WHAT? WWE Announces Special Steve Austin Week

I’d say he’s earned it. The WWE Network has done some great things for wrestling history as fans are now able to see all kinds of wrestling that they might have never seen before. This includes both the wrestling itself but also WWE’s rather impressive documentaries about various things that have taken place before. There will be several of them coming this week and they will have a theme.
There are starts in the wrestling world and then there is Steve Austin. In the history of wrestling, there are very few wrestlers anywhere close to Austin’s level and there may be no one bigger than him, at least in the modern era. Austin changed the way the wrestling world works and will be remembered for a long time to come. WWE is making sure that is the case.
WWE has announced Stone Cold Steve Austin Week starting on March 16, known as Steve Austin Day. There will be four specials on the WWE Network and Peacock on Austin, including two documentaries, a special collection of Austin’s best matche..

Pen To Paper: WWE Signs To New International Stars

You have to keep things fresh. Wrestling is like almost any other sport, as there are different styles in different parts of the world. That can make for some interesting matches when you put those styles against each other, which is where a promotion can have some fun. It makes sense to sign wrestlers from various places and now WWE is trying to do just that.
WWE is the biggest and most international wrestling promotion in the world, with fans from dozens of countries. As a result, it makes sense to have wrestlers from various countries from outside of the United States as well, which is something WWE has done fairly well over the years. That is the case again, as they have signed two more international stars to the company.
According to PWInsider.com, WWE has signed two Australian wrestlers to the company. First is Matty Wahlberg, who debuted in 2017 and was trained by Madison Eagles and Robbie Eagles. The second is Steph De Lander, who also debuted in 2017. She received a tryout a..

VIDEO: Rap Song Dedicated To Charlotte

I would say she has earned it. The Women’s Revolution is almost six years old now and that means the original generation of stars has come a long way. All three of the stars who made their debut on that night have become stars in their own right and that has been great news for WWE. You could argue which has been the best, but only one stands alone when it comes to accomplishments.
While you can argue over how much she has been pushed, there is no denying that Charlotte has been incredibly successful in WWE. She has won more titles than she knows what to do with, won the Royal Rumble and has headlined WrestleMania. That leaves her without many more things to do in WWE, but someone from outside the company has given her a new accomplishment.
This will get some attention. Check out a special tribute to Charlotte:

Rappers Monteasy and Jon Connor have released a new song about Charlotte called Second Nature. The video features a variety of wre..

Update On WWE’s Hall Of Fame Plans For This Year

It’s a different way of doing it. We are on the Road To WrestleMania and while that means that we are coming up on one of the biggest shows of the year, it also means that we are coming up on Wrestlemania weekend. WWE takes over a number of days, offering a variety of material over the course of most of a week. One such thing that was missing last year is coming back, though in a different format.
There are a lot of championships in WWE but those are titles that are going to come and go with a single reign. A wrestler can get their title back but at some point they are going to lose it again. There are very few things that the company can offer that will stay around forever but the Hall Of Fame is one of them. There was a class last year, though it was never inducted. It seems that there will be one this year as well, and now we know how things will be going.
According to Fightful Select, this year’s WWE Hall Of Fame ceremony will be taped in advance rather than airing live. The cere..

WWE Had An International Pay Per View Planned For 2020

What could have been. The Coronavirus has changed the way the wrestling world works and that has become more and more obvious every single day. Every wrestling company has had to change its plans but most of the bigger ones have managed to survive in one way or another. WWE has been the same, but now we know what might have been had things not changed.
An athlete from another sport coming into the wrestling world can be one of the most interesting things you see from any given promotion. It is a very simple concept of seeing what another sport can do in wrestling and it has had some success over the years. WWE has capitalized on the idea before and will continue to do so in the future, but they had to cancel some huge plans from last year.
In a new interview with Behind The Gloves, world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury revealed that he was planned to wrestle on three WWE shows in 2020. Fury revealed that he was scheduled to appear at WrestleMania 36, Summerslam and at an unnam..

More On Andrade Requesting WWE Release

They do have a point. WWE may not be the most well liked wrestling promotion in the world but they are the biggest and most powerful. They are also on the biggest platform and are going to have more eyes on them than anyone else. That allows them quite a bit of leverage and odds are that will be the case for a long time to come. As a result, they are not going to want their stars going elsewhere and that is on display again.
One of the more interesting stories over the last week has been Andrade attempting to secure his release from WWE. After not wrestling on television for several months, Andrade is trying to get out of his contract with the company. Despite being rather talented, Andrade has not been used in a very long time and understandably wants out. WWE has said no and now we know a bit more about why.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is turning down Andrade’s request for a release as they do not want him, or anyone else for that matter, to go to AEW. While there ar..

You In? WrestleMania Status For Three Legends

They will be missed. WrestleMania is the biggest and more important show in the wrestling world and has been for a very long time now. The show usually draws the biggest audience of the year and the things that happen there change the way WWE works for a long time to come. There is very little close to its league and a lot of that comes from its star power. It seems that this year’s show might be missing some of that though.
WrestleMania 36 was a unique show as it was held over the course of two nights instead of one and had no fans in attendance. These changes took place due to the Coronavirus pandemic and since the pandemic is not over, WrestleMania 37 will be affected as well. The show will again be held over two nights but this time around there will be fans in attendance. However, they will not have some people to watch.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Brock Lesnar, Goldberg and Undertaker are not expected to appear at WrestleMania 37 next month. Lesnar is currently not u..

VIDEO: Injured SmackDown Star Teases WWE Return

Change it up? There are some very talented wrestlers in the world today but at some point they are going to get stale. Through no fault of their own, eventually a wrestler is going to become too familiar to the audience and need something new to spice things up again. The talent is there but it needs a different presentation. We may be about to see that on SmackDown.
There is something special about masked wrestlers. Not only do the masks often look great, but they offer a unique aura to the person wearing them. In some cases they make the wrestlers feel like a superhero, which can be a great way to make a wrestler seem more important. This is even more true in the case of a smaller wrestler, but now things might be changing for one of them.
This is certainly different. Check out what a masked wrestler might be doing:

SmackDown star Kalisto has posted a new video to Twitter with his mask off, though his back is to the camera. Kalisto says f..

WATCH: Edge vs. The Undertaker From WrestleMania XXIV (24)

The dead shall rise again. WWE has posted a new video to its YouTube channel in which they show the full match between Edge and The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship from WrestleMania XXIV (24).
You can see the video in its entirety below:
[This post contains video, click to play]

From WWE.com:
During the contest, The Phenom delivered a relentless torrent of his signature moves, weakening his resistant rival. Edge, too, retaliated with just about every vicious hold and attack he could possibly muster. Clearly well-schooled and self-educated in the challenger’s stratagem, the Rated-R Superstar reversed key maneuvers and even kicked out of several pinfall attempts after Undertaker landed a number of typically deal-closing moves — including the Last Ride and even the Tombstone Piledriver.
Following critical shifts in momentum and an attempt at his own Tombstone, the defending World Champion found some support from his Rated-R entourage. The Deadman managed to lay was..
