His other talents. Wrestlers are incredible performers as they have to mix together athleticism, action, drama and occasionally comedy, romance, intrigue and more, all in front of a live crowd. That is a heck of a trick to pull off and it should be praised even more than it already is. Every now and then you find someone who is even more talented than most and that is the case with a current WWE star.
R-Truth has been in wrestling for a long time now but he also has another passion which may be even bigger. For more than twenty years, R-Truth has also maintained a music career, which includes him performing his own entrance music. His music career has been around for a very long time with R-Truth often releasing various songs and music videos. That is the case again, but in a bit of a different way.
This is a different one. Check out what R-Truth has gotten into this time:

On last week’s episode of Raw, Day 2 of the 2020 WWE Draft took place. While there were some shocking moves on Day 1, the landscape changed even more on Raw, with some moves that will allow for some new and very exciting feuds to close out the year and lead up to Wrestlemania 37.
Let’s get into it with some of the bigger moves:
“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt moves to Raw
I can get behind this. I’ve said many times that I believe that “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt will end up becoming the greatest character of our generation, and I’m guessing that is that they are eventually going to have him challenge for WWE Championship. However, WWE has ensured that this move will work for the time being, because is Alexa Bliss is also now on the red brand. That HAD to happen.

The Street Profits to Smackdown
Swap-for-swap with The New Day for the tag team championships, which is fine. My only fear is that they will immediately put them into a program with Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro, who were drafted to Sma..

We’re almost up to Bound For Glory and that means it’s time to add in a few more matches before building up everything that has already been set. The show is still lacking that one big match to really make it feel special and I’m not sure what could fill in that role. That’s kind of a problem on the biggest show of the year. Let’s get to it.
Opening recap.
Moose is yelling at Scott D’Amore for being put in a match in an undisclosed location. D’Amore reminds him that it will also be against an opponent who doesn’t work here for a title he never won. Moose has no time for this and storms off.
We cut to EC3 saying Moose is controlling his narrative. EC3 holds up the title and we cut to Moose, saying he knows where he needs to go.

Back where she belongs. The Women’s Revolution has done so much good for WWE over the last few years that it is hard to imagine that anything could have been done otherwise before. Women’s wrestling has become a featured part of any WWE show and that is likely to be the case for a long time to come. The biggest star has been missing for a few months now, though there might be some plans coming in the future.
The Women’s Revolution began with the debut of three women from NXT, including Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks and Charlotte. While the other two have cone on to become stars in their own right, Lynch has become the biggest star women’s wrestling has ever seen. That is the kind of thing that you can’t exactly plan, but you are certainly going to miss her when she is gone. Lynch is currently out of action on maternity leave, but that does not last forever and WWE seems to be making preparations.
According to Ringsidenews.com and confirmed by Talksport.com, Lynch was backstage at this wee..

That’s a unique read. There are some wrestlers who pop in and out of the industry from time to time and others who are around for the long haul. On top of them, you have wrestlers who are absolute lifers who can survive no matter where they go. Some of them have the most fascinating stories in all of wrestling and now we are going to get one of the better stories around.
Over the course of the last thirty years, Chris Jericho has become one of the biggest stars in the history of professional wrestling. He has wrestled in almost every major wrestling promotion of the modern era and has held more titles than he knows what to do with over the years. Jericho has been everywhere but he has also kept track of his matches. Now we are going to be getting to see what he has done in incredible detail.
During the most recent edition of his Saturday Night Special, Jericho announced a new book which will cover his entire career up to his 2,725th match, which will take place on Wednesday’s AEW Dyn..

So close yet so far. Wrestling is the most unique form of entertainment in the world as it is some weird mixture of action, drama, comedy, romance and theater, plus the athletic side of it adding an entirely different layer. That makes for some of the most fascinating viewing to be found anywhere, but also an incredibly interesting industry for outsiders to look into. That was the case with a pretty big show, but now it has been cut off just before its ending.
Back in 2017, GLOW debuted on Netflix and offered a different look at the world of wrestling. This was a very unique take on the industry as GLOW was based on the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling series from the 1980s, which was more of a show about wrestling than a wrestling show. The Netflix series has been well received and has even won a few Emmy Awards, but the series is not going to have the best finale.
According to Deadline.com, Netflix has decided to cancel the series, meaning there will be no fourth and final season. The ..

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be?

It’s at least a double main event tonight and you could argue a triple with Kronik vs. Goldberg, Sting vs. Jeff Jarrett and Booker T. defending the World Title against Scott Steiner. After that though the card falls off a cliff and hits every single rock on the way down. Let’s get to it.
We open with the fans being polled about the handicap match. We..

Call them warm bodies? A commentary team is one of the most important parts of any wrestling show. You need the right people calling the show to point the fans in the right direction and convey the messages and stories that the company is pushing. This is easier said than done and the wrong team can make things all the more complicated. That was kind of the case on Sunday, at least in person.
NXT is in a strange place at the moment as their three person commentary booth is not only changing due to some new members, but those members are rarely always in the same place. Beth Phoenix has been doing commentary from her home in North Carolina due to Coronavirus scares and Wade Barrett has not been present for some of the recent shows. However, NXT had a solution on Sunday, though it was a completely bizarre one.
According to the Local Competitor Twitter account, which identifies non-contracted wrestlers who appear as extras on wrestling shows, NXT used two stand-ins for Phoenix and Barre..

They have good taste. NXT is one of the more unique wrestling promotions in the world as they are not only their own wrestling company but also the official developmental program for WWE. That means their job is to get people ready to move up to the main roster, which can make things all the more complicated for everyone involved. At some point though, you are going to see someone moving up to the main roster, but first of all they need to get noticed. Someone has indeed gotten noticed down in NXT and in a good way.
On Sunday, NXT held its latest Takeover event, which came only six weeks after its predecessor, meaning there was very little time in between shows. NXT was going to need a heck of a performance from a lot of people to make it work, meaning the champions were going to be under the gun in a hurry. That was absolutely the case and one of them certainly got noticed.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Damian Priest’s match against Johnny Gargano at Takeover: 31 was design..

That makes it official. We are less than a month away from Hell In A Cell, which is one of the bigger themed shows that WWE offers in any given year. The show’s namesake match is what matters the most on the show and WWE needs to present something special to make the matches work as well as they can. One match has already been announced and now we have the second ready to go.
One of the biggest stories in WWE this year has been the feud between WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton. The two have been feuding for several months now with McIntyre defeating him at both Summerslam and Clash Of Champions. This has not set well with Orton, who attacked a group of legends last week, forcing McIntyre to make a decision. Now that decision has been made.
This week on Monday Night Raw, McIntyre accepted Orton’s challenge to meet him inside the Cell for the WWE Championship at Hell In A Cell. Orton had teased the match on last week’s show but only officially made the challenge this week. Mc..

Tell me more. There are so many people in WWE at the moment that it is not easy to find something for all of them to do. That has been a problem in the past and it still is even to this day. There are all kinds of stables throughout the roster to give the people as much time as they can, and now one of the bigger ones has gotten a very surprising new member added to the lineup.
Over the last two months or so, Retribution has become a major problem for Monday Night Raw. The group of masked wrestlers has attacked members of the roster and laid waste to several of them but only lately have things started to have a direction. The team still does not have a clear leader, but that changed this week in quite the surprise twist as a new member was revealed.
This was shocking. Check out how Retribution got a lot bigger in a hurry:

The road to the Cell continues as we are now less than three weeks away from the next pay per view. There is little secret to the fact that we are coming up on Randy Orton vs. Drew McIntyre III inside the Cell for McIntyre’s title, though the match has not been announced just yet. Let’s get to it.
Randy Orton is in the back where he talks about how he could have left Clash Of Champions as WWE Champion. Instead, he left in an ambulance. He remembers a little bit about the match, which included Big Show, Christian and Shawn Michaels all interfering and Ric Flair driving the ambulance away. All Orton felt was excruciating pain and then the next night, Drew McIntyre stood in front of the four of them and celebrated.
That sight made him sick and then the four of them played poker all night. It was too much for Orton, so he turned out the lights, grabbed some..
