Cody says talks are already ongoing for three-hour tapings

Speaking to IGN India, AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes discussed the possibility of going three hours every week, although the third hour not necessarily airing on TNT.

Cody said that even though they will be live every week for two hours, not everyone on the roster will be featured on each episode, preferring to present quality over quantity. “Which means that some guys are going to have some time off. Which for the life and the well-being of a wrestler is a great thing to hear; that they’re not gong to be, every week, putting themselves in a high-profile singles match,” Cody told IGN.

Explaining that there will be no “participation award” in AEW, the idea is not to cram everyone in a two-hour show and said that he and the powers that be are considering producing an extra hour of content every week.

“It will probably live for people to stream on B/R Live,” Cody revealed. “We have a lot of resources and we want to make sure that people can plug into the wrestlers who we signed who they’re fans of. We’re going to try and keep everybody busy.”

RAW is usually criticized for its long, three-hour format and Smackdown currently tapes 205 Live afterward, making it another three-hour affair every week. Thousands of people file out of the arena after Smackdown, many of who not sticking around for additional tapings.

Maury Povich ready to solve the Maria baby daddy mystery: paternity test!

It looks like popular talk show host Maury Povich is being dragged into the Maria Kanellis baby storyline and Povich is ready to play ball!

Earlier this week, Maria Kanellis first claimed that Ricochet was the father of her baby, only to later reveal that Rusev is actually the father. Now WWE is raising the question of who really is the baby daddy, sending a tweet that also included Povich.

“I’ve got two words for you…Paternity Test,” replied the official Twitter account of the Maury Show.

The 80-year-old Povich has been hosting his tabloid talk show since 1991, a talk show which deals with troubled kids, unknown fathers, DNA tests, and all the craziness in between. He made the quotes “You ARE the father,” and “You are NOT the father,” famous, quotes that are used in pop culture and many memes.

Things that show you are a die-hard wrestling fan

Wrestling is a sport that has fans of all ages, sexes, backgrounds, races and nationalities. But have you ever thought what really makes a true wrestling fan?

What differentiates a die-hard fan and someone who only watches Monday Night Raw once in a while?

This post takes a look at the things that show you are a true wrestling fan. If you’re reading this post then you’re probably a legitimate fan but most of us fall under that average fan category.

However, take a look to see if you agree or not.

You remember the first live wrestling event you went to

Many people remember the first time they ever attended a live football match, engaged in online betting, or met their favorite musician. The same way, true wrestling fans will remember the very first live wrestling event they went to.

They simply can’t forget the first time they saw a live performance that they continue to see these days even if it is on television.

You have your wrestling action figures 

Legitimate fans of anything, be it a rock band, sports team, or TV show, still have the collectibles of whatever they follow.

A true fan of Boston Red Sox probably still has baseball cards of their favorite childhood players. So why wouldn’t a true wrestling fan have their old action figures and other memorabilia from the time they started following World Wrestling Entertainment?

Take some time to look around. You may find some wrestling collectibles from when you were a child.

You’ve previously been to an independent or local show 

Hopefully, you’re lucky to live near a local promotion that regularly puts on shows. True fans will not just know it because it is a $5 ticket and being hosted in the same room as the one their grandmothers play bingo in every Wednesday night.

In most cases, the wrestling is performed by people who don’t just take part for the purpose of making a living but also for the love of the sport.

Anytime they advertise a local show, whether it is your favorite promotion or a new promotion, a legitimate fan will try his best to support guys from his locality.

You don’t mind wearing your wrestling T-shirt when going out 

True wrestling fans will not mind letting others know they are ardent wrestling fans. Some people watch Monday Night Raw every week but they wouldn’t wear the WWE T-shirts in public.

There’s no point in watching WWE if you cannot talk about it openly. Be proud to put on that MLB cap when going out with friends. Otherwise, you will not be a legitimate wrestling fan.

Nobody would bother to look twice when someone wearing a Dallas Cowboy jersey walks by, so why should the situation be different when someone wears Randy Orton shirt in public?

You ignore the “wrestling is fake” talk

You have probably talked about wrestling in the presence of someone who is not a fan and heard the words “wrestling is fake.” What else can you do other than to ignore them?

You can debate about the skills and athleticism that are necessary for becoming a professional wrestler. But when someone tells you over and over again that wrestling is fake, you simply need to ignore them. If you can do that, then you are die-hard wrestling fan.

You wanted to become a wrestler when you were growing up

We all had that dream career or occupation we wanted to be when we grow up. For a majority of kids, it was a doctor, engineer, astronaut, pro football player or anything that seemed perfect at the moment.

If you’re a real wrestling fan, your dream was to be like Bret Hart, John Cena, Hulk Hogan or any other pro wrestler in history.

There’s nothing as cool as walking on to a stage with people cheering hard so you can kick the crap out of your opponent.

Being a pro wrestler is like being a rock star, police office and pro athlete, all combined to form one person. All die-hard wrestling fans wanted, and probably still want, to be professional wrestlers.

Your favorite wrestlers includes non-mainstream superstars 

If you watch different styles of wrestling, you are likely to find favorite wresters in a number of areas. We all have our favorite wrestlers and there are many reasons why we love those wrestlers. Some people go for mic skills and promos whereas others like the gimmicks.

However, people who look at the in-ring abilities of wrestlers notice and pick indy superstars. The mix allows you to enjoy the gimmicks and promos of WWE superstars like Chris Jericho and CM Punk, while at the same time enjoying the technical wrestling of independent wrestlers.

If you have not watched indy shows before, you should consider doing so. You may find a new favorite wrestler.

Netflix renews GLOW for fourth and final season

Netflix announced that it has renewed the series GLOW for its fourth and final season.

Season three, which was made available on Netflix last month, saw the ladies move to Las Vegas to be headliners as they continue their wrestling drama. Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin and Marc Maron will be returning for the fourth season along with creators and showrunners Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch.

The show has been universally applauded by critics and fans alike. GLOW has earned 15 Emmy nominations, including three wins. Season four is expected in 2020.

AEW’s Awesome Kong is also part of the cast who plays Tammé “The Welfare Queen” Dawson.

FOX brings in changes to how Smackdown will air coast-to-coast

TheWrap.com website is reporting that there will be some changes in how Smackdown will be airing throughout the United States once it moves to FOX and it will be different from USA Network.

While the show will air live for the eastern and central time zones at 8PM and 7PM respectively, those on the west coast will get a tape-delayed version starting at 8PM PT. Those who get satellite service on the west coast will also watch it at 8PM PT so it will no longer be “live” for them.

For those in the mountain time zone, they will get the show at 7PM, which would put the show on a one-hour delay but two hours before those living on the west coast get to see it. TheWrap also adds that in regards to mountain time viewers, the feed on their TV will depend on their cable affiliate with some seeing the show at 6PM MT and others at 9PM MT.

FOX will also offer live streaming on FoxSports.com and the FOX Sports App which will have Smackdown at 8PM ET live coast-to-coast, which means that if you’re on the west coast you can watch the show live at 5PM PT but only online. Episodes will be available on-demand on the Fox Sports app for 30 days.

Triple H rallies up the troops with passionate speech after NXT goes off the air

Triple H delivered a passionate speech to the Full Sail crowd after NXT went off the air last night.

“So that’s how we’re going to do it every single week right here Wednesday nights,” Triple H said, standing at the top of the ramp.

“And this is the truth. When I say ‘We are NXT,’ you are part of that. We are all NXT. I promise you every week we will give you every bit of passion, blood, sweat, and tears that we have. Everyone back here will give it all to you if you give it all back to us,” Triple H continued as fans went bananas.

“I am counting on you. There are certain people in life that you want in a foxhole with you. Every single one of you, I want in that foxhole with us. Be here every week and let’s show the world we are NXT. Stand on your feet and show the world who you are, show the world every Wednesday, the brand that you created,” a fired up Triple H said.

“Stand up…tell the world that We Are NXT!” he concluded.

The rabid crowd filled the arena with loud NXT chants as Triple H went around ringside to high-five fans and then walked through the crowd, standing in the middle of the fans as they all chanted NXT recreating some old scenes that resembled those from the ECW Arena.

Paramount Animation partners with WWE Studios for Rumble animated feature

Paramount Animation announced today that it has partnered with WWE Studios to co-produce the upcoming animated feature Rumble. The studio also revealed the main cast voicing the film, led by Will Arnett, Terry Crews and Geraldine Viswanathan. In addition, WWE Superstars Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns will be voicing characters in the film.

Also featured will be Tony Danza, Stephen A. Smith, Jimmy Tatro, Ben Schwartz and Michael Buffer. Susan Levison and Richard Lowell will serve as executive producers for WWE Studios. Reel FX and Walden Media are also producers on the film.

“Rumble is steeped in the world of wrestling, and what better partners to help bring this world to life than WWE?” said Mireille Soria, President of Paramount Animation. “They bring a pedigree and institutional excellence that is unmatched, and we couldn’t be happier to collaborate with them on this special film. We are thrilled to have a seasoned and dynamic cast in place to breathe life into this exciting story and can’t wait to bring it to audiences.”

Rumble is planned for release in summer 2020. The movie is set in a world where monster wrestling is a global sport and monsters are superstar athletes. Winnie seeks to follow in her father’s footsteps by coaching a loveable underdog monster into a wrestling champion. The film is directed by Hamish Grieve and produced by Mark Bakshi and Brad Booker.

Kenny Omega unloads on NXT, says AEW is full of real stars and not developmental talent

In a new sit-down interview with Sportskeeda, AEW Executive Vice President Kenny Omega took several digs at NXT and said that for him, this is not a war as they are in a different planet than their competition.

Omega acknowledged that it’s hard for him to say he’s going to “war” against people he calls his friends but then held nothing back in dissing WWE’s “developmental” territory. Omega said that if they were all on the same show together under the same promotion, he would be the main event while the NXT guys would be just the dark match before adding, “They’d be in the opening match of my main event match.”

But his comments did not end there. He said that AEW will be performing in front of 10,000+ people every single week but how can we call it a war when they’re on different planets?

“You’re going to see smiles on fans’ faces. You’re going to see real stars, not developmental talent. But real stars appearing on your television sets, every week,” Omega continued.

This is not the first time that Omega’s comments may face backlash. Back in June, he attacked both WWE and EVOLVE for scheduling their 10th anniversary event on the WWE Network on the same day that as Fight for the Fallen. He eventually deleted his tweet and then issued a clarification.

Name for AEW on TNT show finally revealed

With two weeks to go, All Elite Wrestling finally announced the name of their TNT show: Dynamite.

Tuesday Night Dynamite and Wednesday Night Dynamite were trademarked by All Elite Wrestling a few months ago which sparked speculation that this would be the name of their new weekly show on TNT. The Tuesday name was trademarked first but then another entry for the Wednesday name was submitted once it was decided that AEW would air on Wednesday nights.

The logo simply has the word Dynamite in all caps using the font and style of the AEW logo but this time using green color.

AEW debuts on TNT on Wednesday, October 4 at 8PM ET.

Lio Rush returns to NXT and becomes #1 contender for Cruiserweight title

What do Luke Harper, Rusev, Brock Lesnar, and Lio Rush all have in common? Well, mostly nothing except that they all made their return on WWE television in the same week.

Lio Rush returned to the ring during the NXT debut on USA Network and defeated Oney Lorcan to become the number one contender for the WWE Cruiserweight title. The Cruiserweight title and 205 Live Superstars will be mostly operating under the NXT brand moving forward, something that Triple H discussed in an interview last week.

“He had more issues than a magazine,” Mauro Ranallo quipped as Rush came down the aisle. Rush was aligned with Bobby Lashley last year and the duo were separated right after WrestleMania 35 due to several problems that plagued Lio’s run, issues that mostly revolved around his attitude and disrespect towards his peers.

Jake Hager back for third MMA fight with Bellator

Jake Hager, the artist formerly known as Jack Swagger, will be returning for his third professional MMA fight in October with Bellator MMA.

Hager will be competing against Anthony Garrett on October 25 at the Mohegan Sun Arena according to Ariel Helwani of ESPN. Garrett has a 4-2 record and last fought Jordan Mitchell during Shamrock FC 319 in June of this year, losing in round two.

Hager has a 2-0 record, winning against JW Kiser and TJ Jones, both fights which took place this year at Bellator 214 and 221 respectively. Hager made quick work of his opponents, winning both fights in round one in almost identical time. He finished Kiser with 2:09 on the clock and Jones with 2:36. Both wins came via an arm triangle choke.

WWE Superstar R-Truth accompanied Hager for his last fight.

The Undisputed Era reigns supreme on NXT

The Undisputed Era made history last night on USA Network after Roderick Strong defeated Velveteen Dream to win the NXT North American title.

Now, all four members of the faction – Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kylie O’Reilly, and Strong – are in possession of all the men’s titles in the brand. Cole is the NXT champion while Fish and O’Reilly are the Tag Team champions.

Cole won the NXT title at TakeOver: XXV back in June after he defeated Johnny Gargano and Fish and O’Reilly won the Tag Team titles a couple of weeks ago on NXT TV after they overcame The Street Profits.

This is Strong’s first singles title in NXT.

Weight training program for wrestlers: how intense it should be

Bulking or cutting are the two words you’ll always hear whenever it comes to weight, especially if you’re wrestling. If you want to be a part of a certain weight group, you’d need to make drastic changes to your weight, and that isn’t easy.

If you’re thinking of taking on a really intense weight training program, you’ll need to know exactly how much effort you should be putting in. Even those who aspire to be one of the people who are mentioned whenever the question of who is the biggest bodybuilder comes up, are aware that intense training requires a lot of rest and respect for your body’s capabilities. With a bit of research, you’ll be able to know more about how much discipline and what kind of lifestyle and diet is needed in order to achieve the body of a wrestler.

Here Are the 5 Things You Need To Know About How Strict Your Training Program Should Be:

The Workouts

According to mma Sydney, going down to the gym and busting out as much weight as you can is always going to be extremely tiring. The muscles you’re working out on that day need to be absolutely exhausted by the end of the workout every single time, but you never need to go overboard with weights you clearly can’t do. Not every set you do has to end in absolute failure to complete it. Managing the right weights for your current level helps you a lot more than adding extra weight and being unable to finish the entire set without failure. You should be going as hard as you can but you can’t do something you clearly are incapable of doing, as that could result in poor form and often also injury instead of results.

Resting Is Essential

Resting is just as important as exercising. Working out is ripping your muscle fibers apart for them to repair themselves and grow stronger, hence, working out is just ripping yourself apart but the actual growth occurs when you rest. No matter who you aspire to become like, they’ll tell you that rest is just as important as working out, so don’t ignore it!

Daily Calorie Intake

Whether you want to increase or decrease your weight, you always need to keep in mind your calorie intake every day. Knowing how much food you’ve taken in through counting calories helps you understand what you’re going to need to get where you want. If your calorie intake in your weight program tells you that you need to take in at least 4000 calories a day to bulk, it might be too intense. If it tells you that you need to take in less than 1500 calories a day if you’re cutting, then it’s also too intense. You can achieve the same results without completely starving/overfeeding yourself.

Programs will often give you very difficult instructions that are almost impossible to follow through with, and most of the time it’s unnecessary and the same results could be achieved without the intensity provided with the training program. Diets are capable of dropping/adding weights as long as you’re disciplined with them, and workouts shouldn’t result in injuries, just the natural exhaustion. Programs that are too intense, often discourage you from getting to your goals, so make sure you’re going at a comfortable pace.

Stunning Mandy Rose graces the cover of MAXIM Australia magazine

WWE Superstar Mandy Rose is the covergirl for the October 2019 MAXIM Australia magazine.

The 29-year-old New York native, who started on Tough Enough before moving to NXT and then the main roster, graces the main cover as she poses in gold underwear with the headline “Wonder Woman: Golden Goddess Mandy Rose – WWE’s Hottest Superstar.”

Rose is featured in a 10-page pictorial as she poses in a few different underwear and there’s also an interview with her that discusses her MAXIM photoshoot, her start in WWE, teaming up with Sonya Deville and much more.

These are photos that certainly are driving Corey Graves up the wall and you can see the whole pictorial below.

Ticket prices, pre-sale code, and seating chart for 2020 Royal Rumble

Tickets for the 2020 Royal Rumble went on pre-sale today with general sale taking place on Friday, September 20.

Just like last year, the Rumble will have a long entrance coming out from the dugout of the baseball stadium with WWE making use of a diagonal entrance which has a turn before entering the ring. All sections of the stadium will be on sale.

Ticket prices are $20, $35, $50, $75, 4100, 4150, $200, $300, and $500. Tickets are available by going to https://www.mlb.com/astros/ballpark/events/royal-rumble and using the pre-sale code RUMBLE to unlock the early tickets.

Next year’s Royal Rumble will take place at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. It holds over 40,000 fans in a baseball setting and will probably hold a little bit more for the Rumble.
