Posted: 02 Jul 2019 12:16 PM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/jaques-rougeau-sr-passes-away-at-89/


Montreal wrestling legend Jaques Rougeau Sr. passed away on Monday at the
age of 89. The Rougeau family released the following statement:

Rawdon, July 2, 2019

Official Press Release of the rougeau family

It is with sadness and a lot of sorrow that we announce the death of Mr
Jacques Rougeau, yesterday, on July 1, 2019, at the age of 89 He has been fighting for a while with pulmonary fibrosis, but he is still part gently, surrounded by his family that he loved so much.

This love is also shared with the public, while he has been a professional wrestler for many years. In the company of his brother Jean, he made the
rain and the good weather in the four corners of Quebec, particularly in
the 60 s and 70. S who dont remember his battles with the sheik, Abdullah
the butcher, Hans Schmidt or Maurice Vachon?

He has been part of the Quebec landscape for several years and it was
important for us to share the news with all those who followed him,
appreciated and loved in his public career. He has worn a name that
resonates so much in this middle and mainly in Quebec that these three
sons, Raymond, Jacques and Armand, one of his daughters, Joanne, as well as three of his grandson walked in his steps, working all in The middle of the struggle at one time or another.

But if for you he was a popular wrestler, for us, he was a husband, a
father, a grandfather and a great and esteemed great-grandfather. He was
the quiet force of our family and his departure is and will be very painful.

Media friends and fans of wrestling, we thank you for the love you have
given him over the years and be assured that this feeling was shared.

The Rougeau family

Karl Anderson: "Were Not Taking Any Shi*%"

Posted: 02 Jul 2019 11:38 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/karl-anderson-were-not-taking-any-shi/


Former-WWE RAW Tag Team Champion Karl Anderson took to Twitter to warn
people that the handcuffs are off now that he has reunited with his Club brothers AJ Styles & Luke Gallows. The reunion took place on this past
Mondays edition of RAW, when Anderson & Gallows helped Styles beat up WWE United States Champion Ricochet.

The team was last together on WWE TV on July 24th, 2016, where they lost a six-man tag match to John Cena, Enzo Amore & Big Cass.

Hope y’all are ready .. The handcuffs are off .. We’re not taking any shi*% from anyone. #TheClub @AJStylesOrg @LukeGallowsWWE

Seth Rollins Publicly Apologies to Will Ospreay for Recent Comments; "I Can
& Will Do Better"

Posted: 02 Jul 2019 11:19 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/seth-rollins-publicly-apologies-to-will-ospreay-for-recent-comments-i-can-will-do-better/


Seth Rollins has apologized for a series of Tweets he recently sent to New Japan Pro-Wrestling star Will Ospreay.

Last week, the Universal Champion and the reigning IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion got into it over social media after the so-called Kingslayer challenged fans to, Find anyone else alive who does what I do as well as I
do it as often as I do it.

Ospreay simply responded with, Im alive.

And thats when things started to break down.

Fans were understandably worked into a frenzy over the exchange, as its not very often two top stars from different promotions especially not two of
the three biggest promotions in the world get to mix it up. While WWE fans largely rushed behind their champ, and NJPW fans started pulling out star ratings and statistics left and right.

Where Rollins got himself into trouble was bringing up his paycheck,
boasting about how much money he makes in comparison to the UK star, and mocking him for his size. He also claimed WWE had a “better version” of Ospreay in Ricochet, who had just won the U.S. Championship from Samoa Joe.

Today Rollins took to Twitter once again, but this time, it was to
apologize for his controversial remarks.

After a few days to sit on it, I’d like to apologize to @WillOspreay for
the tweet I sent his way about comparing bank accounts. It was dumb of me &
not in line with my values. The moment I pressed the send button I knew it
was trash, but I’m too stubborn for my own good.

- Seth Rollins (@WWERollins) July 2, 2019



I stand firm in my sentiments that @WWE is the best pro wrestling on the
planet and that I’m the best of the best doing it right now. After a
helluva week of travel, our crew didn’t waver for a second. Top level
humans busting their asses for the love of the game.

- Seth Rollins (@WWERollins) July 2, 2019



I couldn’t be more proud to be a champion with this company and represent @WWE and the entire industry in the way it deserves. No more garbage
tweets. I can and will be better.

Matt Jackson Lauds Private Party, Teams Set To Face In House of Glory

Posted: 02 Jul 2019 11:11 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/matt-jackson-lauds-private-party-teams-set-to-face-in-house-of-glory/


Matt Jackson took to Twitter today to praise Mark Quen & Isaiah Kassidy,
better known as Private Party. After the two men had a star making match at Saturdays Fyter Fest, Matt and his brother Nick reportedly offered the team
a contract with All Elite Wrestling.

Matt then announced that he and his brother would be facing Private Party
on August 9th, in a match he said would likely be one of The Young Bucks
final independent matches.

Literally right when Private Party stepped back through the curtain after
their match at #FyterFest, Nick & I offered them full time contracts. Star making performances like that deserve to be rewarded.

Now we get to wrestle them in their home company, for what could possibly
be our final independent wrestling appearance.

Posted: 02 Jul 2019 05:56 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/hangman-page-and-kip-sabian-comment-on-their-fight-for-the-fallen-match/


It was announced this week that Hangman Page and Kip Sabian will be
competing at AEWs Fight For The Fallen, and both men have commented on the match.

Sabian and Hangman are both undefeated in AEW so far, with AEW deciding to
put the two men against each other in Jacksonville later this month
following Hangmans victory at Fyter Fest.

Hangman Page kept his comments about the match fairly simply, stating he is very excited for the match as he put over Kip, stating he is real good.

very excited for this one, kip is real good https://t.co/ZyAy1umZp3

- HANGMAN PAGE (@theAdamPage) July 1, 2019



Kip Sabian also commented on the announcement, going into slightly more
detail stating that this is the most important match of his career and that getting the win counts. He continued by claiming that if he wins, the title contention is real.

May 25th, first ever singles win in @AEWrestling history.

Yet this is my most important match in my career, against arguably one of
the best of our generation. Where getting the win counts.

Beat @theAdamPage & the title contention is real.

July 13th, 2-0 #Superbad https://t.co/eDNGytuvB5
