Royal Rumble 2023 Date: January 28, 2023 Location: Alamodome, San Antonio, Texas Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Pat McAfee It’s time to get on the Road To Wrestlemania and that means we should be in for a big night.

Hardy (a musician) talks about the opportunity and how you kick down a door in front of you. Pat McAfee is back to join commentary and Graves is livid.

Main Event Results – June 24, 2021

Main Event Date: June 24, 2021 Location: Yuengling Center, Tampa, Florida Commentators: Kevin Patrick, Byron Saxton It’s back to the land of random as this show continues to be all over the place. You never know what you’re going to see around here and I can’t believe I’m saying this after watching this show for so many years. I’m not sure what to expect this week and I like that feeling. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Bronson Reed vs. Drew Gulak Non-title. Gulak can’t do much with the huge Reed to start as he gets thrown down a few times. Reed lifts him up for a piledriver and then throws him down instead. There’s a rather heavy headlock to set up a knockdown into a backsplash as it’s all Reed so far. Gulak’s trip to the floor lets him snap Reed’s arm across the top but an Irish whip doesn’t work. Another shot to the arm works a bit better but Reed calmly gorilla presses him. Gulak jawbreaks his way to freedom and starts in on the arm again, only to have Reed crush him. A supl..

Update On Becky Lynch And Seth Rollins’ Relationship

It’s another kind of casualty for Lynch and Rollins. The spread of the Coronavirus has changed a lot of things about the world, including almost everything in the wrestling world. It is the kind of thing that the company could not have seen coming, just like almost everyone else in the world. This includes personal relationships, and one such wrestling relationship has had something changed as a result. One of the less popular WWE storylines from 2019 was the on-screen relationship between Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Universal Champion Seth Rollins. The real life couple was paired together on WWE television and went on to main event Extreme Rules 2019. Fans were not thrilled with the way the couple was presented and the relationship has not been mentioned on WWE television in a long time. They are still together behind the scenes and became engaged in August 2019, but something has changed, at least for the moment. Lynch recently spoke to Extra.ie (Irish website) to discuss ..

New Champion Crowned At 2018 Hell In A Cell

The era of the Lass Kicker has begun. Tonight at the 2018 edition of Hell In A Cell, Becky Lynch defeated Charlotte Flair to become the new Smackdown Live Women’s Champion. This is her second run with the championship. You can see a backstage interview after she won the title below: [This post contains video, click to play] From WWE.com: No matter how much of a fight Charlotte put up, however, she could only punch back so hard with one working arm. Becky’s steady dismantling of Charlotte’s left arm left her ripe for a Dis-arm-her, which Lynch finally locked in near the edge of the ring and held up to the limit of the five-count after Charlotte rolled under the ropes. Using what parts of her body were available, Charlotte built up a full head of steam and went for a spear, but The Irish Lass Kicker reversed it seamlessly into a DDT, rolled over and covered The Queen for the pin. Editor’s Opinion: I’m glad that Becky is finally getting her moment and opportunity to be on top of t..

Hulk Hogan Reveals His Three Biggest Moments While In WWE

Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan was a guest on CBS Philly’s Howard Eskin Show, where he discussed what the three biggest moments of his career have been. Hogan first explained how he developed the character he made famous in WWE: “I had no idea [Hulkamania] was going to happen. When I got into the [pro] wrestling business, I loved the business. I was a fan, number one. But I just wanted to get into the business and be good enough, earn a good living, and be very supportive of the artform of [pro] wrestling. Now, I’d guess you’d call it sports entertainment. But the thing that was really crazy was I’ve always had a good heart, I’ve always been a good person, and I just was trying to find a character that would be that ultimate American, positive character. And, actually, Vince McMahon, Sr. helped me with the name, ‘Hulk Hogan’. I already had the name ‘Hulk’, but he gave me the ‘Hogan’ part to represent the Irish community. Yeah, I was looking for this All-American character that would be su..
