That could cost them. Wrestlers are larger than life characters who try their best to make you believe that everything they are doing is real. That can make for some difficult situations as sometimes they are so over the top that no one would believe what they are seeing. The great ones can make it work, though now it would be nice to have someone’s character be their real life persona.
The office of Mississippi State Auditor Shad White has announced, by way of NBC 29 (Charlottesville, Virginia) that the state is attempting to recover $77 million in misspent Temporary Assistance For Needy Families funding. This includes money given to the DiBiase family, who was implicated in the scandal in 2020. DiBiase’s family has been ordered to repay millions of dollars to the state, including the following specifics:
• Brett Dibiase: $225,950
• Heart of David Ministries, controlled by Ted Dibiase, Sr.: $722,299
• Ted Dibiase, Jr.: $3.903 million
These situations are civil, meaning that no on..

One more time? Every so often, you see a wrestler who catches the fans’ attention through pure charisma. They might not have the strongest in-ring abilities but they have something that makes them stand out and get the audience in their corner. Unfortunately it might not always be the most successful, but now such a star might be getting another chance to show what he can do.
During this week’s edition of MLW Fusion ALPHA, company executive Cesar Duran mentioned that the company was in discussions with nZo, formerly known as Enzo Amore. NZo did not appear on the show and there is no word on when he could appear. Following his departure from WWE in 2018, nZo has wrestled around the independent circuit, primarily in New England Wrestling.
There is a lot here. Check out the full show plus who might be coming to MLW:

That’s quite the bold statement. There are a lot of wrestlers on the WWE roster today and as a result, there are only so many ways to stand out. Unfortunately that means a lot of talented wrestlers are left trying to get some attention, which can be rather frustrating for the fans. It can also be frustrating for the wrestlers and one of them has something to say about his situation.
Monday Night Raw’s Mustafa Ali was a guest on this week’s edition of the Bump and spoke about his career in WWE. This included a discussion of the hacker gimmick, which Ali felt had some legs, as well as a suggestion that it could return someday. Ali also said that he was the most unheard voice in the history of WWE as well as the most underutilized talent the company has ever seen. He also asked where his justice was and said all he needed was an opportunity. Ali is scheduled to face Mansoor at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia later this month.
There’s a lot to this. Check out the full show (with Ali’s time b..

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?

It’s a big show this time around with the Undertaker defending the World Title against Batista inside a cage. That alone should be enough to carry the show and….well that’s about what it’s going to do as that’s the only major thing set for the show. Unless you count spoilers that is, as WWE has already said what happens this time. Let’s get to it.
The opening video looks at Undertaker v..

I was thinking about what to put together this week and went over the usual suspects. As you probably can guess, this meant going through the dumb things that WWE was doing at the moment and complaining about it a lot. This time around, that mainly meant how lame the King of the Ring and Queen’s Crown tournaments have been, but the more I thought about that, the less I wanted to think about those things. Instead, we’re going to look at some positive things, which means we’re getting away from the main roster as fast as we can.
Unless you haven’t been paying attention to WWE for a very long time, you probably know that Monday Night Raw and SmackDown are ok at their best and there is very little worth seeing about either show (that isn’t named Roman Reigns or a few other things here and there). There is good wrestling out there, but you just need to look at other promotions, or in one case, another country.
Wrestling is going rather well at the moment and there are multiple promotions ..

Stick around for a bit. Despite the success that it has had, AEW has not been around all that long. We are still more than six months away from AEW’s first ever event, meaning that they do not have the deepest history to date. AEW has come a long way, but they have a much longer way to go. Now we know someone who is going to be around for the next stretch.
During an interview with PWInsider.com, former AEW Tag Team Champion Scorpio Sky revealed that he has signed a new five year contract with AEW, which was signed around the September 5 All Out pay per view. It is not clear how much time Sky had on his contract before he signed the new deal. Sky is currently part of the Men of the Year with Ethan Page and is feuding with the Inner Circle.
Sky has done well so far in AEW. Check out some of his time there:

He got their attention. NXT is in a strange place at the moment as there are all kinds of wrestlers who have been coming and going from the show. Everything is being changed with moves being made on an almost weekly basis. That can make for some interesting moments as you don’t know what you are going to see. This week saw another change and it happened for a good reason.
The main event of this week’s NXT saw Isaiah Scott successfully defend his North American Title against Santos Escobar. After the match was over, Carmelo Hayes cashed in his Breakout Tournament contract to win the title in an impromptu match. According to Fightful Select, Hayes has impressed some of the higher ups in NXT, including Shawn Michaels. Following his match with Kushida, Hayes was seen as a project for Michaels, as Michaels sees a lot of himself in Hayes. The title win was designed to turn Hayes into a bigger star while also protecting Scott, who is leaving for SmackDown.

I’m starting to like this show a bit more than I ever thought I would, as they have gotten into a bit more of a rhythm. You can almost bet on a women’s match, a cruiserweight match and an NXT midcard match. That’s not a bad way to go and the fact that it is done in about half an hour makes it even better. Let’s get to it.
Amari Miller vs. Sarray Miller grabs a wristlock to start but Sarray spins her over into one of her own. Sarray pulls it to the mat for a cross armbreaker but Miller fights up. A heck of a clothesline drops Sarray for two and we hit the chinlock. Back up and Miller scores with a spinning kick to the face for two, setting up an STO for the same. Sarray has had it with this though and comes back with the running dropkick against the ropes for the pin at 4:43.
Result: Sarray b. Amari Miller – Running dropkick (4:43)

I’m not sure what to expect from this show these days and that can be rather interesting. It’s never clear what you’re going to get and thankfully Ring of Honor knows how to give you the best out of everything they offer. If that can be the case again this week, we should be in for another fun show. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Violence Unlimited issues an open challenge for tonight. Danhausen comes in, realizes he’s in the wrong place, and leaves.
We get a preview, minus Quinn McKay.
Taylor Rust/Alex Zayne vs. Briscoes Rust and Zayne talk about being ready to step up against the Briscoes as Zayne is on his way to the World Title. The Briscoes tell them to bring it and be made famous. Rust and Mark start things off with the latter not being able to get very far off of a leg dive attempt. A headlock takeover works better for Mark but Zayne is right..

That’s one way to go. There are stars in the wrestling world and then there is the Rock, who has long since been one of the biggest stars in the history of wrestling and one of the biggest stars in all of entertainment. That is going to get him a lot of attention, with some of it coming from fellow wrestlers. We saw that again this week, and it was done in the form of a rap.
Earlier this month, the Rock took part in his first rap song with Face Off, which went all the way to #1 on the iTunes rap charts. AEW’s Max Caster, who is also a rapper, took offense to this and has responded to the Rock. In a new interview with TMZ Sports, Caster freestyled a rap on the Rock, including challenging him to come to Dynamite and have a match. Rock has not responded to Caster.
This got interesting in a hurry. Check out Rock’s rap, Caster’s response, and how a wrestling battle rap works:

I’d say he went the extra mile. There are a lot of wrestlers in the world today and only a handful of them really get to stand out. Some of them are willing to do whatever it takes to make their company look good and it shows quite a bit. You do not get to see that kind of dedication very often, and now one of the most well known for it is showcasing himself outside of the ring as well.
The Miz is a contestant on this season of Dancing With The Stars, partnering with professional dancer Witney Carson. The fourth week of the competition was Disney Week, featuring the dancers in Disney inspired costumes. Miz painted himself blue as the Genie from Aladdin while performing Friend Like Me. Miz is still active in the competition through four weeks and is one of the final eleven participants out of fifteen.
He does this rather well. Check out Miz’s dance, plus a bit of him in his more natural job:
