Say that again? Wrestling has a long history of outlandish ideas, including Robocop making an appearance, a walking/dancing turkey and a beer swilling redneck from Texas who fancied beating up his boss.
Sometimes the zaniest ideas can come from the fans themselves. Redditor u/anonymouspotatoskins recently asked, “What’s the worst idea you’ve had lately but too afraid to share?” Commentors weighed in and thousands of fans upvoted their favorite of the “worst” ideas.
Brock Lesnar Channels His Inner IRS IMG Credit: WWE There may be no one more intimidating in the wrestling world than Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate has destroyed almost everyone he has come into contact with over the years, mainly as other worldly strong former amateur wrestling champion. That has worked very well, but what if he had another interest?
Lesnar has a reputation of being out to make as much money as possible, and Redditor Tom_Dynamite would like to see that get a sharper focus. He suggests, “Brock becomes..

That’s a big change. A wrestler’s look is one of the most important parts of their entire presentation. You can get a lot of people’s attention by having someone look so different that they can’t turn away. That can be a good or a bad thing, but having someone change their look can be rather jarring. That was the case this week, and it wasn’t exactly something positive.
This week’s edition of NXT included a poker showdown between Duke Hudson and Cameron Grimes. After Hudson lost the game when Grimes bluffed him, he attacked Grimes and pulled out a pair of scissors. Hudson cut Grimes’ beard and hair, which comes after rumors of Grimes getting a new look from a few weeks ago. There is no word on if Grimes’ look will be changed again.
It was a big change. Check out what happened, plus some of Grimes’ better moments:

They might have a point. There are so many things going on at a wrestling show that it can be hard to keep track of everything. This includes during every match, as some of them are a lot faster pace than others. One constant throughout the matches though is the possibility of someone getting hurt. That was the case over the weekend and it has landed someone in some hot water.
Last weekend’s AEW Full Gear event featured a match between the Lucha Bros and FTR. About ten minutes into the match, Dax Harwood was legitimately knocked out by Rey Fenix, leaving Cash Wheeler to face the Lucha Bros on his own. According to Fightful Select, some of the AEW locker room is not happy with Fenix for failing to check on Harwood after the match, as it is considered common courtesy. There is no word on how bad Harwood may be hurt, though there is also nothing to suggest he will miss ring time. The ending to the match was also changed, as Harwood was supposed to be involved as part of the illegal man b..

Like the old days? NXT has been changed in a big way over the last few months and that very well may continue to be the case. The roster is almost unrecognizable since its relaunch in September and there is nothing to suggest that WWE is done shaking it up. However, we might even be in for another huge shakeup, which some fans have been wanting to see for a long time now.
According to the WrestleVotes Twitter account, the original plan for the NXT 2.0 relaunch would have called for NXT to switch from TV-PG to TV-14. There is still a chance that this could happen in the future as the USA Network has signed off on the idea. However, it is not clear if WWE wants to go through with the change. If they decide to do so, it is not clear when the change would be or how long it would take.
Within the origins of this NXT 2.0 concept was an idea that the programs rating would shift from TV-PG to TV-14. Source confirms that’s still very much on the table and USA Network is not opposed. If / when..

That would be a big one. We are on the way to the next big NXT event with WarGames on December 5. While it is not a Takeover event, it seems it will be having all makings of one of them. This includes theshow’s namesake match, which could make for some interesting changes. The NXT roster has been decimated by changes and injuries but now we might know something big on the horizon.
This week’s NXT featured a main event of Dakota Kai vs. Raquel Gonzalez. When Gonzalez seemed to have the match won, Toxic Attraction interfered to cause the disqualification. This led to Cora Jade and Io Shirai making the save. After the ring was cleared, Shirai issued the challenge for a WarGames match, though it has yet to be made official. There is no word on who would team with Shirai and Gonzalez.
This was a big moment. Check out the brawl plus what WarGames looks like:

NXT
Date: November 16, 2021
Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Beth Phoenix, Vic Joseph, Wade Barrett
We’re back to whatever NXT has become but this time it’s all about WarGames. Somehow NXT thinks they have a matchup that will work there, though I’m almost scared to know who is going to be included. Maybe we find that out tonight, plus get what should be an obvious setup for Breakker vs. Ciampa II. Let’s get to it.
Tony D’Angelo vs. Dexter Lumis Fallout from D’Angelo suggesting Lumis was about to get whacked. Lumis has a drawing for D’Angelo, showing him asleep in a school of fish. D’Angelo bails away to start and gets caught with a Thesz press. Back up and D’Angelo gets in a few shots of his own to take over and we hit the chinlock. Lumis fights up again but D’Angelo snaps his throat across the top. With Lumis staggered, D’Angelo grabs the easel the drawing is sitting on, which is quickly taken away. That’s all D’Angelo needs as he pokes Lumis in the..

It’s time to hype it up. Later this week, WWE is bringing Survivor Series to Brooklyn, which is going to get even more attention than usual. Survivor Series is already one of the biggest shows on the WWE calendar, but now it is taking place in New York City. That means WWE is going to want to get as much extra attention as they can. It seems that they have a plan on how to do just that.
According to Fightful Select, a group of WWE stars will be involved in a major media appearance later this week. Big E., the Miz, Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins, Bianca Belair and the Street Profits will be appearing on the Late Show With Stephen Colbert later this week. The sketch was filmed in advance, though there is no word on when it will air. In addition, Roman Reigns is scheduled to appear on this Wednesday’s edition of the Tonight Show.
Wrestlers have appeared on late night TV before. Check out some of the cooler moments:

That’s what they’re made for. Records and statistics can be fascinating in wrestling, as there is end to how deep you can go. You will hear all kinds of stats and numbers and some of the things that you will find can be very interesting. It is a pretty cool moment when you see something take place for the first time ever, and that is going to be the case this weekend at a major event.
According to the Internet Wrestling Database, Randy Orton is scheduled to take part in his 177th pay per view match this Sunday at WWE Survivor Series. This will move him into first place all time, breaking his current tie with Kane at 176 pay per view matches. Orton and Riddle are scheduled to face the Usos in a champion vs. champion match. Orton’s first pay per view match came at Summerslam 2003.
Orton has been in some high profile pay per view matches. Check out some of his better ones:

Welcome back? Wrestling has come a long way in the last several years and a lot of those changes are not going to be changing anytime soon. Some of these are more popular than others, as there are some which can cause wrestlers a lot of trouble. One such wrestler got in trouble for something that took place a long time ago, but we might be seeing him again pretty soon.
This Sunday, WWE will be presenting Survivor Series, featuring a match between Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte. The promos leading up to this match have involved Lynch questioning Charlotte’s in-ring skills and legacy. As a result, Charlotte’s father Ric Flair has sent out a tweet, suggesting that he will be at Survivor Series to watch the match. Flair was released from WWE earlier this year but has not made a major appearance since an episode of Dark Side Of The Ring discussed Flair’s behavior on the infamous Plane Ride From Hell in 2002.

Did you catch it? There are all kinds of wrestlers in the world today and it is difficult to find a way for them to stick out. With wrestlers being able to do all kinds of athletic feats, they are going to have to have to come up with something to set them apart. One of the best ways is with a different look, which was on display this week, even if you might not have noticed.
This week’s Monday Night Raw featured a segment between Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan. The segment saw Morgan wearing a red outfit, which was inspired by Britney Spears’ outfit from her Oops!….I Did It Again music video. Morgan referenced Spears in a tweet by saying “Hit Me Becky One More Time. NXT interviewer Samantha Irvin mentioned the Spears inspiration as well.

He has earned the break. AEW has come a very long way in its short history and there is nothing to suggest that they are going to slow down anytime soon. Things got picked up in a big way again over the weekend with Full Gear, which saw the crowning of a new World Champion. That is quite the changing of the guard, but it might be an even bigger one than you thought.
The main event of Full Gear saw Hangman Page defeating Kenny Omega to become the new AEW World Champion. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Omega was always planning to take time off as soon as he lost the title. There is no word on how long Omega will be out of action, though he is said to also be suffering from vertigo. It is not clear if the vertigo is the reason for Omega taking time off.
Omega has put in the work. Check out some of the things he did as AEW World Champion:

You have to have a sense of humor. There are certain moments in a wrestler’s career that change things in a major way. Some of these might be financial, such as signing a new contract with a company, but others can be reaching a milestone, such as being trusted as the top star of a promotion. The latter often comes with becoming the World Champion, and now a new champion has something in mind.
Over the weekend, Hangman Page defeated Kenny Omega to win the AEW World Title at Full Gear. Following the win, Page has issued a statement, which talks about his title win and what he wants to do as champion. The release is rather tongue in cheek, with a scheduled release date of “sometime after BTE goes up I guess”. Page also includes a thank you to all of his fans for sticking by him over the years.
