Smackdown Date: February 24, 2023 Location: Ford Center, Evansville, Indiana Commentators: Michael Cole, Wade Barrett It’s a crossover night as we have some guest stars from Monday Night Raw. Not only is Rhea Ripley here to confront Charlotte, but Dominik Mysterio is here to meet his dad Rey. In addition, Rey is going to be facing Karrion Kross again, because just beating Kross isn’t enough. Let’s get to it.

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 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? The Main Event #1 Date: February 5, 1988 Location: Market Square Arena, Indianapolis, Indiana Commentators: Vince McMahon, Jesse Ventura Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant II. I’m not sure what else there is to say here because that’s all that could possibly matter with this show. This is the long awaited rematch from WrestleMania 3, which featured a bit of a controversial moment where Hogan may not have gotten his shoulder up in time. There is some other stuff around here but do you really think it matters? Let’s get to..
They have a plan. WWE is an international wrestling promotion and that means they need to try and find a way to expand into as may new markets as possible. There are various places around the world that have long since been strongholds in WWE, but the company can always find new people to watch. Now they have their eyes on a new location, including a possible major live event. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They’re On Deck: Several More Details On NXT’s Participation In The Royal Rumble WWE CEO Nick Khan addressed the company running a future live event in India during WWE’s 4th quarter financial earnings call. Khan said that WWE is waiting for a merger between Zee and Sony India to be completed before the company runs an event in the country. While Khan did not give a specific date, he did say that the hope would be in April. WWE had planned a major event in India for January but it was held off, reportedly due to the looming merger. WWE has been to India before. Check out some of their ti..
He has someone in mind. Now that we are over two years into Roman Reigns’ Universal Title reign, it is becoming more and more difficult to find a realistic challenger for his championship. Reigns has run through so many people that he is going to have to face people again. Now we might be seeing another top WWE star getting ready to come after the title one more time. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Ouch: New Detail On Tommaso Ciampa’s Hip Injury And Surgery Two time WWE Champion Drew McIntyre appeared on the Namaste Drew show during a recent trip to India.

The new rules. There are all kinds of rules to a wrestling match and all of them come together to make sure everything stays fair. Those rules are pretty easy to figure out and understand and it is notable when one of them is changed. Other parts of wrestling have rules of their own and now one of the more important seems to have been changed as well in a big way. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Back Later: More On Postponed WWE Live Event In India According to Dave Meltzer on The Board at F4WOnline.com, WWE has changed its Wellness Policy by dropping the rule that a wrestler is automatically fired for a third violation. This comes as multiple key stars have two strikes and the company has AEW to deal with these days. In addition, there was a chance that a star with two strikes could intentionally get a third to get out of their contract. There have been some big stars fired in WWE. Check out some of the more prominent ones: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains vi..
They had a reason for that. WWE is the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world and also gets to present several international shows. Some of these are in locations that do not get top level professional wrestling most of the time, but now one of the largest markets in the world is not likely getting WWE either. Now we know a bit more about what is going on. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Next Up? Former NXT Champions Working Upcoming WWE Live Events Last week, a previously rumored WWE live event in India scheduled for January 18 was postponed for reasons that were not known at the time.

Sony Six is scheduled to merge with another company called Zee and wants the show to take place after the merger takes place. There is no word on when the show will be taking place. WWE has done some things related to India before. Check out WWE’s efforts to get a fo..
Unpack your bags? WWE is the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world. As a result, the company presents events around the world, with some of them taking place in areas where major wrestling shows rarely take place. This can make for some interesting moments, but now one of the shows is not going to happen as previously planned. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: One More Ride? Update On The Shield Reuniting In WWE Anytime Soon A few weeks ago, a report surfaced that WWE was planning to run a live event in India on January 18, featuring stars from the SmackDown brand. However, according to a new report from WrestleVotes, the event will not be taking place and has been postponed. There is no word on why the event, which was never officially announced by WWE, will not be taking place as scheduled. I’m told the proposed WWE Live Event in India scheduled for 1/18 has been postponed for unspecified reasons. — WrestleVotes (@WrestleVotes) December 22, 2022 WWE has been to India b..
Tribute To The Troops 2022 Date: December 17, 2022 Location: Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, Indiana Commentators: Michael Cole, John Bradshaw Layfield It’s time for another of the annual holiday specials, though in this case this was tacked on after a TV taping over a month ago. These shows are basically short form house shows with a healthy dose of “WE LOVE THE TROOPS” thrown in. There are almost no expectations for one of them as a result so let’s get to it. We get the presentation of the colors and Star Spangled Banner, led by someone who sang it at the 2009 Tribute To The Troops. The opening video looks at the history of Tribute To The Troops, featuring several clips from the original shows and not so many from the recent editions. Braun Strowman vs. LA Knight Strowman throws him around to start but misses a charge into the corner. Knight goes after the knee but Strowman shrugs it off. The Monsterbomb finishes Knight at 2:05. Result: Braun Strowman b. LA Knight – Monster..
Rampage Date: December 2, 2022 Location: Indiana Farmer’s Coliseum, Indianapolis, Indiana Commentators: Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, Excalibur We are eight days away from Final Battle and the card is in need of some work. There are a few matches set but nowhere near enough to carry a full pay per view. Maybe we can get something new added tonight, but you never can tell with this show. At least the wrestling tends to be fun so let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Darby Allin vs. Cole Karter Before the match, Allin beats up Nick Comoroto with the baseball bat to cut him off. With that not being enough, Allin dives onto Karter on the floor but an apron powerbomb cuts him off. Back in and a buckle bomb rocks Allin again as we take a break. We come back with Karter missing a Stinger’s Splash but hitting a jumping knee to the face. Allin goes after the knee though and grabs a Code Red for two, leaving them both down. Karter drops him again and goes up, only to miss a 450. A hammerlock Scorpio..
Dynamite Date: November 30, 2022 Location: Indiana Farmers Coliseum, Indianapolis, Indiana Commentators: Excalibur, Taz, Tony Schiavone We’ll wrap up the month here as MJF should be here for the first time as World Champion. That alone should be a heck of a moment, but we also need to get more of the build towards Final Battle out of the way. There isn’t much set for the show but that should change this week. Let’s get to it. Here is Jon Moxley to get things going. He talks about working to get here and what a wild ride it has been. There are three constants in life: death, taxes and Jon Moxley. No one can out work him, out fight him, out wrestle him or anything else. There is not one man who has the guts to come out here and tell him any different….and here is the returning Hangman Page. Moxley asks if Page wants to do this after what happened, if he can remember it. Page comes up swinging and the fight is on, with referees and security needing multiple attempts to break it up. Bry..
That could be bad. Injuries are one of the few universal problems that a wrestler can suffer as you never know when someone is going to be hurt during the course of a match. An injury could be major or minor, but there are also some that can cause problems for a long time to come. We might have seen one of the latter this weekend at Survivor Series during the show’s main event. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Planning Major International Show In India The main event of this weekend’s Survivor Series saw the Bloodline face Team McIntyre in a WarGames match. At one point during the match, Jey Uso seemed unable to set up a table and, according to Bodyslam.net, could be overheard telling his teammates that his hand was broken. Uso would favor his hand throughout the match. Various fans on Twitter have said that they heard Uso say the same thing. There is no word on whether Uso will need to miss any ring time as a result of a possible injury. I can’t be the only one that hea..

He’s a workhorse. WWE has quite a few stars on its roster and it can be rather difficult to keep track of everyone. It also takes a lot to stand out above the others, but you know someone special in the company when you see them. That can make for some impressive moments and it seems that another WWE star has gotten the company’s attention in a positive way. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: One More?
