Ouch: Wrestling Legend Slams SmackDown Star, Would Fire All But Two WWE Women
That would be extreme. Wrestling today is nothing close to what it was twenty years ago. The industry has completely changed with several aspects being nothing close to what it was before. This includes women’s wrestling, which has gone from little more than a side show to one of the focal points of WWE’s product. However, one wrestling legend has a certain thought process on modern WWE women’s wrestling and it’s rather different. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: She’s Missed: Backstage Reaction To Mandy Rose’s Surprise WWE Release During a recent edition of the Smack Talk podcast, wrestling legend Dutch Mantel criticized Tegan Nox’s return to WWE, saying she was unsure of herself. Mantel did say that the issue could have been attributed to ring rust but was not impressed with Nox’s armdrags. He also said that he would fire everyone in the division, save for Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler, only to hire them back five minutes later, just to show that he could. Nox didn’t seem to impress Mante..

Where It Hurts: Vince McMahon Allegedly Paid Manager Only $100 For WrestleMania
That’s not a good way to go. Wrestling is a unique business to say the least, as there are certain things that are done in the industry that would make no sense elsewhere. This ranges from how the workers are presented to how they are always on the move, the latter of which can get expensive. That can turn into a bigger problem if you annoy your boss, and that is what someone did to the biggest boss in wrestling. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Yes Chance: Important Update On Vince McMahon Documentary During his YouTube show, former WWE personality Dutch Mantell revealed that James Dundee, formerly known as JC Ice during his time in WWE, was paid $100 for WrestleMania 13. Dundee had angered McMahon in some way and was paid $100 for getting involved in the Chicago Street Fight at WrestleMania 13. Mantell said this was far lower than the normal amount managers were paid for just walking to the ring at this point. In addition, Mantell said Dundee did not complain about the pay as McMahon was lo..

John Laurinaitis Threatened To Fire A WWE Trainer Over Wearing Sweatpants
It’s a corporate thing. WWE is a rather large company and the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. They have their headquarters at Titan Towers in Stamford, Connecticut, which is run like any othe corporate office would be. This can make for some slightly strange issues though and now a former WWE star is explaining how serious things got for him at one point. During an appearance on Story Time With Dutch Mantell, former WWE coach Tom Prichard told a story about wearing workout gear to WWE headquarters. Prichard said that he felt it was appropriate since he was an in-ring coach. However, former WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis said that he needed Prichard to dress more professionally. Knowing that Laurinaitis would be out of the office the following Monday, Prichard showed up in his workout clothes again. Laurinaitis even called in to check on what Prichard was wearing and threatened to fire him for not dressing appropriately, resulting in Prichard changing. Opinion..

WWE Interested In Former World Champion, Ring Of Honor Stars Backstage (Contains Mild SPOILERS)
They caught some attention. There are a lot of talented wrestling stars in the world today and several of them don’t work for WWE or AEW. A lot of those stars are free agents who can be signed to any company. It can be a game changer to bring them in and that might be what WWE is getting ready to do, as they have interest in at least one freshly free agent star. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is interested in bringing in former Ring Of Honor World Champion Matt Taven, who has reportedly finished up with Impact Wrestling. In addition, former Impact Wrestling and Ring Of Honor stars Vincent and Dutch were reportedly backstage this week at Monday Night Raw. There is nothing to suggest that WWE has signed any of them or officially offered them a deal. Opinion: That is quite the turn of events and I could go for seeing it happen. Taven is someone who seems to have all of the talent he could hope for and having him in WWE would be great to see. Dutch and Vincent could be great ..

Wrestling Legend Rips Charlotte vs. Toni Storm Feud
Not everyone is a fan. There are so many stories taking place in WWE at any given time that it could be difficult to keep track of them. Some of the stories are more interesting than others, and that can create a few problems. Ultimately, with so many things going on at once, you are going to find something that is not as good as the others. That seems to be the case again, this time with a wrestling legend. During a recent appearance on the Smack Talk podcast, former WWE star Dutch Mantel talked about the current SmackDown feud between Charlotte and Toni Storm. Mantel’s problem comes from the fact that the feud is built around hitting each other with pies, as it killed the chemistry that the feud had. He does not believe that the feud can be revived, despite Storm earning a title shot during their match on SmackDown. It is an interesting show.

Ring Of Honor Final Battle 2021 Results
Final Battle 2021 Date: December 11, 2021 Location: UMBC Events Center, Baltimore, Maryland Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman It’s the end of an era and quite possibly the end of a company, or at least the end of the company as we know it to be. Ring of Honor is going into hiatus after this show for about four months, leaving a pretty big cloud over their future. I’m not sure what that is going to mean, but hopefully they can have a great show on their way out. Let’s get to it. Pre-Show: Six Man Tag Team Titles: Righteous vs. Shane Taylor Promotions Promotions (Moses/Kaun/O’Shay Edwar.ds, with Ron Hunt) are defending, with Dutch and Moses fighting over wrist control to start. Moses gets flipped into the corner, so he knocks Dutch outside in a hurry. Everything breaks down in a hurry and the three way brawl is on until it’s Vincent suplexing Kaun. That doesn’t work for Kaun, who is back up with a running elbow to the face. Moses comes back in and gets caught with a Side Ef..

Ring Of Honor TV Results – June 30, 2021
Ring of Honor Date: June 30, 2021 Location: UMBC Event Center, Baltimore, Maryland Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman We are rapidly approaching Best In The World and a lot of the card has either already been made or is pretty obvious. That is not a bad thing either, but we also have to set up the rest of the Survival of the Fittest tournament. In other words, you can feel things getting interesting around here again and that is a very nice thing. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Quinn McKay welcomes us to the show and runs down the card, which will be headlined by the Survival of the Fittest finals. Here’s how all six of the finalists qualified. But first, this. Matt Taven vs. Dutch Dutch has Vita Von Starr and Bateman with him. Taven goes straight at the monster to start and gets shoved down without much effort. Some heavy forearms to the chest have Taven in trouble but Dutch’s powerslam is broken up. A dropkick has no effect on Dutch, who runs Taven over to send us..

Reeves: “The Common People Are Fine Working Nine-To-Five Jobs”
NXT Superstar Kona Reeves was interviewed by Byron Saxton on WWE.com, where he discussed his time with NXT and his future with the company. What is the motivation behind the nickname “NXT’s Finest”: I insist that I’m “NXT’s Finest” because I know I am the finest in every aspect. People call themselves the “greatest” or “the best” all the time. That’s okay because they are all alike. I am different than all those basic people. I have the finest hair, finest skin complexion, finest taste in music and finest ethnic background! My life is the finest it has ever been, and it’s only the beginning! How does Reeves maintain the “Finest” status: I go to the finest hair salon in Orlando, Fla., thanks to Mandy Rose. I have my coats and boots custom-made, and I only eat the finest organic foods. It’s not easy to live the finest lifestyle, but if you work hard, you get to play hard. He discusses his heritage: My mother is Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino and Spanish. My father is Dutch and Indonesian,..

NXT "Fades To Black" As Aleister Black Has Become The New NXT Champion
"The Devil" is finally off of his back. His journey to the NXT Championship has been one that has had many of pit tops. But tonight at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans Aleister Black has removed the devil off of his back that he says has been there for quite some time now. His quest for success would not come easy as he had to not only get through the battle-tested and hungry NXT Champion Andrade "Cien" Almas, but also deal with Andrade's manger Zelina Vega.

Reby Hardy Continues to Blast Jeff Jarrett — He’s Burning Through Karen’s Alimony Money

I dont know.”</em></p><p>Hardy responded to these remarks with a series of tweets on Twitter. Here is what she wrote:</p><p><em>“If they were going to, they would have LONG BEFORE I ever said anything again. My recent speaking out was after the last straw for us… after <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/weeks/" title="weeks">weeks</a></strong> of staying quiet, as per our verbal agreement that was made once Billy & our lawyers reached out to them on our behalf… Apparently they couldn’t hold up their end of it, with Jeff, Ed & Dutch continuing to give interviews & lie to anyone would who listen… For what ? EGO; that’s what this is all about. TNA gains NOTHING they didn’t already have by putting us through this mess… attempting to prevent us from making money ? Trying to shut down an entire ROH PPV ? Yeah, we haven’t forgotten about that… but they want you to, as they gloat of ‘building bridges’ to detract from the fact that they can no longer fund their own programming… Lets keep it real; Jeff Jarrett burns bridges like he burns through Kurt <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/angle/" title="Angle">Angle</a></strong>’s alimony money. They were never going to cooperate… regardless of how many chances we gave them to do things amicably/the right way. And there were MANY… Jarrett himself said they were going to ‘drag it out as long as possible’ because ‘they’ll get tired of spending money’… Easy for a failing company & someone whose lifestyle is supported by his wife’s ex husband to say. You weak AF, little man… The ONLY thing we’re tired of are the blatant lies & we will NEVER back down. Even tho we’ve ALREADY WON. #NoCredEd #f***ThatOwl”</em></p>
