March 9, 2023

Hand it over. There are different kinds of title reigns in wrestling and they can all end in different ways. Occasionally you will see them last for a very long time while others come and go rather quickly. It can be interesting to see how different title reigns go in various ways and now another one has come to an end after a few unique twists with everything involved.

And Done: AEW Stable Officially Disbands

March 8, 2023

That’s one less. Stables have been a common factor in wrestling for a very long time now as they are a concept that makes sense. Having a stable allows for several wrestlers to be able to get television time at once, often through a shared goal or characteristic. Occasionally you will also see wrestlers who are thrown together with nothing else to do, and now we are seeing one such stable go their separate ways. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: WWE And AEW Stars Reunite In New Music Video AEW’s QT Marshall has announced that the Factory, his AEW stable, has disbanded, citing hate from “experts” in wrestling.

January 3, 2023

That’s a serious issue. With so many wrestlers coming through the doors of various promotions over the years, there have been all kinds of reasons for wrestlers leaving the company.

He’s new. Wrestlers can have a very long shelf life in their careers as they are able to stay in the ring for several years. They can move up and down the card at various points in their career but at some point, someone has to get a special win over another star.

38 Year Old Former WWE Star Wants To Return To WWE After 15 Year Break

November 9, 2022

So she’s in. There have been a lot of returns to WWE in recent months with names coming from out of nowhere after some rather long hiatuses. Seeing these stars come back has been quite the game changer for WWE as it leaves fans wondering who might be back next. Now another former WWE star is throwing her name out there for what would be one heck of a surprise return. In a new interview with Just Alyx, former WWE star Kristal Marshall said that she would love to make a WWE return, even if it is just for one more match. While Marshall, 38, has not wrestled since since 2013, she said that she is in the best shape of her life. There is no word on if WWE is interested in bringing Marshall back. Marshall worked for WWE from 2005-2007 as a wrestler and backstage interviewer before appearing for Impact Wrestling in 2009-2010. Opinion: I don’t know if I can see WWE bringing Marshall back in, even for a one off match, but there is something interesting about the fact that WWE has brought in so..

Hangman Adam Page Seriously Injured on AEW Dynamite

October 19, 2022

You hate to see it. The main event of tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite featured Jon Moxley defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Hangman Adam Page. Unfortunately, the match had to be stopped due to a serious injury suffered by Page during the match. Page landed on his head after a spot in which he took a lariat from Moxley. As soon as Page hit the ground, his body seemed to go limp and he wasn’t able to move. The referee and ringside doctor, Doc Sampson made the decision to stop the match with about 10 minutes remaining on the show. During a commercial break, several officials took down the ropes in order to take out Page on a stretcher.

Let’s get to it. Buy-In: Hirooki Goto/Yoshi-Hashi vs. QT Marshall/Aaron Solo Solo and Hashi start things off with Hashi working on a headlock. A running shoulder drops Solo again so it’s off to Marshall vs. Goto, with the latter knocking Marshall around without much trouble. Solo comes back in and cheap shots Hashi though, allowing Marshall to get in a cheap shot on Goto. That lasts all of a few seconds before the big beatdown is on to put Solo back in trouble.

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??

What seemed to start off as little more than a big joke has turned into a pretty great run from Hook, who has smashed a variety of people without overstaying his welcome once.

AEW Wrestlers Refute Recent Report On Cody Rhodes

December 26, 2021

That doesn’t sound great. AEW has had a huge impact on the wrestling world and has done so under a very different method. While President Tony Khan seems to have the final say on just about everything, there are a group of wrestlers with quite a bit of authority of their own. However, there is a report that one of them might not be the friendliest backstage. Now some wrestlers are disagreeing with what was said. Earlier this week, PW Torch reported that AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes is not as approachable with the rest of the roster as CM Punk. After the report was published, several AEW wrestlers have come to Rhodes’ defense, including QT Marshall, Fuego del Sol, Preston Vance and more. All of them spoke about how Rhodes has helped them and offered advice when needed. PW Torch has not responded to the wrestlers’ comments. Idk who gives Wade his info! “Unlike Cody” … I wish Cody was unapproachable. So when he’s filming one of his 30 tv shows, I’d have his locker room in p..

Why AEW All Out Almost Looked Very Different Last Night

September 6, 2021

That would have been different. Pay per view is usually the be all and end all in wrestling as the shows are often the most important parts of a wrestling calendar. You will see the biggest names in their most prominent matches and the whole thing feels that much bigger. That was the case this weekend, but you almost saw a different card than what was originally planned. Sunday’s AEW All Out 2021 card featured Paul Wight defeating QT Marshall in a match that barely broke three minutes but was held just before the main event. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the match was in that spot due to concerns that the show could run long. Had the previous matches run longer, Marshall vs. Wight could have been cut from the card entirely. There was a road to the match.

The more things change. There are all kinds of talented wrestlers on the AEW roster and you never know when one of them is going to be given their big chance.

The Gunn Club had run to the ring to help Wight fight off the Factory, only to have Billy attack Wight with a chair. This included shots to the head and hip, while QT Marshall looked on, seemingly not knowing the attack was coming. Later in the show, Anna Jay made her return to the company following a five month layoff due to shoulder surgery. Following Tay Conti’s victory over Penelope Ford, the Bunny and Ford attacked Conti in the ring. Jay ran in for ..

AEW Star Says He Lied To Shaquille O’Neal To Set Up Table Spot

That might not have been wise. Celebrities have been a part of the wrestling world for decades now and that will be the case for a long time to come.
