Double Shot: Two World Titles Change Hands Over The Weekend

June 12, 2022

Two for one. There are a lot of championships in wrestling but only some of them are at the top of the industry. Those top titles are among the most famous names in the history of the business and winning one of those titles can change a wrestler’s career trajectory. That was the case again this weekend, though it turns out that it happened twice in the span of two days. There was a pair of World Title changes over the weekend. On Saturday night, Trevor Murdoch won the vacant NWA World Title at Alwayz Ready, defeating Nick Aldis, Sam Shaw and Thom Latimer, becoming a two time champion. The title was vacated after Matt Cardona was forced to vacate the title due to a torn bicep. Second, Jay White won the IWGP World Heavyweight Title from Kazuchika Okada in the main event of New Japan’s Dominion event. Opinion: This is the kind of weekend that you do not get to see very often in wrestling and it makes things that much more interesting. Above all else, these are the kinds of title change..

Here’s Why Lacey Evans Did Not Appear On Monday Night Raw, Evans’ Funny Response

June 1, 2022

That’s a valid excuse? There are a lot of criticisms to be made about WWE and one of the bigger problems is that the company does not present a lot of the things that they advertise. This might be a segment or a match but it is rare to see a reason given for the change. It was the case again this week, and now we have a reason why, along with an official response. WWE had announced that Lacey Evans would be making her return this week on Monday Night Raw but Evans did not appear on the show, with no explanation or mention of Evans given. According to PWInsider.com, WWE decided to send Evans to the Coca Cola 600 NASCAR race on Sunday night as its Grand Marshall and she was unable to return in time for Monday Night Raw. Evans posted a tweet showing herself recovering from posing at the race, including icing down her biceps. What happens when you stay flexin?? GRAND MARSHAL duties got me laid up. @nascaronfox @wwe @cocacola @nascar it's all your fault!!!!! ?? pic.twitter.com/ZslTFa..

World Champion Confirms Torn Bicep, To Undergo Surgery

June 1, 2022

Ouch. There are all kinds of ways that wrestlers can get hurt and some of them can be rather devastating. Some of them can leave a wrestler on the sidelines for a long time, which can cause all kinds of other issues. A serious injury that leaves a wrestler hurt for a long time can mean some decisions have to be made about the future, which might be the case again. Over the weekend, NWA World Champion Matt Cardona posted a tweet saying that he thought he tore his bicep during a match against Blake Christian at a GCW event. Cardona has confirmed that he has since undergone an MRI and confirmed that his bicep has been torn and will require surgery. As a result, Cardona will be forced to miss some dates, though it is not known how long he will be out of action. It is also not known what will happen to the championships he currently holds. Got a MRI today. Bicep is torn. Surgery needed. Will unfortunately need to cancel some dates. — Matt Cardona (@TheMattCardona) May 31, 2022 Opinion: ..

Top Independent Star Suffers Possible Torn Bicep, Finishes Match Anyway

May 29, 2022

Ouch. There are all kinds of ways for a wrestler to be put on the shelf with an injury. It might be something that has built up over time and has to be corrected but there are also times when an injury pops up out of nowhere. Both are equally bad, but the latter can stop someone’s push cold. Unfortunately that seems to be the case again, as a top independent star may have been injured. NWA World Champion Matt Cardona revealed that he was injured during a match at GCW’s Downward Spiral event. The injury took place during a match against Black Christian though it is not clear when it happened during the match. Cardona tweeted that he thought he tore his bicep and was forced to miss his own after party as he flew to Orlando to get his arm looked at. There is no word on how long Cardona could be out, though he is scheduled to defend the NWA World Title against Nick Aldis on June 11. I think I tore my bicep and I still finished the match and beat you!!! https://t.co/PWzrCryEV6 — Matt Car..

Jim Ross gets a big entrance for his return, which is a great thing to see. Jurassic Express/Christian Cage/Lucha Bros vs. FTR/Matt Hardy/Private Party Wheeler takes Christian into the corner for a clean break so we hit the double bicep pose. Christian works on the arm for a bit so it’s off to Harwood to trade chops with Jungle Boy in the corner. Harwood gets caught in the wrong corner and it’s Christian coming in for a kick to the face. The jump over the top into the uppercut has Ha..

AEW Star Suffers Serious Injury, Out Indefinitely

November 20, 2021

That’s always a possibility. As talented as wrestlers can be, there is always the chance that an injury could take place. It might be just a quick fluke, but the threat is out there no matter how long or short a match may be. That is the kind of thing that can turn a career on its head, and unfortunately it seems to have done so again to a wrestler who hasn’t been back in the ring all that long. According to Wrestling Observer Live, AEW’s The Butcher has torn his bicep. The injury is said to have occurred this week on AEW Dynamite during a match between the Butcher and the Blade and Tomohiro Ishii/Orange Cassidy. There is no word on how long Butcher will be out of action. Butcher only returned to AEW in September, following a tour with his band, Every Time I Die. Butcher is a heck of a star.

Ric Flair Posts Gym Photo, Teases Return To Wrestling

August 13, 2021

One more final time? There are all kinds of wrestlers in the world but a lot of them have things in common. One of the biggest is the inability to finally hang up their boots and walk away. It is rare to see a wrestler who truly retires for good, as almost everyone makes a comeback of some sort. Now we might be seeing another one, which could get people talking for the wrong reasons. Free agent Ric Flair has posted a pair of tweets, including a photo of himself in the gym showing off his bicep and a video from a Monday Night Raw of himself saying he will never retire. While not confirmed, this could suggest that Flair, 72, is looking to return to wrestling, possibly in a physical role. There is nothing to suggest that Flair has already signed a new deal since his release from WWE last month. His most recent match took place on August 18, 2011. Damn Right! ??

WWE Star Undergoes Surgery, Out 6-8 Months

March 27, 2020

It’s as good a time as any. Wrestling has kind of been put on hold at the moment, or at least things have slowed way down in a hurry. There are only so many spots available on the main WWE television shows due to all of the changes taking place in a hurry and that is the kind of thing that can make for some surprise moves. In this case, one of those moves is not as positive as others. Injuries can take someone down at any given point in their career and there isn’t much that can be done about them. At some point, everyone is going to get hurt and there is no way around it. Some of these things are a lot worse than others as you never know how long they are going to be on the shelf as a result. That was the case with a surprise injury earlier this month and now someone is going on the shelf for a good while. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Rezar of the AOP is has undergone surgery to repair his torn bicep. The estimated recovery time for such an injury is six to eight ..

Major Rezar Health Update, Including Possible Recovery Time

March 12, 2020

That’s a bad result. You never know when you might see someone get taken out of the ring by an injury. It is the kind of thing that can happen at any given time and something that happens in a split second can put them on the shelf for a long time to come. Unfortunately that seems to be the case with a current WWE star and they could be out of action for a rather good while. One of the worst things that you can see in an injury is when it changes what happens to other wrestlers at the same time. If a wrestler is in a tag team, what happens to them can derail their partner’s career as well, especially if they are a team which does not work as well separated. That looks to be taking place now as a single injury could do damage to two wrestlers. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Rezar has suffered a torn bicep and will be out of action. At the moment it is not clear if he will need surgery, but if he does, he will be out of action for six to eight months. The injury took place on M..
