    The Berzerker Receives Probation For DUI

    Posted: 16 Jul 2019 11:39 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/the-berzerker-receives-probation-for-dui/


    Former-WWF Superstar John The Berzerker Nord has been sentenced to five
    years probation, under the the condition that he avoid driving and stay in restrictive housing, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune. The sentence comes after Nord was arrested for driving under the influence of
    painkillers.

    Nord has been arrested for the crime seven times. Nord will have to make
    visits to the court to update the judge on his condition.

    Nord was best known for his time with WWE (then WWF) in the early 90s, as
    the viking character known as The Berzerker. He got his start with a
    lumberjack character, Yukon John, in the AWA, eventually going to WWF, and
    then AJPW & WCW under his real name.

    MJF vs. Teddy Hart Set For MLW NYC

    Posted: 16 Jul 2019 10:21 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/mjf-vs-teddy-hart-set-for-mlw-nyc/


    MLW issued the following:

    MJF challenges Teddy Hart for the World Middleweight Title in NYC next
    Thursday

    Can MJF complete the Dynastys sweep of the Hart Foundation?

    One-half of the new World Tag Team Champions MJF wants more gold and on
    July 25, the bigmouth New Yorker will look to become a double champion when
    he challenges for the title he never lost in the ring: the World
    Middleweight Championship.

    MLW today announced a World Middleweight Title Bout: World Middleweight Champion Teddy Hart vs. MJF for MLW: Never Say Never 19 at the
    Melrose Ballroom in New York City on July 25. The event will be a MLW
    FUSION TV taping for beIN SPORTS.

    Tickets start at $20 at http://www.MLWTickets.com.

    The first-ever World Middleweight Champion MJF has never gotten over Teddy
    Hart walking around with his World Middleweight Championship. So much so,
    MJF has run his mouth calling Hart a fraud and thats one of the more
    polite terms used when the trust fund kid trolls Hart on social media and
    in the press.

    Hart will be attempting a record-setting 5th title defense when the two
    clash in New York City Thursday July 25.

    The Dynasty enter the title bout with significant momentum. In the last
    month, the Dynasty all have won championship gold in MLW: Alex Hammerstone winning the National Openweight Championship and MJF along with Holliday defeating the Hart Foundation in a ladder match in Chicago.

    The last time MJF and Hart battled for the championship, Hart was the
    victor only for Richard Holliday to crash Harts post match interview and
    along with MJF pummel the champ.  Thus began the era of the Dynasty.

    Nearly a half year later, the landscape has changed. Dynasty has defeated
    the Hart Foundation for the World Tag Team Championships. Brian Pillman was defeated in the National Openweight Finals.  Now, MJF looks to clinch the elusive World Middleweight Title. Can he?

    Find out LIVE in New York July 25 at the Melrose Ballroom as MLW presents
    an MLW Fusion TV taping (buy tickets). The card has a 7pm start time.

    Another major announcement is set to come on SmackDown tonight from former
    WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan who has promised he will be making a
    career-altering announcement.

    In terms of in-ring competition, two major womens matches have been
    confirmed ahead of time with Ember Moon and a mystery partner teaming up to take on Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.

    As well as that, the Womens Tag Team Championships will finally be defended
    as The IIconics are set to square off against the Kabuki Warriors.

    As always, ProWrestling.com will be providing complete, LIVE coverage of
    WWE Smackdown beginning tonight at 8pm EST, so be sure to join us then!

    recent weeks, including during the aftermath of his win over Dolph Ziggler
    at Extreme Rules on Sunday. Apparently, Shane has decided it’s time to air out any and all grievances. Shane-O-Mac has vowed to host a town hall

    Daniel Bryan to Make "Career-Altering Announcement" on Smackdown

    Posted: 16 Jul 2019 04:19 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/daniel-bryan-to-make-career-altering-announcement-on-smackdown-tonight/


    Daniel Bryan may have completely lost his mind Sunday night at Extreme
    Rules, after losing the Smackdown Tag Team Championships to the New Day in
    a triple threat match.

    The clearly deranged Superstar was interviewed backstage after the match
    and seemed to be having some sort of minor mental breakdown. Bryan stated
    that he tried to elevate the entire WWE tag team division, but hes now
    realized that the division is a lost cause, and in order to save the
    planet, he has to go where Daniel Bryan has not gone before.

    In a preview for tonights episode of Smackdown Live, WWE is advertising
    that Bryan will be making a career-altering announcement in the wake of his
    tag team championship loss.

    No details yet on what this big announcement is supposed to be, but it
    would appear, at least for now, that Daniel Bryan will no longer be
    focussing on the Smackdown tag team division.

    What he meant by going where hes never been before is also a mystery.
    Several speculated that it might mean hes going after another title,
    perhaps trying to elevate a different division, but hes already won the
    United States, Intercontinental and WWE Championships, and Brock Lesnar
    already has an opponent lined up for SummerSlam.

    Another idea floating around online, and mind you this is total
    speculation, is that Bryan may next attempt to elevate the Cruiserweight division. Hes generally announced at 210 pounds, so a jump down to make
    weight wouldnt be very different for a guy his size. It certainly a place
    hes never been before, although the same could be said for the NXT brand.

    Whatever the case may be, well find out tonight on Smackdown Live!

    go where Daniel Bryan has not gone before." @WWEDanielBryan claims he knows exactly what he has to do after losing the SmackDown Tag Team Titles at #ExtremeRules pic.twitter.com/ekeblsJDJn
