    During his recent interview with WrestlingInc, the legend talked about a number of things and also revealed which star he thinks should break his record.

    Former AEW Champion Jon Moxley has reacted to the underwhelming ending of the Evolution PPV which he main evented alongside Kenny Omega.

    The hardcore star addressed the fans in the arena after the show was over and he called out the current AEW champion for not being able to create an exploding ring that was worth the hype:

    The former WWE star then went on to thank the fans for coming to the show and he also put over the wrestlers who worked the event. He said that the talent worked hard from the first match to the last before vowing to be back for his title.

    For those who don\’t know, Jon Moxley had slipped a rematch clause in his contract for the AEW title match at the Winter Is Coming special in December.

    While Kenny Omega agreed to give Mox his rematch, he said that he will choose the stipulation for the match and the AEW Champion had chosen an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch.

    Omega ended up winning this bout with some help from the Good Brothers but the talking point coming off of the PPV was the ending of the show.

    The ending saw the heels handcuffing Mox and leaving him in the ring for the explosion that was hyped prior to the match. However, the blast wasn\’t very powerful and it left the fans feeling underwhelmed.

  • AEW Confirms Date For Double Or Nothing PPV

  • Triple H On Why Vince McMahon Was Hesitant About His Documentary

    WWE executive vice president Triple H recently appeared on Roz & Mocha where he talked about a number of things including the upcoming Netflix documentary on Vince McMahon. The Game revealed that the Boss had always been hesitant to agree to a documentary on himself because he thought that nobody was interested in knowing about him:

    \”Prior to now, Vince was always hesitant to do it. With Vince, he really doesn\’t see himself — while Mr. McMahon is one of the most epic characters ever, he doesn\’t see himself as part of the programming. when you ask him about those things, he goes, \’Nobody is interested in me. They want to know about the stars and performers.\’\”

    Triple H continued by claiming that the story of the WWE chairman is amazing and every chapter of his life is unbelievable. The former world champion explained that no one gives Mr McMahon the credit for all the things he has been through and most people only see him as the evil tyrant businessman:

    \”The truth is, they do (want to know about Vince). The most difficult thing with Vince\’s life is making it succinct. Every chapter of his life is a whole other unbelievable story. His story is amazing, all the things he\’s been through, the trials and tribulations of getting to where he is. No one gives him the credit; they just see this billion-dollar global empire he\’s created and see him as the evil tyrant businessman,\”

    WWE announced back in October 2020 that Netflix will be producing a multi-part documentary focused on the chairman of the boards. The director behind Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, Chris Smith will be directing the series while Bill Simmons will be serving as the executive producer. The documentary series is set to be one of the highest budgeted Netflix documentaries of all time, though no timetable for its release has been revealed so far.

  • Big Cass Comments On His Return, Redemption Journey

    The former NXT star took on his Twitter to comment on his comeback after the video of his return made headlines over the weekend.

    \”After a long journey filled with an enormous amount of self-reflection, I now start my journey towards redemption. Thank you @The_BigLG for the opportunity, and thank you to everyone for continuing to believe in me #StraightOuttaStep12\”

    Big Cass\’ Road to Redemption

    Big Cass, who was once being eyed for a push in WWE after his break up with Enzo Amore, was released in 2018 due to behavioral issues.

    He returned to the independent circuit after his release and made appearances for several well-known promotions but the former WWE star also got into some controversies in the months following his release.

    He finally took some time off after an event in September 2019 and Enzo Amore had revealed that he had taken time off to seek help for his issues. This was Cass\’ first wrestling appearance since then.

    Big Cass also released a new shirt “Straight Outta Step 12” with the proceeds going to the Herren Project. It\’s a nonprofit organization that was founded in 2011 and provides free resources and support for the treatment, recovery, and prevention of substance use disorder.

  • Big E Recalls Forgotten Talks Of Him Joining The Shield

    Being part of the New Day with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods is one of the career highlights of Big E and joining the group has allowed the current IC champion to showcase a very unique side of his personality.

    However, on the latest WWE 24 special based on his life and his wrestling career, the former NXT champion revealed some forgotten talks which could have seen him debut as part of a very different group.

    During the episode, Big E remembered the time before his main roster call up and he revealed that at one point, there were talks of him debuting with The Shield as the fourth member of the group:

     “My first feeling of getting called up was 2012. I was doing loops. Any collective period of days is a loop. It’s Roman, Seth, Dean, and me.

    There was some thought of bringing all four of us in together as a group. Obviously, that changes, and they go on to international fame as The Shield.\”

    The plans were obviously nixed. The Shield ended up debuting as a trio in November 2012 and their impactful debut led to all three of the members being recognised as main event stars from the start of their career.

    Big E ended up on the main roster a month later where he aligned himself with Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee. He joined the New Day in the Summer of 2014 and the group has since created a unique legacy of their own.

  • JBL On How He Felt About WWE Splitting Up APA

    Being part of the APA was an important stop in JBL\’s career and the breakup of the group helped launch his run as a main eventer in WWE.

    The WWE hall of famer alongside his partner Ron Simmons appeared on the latest episode of WWE\’s The Bump where they discussed a number of things and relived the memories of their time together.

    During the interview, JBL also talked about their storyline break up in 2004 which saw John turning on his partner and the former WWE champion said that he would have been happy if the company never split them:

    “We knew it that it wasn’t gonna last forever. You know, we couldn’t be doing it to this day, we can go back and do the backstage stuff, but we wouldn’t be in the ring now, you know, backing that up anymore.

    So, we knew at some point it was going to end, which I hated. I would’ve been happy being an APA member my entire life. If JBL had never happened and I retired at the end of APA, I’d be perfectly fine with that.\”

    APA lost a “You\’re Fired\” match to the then WWE tag team champions Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty in March 2004 and it meant that both the stars will be released from their contract.

    However, General Manager Paul Heyman later revealed that Ron Simmons was the only one being released because the management saw potential in JBL. This storyline effectively ended the partnership between the two.

  • NJPW Unifying IWGP Heavyweight & Intercontinental Championships

    The news of this unification came after Kota Ibushi, who has been advocating for the title unification since Wrestle Kingdom 15, defeated Tetsuya Naito in a match for the IC title during the Castle Attack event.

    Jay White, who challenged for both titles at Night 2 of January\’s Wrestle Kingdom 15 event, commented on the unification news:

    IWGP Championship Unification

    The IWGP Heavyweight Championship is currently the highest title in NJPW. The belt was established in 1987 and Antonio Inoki is the first recognized champion.

    The IWGP Intercontinental Championship, on the other hand, was introduced in 2011 as the \”gateway to IWGP\” and the current WWE star MVP was the first person to hold the belt.

    The company is scheduled to hold a press conference on NJPW World at 3 PM JST today. They are expected to announce the news of the unification and reveal the brackets for the New Japan Cup during the event.

  • \”He\’s An A**hole\”: Jake Roberts Blasts Vince McMahon For Using His Personal Troubles Into Storyline

    WWE and its owner Vince McMahon are known for incorporating the personal issues of their superstars into various storylines over the years and Hall Of Famer Jake Roberts is no stranger to this tactic from the company.

    The promotion has previous used the veteran\’s troubles with alcoholism into a controversial storyline which also involved Hall Of Famer Jerry \’The King\’ Lawler back in 1996. Lawler even force-fed his opponent a bottle of bourbon after their match at SummerSlam that year.

    Roberts opened up about the controversial angle during his recent interview with Inside The Ropes, and he blasted Mr. McMahon, calling him an \’a**hole\’:

    “Well, I thought it was a horrible thing for McMahon to ask me to do, It was cheap, it was disrespectful,\” said the wrestling veteran, \”It didn’t prove a damn thing other than the fact that Vince McMahon’s an a**hole, so there you go. Lawler, he’s in the same boat. Both a**holes.”

    Jake Roberts has since turned things around. His win over his battle with addiction was chronicled in the 2015 documentary, Resurrection of Jake The Snake. He also talked about his efforts to get clean during the interview and the current AEW star explained that he wants to be around for long to spend time with his grandkids.

    The former hardcore champion took the name of former ECW owner Paul Heyman when asked the question. RVD explained that Paul was the only producer that ever had his best interest at heart:

    “Kinda has to be Paul [Heyman], doesn’t it? I think it has to be Paul. Sabu doesn’t talk very good [laughs], On the real, Paul is the only producer/agent that’s ever had my best interests at heart and understood me, you know and because of that, ya know it has to be him as predictable as it is.”

    RVD also revealed that WWE officials had recently contacted him for a documentary. He confirmed that it will be coming out in May this year:

    “They [WWE] contacted me and asked if I’d be interested and that they wanted to make a documentary on me, and I said sure, I’d be interested,

    We haven’t actually shot much of it yet, but, [whispering] it comes out in May. So we’re gonna be shooting a lot of it real soon. So I’m excited about it, I’m talking to them [WWE] about doing a book, we’re in talks.”

    Apart from this, RVD talked about his relationship with the WWE chairman Vince McMahon. He claimed that his relationship with Mr McMahon wasn\’t severed even after his WWE departure because he kept in touch with the boss.

Yes.\” said Flair, \”But, at the same time, he has earned my respect, and I think he has earned the respect of everybody and should be able to make the choice he wants.\”

    The WWE Hall Of Famer interestingly also explained that in past they all used to be aware of what\’s going on but now it\’s a different world. He is better off not asking and instead of trying to catch up, he just pretends like he is there.
