He has a point. There are very few honors that last forever in wrestling. While winning a championship can mean a lot to a wrestler, at some point they are probably going to lose it back. However, there is one honor that is never taken away: being inducted into a Hall of Fame. Some of the greatest of all time are inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and now another famous name thinks he should be in as well.

Former WWE referee Earl Hebner appeared on his son Brian Hebner’s Reffin It Up podcast, where he was asked if he felt he deserved induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. Earl said that he did, citing what he had done for the business and the matches he refereed over the years. However, Earl also said that the decision on an induction came from WWE rather than him. Earl was with WWE from 1988-2005.

Hold tight because the show is not over. There is a lot taking place at any given television taping, with the things that you see on the show not being anywhere near everything that happens. Live fans will often get to see something extra and that can be some of the most entertaining parts of the show. That might have been the situation this week, as a major star had something to say when the cameras went off.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Keep It Going: AEW Adds Two More Title Matches To Full Gear
The closing segment of this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite saw Maxwell Jacob Friedman square off with Jon Moxley before their World Title match at Full Gear this coming Saturday. Following the end of the show, Friedman asked AEW President Tony Khan to come to the ring. After promising not to shake Khan down for money, Friedman asked the fans if they loved wrestling.

That’s a choice to make. We are less than two weeks away from WWE Survivor Series and in this case the show is going to be a little bit different than in years past. This time around, the show will feature a pair of WarGames matches, with men and women having a match each. One of the matches is almost entirely set but now we know a lot more about the other, yet to be announced, match.

According to PWInsider.com, the main event of Survivor Series will see the Bloodline (Roman Reigns, the Usos, Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn) teaming up against Drew McIntyre, the Brawling Brutes and a fifth member to be named.

There is potential here. Check out the Bloodline, plus WarGames of the past:

Two more on the list? There have been all kinds of wrestlers returning to WWE in recent months and those returns might continue taking place for a little while to come. Several names are interested in working for the new regime and there are some who are in contact with WWE. Now it seems the company is at least interested in having two more former names return.
New reports are suggesting that a pair of former champions are either on their way back to WWE or at least on the company’s radar. According to Ringsidenews.com, WWE is interested in possibly bringing back Matt Cardona, formerly known as Zack Ryder. There is no word on if Ryder is interested in returning to the company. Second, also according to Ringsidenews.com, a member of WWE’s creative teams “would bet” that Bronson Reed, also known as Jonah, will be back before other WWE stars. Reed is a former NXT North American Champion, was released in 2021 but it is not clear if he is interested in returning either.

He deserves a break. This year has been a very eventful one in the wrestling world and there is nothing to suggest that those changes are wrapping up anytime soon. The biggest change of them all has been Vince McMahon retiring from WWE after decades in charge. McMahon doing something other than running WWE seems hard to fathom and now we have a better idea of what he is doing now that he is away from the company.

According to Fightful Select, WWE sources have said they do not hear from McMahon very much these days. Instead, McMahon has reportedly been out more often than when he was running WWE. This included a birthday party with some WWE superstars earlier this year, plus being seen at a restaurant with a woman in New York City last month. McMahon left WWE in July.
McMahon was a major part of the company. Check out some of his moments with WWE:

And so, it grows. We are less than a week away from AEW Full Gear and normally that would mean the card is all but set. However, that is not the case with this show as there are several wrestlers who have nothing to do for the show so far. AEW has a tendency to make some matches at the last minute and now they are adding some more matches to the show’s card.
There were two more matches added to the Full Gear card this week on AEW Dynamite. First up, Death Triangle issued a challenge to an unnamed team for a Trios Titles match, with the Elite being announced as the challenges. Also on the show, a three way brawl broke out between TNT Champion Wardlow, Samoa Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs. Later in the show, a three way match was announced between the three of them, with Wardlow’s TNT Title on the line. Full Gear takes place on Saturday, November 19.
It was a busy night. Check out how the challenge was set up:

Dynamite
Date: November 16, 2022
Location: Total Mortgage Arena, Bridgeport, Connecticut
Commentators: Excalibur, Taz, Tony Schiavone, Ian Riccaboni
It’s the go home show for Full Gear and that means the card could still use some work. If nothing else, we need to have some more matches in the Contenders tournament as the finals are still set for Saturday. Other than that, odds are we’ll be hearing from MJF and Jon Moxley. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Bryan Danielson/Claudio Castagnoli vs. Chris Jericho/Sammy Guevara
It’s a brawl to start with the Club elbowing away at Guevara and Jericho, followed by a surfboard to Guevara. Back up and Guevara hits a dropkick to take over, allowing Jericho to come in for the chops in the corner. Danielson fights out and scores with the running dropkicks to Guevara but tries once too often. Jericho gets in a cheap shot from the floor and we take a break.
Back with Danielson getting double suplexed but managing to get over for the hot tag to C..

That could have been worse. There are all kinds of issues that a wrestler can deal with while they are in the ring, some of which are a lot more serious than others. Those issues do not go away after their careers are over though and sometimes the issues get even worse. That was the case for a certain wrestling legend, but now things have taken a turn for the better.
AEW’s Jake Roberts has announced that he is no longer requiring oxygen and will be back in AEW again. This comes after Roberts has been missing from AEW television for several months due to reported health issues, including reports that he had been receiving oxygen through a tube. Roberts has mainly served as Lance Archer’s manager during his time with the company. It is not clear when Roberts will be returning to AEW TV.
Off oxygen for good!! Standing tall doing great. At AEW AGAIN!! Sweet life I’m living!!

Welcome back? There are all kinds of wrestling promotions in the world and most of them do not look like anything WWE or AEW. The majority of wrestling promotions are run on smaller scales in front of fewer fans. At the same time though there are some promotions with reputations from name alone, and now another one of them might be on their way back to life.
