Even with fake crowd noise controlled by WWE, it has no heat. The Miz has pretty much used up all the goodwill he had from that Daniel Bryan feud by this point. Morrison is just a more athletic Miz. Otis and Tucker are the modern-day Bushwackers. Wrestling happens here in this match, but I don't give a crap about[...]

Yang took to Twitter to threaten legal action against the company if current president and WWE Hall-of-Famer President Donald Trump loses the election and Yang either becomes the Secretary of Labor or at the very least has the influence to convince the Secretary of Labor to investigate the pro wrestling industry. Sioux City, Iowa – July[...]

Everone on the Thunderdome screens is making the shocked expression (hands on top of their head, mouth open wide) that no one makes in real life but everyone makes in wrestling crowds because they want the camera on them Bayley beats the crap out of Sasha at ringside Then she brings her inside and stomps[...]

On the media conference call for AEW's All Out PPV last night, AEW President Tony Khan admitted that he may have made a mistake by not going more wrestling heavy for the final Dynamite before All Out The show was criticized for not featuring the usual quantity and quality of in-ring action as fans have[...]

And we've grown so quickly worldwide, but, frankly, even though we're the second biggest wrestling company in the world, we're not the biggest machine We're not the biggest. There's not so many people to spoil a surprise, because I think the more people that are in on it, the more likely it is And we really[...]

A new rumor is making the rounds on the pro wrestling dirt sheets emanating simultaneously from PWInsider and Wrestling Inc It claims that WWE is cracking down on wrestlers "engaging with third parties," giving them less than thirty days to drop such engagement or face fines, suspension, or termination The corroborating reports both claim that[...]

Tony Khan announced the news on Twitter, writing, "Hey, let's just make All Out tomorrow night the best wrestling PPV we can possibly do Now on the main PPV card: Dr Britt Baker v Big Swole in the 1st ever Tooth & Nail Match emanating from Dr Baker's dental office, anything goes, no DQ +[...]

If such a clause is in effect here, that would prevent the team from showing up in a rival wrestling organization until December, so probably don't get your hopes up for a surprise debut at AEW All Out on Saturday Save those hopes for Brock Lesnar instead. If you were still holding out hope for[...]

Move over, Hulk Hogan's Rock and Wrestling! WWE star Rey Mysterio may have lost an eye to Seth Rollins, but at least he has a new career to look forward to being a cartoon star Mysterio will star in a new animated series about himself fighting evil for Cartoon Network Latin America, according to a[...]

When the pandemic hit earlier this year, it changed the landscape of professional wrestling Live events were canceled, and fans barred from arenas, taking away one of the sport's most important components Things have bounced back in different ways For WWE, that means installing a thousand televisions in the stands, calling it the Thunderdome, and[...]

He offered an unspoken deal to the wrestling media: we talk about the PPV, and he provides with a virtually limitless stream of quotes we can break up into dozens of clickbait articles It's a fair trade, and one we appreciate One of the topics on the call is the fabled "third hour" of AEW[...]

Our goal: to chop up his answers into as many clickbait articles as humanly possible to fuel the constant churn of the 24-hour wrestling news cycle Hopefully, we both found success During the call, Khan was asked about AEW's women's division, which has seemed like less of a focus for the company than the men's[...]

Ahead of Saturday's All Out PPV, AEW President Tony Khan hosted a media conference call like a Sea World employee holding a bucker of fish above a tank of trained seals, except the trained seals were wrestling journalists The fish was delicious morsels of quotable answers to questions that could be swallowed whole and transformed[...]

With the All Out PPV coming this Saturday, AEW President Tony Khan held court over the wrestling media like the king he is And Khan is a benevolent ruler, doling out gifts of click and bait for all of his subjects, providing the sustenance on which the 24-hour wrestling news cycle thrives: quotes that can be[...]

Big E, Matt Riddle, Sheamus, or The Ratings King of Friday Nights, Baron Corbin, will win a dubious opportunity on Smackdown Friday.

A veritable feeding frenzy where the creatures feeding were the quasi-journalists of the wrestling media landscape, and the food being fed on was the meaty and delicious ingredients for dozens of clickbait articles On the call, Khan was asked about AEW's relationship with the NWA, with NWA Women's Champion Thunder Rosa wrestling on Dynamite last[...]

For that, we, just like the rest of the wrestling media, are grateful On the call, Khan was asked about the placement of Big Swole and Britt Baker's Tooth and Nail match on the All Out pre-show Though the match has been built for months, it's appearing on the free Buy-In pre-show, which many fans[...]

Airing on a night with no wrestling competition from NXT, but with heavy competition from the NBA, AEW Dynamite nonetheless managed to see a big increase in both viewership and demo rating for Wednesday night's episode this week. Pop open a bottle of the Bubbly because AEW Dynamite had a good night in the ratings[...]

AEW President Tony Khan hosted a media conference call ahead of Saturday's All Out PPV, and of course, one of the biggest questions in wrestling today came up: is AEW looking to sign Brock Lesnar? It was revealed earlier this week that Lesnar is no longer under contract with WWE and, in fact, hasn't been[...]

AEW confirmed!' It's non-stop," said Young in comments transcribed by 411 Wrestling "So obviously, I knew it was going to come up But you know what I found interesting is, as much as I assumed that's what everyone was going to say when I left, more people were like, 'No, she's going to work for[...]

Dynamite goes off the air with MJF holding the title above his head, his foot on Moxley's neck. As a go-home show for All Out, this episode of Dynamite was much lighter on the wrestling and heavier on promos and shenanigans Jon Moxley vs MJF's lawyer was not the most exciting main event, though at least[...]

Heading into a title defense at All Out, the relationship between Kenny Omega and Hangman Page has never been worse on Dynamite last night.

Perhaps it's time to take up a new battle, one they're more suited to because they'll be in a position of extreme advantage as they like it: taking on Impact Wrestling on Tuesday nights. As we approach a year since the launch of AEW Dynamite and the start of the Wednesday Night Ratings Wars between[...]

On AEW Dynamite last night, Proud and Powerful got a welcome victory, but Trent's mom got no justice for the destruction of her van.

That was enough to place NXT in the top ten cable shows for the week, up from 24th place last week. The official logo of Impact Wrestling. Impact Also Aired NXT did face some form of wrestling competition from Impact Wrestling, though Impact did not (and does not usually) chart on the top 150 cable shows, so we[...]

No one is going to accuse Stephen Amell of keeping a low profile as he begins training for and production on his independent pro-wrestling drama series Heels for STARZ Over the past week or so, we've been treated to "live" updates directly from "The Heels Gymnasium"- from early-training pains and some impressive planking feats to[...]

NXT had one, and nobody even won? It looks like Impact Wrestling won the first night of the Tuesday Night Wars to me.   The first hour of NXT featured a lot of short matches, but NXT is about to make up for it The second hour will consist entirely of an Iron Man match, fatal[...]

Impact Wrestling is putting on a great show for the first night of the Tuesday Night Wars, as WWE finally takes revenge for that time Bischoff and Hogan moved TNA to Monday Nights briefly There's an Impact World Championship match set for tonight and the series finale of Wrestle House Let's see what happens.

Impact Wrestling aired a strong episode tonight for the opening night of the Tuesday Night Wars And the commenters in Impact's Twitch stream may or may not have spoiled the NXT main event for me tonight I'm not sure what to believe All I know is it's after 10 PM on a Tuesday night, and[...]
