Month: September 2022

Konnan decided to call Cody out during last night’s AAA Conquista Total Gira show. You can see the video of the in-ring promo below, in which he said, “When you come to Mexico, you check in with me. You want to make any power moves, you check in with me. AEW is taking baby steps! Triple-A has been running the game for 27 years. You could come sit under the learning tree, instead of giving dumb one-liners and trying to bury me. And let me tell you something, if you don’t heed my advice, it will be the worst mistake you ever made since you decided to grow that goofy mustache a couple years ago. Make no bones about it.”Click Here: Celtic football tracksuit

Corey Graves On WWE’s New Direction Under Eric Bischoff And Paul Heyman

Corey Graves On Seth Rollins Waving The WWE Flag

PLEASE CREDIT CHAD & JP OF THE TWO MAN POWER TRIP OF WRESTLING FOR THIS TRANSCRIPTION
WWE’s hiring of Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman:
“I think everyone is pretty excited. Obviously there are some pretty well publicized changes within the company and honestly I don’t know much more than anyone that reads the internet knows. I kind of get the news around the same time that everybody else does (there’s a shocker for you) everyone thinks I am in on it. People get mad about storylines and send me mean tweets and I’m like, well I didn’t write it and only saw it when you did but there is definitely a little bit of an internal buzz and obviously they are external sources that is everyone is talking about. It’s in a weird way kind of re-invigorated the locker room and hopefully that is the starting of something cool that is going to permeate inside the entire company. I know that the boys and girls that bust their ass every night all around the world that they are fired up now and it is exciting to see and it’s obviously a small change and it is going to take time and take a lot of effort but hopefully yes, in a short answer it is the change of something and I don’t have any cool scoops to give you or any ideas of what those changes will be but I know that we’ve got the biggest collection of talent that we’ve ever had and some of the most incredible workers you’ll ever see and it is just a matter of turning a few things around and getting everybody back on the same page. I know it is kind of or sounds like I am giving you the PC answer that is is not for lack of wanting on any part. I think in a way the company has gotten so big and we’ve gotten so much content that it is easy for what you would think to be major issues to be lost as details and it can’t really fully be explained until you’ve seen the place from within but it’s all still the same. Nobody ever complains and says we aren’t going to try anymore or this doesn’t really matter and that’s never been the case but I think now there is sort of a microscope on us with all the changes in the business as a whole that is has kind of reinvigorated everybody and everyone is being very receptive to suggestions and again it is not going to change overnight but I think that I’ve been around this business for over half my life and there definitely is a buzz. I can’t put my finger on it and I can’t tell you exactly what it is but the atmosphere is different right now and I am hoping and have my fingers crossed that is is for the good of not only the company but for the business as a whole and the fans everywhere.”
Not knowing everything that is going to happen on television:
“A lot of that is as much my preference as it is not really an ordinance. It is not something they told me I can’t know things, I feel like it is more enjoyable for me and my ability to convey the emotion is better when I can be surprised or be unsure or not know what a finish is. Some people like to know every punch that is going to be thrown or every aspect of every match and I don’t like that and it’s just my personal preference and I’ve somehow managed after all the years to be a fan to a certain extent and I feel like that has lended itself to me being successful as a commentator. Obviously, I look at it with my own slant and my heavy bit of sarcasm but I don’t like to know. There is nothing more exciting to me to this day after being with WWE for however long I’ve been here than being surprised. I think all of us ultimately are fans as jaded or as pissed off as people can get we still put up with everything good, bad or indifferent because we are fans and we want the good stuff. In the event that something happens and something is shocking there is no better visceral feeling than going Holy Sh*t I didn’t know that was going to happen. I love that and I hope everyone feels that way.”
Seth Rollins as WWE’s locker room leader:
“”We’ve all had it and I’m pretty sure they still do it when you are hired to NXT. We all go through a class with social media and media training and all of that. At the end of the day from Seth Rollins to everybody on the roster and myself included, producers we are all human beings at the end of the day. So when you get done with a show and you feel good about something you did and you log onto your Twitter to read if people liked this thing and it is just hours and hours of “this sucks”, “the company sucks”, “you should all be fired”, you are a human being at the end of the day. As much as we probably have a thicker skin than a lot of everyday human beings and if you work in a bank and every day you get hundreds of awful tweets of people saying you screwed up their transactions and they want you to be fired it will probably rock you a little bit more than we do.”
“But Seth doing it, it was morale. He is a locker room leader. The same as in generations past, somebody always wants to wave the flag of the boys and the talent. It is even bigger than that and you don’t realize it because they are not on TV the incredible crew that we have that travels just as much as we do and just as frequently as we do. They are at the building before the talent arrives and they are their breaking it down afterwards. They care as much as we do they just happen to not be on screen and that was simply in my opinion Seth’s way of going, Hey! Screw you. I get you guys are upset. He was just standing up for everyone and I respect the sh*t out of Seth for that and I think everyone does. I think we need more people like that.”
Where does WWE go from here?
“I am going to give you a weird analogy and I don’t know if it is a good one or not. Even Disney every once in a while turns out a movie that sucks. It doesn’t sink Disney and people don’t stop loving Mickey Mouse, they go that movie sucked and I won’t see it again and Disney says well that movie sucked and we need to make the next one better. WWE is not going anywhere and I’m excited for the state of the business. I like that the business is heating up and I don’t want to call it competition yet but it is something healthy and respectable and I say the word “yet” with that being the operative word and I hope the best for everybody and I think the best thing that could happen for everyone is competition. When everyone has to be on their toes all the time nobody is complacent, everyone is at their best all the time and the only people who really win is the fans. I lived through the Monday Night Wars and just to tell you the entire time they were going on I was never not at my house on a Monday night from 8pm to 11pm my entire high school career and beyond.”

During last night’s Raw Reunion show, Seth Rollins faced WWE US champion AJ Styles in a non-title match. Since Styles was with The O.C., Rollins brought out DX (Shawn Michaels and Triple H) as his backup. According to today’s edition of The Wrestling Observer Radio, the segment featuring Rollins vs. AJ Styles was originally meant to feature Ricochet. However, an injury caused some last-minute changes to the booking, so Rollins ended up taking his place.
According to Meltzer on today’s show, Ricochet is currently dealing with an elbow infection, which caused the change to have Seth Rollins be featured in a match against AJ Styles instead. Meltzer added that the idea for the segment on the Raw Reunion show was to give Ricochet a “big rub” and endorsement from D-Generation X.
While Meltzer was not sure if the segment was Paul Heyman’s idea, he did note that Ricochet is one of Heyman’s big projects for WWE. Ultimately, Rollins won last night’s match via DQ after The O.C. interfered. DX joined in to help Rollins, and then The New Age Outlaws and Kevin Nash and Scott Hall came out to help as well.Click Here: great britain lions rugby jersey

WWE Network ended Q2 2019 with an average of 1.69 million paid subscribers, a decrease of approximately 6% year-over-year.
For the third quarter 2019, the company projects average paid subscribers of approximately 1.53 million, representing a year-over-year decline of 8%. Given the actual and projected subscriber declines, WWE does not expect to achieve record number of subscribers for 2019.
The Network, along with traditional PPVs, contributed $51.8 million to this quarter, down from the $56.2 million it did last year. In a bid to boost subscribers, WWE offered a select number of former subscribers the ability to subscribe to the service for 3 months for just 99 cents.
During the quarter, WWE produced more than 90 hours of original network content, including live in-ring programs and talent documentaries.
The company is now rolling out the new version of the WWE Network with better features which should be available to all subscribers worldwide this week.Click Here:

It seems as though AEW doesn’t just have former WWE wrestlers on its roster, but former WWE employees among its staff as well. According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dr. Michael Sampson is working as the head physician for All Elite Wrestling. Sampson is a former longtime doctor for WWE.
If the name sounds familiar to you, he is also the doctor who worked for WWE at the time that Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler suffered a heart attack during a RAW taping in 2012. Lawler has long credited Sampson as being the man who saved his life that night.Click Here:

WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss shared photos of her new tattoos on social media. One of them says, “Stand out.” The other says, “You can.” You can check out the images of her new tattoos she shared on Twitter below.
Bliss later revealed on her Instagram story that the “Stand Out” tattoo is a reference to the song “Stand Out” in A Goofy Movie (from the fictional pop star Powerline in the film).

Lynch Says WWE should run Evolution II without Ronda Rousey and Explains Why
Dave Meltzer has reported that WWE are hesistant to do so without having someone like Ronda Rousey as a headliner, but Lynch told talkSPORT that she would love to headline part two.
“Oh, absolutely! First and foremost, it was one of the best pay-per-views of the year. And that’s not me being biased, that’s a fact,” Lynch confidently stated. “It had Match of the Year on it, including yours truly.
Absolutely, I don’t see any reason why not. I think we have a strong enough women’s division [without Rousey on the Roster], as long as they tell the stories around us and let us go. And… that’s all I’ll say.”

The late Gary Hart to be posthumously honored in Dallas on September 7
Legendary manager and matchmaker to be recognized for his contributions to the sport

DALLAS – The late, great Gary Hart will be posthumously recognized for his contributions to Dallas and professional wrestling on Saturday night September 7.
The late Mr. Hart will be honored by Major League Wrestling at the NYTEX Sports Centre where his sons Jason and Chad will be on hand as MLW pays tribute to the late matchmaker, manager and wrestler.
A genius in his field, Mr. Hart was the architect of World Class Championship Wrestling alongside the Von Erich family. His presence, sinister schemes and imagination forever changed the sport and Dallas Wrestling.
Known for managing the likes of Bruiser Brody, Gino Hernandez, Abdullah the Butcher, Don “the Spoiler” Jardine as well as creating the One Man Gang, Great Kabuki and Dingo Warrior among countless other memorable characters, Hart equally excelled at matchmaking and producing pro wrestling TV programming for World Class Championship Wrestling as well as TBS and in Australia for Jim Barnett.
A ferocious force ringside and in the booking office for promotions, Mr. Hart would end his career in 2004 in MLW. Mr. Hart ushered in a new generation that the sport would reckon with for years to come, including future World Heavyweight Champion Low Ki.
Mr. Hart passed away suddenly at the age of 66 on March 16, 2008 at his home in Dallas.
In 2018 Mr. Hart entered the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame.
“I personally owe a debt of gratitude to Gary,” said MLW CEO and founder Court Bauer. “Without Gary Hart’s presence in my life as a mentor, there is no Major League Wrestling today. It is long overdue that he be honored in the city he helped to put on the map in this great sport.”
MLW invites you to join us Saturday night September 7 in the greater Dallas area as MLW celebrates the memory of a trailblazer in the sport.
