Seth Rollins just turned heel. And joined the AOP and they attacked Kevin Owens.

[Lebron23]

Seth's always been a great heel. Better than his baby face run.

Ryback said Disney wants to buy WWE.

[Lebron23]

I wish we see some new WWE Champion this year.

[Lebron23]

Kevin Owens is the mvp of the wwe now. Entertaining as a heel and face.

[Lebron23]

very excited for the royal rumble.

[Lebron23]

Brock is going to enter the royal rumble.

[Lebron23]

WWE needs to hire better writers. Even Vince Russo and Jim Cornette are better than the current writers.

[BurningHammer]

I still convince ISHers who are also pro wrestling fans to watch AEW Dynamite more. :cheers:

[BurningHammer]

Super Showdown card so far:
- Goldberg vs Bray Wyatt for Universal Belt
I hope Goldberg will lose in spectacular fashion to push the Fiend over in time for WrestleMania. Not sure if the Prince wants to see it though.

- Brock Lesnar vs Ricochet for WWE Belt
Brock will win. It is just that whether he will, or is allowed to, give Ricochet a good look in a losing effort.

- Roman Reigns vs Baron Corbin
AGAIN.

The rest doesn't really matter. In fact, the event doesn't really matter much itself. :ohwell:

[BurningHammer]

Wow, Jeff Cobb is now with AEW, joining Jericho's Inner Circle.

There have already been rumors about Luke Harper, Lance Archer, Brian Cage and even Matt Hardy, but for some reasons they get Cobb first.

BUddy Murphy should have just stayed in 205 Live

give him a US title shot at least

[BurningHammer]

BUddy Murphy should have just stayed in 205 Live

give him a US title shot at least

Nobody should stay at 205 Live. It only exists because WWE has too many wrestlers and many of them are too small to be dumped in the main shows right away. But not a lot of people actually watch it, even live crowds. I was at SDL taping after SummerSlam last year and saw with my own eyes how bad 205 Live has been. More than half of the crowd then left when SDL part was done and 205 Live was beginning.

But then again, even they get out of 205 Live it is more likely to be cast as jobbers ala Cedric Alexander and Tozawa. KENTA aka Hideo Itami got out entirely and has become a top star in NJPW quite quickly already. Sure, there are some lucky ones like Buddy and Humberto but getting those spots needs luck.

GCW had some creative and hilarioud match last night. (https://twitter.com/SirLARIATO/status/1241153928500252673)

Pro Wrestling NOAH main event last night. Shiozaki Go vs Fujita Kazuyuki.

They literally stood there, circling around and doing nothing for 30 minutes before they did something else.

Some cryptic suicidal messages including a picture of a bloody slit wrist were posted on a twitter channel of Stardom star Kimura Hana. They were later deleted.

She committed suicide.

[BurningHammer]

She committed suicide.

Just got the news. Gosh, this is so f*cked up. She was only 22 and had a bright future in front of her :( :( :(

Many suspects her pressure of being on Terrace House as the source. I know what kind of that show is. I don't really follow but I know how toxic the show and its fandom is.

There is a positive COVID-19 case in WWE Performance Center. :eek:

For some reasons, there are shit tons of sexual abuse accusations on pro wrestlers coming up at the same time. Matt Riddle, David Starr, Jimmy Havoc, Jack Gallagher, and even Vince Russo AND Jim Cornette!

Now Gallagher is the first one who got fired from the accusation. :ohwell:

Just to add an extra detail; Gallagher's name is now not even in the alumni section similar to Enzo. It looks like WWE has completely blackballed him.

[BurningHammer]

Now Joey Ryan has deleted his own twitter account Bar Wrestling account (his promotion) after been hit by accusations and pretty much nobody in the business backing him up.

[BurningHammer]

Will Ospreay's career outside of Japan may be done as well.

[BurningHammer]

Also, Sammy Guevara has now been suspended without pay by AEW from the backlash of his online allegation of him speaking very badly against Sasha Banks many years ago. Sammy has already apologized to Sasha after the allegation came out.

[BurningHammer]

Marty Scurll has now been in trouble from an allegation of soliciting sex from a drunken then-16-years-old girl many years ago.

Mike Quackenbush has also been #SpeakOut'ed of harboring racist, homophobic, & abusive culture In Chikara, his pro wrestling company. Many Chikara personnel has been resigned for this already.

[BurningHammer]

Jon Moxley and QT Marshall are quarantining themselves after both contacted with persons who have since tested positive for COVID-19. It seems they will be ready for next week's Fyter Fest though.

[BurningHammer]

Renee Young has COVID-19. Renee is said to be quick ill but she is doing fine now. Jon Moxley, her husband, tested negative though.

Renee likely contracted the virus form WWE PC.

Agent Adam Pearce and backstage interviewer Kayla Braxton also have the virus.

Just read that Marty got his d1ck sucked by a 16 years old. He was going to penetrate her, but her friend stopped him from doing it. Just read that 16 years old is the age of consent in the UK.

[BurningHammer]

Impact has finally cut tie with Tessa Blanchard and stripped her off Impact World Championship belt. The last string was her not sending an interview video package from Mexico for hyping up the upcoming PPV when Impact asked her to and they had to re-edited Impact Wrestling TV/Twitch show.

Tessa really has big attitude problems that even WWE seems to acknowledge and didn't sign her for developmental deal.

[BurningHammer]

Tomorrow, New Japan Pro Wrestling will host Dominion/New Japan Cup Final show at Osaka-Jo Hall in front of live "real fans" before any other major pro wrestling companies.

[BurningHammer]

Miro, aka Rusev, said on his live stream he tested positive for COVID-19. It seems to be among his close relatives as well as CJ's (WWE Lana) parents have been down with COVID-19 and are still in hospital care.

Get well soon.

[BurningHammer]

John Cena officially is a free agent now that his WWE contract has quietly expired.

He clearly is exploring TV and movie careers nowadays but WWE may try hard to re-sign him in a certain contract that fits his schedule ala The Rock. Other big companies like NJPW or AEW may also try as hard getting him.

Renee Young is leaving WWE, just after WWE announcing the return of Talking Smack, the show she was famous for.

She arguably is one of WWE greatest backstage personalities ever, maybe the 2nd right behind Mean Gene Okerlund.

What's next for her; moving up to pro sport network like ESPN, Fox Sports or such, or joining her husband Jon Moxley in AEW?

[BurningHammer]

AEW is starting to sell tickets for weekly Dynamite taping at Daily's Place again with obvious pandemic protocols for attendances such as temperate check and zoning. They will try with 10% of max capacity (~500) first and may expand to 15% if everything goes right.

Both AEW and WWE have been hit hard with COVID-19 last few weeks.

There are two confirmed positive cases so far on AEW; Lance Archer and Ben Carter. It affected last Wednesday's taping of Dynamite that many in-ring personnel were missing.

Another COVID outbreak has also hit NXT that they had to shut down WWE Performance Center again. Chelsea is so far the confirmed positive case.

No. That's Owen Hart or Chris Benoit.

Brodie's death looks similar to the passing of Chris Candido; having an injury, getting treated, then suddenly died because of blood clot. The "non-COVID lung issue" and being treated at Mayo Clinic sounds like he suffered from pulmonary edema.

I would put Flair, Hogan, Austin, Rock, Lesnar as GOAT tier above everyone else in term of draw powers and actual money they have drawn. (Flair and Hogan drew greatly for decades, Austin was at the peak of pro wrestling along with Rock. Rock has a shorter in-ring career but drew even better in acting career, Lesnar does for both pro wrestling and MMA)

But at the end, it is subjective. Guys like Taker, Shawn, Bret and Cena have their own cases as well.

The whole thing actually way more complicate than what did I just posted.

- Andrade, being frustrated with his situation in WWE, requested his release with WWE.
- WWE refused.
- Andrade stayed put, with some helps from Charlotte, his irl engaged girlfriend, and even Ric Flair.
- Charlotte gave WWE an ultimatum that she would quit if they didn't let Andrade go.
- WWE made a deal that they would let Andrade go if Charlotte opted out of this upcoming WrestleMania. Charlotte chose to opted out. Charlotte's picture in the WM poster was removed in response.
- WWE eventually let go today, without no-compete clauses.

Damn, now he can be La Sombra anywhere right away with this great deal after taking his strong stance, with great supports of course. Good luck for him in the near future. :applause:

Darby's body might not last any longer than folks like Mick Foley. I'm really appreciated his works but dude has to really be more careful. Make sure all stunts are well-planned and well-prepared, at least.

WWE's first night being back with a live crowd looks like a fun time. Money In A Bank PPV this Sunday should also be.

Feels like 90% of the talent I care about watching are on NXT or SD. Last night was a good show.

John Cena vs Roman Reigns.

John Cena vs Roman Reigns.

Also, Seth Rollins vs Edge and Charlotte vs probably returning Becky Lynch.

Goldberg could be involved as well. He should probably face Bobby Lashley if the rumor is true.

AEW will have its great show after too. All Out should be highlighted by Kenny Omega vs Hangman Page, which has been brewing for a long while.

I don't get why they squashed kofi to set up a goldberg return? Kofi deserved better. His last turn at the top of the card was squashed by lesnar.

Rumors about Punk returning on an in ring contract too

https://twitter.com/ringsidenews_/status/1417993163902488580

Rumors about Punk returning on an in ring contract too

According to pro wrestling report Sean Ross Sapp, the source of that rumor seems to be reliable.

That along with Tony Khan's "major announcement" next week should clear things up, maybe.

Punk rumors have always been false at the end so I'm not so sure about this one this time. Well, it's All Out in Chicago again, right?

It's tomorrow, but yeah. Gage, other than his massive notoriety among fans, hasn't been proven in a bigger stage like AEW yet.

This is obviously is Jericho's idea, with Moxley's approval of course. I know Gage can do decent actual pro wrestling match, but how can he balances what he has been excelled at and what he should do on live national television has yet to be seen.

Three references in tonight's Dynamite show pretty much confirming one thing:

- MJF's pretty reciting the opening line of the Pipe Bomb promo

Some people have already mentioned that this Five Labours of Jericho seems to be either a retirement tour or This Is Your Life thing.

- 1st Labour: Shawn Spears representing his root as a Canadian.
- 2nd Labour: Nick Gage representing his early days with indie wrestling promotions like FMW and ECW.
- 3nd Labour: Juventud Guerrera representing his WCW years.

So, you may expect the 4th and the 5th to be about WWE and NJPW respectively. Could be Lance Storm or anyone with history with WWE. Could be Suzuki Minoru, Naito or anyone in New Japan roster now that the AEW-NJPW alliance seems to be secured.

WWE needs to sign some new talents. And Keith Lee needs to stop jobbing.

WWE released Bray Wyatt

[Chick Stern]

Can we all agree that WWE is just slightly less gay than MMA?

[BurningHammer]

WWE released Bray Wyatt

WWE kept fumbling on pushing Windham Rotunda so badly.

Giving him the belt when he was the Eater of World, then quickly lost to Randy Orton in a very weird match.

Giving him the belt when he was the Fiend, then quickly lost to Goldberg in another very weird squash-like match.

Almost all of Bray's big matches in major events are losses. And, yes, win-loss in pro wrestling matters unlike some people say.

Not sure if Vince is trying to unload higher-paid stars to overload AEW and maybe bankrupt it? :confusedshrug:

[BurningHammer]

Ric Flair is now officially out of WWE as well. WWE had kept him around by a legend contract.

AEW might try to get him for possible Four Horsemen reunion (Arn and Tully are active, Dean is around, Brian is represented by his son and JJ was there a while ago).

[BurningHammer]

The former Ever-Rise in NXT, now under the name "2.0", will get a 6-man tag match against Moxley, Kingston and Allin on this Wednesday's AEW Dynamite.

They gradually got better on NXT but the "budget cut" mass releases happened months ago. I hope this will be a platform for them to stay alive in pro wrestling scene.

[Lebron23]

I actually enjoyed Randy Savage's stint in WCW. He can still put some great matches.

WWE can't sustain themselves on drawing crowds for past stars. That's actually what I find most boring most about their booking. They burn their biggest PPV's on those feuds

Another issue is Orton's seat at the table. He's petty and uses his influence against the people he doesn't like.

They have prime talent they can pull from NXT.

Punk himself won't kill WWE. What he symbolizes does hurt WWE. AEW is giving their fans what they want. Good example was Christian winning last night :rockon:

punk WILL kill wwe because he has a cult following and most of wwe's fans are those hipster nerds that chant cm punk every show. kids don't even watch that sh*t anymore. tbh they're more into AEW cause of jungleboy, darby allin and orange cassidy

kids are basically grown up and sick of john cena and roman reigns is a bad guy now.

they don't even have a face for their company now

and with bray wyatts firing while being popular and selling merch nobody will trust management and they won't feel like their job is safe no matter who they are. that and bryan/punk going to aew will be the beginning of the end for wwe

Shit gave me goosebumps. Punk even said he left wrestling in 2005 and he's glad to be back now. Absolutely destroyed WWE in his promo.

[BurningHammer]

According to Punk's post-show press conference, it was Renee Paquette aka Renee Young who invited him to do WWE Backstage, which legitimately re-sparking his passion in pro wrestling again. Of course, people around Punk had been trying to do that but he always shied away from until Renee came in.

Every higher deities bless her. :applause:

Adam Cole has done all contractual commitments, with NXT Takeover 36 being the last, and his contract reportedly is about to expire this Friday.

WWE reportedly is also trying to re-sign him, but seeing trends within WWE Cole would prefer to go somewhere else i.e. AEW where his old friends and his wife are working there.

Jim Ross is transitioning out of the commentating role in AEW. It reportedly is his own call, and he likely is gonna be used in other different roles or commentating on special occasions.

Awesome Kong has officially announced her retirement from pro wrestling on the recent NWA show with her greatest rival Gail Kim.

The last time she wrestled was on AEW and she was there for a very short while before injuries and her GLOW filming schedule caught up with her.

[BurningHammer]

According to Tony Khan, it was Mark Henry who brought Giannis to Dynamite/Rampage tapings in Milwaukee last Wednesday.

Henry is one of the best in pro wrestling at scouting right now. He is the guy who recruited Bianca Belair, Braun Strowman and Apollo Crews to WWE. He also discovered Jade Cargill and she did have an unsuccessful try-out with WWE.

Baylor vs Reigns is going to be a great feud.

[BurningHammer]

Baylor vs Reigns is going to be a great feud.

While I love Fergal "Finn Baylor" Davitt, I don't think he will go any further than he already is, a former Raw champion. Finn is like a more athletic, less charismatic and less creative Daniel Bryan. He has been very successful in NXT but not so much in the main roster for that reason.

Finn vs Roman can happen sooner or later but I don't know how WWE can make it interesting enough to sell big.

Even Bucks vs Mox & Kingston, Bucks vs SCU or Bucks vs Jurassic Express were very good.

so you think it's a good thing to give mid card guys the wwe title just cause they've been around for a long time


Kofi and big E winning the same title that bret hart and stone cold won isn't good for the prestige of the title. it's becoming as degraded as the big gold world heavyweight championship was before it became defunct

tbh the universal title has a better lineage over the past 4 years.


the wwe title has guys like jinder winning it and these bums. its officially trash


guess who's won the aew title so far after almost 3 years

jericho, moxley and omega

that's how you make a lineage people can respect

E and Kofi, as parts of New Day, have been over for years, great merchandise movers, consistent and well-respected in-ring workers, and great PR guys for WWE. Vince does reward these folks once in a while. Otherwise, guys like Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio or even Dolph Ziggler would never win the big ones.

Jinder winning was purely marketing purpose, which failed badly since he is no Khali (not really Indian).

WE has released a lot of personnel again, after they released Stan Stanski, a long time senior VP who was seen to be a WWE lifer, after Q3 earning call.

So far, the bigger names are....

- Nia Jax
Huge surprise because her being in the Samoan Connection. But it's kinda welcome surprise.

- Both Karion Kross and Scarlett Bordaeux
Had a decent run together in NXT before Karrion being promoted and immediately buried with a loss while still having the NXT belt and then series of bad gimmicks without Scarlett.

- Both Keith Lee and Mia Yim
Both also had nice runs in NXT only to be completely buried in WWE main roster. Keith got hit by COVID-19 hard and became "Bearcat" Lee recently while Mia Yim was in the ill-fated Retribution then never used after the faction collapsed.

- Gran Metallik and Lince Dorado
The last remnant of Lucha House Party. They worked well as under-carders but never really got pushed for at least the tag belts.

- Ember Moon
She had a good run in NXT, promoted and did quite okay before an injury took her out for a while. She was back and had a decent 2nd run in NXT but didn't go anywhere.

- Eva Marie
She got re-signed after a terrible first run with WWE and still did nothing but being beautiful.

- Oney Lorcan
He was up and down between NXT and WWE but didn't do anything interesting.

- Harry Smith
Got re-signed for unknown roles recently only to be fired again.

- B-FAB
She was recently promoted to Smackdown as a part of Hit Row stable. Quite surprising she got cut outta nowhere too.

Rey vs. Domnick Mysterio Coming Soon.

Vince loves family fights. Plus, Rey loves dramatic feuds and both was in a big one with Eddie Guerrero many years ago. Maybe they will bring that back and Dominick will become Dominick Guerrero soon.

Passing of the torch match

Nah. Dominick still has a loooooooooooooooooooong way to reach his father's level, maybe never.

One thing, he should have debuted under a mask. The mask really is a great sell point of lucha wrestlers and many children of popular luchadores who opt to follow their parent's path have opted to wear masks and adopted similar legacy names. Rey's colorful masks is one of the reasons why he has been so popular, especially among kids.

WWE has released another round of wrestlers:

- John Morrison
He was a great mid-carder on Raw during the pandemic era along with The Miz, but was lost in the shuffle when Miz being on hiatus to be in Dancing with the Stars.

- Hit Row (Top Dolla, Ashante Adonis, Isiah "Swerve" Scott)
They just got promoted to Smackdown not so long ago, then B-Fab got released and now they are all gone. Jinder and Shanky somehow beat them in the rap battle in real life :roll:

- Tegan Nox
She did well in NXT and was promoted as a tag team along with Shotzi. But, as Vince always does, they got broken up and only Shotzi is pushed right now.

- Drake Maverick
He was released TWICE! One during the first release in the middle of 2020 pandemic only to be re-hire by Triple H back to NXT. Trips couldn't save him this time.

- Shane Thorn
AKA Slapjack. He completely disappeared after Retribution broke up.

- Jaxson Ryker
The former Elias' sidekick. He was the one who people believed he would be cut sooner or later, but he lasted quite long.

Damn, this random fan tackled Seth Rollins like a linebacker. Securities were too nice to that idiot as well.

the AEW cm punk promos with MJF and eddie kingston have bret hart/shawn michaels 1997 vibes. so personal. so real. this is how wrestling should be. no scripts. just tell the truth and people will buy it. i have no doubt these guys are saying what they truly feel even though they respect each other. theres definitely real competitive animosity/spite/jealousy that goes on in locker rooms and its better to use it in storylines than doing some dumb shit like wwe and make everything some childish over the top thing or about belts. no wrestler cares about fake belts lol
