by

Tyler Breeze and Fandango were recently interviewed on Edge & Christian’s Podcast of Awesomeness where they discussed how Breeze he was nearly fired on several occasions. Fandango first explained how he and Breeze weren’t complacent and pitched gimmicks to get themselves on TV: “It was just example of, like, before tagging with Breezy, you weren’t really booked on TV, so it’s easy just to sit around every week at TV and being frustrated, but I think we utilized the [WWE].com guys really well, just kind of being proactive. And trying to almost, like, pitch our own little gimmick there and I think it’s just a good example of being proactive and just trying to make something happen. And I talk to Breeze all the time and we’re really proud of what we did because no one really gave that to us. We kind of put in the work for that.”
Breeze explains that Vince McMahon didn’t understand The Fashion Files. However, he asked that they keep it going due to the popularity it had on social media: “..

Batista Says WWE Ghosted Him On StruggleMania Plans

by

He waits alone? WrestleMania is built around the idea of drawing in the biggest names in wrestling for a short term appearance. Sure the full time wrestlers are going to play big roles, but the part time stars are the ones that matter the most. Celebrities have a history of playing major roles as well, and with good reason. If you can draw in people who don’t usually watch wrestling, you can get in a fresh and additional audience. Now one would think that combining those categories would be great, but WWE seems to disagree.
The idea worked very well here.

On taking part in the ECWA Super 8 Tournament: “Oh, I had a blast. That was definitely one of the things on my bucket list. I, unfortunately, lost in the first round to a great competitor, Anthony Greene. I’ve been wanting to have a singles match with him for a very long time. It was a wonderful experience just knowing the history of the tournament, getting to be a part of the opening ceremony and them talking about the previous winners. It was a great experience.”
On other items on that bucket list: “The list that I put out, there was like 1 or 2 things. I’m a big fan of wrestling tournaments. The Super 8 was one, the Young Lions cup for CHIKARA which I have done was another, King of Trios for CHIKARA is another one, CZW’s Best of the Best, and the IWA Mid South TPI Tournament.

Goldberg Talks How Bittersweet It Was To Be Inducted Into The WWE Hall Of Fame

by

2018 WWE Hall of Famer and former Universal Champion Goldberg was interviewed by the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling, where he discussed his bittersweet Hall of Fame induction. Goldberg first discussed his new show on the History Channel, titled ‘Forged in Fire: Knife or Death’: “It is something that is not out of the norm for me taking on things that I am not an expert at and try to sound like I know what I am talking about. It has given me a great opportunity to learn about something that I am not an expert at like I said. I kind of feed off of the people that are around me, the weapons expert and the blade expert and we’ve kind of got the best of everybody in each given discipline and I try to tie it all together with a little bit of excitement. And heck, my wife is a blacksmith and now I can have a conversation with my wife about forging knives. If I don’t gain anything at least I can talk at the dinner table coherently with my wife about that process.”
He continues, explaining wh..

Flip Gordon Will Have Another Chance To Get Booked For The ‘All In’ Show

by

This may be Flip's last chance.
Since the announcement that The Young Bucks and Cody are going to be presenting their self-financed show entitled 'All In', a number of wrestlers that have been booked for the show have been revealed. Names such as: Jay Lethal, Britt Baker, Chelsea Green, Joey Janela, the current IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada and others have been declared official for the show on September 1st.
One man that has been consistently and vigorously attempting to get on the card is Flip Gordon. Flip Gordon was regulary featured in numerous episodes of the 'Bullet Club's' 'Being The Elite' YouTube series where he would seemingly fit in with the rest of the crew but could not seem to garner the liking of the former ROH World Champion Cody.
“The American Nightmare” announced via Twitter today that Flip failed to gather the three full votes needed to get booked for 'All In' so he is providing the 26-year old with ano..
