Since arguing about AEW is such a hot topic around here, I figure I'd throw this out there: Is anyone, even huge fans of AEW, excited for this Cody/Shaq tag team match? They did one pre-tape with Shaq and Brandi and are coasting on Jade Cargill's anti-charisma in the world of professional wrestling. Cody's cooled ...

On the September 11th WWF Superstars, they promote Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow challenging the then-reigning tag champs The Steiners at house shows.

WALTER has become such a powerful force, I believe that he is going to have to come stateside to drop the title.

Your comment about Reigns and WALTER got to me. I really wish Vince would find a spot for WALTER on the WM card. Does WALTER have a role in the future on a WWE Big 2 brand?

Hello, A routine you'd see in Crockett-era matches was someone reaching for the ropes to break a hold and Tommy Young would kick his hands away, the logic being that the ropes are “out of bounds” for both wrestlers; you have to actually be in the ropes to break a hold, or something along those ...
