There was some local news coverage of Magnum TA being turned away from Disney's Magic Kingdom theme park last week on Orlando news tonight. TA had brought his family but was refused entry as the parks have banned Segways and TA uses one (with a seat) to get around. The park offered to rent TA an electric scooter but did not have any that would have allowed him to operate the vehicle with his left hand (as he is paralyzed on his right side). Disney makes their Segway policy very public on their website and the entire situation is unfortunate, so hopefully the two sides can figure out something, as it is a shame that TA brought his children to Disney only to be unable to enter. When the reports pop up online, we'll link to them.
Several readers have noted that their local promotions, who are members of the National Wrestling Alliance, have started to move away from using those initials. NWA Smoky Mountain in particular are advertising that their event this Saturday 8/19 will be their final event. The reason for this is that the NWA licenses with promotions that paid for them under Bruce Tharpe's version of the organization will expire this October and under new owner Billy Corgan, those licenses will not be renewed.
A trailer for a forthcoming documentary on Joey Ryan was released today. Jim Cornette will be narrator. Just kidding.
