, showcasing how athletes diversify
their earnings post-career.
Format:
TMZ Sports often includes video content, live segments,
and exclusive interviews. They utilize social media
platforms, especially X (formerly Twitter), to share
breaking news, snippets from their shows, or quick
updates on stories. They've also ventured into live
podcasting, engaging directly with their audience
on platforms like YouTube.
Engagement:
Their approach often involves humor, quick wit, and
sometimes controversial takes on sports events or
athlete behaviors, aiming to engage a broader audience
beyond sports fans by blending sports with entertainment
and gossip.
Personality
Driven: Hosts like Michael Babcock, Renee Montgomery,
and Mojo Muhtadi bring personality to the sports news,
discussing stories in ways that appeal to entertainment
seekers as much as sports enthusiasts.
Controversies
and Critiques: Like the main TMZ brand, TMZ Sports
sometimes faces criticism for its approach to privacy,
the sensationalism of stories, or the focus on athletes'
personal lives over their athletic achievements. However,
this approach also garners them a significant viewership
looking for content that traditional sports journalism
might overlook.
Platform
Utilization: They effectively use X for real-time
updates, engaging with followers directly, and for
spreading quick, bite-sized news or reactions. This
strategy keeps them relevant in the fast-paced world
of digital media and sports updates.
If
you're looking for the latest in sports from a unique,
often controversial perspective, or wish to see how
sports figures intersect with broader entertainment
culture, TMZ Sports remains a go-to source for such
content. Their coverage often stirs discussion on
the ethics of sports journalism versus entertainment
reporting, making them a subject of interest in how
media shapes public perception of athletes and sports
events. (Grok)
