Becky Lynch Speaks On Wanting WWE Womens TLC match, Tag Teams

Posted on July 31, 2020 by pirhi

As one of the leaders of the WWE women’s revolution, Becky Lynch has been on the forefront of cutting edge advances in women’s wrestling these days.
In a recent interview with Ringside Collectibles, Lynch would like to see a number of firsts for the women’s division in WWE. Here are highlights from the interview:
What would she like to do or see come to the women’s division?

Now that I’ve done the Tables Match, I’ve done the Ladders Match – and I got hit with a chair at the end of it – I think it’s only due time I have a TLC match. I would also like to be part of the main event (at) WrestleMania. I would also like there to be a women’s Royal Rumble. I would also like there to be women’s tag titles.
Facing the other Four Horsewomen:
That would be a competitive matchup, but it’s our sport, not theirs, and that’s what I’ve been saying. I appreciate everything those women have done for their sport, but this our sport and this is our territory.
The Mae Young Classic and one of its standout performances:

Watching that warmed my heart and I’ll tell ya why, because when I started wrestling all of those years ago, we’re talking about being on the independents. We’re talking 12, 13, 14 years ago and seeing women who were there at the time and working – with no light at the end of the tunnel – and they kept progressing. So, Mercedes Martinez was one and she did so well and it was so great to watch her, having worked all that time and now get the platform she deserves.

Mysterio Not Coming to WWE, O’Reilly Joins NXT, Ellsworth Return

Posted on July 31, 2020 by pirhi

It was reported recently that Rey Mysterio would be leaving Lucha Underground soon, and that he was in talks to either return to WWE or debut for GFW. To update the situation, Sports Illustrated is now claiming that Mysterio is not going to be coming back to WWE. The company was believed to be interested in bringing Mysterio back as an ambassador for the Latin American demographic. Vince McMahon reportedly passed on signing Rey due to his friendship with Konnan, Mysterio’s representative. Mysterio could still end up in any number of promotions as Global Force Wrestling has still not yet officially signed him to any sort of contract.
This past week’s edition of NXT saw the surprise debut of former Ring of Honor World Champion Kyle O’Reilly. Kyle arrived in Full Sail University to challenge the undefeated Aleister Black. While O’Reilly did come up short in that match, it appears as though he has been rewarded for his efforts with an NXT contract. This comes not long after the news that his former tag team partner in ROH, Bobby Fish, had also been signed by WWE after losing to Black a few weeks back. While it is not a guarantee that they will be paired back up, NXT could use new tag teams, and an ‘ROH’ faction is rumored to be in development at the moment. Regardless, O’Reilly is officially part of NXT.

You wanted a platform…now it’s time to use it.

Smackdown star James Ellsworth is scheduled to be making his return to Smackdown any week now. The manager of Carmella was suspended by General Manager Daniel Bryan without pay for thirty days. However, his suspension officially ended on August 4th. It appears as though Ellsworth will be returning to Smackdown soon, and he could be coming back as early as the next episode which will be airing this Tuesday night. Ellsworth sent out a tweet reminding fans of the date and time that his suspension ended, but that tweet has since been deleted. It may be likely that WWE is saving his return for the upcoming show and they want fans to be surprised.

Update Regarding a Former WWE Superstar Debuting on GFW Impact

Posted on July 31, 2020 by pirhi

It was previously reported that former WWE Superstar John Morrison (a.k.a Johnny Mundo) will be debuting on Impact Wrestling soon. During the past couple of days, it was made official that he will indeed be debuting soon and he will be making an appearance on GFW television sooner rather than later.
The former WWE Superstar and soon to be former Lucha Underground star was scheduled to attend the upcoming StocktonCon 2017 convention which will be held on Aug 19 and Aug 20, however due to his contractual commitments with GFW, he will no longer be appearing at the event.
Earlier this week, StocktonCon officials confirmed the news regarding John Morrison not being able to attend the convention. Below is what the said:

“Very sorry to announce that due to a contractual agreement with GFW Impact Wrestling, [John Morrison] is unable to attend StocktonCon”
Morrison will be working on the upcoming GFW live events that will be held in the New York Tri-state area. Because of this, there have been rumors that he will soon surface on a future episode of GFW Impact Wrestling.
Below is the actual tweet that was sent out by the StocktonCon officials confirming the news regarding John Morrison not being able to attend the convention:

Very sorry to announce that due to a contractural agreement with GFW Impact Wrestling, @TheRealMorrison is unable to attend StocktonCon

The Boss Breaks Her Slump in Brooklyn, Claims Raw Women’s Belt

Posted on July 31, 2020 by pirhi

Sasha Banks and Brooklyn have not been a good pairing for The Boss over the course of her career, but she finally broke her slump with a victory over Alexa Bliss to claim the Raw Women’s Championship on Sunday at SummerSlam.
While things with Bliss probably aren’t completely settled, it’s fun to imagine some high-profile title matches coming up with Banks and Nia Jax, who have turned in some strong matches in the past few months. It’s no doubt Banks’ title reign was a last-minute switcheroo for WWE since injury kept Bayley, the initial No.1 contender to Bliss, from competing at SummerSlam, but in the short term this could set up some entertaining matches between Banks, Bliss and Jax. In the long term, this could set up the anticipated twist of having Bayley and Banks turn on each other.
Here’s an interview with Banks after SummerSlam on what’s ahead:

Dolph Ziggler’s Brother Imprisoned for 15 Years, Benjamin Update

Posted on July 31, 2020 by pirhi

Dolph Ziggler recently returned on Smackdown in a backstage segment wherein he revealed that he has discovered “the key” to what will finally make him a successful star in WWE after not being emphasized for several years. Before this appearance last week, Dolph had been off of WWE television ever since he was eliminated from the Independence Day Battle Royal on July 4th’s Smackdown show. His reason for being off TV was rumored to be creative running out of ideas for his character at the time. It turns out that Ziggler was also likely gone from television due to an enormous issue going on right now in his personal life that recently made a huge ruling.
A news report from Cleveland.com recently informed the public that Ziggler’s real-life brother, Donald Nemeth, has officially been sentenced to fifteen years in prison. He and his accomplice Jack King are being sentenced due to involuntary manslaughter. The two worked as union boilmakers and regularly purchased drugs from a man named Joshua Mascol. Security footage showed that the two attempted to rob Mascol, which caused a gunfight. It ended with Mascol being killed, but it is unknown who fired the fatal shot in the footage. Nemeth pleaded guilty and apologized for his crimes by saying, “I’ve been battling severe addiction issues and I lost a good friend because of it.”

One week ago, Shelton Benjamin returned to Smackdown after several months of dealing with an injury that prevented him from re-signing with the company in the past. Smackdown General Manager Daniel Bryan then announced that Benjamin would be teaming up with Chad Gable on tonight’s Smackdown show. Cageside Seats now reports that the match may have to be cancelled. Benjamin and his family live in Houston, Texas, and the belief is that he was not on the road when Hurricane Harvery hit the area. WWE has yet to officially announce that the match is indeed cancelled, but it is possible that Benjamin could still be at home due to the gigantic storm.

To my fellow Houstonian. The next few days will be a challenge to say the least. Be smart Be safe & let’s look out for one another.

Sasha Banks: “WWE Superstars Don’t Know What’s Going On”

Posted on July 31, 2020 by pirhi

“The Boss” Sasha Banks recently appeared on Sam Roberts’ podcast to talk about the creative direction the WWE has with the Women of the company. Here are the highlights:
Not knowing WWE creative’s plans:
“I think that’s what’s different about NXT too. We kind of always knew where we were going, so it helped me prepare and think of ahead of time, like, ‘how can I make this better?’. But when I go to RAW, it’s legit, like, ‘I have no clue what I’m doing.’ I don’t even know what to prepare for. I’m just, like, handed something or told something. And I was like, ‘okay, I have one hour to get ready. Oh, okay. Alright. Let’s just do it!’ So, honestly, I wish we had the opportunity to know what we’re doing in the next three months. If we’re going with a storyline, I would like to know, ‘yeah, we’re going with you and Alexa [Bliss] and this is where we want to take it and where we want to go’ instead of just being, ‘oh, maybe you’ll have a tag match. Maybe you’ll have a promo. Maybe you’ll have this random match that doesn’t make any sense or whatever. Who knows? Or maybe you’ll just sit in catering. Who knows?’”

Not being alone in that feeling:
“I think that’s with all of our [WWE] Superstars. None of them know what’s going on. When you see Monday Night RAW, we’re all surprised. Sometimes we’re even confused [about] where we’re going. And sometimes, maybe they don’t even follow through with a storyline, which kind of sucks sometimes.”
The NXT women’s division:
“I feel like the women’s division down there hasn’t really [taken] off the way that I would have liked it [to] have, like it should have been. And I would love to face Asuka. I mean, I don’t understand why she’s the longest reigning champion because I’m not down there. But they have so many incredible women down there and I just wish they were used more. That’s what I have to say about that.”

Melbourne SUV rampage victim dies from injuries

Posted on July 31, 2020 by pirhi

An 83-year-old man has died of his injuries after an SUV driven into a crowd of pedestrians injured more than 20 people in central Melbourne this month, Victoria Police said on Saturday.

Antonios Crocaris, from the Melbourne suburb of Northcote, is the first person to die from the rampage, in which a white SUV was deliberately driven into dozens of pedestrians in Flinders Street in the central business district on Dec. 21.

The alleged driver, Saeed Noori, could now face the upgraded charge of murder. He has already been charged with 19 counts of attempted murder and one count of conduct endangering life.

Noori, 32, came to Australia as a refugee from Afghanistan and Victoria Police said he is known to have a history of mental health issues and drug use. Police have said they don’t believe the attack was related to terrorism.

"Our father Anton had his life cruelly taken away in a senseless act of violence," Crocaris’s family said in a statement.

The attack took place on Flinders Street, a major road alongside the Yarra River, in Australia’s second-biggest city.

Six victims remain in hospital.

Noori will next appear in court in May and is being kept behind bars.

New Hollywood women’s group targets gagging clauses to tackle culture of silence over harassment

Posted on July 31, 2020 by pirhi

A new Hollywood women’s group is to target gagging clauses that stop sexual harassment victims from speaking out after gaining a surge in support from its launch.

Time’s Up, which formally launched on Monday, will attempt to discourage the use of non-disclosure agreements which legally bind employees in silence.

The controversial contracts made headlines last year after it emerged employees at Harvey Weinstein’s business were bound by such agreements.

It comes as more famous women pledged their support to the campaign group in an effort to tackle the problems revealed by the Weinstein scandal.

Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, wrote to her 41 million Instagram followers: "The clock’s been ticking on the abuse of power. I stand in solidarity with women across every industry to say Time’s Up on abuse, harassment, and assault.”

Other British celebrities including the model Cara Delevingne and the actresses Kate Beckinsale, Emilia Clarke, Thandie Newton, Naomie Harris and Karen Gillan expressed support.

The clock’s been ticking on the abuse of power. I stand in solidarity with women across every industry to say #TIMESUP on abuse, harassment, and assault. #TIMESUP on oppression and marginalization. #TIMESUP on misrepresentation and underrepresentation. Sign the solidarity letter and donate to the @TIMESUPNOW Legal Defense Fund: Link in bio.

A post shared by Emma Watson (@emmawatson) on Jan 2, 2018 at 1:23am PST

It also emerged that Taylor Swift, the American singer, donated $100,000 (£74,000) towards the group’s legal fund to help victims of sexual harassment.

More than 300 Hollywood women had backed the campaign, which placed a full page advert in the New York Times on Monday and made headlines across the world.

Members of the public responded with a flurry of donations to the group’s legal fund as celebrities across the world urged people to say “time’s up” on harassment.

As well as supporting victims and encouraging gender balance in the industry, the group will attempt to permanently tackle the culture of silence around harassment in Holywood.

Campaign figures want to discourage film companies from nondisclosure agreements – known as gagging clauses – which bar employees from discussing the inner workings of companies.

The contracts often remain in place even when someone has left the business and have been accused of helping to keep the lid on abuse scandals in Los Angeles.

Staff at The Weinstein Company, the film studio which Mr Weinstein co-created, wrote a letter demanding their release from nondisclosure agreements after the scandal broke.

"We ask that the company let us out of our NDAs immediately — and do the same for all former Weinstein Company employees — so we may speak openly, and get to the origins of what happened here, and how," the statement read.

Mr Weinstein has faced accusations of rape, sexual assault and harassment from dozens of women. His spokesman has repeatedly denied “any allegations of non-consensual sex”.

Stevie Ray Talks About His Brother, NWO

Posted on July 30, 2020 by pirhi

Stevie Ray, formerly of Harlem Heat and older brother to Booker T, appear on The Two Man Powertrip of Wrestling Podcast where he spoke about his current gig as a podcast host as well as his brother. Here are some highlights.

His immediate reaction to the infamous “N” word promo by Booker T:

“I really don’t care about that question because that’s got nothing to do with me. That is more of my brother’s thing. That is more of a question he might have gotten tired of. When people ask me about and ask what was I thinking? I wasn’t really thinking about it because I am getting ready to do my lines. It doesn’t really bother me that much and it’s funny (man) but people ask me what was I thinking? I wasn’t even listening. I am waiting to do my lines so in essence I’m not sitting there and listening to him like a fan at home is listening to him, I am listening to him subconsciously because I am waiting to do my lines for when Mean Gene comes to me. I am not sitting there listening to him word for word and I didn’t even realize that he had did it for a minute because with the clip on YouTube it cuts off before Mean Gene gets to me but if you watch the show I had a little soliloquy of what I was saying but Iknow we had to say something about Hulk Hogan and it is right before we had to go out and work so that is probably why it got so messed up because I think my brother was thinking about two different things entirely. But that is more of my brother’s shtick, not mine.”
The video becoming famous online:
“In all actuality, I had actually forgotten about that until it came out on YouTube several years later. People started telling me about it but it was just a night. I swear to God, I was just doing a story last night on my podcast and somebody sent in a question that made me remember a story that I didn’t remember until I read it. It triggered something in my head. That is just me. I’ve told people a thousand times that I have never taken pro wrestling home with me and it is just the job that I go to and when I am there I am all in and when I am not I am all out.”
Inducting Booker T into the WWE Hall of Fame:

“We had a great time. It was just electric. Everyone kept asking me am I nervous? How do I feel? This was all before the show and it is such a big production and I said NO! I’ve been in front of so many big audiences that it doesn’t bother me. I was prepared and I am looking at guys in the back going over their speeches with their reading glasses on and people were asking me where were my notes? I said they are in my head. When I came out and everybody gave me the ovation and started rooting “STEVIE RAY” I almost forgot everything that I was prepared for. I wasn’t expecting that and it threw me off. I looked in the audience and I see all these guys that I used to work with staring at me and that moment I was not ready for so I just put my head down (not looking at them) and everything kind of came back to me and I started everything up. I’ll never forget that and it threw me off because I was so ready until I walked out there. It was a very cool night.”
Becoming the leader of the nWo Black and White:
“I had a lot of fun. It was really cool and different than what I had been doing. It was cool to me and I really loved being in the nWo. People say to me that I was the leader at one time and I told this one day on my podcast, I felt like Fonzie with Richie and Ralph Malph and all the guys down at Al’s Diner (on Happy Days) with Potsie and Chachi that is what it was kind of like that being in the nWo. Me and Virgil, Scott Norton, Horace Hogan, Bryan Adams that was our gang. We hung together too so it was kind of cool and we had a good time.”
