Cody Rhodes Justifies AEW Signing Orange Cassidy

https://www.prowrestling.com/cody-rhodes-justifies-aew-signing-orange-cassidy/
One fan questioned why AEW signed Orange Cassidy on social media yesterday
and AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes justified the decision.
Rhodes was asked why AEW would sign Cassidy when the company is trying to
be a serious, sports-based company, and he responded immediately, claiming
that he is a great fun pro wrestler. He continued by stating that the show
is sports-based, but every competitor brings something different to that
show.
Easily. He’s a great & fun pro wrestler.
The show is 100% sports based, but the competitors are vastly different in style and delivery.

Mick Foley Claims The Mandible Claw Is Now Bray Wyatts
Posted: 15 Aug 2019 05:48 AM PDT
https://www.prowrestling.com/mick-foley-claims-the-mandible-claw-is-now-bray-wyatts/
WWE Hall Of Famer, Mick Foley recently spoke with WrestlingInc.com where he revealed that the Mandible Claw is Bray Wyatts to use.
Foley and Wyatt were involved in a segment during the recent Raw Reunion
show where the Hardcore Legend passed on his finisher to The Fiend, which
he displayed again at WWE SummerSlam against Finn Balor.
Foley spoke about how he enjoys seeing current talent using things from his past in modern ways, admitting that the Mandible Claw is something that now belongs to Bray Wyatt.
I think its nice to look at the show and see your fingerprints here and
there, Mick said. Where, as ten years ago when I left, there were a lot of people who had grown up idolizing Ric, and Shawn, and Bret, and you could
see that in the work. So now you have guys like Bray, who told me years
ago, Look, Im doing something in a rocking chair, because he had gotten a rocking chair from an interview that I did for Randy Orton. You see it a
little bit with Aleister Black and the rocking, and Su Yung, and Rosemary, and I love it; Sami Callihan doing the cactus driver.
And so, I feel for Bray because you want a finishing move that you can do
to anyone at any time. The mandible claw is something that is all [Brays]
now.

Goldberg Opens Up On His Botch Against The Undertaker
Posted: 15 Aug 2019 05:21 AM PDT
https://www.prowrestling.com/goldberg-opens-up-on-his-botch-against-the-undertaker/
WWE Hall Of Famer, Goldberg, recently spoke with Booker T on his The Hall
Of Fame podcast where he opened up about his match with The Undertaker.
Goldberg spoke specifically about the moment that he went to hit a Spear,
and went into the ring post, accidentally smashing his head which ended up causing major problems throughout the rest of the match.
“If I’m gonna be a defensive lineman that was an all-American, if I’m gonna
be a guy that played a couple of years in the NFL, if I’m gonna be a guy
that is known to be a thrasher, I’m not gonna run into a turnbuckle and
miss it and act like it killed me. I can’t do that, so I have to make it
look as close to it killing me as possible. And sometimes, unfortunately,
the circumstances are such that I go a little overboard.”

https://www.prowrestling.com/braun-strowman-on-not-wrestling-at-wwe-summerslam/
Braun Strowman recently spoke with SportsKeeda.com where he revealed how it felt to not have a match at WWE SummerSlam this year.
Strowman was kept off the card due to not having any storylines heading
into the event, but he has now been placed into a storyline with United
States Champion AJ Styles, who he will face on WWE Raw next week.
Speaking about missing SummerSlam he said:
Yeah, that was a pretty tough pill for me to swallow. But, at the same
time, with me not being in a storyline, and they didnt just want to
shoehorn me in, just to have me on there for no reason. Theyre doing a good
job of making sure that any time Brauns on TV, its something impactful.
