The Young Bucks on Proving People Wrong, ‘Being the Elite,’ ‘Too Sweet’

March 5, 2018 • Admin

The Young Bucks were interviewed on Sports Illustrated’s ‘Extra Mustard’ section on proving people wrong, losing ‘too sweet’ and the success of ‘Being The Elite.’ Matt Jackson explains how they’ve been proving people wrong. “We’ve made a career out of working with a chip on our shoulder. Maybe that’s why we work so hard? To prove others wrong? The pool of doubters has thinned in recent years, but it’s definitely still around.” He continues, commenting on people saying the Bullet Club has peaked and losing ‘too sweet’ was supposed to be the end for them. “People said our careers were over when the ‘Too Sweet’ hand gesture was taken from us. Now, it doesn’t even feel strange not doing it. People said we only knew how to work one style. Then we switched it up completely. People said Bullet Club had peaked for years now. Yet, here we are, as we continue to help it stay interesting and popular.” Nick Jackson comments on ‘Being The Elite.’ “I always knew it was going to be big for us, b..

Update on Tammy “Sunny” Sytch’s Arrest In New Jersey

March 5, 2018 • Admin

It was previously reported that WWE Hall of Famer Tammy “Sunny” Sytch was recently arrested in New Jersey for being a “fugitive from justice.” According to a new report from Fox News and the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office, Sunny is currently facing six charges of contempt — disobedience/resistance. The charges are said to be related to not appearing before the court in two different jurisdictions. Sunny made a surprise appearance at the 15th anniversary of “Raw” several years ago. You can see footage of that below: [This post contains video, click to play] However, there is still no word on the exact circumstances that led to her arrest. As we previously reported, this is not the first time that Sunny has been in trouble with the law. In January 2017, she plead guilty to several charges, including driving without a license, driving an unregistered vehicle, and operating a vehicle without required financial responsibility (no insurance). In addition, she was arrested for disorde..

March 5, 2018 • Admin

This can’t be good. According to a new report from WrestlingInc, NXT superstar Bobby Fish suffered a knee injury at a Live Event tonight in Indianapolis, Indiana. He is currently one half of the NXT Tag Team Champions, along with his partner Kyle O’Reilly. You can see them making their entrance at “NXT Takeover: Philadelphia” below: [This post contains video, click to play] The two were teaming against Heavy Machinery in an NXT Tag Team Championship match when he suffered the injury. As a result, the official threw up the “X” signal after Fish rolled out of the ring. Once outside, he began clutching his knee. Medical personnel immediately tended to Fish and he was assisted to the backstage area. Several fans who were at the show posted tweets regarding the injury: Bobby Fish just got injured ref threw the X up #nxtindy pic.twitter.com/DETeZbGTA4 — Rich Abbott (@RichieAbbottWTF) March 5, 2018 There's an X.

March 4, 2018 • Admin

We haven’t even got to witness ‘WrestleMania 34‘ yet, but it is now being heavily reported by websites such as WrestlingInc and The Inquisitr that we may know the main event for ‘WrestleMania 35.’ It appears the main event for ‘WrestleMania 34’ is set on Brock Lesnar defending his WWE Universal Championship against Elimination Chamber victor Roman Reigns, in a match billed as three years in the making. Slice Wrestling on Twitter announced that the plan for ‘WrestleMania 35’ is to have the women main event for the first time ever. This match would be Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka. It is unknown who would be the Champion going into the match. [This post contains video, click to play] If this does indeed turn out to be the truth, it is interesting to note that we had a ‘WrestleMania 35’ match teased before we had confirmation of the ‘WrestleMania 34’ main event.

What Were the Original Plans for the ‘Mixed Match Challenge?’

March 4, 2018 • Admin

The Mixed Match Challenge has had varied success since WWE created the show for users on Facebook Watch live after ‘Smackdown Live,’ but the Inquisitr has explained what the original plans for the series were. As it stands, the Mixed Match Challenge is a single elimination tournament between teams of both face and heel competitors from ‘Raw’ and ‘Smackdown Live.’ The winning team will be donating money to a charity of their choice. The initial plan for the finale was to pit Asuka and The Miz up against Alexa Bliss and Braun Strowman. Both of these teams represent the ‘Raw’ brand and have significant charities attached to their names. Strowman and Bliss aim to raise money for Connor’s Cure. [This post contains video, click to play] Meanwhile, Miz and Asuka are raising money for Rescue Dogs Rock.

Full Match: Goldberg vs. Kevin Owens From “Fastlane 2017”

March 4, 2018 • Admin

Blink and you’ll miss it. Back in 2016, Goldberg returned to WWE and decided that it was time for one last run. This included defeating Brock Lesnar in a shocking win at “Survivor Series 2016” and then an appearance in the 2017 Royal Rumble. After those performances, next up was a run at another World Title, with Goldberg’s shot coming against Kevin Owens at “Fastlane 2017”. [This post contains video, click to play] WWE has posted the full version of Goldberg vs. Owens on its YouTube page. The match, which didn’t even break thirty seconds, saw Goldberg hit a spear and a Jackhammer to win the title, setting up his title match at “Wrestlemania XXXIII” against Brock Lesnar. The match is one of the shortest World Title changes in history and the fastest in Universal Title history. Opinion: I’m still not happy with the way this went down as the same story could have been told between Goldberg and Lesnar without the title being involved. Either way, Goldberg winning the title here may ..

Fans Not Happy with Brock Lesnar vs. Kane Result

March 4, 2018 • Admin

The Big Red Machine and the Big Red Belt. Over the last few months if not years, Kane has been starting to distance himself from the ring. This includes wrestling far less frequently and making fewer appearances in general. The same is at least somewhat true of Brock Lesnar, who defended his Universal Title against Kane on Saturday night. The match wasn’t exactly well received. Here’s most of the match. [This post contains video, click to play] According to fans who attended the show, the match only lasted about thirty seconds. Lesnar won the match by escaping a chokeslam and hitting an F5 to retain the title. This was Lesnar’s first match since “Royal Rumble 2018” and Kane’s first since losing to Braun Strowman on the January 29 “Monday Night Raw”.

Fox Making Big Push for WWE Broadcasting Rights

March 3, 2018 • Admin

This could be big. One of the big stories coming up for WWE over the rest of the year is where will their home be on Monday nights. WWE has been on the USA Network since 2005 in their current stint with both “Monday Night Raw” and “Smackdown Live” airing on the network. However, a new deal might be coming up that would change things in a very big way. Raw on USA certainly has its memories. [This post contains video, click to play] According to the Sporting News, Fox Sports is now making a push towards the WWE broadcasting rights. The plan would see “Monday Night Raw” broadcast on the Fox network while “Smackdown Live” would air on Fox Sports 1, a cable channel. Formal negotiations can begin in the spring and a decision is expected between May and September of this year. If Fox does acquire WWE programming, it would drop the UFC programming that it currently airs. WWE’s current deal with NBC Universal expires on September 30, 2019 so if the deal takes place, it won’t be kicking i..

March 3, 2018 • Admin

Impact Wrestling Date: March 1, 2018 Location: Impact Zone, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Josh Matthews, Sonjay Dutt It’s the week before the big Crossroads show and that means it’s time to build things up a bit. Next week’s main event will see Austin Aries defending the World Title against Johnny Impact in what could be an awesome match. Other than that though we’re likely in for more build towards Abyss vs. Kongo Kong, because that’s what we need to see. Let’s get to it. In case you need a recap, here are last week’s results. The opening video looks at Ethan Carter III and Tyrus reuniting and then splitting up in very short order. Opening sequence. Ethan Carter III vs. Tyrus Carter runs his mouth (as is his custom) and is promptly shoved out to the floor. Back in and Carter gets shoved outside again as Josh talks about all the other companies they’ll be visiting soon. Carter stalls a lot, including messing with a fan’s phone, before going back in to have his arm cranked. Ch..

Undertaker and Kane Reunite for Fundraiser (Photo)

March 3, 2018 • Admin

Keeping it in the family. Every wrestler needs something to do after they get out of the ring. Some go into acting, others go into real estate and some train the next generation. One however wants to enter politics and is running for Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. As luck would have it, he has an older brother to help him out. They’ve helped each other out before. [This post contains video, click to play] In a fundraiser for his mayoral campaign, Kane held an event in Tennessee on Thursday with a special appearance by the Undertaker. This is part of a series of events Kane is running, including a recent live podcast with Chris Jericho.

She’s one of a kind. Consider Charlotte. She’s a naturally talented wrestler, a physical specimen and nearly a prodigy inside the ring. Charlotte has gone from NXT to dominating the main roster in the span of less than three years and seems poised to have a major match at “Wrestlemania XXXIV”. But what’s going on inside her head?
