Welcome back/nice to meet you? Back in 2018, Ronda Rousey took the wrestling world by storm and there was no stopping her until she headlined WrestleMania 35 in the biggest women’s wrestling match of all time. It is rare to see someone become anything like her but she has not been around in over a year and a half. That might be changing though, with a bit of a twist.
Relationships are one of the most complicated aspects to a career in wrestling. A wrestler in a relationship is not going to be able to see their significant other very often and that can cause some serious strains. However, one of the exceptions is for couples who both happen to be in the wrestling business. While not yet confirmed, that might play into the chances of Rousey returning to WWE.
According to Fightful Select, both Rousey and her husband Travis Browne have been training in a wrestling ring in recent weeks. Browne has never wrestled before but has been working on his selling and timing. He is also still part ..

The first of its kind. WWE has posted a new video to its YouTube channel, in which they show the first-ever Buried Alive match from the “In Your House” event of the same name in 1996.
You can see the match in its entirety below:

From WWE.com:
Unsure of what to expect in such a morbid match, WWE officials did not sanction the bout, clearing them of any responsibility for the mayhem that was sure to occur. Mankind and The Phenom brutalized each other, brawling around Indianapolis’ Market Square Arena, back and forth between the ring and the graveyard. Steel chairs, ring steps, shovels and the concrete arena floor all came into play, as the two rivals used everything in sight to maim each other.
The Undertaker seemed to have the battle wrapped up after a devastating Tombstone. He carried Mankind to the grave until the unstable Superstar locked in his dreaded Mandible Claw. The Phenom recovered from the submission hold before Mankind could crack him with Paul Bearer’s urn. That gave U..

This isn’t going to go well. WWE is the biggest wrestling company in the world and has been here for a very long time now. There is almost nothing in the wrestling world that can come close to it in various areas. They have conquered the wrestling world, with most of it competition coming from other forms of entertainment. However, one of their latest moves might have made then a bigger enemy.
One of the more controversial stores involving WWE this year has been their decisions involving WWE’s third party media platforms. This change has mainly focused around the Twitch streaming service, with several wrestlers not being happy with WWE deciding to take over the accounts. WWE Is arguing that since the wrestlers work for them, the wrestlers have no right to make money from their screaming. This has not gone well and it might get worse in a hurry.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the WWE locker room is unhappy with the company’s decision and several wrestlers have been in contact ..

It’s never too early to start planning ahead. We are less than five months away from WrestleMania 37 and that means WWE needs to start getting things rolling with the preparation. They are going to have their work cut out for them after WrestleMania 36 was such a different show than they had planned. That means they need a stacked card and they have something in mind.
The main event of WrestleMania 36 saw Drew McIntyre defeat Brock Lesnar to become the new WWE Champion. McIntyre would go on to hold the title for almost seven months, during which McIntyre became one of the biggest stars WWE had to offer. That can make it difficult to find a challenger, so they were starting to look outside the company. That included another World Champion and there is a possibility of something happening.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there has been talk of McIntyre facing boxing World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury at WrestleMania 37, though nothing has been set in stone. The match..

It could be worse. You never know when you are going to see an injury in wrestling and oftentimes it can be a rather bad situation. Sometimes what looks to be something simple is actually a much more serious injury and the wrestler could be out of action for a long time. Thankfully a recent one does not seem to be as bad as it could have been and we have a somewhat positive update.
Last week at Impact Wrestling’s Bound For Glory, Heath, formerly known as Heath Slater in WWE, was part of the Call Your Shot gauntlet. During the match, Heath suffered some sort of injury and was left laying on the mat for a long stretch. It seems that Heath was supposed to win the match but wound up having to be eliminated due to his injury. Now we know a bit more about what happened and how bad it was.
Heath has made a post to Instagram with an update on his health status. During the match, Heath suffered a severe inguinal injury, a partially torn abductor muscle and a slight groin tear. Heath will not ..

That’s something you don’t see too often. One of the most important parts of a wrestler’s presentation is their gimmick. If you have something that makes you stand out in the right way, it can take you a rather long way. Part of that is doing various things which play into the character, perhaps even having a certain signature thing. That will be on display Monday, in a pretty specific way.
Earlier this month, Elias made his return to WWE after a five month absence due to injury. Elias immediately went after Jeff Hardy, who he blamed for the injury in the first place, by hitting him in the back with a guitar. This set off a feud between the two of them, with Elias defeating Hardy via DQ at Hell In A Cell. Now they are ready for a rematch with a specific set of rules.
WWE has announced that Hardy and Elias will face off in a Guitar On A Pole match on next week’s Monday Night Raw. There is no word on how the rules of the match will work, as pulling the guitar down may or may end the ma..

Not on our show you don’t. The Coronavirus has had a huge impact on the way WWE has worked this year. There are only so many ways that the company can keep things operating as usual during the pandemic and that is going to cause a lot of changes to take place. Some of these changes are various things not being around, and that will be the case during the build to a major show.
We are coming up on Survivor Series in November and that means things are going to start getting interesting in a hurry. Last year’s event was quite the show with a three way battle for brand supremacy between Monday Night Raw, SmackDown and NXT. One of the best parts was the shows attacking each other, but we won’t be seeing that this year and for a very good reason.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, there will be no invasions from one show to another this year for the sake of keeping the rosters separate. This way, if one of the rosters is infected, it will not spread over to the other show and cause mor..

There have actually been a few changes around here as of late, with the biggest ones being in the form of some fresh stars. I don’t believe for a second that it is going to matter in the long run, but it is nice to see something new taking place for a change. It’s certainly better than some of the things we had been getting so let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Vic: “Welcome to Boo-05 Live.”
Ariya Daivari vs. Curt Stallion Tony Nese joins commentary and yes, he and Daivari are called Originals. Stallion grabs a headlock to start as Nese doesn’t think much of these new guys. Daivari can’t get away without a pull of the hair so Stallion chops away but gets sent face first into the buckle. A belly to back suplex drops Stallion as Nese is kind of incensed over Vic offering him Skittles.
Daivari bails to the floor from the threat of a right hand but a Nese dis..

That’s some exposure. There are legends in wrestling and then there are serious legends in wrestling. Some names are the kinds of people who are going to be known outside of the industry and while that is difficult to accomplish, it is something that makes a person a star for life. That is the case with someone who has recently hung up the boots, but he is still an absolute legend.
Earlier this year, the Undertaker finally retired from the ring, marking the end of a phenomenal career. Ignoring everything he did before coming to WWE, Undertaker had a remarkable thirty year run with WWE where he accomplished everything that he could have wanted. That is the kind of career that is going to be well remembered, and that is the case again, even on a bigger stage.
This isn’t something everyone gets to do. Check out Undertaker getting quite the exposure:

Undertaker was a guest on this Friday’s edition of the Tonight Show, taking part in a segment called Audience Suggestion Box. One of the ..

It’s the post pay per view edition of the show and that means there is absolutely nothing to be seen from Smackdown. That’s one of the weird things that happens around here and while it makes perfect sense, it puts a lot of focus on Raw, which often isn’t the best idea in the world. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Tucker vs. Humberto Carrillo Tucker, now in regular trunks to show that he’s EVIL, drives Carrillo into the corner but gets caught in a headlock for his efforts. The springboard spinning crossbody gives Carrillo two but he’s right back with a belly to back suplex for the same. The chinlock doesn’t last long as commentary talks about anything but this match.
Some Junkyard Dog style all fours headbutts have Carrillo in more trouble and there’s a bodyscissors, which is rather anti-JYD. Tucker misses the falling headbutt though and Carrillo hits a dropkick fo..

I’d call that a big get. One of the most exciting things to see in the wrestling world is a big jump. You never know when you are going to see someone move from one promotion to another and it can make for some of the best moments in the sport. These names can go from one place to another at the drop of a hat and the bigger the name is, often the more exciting everything can be. That might be the case again next week.
There have been a lot of legends in WWE over the years and that means they have been able to present all kinds of people in different ways. On the other hand, AEW has not been around all that long so far. They are developing a history of their own, but it is going to take time. The company has had its share of moments though, and now they might be borrowing from another one.
AEW has released a new commercial for their Full Gear pay per view which asks who will be the next major surprise to debut on the show. The commercial lists off various names who have appeared for t..

The card keeps growing. We are just over three weeks away from Survivor Series and that means things are starting to pick up in a hurry. There are a lot of things going on already but several more details need to be put in place. With so many matches to come and so many spots on the card to fill, that can be quite the task, but WWE has been taking care of some things this week, including on SmackDown.
Over the last few years, the main focus of Survivor Series has been on the Battle For Brand Supremacy. Both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown will send in wrestlers to compete in a series of elimination tags, with the winners gaining bragging rights for the year. This week, Monday Night Raw added some names to its rosters and now SmackDown has begun to do the same.
This week on SmackDown, three names were set for the brand vs. brand matches at Survivor Series. First up, Kevin Owens and Jey Uso qualified for the men’s Survivor Series match by defeating Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan respect..
