Ring Of Honor TV Results – December 15, 2021

•

Ring Of Honor Date: December 15, 2021 Location: UMBC Event Center, Baltimore, Maryland Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman We’re around Final Battle, with this show officially debuting before the show took place. At this point though, it isn’t like the date matters since there are only a few shows left in the first place. I’m not sure what to expect here, but odds are we’ll get some good wrestling to go with the rather limited storylines. Let’s get to it. Opening recap. Quinn McKay gives us the welcome and rundown. Sledge vs. PCO Holidead is on commentary and it’s Falls Count Anywhere/no DQ. Before the match, Sledge teases attacking Brian Zane over (jokingly) calling him Steve. Business will be taken care of instead. PCO on the other hand shouts IT’S ALIVE. They slug it out with Sledge hitting a jumping back elbow to the face to take him down. It’s already time to put a trashcan on PCO’s head for a charge in the corner. The fight heads to the floor for the chop off until ..

WWE And AEW Have Backup Plans In Place Of Coronavirus Shutdown

•

They need a backup plan. The Coronavirus pandemic has changed the way the world works, including the wrestling industry. Things are mostly back to normal, but there are some issues that are still not quite what they once were. Now it seems that the entire ordeal is ramping up again and wrestling will need a backup plan. The good thing is that WWE and AEW seem to have that covered. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, both WWE and AEW would likely return to Florida should there be another national shutdown over the Coronavirus pandemic. Florida would not be expected to have any restrictions, meaning AEW could return to Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, while WWE could find another building to use as the Thunderdome. At the moment, there are no expectations for another shutdown to take place. It could be different.

WATCH: Big Title Match Takes Place After Monday Night Raw (Almost Full Match)

•

The night isn’t over yet. WWE television shows can be quite long in the first place, with several wrestlers in action across a good number of matches throughout the night. That can make for some interesting moments, especially if the show is well put together. It can be hard to get the formula right, but sometimes there are even more things to worry about on a given evening. That was the case again this week. As shown on Youtube, a triple threat match took place after this week’s Monday Night Raw went off the air. Following the show, Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch defeated Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan to retain the title. Morgan and Belair traded near falls until Belair was knocked out. Lynch then threw Morgan outside and pinned Belair with a rollup while putting her feet on the ropes. Belair defeated Doudrop earlier in the night, while Morgan and Lynch faced off in an interview. It was an intense ending. Check out the match, plus what the three did on television: [This post conta..

WWE And AEW Both Try (And Fail) To Land Former World Champion

•

They tried. The rise of AEW has changed the way wrestlers are treated in wrestling, as now talent is sought after by both AEW and WWE, resulting in more lucrative offers. A lot of wrestlers have taken the promotions up on those offers, but they are not for everyone. That is the case with one independent star, who has apparently turned down multiple offers to join the bigger leagues. Davey Richards appeared on Vickie Guerrero’s Excuse Me podcast where he revealed that he has turned down multiple offers from WWE and AEW. Richards said that he did not care for televised wrestling, as it did not allow him to have the kind of matches and tell the kinds of stories that he wanted. He has since begun appearing with Major League Wrestling and other independent promotions. Richards has certainly made an impact.

WRESTLING RUMORS: We May Have Seen A Big Turn On WWE Monday Night Raw

•

As the wrestlers turn. With so many wrestlers on the WWE roster today, it can be easy for someone to need a bit of a change. It doesn’t help when there is so much television time to fill every week that a wrestler can get stale pretty fast if they are around too often. Sometimes a change is needed and we might have seen that take place this week in a pretty big way. The main event of this week’s Monday Night Raw featured Bobby Lashley and Big E. teaming up to face Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens. Lashley pinned Owens to win, but was attacked after the match and laid out by Rollins and Owens. Lashley’s manager MVP was also absent from ringside after Lashley asked to do this himself. According to Wrestlingnews.co, while not confirmed, this could suggest a babyface turn for Lashley, who has been a villain for well over a year. Lashley could be on to something here. Check out what he has been doing of late: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to pla..

Top WWE Star Heading Down To NXT

•

Get him a star for his dressing room door. NXT has been shaken up in a lot of ways over the last several months and it does not seem to be for the better. Above all else, it seems that the show has lost almost all of its star power with one established name after another leaving. You can only get so far with so many people leaving, but now it seems that we are getting a special guest star. As announced on this week’s Monday Night Raw, AJ Styles will appear as a guest star for this week’s edition of NXT, which will mark his first appearance on the show since 2019. There is no word on what Styles will be doing, but he was mentioned to be appearing to address comments made by Grayson Waller. This is the first guest star that NXT has had in several months, though there is no word on if it is the first of several. This could be interesting.

WATCH: WWE Tag Team Splits, Grudge Match Already Set

•

So much for that. Tag teams have a complicated history in WWE as the company has a tendency to put teams together just to split them up. It gets annoying seeing so many teams with potential gt torn apart so soon, but that’s just how things go in WWE. Now it seems to be happening again and we already have the first showdown match between the former teammates. This week on Monday Night Raw, AJ Styles and Omos officially split after weeks of teasing to do so. The team appeared on MizTV, where Miz said that Omos believed Styles was holding him back. Then Omos refused to tag in during their tag match, leaning to a loss to the Mysterios. The two brawled after the match, with Omos laying Styles out. A match has been made between them for next week on Monday Night Raw. They had a good run.

LOOK: Brock Lesnar Goes Out Dancing

•

Call it staying in character? There is almost no one in the history of wrestling like Brock Lesnar. With his legitimate amateur wrestling and combat sports background, Lesnar is the once in a generation talent that can change a promotion in a heartbeat. WWE has tried something new with him lately, and now it seems that Lesnar is lightening up a bit outside of the ring as well. A new image of Lesnar has made its way online, showing him dancing with am unidentified woman while grinning at the camera. There is no word on where the photo was taken. This comes as Lesnar has been portraying a more down to earth character, even offering to go hunting or fishing with Sami Zayn.

REVIEW: California Championship Wrestling – August 6, 1986: And You Thought Raw Was Bad

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over twelve years now and have reviewed over 6,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be? California Championship Wrestling Date: August 6, 1986 Location: Fender’s Ballroom, Long Beach, California Commentator: Barry Richards Oh boy I’ve been wanting to check this one out for a long time. California Championship Wrestling is, as you might have guessed, a territory from back in the mid 1980s. What sets it apart is that it is apparently the worst wrestling territory that anyone has ever seen. I’ve seen quite a few bad territories in my day and I’m curious to see what they have.

There Were Some Very Different Plans For Scarlett And Damian Priest In NXT

•

The original plans. WWE has been all over the place this year with its releases and roster changes. Those moves have made it even more difficult to keep track of what is going on, including who is still around and working with whoever else. It makes things even more complicated when you have moves that didn’t make it to television, which is the case again with a pairing that never happened. Scarlett Bordeaux recently took part in a signing with Signed By Superstars. During the signing, Bordeaux revealed that WWE had originally planned for her to manage Damian Priest. Pairing Bordeaux with Priest would have been the idea had Karrion Kross not been able to sign with WWE. Kross did eventually sign and was paired with Bordeaux upon his debut, though both were released from WWE earlier this year. This could have been interesting.

Monday Night Raw Date: December 20, 2021 Location: Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Commentators: Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton We’re less than two weeks away from Day One and the Raw World Title match has grown. Last week Bobby Lashley won a series of matches to earn the right to be added to the match as the bad guys had a big night. Now we need to change things up a bit on the way to the pay per view. Let’s get to it. We open with a recap of Bobby Lashley running the gauntlet last week to earn the Day One title shot. Here are MVP and Bobby Lashley for a chat. MVP hypes up Lashley’s accomplishments last week and explains just how impressive it really was. Now no one can hang with him, but here is Big E. to interrupt. Big E. was impressed last week, but the Lashley that he knows (the one with a lot of sisters) has all of his success on his own. That made it all the more surprising when MVP hit Big E. in the knee with a cane last week. Lashley says he’s a monster but he’..

Tis the season. We are less than a week away from Christmas and less than two weeks away from the new year.

WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Trying To Get Steve Austin For WrestleMania 38

Call it a wish list. We are only a few months away from WrestleMania 38, which will be one of the biggest shows in history. The idea of holding the show on back to back nights in a stadium that can hold 100,000 people is quite the way to go and WWE will have its work cut out for it to fill the place. Now it seems that they have their eyes on someone who could help that issue. According to the WrestleVotes Twitter account, WWE hopes to have Steve Austin appear at WrestleMania. Austin would not be in a wrestling role, but WWE would like to have him be in a bigger role than simply making an appearance. There is no word on if Austin is interested or if he has made an agreement to appear. Austin has been featured in the main television advertisement for WrestleMania. Talked to a few different source this weekend & heard the same thing, WWE is very interested in having Steve Austin as a part of WrestleMania this year in Dallas.

Bret Hart Reflects On Being Inducted Into Canada’s Walk Of Fame

•

It really is an honor. Wrestling is unique among other sports as while there are championships to win, they can also be lost just as fast. There are very few accomplishments that stay with someone forever in wrestling, but the ones that do last are rather important. At the same time though, there are some things that are even more impressive than wrestling, at least according to a certain legend. Bret Hart discussed his induction into the Canada Walk Of Fame during a new interview with KESQ (ABC affiliate in Palm Springs, California). Hart said that while he has been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice (on his own and as part of the Hart Foundation), this induction means more because he is representing an entire country. Hart also talked about what it meant to be a hero to children around the world, including Make-A-Wish children by being someone they could look up to on television. His induction will mark the first time that a wrestler has ever been inducted into the Canada Walk..

AEW’s Sammy Guevara Clears Up Rumors Regarding The End Of His Engagement

•

It shouldn’t have to be said. Wrestlers are a weird breed as they are both full time television stars but also have to find a way to balance things out in their personal lives. That can be rather tricky to pull off, as sometimes the lines become more than a bit blurred. Unfortunately that seems to be the case again and a wrestler has had to shut down a few theories. Earlier this week, AEW TNT Champion Sammy Guevara announced that his engagement with his fiance Pam Nizio had come to an end. Later, Guevara had to issue another statement to Twitter, clarifying that the engagement ended in October and saying that it had nothing to do with anyone else. This comes as AEW’s Tay Conti has also announced a split from her husband, leaving to online speculation that the two situations were somehow intertwined.

Jim Ross Trashes Current WWE Title, Calls It “Hideous”

•

Is he that wrong? There are a lot of titles in the wrestling world and some of them are rather unique. While there are the standards, such as the World Title, Tag Team Titles and Women’s Titles, some championships are much more specific and might not be the most serious. WWE certainly has one and a former long time employee does not seem to think much of it. During a recent edition of his Grilling JR podcast, WWE legend and current AEW broadcaster Jim Ross talked about the 24/7 Title. Ross compared the title to the Hardcore Title, which he described as “another watered-down championship”. He also said that the 24/7 Title was “hideous” and that you cannot name all of the champions in its history. The 24/7 Title was introduced on May 20, 2019 and has had over one hundred and fifty reigns over fifty plus wrestlers. The title has seen some shenanigans.

SmackDown Star Missing From WWE TV Over Lack Of Creative Plans

Maybe next time? There are a lot of wrestlers on the WWE roster and unfortunately that means not everyone can be featured on a regular basis.
