Double Problem: Former WWE Star Reveals How Sex And Pornography Addictions Damaged His Career
That’s a serious problem. There have been all kinds of wrestlers throughout WWE’s history and unfortunately several of them have left the company under less than ideal circumstances. Some of those instances are due to something taking place in a wrestler’s personal life, which is what seems to have happened to a former WWE star whose career fell apart as a result. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: OUCH: NXT Star Reveals Separated Shoulder, Out Of Action Former WWE star referee Brad Maddox appeared on Wrestling With Rip Rogers and revealed that his WWE career came to an end due to pornography and sex addictions. Maddox said that his addictions became mind consuming and his was not focusing on his work. He was released from the company in November 2015 after insulting the crowd during a dark match.

OUCH: NXT Star Reveals Separated Shoulder, Out Of Action
It could be a bit. There are all kinds of injuries in wrestling and unfortunately some of them are a lot worse than others. You never know when you are going to see someone get hurt and they can happen in the blink of an eye, even right in the middle of a match. That seems to be the case again and now it very well may be something that keeps a star on the shelf for the time being. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Plans To Return SmackDown Star To Previous Gimmick Last week on NXT, Gigi Dolin defeated Jacy Jayne in a grudge match after the two split up as Toxic Attraction. This week, Jayne appeared with her arm in a sling and revealed that she had suffered a separated shoulder early in the match. There is nothing to suggest that the injury is a storyline and there is no word on when Jayne will be medically cleared to return to the ring. Jayne is a star when she is around.

WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Plans To Return SmackDown Star To Previous Gimmick
He’s back? There are all kinds of ways to present talented wrestlers but not all of them are going to be hits. Occasionally you will see someone go from an idea that works very well to something that just misses and there is little way to predict what is going to happen. That was the case again recently in WWE, but now there is a chance of switching back to what worked before. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He’s A Fan: Undertaker Endorses His Choice To Defeat Roman Reigns In March 2022, former NXT star Pete Dunne made his full time debut on SmackDown as part of the Brawling Brutes. However, Dunne’s name had been changed to Butch, with his teammates saying that is how they had known him for years. Butch also was now a wild man who would run around the arena and try to fight any opponent he could, unlike his more calm demeanor before the name change. According to WrestleVotes via GiveMeSport, Triple H is planning to return Butch to his former name by the end of the year at the latest. Butch ha..

WATCH: Tag Team Splits On NXT In Mid-Match Betrayal
They’re done. Tag teams have a strange history in WWE as they often feel like they are put together for the sake of being split up. This can cause some rather abrupt endings for teams, as they seemingly go from happy to split in a matter of days. Something similar has happened again in NXT as a team that only started having troubles a few weeks ago have now split up. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: BREAKING: WWE Announces Newest Inductee Into Hall Of Fame Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley split up this week on NXT when Paxley turned on Nile during a match. The two were involved in a #1 contenders triple threat match when Paxley refused to accept Nile’s tag and then attacked her. This comes after a few weeks of taunting from Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre, who have been saying that the two are not a real team. The two had been regularly teaming together since August 2022.

BREAKING: WWE Announces Newest Inductee Into Hall Of Fame
He’s a big one. While there are all kinds of accomplishments and milestones to be achieved in WWE, there are very few that stand the test of time. Almost any title that is won is eventually going to be lost, which creates a problem for remembering some wrestlers more than others. There is one honor that sticks around forever though and now another star is receiving the special recognition. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: No More: WWE Star Confirms Departure From Company This week on the Bump, Ric Flair announced that the Great Muta will be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame as part of the Class of 2023. Muta never wrestled in WWE but did have multiple stints in WCW over the years. He wrestled his retirement match earlier this year, with AEW’s Sting and Darby Allin joining him in his final match under the Great Muta persona. Muta is the second inductee, following Rey Mysterio.

New plan! We are less than three weeks away from WrestleMania 39, which will feature some of the biggest WWE matches of the year.

The Less The Merrier: WWE Reportedly Making A Change For This Year’s Hall Of Fame Class
Still works. We are coming up on WrestleMania weekend and that means it is time for a lot of things to start coming together. This includes the WrestleMania card of course, but also several other pieces that are only starting to be announced. One such thing is the WWE Hall Of Fame, with this year’s class only starting to come together. Now we might have a better idea as to why. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Of Course: 60 Year Old WWE Legend Inducts Himself Into Hall Of Fame, Accuses Miz Of Theft Last week on SmackDown, Rey Mysterio was announced as the first inductee into the WWE Hall Of Fame Class of 2023. While WWE is planning to announce at least one more inductee later this week, this is slower than the company’s usual pace for announcing inductions. According to Fightful Select, the current plan is to have this year’s class be “way smaller” than in previous years. There is no word on how many names will be included in the induction ceremony, which is set for March 31. There is one big..

Of Course: 60 Year Old WWE Legend Inducts Himself Into Hall Of Fame, Accuses Miz Of Theft
It’s part of his thing. There are certain wrestlers who become popular with the fans for one reason or another, but in some cases their popularity rises after they hang up their boots. It can be rather interesting to see what a wrestler comes up once their career is over. This is certainly true with a former WWE star, who now thinks that his gimmick has been stolen by someone who came along later.

He thanked his favorite opponents in the business, including names such as Andre the Giant, Randy Savage and Bret Hart, along with the “million dollar dandy El Dandy”.
