She’s Rowdy: Ronda Rousey Injured In Pre-SmackDown Brawl, Possible WrestleMania Implications

March 4, 2023

Ouch? With less than a month to go before WrestleMania 39, almost anything that happens on a WWE show is going to have some kind of ramifications on the upcoming big nights. Most of the stories have already been started but there is plenty of time for more things to happen on the way there. Another of those things might have happened this week and that could tie into a bigger story. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: What’s Next? Goldberg’s WWE Contract Is A Bit Strange At The Moment This week on SmackDown, a video showed Ronda Rousey being attacked earlier in the day by Tegan Nox and Natalya. As a result, Rousey’s arm was in a sling as she accompanied partner Shayna Baszler for her match against Nox later in the night. There is nothing to indicate that this is anything more than a storyline. This comes as the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has said there will be many more “twists and turns” before the Women’s Tag Team Title match at WrestleMania. While the match has yet to be announced, Baszler ..

WATCH: Clip From Attitude Era WWF Live Event Featuring All-Star Lineup

December 26, 2022

It’s famous for a reason. There have been several different eras throughout the history of wrestling and some of those times are better known than others. Some of them are easily identifiable by a single word, with one of the most famous of WWE’s history being “Attitude”. The period of the late 1990s to early 2000s is still talked about today, but now we can see something we probably haven’t before. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He’s Next: Former WWE Star Believes Goldberg “Has A Thumb On” Him WWE Hall Of Famer Kurt Angle has released a rare video from an Attitude Era WWE live event. The clip features Triple H, Chris Benoit, The Rock, Steve Austin, Rikishi and Angle in a six way test of strength before a fight breaks out. While Angle did not give a date for the show, according to Cagematch.de, the only time these six were together in a non-televised match was October 29, 2000 in Buffalo, New York. That’s rather cool.

He’s Next: Former WWE Star Believes Goldberg “Has A Thumb On” Him

December 26, 2022

He said no? There have been all kinds of stars throughout WWE’s history, some of which have become iconic names in the sport. It means a lot for a lower level star to work with them, but at the same time, there are instances of one of the bigger names slowing things down for a smaller name. Now one of the real parody stars is claiming that the real version did just that. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Dominik Mysterio Gets Arrested At Rey Mysterio’s Home In an interview with Cheap Heat Productions, former WWE star Gillberg claimed that people have told him that WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg “has a thumb” on him. As a result, Gillberg cannot have an action figure or a shirt or be included in a video game. Gillberg did make it clear that he was NOT 100% sure this was the case, but the people who had spoken to him believed it to be. Gillberg parodied Goldberg on and off in WWE for years before retiring in 2022. He had his moments. Check out Gillberg’s time in WWE: [This post contains vide..

HOW MUCH? Jim Ross Reveals Amazing Detail About Infamously Awful Match

December 23, 2022

That’s a lot. There have been so many matches throughout the history of WWE that standing out is a difficult task. While there are several matches that are great enough to stand above the rest, there are some matches that are much more infamous than famous. Now we know a rather important detail about a match that took place nearly nineteen years ago. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: LOOK: 61 Year Old WWE Hall Of Famer Undergoes Major Surgery Back at WrestleMania 20, Goldberg faced Brock Lesnar in a special showdown match.

Jim Ross discussed the match during a recent episode of his Grilling JR podcast, revealing that both of them were paid $250,000 for the match, which ran about 13 minutes. Goldberg and Lesnar would both return to WWE in later years, with Lesnar defeating Goldberg in a rematch at WrestleMania ..

A Tribute To Insult? Grayson Waller Takes Surprising Shot At Shawn Michaels After NXT

December 21, 2022

I guess he isn’t a fan. WWE has been undergoing a variety of changes in recent months and there is nothing to suggest that those changes are going to be ending anytime soon. While several of these changes have been taking place on the main roster, there have also been multiple changes in NXT. One of them does not seem to have set well with a top NXT star though and he let fans know about it this week. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Not Interested: Fans Sound Off On Speculation Of Eva Marie WWE Return (And They Aren’t Happy) The ending segment of this week’s NXT saw Grayson Waller call out NXT Champion Bron Breakker for a fight.

Following the show, Waller tweeted a photo of the ending, plus a photo of Bret Hart doing the same thing to Goldberg in 1999. Waller said “That was for all the flops backstage at NXT that kiss Shawn Michaels ass every single day”. Michael..

December 19, 2022

Not so fast? There have been all kinds of wrestling stars throughout the years but only a handful have reached the level of Goldberg. Armed with a spear and Jackhammer combination, Goldberg’s quick matches became one of the most popular attractions in WCW and built up his WWE career. While Goldberg only wrestles on occasion these days, he does have a future in wrestling, at least in theory. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: Edge Returning For Huge Match At WWE Royal Rumble Goldberg’s current WWE deal expires at the end of the year, though he has no remaining matches on his contract. While there have been rumors of Goldberg signing a new deal, according to Fightful Select, that would be “news to his reps that negotiate those kinds of deals”.

She would be a big deal. The rise of AEW has led to a variety of stars getting a fresh chance on a new show.

Gillberg Talks Possible Match With Goldberg: “I’ll Bust Him Up”

December 9, 2022

He’s not next. There are very few wrestlers in history who have made the kind of impact that Goldberg made at the start of his career. After a rather successful football career, Goldberg would go on to become a huge star in wrestling. Goldberg was best known for his undefeated streak where he beat all comers for over a year, but it turns out there was one name he refused to face during his career.

Gill recently appeared on the Cafe de Rene podcast and talked about his time as Gillberg.

AEW TNT Champion Wardlow: “I Have Girls Chained Up In My Bedroom”

October 29, 2022

Well that’s….unique. Wrestlers are best known for what they do in the ring but there is a completely different side to what they do. While the in-ring work is important, the ability to talk people into watching the show might be the most important thing of all. As a result, wrestlers are going to do a lot of talking a lot of the time and now a prominent star said something rather eye catching. AEW TNT Champion Wardlow appeared on Busted Open Radio this week and discussed how wrestlers are similar to horror movie and television series characters, in that they have characters, gimmicks and a theme song. In particular, Wardlow spoke about the Joe Goldberg character from the “You” TV series, saying he did not know why you would chain people up in your basement. Wardlow then said “I have girls chained up in my bedroom, but no one in my basement”. Wardlow successfully defended the TNT Title against Matt Taven this week on AEW Rampage.
