He’s available. There are some incredibly talented wrestlers throughout the world who do not get to appear on the big stage that often. While they might appear on some very big shows, they do not make regular appearances in either WWE or AEW. Those are the stages where wrestlers will have the biggest audiences, and now a top international star is able to go anywhere he chooses. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: Possible Sign That Naomi Is Done With WWE Earlier this year, former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Jay White lost a Loser Leaves Japan match, signaling that he was done with New Japan Pro Wrestling. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, White is now officially a free agent, as his deal with New Japan expired on February 28.

In case you want to know. BetOnline has released its early betting odds for AEW’s Revolution 2023 pay-per-view, which takes place on Sunday, March 5. You can see the odds below: AEW World Heavyweight Title Match: MJF (champion) -5000 vs. Bryan Danielson +900 AEW TNT Championship Match: Samoa Joe (champion) +350 vs. Wardlow -500 Texas Death Match: Jon Moxley +650 vs. Hangman Page -300 Singles Match (Everyone is Banned From Ringside): Chris Jericho +250 vs. Ricky Starks -400 AEW Women’s World Championship Match: Jamie Hayter (champion) -1000 vs. Ruby Soho +350 vs. Saraya +500 AEW Trios Title Match: The Elite (champions) -200 vs. The House of Black +150 For reference, a moneyline bet is when you bet on only one team to win.

The -110 means you’ll need to bet $110 to get a $100 payout if the Steelers win. Editor’s Opinion: So, The Elite, J..
We have some sad news to report today as Lanny Poffo, who was known as “The Genius” in WWE has passed away at the age of 68. From WWE.com: The son of Angelo Poffo and younger brother of WWE Hall of Famer “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Lanny Poffo had a style all his own. Arriving in WWE in 1985 alongside his brother, “Leaping” Lanny Poffo was one of the first high-flyers in WWE. While he achieved some success as a fan favorite reading his own poetry and throwing Frisbees to the crowd, he reached new heights as The Genius while managing Mr. Perfect. Lanny had the honor of inducting his brother into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015. You can see a clip of that below: [This post contains video, click to play] Hacksaw Jim Duggan also reported this news; he did so on his Instagram account: With a very, very heavy heart, I’ve been asked to let everyone know about the passing of our friend and colleague Lanny Poffo, The Genius.

He’s up next? The rise of AEW has changed the way the wrestling world works, as wrestlers are no longer stuck picking between WWE and everything else. AEW now offers another large scale promotion where wrestlers can go and showcase themselves with more exposure. It means that a wrestler becoming a free agent means a lot, and that is the case again with a top international star. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Farewell: Wrestling Legend Says His Career Is “Probably Over” According to Fightful Select, former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion is expected to leave New Japan Pro Wrestling when his contract expires. While there is no firm date for when his deal is up, it is believed to be in the near future. White will be courted by both WWE and AEW, with a source saying that WWE will come out on top. On February 11, White is scheduled to face Hikuleo in a Loser Leaves Japan match. Neither White nor New Japan have responded to inquiries about the situation. White is one of the best in the world. Che..
He has some leverage. Wrestling has a long history of having athletes from other sports make appearances, often to great success. It makes sense for a wrestling company to want to bring in other athletes to see what happens when they step inside a wrestling ring. WWE has done this as well, but now one major sports name has an interesting way of looking at how he would be presented in the company. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Next Time? WWE Champion Pulled From Live Event Last month, a story broke about WWE wanting boxing’s Heavyweight Champion of the World Tyson Fury to appear at the Royal Rumble and then WrestleMania 39, though Fury is dealing with visa issues. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, one source is saying that Fury is unwilling to put people in WWE over or even look vulnerable during his appearances. There is no word on whether he would be able to be booked in a short Royal Rumble appearance that validates what the money WWE would have to pay him. There is no word ..
New home? WWE has so many different kinds of wrestlers around its roster that the stars can be spread across different unique shows. Those shows would be Monday Night Raw, SmackDown and NXT and the shows do not interact very often. While wrestlers will occasionally cross over, they rarely jump from one to the other full time. This time though, WWE is at least thinking about a move. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: One More? Drew McIntyre Addresses Future World Title Plans According to Xero News on Twitter, there has been some “small” talk of sending Judgment Day to SmackDown in the upcoming WWE Draft. The brands are expected to be “heavily switched” though there have been talks of SmackDown staying “stable heavy”. There is no word on when the next Draft will take place, as WWE has yet to mention anything about a new edition. The most recent Draft was held in October 2021. There has been small talk of sending Judgment Day to SmackDown in the draft when it happens, the brands will be heavily sw..
They have a plan. Wrestling has a long history of having athletes from other sports coming in to try their hand in the squared circle. It offers an easy concept for fans to grasp and might bring some other fans from the other sport over with them. Now it seems that WWE has their eye on bringing back a champion from another sport who has worked with them in the past. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: It Was Messy: Four Top Stars Miss WWE Live Event In “Complete Nightmare” According to the US-Sun, WWE wants World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Tyson Fury to work with them in the new year but his visa issues are causing issues. The issue with the Fury has been linked to Daniel Kinahan, an Irish mob boss, who founded Fury’s representation company. Both WWE and Fury’s legal team are trying to work the situation out. The plan would be for Fury appear at the Royal Rumble to set up a match at WrestleMania. There is no word on what Fury would be doing or who he would be facing. Fury has worked with WWE be..
That could have been interesting. Throughout its history, wrestling has drawn athletes from other sports into its ranks. It makes sense, as wrestling needs to keep its rosters fresh and bringing in other sports’ stars can help make the process easier. In recent years, mixed martial arts has served as a pipeline to wrestling, with several stars coming from the sport. Now a new story is being told about how an MMA fighter/wrestler almost had to prove himself. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Here’s Looking At You: Wrestling Fans React To Roman Reigns Breaking The Fourth Wall Back at Crown Jewel 2019, world boxing champion Tyson Fury made his in-ring wrestling debut, defeating Braun Strowman via countout. Brock Lesnar was also on the show, where he defeated former UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez to retain the WWE Title. During a 2019 interview with Fury’s brother Tommy, IFL TV host Kugan Cassius revealed that one of Tyson’s corner men nearly got in a backstage fight with Lesnar. The corn..
Moving up in the world. As previously reported, William Regal is returning to WWE after his contract expires with AEW this month. However, it seems he will be returning to a different role than before. According to a report from PWInsider, Regal will have a Vice President position in the company when he returns, but it is not yet known what his official title/role will be. He will return to the company beginning in January 2023. Regal was written off of AEW television a couple of weeks ago when MJF knocked him out with the same brass knuckles that Regal gave him to win the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. Further according to Tony Khan, Regal can return to WWE and coach but not be an on-air personality in 2023. Editor’s Opinion: This is great news for everyone involved and a perfect role for him. He is one of the greatest wrestling minds of the last 40 years and everybody that is around him will benefit from his experience. He knows how to work with talent, executives, and peopl..
AEW World Heavyweight Champion MJF was recently interviewed by TODAY and discussed a number of topics. Among them was the character that he plays on television, being a Jewish athlete, his future in pro wrestling, and more. Below are some highlights from the interview: On the character that MJF plays compared to real life: “This is me 100% of the time, 365 days a year. It doesn’t change. You can ask people in my industry — and people have — and then fans are like, ‘Oh, these other people are just keeping up the ruse.’ This is me,” he says. On being a Jewish athlete: “How much of that is deep-rooted in antisemitism and how much of that is deep-rooted in jealousy and wishing that these people were in the position I’m in? I don’t know. But what I do know is it doesn’t make it OK,” he says. “It’s just very funny to me that now all of a sudden the conversations being started because Kanye West decided to speak out on the underbelly of society — antisemitism has always been there, alwa..
That would be a fight. Wrestling is a unique sport as while it is presented as a legitimate fight, the finishes are pre-determined and the wrestlers are tasked with working together to make the match work as well as possible. However, there are also questions about who would win should these matches be legitimate contests. Now one legend is chiming in on who he thinks could beat a top WWE star. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Braun Strowman Gets Slapped Hard During WWE Dark Match During an interview with Wrestling Shoot Interviews, former WWE and WCW star the Barbarian was asked what would happen in a fight between Brock Lesnar and Haku. Barbarian said that he felt if the fight was structured with rules, Lesnar would win, but if it was a bar fight with no rules and both in their primes, Haku would be able to take Lesnar. Haku is often cited as the toughest wrestler in history, while Lesnar is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion and NCAA Heavyweight Wrestling Champion. These are some tal..
