That’s some high praise. The introduction of AEW into the wrestling world has changed quite a few things, as now a new batch of wrestlers with their own style has been brought into the landscape.

That is some high praise. There are several different factors that go into making a wrestler feel like a big star. While in-ring abilities and presentation are important, there are other things that can help a lot, including the proper nickname. Almost every big time wrestler has had one over the years and now one of the most prominent of all time sees it in use for another star. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Missing Out Of Action: Update On WWE Status Of 39 Year Old Former Champion During an appearance on WWE’s After The Bell podcast, Edge said that he saw Seth Rollins as the “Rated-R Superstar of now”, playing off of Edge’s moniker of the Rated R Superstar.

Edge and Rollins feuded in 2021, including facing off inside Hell In A Cell. He might be onto something. Check out the two of them on their own and facing off: [This post cont..
That could be an issue. There are a variety of different aspects that come together to present a wrestler in the right way. This includes the wrestler’s look, character and in some ways, nicknames. Finding the right moniker can be quite the trick but if it done right, it can bring about a lot of good. WWE is trying out a new nickname for one of its stars, but there might be a snag. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Another One: Update On Gable Steveson, Possible Major Delay To WWE Career In recent weeks, WWE has begin referring to Liv Morgan as “the Queen Of Extreme” as Morgan has been using more hardcore and weapons based offenses.

That’s a weird hill to fight on. There are all kinds of wins and accomplishments in WWE, with some of the company’s championships being among the most known in the wrestling world. It can mean a lot for a wrestler to win one of those titles, but now we are hearing about a situation where one wrestler refused to be seen with his title and even paid thousands of dollars to avoid having to do so. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Ouch: Update On Injured WWE Star, How Long He Will Be Out Of Action Ric Flair won the Intercontinental Title at Unforgiven 2005 and went on to hold it for about five months.

It’s a change. There are all kinds of ways to present a wrestler and some of them work better than others. A slight tweak in how a wrestler comes off can change everything about them, either for good or bad. Occasionally a wrestler with a serious background might want to shake things up a bit and now an established veteran is going to be trying to do just that for himself.

So that’s it? Retirement is a tricky thing in wrestling, as so many wrestlers will come back for one more match after they have decided to hang up their boots. It can be so easy to come back and wrestle one more time, whether it makes sense or not. All kinds of wrestlers will announce that their careers are over, and now another legend has said that he won’t be wrestling again.

It happens. With so many wrestlers around the AEW locker room there are bound to be two of them who do not get along for one reason or another.

It was a last second situation. The Royal Rumble is one of the most unique WWE events of the year and will feature more wrestlers than any other show of the year.

That’s a different one. There are all kinds of injuries in wrestling and some of them are not so common. You might see someone get hurt in a way that you have not heard before, or at least not heard of in a very long time.

This past week on Raw, WWE presented its 3oth Anniversary show, also known as ‘Raw XXX’.

On the latest “To Be The Man” podcast, Flair talked about his experiences at ‘Raw XXX’: On being back at a WWE show: “It was phenomenal. I gotta tell you, I learned more about myself and more about what I’ve missed in the business and what I hadn’t missed in one day because I haven’t been here for a long time.
