    Know For Next Time. Heres An Important Note On Upcoming AEW Shows.

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 11:37 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/know-next-time-important-note-upcoming-aew-shows/


    You can’t get them all. We’re a little less than two weeks removed from AEW’s debut event Double Or Nothing. The fact that fans are still talking about it that much later suggests something positive for the company, but
    it also brings up the question: what’s next? Well we already know when AEW will be back in the ring, but what about being able to see it? That’s
    where things get a little tricky.

    According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the next two AEW events,
    Fyter Fest (June 29) and Fight For The Fallen (July 13), will not be
    available on traditional pay per view. Instead, the events will be
    available on the B/R Live streaming service and may be made available as
    iPPVs. The company’s next traditional pay per view will be All Out, which takes place on August 31.

    You’ll have some time to wait. Check out the promo for All Out:

    Opinion: That’s a good idea as you can only have so many shows in such a short time. Double Or Nothing was $50 and if you keep asking fans for that much, a lot of them aren’t going to be sticking around. That’s quite a bit of money in some cases and having a cheaper option is a good idea.
    Hopefully the shows are as good though, because Double Or Nothing is quite
    the standard to live up to.

    How excited are you for these shows? Which one sounds better? Let us know

    A Fast Way To The Top. John Cena Joins Major Film Franchise.

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 11:34 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/fast-way-top-john-cena-joins-major-film-franchise/


    His career just keeps going. After a fifteen plus year career in
    professional wrestling, John Cena has all but walked away and become a
    fairly successful movie star. This new career has seen him in a variety of roles, both action and comedy based. Cena has shown that he can hang in
    either of them and as it turns out, he is now going to be joining one of
    the most successful franchises of all time.

    According to Deadline.com, Cena will be appearing in the ninth installment
    of the Fast and Furious franchise. At the moment, there is no word on what role Cena will be playing. The ninth film is scheduled to begin production later this month and will be released next year. It should be noted that Dwayne Johnson is not expected to be part of this film, though he has
    appeared in several entries in the franchise.

    For nearly 20 years, the Fast Franchise has entertained fans and created
    some of the biggest cinematic moments in history. It’s an incredible honor
    to join this franchise and this family. https://t.co/7GFzDsX8sl

    - John Cena (@JohnCena) June 7, 2019



    Cena still pops up in WWE from time to time. Check out one of his most
    recent appearances with a rather big name:

    Opinion: That’s quite the get for Cena as his Hollywood career begins to grow. There is nothing wrong with joining a big time franchise and
    becoming a bigger star as a result. It also takes some of the pressure off
    of Cena, who does not have to carry the film in what is likely to be a supporting role. That’s not the worst place to be and it certainly worked out well for Johnson.

    Will Cena succeed in the role? How big of a star can he become? Let us
    know in the comments below.

    (WATCH): What Happened After Double Or Nothing Went Off The Air.

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 11:29 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/watch-happened-double-nothing-went-off-air/


    There’s more to it than that. Double Or Nothing was a pretty well received show, which might be putting it mildly. Almost every part of the show was praised with certain parts being described as great. It was clear that
    they fans were interested in what the promotion was offering and that does
    not seem to have changed. As it turns out, AEW has already offered a
    little bonus.

    They’re not done yet. Check out what happened after Double Or Nothing Went Off The Air:
    [This post contains video, click to play]


    Via its YouTube page, AEW has released a video of what took place after
    Double Or Nothing went off the air. The video consists of the main names behind the company coming out to the stage and thanking the fans for coming
    and all of their support. Kenny Omega also said goodnight for the company
    to end the evening. AEW’s next event takes place on June 29 with Fyter
    Fest.

    Opinion: That’s very cool to see as there is clearly a market for this company. The fans want to see what they have to offer and whether that’s
    out of a love for AEW, apathy towards WWE or some mixture of everything at once, it certainly seems to be working quite well. Hopefully they can keep
    up the momentum, because it could be taking them somewhere special.

    Whose speech was the best? What are you expecting from the next show? Let
    us know in the comments below.

    Theyre Going In A Hurry. Two World Title Matches Set For WWE Stomping
    Grounds.

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 11:26 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/theyre-going-hurry-two-world-title-matches-set-wwe-stomping-grounds/


    It’s already time. The WWE is in a very busy part of their calendar at the moment with several major shows taking place in a short stretch. Friday
    saw Super ShowDown but with that event out of the way, it is already time
    to get ready for Stomping Grounds. The show takes place later this month
    and while some matches were already announced, the card needs more work and some of that was done on Friday.

    During Super ShowDown, two more matches were added to the Stomping Grounds card. Both Seth Rollins vs. Baron Corbin for the Universal Title and Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Championship, the latter taking
    place inside a steel cage, were confirmed for the pay per view. These
    matches both took place at Super ShowDown but both included a controversial finish, meaning the losers demanded and received rematches.

    Kingston certainly seems ready. Check out his comments on the upcoming rematch:
    [This post contains video, click to play]


    Rollins seems to have his mind on something else. Check out his post match interview:
    [This post contains video, click to play]


    Opinion: This isn’t going to do much to change the perception that Super ShowDown wasn’t the most important show in the world. The next pay per
    view, which is in just over two weeks, is already going to be built around rematches from this show, including a stipulation that was just used in a
    big match last month. How important does Stomping Grounds look if it’s something we saw either last month or this month?

    Which of these matches interests you more? Who leaves with the titles?

    There Was More To It. Goldberg Says He Was Hurt In Super ShowDown Main
    Event, What Happened To Him?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 11:22 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/goldberg-says-hurt-super-showdown-main-event-happened/


    That would explain a few things. Super ShowDown is in the books and the
    show has not been receiving the greatest reactions. The show continued the tradition of the not incredibly well received Saudi Arabian shows with the
    main event in particular not being viewed as the greatest match in the
    world. As it turns out though, there may have been a reason things did not
    go so well.

    As explained on his Twitter account, Goldberg knocked himself out during
    his main event match against Undertaker at Super ShowDown. During the
    match, Goldberg missed a hard charge into the corner and cut himself open. After the collision, he was noticeably less sturdy and botched multiple
    moves, including a Jackhammer which was more like a brainbuster. There is
    no word on what kind of an injury Goldberg suffered.

    Knocked myself out and thought I could finish. love my fans..but let u
    down. Everyone else that found “pleasure” .. hope ur happy

    - Bill Goldberg (@Goldberg) June 7, 2019



    Things were going better earlier on. Check out the stuff before the injury: [This post contains video, click to play]


    Opinion: The more I think about this, the more sense this makes. There was
    no reason for Goldberg to fall as far as he did in just a few minutes other than something surprising like this. Goldberg knows how to work a power
    match and could do the Jackhammer in his sleep but he looked lost out
    there. I can understand a lot more of this if Goldberg was knocked willy
    and it clears up a lot of questions.

    Did the injury change everything? How do you think the match would have
    gone without it? Let us know in the comments below.

    REVIEW: Monday Nitro - March 8, 1999: Who Needs Wrestling? Or An Arena?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 11:19 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/review-monday-nitro-march-8-1999-needs-wrestling-arena/


    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?
    Monday Nitro #182

    Date: March 8, 1999

    Location: Centrum, Worcester, Massachusetts

    Attendance: 10,856

    Commentators: Mike Tenay, Tony Schaivone, Bobby Heenan, Larry Zbyszko
    We had to get to this one eventually. Ive heard warnings about this show
    for a long time now and even though Ive seen it more than once before, the
    idea that this was allowed to make air still baffles me. Its the go home
    Nitro before Uncensored, meaning this is the big show to get people to buy
    the pay per view. Lets get to it.
    Video on the cage being built for Uncensored.
    Heres the whole Flair and Anderson talk from Thunder. It runs over six
    minutes and is summed up as Anderson saying Flair should think about his
    family more than himself.
    The Nitro Girls are at Brown University for the Nitro Party.
    Profile on AC Jazz and how she does the choreography for the team. Shes the clown of the bunch.
    Heres the Hogan interview from Thunder about how much he hates Flair and
    wants him out of wrestling. Again, it eats up about six minutes.
    More from Brown University. Konnan is there.
    Heres Konnans music video.
    Heres a video of Hogan and Nash watching Flairs promo last week. The only
    good part comes when Flair talks about a blonde waiting for him in
    Charlotte. Nash: “Buddy Landel?” Hogan: “Buddy Rose.” Hogan and Nash need
    to regroup on David and switch gears to Plan B.
    Video on Lex Luger.
    Konnan t-shirt ad. This is the second time weve seen it so far.
    Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell, still on the way to Spring Break, have
    their bus pulled over. Theyre allowed to get out of their ticket if they do police work. They agree, but cant decide who is Starsky and who is Hutch. Instead they harass people for minor offenses. The cops let them go free.
    Back to the Nitro Party where Kidman is holding the belt and eating Dominos pizza. Kidman thinks Mysterio can beat Nash again.
    Video on Mysterio vs. Nash.
    The Blonde is at a shooting range when Hogan and Nash show up. Naturally
    theres a camera facing her when shes shooting. They call her Sam and
    suggest she use some of her other talents to take care of Flair. Nash hits
    on her and dinner plans are made. Why Torrie is in a sports bra isnt clear.
    Now we go to the dinner where Hogan wants to take Ric out for good. Torrie
    says she has a friend hotter than she is and will try to get her to take
    care of David. Nash: “How much for the women?” All this makes me want to do is watch Blues Brothers. The girl shows up and is named Denise Robinson.
    After some Graduate jokes, shes promised $20,000 for taking care of David. Denise isnt bad looking but I dont think anyone is looking at her with the Blonde across the table.
    Opening sequence, fifty five minutes into the show.
    We go to the arena for the first time and Gene asks Goldberg to come out
    for a chat. Instead, heres the Wolfpack because we havent heard that music enough tonight. David Flair and Sam come out to confuse Tenay and Zbyszko (Tonys voice hasnt been heard yet). They want Ric Flair out here to settle
    this man to man. Instead Goldbergs music hits..and we go to a commercial.
    Back with Goldberg coming out as I guess the music played for four minutes. Goldberg says he respects the Flair name so he wont deal with David like he usually would. However, David needs to learn some respect. David is disrespecting him by being out here so David pokes Goldberg in the chest. Goldberg grabs him by the throat and we go split screen to see Ric arriving
    and seeing this on a monitor, sending him sprinting to the ring.
    Ric saves his son and chops Goldberg to no effect. Instead Goldberg press
    slams him but Ric gets right in his face and rants about being the best
    ever. Goldberg says Flair has lost his mind and stepped over the line.
    Flair rants about being the line and a match is made for tonight. This
    REALLY sounds like theyre about to turn Flair heel, which might actually be
    the dumbest thing I could think of this side of a Jerry Flynn push.
    Raven vs. Hak
    Falls count anywhere. They hug before the match and then the brawling
    begins. Raven blasts him in the head with a Singapore cane a few times
    before they head outside for left hands from Hak. The fight heads up the
    famp with Raven suplexing Hak on the ramp. Raven puts Hak on a table and
    dives off the set to drive him through it. Bam Bam Bigelow walks out and
    adds himself to the match, even though the referee throws it out a few
    seconds later.
    Rating: D. I cant stand this stuff, especially when Raven is capable of
    having good matches without this nonsense. Hak is Sandman minus the beer
    and thats not something I have any interest in watching. At least in the
    WWF they made it funny instead of just ripping off ECW this badly.
    Bigelow and Raven keep fighting into the back with everyone being thrown
    into various metal objects. Hak punches Bigelow up against an ambulance but Bigelow rams Raven head first into it as well. Raven puts Hak in a
    wheelbarrow and throws him into the ambulance. Now they fight over to a
    limo with Bigelow throwing them both onto the hood. Raven Even Flows Hak
    onto the hood and everyone gets tired and lays around for a bit. Raven
    tells Bigelow to bring it on the so the big man dives at the others.
    Eventually everyone just walks away to end this. The post match stuff was
    three times as long as the match.
    Now we look at these three brawling from last week.
    Chris Jericho vs. Lizmark Jr.
    Jericho comes out with a dog collar around his neck and a long chain
    attached. Before the match, Jericho talks about training for the collar
    match with monks in Nepal and wants to make this a collar match. Tony: “Theres been too much talk and not enough wrestling here.” Lizmark puts the collar on as you can see a bunch of empty seats opppsite the camera. Thats
    a really bad sign but shouldnt be surprising at all given how the show has
    gone so far.
    Tony explains some new stipulations to Hogan vs. Flair: if Flair wins hes President for life but if he loses, his career ends. Jericho chokes with a chain to start before wrapping it around his knee and driving it into
    Lizmarks head. Lizmark gets tied up with the chain for two and an ax handle with the chain around Jerichos hands knocks him to the floor. The masked
    man goes up top but dives into a chain shot to the face, setting up the Liontamer for the submission.
    Rating: D. This was just a preview for Sunday so the idea was there but
    this is what were seeing halfway through the show. The entire show is a
    waste at this point and theres almost nothing that is going to save this
    mess. Im not usually a fan of gimmick matches being used to preview another gimmick match and this was no exception.
    Heres a look at Goldberg and Flair from earlier.
    TV Title: Booker T. vs. Scott Steiner
    Before the match, Steiner says no one here in Worcester or anywhere else in
    the world could ever duplicate his physique. Tony downgrades Bookers status from #1 contender to the US Title to #1 contender to the TV Title. Steiner hammers him down but gets caught by a forearm to the head. A spinning kick
    to the face puts Steiner down and another sends him out to the floor.
    Back in after a meeting with Buff and Steiner easily takes Booker down with
    a nice amateur move. A low blow stops Bookers comeback and the referee
    shouts to watch the low blows. Id still like to know when those stopped
    being a disqualification. They head outside with Booker getting whipped
    into the barricade as the fans chant STEROIDS at Scott. Tony says the
    referee is staying inside because hes intimidated by Steiner. That actually makes sense as weve established that countouts and DQs dont really count in
    WCW anymore, so why wouldnt he go out there for a better view?
    We take a break and come back with Steiner still in control and driving
    knees in the corner. He choies Booker with his knee while covering but gets small packaged for two. A butterfly suplex gets two for Scott but Booker
    nails him with a clothesline. Theres the ax kick followed by the side kick,
    but Steiner distracts the referee so Bagwell can crotch Booker on the top
    rope. The Recliner retains Scotts title as Booker passes out.
    Rating: C. The match was ok but WCW continues their start and go pushes.
    Booker beats Bret in a great match then loses to Bagwell and Steiner on consecutive shows. Theres been no mention made of Booker getting his US
    Title shot on Sunday so odds are thats been either forgotten or canceled. Granted its not like theyre doing anything else right at the moment.
    Steiner blasts Booker with a chair after the match.
    Nitro Girls as Tony reads the house show (his words) ads.
    Now, just to really hammer in the suck, its a Jerry Flynn interview but
    Sonny Onoo interrupts. Sonny offers to buy him off to avoid the match on
    Sunday but Ernest Miller jumps him. They cut off Jerrys ponytail.
    Scott Norton vs. Rey Mysterio Jr.
    There are now more empty seats visible than there were before. Norton runs
    Rey over to start and hits a short arm clothesline. After being sent to the floor, Rey comes back in and gets caught in a release suplex. Norton
    launches him out to the floor again as the beating continues. Rey fights
    out of a powerbomb but gets dropped face first onto the turnbuckle. Much
    like Bigelow last week, Norton pulls him up at two before hitting a one
    handed gorilla press. I dont mean he lifts him up with two hands then drops one. I mean he lifted Mysterio over his head with one hand. Then Rey kicks
    him low and gets a pin. It was that fast.
    Rating: D+. That one handed press slam was awesome but thats about it. The
    rest of the match was a squash as I dont think Rey had any other offense besides the low blow and a few punches to escape the powerbomb. The giant killer angle may not produce good matches but the endings are entertaining. More Nitro Girls.
    Another video on building the cage with some narration by Flair.
    Van Hammer vs. Bret Hart
    Hammer takes him down to the mat with a headlock before we hit a test of strength. Bret grabs a wristlock but Hammer comes back with some very uninspired brawling. Hart of course comes back with a low blow because
    thats as common as a headlock in this company anymore.
    We hit the Figure Four on Van before Bret wraps the leg around the ropes. A backslide gets two for Hammer but Bret goes right back to the leg. He bends
    the leg around the post but Hammer counters the Figure Four around the
    steel. Back in and Bret gets suplexed followed by a cobra clutch slam for
    two. Hammer misses an enziguri and the Sharpshooter ends it.
    Rating: D. WAY too long here for a Bret squash. Hammer was just a guy for
    him to beat up and the leg work got a bit boring after awhile. By the way,
    this match is pretty much meaningless at the moment as Bret isnt even on
    the card Sunday. Why were spending ten minutes on a match that doesnt build
    up Sunday is an interesting question, but its really low on the totem of
    things this show has done wrong.
    Tony says this has been a hard hitting three hours. Not only has it been
    two and a half hours, but this has hit about as hard as a baby rabbits left hook.
    Hogan and Nash come to the broadcast booth, sending Heenan and Tenay
    running off. They dont have much to say but theyll be doing commentary on
    the main event.
    Ric Flair vs. Goldberg
    Goldberg easily shoves him down a few times to start and theres a gorilla
    press to boot. Flair starts to walk out but Goldberg carries him back to
    the ring. Tony: “How many men have accomplished so much in less that two years?” Nash: “There was some cat from the Emerald City that did a lot but I dont remember what happened to him.” Back in and Flair hits him low a few times before hammering away in the corner. A third low blow stops Goldbergs comeback and its time to go for the leg.
    The Figure Four goes on quickly and Flair grabs the ropes. Oh yeah hes
    turning soon. Goldberg turns it over to escape and starts no selling the
    chops. He drops Flair with a clothesline and a Flair Flip puts Ric on the floor. Back in and the spear hits the buckle, allowing Flair to nail a
    suplex. Goldberg pops right back up and hits the spear, drawing in the NWO
    for the DQ.
    Rating: C-. The match was decent enough but you knew the run-in was coming
    as soon as Hogan and Nash sat in on commentary. There was no way either guy
    was jobbing here as Goldberg is Goldberg and Flair is in the main event in
    six days. It didnt help that the match was exactly what you would expect
    from these two.
    Hogan and Nash come in as well to help beat down Goldberg and Flair to end
    the show.
    Overall Rating: F. Heres the thing: I had it easier than most with this
    because I could fast forward the two opening interviews with Anderson/Flair
    and Hogan, plus a lot of the music videos and t-shirt ads. That made the
    first hour last about fifteen minutes, a lot of which included the Blonde
    in various revealing outfits. It wasnt very hard, though only because I suffered through Thunder and could fast forward.
    Now that being said, if I watched the first hour live, Id have been looking into the quickest and most painless form of suicide. The first hour was one
    of the worst ideas Ive ever seen and accomplished absolutely nothing. It
    was a bunch of recaps and some angle that we didnt hear referenced for the
    rest of the night that revolved around David Flair.
    That brings us to the rest of the show, which was somehow even worse. Lets start with the matches. Im tempted to write off Raven vs. Hak as not being
    a match as it was barely given any time and was just there for a table
    spot. Other than that we had a squash gimmick match, a long TV Title match (good for match of the night), another squash with a fluke ending, a ten
    minute Bret squash, and eight minutes of waiting for the NWO to run in.
    Thats not really a night worth watching.
    Even if you wrote the first hour completely off, the last two hours made
    for a horrible show. Its a bunch of bad wrestling, annoying segments, uninteresting build for matches and almost nothing Id be interested in
    seeing. The best part about it is Raw wasnt even very good this week. It
    was mainly spent building up Wrestlemania but did feature Mankind/Austin
    vs. Rock/Big Show. Goldberg vs. Flair is big, but its not worth sitting
    through two hours and forty five minutes of drek.
    This is pretty high up on the list of worst wrestling shows of all time but
    its a rare case where watching online is FAR better than watching live.
    This would have driven me crazy watching it on TV as it doesnt add anything
    to Uncensored and doesnt have anything on its own. Uncensored is basically
    WCW saying “Remember that horrible show from three weeks ago with bad wrestling and annoying booking? Now you get to pay the same price for bad wrestling and maybe some better booking!” WWF was starting to pull away,
    but a lot of it had nothing to do with what they were doing.

    He Did What He Said. What Happened With Brock Lesnars Super ShowDown Money
    In The Bank Cash In?

    Well he tried. Earlier this week on Monday Night Raw, Brock Lesnar seemed ready to get the Universal Title back by cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Seth Rollins. Instead of doing just that though, Lesnar said
    he would be waiting until Friday at Super Showdown. Well now Super
    ShowDown has come and gone and that brings up the question of what happened with the briefcase.

    On Friday at Super ShowDown, Lesnar did try to cash in his briefcase but
    Paul Heyman dropped the briefcase itself, allowing Rollins to fight back
    and attack Lesnar. There was no official cash in, meaning Lesnar is still officially Mr. Money In The Bank. Lesnar was not seen for the rest of the
    show and at the moment there is no word on when his next appearance will
    take place.

    Rollins was quite the player in this. Check out what he had to say after dispatching Lesnar again:

    Opinion: So yeah Money in the Bank is still going for some reason. Lesnar
    is the kind of guy who makes sense with the briefcase as he isn’t going to
    be around teasing a cash in every few weeks. It makes for some slightly
    more important moments but at the same time, it makes you wonder how long it’s going to be running around no matter what. I don’t want to see Lesnar win the title again but that seems to be where we’re heading.

    What did you think of Lesnar’s attempt? When will he actually cash in?
    Let us know in the comments below.
