It worked before. When you break it down to its purest form, wrestling is not complicated. Ultimately, a match is usually won by holding someone down or making them submit in a hold. It is one of the most basic forms of athletics that you are going to find and it has been around for a very long time. There have been some high level people involved in it, and now WWE might be going after another one.
This week in Tokyo, Tamyra Mensah-Stock won a Gold Medal in the 68kg division in freestyle wrestling. Following her win, she was asked if she would ever consider signing with WWE, replying that she had always wanted to. WWE tweeted out a video of the response. There is no word on any possible negotiations between the two sides or if she is planning to continue amateur wrestling.
WWE has a history with Olympians, with the most famous example being Kurt Angle, a former Gold Medal winner in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Other Olympians have tried their hand in WWE, including Ronda Rou..

Welcome home? There are a lot of people on the WWE roster and it can be hard to find a place for all of them. The good thing is that WWE has enough rosters going at once to make things work out a little bit better. If someone is running out of things to do on one roster, they could move over or up to another roster and have a fresh start. There is a chance that is happening again.
According to PWInsider.com, former NXT UK Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray was seen at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. There is currently no word on if she will be appearing on regular NXT television in the near future. Ray won the NXT UK Women’s Title on August 31, 2019 and went on to hold it for a record 649 days, ultimately losing it on
June 10, 2021.
Ray could be a heck of an addition to the show. Check out what NXT might be getting:

They need someone new. Tournaments are an easy concept in wrestling as anyone can get what you are going for with them. You have a bunch of people in a bracket of some kind and whoever is the most successful or the last wrestler standing gets a prize. That could be just about anything, and now we know what WWE is going to put on the line in its next tournament.
This week on NXT UK, a new tournament was announced to crown a #1 contender for the Heritage Cup Title, currently held by Tyler Bate. The eight man tournament will begin next week with the initial first round match, though there is no word on when the finals will be held. The Heritage Cup uses a rounds based system with multiple falls or a knockout being needed to win a match. Here are the brackets:
Mark Andrews
Noam Dar
Kenny Williams
Oliver Carter
Wolfgang
Sam Gradwell
Teoman
Nathan Frazier
The Heritage Cup is rather cool. Check out what they’re fighting:

Add it to the list. We are less than three weeks away from Summerslam and WWE has some of the card figured out. The problem is that there is a lot more work to be done and the company has a long way to go. The good thing is that there are so many options on their main roster at the moment. Now some of those spots have been filled and titles will be on the line.
WWE has announced that Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio will challenge the Usos for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles at Summerslam. This will be the Mysterios’ first title defense after losing the titles to the Usos at Money In The Bank. The teams have continued feuding after the title change, including the Mysterios teaming with John Cena to face Roman Reigns and the Usos in live event main events.
It took some time to get here. Check out the path they took:

Cody Rhodes’ Possible Retirement: What It Means For AEW
Cody Rhodes shocked the pro wrestling world on the August 4 edition of AEW Dynamite when he teased a possible retirement from the ring. The tease came after Rhodes lost his main event match against the debuting Malakai Black. Black recently signed with the company after spending nearly five years with WWE, where he performed as Aleister Black.
Black won the match against Cody in convincing fashion, establishing himself as a top player in AEW. After the pinfall, Rhodes took the mic and made a short tearful speech, after which he began to remove his boots. But before he could complete the act, Black reentered the ring and attacked him from behind. So what does all of this mean for AEW?

The Founder & The Face As the co-founder of All Elite Wrestling, Cody has been doing his part as the face of the brand since the company’s beginning in 2019. He’s been a top star and regularly featured as..

We have some sad news to report today as “The Assassin” Joey Hamilton has passed away at the age of 82.
From WWE.com:
Following in the footsteps of his brother Larry “The Missouri Mauler,” Hamilton transitioned from amateur boxing and broke into the world of wrestling in the 1950s. By 1958, The Hamilton Brothers had risen up the ranks of the New York based Capitol Wrestling and battled Antonino Rocca and Miguel Pérez in the main event at Madison Square Garden. Just 19 years old at the time, Jody became the youngest grappler to ever co-main event at The World’s Most Famous Arena.
Hamilton would go on to team with Tom Renesto to form the masked duo The Assassins and drew sellout crowds throughout the southeastern United States. The tandem became a force in Georgia Championship Wrestling and held the NWA Georgia Tag Team Titles a record-breaking 12 times.
After Renesto’s retirement, Hamilton would carry on the torch of The Assassins with Ernie Ladd and then “Hercules” Hernandez and cl..

We have some sad news to report this morning as professional wrestling legend “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton has passed away at the age of 62. The news was confirmed by his sister, Debbie Lewis, via Facebook.
From WrestlingInc.com:
Eaton was hospitalized in late July after suffering a bad fall. He reportedly broke several fingers and damaged his hip during the fall. It’s unknown if his passing is related to the earlier accident.
Eaton was best known for his work as one half of The Midnight Express. Under the management of Jim Cornette, he originally teamed with Dennis Condrey and, later on, with Stan Lane. A pioneer in the art of tag team wrestling, he also tagged with the likes of Arn Anderson, Koko B. Ware, Steve Keirn, and William Regal.
Eaton wrestled for extended periods of time for various promotions such as Mid-America Wrestling, Continental Wrestling Association, Mid-South Wrestling, WCCW, Jim Crockett Promotions, WCW, and Smoky Mountain Wrestling. He also made brief guest appeara..

Looks like he’s next. Titles are what ultimately matter the most in wrestling more often than not. It is a rather simple idea and something that any wrestling fan can understand. Someone has a big shiny belt and someone else wants it. This is the kind of thing that can set up a huge match in a hurry, which is what we are seeing again in what could be quite the showdown.
This week on AEW Dynamite, Christian Cage was named the new #1 ranked contender after defeating the Blade. Cage mentioned that he was in AEW to win titles and promised to be at next week’s AEW Rampage to see World Champion Kenny Omega. Earlier in the show, Omega said that he had no challenger for his title and that he was considering retiring as champion. There is no word on when the match will take place, assuming it does.
This could be a showdown. Check out the two of them on their own and together:

Did you catch him? There are several different kinds of wrestlers in the industry and some of them are going to have different stories. You have wrestlers who get into the industry because they are long time fans and others who just jump in because they are amazing athletes. There is another group on top of that though, and now we have seen one of them debut in a cameo.
Bronson Rechsteiner, the son of Rick Steiner, made his NXT debut during this week’s show in a cameo role as a security guard. Rechsteiner tried to hold back Samoa Joe from getting to Karrion Kross, only to get beaten up and choked out with the Koquina Clutch. Signing with NXT in February, Rechsteiner is a former NCAA All-American running back and the nephew of Scott Steiner. There is no word on when he will be wrestling his first match.
It’s a good family. Check out Rechsteiner’s debut and his more famous wrestling relatives:

It happens to everyone. While it might not seem like it at times, at some point, every wrestler is going to hang it up eventually. One day, every wrestler is going to step out of the ring for the last time, though some have a far longer career than others. That can make for some emotional roller coasters and we got another one of those this week with quite the head fake.
The main event of this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite saw Malakai Black defeat Cody Rhodes in less than five minutes. After the match was over, Rhodes spoke about his career and suggested that it might be time for someone new to step in. He took his boot off, a sigh of retiring from wrestling, and was attacked by Black to end the show. There is no word on whether Rhodes is planning on retiring or if this is just an angle. Rhodes is expected to go off to film the Go Big Show for TBS in the coming weeks.
Rhodes has had a heck of a time in AEW. Check out what he has done there:

Get the envelopes ready. At some point or another, every wrestling fan has debated their favorites with someone. It might be a match a move, a theme song, a show or something else. That’s how wrestling fandom works and there is nothing wrong with it whatsoever. It is a rite of passage for wrestling fans and now WWE is getting involved with the concept in something of an official way.
During this week’s edition of the Bump, WWE presented its semi-annual Bumpy Awards. The awards honor the best of the first six months of the year, including various wrestling and online awards. There were also special awards such as Best Referee, Best Dressed and WrestleMania Rain Delay MVPs. One of the awards went to Tyler Breeze, who is no longer part of WWE. Here are the winners:
* Tag Team of the Half-Year: Rey & Dominik Mysterio
* Rivalry of the Half-Year: Kyle O’Reilly and Adam Cole
* Moment of the Half-Year: Bad Bunny & Damian Priest vs. The Miz & John Morrison
* Match of the Half-Year: Bianca Bel..

Dynamite
Date: August 4, 2021
Location: Daily’s Place, Jacksonville, Florida
Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Jim Ross, Excalibur
We’re back in Jacksonville for Homecoming as we have the fifth week in a row with some kind of a special themed show. That could include a lot of different things, including Chris Jericho vs. Juventud Guerrera of all people? Why? Well he wrestled in WCW in the 90s so he’s fair game. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Juventud Guerrera vs. Chris Jericho MJF is on commentary and Jericho has to hit a move off the top to win. The once again masked Juvy chops away to start and grabs a headscissors to send Jericho outside. Air Juvy takes Jericho down again and but he slips out of the Juvy Driver back inside. Jericho takes him outside and chops away, followed by a high crossbody for two back inside. Jericho forearms him down but runs into a superkick (MJF: “I taught him that.”). A low kick to the face sets up the Rings of Saturn to Jericho, who powers up with ease…
