Jeff Jarrett Announced For WWE Hall Of Fame

Jeff Jarrett is the latest member of the WWE Hall of Fame’s Class of 2018. The news was first announced by NBC Sports and later confirmed by WWE.

Jarrett’s induction is a surprising one, as the Tennessee wrestling legend has had a rocky relationship with WWE over the years to say the least.

“I would have never dreamed that in 2018 I’d be going into the Hall of Fame,” Jarrett said to NBC Sports last week, “but as I’ve sat back and looked I said, ‘Welp, I guess there are some things that are just meant to be.’”

Jarrett has held countless championships throughout his illustrious career. In WWE, he held the Intercontinental championship 6 times, the European Championship and the WWE tag team championships with Owen Hart. He was a 4-time WCW World Champion and a 6-time NWA World Champion in the company he co-founded, TNA Wrestling.

Jeff Jarrett joins Bill Goldberg, The Dudley Boyz and Ivory in the Class of 2018.

“It’s a humbling honor and I will be accepting it on behalf of just not myself, but my wife Karen, who has had to go through ups and downs. My dad, my stepmom, my uncle, who just passed away. My grandfather, my grandmother on the other side of my family,” Jarrett told NBC Sports.

“It’s a three generation business, so I’m accepting it for everyone in my family because it is a family business. That is something that is so humbling to me. I’m the one who got picked, but it’s really an award for the entire Jarrett family.”

The 2018 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony takes place Friday night, April 6th from New Orleans, LA during WrestleMania 34 weekend.

Randy Orton isn’t hopping aboard the Ronda Rousey hype train just yet. Not until she steps in the ring, at least that is.

TMZ reporters caught up with Orton at an airport recently and asked him about the former UFC bantamweight champion joining WWE.

Randy Orton on Ronda Rousey in WWE

At first, Orton gave his normal sarcastic blowoff to the reporter, stating he doesn’t watch Raw because he’s a Smackdown guy. He eventually did give a serious answer to the reporter, however.

“Based on what she’s accomplished, I would say she has a good chance to become one of the top female wrestlers eventually but she has a long way to go.”

The reporter continued to ask if he thought Rousey could one day become a Hulk Hogan type figure in wrestling.

“There’s no way to tell”, Orton responded. Orton then asked when Rousey was scheduled to sign her contract and stated we will all found out how she does from that day forward.

Update On Accused Steroid Dealer’s Claims Against Roman Reigns

Accused steroid dealer Richard Rodriguez claims he will produce ‘evidence’ that proves Roman Reigns was one of his clients.

Rodriguez was arrested by the DEA last February after a raid on his Iron Addicts Gym in Miami, Florida. From jail, Rodriguez has implicated Reigns and Hollywood stars Mark Wahlberg and Josh Duhamel as some of his high-profile customers.

As Rodriguez’s allegations made headlines last month, Roman Reigns put a statement forcefully denying everything. Not only did Roman Reigns deny taking banned substances, but he claims he’s ever heard of Richard Rodriguez or his companies.

Reigns stated, “I learned from the mistake I made nearly two years ago and paid the penalty for it. Since then, I’ve passed 11 tests as part of WWE’s independent drug testing program.”

Rodriguez claims Reigns and several other WWE Superstars have been passing WWE’s Wellness drug tests by using short-acting testosterone that moves through their systems quickly and is harder to detect.

In his latest video featuring a phone conversation with Richard Rodriguez, documentarian Jon Bravo and Rodriguez outline their “evidence” against Josh Duhamel and claim they will produce evidence against Roman Reigns later this week.

Ring of Honor’s streaming service, Honor Club, is now available. Fans can sign up for the service as of this morning.

While no date had been announced for the service’s debut, ROH has been advertising its launch would be imminent.

Ring of Honor’s Honor Club

Honor Club is a tiered service, so there are differences between it and WWE. If you sign up for the VIP plan, you have to pay the annual fee all upfront.

The normal service can be purchased for $9.99 a month or $99.99 annually. This service provides access to the VOD vault of old ROH content, weekly TV shows, discount on live events and merchandise, and 50% off all PPVs.

The VIP service includes everything the normal membership does but pay-per-views are free. So, they are trying to offset any PPV losses they may incur by asking fans to sign up to the VIP service upfront or still pay for half the PPVs.

VIP service requires an annual fee of $119.99.

Mark Henry saw the new Marvel movie, “Black Panther” last night. Evidently, the film had quite an impact on him.

Henry gave a short description of his reaction to the film below:

Mark Henry in 2018

Earlier this year, rumors stated Henry was officially retired. Henry would refute those rumors, however, and simply stated he was spending more time at home these days to be with his family.

His role with WWE nowadays is more as an ambassador. Henry explained his current role as follows:

“For the most part, my whole deal right now is trying to bring more awareness to the WWE, its charities, [and] its programs. Travel the world and introduce our business to people that don’t have the WWE. Our developmental franchise, NXT, I scout. There’s guys in the company now: Braun Strowman, Baron Corbin, and Apollo Crews that I’ve helped cultivate, ya know and say, ‘Hey, that guy can do something. Bring him in.”

The Young Bucks aren’t going to give up recruiting CM Punk. In fact, it appears the tag-team is going “All in” in their efforts.

Punk and the Bucks recently had a back-and-forth on Twitter which some fans took as an attempt to get Punk to wrestle at the planned “All-In” event in September.

Punk then pretended to not get the reference.

Punk and the Bucks have teased fans like this before. Matt Jackson has told fans they’ve done everything they can to get Punk out of retirement and the ball is in his court. Jackson has also told fans that Punk told him he’d be the first one he’d call if he does decide to come back.

Chicago is one of the cities heavily-rumored to be hosting All-In on September 1st, 2018.

Josh Mathews On How Jeremy Borash’s Departure Affected TV Tapings

Josh Mathews recently participated in an Impact media call and talked about the impact losing Jeremy Borash had on the set of TV tapings from Orlando last month.

Mathews stated they made the move to bring Sonjay Dutt onto the broadcast team 3-4 days after finding out Borash was leaving for WWE. He disputed reports that commentary without Borash was over-dubbed after it was discovered Borash was leaving the company.

“Our next video session, when we found out that Jeremy was leaving the company was like three or four days later and we had time to come up with a different game plan, and come up with what the right decision was going to be. There was a lot of different opinions, a lot of different thoughts, and I think the final decision was the best one they could have made. Sonjay [Dutt] came here and did great. And now we have that situation in place.”

Changing Role for Josh Mathews?

There has been some speculation Mathews could be removed from the broadcast team as well. Some rumors have suggested he could be moving into a manager’s role. If that is the case, Mathews isn’t letting on. Mathews indicated there have been no further changes to his role or the broadcasting team since Borash left.

“The stuff that I do stays the same, stayed the same, doesn’t change,” Mathews said. “I wish (Borash) nothing but luck and success down there, it’s a different beast. But as far as what I do, nothing was affected other than switching back from color commentary to play-by-play announcing, which is what I have been doing for fourteen years.”

Billy Jack Haynes Claims to Have Witnessed a Double-Murder

Retired pro-wrestler Billy Jack Haynes, wrestled from the early 1980s to the mid 1990s and was with the WWE from 1986-1988. While working as a WWF superstar in 1987, Haynes claims he also trafficked cocaine and witnessed a double-murder.

Haynes came forward late last month after having connected with the parents of the victims in 2016 and working with a private investigator.

Boys on the Tracks Killings

“In August of 1987, I was contacted by an Arkansas criminal politician and was asked if I would provide muscle at an Arkansas drug (transaction),” Haynes explained, though he never named the “criminal politician” he referred to.

“While conducting security for the drug money drop, I witnessed the murders of two young boys: Kevin Ives and Don Henry. They were murdered by other individuals who were working for the same criminal politician. Their bodies were placed on the railroad tracks to be mutilated by a passing train,” Haynes stated.

The deaths of Kevin Ives and Don Henry were originally declared suicides. A later ruling stated the two boys passed out on the train tracks after smoking marijuana. A further autopopsy showed the boys had been knocked unconcious before being placed on the tracks. Finally, a Grand Jury eventually declared the deaths as homicides, though no arrests have ever been made.

“We’re in the process of corroborating his information,” the mother of Kevin Ives stated in response to Haynes’ claims. “We feel very hopeful and excited.”

Artist Rob Schamberger Talks Brock Lesnar Watching Him Paint Before A Match, Start With WWE

During an interview with FOX 4 Kansas City, WWE portrait artist Rob Schamberger revealed that Brock Lesnar once watched him paint as he was getting ready for a match against Seth Rollins.

“While I’m in the back painting (during WWE Battleground 2015), I feel this presence behind me. I don’t see or hear anything. It’s just like a sixth sense. I feel it. I turn around, and it’s Brock Lesnar watching me paint,” Schamberger said.

“It turns out Brock is actually a bit of an art fan and just wanted to watch me paint while he was preparing for his match. He went out and just destroyed Seth Rollins.”

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHy7Gm2Texw&w=620&h=349]

Schamberger, who hosts the popular Canvas 2 Canvas YouTube series and whose work is seen on countless pieces of WWE merchandise, began working for the company in 2014 after creating a piece celebrating WrestleMania.

“I debuted with WWE at WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans,” Schamberger said. “I painted a 7-by-5 piece that was celebrating the 30 years of WrestleMania. No pressure at all, right? But it was really successful, and I feel like it was a good place to start.”

Schamberger’s passion for art and WWE has transformed him into somewhat of a celebrity. To the dream chasers, he says if you really want to make things happen, you have to stand out.

“There’s one of three things you have to do. You have to be the first, you have to be the best, or you have to be different than everyone else. If you can find one of those things, you’re going to do it. If you can get two, you’re going to be a raging success. That’s what worked for me, and it’ll work for anyone.”

Alexa Bliss Not Happy With Raw Tag Match, 25th Anniversary Of Kerry Von Erich’s Death, Dana Warrior

– Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss is not happy with having to team with Absolution tomorrow night on Raw.

WWE announced earlier today that the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match participants will square off in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match this week on Raw as Bayley, Sasha Banks and Mickie James take on Bliss, Mandy Rose, and Sonya Deville. In this video from backstage at tonight’s WWE live event in Prescott, Arizona, Bliss expresses her displeasure with Raw General Manager Kurt Angle making her team with Rose and Deville.

She said, “Tomorrow, he’s making me tag with Absolution; two girls that I’m competing against. First off, how is that fair? It’s not. And second, how do I know they’re not going to try to take me out to get a competitive gain?”

– It was 25 years ago today when Kerry Von Erich, a one-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion and one-time WWF Intercontinental Champion, died.

On February 18, 1993, Von Erich committed suicide with a single gunshot to the heart with a .44 caliber pistol on his father’s ranch in Denton County, Texas. Earlier that week, a judge in Dallas issued an arrest warrant for Von Erich after he was charged with cocaine possession. Since he was on probation for a drug conviction in September 1992, this violation would have likely resulted in extensive jail time.

Kerry was the fourth of six brothers in his family to die in nine years and the fifth overall.

Kurt Angle Q&A: If The Shield Will Reunite Again, Lessons He’s Learned, More

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently did a Q&A on Facebook and commented on a number of interesting topics.

During the session, a fan asked if The Shield will reunite again. If you recall, late last year, the sports entertainment company once again put Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose together as a group. However, their reunion was cut short once Ambrose, unfortunately, went down with an injury.

“The Shield has been dealing with a lot of setbacks and injuries. But they will unite again. Be patient”

Finally, the current General Manager of WWE’s flagship show, Monday Night Raw, was asked which move hurts the most to take as well as well as the lessons that he has learned from his career.

“The Last Ride. It’s like getting shot in the chest. Undertaker is 7 feet tall…when he lifts you over his head you’re 8 feet in the air. It’s a long ride down to the canvas”

“Don’t wrestle injured. Take your time, heal up, and THEN get back to it. I rushed back way too quickly in the past. I know better now. I hope the others’ will see this post also and take my advice. They will have longer careers”

WWE PPVs Explode With Dual Branded Events Each Month

Roderick Stedman

WWE have announced a new update for their PPVs after WrestleMania 34 in April.  The main changes come in the form of having both brands feature every month at the same event.  This contrasts previous years which had brand specific PPVs each month, with joint events for the “Big Four”.

“After WrestleMania, you’ll get the best of both brands – Raw and SmackDown LIVE – every month, on every pay-per-view.  Catch every event streaming live on the award-winning WWE Network.”

  • WrestleMania 34 – April 8, 2018
  • WWE Backlash – May 6, 2018
  • WWE Money in the Bank – June 17, 2018
  • WWE Extreme Rules – July 15, 2018
  • SummerSlam – Aug. 19, 2018
  • WWE Hell in a Cell – Sept. 16, 2018
  • WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs – Oct. 21, 2018
  • Survivor Series – Nov. 18, 2018
  • WWE Clash of Champions – Dec. 16, 2018

Does the prospect of more dual branded PPVs excite or intrigue you?  Or is this the beginning of the end when it comes to the brand split?

The other question that is being thrown around the rumour mills is how will WWE use the brand divided titles.  Many suspect that 9 championship titles will be too much for the reduced calendar; however The Wrestling Observer also revealed that the new PPVs will be an hour longer!  That means that the new events will be 5 hours long (including the Kick Off Show).

Is this a positive development, or a step backwards?  Perhaps from a WWE perspective, this is just a change to keep things fresh and interesting, what do you think?

Mark Henry Comments On Hulk Hogan Potentially Returning To WWE

Longtime WWE superstar and former World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry gave his take on the potential return of Hulk Hogan to the sports entertainment company.

During a recent interview with TMZ Sports, the media outlet asked Henry what his thoughts were on Hogan coming back to WWE. Henry noted that he would be open to Hogan returning to WWE if he simply apologizes to the company’s current black superstars.

Hogan was fired from WWE in the summer of 2015 after racially charged comments from a sex tape came to light. Gawker alleged that Hogan only filed a lawsuit against them to prevent the racial statements from being released.

Hogan’s WWE return has depended on the company being reasonably sure that bringing him back won’t cause a big backlash due to his racist comments. It’s possible that WWE hires him in an Ambassador role.

Joe Rogan and Tony Hinchcliffe Break Down WWE Finishing Moves

UFC broadcaster, Joe Rogan, has been critical of wrestling in the past but admits he was a fan growing up. His frequent opening-act, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, is a big fan, however. You can catch Hinchcliffe and some of his fellow comedians from Los Angeles’ “Comedy Store” on their wrestling podcast “The Store Horsemen”.

Hinchcliffe recently appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast and the two analyzed finishing moves often found in wrestling.

Joe Rogan and Tony Hinchcliffe Break Down Finishing Moves

Rogan admitted to liking Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka growing up but felt it was silly how he always ended up on the top rope to give to someone his flying splash. On the other hand, Rogan was a big fan of Bob Backland, whose style was more based in reality.

Figure Four Leglock: The general consensus here is this move would hurt but there is nothing stopping the other person from just getting up and getting out of the hold. The person could also reverse this by putting a heel hook on the wrestler putting the move on.  They were using an HBK figure four leglock as an example, however.

John Cena’s STF: Real move and would totally mess a person up.

They discussed others but those were the only clear conclusions they reached.

WWE Superstar Rusev recently did an interview with Wrestling Inc. to talk about several professional wrestling topics. “The Bulgarian Brute” discussed what “Rusev Day” meant to him and the passion behind it:

“It’s more than just a catchphrase – it’s a mentality. t’s celebrating yourself; celebrating who you are. It’s more than just catchphrase. If you think about it, it’s Rusev Day. So it’s more than that. People understand that, and the passion behind it. That’s why people get behind it, and it’s just been amazing to see.”

Rusev also said that he feels very proud that the “Rusev Day” chant has really taken off with the WWE Universe:

“It just makes me proud. Every time I hear someone say ‘Rusev Day’, it makes me smile. The fact that I was a bad guy, a foreigner that never wanted – that wanted to get out of there , to be able to just have fun, to be ‘you’. It’s good, man. It’s a good feeling. It’s the best time of my career, the most fun of my career. Right along the time I was feuding with Lana.”

He also revealed that his initial pairing with Aiden English was meant to be a joke, but the pair ended up hitting it off:

“I have no idea whose idea it was.  It was uh… it was supposed to be a joke, a one-time thing. But then we just hit it off. It was right; the chemistry – and we were playing off each other. The people started loving it since the beginning. So it was a no-brainer for us to be together, for us to keep doing magic.”
