WATCH: The Miz Explains His Plans To Lose The Intercontinental Title To The Ultimate Warrior

March 2, 2023

That would have been different. There are several titles under the WWE banner these days and some of them are among the most important championships in wrestling history. Some of those former champions are quite the legends of the company and it means a lot for them to show up every so often. Now a current WWE star is revealing a plan he had to honor one of those former champions. In a recent post on TikTok, Miz talked about a plan he had to drop the Intercontinental Title to the Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania. While he held the title, Miz wanted to defeat all former Intercontinental Champions at WrestleMania in a gauntlet lumberjack match. The Warrior would enter as a surprise final entrant and defeat Miz to win the title in short order. Miz said he tried to make this happen but could never pull it off. Warrior was a two time Intercontinental Champion, having held the title twice from 1988-90. This could have been different. Check out Miz’s announcement, plus the two champions fig..

Reassigned: High Profile Name No Longer Part Of WWE Creative

August 1, 2022

Fare thee well. WWE has a lot of people working together to make their events work. That is the kind of thing that is easier said than done, and it can be difficult to find the right mixture of names. This includes putting together all of the stories that you see the matches built around, but it seems that a fairly high profile member of the team has been gone for quite some time. According to PWInsider.com, Dana Warrior left the WWE creative team several months ago, ending a run that started in early 2019. Warrior, the widow of Hall of Famer the Ultimate Warrior, had mainly been working from home and was not on the road with WWE. She will continue to work full time with the community relations and community outreach teams, meaning there is nothing to suggest there is heat between the two sides. Opinion: Warrior’s name hadn’t come up much in recent months so this isn’t the biggest shock. While she may have seemed like a weird hire for the creative team, there is nothing to suggest th..

July 9, 2022

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over twelve years now and have reviewed over 6,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between.

Former WWE Star Ahmed Johnson Talks Who He Would Want To Face Today

May 19, 2022

There’s a name out of the past. There have been a lot of wrestlers throughout WWE’s history and several of them seem to go away without much of a peep. It can be interesting to think about what someone would do if they had stuck around in the industry and wonder where they would fit in today. Now a star of the past is talking about what he would like to do today. Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Ahmed Johnson was a guest on the Iron-On Wrestling podcast and mentioned that he would like to face Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley of today’s roster. In addition, Johnson said that he had wanted to face Sid Vicious or the Ultimate Warrior of the roster from his career. Johnson appeared for WWE from 1995-1998 before leaving the company after a series of injuries. Opinion: I was a huge fan of Johnson back in the day and it would indeed have been fun to see him face one of those powerhouses. Johnson was one of the more impressive stars of his day and it seemed like he was ready to become the..

In this match, both the Intercontinental and WWF Championships were on the line. You can see the match in its entirety below: From our own Thomas Hall: They lock up to start and both guys are shoved into the corner. We get the iconic test of strength with Hogan going down first, only to fight back up and take Warrior down. They trade slams but it’s Warrior getting the better of it and clotheslining Hogan to the floor. Hulk comes up holding his knee and says he’s blown it out. He gets back in and Warrior kicks away at the knee but Hulk stops selling it about ten seconds later and it’s never mentioned again. Hulk comes back with right hands and a clothesline in the corner as the fans are losing their minds over every single move. Off to a front facelock on Warrior (Jesse: “Ask Richard Belzer!” Belze..

Backstage Speculation On Hiroki Sumi’s Addition To The Greatest Royal Rumble Match

May 1, 2018

The Wrestling Observer Radio has provided some insight into why former sumo wrestler Hiroki Sumi was added to the Greatest Royal Rumble match. Sumi was a surprise entrant in the 50-man Royal Rumble match in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Sumi famously wrestled as Hishofuji over his twelve-year career. In the Rumble, Sumi entered at #7 before being eliminated quickly, following a staredown with Mark Henry. Dave Meltzer noted on the Wrestling Observer Radio that the price in Saudi Arabia was the one who wanted to bring the company to Saudi Arabia. The prince himself reportedly spoke with Vince McMahon to organize the show. A number of wrestlers were reportedly discussed by the prince. He wanted some of his favorites in The Undertaker, The Ultimate Warrior and Yokozuna to perform at the show. The prince was uninformed, not knowing that the latter two Superstars have sadly passed away years ago. So what does this have to do with Sumi? While at this time it is unconfirmed, Meltzer highly believes..
