Indian Pro Wrestling Base

New Japan Pro Wrestling is widely regarded as the No.3 promotion in the industry today. Of course for many fans around the world, NJPW is at the top and no other pro wrestling company even comes close.
Indeed, diehard NJPW fans in the United States are in total agreement. For them, the “war” between WWE and AEW is overrated and companies like Impact Wrestling are just trying to keep up. But for those who are just now discovering New Japan, much of their positive exposure to the product is coming from NJPW Strong.

Strong Style Action Strong is the NJPW World show and airs new episodes every Friday. The series premiered in August of 2020 and since then, it’s become something of a gateway for newer fans. Those fans are getting just a taste of what New Japan brings to the table.
The fact is that the company is using Strong as a way to give more mainstream exposure to its roster. It’s a move that NJPW began planning several years ago and it ga..

I guess you can see him. On last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live, John Cena made an unexpected cameo in a sketch featuring host Kim Kardashian West. In the sketch ‘The Dream Guy”, Kardashian chooses from a number of eligible bachelors, including Cena, in a parody of The Bachelorette.
You can see the sketch in its entirety below:

Champions recognize champions. Tonight was the 3rd battle between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder for the undisputed WBC Heavyweight Championship of the world and needed a special introduction. WWE Champion Big E had that honor, as he provided the introductory video for both boxers.

It’s been a busy day for Big E, who was also featured this morning on Saturday’s FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff college football coverage for the Penn State vs. Iowa game.
Fury retained his championship against Wilder with a highlight-reel knockout in the 11th round on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to retain his WBC heavyweight title in one of the most action-packed title fights of all time.
Although Big E has been having some fun this weekend, he has a big challenge looming right around the corner:

It’s a new direction. WWE has been having a problem with maintaining its audience for a very long time now and there is nothing to suggest that it is going to get any better anytime soon. At some point the company needs to come up with a way to make things better, which could come from a few different sources. Now it seems that they have an idea of what they’re going to do.
According to Ringsidenews.com, WWE is attempting to build up its younger audience, in particular the 18-49 demographic. As a result, Vince McMahon is pushing for more swearing well as more revealing outfits for the female wrestlers. This has been the case on both Monday Night Raw and NXT, but it has not yet taken place on SmackDown, as FOX has a higher set of standards and practices.
WWE has had its share of more adult content over the years. Check out some of its more famous era:

He’s kind of perfect for the job. There are a lot of wrestlers on the WWE roster today and some of them are going to be presented differently than others. Some of them are bigger stars and that means they are going to be out front for WWE, often appearing outside of the company’s programming to represent the company. That was the case this weekend in a special way.
WWE Champion Big E. was a guest on this Saturday’s FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff college football coverage. Big E. was on the show to hype up the Penn State vs. Iowa football game, as he played defensive lineman at Iowa before entering professional wrestling. During his appearance, Big E. made a special entrance, did his signature catchphrase about Iowa and made a prediction on the game.
This was pretty awesome. Check out Big E.’s appearance:

Impact Wrestling
Date: October 7, 2021
Location: Skyway Studios, Nashville, Tennessee
Commentators: Josh Matthews, D’Lo Brown
We are just over two weeks away from Bound For Glory and if you don’t know all of the card so far, you can probably guess what is coming on the show. There is still a lot of work to do though, including Eddie Edwards needing to deal with Moose. That could go in a few different directions so let’s get to it.
Opening recap.
Opening sequence.
Bullet Club vs. FinJuice/Chris Sabin It’s Chris Bey/Hikuleo/El Phantasmo for the Club. Bey takes Sabin into the corner to start but we actually get a clean break. They go back back and forth with neither actually getting anywhere so Phantasmo comes in to take Robinson down. A standing moonsault hits Robinson he’s back up with an atomic drop. The non-Club starts taking turns on Phantasmo’s arm. Robinson has to fight off everything at once but Bey finally knocks him down to take over. Hikuleo teases coming in but jumps down ..

It’s a complicated situation. There are a lot of moving parts in WWE as the company appears on multiple platforms on multiple television partners. Throw in the digital world as well and it can be complicated to keep track of everything. Now one of those partners isn’t pleased with what another has been doing and things are getting a little complicated from multiple sides.
According to Fightful Select, Major League Wrestling was interested in airing its content on FOX’s Tubi streaming service and had a deal in place to do so. However, WWE objected to Tubi airing the content due to SmackDown airing on FOX, meaning the deal is in question. MLW and Tubi’s deal was supposed to be announced in August but nothing was ever officially announced.
This isn’t great for MLW. Check out what you could have seen on Tubi:

Welcome to the team. WWE is a huge wrestling promotion and has all kinds of wrestlers on its roster. As a result, the company has to find a way to get them better every week and the best way they have found to do that is through the Performance Center. The world class facility offers all kinds of resources, including a great training staff. That staff has grown again this week.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has hired Allison Danger as a new coach at the Performance Center. Danger is a retired wrestler who spent the majority of her career on the independent circuit, including spending several years in Shimmer. She retired from the ring in 2013, due to complications from a stroke, which causes lesions in her brain. Danger’s brother Steve Corino is also a coach at the Performance Center.
You might not be familiar with a rather talented wrestler. Check out what Danger can do in the ring:

It’s a special moment. There are certain cities that matter more in the wrestling world. They have a special history to them and fans know just how much it means to the industry. As a result, you will often see wrestlers and promotions pay some special attention to them. That is what happened this week, as both a city and the company most closely associated with it received a tribute.
This week’s editions of AEW Dynamite and Rampage took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the former home of ECW. AEW has released a video from after this week’s wrestling tapings, featuring AEW President Tony Khan bringing out former ECW stars Taz, Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko and Jerry Lynn to speak about ECW. After Taz praised the fans and the promotion, CM Punk came to the ring to say he felt left out because he was the ECW Champion as well. Punk also praised the wrestlers and said that he thought it would be funny to pop in before leaving the rest to continue talking.
It was a special moment. Check..

There’s your other big one. Later this month, WWE is returning to Saudi Arabia for the first time in over a year and a half. The Saudi Arabia shows are some of the more controversial shows that WWE presents but the cards are certainly stacked. This show already has a huge card, but now things are getting even bigger, with the company’s top specialty match being added.
WWE has confirmed that Edge will face Seth Rollins in a Hell in a Cell match at Crown Jewel on October 21. The match was announced this week on SmackDown, as Rollins challenged Edge and allowed him to pick the stipulation. Edge picked Hell in a Cell to end the show but no date was announced. Edge has lost his only appearance inside the Cell while Rollins is 1-1-1 in three matches.
There is a lot to this one. Check out how the match was made, plus a look at both of them inside the Cell:

Does that count as coming out of retirement? Wrestlers walk away from wrestling all the time, but it is pretty rare to see them actually stay gone. There is something about the industry that keeps wrestlers coming back that may not be the best thing. It is rare to see someone actually stay away, though one legend seems to be having some wrestling related fun in retirement.
A video has been posted to TikTok showing the Undertaker chopping a fan at some sort of a reception in Savannah, Georgia. It is not clear when the video was taken. The fan requests that Undertaker chop him and Undertaker eventually does so, following a chant of CHOP from the onlookers. The fan falls down from the chop but does not seem to be in any kind of pain. Undertaker last wrestled at WrestleMania 36 in 2020.
Undertaker has done some interesting things in his career. Check out the video plus some more of his funny moments:

He needed another career. There have been a lot of stars in wrestling history but there has not been anyone like the Rock. He went from a huge wrestling star to the biggest star in wrestling to the biggest star in Hollywood, which is beyond what anyone could have really expected from him. Rock has become an entertainment titan and now he is venturing into another area.
The Rock is featured in a new music video from Tech N9ne where he raps the final verse of the song. The song, called Face Off, also features Joey Cool and King Iso. This is Rock’s first ever recorded rap, though he did record a song called Pie for a WWF Music CD in 2001. There is no word on if Rock will be venturing further into music or if this is a one shot appearance.
Of course he’s doing something else. Cehck out the song, plus Rock’s other musical efforts:
