Internet trolls. Dealing with them is second nature in pro wrestling. Some are super fans who think they know everything. Others are wrestlers who love screwing with the casual viewer. And then, there’s Randy Orton. Orton had many of us convinced with the possibility of going to All Elite Wrestling after his contract ended in 2020. He was even trolling on Instagram 2 weeks ago. https://www.instagram.com/p/B33tX4_ASA7/ We’ve reported this, and yesterday we released the story of Vince McMahon and WWE creative nixing his idea of putting a faction together with current WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champions, The Revival. Fresh off…

We love the big reveal in wrestling especially when speculation and suspicion run rampant on social media. While we are still patiently waiting for a CM Punk/WWE reunion, the company announced four new signees. Two of which will come to no surprise and much fanfare going forward.

For Shotzi, there have been rumors of her signing when a story went out she was offered an NXT contract by NXT General Manager…

We are in the season known as Survivor Series and WWE continues to make changes on a constant basis.

Announced via their social media accounts and on WWE.com, the company has stated this week’s episode of 205 Live will air from the current home of NXT, Full Sail University. From their website, they gave little information on what to expect on the show: “Don’t…

WWE is in the middle of much controversy right now. Between some shady deals, unhappy superstars and social media outbursts, the company is in some considerable hot water. One superstar who may also want to throw the Connecticut-based company further in the fire is a certain 3rd generation superstar. Randy Orton, who is looking to make his stay more comfortable, may have just placed one foot out the door. While we continue to be on the road to the RKO Decision 2020 in regards to what the Randy Orton plans to do next after his WWE contract ends, we get…

Fresh off a historic and landscape shaking WWE Friday Night Smackdown, 205 Live looks to follow up on the momentum of the evening as the cruiserweights are next up. The show starts with Aiden English and Tom Phillips introducing us to this week’s episode as they recover from the shock of events from the NXT superstars from Smackdown with introducing us to another NXT ‘breakout’, Isaiah ‘Swerve’ Scott. Isaiah Scott vs. Ariya Davari This budding rivalry has to be the hottest thing on the brand right now.

Today, they continue their rise. Chris DeJoseph may be well known as a former writer of WWE, spent the past 4 years being the man in charge behind…

In the good book, they spoke of two kingdoms, Sodom and Gomorrah. In the world of professional wrestling, we speak of battles between two sides. Not just good and bad, or heel and face, but between men and women looking for a win. That defines Beyond Wrestling’s event that took place this past Saturday, October 12th in Ashbury Park, New Jersey.  Wheeler Yuta vs. Kimber Lee We start off hot with two independent superstars I know well, the veteran Kimber Lee and one of my favorite standouts from his time in MLW, Wheeler Yuta. I have not always been a…

We all love comebacks. It makes for great entertainment when someone brings back a character you’ve enjoyed and love. Today, a beloved superstar has returned to wrestling… kind of. Matt Sydal, who has wrestled all over the world since leaving WWE, is returning to EVOLVE. And due to WWE’s relationship with the superstar-churning independent company, Sydal gets to resurrect his old gimmick. As stated on EVOLVE’s official website: Evan Bourne was one of the WWE’s most exciting stars. He was known for his spectacular “Air Bourne” finisher of the top rope. He rose to being WWE Tag Team Champions along…

Pro wrestling is at an all-time high and what a time to be alive. Between some of the best matches, heel turns, face turns, new signings, television deals, and Twitter beefs, its truly a new golden era in the business.

Last week, Jim Ross…
