(VIDEO): Were Not Done Yet. WWE Shows Extra Footage Of Undertaker After
Monday Night Raw.

Posted: 04 Jun 2019 12:03 AM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/video-not-done-yet-wwe-shows-extra-footage-undertaker-monday-night-raw/


Who says he’s done? One of the featured attractions this week on Monday Night Raw was the return of the Undertaker. He’s been around WWE for
nearly thirty years now and any time he makes an appearance, it’s something special. In this case, he was there to hype up his match with Goldberg at Friday’s Super ShowDown, but it turns out that he wasn’t done when the show went off the air.

WWE has released a bonus video from after Monday Night Raw went off the
air, showing Undertaker talking just a little bit more before leaving. The Undertaker’s speech was the final segment of Monday Night Raw and the show went off the air as soon as he was done speaking. His match with Goldberg
at Super ShowDown will be his first since Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on November 2, 2018.

He’s not done yet. Check out Undertaker’s post show segment:

Opinion: That’s not exactly much but it was a weird way to end the show
with Undertaker using Goldberg’s catchphrase. At least what they aired as
a bonus felt a little bit better, though having him say something a little
bit more specific would have been slightly more important. At the same
time though, the Undertaker is the kind of legend who is there so
infrequently that it is always worth seeing.

What are you expecting from Undertaker at Super ShowDown? When will he
wrestle again? Let us know in the comments below.

(WATCH): What Happened When Raw Was On A Commercial

Posted: 03 Jun 2019 11:41 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/watch-happened-raw-commercial/


There is more to it than meets the camera. Monday Night Raw is a long wrestling show. A far too long one depending on who you ask. With that
comes a lot of people getting in on the television broadcasts, though not everyone can get in. At the same time though, there is a lot more that
goes on that doesn’t make the actual broadcast, which is where a thing like YouTube comes in.

During Monday Night Raw, a segment took place off camera with Mojo Rawley coming out to address the crowd. This is something that WWE does almost
every week though they do not always air them on YouTube. Rawley appeared before the crowd to talk about confronting reality before leaving again. Rawley’s most recent singles match on television came on the May 13 episode of Monday Night Raw when he defeated Apollo Crews.

See if you can make sense of this. Check out Rawley’s promo between televised segments:

Opinion: I mean, I guess it’s better than the same old videos they play
every week. It might not be the most thrilling thing in the world, but
then again it’s not like Rawley means anything in the first place. This is the same kind of thing that they’ve done with him for months and it has
never gone anywhere. Hopefully they get something better for him, or just
let him go because it’s not going to get any better.

What do you think of Rawley’s promo? Can he ever be a star? Let us know
in the comments below.

(VIDEO): Monday Night Raw Features A Song And Dance Number From The Mind Of
A Crazy Man

Posted: 03 Jun 2019 11:33 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/video-monday-night-raw-features-song-dance-number-mind-cult-leader/


It’s fun and educational! There are very few things more entertaining in
WWE at the moment than the Firefly Fun House. The segments are from the
insane mind of Bray Wyatt and seems to be building towards Wyatt’s long awaited in-ring return. However, they also seem to have an underlying
message in them with a look into Wyatt’s mind. That seemed to be the case this week in one of the more bizarre segments yet.

This week’s Firefly Fun House featured a new character named Huskus The
Pig, which seemed to serve as a symbol for the old Wyatt from his Husky
Harris days. A Vince McMahon puppet with devil horns came in and
threatened to fire Huskus if he didn’t lose weight, sending Wyatt into an exercise dance number called the Muscle Man Dance. There is still no word
on when Wyatt will be returning to the ring.

I don’t know what to think of this. Check out this week’s Fun House:
[This post contains video, click to play]


Opinion: What in the world are these things going to do next? Wyatt has
become one of the most entertaining things in all of WWE these days and that’s the case again here. What was a look into the evilness of Wyatt is now an exercise dance video as we see what Wyatt was dealing with in the beginning of his career. I’m scared of what is going to happen when these things become more WWE based, but for now they’re an absolute blast.

REVIEW: Chris Jerichos Rock N Rager At Sea: Its A Good Life On A Boat

Posted: 03 Jun 2019 11:02 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/review-chris-jerichos-rock-n-rager-sea-good-life-boat/


Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net, starting today. It could be anything from modern WWE
to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using
letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be?
Chris Jericho’s Rock N Rager At Sea
Date: November 3, 2018
Location: Norwegian Jade Cruise Ship
Commentators: Colt Cabana, Jay Lethal
And now here’s a show on a boat! Late last year Chris Jericho hosted a wrestling cruise (it has to be better than WCW’s nightmare version back in the 1990s), featuring Fozzy concerts, podcasts, and of course live
wrestling matches. This includes the Ring of Honor Sea of Honor Tournament
plus a few more matches. While they didn’t tape everything, we’ve got most of the tournament plus a few bonus matches. Let’s get to it.
Note that Cabana and Lethal are the main two commentators with others
rotating in.
Here are the original brackets for the tournament:
Dalton Castle
Matt Taven
Delirious
Christopher Daniels
Rhett Titus
Marty Scurll
Flip Gordon
Silas Young
Mark Briscoe
Will Ferrara
Adam Page
Frankie Kazarian
Cheeseburger
Beer City Bruiser
Jay Briscoe
Kenny King
We open with some highlights of the first round, which has been cut for the sake of time. Understandable, as that would be another eight matches. The
set looks great with a big Ring of Honor ring and a lot of fans all around.
You wouldn’t know it was on a boat otherwise, though the sun going down is always a cool touch.
Here are the quarterfinal brackets:
Dalton Castle
Christopher Daniels
Marty Scurll
Flip Gordon
Mark Briscoe
Adam Page
Cheeseburger
Jay Briscoe
Sea of Honor Tournament Quarterfinals: Christopher Daniels vs. Dalton Castle Actually hang on as Castle has a concussion and can’t wrestle. We have a replacement on hand though.
Sea of Honor Tournament Quarterfinals: Christopher Daniels vs. Ashley
Remington
For those of you not familiar with Remington, it’s certainly not Castle in his Chikara gimmick of a sailing enthusiast. After all, Dalton doesn’t wear
a snappy sailor’s hat. The hat is spun around Remington’s finger and he throws in some finger guns. Lethal sees no peacock gear or Boys so this
CANNOT be Dalton Castle. Daniels is very confused and the THAT’S NOT DALTON chants make it even worse. He even gets a mic and says “Wait…..so you’re NOT Dalton Castle???”
Daniels agrees to wrestle for the sake of the tournament and they take
turns driving each other into the corner to start. Remington isn’t pleased with the referee taking issue with his aggression and gets in a Dalton
style yell. Daniels sends him into the ropes bu Remington is right back
with a finger gun, because he’s that smooth. A pinfall reversal sequence
goes nowhere so Daniels gets punched in the ribs a few times to slow things down again. Daniels blocks a Vader Bomb with raised knees and a running
knee to the ribs makes things even worse.
It’s off to the waistlock as Lethal suggests that REMINGTON IS DALTON CASTLE!!! I mean, he has a concussion and thinks he’s a sailor named Ashley Remington, but he must be Castle. I’m still not convinced, even as
Remington makes a comeback with Castle inspired offense. A running knee in
the corner sets up a running bulldog for two but it’s too early for the
Bang A Rang. Er I mean the Anchor. Yeah the Anchor. Daniels tries a Blue Thunder Bomb but gets cradled to send Remington to the next round at 7:14. Rating: C. This was a lot of fun with Remington being the perfect choice
for a replacement. The match wasn’t exactly the point here, but how serious can you be with a guy named Smooth Sailing wrestling in a match on a
cruise? This tournament seems to get the idea of not taking itself too seriously and that’s a very good thing.
As is his custom, Remington offers Daniels a complimentary fruit basket. That’s good enough to earn a hug so everything is smooth.
Sea Of Honor Tournament Quarterfinals: Flip Gordon vs. Marty Scurll
The fans are behind Marty here and that’s not the most surprising thing in the world. Marty is nice enough to offer a handshake and even wants some silence for the gesture. Instead they hug (Colt: “Code of Honor really, really shown!”) to a very positive reaction. Ever the villain though, Colt pulls him into a Rock Bottom for two at the opening bell. Flip rolls
outside so Marty superkicks him from the apron for another near fall.
Back up and Flip starts to flip to avoid a clothesline, followed by a
standing moonsault. They chop it out in the corner with Marty managing to crotch him on top and hit some uppercuts. A top rope superplex attempt is broken up with a headbutt but Scurll enziguris him and NOW the superplex connects for two. Marty starts in on the hand before going to some holds to work on the ribs. He’s a versatile villain you see. There’s a backbreaker into an abdominal stretch on the mat.
Gordon finally kicks him into the corner for a breather and the backflip World’s Strongest Slam sets up a running shooting star. A springboard Sling Blade drops Scurll again and the 450 gets two. They chop it out until Marty turns him inside out with a clothesline. They’re both down for a bit until another chop off goes to Scurll. You don’t often see the villain win one of those. Flip snaps off a Falcon Arrow but gets powerbombed. The ensuing
cover is reversed into a rollup to give Flip the fast pin at 11:16.
Rating: B. That was a heck of a match with both guys working hard. I know Scurll doesn’t have the best reception at times but he can put on some good stuff at times. He can go in the ring under the right circumstances and
Gordon was more than game for this one. Flip has surprised me over the last
few months as he’s turned into a character who can work a match instead of just a one note guy. Really fun match.
Flip’s chest is busted up but Marty still won’t hug him.
Sea Of Honor Tournament Quarterfinals: Jay Briscoe vs. Cheeseburger
If this is anything other than Jay beating this guy into oblivion, there’s
no justice in the world. Before the match, Jay offers Cheeseburger a chance
to walk out instead of take this beating. Cheeseburger flips him off and
please make this be quick. Cheeseburger slugs away to start and gets run
over for his efforts as I become a bigger Jay fan by the second.
Jay knocks him hard into the corner but misses a charge, allowing
Cheeseburger to get in some meaningless shots to the head. A Death Valley Driver gives Jay two and it’s off to a reverse chinlock. Cheeseburger slips out and hits what looked like a low blow, followed by the Shotei palm
strike for two. Jay superkicks a springboard out of the air and the Jay
Driller finishes Cheeseburger at 6:36.
Rating: D. Nothing match of course but I get a perverse enjoyment out of
seeing Cheeseburger get destroyed. That’s all this match needed to be as
even the announcers were making it clear that Cheeseburger didn’t have a chance. Jay is the most successful wrestler in ROH history so this was a glorified bye for him.
Sea Of Honor Tournament Quarterfinals: Mark Briscoe vs. Adam Page
They chop it out to start with Page’s chop being so bad that the fans make fun of him. It’s hard to get this crowd to boo a guy like him but that chop was worth the insult. Mark hits a chop of his own and the fans seem rather pleased. An exchange of slams has no effect either so Page grabs a delayed suplex to actually get an advantage. Briscoe slugs away but gets kicked out
of the air, which the fans say was weak as well. The tabletop suplex gets
two and a THAT WAS STRONG chant from the crowd.
Mark turns him inside out with a clothesline….and we’ve got a bird landing on a fan in the crowd. The fans start chanting for the bird so Mark is
smart enough to grab a chinlock until they pay attention again. Page gets
two off a German suplex but walks into a fisherman’s buster for the same. A hard powerbomb gives Page two more but the Rite of Passage is broken up. Instead Briscoe sends him to the apron and counters the Buckshot Lariat
into a rollup for the pin at 10:29.
Rating: C. Thankfully the bird didn’t mess things up that badly as there’s only so much you can do when the fans get distracted like that. Mark
putting the chinlock on to ride it out was the right call and it didn’t
last too long. You could have gone either way here as Page is a popular guy
but the battle of the Briscoes is hard to pass up.
Here are the updated brackets:
Dalton Castle/Ashley Remington
Flip Gordon
Jay Briscoe
Mark Briscoe
Sea Of Honor Tournament Semifinals: Dalton Castle vs. Flip Gordon
It’s night now and it makes for a very cool visual. Castle is back (after some great concussion protocol) and it’s Mandy Leon and Matt Taven on commentary. Hang on though as Castle, in a shirt, says he has a severe
sunburn and asks Flip not to touch his body at all. That earns Castle a shoulder block for the most painful reaction ever.
Castle strikes the Peacock Pose so Flip kicks him in the ribs (Fans: “ALOE VERA!!!”) and sends Castle outside with a single chop. Back in and more chops, followed by a BACK RAKE (through a shirt but still) has the fans
booing Gordon for the first time. A springboard frog splash gives Flip two
so Castle is right back with a hard clothesline. Hang on though as Castle
needs to pause for some ice to the chest.
More shots to Flip’s chest set up a short DDT for two but Flip kicks him in the face. A springboard missile dropkick sends Castle into the corner but he’s right back with a spear. Castle is right back with a running knee in
the corner as Cabana thinks Castle is reminiscent of Ashley Remington.
There might be a small similarity but they’re rather different. Back up and Castle grabs his arm, allowing Flip to roll him up (kind of a wacky rollup
with a wrist clutch) for the pin at 9:36.
Rating: D+. They had an idea with the sunburn thing but it didn’t exactly
go anywhere. Castle is still banged up so it makes sense that they didn’t want to do all too much here. It was a comedy match and that’s fine on something like this, though the match wasn’t all that fun in the first
place.
Sea Of Honor Tournament Semifinals: Jay Briscoe vs. Mark Briscoe
This should be fun. They bump forearms before the bell but Mark isn’t
waiting around here and shotgun dropkicks Jay at the bell. Another
knockdown sets up the Froggy Bow for a very early two. The fight heads
outside with Mark throwing a chair in, only to have Jay pelt it into his
head to take over. Jay starts stomping away in the corner and fires off
some uppercuts. It’s back to the floor with a big boot to Mark’s jaw just waking him up a bit. Jay comes right back and the fighting turns Mandy on a bit.
Back in and Jay kicks him in the face for two more before wedging the chair into the corner. Of course Jay is the one going face first into it and a crossbody through the chair gives Mark two of his own. The fans are WAY
into this one as Mark stomps away in the corner. An exchange of kicks to
the face (as in seven or eight each) doesn’t go anywhere so Jay goes with a neckbreaker for two instead.
Jay kicks him again but can’t hit the Jay Driller. Mark knocks him in the
jaw again and takes him up top for something like an Iconoclasm for two of
his own. A second Froggy Bow misses so Mark dropkicks him in the corner for
a second time. The fisherman’s buster gets two more as the fans go into a LET’S GO BRISCOE/BRISCOE SUCKS chant for something clever. Mark takes too long going up and gets chaired down, setting up the Jay Driller for the pin
at 10:50.
Rating: B. This was all about two guys beating the fire out of each other
and it was very entertaining. They were going for the violent, intense
brawl here and it worked as well as it could have. I would have gone with
Mark getting to the finals for a little change of pace, but Jay is the
bigger star and will give Gordon more of a boost if he wins.
They hug post match because brothers have to fight. Or wrestle.
Sea Of Honor Tournament Finals: Jay Briscoe vs. Flip Gordon
Jay jumps him before the bell because he’s a better heel than a face. The beating sends Flip outside and he kind of looks like a monster as they walk around. You can’t script a look like that and it’s a good way of playing towards Briscoe’s nature. Back in and the stomping begins as Flip can’t do anything yet. Jay switches it up to stomping AND choking in the corner, followed by a running big boot.
Flip finally sends him to the floor for a kick to the head but walks into
the neckbreaker. A dropkick sets up some swearing and it’s off to the chinlock. As you might have expected, Flip pops up and hits a springboard crossbody/right hand (cool….I think) to put Jay down again. A Pele sets up the springboard spear for two more but Jay crotches him on top. Jay’s superplex is escaped and Flip scores with a running dropkick to the back.
Flip tries a suplex of his own but gets reversed into a fisherman’s buster
to knock him silly. Since no one can keep momentum here, Jay walks into a Falcon Arrow for two more. The Jay Driller (See what I mean about
momentum?) gets two and the fans aren’t happy with that not being the
ending. Flip kicks him in the head again and a TKO is good for the pin and
the tournament at 10:53.
Rating: C. This was fine, though that kickout was too much and I think the
fans knew it. After three matches of taking a beating, Flip shouldn’t be kicking out of one of the most protected finishers in the company. I’m cool with Gordon getting the title shot though as it’s always nice to see
someone fresh get a chance, even if it’s a one off.
Alpha Club vs. Bullet Club
That would be Chris Jericho and the Young Bucks vs. Kenny Omega/Cody/Marty Scurll, which should be a heck of a match. There’s no Brandi here for some reason, though if you were her would you want to be on a cruise around a
bunch of fans? Jericho gets the big introduction, as he certainly deserves.
He also comes out dressed as a Buck, complete with bandanna, though it
looks a bit like a bad Rockers cosplay. The fans are going NUTS for this,
as you had to expect. Fans: “VINCE CAN’T TOUCH THIS!!!”
Cody and Nick start things off but Cody isn’t interested in an early handshake. A dropkick sends Cody into the corner for almost the only action
of the first minute. Cody’s drop down uppercut lets him flip the fans off
so Nick cranks on the arm. He is known for protecting the fans you see.
Jericho comes in (POP/CHANTING) to stay on the arm as the Alphas start
taking turns. It’s time for the rapid fire offense and triple dives, though the camera doesn’t catch all of them.
Things settle down and it’s Jericho vs. Omega for the real showdown. They circle each otherjust long enough for Cody to tags himself in as the
waiting has to continue. A jumping knee to the back sends Matt to the floor
and it’s Marty starting in on the knees back inside. Marty stomps on the
arm for a bonus before handing it off to to Cody for a delayed vertical
suplex. Matt finally sends Cody into Marty’s raised boot in the corner but Marty breaks up the hot tag attempt.
Cody loads up Shattered Dreams but stops to flip off the crowd, which
amazingly enough allows Matt to fight out of the corner. The hot tag brings
in Jericho to clean house as everything breaks down. A crossface
chickenwing attempt is countered into the Walls on Marty, leaving the Bucks
to put Cody and Omega into matching Sharpshooters. Those are broken up as
is the Walls, so Matt clotheslines Omega and Cody down. The Bucks start speeding things up and it’s a top rope splash/standing moonsault for two on Cody.
More Bang For Your Buck and the Meltzer Driver are broken up and it’s Omega with his running Fameasser to take Nick down. A series of kicks to the face gets two on Nick with Jericho making the save (Scott D’Amore on commentary: “Not on my cruise!” Good line.) and NOW we get the Omega vs. Jericho showdown. Omega knocks him to the floor but the Rise of the Terminator
(which took FOREVER to set up) is countered with a double superkick.
A triple superkick sets up the Meltzer Driver into the Walls on Omega, but Jericho has to let go for a Codebreaker on Marty. Omega is fine enough for
a series of hurricanranas but Jericho takes him down into the Walls again. Marty’s umbrella to the back makes the save though and Omega gets a good
near fall. Another Meltzer Driver is broken up but Omega can’t hit the One Winged Angle. He can hit a V Trigger though (shocking), followed by a
second (take a shot) and the One Winged Angle finishes Matt at 23:20.
Rating: B+. This was exactly what the main event should have been with the
kind of wrestlers that these fans want having the kind of match that they
do best. It was entertaining, it was fast paced and it was fun. Really,
what else could you have asked for here? Also, well done on having Jericho
take the fall on his cruise. A lot of people wouldn’t have done that.
Post match it’s a big staredown with Omega and Jericho talking to wrap it
up.
Jericho thanks the fans for everything to end the show.
Overall Rating: B. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would as it was
as laid back of a show as you could have asked for. The wrestling was fun
(not great the entire time, but fun) and the venue really made things feel special. Not everything needs to be some big show and it’s ok to have a
good time every now and then. That’s what we got here and it flew by at
less than three hours. Even if it’s just a big advertisement for next year’s cruise, well done indeed.

Did He Or Didnt He? What Happened With Brock Lesnars Money In The Bank Contract On Monday Night Raw?

Posted: 03 Jun 2019 07:15 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/didnt-happened-brock-lesnars-money-bank-contract-monday-night-raw/


More of the same. Last week, Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar teased a Money
in the Bank cash in on either WWE Champion Kofi Kingston or Universal
Champion Seth Rollins. This was dropped through when Lesnar found out that
he had a year to cash in the contract. Stephanie McMahon was not happy, so instead it was announced that Lesnar would cash in this week. So what happened?

After guaranteeing that Lesnar would cash in the briefcase this week on
Monday Night Raw, Lesnar instead said that he would cash in the briefcase
on Friday at Super ShowDown. Rollins called out Lesnar but was attacked by Baron Corbin, allowing Lesnar to come to the ring and destroy Rollins.
Paul Heyman begged Lesnar to cash in but Lesnar said he would do it Friday before leaving.

It’s like he needs to know the details. Check out Lesnar’s surprise from last week:

Opinion

: I can’t say I’m the slightest bit surprised by this as WWE certainly loves its bait and switches. I’m not sure if they’ll actually change the title on Friday, but you knew they were going to get Lesnar on the show somehow. Hopefully we don’t end up with another absentee champion but it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest. The booking choice for Monday Night Raw is far from surprising, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating.

Do you think Lesnar will win the title? Which champion will he cash in
on? Let us know in the comments below.

Near Disaster. Impact Wrestling Had To Intervene To Keep Top Star Out Of Double Or Nothing At Last Minute.

Posted: 03 Jun 2019 06:55 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/near-disaster-impact-wrestling-intervene-keep-top-star-double-nothing-last-minute/


That would have been embarrassing. Double Or Nothing completely ignited
the wrestling world in a way that hasn’t been the case for a very long time now. That included a Casino Battle Royal where the fans were allowed to
get to know a lot of the roster at once. As it turns out, there was
another big name ready to compete on the show and another company had to
stop it.

According to PWInsider.com, Impact Wrestling World Champion Brian Cage was ready to compete in the Casino Battle Royal at Double Or Nothing but Impact Wrestling contacted him and said he was not allowed to do so. This would
have been a major problem for Impact Wrestling as Cage is currently out of action on their show due to an injury sustained at Rebellion. There is no
word on who replaced Cage in the match.

Cage would have been quite the wild card. Check out what he’s capable of doing when healthy:

Opinion: This could have been a disaster for Impact Wrestling, especially
if they had to release or punish Cage, who has yet to wrestle after winning
the World Title. Impact Wrestling, among other companies, is already going
to be in trouble with AEW on the rise and having one of their top talents showing up on the other company’s show would have made things even worse. They dodged a bullet here, but it could have been interesting to see what
would happen if they hadn’t.

How bad would it have been if Cage had worked Double Or Nothing? Is Impact Wrestling in trouble thanks to AEW? Let us know in the comments below.
