Ring Of Honor Final Battle 2022 Results

December 11, 2022

Final Battle 2022 Date: December 10, 2022 Location: College Park Center, Arlington, Texas Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman It’s the third or so Ring Of Honor event of the year, assuming you don’t count a good chunk of the Rampages from earlier this year. The main event of the show is (probably) Chris Jericho defending the Ring Of Honor World Title against Claudio Castagnoli, with a bonus feature of FTR vs. the Briscoes in a dog collar match for FTR’s Tag Team Titles. Let’s get to it. Zero Hour: Mascara Dorada vs. Jeff Cobb Dorada (better known as Gran Metalik) gets nowhere off a shoulder so a springboard flip is enough to put Cobb on the floor. The dive is pulled out of the air though and Cobb posts him hard to take over. Back in and Cobb stands on his back for a surfing pose, followed by a heck of a shot to the face for two. Cobb misses a charge into the corner though and Dorada sends him outside again, this time for the big flip dive. Back in again and a rope walk sent..

You Might Be Seeing Some Released WWE Names Again Soon

February 2, 2022

See you soon. Over the last year and a half, WWE has released a ton of wrestlers from the company. That is the kind of change that you do not see happen very often in wrestling and unfortunately it cost a lot of people their jobs. While it certainly changes how WWE works, it also changes how other promotions work as well. Now, some of those promotions are able to pick up more than a few new wrestlers as a result. On November 2, 2021, WWE released several wrestlers from their contracts. These wrestlers were on 90 day no compete clauses, which have now expired as of February 2. Therefore, the following names are now free agents and can sign wherever they like, appearing immediately: Keith Lee Karrion Kross Mia Yim Ember Moon Davey Boy Smith Jr. Oney Lorcan Gran Metalik Lince Dorado Eva Marie Nia Jax There is no word on where these wrestlers will appear. Several NXT wrestlers were released on the same day, but their 30 day no compete clauses expired in December. Opinion: This is the k..

January 28, 2022

Welcome back? There have been some huge batches of releases from WWE over the last year and a half with the roster looking almost nothing like it did before.

Former WWE star Gran Metalik, also known as Mascara Dorado, has posted a video to Twitter, showing him finding his old mask in a bad.

These WWE Wrestlers Requested To Be Released

November 10, 2021

They got what they wanted. Last week, WWE continued its streak of releasing wrestlers from the company. This is something that they have done on and off for over the last year and a half, with eighteen more wrestlers being let go in the span of about an hour last week. As has been the case before though, not all of the releases were the same, and some of them were different than the others. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, at least Zayda Ramier, Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik all requested their releases from the company. However, WWE did not immediately grant them, but rather waited for the rest of the group of releases to officially let them go. None of the three were being used by WWE, with Ramier only wrestling five matches during her time in the company and neither Metalik nor Dorado wrestling since September. They are some talented people. Check out the three of them in the ring: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] [This..

BREAKING: WWE Releases 18 More Wrestlers

November 5, 2021

Here we go again. One of the biggest wrestling stories over the last year and a half has been the rapid fire releases from WWE. The company has released dozens and dozens of wrestlers in that time and it has become a scary time for wrestlers wondering about their future. We are at it again this week, as all kinds of wrestlers have been released from the company. According to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, WWE has released another 18 wrestlers.

Update On Monday Night Raw Star Wanting WWE Release

September 23, 2021

It’s a different world. The last year and a half have seen wrestlers leaving WWE like we have not seen in a very long time. Some of these wrestlers have been let go against their will but some of them have left because they want to. That seems to be what another wrestler wants to do at the moment, and WWE does not seem to be opposed to agreeing to the idea. Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Monday Night Raw’s Gran Metalik wanted out of his WWE contract. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is likely to grant his release request. The idea now is that there is no need to keep every wrestler available under contract, meaning Metalik’s request is more likely. Had this taken place just a few years ago, Metalik would have been left to finish out his contract, which expires in 2023. Metalik certainly as some skill.

WWE RUMOR: Monday Night Raw Star Requests Release

September 22, 2021

So long again? WWE has been undergoing a lot of changes over the course of the year and a lot of that has been due to moves being made on the roster. This has included a lot of wrestlers leaving the promotion for one reason or another, some of which have not been voluntary. This time around though, another wrestler may be on their way out and by his own choice. According to MasLucha.com, Monday Night Raw star Gran Metalik has requested his release from WWE over not having enough opportunities or a clear path on the roster. Metalik’s current deal expires in 2023 and he has been with WWE since 2016, losing in the finals of the Cruiserweight Classic. Metalik has spent the majority of his WWE career as a tag team wrestler, mainly as part of Lucha House Party. You might have forgotten about him.

Main Event Date: June 17, 2021 Location: Yuengling Center, Tampa, Florida Commentators: Byron Saxton, Kevin Patrick We’re coming up on the Cell and that means things are likely going to be focusing on the pay per view. As is becoming the norm around here, you can’t really guess what you might be seeing and that is a welcome change after the years of monotony. Maybe we might even get something interesting this week. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Mace/T-Bar vs. Lucha House Party Mace throws Gran Metalik down to start as commentary points out the difference in size. Lince Dorado comes in with a middle rope hurricanrana and a double dropkick puts Mace in the corner. T-Bar isn’t having that and pulls Dorado to the floor for a clothesline. Back in and Dorado manages a faceplant on Mace but T-Bar takes out Metalik to avoid a hot tag. The alternating stomping ensues in the corner but Dorado manages to slip away and make the hot tag to Metalik. Everything breaks down and it’s Feast Your..

Get Well Soon: Monday Night Raw Star Out With Injury

June 8, 2021

Get well soon. There are always going to be injuries in wrestling. No matter how much time and practice a wrestlers might put in during their career, there is no way to guarantee their complete health and safety. As is the case with any other sport, different injuries are going to keep a wrestler out of action for different amounts of time and now it seems to have happened again. This week’s edition of Monday Night Raw opened with a tag team battle royal, featuring four regular teams. A fifth was scheduled for the match but the Lucha House Party did not participate. Instead, Lince Dorado wrestled alone for the team, as it was announced that Gran Metalik was injured. There is no word on how Metalik got hurt or how long he will be out of action. Metalik’s most recent match took place on the May 31 Monday Night Raw. Metalik was missed.

Monday Night Raw Date: June 7, 2021 Location: Yuengling Center, Tampa, Florida Commentators: Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton We’re less than two weeks away from Hell In A Cell and that means it is time to start finishing up the build. This includes a contract signing between Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre, which is a trope we haven’t seen in at least a few weeks. Other than that, Shayna Baszler continues her issues with an evil doll. Let’s get to it.

Former US Champion Makes SmackDown Return After Long Absence

August 15, 2020

I remember you. One of the scariest things a wrestler has to go through in wrestling is an injury. You never know when one is coming but at the same time, you never know how bad one is going to be. Someone could be out of action anywhere from no time at all to permanently and the waiting can feel like a lifetime. On the other hand though, there is a great feeling when someone returns from injury, which was the case this week on SmackDown. There are a lot of talented wrestlers on the WWE roster and that can create a problem if someone has to leave. With so many other people out there to take a spot at a moment’s notice, it can be difficult to work your way back into a spot. This can often be the case with an injury, but hopefully someone who returned from a long time off can manage to get their spot back. Kalisto made his return to WWE television this week on SmackDown, interfering in a match between Shinsuke Nakamura and Gran Metalik. This marked Kalisto’s first appearance since a De..

205 Live Date: December 12, 2018 Location: T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada Commentators: Vic Joseph, Nigel McGuinness, Percy Watson We’re in an interesting place here as we have a Cruiserweight Title match set for Sunday, and that means we need something to fill in the gap before then. There’s a good chance that we’ll get a hard sell for the title match so whatever else we get could be rather interesting. Let’s get to it. Drake Maverick introduces the show and explains tonight’s matches: Buddy Murphy and Cedric Alexander will be facing wrestlers Maverick has chosen. Murphy will face Gran Metalik while Alexander will face Tony Nese. Buddy Murphy vs. Gran Metalik Non-title. Kalisto and Lince Dorado are here, complete with pinatas. Murphy takes him straight down by the arm without much effort and gets reversed even faster. A few pulls of the mask keep Metalik down but he nips back up and scares Murphy into the corner.

An Injured Superstar Returned To Action Before Raw Last Night

May 2, 2018

Before Raw last night in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, a former WWE Cruiserweight Champion returned to action, partaking in a tag team match. The Brian Kendrick has been out of action for the past few months since receiving an injury from Hideo Itami via a botched GTS. This led to Jack Gallager being forced to go it alone. Gallagher would obviously go on to be part of the Cruiserweight Championship tournament and have mild success before being eliminated. Kendrick has appeared on 205 Live in recent weeks backstage but did not come out to compete. This changed on Raw. He predictably teamed with Gallager in a losing effort against Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik.
