He has spoken. Malakai Black took to social media recently and issued a statement regarding his status with AEW, mental health issues, and more.

Firstly thank you all for your messages, know they are being read and appreciated. With all the turmoil going on in the landscape of Professional Wrestling I took the time to think of my words but also needed to wait until conversations between mine and AEW’s camp had come to a conclusion. Firstly, I dislike reading parts of my private conversations between myself and AEW in regards to my mental well being on the internet.

Hopefully he’s ok. There are a lot of wrestling shows in the world on any given day and some of them have quite the lineup. You might not see the top WWE or AEW stars on any given card, but some of the talent from other promotions will blow your mind. That seemed to be the case at a card this weekend, but now something seems to have happened to prevent a match from taking place. Game Changer Wrestling has announced that Bandido has no shown their Devil In A New Dress event in San Francisco, California.

Top WWE Name Inducted Into International Sports Hall Of Fame

October 11, 2021

That’s quite the honor. There are all kinds of prizes and championships to be won in wrestling but they are not the kind of things that last. While those titles may not last forever, there are very few honors in wrestling which last forever. Sometimes you see someone receive a special award and it can be rather impressive. That was the case again this weekend. Stephanie McMahon has been inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame. This makes McMahon the first female executive to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, which was established in 2012. McMahon’s ceremony took place on Sunday October 10 and also included Jay Cutler, Peter Westbrook, Billy Blanks, Marcus Allen, & Ernie Reyes Sr. as part of the class.

WWE And NXT Stars Slam Fans For Body Shaming Piper Niven

June 17, 2021

That is going to get them in some trouble. It can be rather interesting to see a new star debut on WWE television, even if they have been on another show before. That can make for some fun situations as you do not know how the new star is going to be received. However, that might not be the best thing in the world in some situations, which seems to be the case this time around. This week on Monday Night Raw, NXT UK’s Piper Niven made her debut, wrestling in Eva Marie’s place to defeat Naomi in less than a minute. Niven has wrestled for NXT UK since 2017, following an appearance in the Mae Young Classic. She was not given a name and commentary did not recognize her, but it seems that someone has some problems with Niven already. Since Niven’s debut, various fans have posted messages to Twitter, many of which have been critical of Niven’s size and weight. Various WWE and NXT stars have responded as well, criticizing fans for making such comments. Niven herself has responded as well, sa..

Former WWE Tag Team Denies Retirement Reports

June 10, 2021

Maybe? Retirements are a funny thing in wrestling as you never know when someone is going to hang it up for good. Sometimes it seems like something that needs to be done but sometimes fans are left wondering why a talented wrestler would decide to call it a career. This time though it does not seem to be over just yet for a pair of younger wrestlers who should have long careers ahead of them. According to Fightful Select, a promoter who inquired about Sunny Dhinsa and Gzim Selmani, formerly known as Akam and Rezar as the Authors of Pain, was told that the team had retired. They are now reportedly working regular jobs outside of the wrestling business. This comes after the pair was released from WWE in September and have not wrestled since March 2020. However, the two of them have both sent out Instagram messages, saying that they “Ain’t Done Yet”. There is no word on where or when the two will wrestle again.

NXT Did Something Pretty Weird At Takeover: 31

October 6, 2020

Call them warm bodies? A commentary team is one of the most important parts of any wrestling show. You need the right people calling the show to point the fans in the right direction and convey the messages and stories that the company is pushing. This is easier said than done and the wrong team can make things all the more complicated. That was kind of the case on Sunday, at least in person. NXT is in a strange place at the moment as their three person commentary booth is not only changing due to some new members, but those members are rarely always in the same place. Beth Phoenix has been doing commentary from her home in North Carolina due to Coronavirus scares and Wade Barrett has not been present for some of the recent shows. However, NXT had a solution on Sunday, though it was a completely bizarre one. According to the Local Competitor Twitter account, which identifies non-contracted wrestlers who appear as extras on wrestling shows, NXT used two stand-ins for Phoenix and Barre..

Backstage Heat On Velveteen Dream Over NXT Return

August 15, 2020

You had to know something like this was coming. The wrestling world is still dealing with the fallout from the SpeakingOut Movement, which shook up the industry in a big way. There were almost no companies without wrestlers being mentioned, with WWE certainly being included. One of the more prominent wrestlers has since returned to television, and it has not been going well. Earlier this week, the Velveteen Dream made his return to NXT in a surprise as the third entrant in a triple threat qualifying match for the Takeover: XXX North American Title ladder match. This was Dream’s first appearance since he was accused of sending sexual messages to underage people. While Dream was never charged with a crime, there was some rather convincing evidence against him. It was a big moment to have him come back, and fans are not pleased. According to Fightful Select, Dream’s return was not revealed to the NXT roster until the night of the television taping. There has been no mention of any punish..

Update On Recently Changed WrestleMania Title Match, Situation Clarified

March 31, 2020

That clears things up a little bit. With WrestleMania being such a mess on so many levels, there are going to be some mixed messages on the way to the show. That is going to cause some confusion and while we won’t know everything until this weekend, we can get an idea of what to expect. Sometimes that has to be adjusted though and that is the case with a pretty big match. There are a lot of things that have to be put onto a WrestleMania card and this year’s show is even more complicated than most. Since there are so many factors to deal with this time around, you have to get in a few important pieces. One of those pieces was set up on last week’s SmackDown, but things were forced to be changed due to injury. It turns out that they were changed to something else than what was previously reported. Last week, reports from Wrestling Observer Radio said that the SmackDown Tag Team Title match, originally booked as a triple threat ladder match, was changed into a singles match, possibly fo..

Enzo Amore Potentially Takes Dig At WWE For His Release

May 23, 2018

Enzo Amore was fired from WWE in January of this year due to being under investigation for rape allegations. Now that he has been cleared, he has returned to social media, potentially taking a dig at WWE for releasing him. When he was originally released from the company, it was noted that WWE made the decision after he refused to inform them about the investigation. When the investigation concluded, Amore’s attorney noted that the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion was not made aware of the claims until after it exploded onto social media. WWE usually wish their Superstars well in their future endeavors, but Amore was not one of those Superstars. This was likely due to the frustration that everything went public during Raw 25 and the severe nature of the claims by Amore’s accuser. Amore took to his Instagram account during a series of messages to reference the ‘future endeavors,’ explaining that it was the fans who cared about him and wished him luck in his future and trusted him wh..
