Last month, Fozzy; Chris Jericho’s band had a concert that was part of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota alongside other bands and performers. The show did follow guidelines, but it turns out the originally thought 7 out of 450,000 people at the show had become ill with Covid-19 has now grown to 250,000 cases. Over the last month this has now been reported by Andrew Friedson who is the Professor of Economics at the University of Colorado Denver. It was reported originally that there weren’t as many cases at the time the show took place. That being said,…
There has been a war brewing between both AEW and NXT from the beginning of AEW. With NXT picking their airing day as Wednesday the same of AEW. There has been speculation that this was just done to hurt AEW’s ratings and not to build NXT as a new fresh brand. It looks like NXT are changing their mind about the day they are holding their show. It has been confirmed by Wrestlevotes that NXT are currently discussing changing the day of the show. This is due to the fact that NXT ratings have started to improve after not going…
There is usually a big new star that makes a surprise appearance at an AEW PPV with the last one being Brain Cage and now it’s the Buy-In match. This time around though they haven’t really mentioned a surprise appearance coming to the Buy-In. With most of the competitors already fighting over the last couple of weeks in the shows. They have mentioned that a surprise wrestler will make an appearance. The fact that they haven’t mentioned much does feel pretty weird as they usually promote it. Making it hard to see if the wrestler is going to be a…
Brock Lesnar has quickly become one of the biggest free agents out there. At the moment there’s a lot of speculation on where he’s going to end up. There’s also a massive event coming up in AEW called All Out. Now that we know the Buy-In event will include one more unknown wrestler. It really could be Brock Lesnar. That being said, Brock Lesnar is getting up there in age. Making it maybe his last chance to go back into MMA which has been teased by Brock for a very long time. There is a surprise entry in the Buy…
Why did you want to become a wrestler? Who was your idol growing up? My idol when I was 5 years old was Hulk Hogan. As soon as I saw him on the TV screen as a youngster I was hooked and a wrestling fan for life. I knew since that age that I wanted to be a professional wrestler when I grew up. I knew I had to make it happen. Who is your favourite wrestler to work with? What’s your favourite match? I can’t narrow it down to one. There’s a long list of guys who I’ve…
We have already had some WWE Legends appear on AEW in the short period of time they have been around. They have had DPP, Bret Hart, Billy Gunn and Chris Jerecho, a future legend who was one of the foundations that built AEW to the height it is at today. Now with rumours that a lot of people have spoken to AEW at some point. There’s no doubt that more legends will appear at AEW at some point and maybe even as future AEW Legends. Mick Foley Through the years, Mick Foley has played a small part in WWE with…
At the moment, after Raw, the future does look promising with a match set up with the top heel in the business; Randy Orton. That being said, there are two setbacks that have already happened. Even though Keith Lee himself has mentioned these are small setbacks. This being the new outfit and the changed theme tune. We’ll give him the benefit of the doubt here and think that he’s right. He is already in the main event but… The debut of Keith Lee was solid; he got put over by commentary. Even though he did technically lose through DQ, it’s…
The match between both Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton was a decent match. Although the finish was another story. Altogether it was a good match. There is still the argument of should Randy Orton be in the main event at this stage? With Randy being a 14 time champion, it feels like it’s time for him to be permanently out of the main event picture for the championship. It does feel like his best work At the moment, Randy Orton feels like he’s in the right place but he definitely shouldn’t get the belt. He should take the loss and…
There could be a lot of reasons why ratings have dropped across WWE but there is one thing that proves that it is WWE’s fault. With NXT’s rating doing considerably well, the brand’s pre-recorded matches are being held in a very small area in a university with no fans. It’s still doing pretty well in the rating. Then there’s Raw and Smackdown with ratings dropping most weeks. They do have spikes here and there when they do something new like the THUNDERDOME and UNDERGROUND, but the rating spikes don’t last, let’s have a look and see why this happens. The…
Matt Cardona (Zack Ryder) made his debut on AEW while saving Cody from a Dark Order attack. Then had his first match up against the Dark Order in a tag team match with Cody. Not long after this, he confirmed that he signed to do a couple more matches. Although he has said hell be staying AEW after that time. This opens up a lot of opportunities for the Star that never really had the chance to shine. It feels like Matt Cardona would be perfect for the TNT belt. With Cody current holding the belt, could we see…
