First and foremost, let me make it clear that things seem to be ok.
That’s a scary situation. Wrestlers are a weird cross between some of the most unique people in the world and normal people like you and I. There are going to be good days and bad days, but at the end of the day, their health is what matters most. Some wrestlers are in better shape than others, but on occasion bad things can happen out of nowhere, which was the case this week.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com, Scott Steiner collapsed at Friday night’s Impact Wrestling tapings and was rushed to the hospital. Steiner was filming a backstage segment when he collapsed, though it is not clear what happened. Since then, both Scott D’Amore and Tommy Dreamer have tweeted from the hospital, saying that Steiner was “doing well” and “is ok”. Steiner was taking part in a TNA themed episode of Impact Wrestling and is scheduled to be part of the TNA themed event over WrestleMania weekend.
Things are looking rough for S..

On a previous episode of Raw, Seth Rollins and Murphy lost their Tag Team Championships to the Street Profits, due to Kevin Owens delivering a Stunner to Rollins. This led to Montez Ford performing his Frog Splash on Rollins, and pinning him for the win.
The feud between Owens and Rollins have been going on for quite some time. In fact, Rollins’ feud with Owens actually led Rollins to turn heel, although Rollins’ heel turn was also prompted by the fans turning on him during his feud with The Fiend Bray Wyatt.
Now, Rollins leads a stable, which also includes Murphy and the AOP. Owens contributing to Rollins & Murphy’s loss increases the rumors that the two will be competing against each other at WrestleMania 36. However, where does this leave Rollins’ tag team with Murphy?
According to The Citizens Voice, Rollins & Murphy are scheduled to compete in a tag team match against The Street Profits. This will be at the Mohegan Sun Arena on May, 11, over a month after WrestleMania.

Who else would it be? It might be a few months into the new decade, but there is still time for a few more accolades over the last ten years. There are a lot of awards to consider and a lot of organizations have a lot of things to say about wrestling. This includes arguably the most prestigious award of all over this span of time: Wrestler of the Decade. Now we know one of the biggest winners.
Wrestling magazines used to be the go to source for wrestling information. There were all kinds of magazines out there and while some of them were a little more accurate than others, they were the most important form of journalism in the wrestling world. They have gone downhill since the rise of the internet, but there are a few left, with one of them having quite an important award of its own.
Pro Wrestling Illustrated has named AJ Styles its Wrestler of the Decade for the 2010s. Styles wrestled around the world over the last decade, winning World Titles in Impact Wrestling, New Japan and WWE,..

It’s about that time. Earlier this year at the Royal Rumble, Edge made his shocking return to the ring. It took almost nine years for him to get back to WWE and it was one of the biggest surprises that WWE has presented in years. The return made it clear that he would be doing a lot more for WWE in the future but things were a little derailed again. Now, we might know his next step.
The night after the Royal Rumble, Randy Orton attacked Edge and put him back on the shelf with a Conchairto. Orton would eventually explain that he attack Edge to prevent Edge from making the same mistakes that Orton had. This was capped off by an RKO to Edge’s wife Beth Phoenix, which meant it was time for some revenge. Now we know when Edge might start getting back at Orton.
WWE.com has announced that Edge will be back on Monday Night Raw on the March 9 edition. This will be Edge’s first appearance on the show since January 27. There is no word on what Edge will do on the show, though he has been rumore..

It’s the go home show for the Elimination Chamber and we have the two Chamber matches set up. One of them will be a tag team edition, so this week we get to see the six teams fight in another form of an elimination match. This time it’s a gauntlet match with the winners getting to enter the Chamber last. Let’s get to it.
We open with a recap of John Cena’s return last week, with the Fiend appearing to set up their Wrestlemania match.
Opening sequence.
Here are Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross in the ring to talk about the Hall of Fame. We hear about this year’s class and, after calling out the Kabuki Warriors for a Women’s Tag Team Title match, bring out the NWO (Sean Waltman, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall this time) for a chat. Nikki says that she’s been a big NWO fan for life and takes a picture with the three of them. Bliss what they should call Waltman, who says “Hall of Fa..

The Crockett Cup is starting to look and that could mean things are starting to pick up. We still have over a month to go before the show but Marty Scurll is coming for the NWA World Title, which could make for a heck of a title match. The tournament is coming up as well so let’s get to it.
Opening recap.
Opening sequence.
Sean Mooney previews the show, including two title matches.
TV Title: Zicky Dice vs. Ricky Starks Dice is challenging and takes Starks to the mat without much trouble. Starks gets knocked down again and this time Dice wraps his ribs around the post. Back in and the chinlock doesn’t last long so Dice chokes on the ropes instead. A Falcon Arrow gives Starks two but Dice hits the Snake Rattle and Roll. Starks is in the ropes at two so Dice walks around and points to his head. ..

You don’t want to make him mad. There are a lot of influential people in WWE and some of those people are more influential than others. On occasion, you find someone whose statements can change things in the blink of an eye and that is the kind of thing that you have to notice. If someone that important isn’t happy in WWE, it can cause some shakeups. WWE may have angered someone they wish they hadn’t.
Just shy of five years ago, women’s wrestling changed forever in the form of the Women’s Revolution. The moment changed everything, but it was not the first time that women mattered in wrestling. There were several women who brought women’s wrestling a long way and they deserve some attention. WWE tried to do that for Women’s History month but one name was left out, and a legend wasn’t happy.
On Monday, WWE released a gallery of forty five former Women’s Champions. Michelle McCool was not on the list and brought it up on Twitter and complained about the situation, saying that while she ..

That’s a good thing to hear. Injuries are the kind of things that are going to hurt every wrestler at some point in their careers. Wrestling is a violent, physical sport at its core and there is no way around the injury bug. Some of these can be a lot worse than others, but there are injuries that can put you on the shelf for the better part of a year. One of the most popular wrestlers in WWE history was on the shelf with such an injury and now he is ready to come back.
There are very few names in the history of the WWE as popular as Jeff Hardy. His strange mixture of talent and charisma propelled him to the top of the company and that is the kind of thing that almost no one has ever been able to do. Hardy has not been around all that much as of late though, due to a combination of a knee injury and legal issues. One of those will be cleared up shortly after WrestleMania, but the other has already been cleared up.
Hardy was a guest on this week’s edition of Backstage and announced th..

It’s one of the biggest honors there is in WWE. Wrestling is built around titles, but with so many of them, they may not have quite the same impact that they had before. It’s almost harder to not win a title than it is to win one these days, but there are other accolades to win. One of the biggest around today is a career achievement, and we now know someone else who will be receiving such a thing.
We are in the middle of the build towards WrestleMania 36 and that means a lot of things are going on at once. This includes the announcements of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2020, which is quite the honor. I know there are some questionable members of the Hall of Fame but at the same time, it still feels like a big deal for the wrestlers involved. Now, another one will be receiving that honor.
This week on WWE Backstage, John Bradshaw Layfield was announced as the newest entrant into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2020. Layfield is a former WWE Champion and has held almost every champions..

That’s a pretty negative endorsement. Whether you are a fan of his or not, there is no denying that Vince McMahon is the ultimate power in all of professional wrestling. Whatever he decides is going to take place is what is going to take place and he can make or break a career in the blink of an eye. That might be the case at the moment, and there are going to be some unhappy fans.
If there is one thing that NXT has accomplished in WWE, it is bringing in all kinds of new talent to the company. There have been so many big names and great wrestlers who have been brought into the company and those names are making their way up to the main roster. That being said, there is so much talent that not everyone is going to get a huge push, and we might know who falls into that weaker category.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, McMahon has given up on Ricochet, based on Ricochet losing to Riddick Moss on Monday Night Raw. There was no specific reason given for McMahon giving up, though it ..

So there was an episode of Dark on Friday but where would we be without getting to see the other match that took place before Revolution? Ignoring the big question of why we needed another one aside from having this one match for this show, there are a lot of interviews to go with the single match. Let’s get to it.
We look at Colt Cabana saving SCU from the Dark Order on the pre-show.
Colt Cabana has been friends with the people who run this company and he’s glad to be here, even though he hasn’t signed a contract. If the Dark Order wants to do this, let’s go. He’s got SCU’s backs and the Elite’s backs if they want him.
A fired up Christopher Daniels doesn’t think there is an Exalted One behind the Dark Order. SCU and Cabana are ready to fight the Dark Order.
Quick look at Nyla Rose retaining the Women’..

That’s going to get some people talking. Wrestling is one of the most fascinating industries that you will ever find. With so many people coming and going and all of the stories that have taken place both in and out of the ring, wrestling has all kinds of stories that can be told. There are a lot of wrestling fans who know the better stories, but there are a lot of people who don’t. Some of those stories are going to be told to a bigger audience in the near future.
Last year, a television series called Dark Side of the Ring debuted, offering a look at some of the better (and not so much better) known stories in the wrestling world. The series of documentaries looked at some stories that a lot of fans have heard of before but the key idea was offering them to the masses for the first time. The show was a hit and now it is time to see where they are going next.
On Tuesday, Vice TV announced details for the second season of Dark Side of the Ring, including the subjects of the nine episo..
