One More? WWE Interested In Signing Former Ring Of Honor World Champion.

December 15, 2018 • Admin

Is there anyone left for them to get? WWE, and NXT in particular, have picked up more names than they know what to do with as of late. They have all kinds of talent, to the point where they barely seem to know what to do with all of it. That’s never stopped them before, as there is always another name of two worth picking up. That seems to be the case now, as they have their eye on another top indy star. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is interested in signing former Ring of Honor World Champion Dalton Castle. This isn’t the first time WWE has gone after Castle, as they went after him before back in 2017. Castle, 32, has been with Ring of Honor since 2013 and is a one time Ring of Honor World Champion, having won the title in December of 2017. Castle is rather….different. Check out this promo for Castle’s match at Final battle 2018: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: Castle is the kind of unique character that you don’t get to see very often in ..

December 15, 2018 • Admin

When the boss comes around, you know that things are about to go down. According to a new report from WWE.com, Vince McMahon will be making his return to Raw next Monday night, December 17. This appearance will take place one night after the 2018 TLC pay-per-view event. The Chairman made an appearance on Raw in January of 2018, on the 25th anniversary episode. You can see a clip of that below: [This post contains video, click to play] From WWE.com: The landmark appearance of The Chairman comes one night after WWE TLC, where Corbin intends to be named the permanent General Manager of Raw following a forfeit victory over the injured Braun Strowman in a Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match, per the stipulation handed down by Commissioner Stephanie McMahon. However, rumors abound that The Monster Among Men could make an appearance at this Sunday’s WWE TLC event and stop The Lone Wolf from assuming total control of Team Red. With Mr. McMahon’s return imminent, however, Corbin could have a l..

Impact Wrestling Results – December 13, 2018

December 14, 2018 • Admin

Impact Wrestling Date: December 13, 2018 Location: Sam’s Town Hotel & Gaming Hall, Las Vegas, Nevada Commentators: Josh Matthews, Don Callis This needs to be a good show as the next two episodes are going to be Best Of 2018 editions, meaning this is the last chance to set up Homecoming until the go home show. They’ve got a big main event with Moose vs. Brian Cage, which should see both guys beating each other up very well. Let’s get to it. The opening recap looks at the big stories. Opening sequence. Ultimate X Qualifying Match: Rich Swann vs. Dave Crist Jake Crist and Sami Callihan are at ringside with Dave. Crist sits in the corner for a long time to start, which is enough to lure Swann in to a false sense of security and a big boot. Stomping and choking ensue in the corner, followed by Swann being sent to the floor so Jake Crist can drop Swann on the apron. Back in and Swann starts hamming away with right hands (and some dancing of course), followed by a Lethal Injection for two..

Cool And Unique Video: A Cosplaying Triple Threat Takes Place On A New York City Subway

December 14, 2018 • Admin

I love this town. New York is the Mecca of professional wrestling. It’s the most important city in the history of WWE and has hosted a wide variety of independent wrestling over the years. Wrestling fans take their sport very seriously up there and will be seeing WrestleMania 35 there in just a few months. However, I doubt they’ve seen something like this recently. That’s certainly a new one. Check out some very dedicated wrestling fans doing what they love: [This post contains video, click to play] A group called Subway Mania features fans cosplaying as wrestlers and staging matches on New York City subway cars. These have included everything from regular matches to full on Royal Rumbles, though in this case it was a triple threat match between Kane, Steve Austin and Triple H.

Hello New People. Full List Of Participants In WWE Performance Center Tryouts.

December 14, 2018 • Admin

Keep em coming. NXT has become one of the most interesting wrestling promotions of all time. The point of the place doesn’t exactly seem to be to make money, but rather to serve as a pipeline to the main roster. The promotion, as well as the Performance Center, is the place where the new wrestlers go before they’re ready to come up to the big shows. At some point you have to bring in some new talent though, and that might be the case at the moment. A new set of tryouts took place at the WWE Performance Center this week with a host of names from a variety of backgrounds taking part. There are names from the NCAA, UFC, independent wrestling and elsewhere, with the biggest name arguably being Penelope Ford, who is best known as Joey Janela’s girlfriend and had a well received performance at All In. Here is a list of the participants from WWE.com: * Former UFC middleweight Eric Spicely (pictured above), 32, from Rhode Island. The 205-pounder holds 10 wins in professional fights and was a..

He’s Running Out Of Time. The Latest On Braun Strowman’s Status For TLC And Beyond.

December 14, 2018 • Admin

So you’re saying there’s a chance? With TLC less than a week away, it’s probably time to have a main event set. While we do have a match that is likely set to headline the show, we might not have one of the major participants included. As of a few weeks ago, Braun Strowman was on the shelf with a horrible elbow injury. The question became would he be back in time, and now we might have a more concrete answer. According to the WrestleVotes Twitter account, Strowman is not going to be wrestling on the upcoming TLC pay per view in his scheduled Tables, Ladders and Chairs match with Baron Corbin. Strowman is also not scheduled to wrestle on the upcoming holiday season house shows with John Cena replacing him. Strowman will however be appearing at the shows in some capacity. Back to news: I’m hearing Braun Strowman is still not likely to compete Sunday at TLC. So much so, that on the holiday tours, John Cena will wrestle in his place. Strowman will still appear at the holiday tour shows, ..

Full Free Show: Impact Wrestling’s First Ever Event

December 14, 2018 • Admin

You have to start somewhere. Back in 2002, the wrestling world was in a very different place. WWE was now the lone major promotion in the North American wrestling scene, but some new challengers were approaching. One of these promotions was NWA: TNA, which eventually evolved into Impact Wrestling. There’s a lot of history to be seen there, and some of it is being rolled out of the vault. And here’s what it starts. Witness the first ever NWA: TNA event, which almost has to be seen to be believed: [This post contains video, click to play] Impact Wrestling has posted the full version of its first ever show, which originally aired on June 19, 2002 in Huntsville, Alabama. The show was a two hour pay per view event, which was all the promotion offered for the first two years in the way of television. The event includes a match called Gauntlet For The Gold, a twenty man gauntlet match to crown a new NWA World Champion. There are several stars of today and yesterday included, such as AJ St..

A Different Kind Of Comeback. Big Update On John Cena’s Next WWE Return

December 14, 2018 • Admin

We really can’t see him? John Cena is on yet another of his now regular breaks from WWE, though at this point you could pretty easily say that his time in WWE is a break from his Hollywood schedule. With the biggest time in the WWE calendar coming up, it’s time for Cena to make another return to the company. However, this one might be coming with a bit of a catch. According to a new interview with the Toronto Star, Cena is scheduled to make another return to the company in the coming weeks, but none of his appearances with the company are going to be televised. At the moment he is scheduled to start his return on December 26 but he will be leaving to film a new movie on January 20. Cena will not be making any appearances on WWE TV, though he is scheduled to appear on a few Monday Night Raw’s, likely in post show dark matches or segments. Cena has certainly been busy as of late. Here he is at the premiere of his latest movie: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: I kno..

Ring Of Honor TV Results – December 12, 2018

December 14, 2018 • Admin

Ring of Honor Date: December 12, 2018 Location: Stage AE, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Commentators: Colt Cabana, Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman It’s the go home show for Final Battle and most of the card is actually set for the only time of the year. I could go for more of that but ROH would rather have the ridiculous scheduling for whatever reason. On top of that this is likely the last time we’ll be seeing the major stories this year as we tend to get Best Of shows to close out December. Let’s get to it. We open with a recap of SCU’s contract situation and Christopher Daniels agreeing to have his last match against Marty Scurll at Final Battle with a World Title shot on the line. Opening sequence. Silas Young vs. Flip Gordon Fallout from a few weeks back where Gordon got caned. Hang on though as Flip asks if Silas is really the Last Real Man. If he’s that serious, let’s make this an I Quit match as a Final Battle preview. Silas kicks him down and says it’s on. Gordon is in trouble e..

Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose: Built to Shine at ‘WWE TLC’

December 13, 2018 • Admin

Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose will finally go to war at WWE TLC on Sunday, December 16. The former Shield teammates have a major score to settle and even though Rollins was ready to fight and defend his Intercontinental Championship, Ambrose has done everything in his power to prolong the inevitable. But now the day of reckoning is at hand. As fans prepare for TLC and this match specifically, the time might be right to forget the issues. That’s not always the easiest thing to do of course, especially since WWE seems wrought with issues as of late. But it could be that none of that will matter on December 16 because Seth and Dean will most certainly deliver in the ring. Perhaps the time has indeed come to have some fun. For the past several weeks, fans have been irate over the current state of Monday Night Raw. WWE’s flagship program has suffered from a lack of big money stars. It’s also suffered from a lack of plausible storylines That combination is a recipe for disaster and fans a..

Former NXT Superstar Returns To The Brand, Challenges Ricochet

December 13, 2018 • Admin

The developmental division may have gotten a bit more pretty. On this past week’s episode of NXT, Tyler Breeze made his return to the brand, and challenged Ricochet for the North American Championship. You can see a clip of that match below: [This post contains video, click to play] From WWE.com: Breeze’s shocking return to the black-and-gold fortress came after Ricochet called on NXT management to find a challenger for his NXT North American crown. Adding value to Regal’s rolodex, Breeze proved to be the competition Ricochet was waiting for. Minutes into the match, Prince Pretty wrapped The One and Only with a pinning predicament that fluidly turned into a knee-bending leglock. From there, as “Breeze is gorgeous” chants filled Full Sail Live, it was clear the gritty effort by Breeze would push Ricochet to his limits, forcing the latter to fire on all cylinders. Late in the contest, Ricochet’s attempted springboard moonsault was met by a superkick from Breeze, leaving him room to..

What Kinds Of Changes Could FOX Make To The SmackDown Live Deal?

December 13, 2018 • Admin

Not so simple? Earlier this year, WWE announced the huge move of having SmackDown Live head over to the FOX Network in October 2019. This is one of the biggest moves WWE has ever managed to pull off and it’s hard to imagine how it could be anything but a positive for the company. Being on a network is far bigger than being on cable, but it turns out that things might not be so concrete. Dave Meltzer was asked on Twitter if FOX or USA could change the terms of their deal should the ratings for Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live continue to stay as low as they have been recently. Meltzer said that while he didn’t know the specifics, the deals would be in place for the duration of their five year contracts. However, FOX could move SmackDown Live to a different night or time if they chose. I don't know the contractual clauses but I wouldn't expect that to happen. They'll run them for the term and at the end of the term (five years) then they'll make decisions. FOX co..

The More Plans Change. Rumor Killer On The Rock vs. Roman Reigns At WrestleMania 35.

December 13, 2018 • Admin

Not so fast my cousin. To say that Roman Reigns being gone from WWE for the time being has changed things up would be an understatement. Reigns was the biggest star on the Monday Night Raw roster and pretty much the company as a whole. His absence throws a big wrench into the WrestleMania plans, but what was planned in the first place? It turns out that it’s not what we may have thought. Earlier this year, rumors started sprouting up about Reigns facing his cousin the Rock at WrestleMania 35, perhaps even after Rock won the Royal Rumble. The plan for the match would be to give Reigns the biggest rub possible on the WrestleMania stage. However, according to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer message boards via Cagesideseats.com, the rumors are “not true at all”. I mean, it’s not like he hasn’t tried. Here’s Rock trying to give Reigns the rub before: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: I could see this one going either way. It’s possible that the story was true at..
