It’s something new. When Roddy Piper tried to get into acting, he was told that he was just a wrestler. When Piper was wrestling, he was told he was just acting. While wrestling is built around athleticism, there is also a lot of performing included. Some wrestlers have been able to turn that into an acting career, and now another wrestler seems to be trying to do the same.
According to Fightful Select, Windham Rotunda, formerly known as Bray Wyatt, has been taking inquiries about opportunities in Hollywood for various projects. Rotunda was recently seen on the Warner Brothers property in Burbank, California with Jason Baker, who designed Wyatt’s lamp in WWE. There is no word on where Rotunda will wrestle next, following his release from WWE in July.

I can’t say I saw that one coming. There are all kinds of people in the wrestling industry but most of them have one thing in common: they all need to find something to do once they get out of the wrestling industry. Some of them manage to do something while they are still involved with wrestling, and that seems to be the case again. This time though, it is quite the odd combination.
During the latest edition of his Grilling JR podcast, AEW broadcaster Jim Ross revealed that he is opening a cannabis farm in Oklahoma. Ross is going into business with his daughter, son-in-law and another man, with Ross having purchased the land for the farm. The other three will be handling the day to day operations of the farm, which will be called “Black Hat Farms”.
That’s another thing to add to his list. Check out some of Ross’ greatest moments:

Opinion: Sure why not…

History has been made! Championships are one of the most important parts of wrestling as they are about as easy of a concept as you can get. Someone has a championship and someone else wants it, setting up a title match between the two. You can go in a bunch of a directions from there, and that was the case again this week as a championship changed hands.
Noam Dar defeated Tyler Bate to win the Heritage Cup during this week’s edition of NXT UK. Dar won the match by a score of 2-1 when Trent Seven accidentally threw the towel in to cost Bate the Cup. Dar received the shot after winning an eight man #1 contenders tournament held over the last several weeks and ends Bate’s reign at 160 days. This is Dar’s first title reign in WWE.
It’s a big win for Dar. Check out how the match went and some of Dar’s other work:

It could have been different. There are a lot of ways to present a wrestling show and television changes as much as anything else. With so many wrestlers and stories that need to get onto the show, it can be easier said than done at times. On occasion, it can be even more difficult than it seems, and it turns out that this week saw a last minute change to a major show.
The main event of this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite saw the Dark Order defeat the Super Elite in a match where both teams wore Halloween costumes. The Super Elite wore matching Ghostbusters costumes, but this was not the original plan. According to Fightful Select, the original plans called for the Super Elite to be dressed as characters from the Netflix series Squid Game. However, WarnerMedia and TNT said no, as they did not understand how much of a parody the Squid Game costumes would be. There is no heat between the two sides over the change.
It was an interesting match. Check out the costumes, plus what the teams..

There is never a good way to put this. Wrestlers are larger than life figures but they are real people when the cameras go off. That means they are going to have things that take place in their lives that are not the best situations in the world, and unfortunately it seems that we are seeing another such problem. This time though, it could be about as serious as it can get.
WWE Hall of Famer and wrestling legend Hacksaw Jim Duggan has revealed that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. In the video announcement, Duggan says that he is undergoing emergency surgery on Friday October 29. This comes in the same month that Duggan had another emergency surgery for an undisclosed issue. Duggan has previously beaten kidney cancer in the 1990s.
Duggan is quite the legend. Check out his announcement, plus some happier times:

They don’t seem happy. With so many wrestlers on the WWE roster, you are going to have some instances of wrestlers not having things go as the company would plan. At some point, someone is going to have some issues and that was certainly the case last week. Now it seems that something that happened backstage is causing some changes to WWE’s plans.
Last week, Becky Lynch and Charlotte had a backstage altercation over Charlotte dropping the Raw Women’s Title during a segment between the two on SmackDown. After the incident, reports began to come out saying that Charlotte was not in the best standing backstage. According to Sean Ross Sapp, Charlotte was scheduled to do media appearances for WWE this week, but those appearances have since been canceled. It is not confirmed that the incident directly led to the changes.
Charlotte doing media this week should be fun

They have a future. The biggest wrestling story of the week was what seemed to be the near destruction of Ring of Honor, which has gone from one of the more important promotions to apparently almost nothing, as most of their roster has been released. The company has announced plans to return in April, but it was not clear what they would be doing. Now we know a bit more about what to expect.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the plan for Ring of Honor’s return will be to use whatever independent wrestlers they can find for their shows. These wrestlers would not be under contract, meaning that there would be nothing stopping other promotions from signing them, which could change storylines and title situations. This basically makes the promotion an independent wrestling company again, though Sinclair has not canceled their television show.
The company had some glory days. Check out some of their better moments:

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?
Tuesday Night Titans
Date: November 13, 1984
Location: Video One Studios, Owings Mills, Maryland
Hosts: Vince McMahon, Lord Alfred Hayes
Another request here, partially so I can say I’ve done an episode of this show. This is a bit of a different show as it’s mainly a talk show with wrestling guests. There would be matches included, though this isn’t exactly the best time period from a quality standpoint. I’m not entirely sure what to expect here but that’s the kind of show Tuesday Night Titans was. Let’s get to it..

Plans change. You never know what kind of surprises you might see in wrestling and that can be both good and bad. Sometimes something will catch you off guard and can change what you think you will be seeing next. However, it might also seem like something happens that derails entire plans. That seemed to be the case this week, but it might not be as confusing as it seems.
The main event of this week’s NXT Halloween Havoc saw Tommaso Ciampa successfully defeat Bron Breakker to retain the NXT Title. Prior to the match, the WrestleVotes Twitter account had said that the match would be the start of the Breakker era in NXT. Following the loss, another WrestleVotes tweet said that the loss is part of Breakker’s rise to the top of NXT. While there was a discussion about Breakker winning the title, the decision was ultimately made to have Ciampa retain. There is no word on when Breakker will win the title.
Source states that tonight’s Halloween Havoc looks to be the launching of the Bron Br..

This is one for the books. NXT 2.0 has been quite the game changer for the NXT brand and some would argue that it has not been the best move. This is a completely different NXT after so many years of success under the old format. There are certain people who are associated with the old NXT and it turns out that some of them are influencing the modern version to this day.
In recent weeks, former NXT Tag Team Champions MSK have been inexplicably booed during all of their appearances. The team has not undergone a heel turn or anything close to it, leaving little explanation for the reaction. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the reason stems from the parents of Bayley superfan Izzy, who regularly appeared during shows when Bayley was part of NXT.
In 2018, MSK’s Nash Carter sent out a tweet criticizing the decision to allow Izzy, then thirteen years old, to take a chokeslam at an independent event. As a result, Izzy’s parents have convinced the current NXT fans to boo Carter anytime..

Stretch it out. We are coming up on the end of 2021 and that means it is time to start getting ready for the new year. That is the case in the wrestling world as well, as we are almost on the Road to WrestleMania. As a result, it is time to start making plans for the biggest night of the year, but it turns out that we might be seeing something different going forward.
Earlier this week, WWE announced some official details on next year’s WrestleMania 38, including that the show will take place over two nights instead of one. This will be the third straight year that WrestleMania will be a two night event. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, this will likely be the case with every WrestleMania going forward, including WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles in 2023.
WrestleMania has done well as a two night event. Check out what happens when the show is split up:
