It’s nice to have something different for a change. With everything going nuts at the moment, there is very little in the way of nice news coming from the world of wrestling. Yes there have still been shows and some matches might be better than others, but it seems that everything is in some kind of a negative light. This time around it’s actually something positive for a change.
Relationships in wrestling are hard to pull off. The lives of wrestlers are some of the most complicated things in the world with wrestlers running from one show to the next, often going around the country if not the world in the process. That can make things especially hectic, making it harder and harder to find time for a relationship of any kind. Therefore, relationships in the business can often be the best option. Hence where we are today.
AEW’s Penelope Ford and Kip Sabian have both posted videos to their Instagram showing Sabian proposing to Ford, who accepted. The two were on a beach taking a photo f..

Wrestlemania XXXVI Night Two
Date: April 5, 2020
Location: WWE Performance Center, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Michael Cole, John Bradshaw Layfield
We’re back for more of the same and that might not be the worst thing in the world. Last night’s part one wasn’t half bad but they are going to have a hard time surpassing that main event. There are eight more matches, plus the required Kickoff Show match, tonight so hopefully they can have another good one. Let’s get to it.
Kickoff Show: Liv Morgan vs. Natalya Morgan rolls her up for two to start so Natalya does the same for a standoff. Some more rollups get some more near falls until Morgan sends her into the corner. A running hip attack hits Natalya but she’s right back with her basement dropkick for two more. Natalya clotheslines her to the floor, followed by the surfboard back inside. Natalya: “ASK HER!!!!” That’s broken up and Liv’s Codebreaker gets two. The sitout wheelbarrow faceplant gives Natalya the same and they pinfall rev..

They’re trying. We are in the middle of a never before seen event in wrestling history as you never know what is going to happen from one day to the next. With the spread of the Coronavirus changing one thing after another every single day, you never can tell what you are going to see on any given day. The industry is trying to hold on and in this case, WWE is doing something rather unique.
The biggest part of the problem for wrestling television at the moment is finding a place to shoot the shows. The vast majority of the United States is currently under government orders to shelter in place in an effort to help prevent the virus from spreading. As a result, it is very difficult to find a location to film anything. That has never stopped WWE before though and it might not now.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is currently planning to tape this week’s SmackDown from a secret location. There is no word on where the show could be taped, with the only clue being that it would ..

I’d say they’ve earned it. This year’s WrestleMania is not going to be like any other that has ever been seen. The show is taking place in front of no fans and is being split into two nights, meaning that everything is upside down compared to what we are usually seeing. There is still wrestling though, with Night One featuring something that was just as different as the rest of the show. As it turns out, it did rather well indeed.
The first night of WrestleMania 36 was headlined by the Boneyard match between AJ Styles and Undertaker. The rules of the match were not exactly clear on the way to WrestleMania so no one was sure what to expect. As it turns out, the match was more of a mini movie than a match, similar to Matt Hardy’s Final Deletion matches. The match seemed to have been well received though and a lot of wrestlers have something to say about it.
Following the match, several wrestlers commented positively on the match with many of them outright praising what Undertaker and S..

You don’t get something like this. There are very few wrestlers in history like the Undertaker. He has been around forever and still manages to have one big moment after another. Later this year, he will celebrate thirty years with the company, which is practically unheard of in almost any wrestling company. In that whole time, we have barely seen anything from behind the curtain with him, but now that might be changing.
Late last year, Undertaker was a guest on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions. This marked a very rare look at the person behind the Undertaker character. That is something fans have been interested in seeing for decades now and it finally took place. They did not have time to talk about everything though, and that is why Sunday night brought good news.
During the first night of WrestleMania 36, WWE announced a new limited series about the Undertaker, called The Last Ride. The limited series will feature out of character interviews with Undertaker, as well as major ..

You have to get off on a nice foot. There are a lot of things to criticize about WWE and that has been the case for a very long time now. Their creative direction and match quality may vary by your personal preferences, but there is one thing that they do with very little room for criticism. That would be their video packages, which they did again at a high level over the weekend.
Saturday night saw the first half of WrestleMania 36 and this show was a tricky one. The problem with having no fans in place and having to figure out what is going on tonight is a daunting task and WWE had its work cut out to figure out how to do it. A big part of that is setting the stage in the right way, and as usual, WWE knows exactly what they are doing with this stuff.
This is a great one. Check out how WrestleMania got started:

WWE has released its opening video for WrestleMania 36, which features the same pirate theme that the show had been built around since it was first announced. The video inc..

We’re halfway there. WrestleMania 36 is going to be one of the most unique shows that wrestling has ever seen. Ignoring the entire crowd situation, it is very rare to see a major American wrestling event stretched out to two nights. That is what we’re getting here though, meaning there are two different sets of results to consider. Now the first half is in the books and we can look at some results.
As usual, WrestleMania is built around title matches. Most of the big matches on the show are going to have a title involved in some form and that is how wrestling almost always tends to go. This year’s show is no exception, with a total of nine title matches taking place over the course of the two nights. With night one already done, there is a big question to be answered: how did the champions do?
Night One of WrestleMania 36 featured five title matches with a total of two title changes. Goldberg lost the Universal Title to Braun Strowman and Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross won the Women’s T..

Night 1 of WrestleMania 36 is upon us. Since no one is able to make it live, and plans were thwarted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, let us make the best of this situation and have a watch party! The card is split in two, with several changes due to wrestlers not able to made it to the WWE Performance Center, or wisely decided to sit the event out, such as Roman Reigns.
Kevin Owens confirmed in his promo against Seth Rollins that his match will indeed be occurring on Saturday evening. Sports Illustrated has posted the full card for Night 1.
Here is the full line-up:
Pre-show match: Drew Gulak vs. Cesaro Elias vs. King Corbin Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins WWE Raw Women’s Championship match: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Shayna Baszler WWE Intercontinental Championship match: Sami Zayn (c) (with Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura) vs. Daniel Bryan (with Drew Gulak) WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship match: John Morrison (c) vs. Jimmy Uso vs. Kofi Kingston (Triple Threat ladder match) WWE Women’s Tag Te..

Wrestlemania XXXVI Part 1
Date: April 4, 2020
Location: WWE Performance Center, Orlando, Florida
Commentator: Michael Cole, John Bradshaw Layfield
Host: Rob Gronkowski
Sweet goodness that does not feel right. I’m not sure what to expect tonight because WWE didn’t feel the need to tell us what was going to be taking place on either night. This show is going to have about a hundred asterisks in the history books and that’s perfectly fine, but it doesn’t make things any less disappointing (not that it’s WWE’s fault). Let’s get to it.
Kickoff Show: Cesaro vs. Drew Gulak Gulak takes him down by the arm to start but Cesaro powers up with a backbreaker to get out of trouble. That earns him a LeBell Lock (which Cole calls a Crossface) to send Cesaro outside so Gulak dives on him for a bonus. Back in and Cesaro’s arm gets snapped across the top rope and a clothesline puts him on the floor again. Cesaro gets sent into the steps but he’s able to uppercut Gulak out of the air back inside for two..

Of course there’s more time. We have finally reached WrestleMania weekend and that means the biggest night(s) of wrestling all year long. While we don’t know what is going to take place on each specific night as WWE has not announced a card for either show, we do know a little something: there are going to be A LOT of matches all around. This includes something that wasn’t even announced before the weekend.
One of the biggest parts of WrestleMania is how many places are broadcasting the show. Of course the is the WWE Network, but we also have the FOX App, plus regular pay per view. In other words, there is no excuse to not be able to see the show, meaning WWE is promoting the heck out of it. What better way to do that than with some extra material that you won’t see on the pay per view?
WWE has announced a pair of Kickoff Show matches for WrestleMania 36, with one match airing per night. First up, Drew Gulak will face Cesaro on Saturday night while Natalya and Liv Morgan will square ..

Better late than never. There is a lot taking place at this weekend’s WrestleMania 36 and that means there is not much time left to hammer out all of the details. This gets even more complicated when you consider that the show has already been taped, meaning no more changes can be made. That doesn’t apply to the build though, and WWE has made a last minute adjustment.
This year’s WrestleMania is going to be defined by everything that happened because of the spread of the Coronavirus. The disease has swept around the world and changed so many things in a variety of places. This includes the world of wrestling, where WWE is not exactly thrilled with the idea of having its performers getting sick. As a result, a change needed to be made and they are finally acknowledging it.
WWE has confirmed that the Miz will not be able to participate in this year’s WrestleMania. As a result, the SmackDown Tag Team Titles will now be defended in a three person triple threat ladder match with John Morr..

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was recently interviewed by Mike Greenberg on ESPN’s “Get Up,” where he discussed the upcoming WrestleMania 36 show and the company’s decision to host it, despite the Coronavirus pandemic.
You can see the entire interview below:

Flair said that he is proud of WWE for taping the show and for going on it. He said that it is important that people have live events to look forward to because there is nothing but replays on sports networks right now. He said that it will give people a reason to laugh and smile about during this difficult time.
With regards to there being no audience for the shows, The Nature Boy said that Kevin Dunn and Vince McMahon will make it seem like there are people there. This will be done through video packages and production techniques, and the athletes will perform as if there was a stadium full of people. He also said that on Monday morning, the sports shows will be talking about WrestleMania and not Tom Brady, The Buccaneers or Tu..
