• Old School Wrestling Legend Celebrates His Birthday

Old School Wrestling Legend “The Masked Assassin” Jody Hamilton (Real name: Joseph Hamilton) celebrates his 82nd birthday today.

Jody Hamilton wrestled for several territories during the 50s, 60s, 70s & 80s, before a back injury forced him to retire from active professional wrestling in 1988.

As Assassin #1, he was one half of the famous old school Tag Team “The Assassins” aka “The Masked Assassins”, but over the years Jody had several partners under the mask of Assassin #2, such as Roger Smith, Tom Renesto, “Moondog Rex” Randy Colley and even Hercules Hernandez.

In 1993, Hamilton worked for Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling as a heel manager for Pretty Wonderful (Paul Orndorff & Paul Roma).

In 1994, he was inducted into the short-lived WCW Hall of Fame, but he has yet to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, which – if it actually happens – is most likely going to happen as part of their annual Legacy Wing inductions.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MASKED ASSASSIN!

• WWE SmackDown Results – Paul Heyman Becomes Roman Reigns’ Manager

Below are the complete results from tonight’s SmackDown:

– Vince McMahon told WWE Producer Adam Pearce to get signatures from “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman, & Roman Reigns for their Universal Championship match at Payback

– Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy came out and said he’s ready to defend his Intercontinental Title in an Open Challenge. AJ Styles came out and said Jeff is a cheat and had to use a foreign object to defeat him

– Jeff Hardy (c) def. SmackDown Tag Team Champion Shinsuke Nakamura to retain the Title (Cesaro wasn’t happy with Nakamura not telling him about this and challenging for the IC Title, Sami Zayn returned after the match with his old Intercontinental Title belt)

– Adam Pearce turns into a Postman and rings the doorbell of the Firefly Fun House to get Bray Wyatt’s signature. Bray said he signed Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman’s death warrants

– Matt Riddle def. Shorty G (King Corbin vs. Matt Riddle is made official for Payback)

– SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley blamed herself for Sasha Banks losing the RAW Women’s Championship to Asuka at SummerSlam, since it’s well known Sasha can’t successfully defend the RAW Women’s Title and wants to move forward. Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler interrupted via satellite and claim they will take the Women’s Tag Team Titles this Sunday at Payback. Sasha said she will get her vengeance at Payback

– Sami Zayn tried to reunite with Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura, but they explain that they are a Tag Team now and want Sami out of their Champions Lounge

– Braun Strowman def. Drew Gulak (Strowman said the Payback contract after the match. Prior to the match, Gulak hit Strowman with a Steel Chair backstage, but nothing happened to Strowman)

– SmackDown Tag Team Champion Cesaro def. Kalisto after Gran Metalik & Lince Dorado went after Shinsuke Nakamura at ringside and caused distraction (After the match, Lucha House Party got into another argument)

– Nikki Cross showed Tamina the mug that Alexa Bliss bought her last year. Bliss showed up wearing her pigtails with her died pink hair that she used to wear when she was a heel. Cross mentioned she hasn’t seen Bliss wear her hair like that in a while. Cross said that her hair reminds her a little bit of The Fiend. Alexa had a blank look on her face and then got upset and broke Nikki’s mug

– Big E & Heavy Machinery def. The Miz, John Morrison, & Sheamus (Sheamus left the match mid-way)

– Roman Reigns signed the Payback contract and revealed that Paul Heyman is his new manager. Reigns said he’s going to win back the Universal Championship, which he never lost, and that’s not a prediction – that’s a spoiler.
