AEW President Tony Khan invites anyone from Impact to show up on Dynamite

AEW’s relationship with Impact Wrestling continued on last night’s episode of Impact on AXS TV with AEW President Tony Khan once again appearing in a taped, “paid ad” segment.

Khan reminded everyone that he has the power to stop the Hard To Kill pay-per-view main event which involves Kenny Omega but he won’t be doing that, instead, he invited Impact to send over anyone to Dynamite this week, or next week, or whenever.

Khan specifically name-dropped Impact’s tag team division and hinted that he might sign some of them depending on their contract.

This is the third week in a row that Khan appeared on Impact and was introduced to fans by Tony Schiavone as “the only owner in professional wrestling who is not a carny.” Both of them stood in front of a fireplace decorated with Christmas trees when delivering their address.

Raw rating for 12/21/2020

The post-TLC Monday Night Raw drew an average of 1,691,000 viewers this week, up 165,000 viewers from last week’s record low number.

Hour one started with 1,841,000 viewers, then followed by 1,701,000 in the second hour, and down to 1,531,000 viewers in the third and final hour.

Raw was #4, #5, and #6 in the top 50 cable chart among the 18-49 demographic and had 0.55, 0.53, and 0.51 ratings respectively. Raw was #20 in overall viewership for the night on cable. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)

The Young Bucks discuss being AEW Executive Vice Presidents, ratings war, and more

The current AEW World Tag Team champions, The Young Bucks, are the latest who got interviewed by Chris Van Vliet for his podcast.

The brothers talked about a variety of subjects, including being Executive Vice Presidents of All Elite Wrestling, the ratings war with NXT, and much more.

In the interview, Nick said that he has to “pinch himself” every Wednesday because he never thought they’d be doing this on a weekly basis. “It still feels like a dream. The hard part is the job and keeping everyone happy because you don’t even really realize it until you get into management that’s it’s hard to keep a lot of these wrestlers on the same page,” he continued as he explained the difficulties of holding an office job apart from being a wrestler.

“Because obviously there’s a lot of egos in wrestling and you want the wrestlers to be happy and that’s something that’s hard but it’s manageable and we’ve learned that you can’t always be the good guy so at some points you have to be the bad guy,” he continued.

Speaking about the ratings, Matt said that they pay attention to the numbers and everything they do because everything is now a competition. He admitted that their fans are very loyal to the company and no matter what’s on against them, they have a good base that will always watch no matter what.

The two also talked about balancing storylines and in-ring action, saying that Dynamite might not be as good as the previous week because you have to make a sacrifice and do something people won’t like or won’t feel like it’s necessary to watch.

“So that’s been a challenge having interesting storylines that normal people are interested in watching because sometimes we’ll maybe over complicate something or try to make it a little too complex and sometimes wrestling fans just kind of want to watch wrestling.”

A comprehensive guide for preparing for college wrestling

You’re a wrestling athlete in high school, and you can’t think of anything else you’d rather be doing. It’s your dream to compete professionally in college and hopefully become a wrestling champion. This is a great ambition to have.

It shows you have direction and you understand the path you’re supposed to take. However, you’ve probably heard that opportunity meets preparation.

The great wrestling athletes didn’t get where they are today out of luck. They got their hands dirty in training and setting themselves up for success.

Similarly, you should be looking for ways to make yourself stand out from the pack. There are probably numerous students who share your dream.

Therefore, you need to work at making yourself stand out. In this comprehensive guide, we provide all the information you need to set yourself up for wrestling success.

Prioritize Academic Success

One of the mistakes young wrestling athletes make is prioritizing wrestling along. Granted, you need to be good in wrestling to be considered a competitor in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

But this won’t happen if your grades are suffering. To enroll and compete in college, you need to be accepted in your university of choice.

This won’t happen if you’re not studying and keeping your grades up. It doesn’t stop when you get accepted into college. While you may get away with relying on an essay writing service once in a while, you must put in the work.

Find time to study and attend your wrestling practicing sessions. If you’re struggling with some subjects, it may be a good idea to get a tutor or seek help from top performers in your class. Do everything you can to ensure your grades and wrestling performance are not affected.

Perfect Your Technical Skills

Wrestling is a tough sport. Currently, you may be the best wrestler in your school. However, this shouldn’t make you rest on your laurels.

Remember, when you get to college, you’ll be wrestling with athletes that are the best in their country, school, and even neighborhoods. Therefore, there’s no room to relax and believe you’ve got what it takes.

You need to work on your technical skills before you get to college because the stakes are higher in college wrestling.

Some of the things you need to work on include:

  • Riding time: Learn how to control the mat for a minute or two against opponents
  • Improve your shots: College wrestling athletes are bigger and stronger, so learn how to improve your motions before taking your shot
  • Master an excellent finishing takedown: Learn smart ways to take down your wrestling opponent if you want to win all your wrestling matches

Practice, Practice, Practice

They say practice makes perfect. This adage applies to athletics as well. Again, remember that numerous students are coveting a place in NCAA college wrestling.

Therefore, there’s no room to relax and hope for the best. You need to devote your time to better your craft. If you’re not getting enough practice from your school sessions, consider hiring a trainer.

It may also help to attend competitions once in a while to know how you’d hold your own in a real competition.

Besides, competing with people you’re not used to gets you out of your comfort zone and allows you better your skills.

Reach Out to Schools

If you’re serious about professional wrestling, you can’t afford to wait for colleges to come to you. Most colleges have numerous options to consider and may not accept everyone.

Therefore, there’s a chance you’ll wait and not get your spot. Don’t let this happen. Pick up the phone, email, or do whatever you can to get the schools’ attention.

Tell them what makes you stand out and why you deserve a spot in their coveted institution. Alternatively, you can ask your coach to reach out to schools and request them to come and see you perform.

This initiative makes the difference between being accepted and waiting for a call that may not come. So take the risk.

Now Go

Opportunity comes once in most cases. You can’t afford to miss out on your dreams and passions because opportunity knocked, and you were not prepared. Use all the resources you have in high school to get better in wrestling, and don’t forget to study.

Take the time to network as well and reach out to as many schools as possible. The determination makes all the difference.

Also, delegate your tough schoolwork to professionals. Spend more time for wrestling.

Kevin Greene remembered by those who shared the ring with him

WWE acknowledged Kevin Greene’s death on the WWE.COM website today, mentioning his time with WCW towards the end of his football career.

The short story noted that the Pro Football Hall of Famer teamed with Roddy Piper and Ric Flair against Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Syxx in a victory at Slamboree in May of 1997.

“WWE extends its condolences to Greene’s family and friends,” the statement said.

Ric Flair, who also worked with Greene in WCW said he’s at a loss for words. “What started out as a relationship of mutual respect resulted in a bond of friendship throughout these years,” Flair wrote on Twitter. “I have 2 autographed jerseys that you inscribed ‘You are simply the best!’ Let me return this by saying you were the best!”

Sean “X-Pac” Waltman described Greene as an intense individual and said the six-man tag match from Slamboree 97 is one of the highlights of his career. “I’m honored to been a part of that with him. Very sad to learn he passed away today.”

Eric Bischoff, who brought Greene to WCW also said that he was very sad to hear about the passing of Greene. “An amazing NFL Hall of Famer, a great person and a friend. RIP Kevin.”

WWE announced 11 former WWE Superstars and celebrities who will be presenting several Slammy Awards tomorrow, virtually, in a broadcast starting at 10AM on the WWE Network and WWE’s digital properties.

Former Superstars include Mick Foley, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, and Trish Stratus, all of whom are WWE Hall of Famers.

Other personalities who will be appearing on the show include The Bachelor’s Demi Burnett, actors Clark Duke, Rico Rodriguez, and Ken Jeong, actress Raini Rodriguez, Jersey Shore’s Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, rapper Method Man, and Derek Baker from TikTok.

Legends Night set for first Raw of 2021

The first Raw of 2021 will feature several WWE Legends in a bid to save the falling ratings, with a themed episode titled Legends Night.

Several WWE Legends will be appearing on the show and those featured in the commercial which aired last night include Alicia Fox, Beth Phoenix, Big Show, Boogeyman, Booker T, Carlito, Hillbilly Jim, Ivory, IRS, Jacqueline, Jeff Jarrett, Jimmy Hart, Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, Mark Henry, Melina, Michael Hayes, Mickie James, Ric Flair, Sgt. Slaughter, Tatanka, and Torrie Wilson.

Themed episodes, especially when it relates to Legends appearing, are very popular with WWE fans due to the nostalgia factor but obviously it’s not the answer to restoring viewership apart from a one-week boost.

How Can Professional Wrestlers Overcome Loneliness?

Like other people, not all the wrestlers are happy in relationships, some are lonely because of their shy and humble, let yourself be naughty free and enlightened. But it’s not that easy to stop being shy and lonely. That’s why we’ll reveal some tricks and tips about overcoming loneliness for wrestlers (and pretty much everybody else).

Why are Professional Wrestlers Lonely and What to Do About It?

To regular people, the world of professional sport and entertainment can look like a perfect place. Sadly, the truth is much different. Being a professional wrestler doesn’t fix all the problems. Yes, they make good money and enjoy their fame. But a lot of professional wrestlers deal with loneliness and other problems regular people have.

Some of the reasons for loneliness among wrestlers are (we’ll explain each of them below the list):

  • people don’t realize that they aren’t their characters – wrestlers are actors too. Their personas are usually different from what you get to see on WWE.
  • the lack of time for themselves – professional wrestling is a hard job. They work long hours and train when they aren’t. That doesn’t leave a lot of time for socialization.
  • it’s hard to tell if people want to be with them because of the fame or them as persons – every famous person deals with this, wrestlers aren’t any different. When you’re famous, you can never be sure about other people’s intentions.

Where can Wrestlers Find Partners?

Wrestlers can find partners on every step, but a lot of them are still lonely. That’s why some of them join dating sites to find partners. Online dating lets them meet people who aren’t into wrestling, so they feel like they can trust them more. That kind of dating is becoming more and more popular among professional athletes. When somebody doesn’t know they could buy the whole site, they can be sure they are interested in them, not their money.

Other than dating sites, wrestlers usually find partners in the world of professional wrestling. It’s easier to date somebody who understands how stressful their job is. In those relationships, nobody has any false expectations, that’s why they work. That’s similar to cops dating cops and doctors dating doctors. An average person would have trouble understanding their lifestyle and schedules.

Some Tips that Can Help Wrestlers to Deal with Loneliness?

Fighting loneliness might sound silly to somebody who’s socially active and in a happy relationship, but loneliness is a big problem in the modern world. Below you’ll find tips that’ll help to defeat that enemy.

Become More Socially Active

It might look like professional wrestlers are always surrounded by people, always happy and smiling. That’s true in some cases, but most wrestlers are just doing what they’re paid for while in front of cameras. When lights turn out, a lot of them stay alone. The simplest way to stop being lonely is to become more socially active. Wrestlers should use every chance to hang out with their old friends and meet new people.

Spend Less Time Alone

After training and working, wrestlers are tired and want some time just for themselves. That’s understandable, but being alone soon becomes normal, and that’s the problem. Lonely people should do their best to be more social. At first, that’ll be a trip out of the comfort zone, but soon being around people becomes normal.

Make a plan to fight the mental and emotional habits of loneliness

This one is similar to the previous tip. Making a plan is the first step toward change. After that comes – taking action. Wrestlers are used to following scripts and schedules, so following a plan to defeat loneliness shouldn’t be hard to follow. Become more socially active, meet new people, repeat. Seems easy. That’s because it is. They have to exit their comfort zone.

Consider Going to Therapy

Therapy is the last resort, but if a wrestler can’t deal with loneliness alone, there’s no shame in seeking professional help. Talking with somebody who devoted their life to learning how to help other people is a great solution. On therapy, wrestlers (and anybody else) can speak freely about their problems. More importantly, professionals point them toward solutions.

Remember Loneliness is Temporary

Nothing lasts forever. Time is the machine crushing everything. It doesn’t matter how deep loneliness sinks its teeth in wrestlers, it’s nothing compared to the mighty jaws of time. A combination of advice we’d listed above and time will defeat loneliness every time. That’s a fact. None of the wrestlers stays lonely forever. They go through hard times and eventually find happiness.

You see, wrestlers aren’t that much different than us, normal people. They can be lonely and sad. They can be insecure and have low self-esteem. But they can also face their problems and find happiness. Hope that advice from above will help on that mission.

Smackdown rating for 12/18/2020

Smackdown did a 0.30 in the 18-49 demographic and was #5 on the top 50 cable chart. The show returns on the regular FOX this Christmas Day. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)

Former NFL player and WCW wrestler Kevin Greene passes away

Kevin Greene, the former NFL player and WCW wrestler, passed away yesterday at the age of 58. No cause of death was announced.

Greene played for the LA Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers, San Francisco 49ers and then coached the Green Bay Packers and the New York Jets during his illustrious football career. But wrestling fans will mostly remember him for his on-and-off two-year stint in WCW at the height of the Monday Night War.

The Hall of Famer participated in a few matches for the Atlanta-based promotion back then, teaming with fellow football player Steve McMichael, Ric Flair, Roddy Piper, and others. Greene also had a few singles matches, most notably against McMichael who had turned on him to join the Four Horsemen earlier and also against The Giant.

In total, Greene had five matches between June 1996 and his departure in July 1998.

Asuka becomes double champ with Tag Team titles win

The Empress of Tomorrow is now a double champ, joining the likes of Becky Lynch, Bayley and Sasha Banks who held two different titles at the same time. Apart from holding the WWE Tag Team titles with Charlotte Flair, Asuka is also the Raw Women’s champion, a title she has held since SummerSlam this year.

Following yesterday’s TLC, Asuka also became the first person to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles with two different partners after she teamed up with Charlotte Flair and successfully beat Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.

Asuka last held the Tag Team titles with Kairi Sane at this year’s WrestleMania, losing them to Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross on night one of the event. The pair spent 180 days as champions.

Adding her NXT title reign as well, Asuka has now spent 1,000 days and counting as a champion in her WWE career so far.

Can fighting rules help you to build strong relationships?

Fighting is amazing because its rules can lead you through life. What you learn in the gym can be transferred to any other area of life. Today we’ll explain how to use principles of fighting to build strong relationships. Wrestlers, boxers, and other fighters are using them to stay happy. You can follow them, too. Even if you aren’t a fighter.

What Fighting Can Teach You

Fighting can teach you everything. For starters, fighting can teach you how to fight. Yea, that was a huge elephant in the room. But there is much more to fighting than self-defence or competition. Rules and principles of fighting can teach you a lot about relationships, business, organization, discipline, and so much more.

Today we’ll focus on the rules of fighting you can use to secure you’ll be in a strong relationship. Just one interesting fact before we dig deep into the laws of fighting and relationships. Statistics show that most single wrestlers get to know each other through a mature dating site and other online services. Other fighters are using dating sites as well. Most people do nowadays. Now let’s see in detail how fighting can change your life.

Some Fighting Rules that Will Help in Relationships:

The following five rules will help you in achieving your goal – a healthy and strong relationship. But you can use this advice to make your business better or in almost any other aspect of life.

Use Time-Outs When Necessary

Some people believe that taking some time off is a sign of weakness. Those people have never been in a gym or a dojo. If you’ve ever trained any martial art, you know how hard it can be to keep pace with the rest of the crew when you’re dead tired. In those moments, it’s much better to take a time-out than keep pushing. Determination is great, but knowing when to take a rest is much better.

How can that rule help you build a strong relationship? Simply. When you and your partner are fighting for a while, don’t insist on fighting until everything is ruined. Take some time off and talk when both of you calm down. It is much easier to fix something than to build it from scratch. Don’t ever forget that.

Don’t Chase

Another principle of fighting that’ll help you in every aspect of life is – don’t chase because you’ll get caught. Everybody who has any experience in martial arts knows the feeling when you get hit, so you want to push harder and start chasing. Or you just become reckless and start chasing your opponent. That’s when most fighters get caught. Never do that. Stay composed, calculated, and stick to your gameplan.

In the world of relationships, that means you shouldn’t chase that one person you consider special. If you do that, you’ll lose a lot of energy, time, and resources. Many opportunities will slip through your finger because of that. Remember – don’t chase; make them adjust to your rhythm.

If You’re Going Around in Circles, Stop

Have you ever been sparring with somebody, and you keep throwing that one combination that seems ineffective? Everybody with martial arts experience did that at least once. Then the opponent learns your patterns and can use them against you. Let’s say you’re trying to hit them with the one-two-leg kick, and they keep blocking your punches and checking your kick. If it didn’t go through 2 or 3 times, mix things up. Go for a body with the second punch and switch the leg kick with a high kick. They won’t expect it, and you might finish the fight.

The same goes for relationships and seeking partners. If you’ve been trying the same tactics for a while and it doesn’t work – try a different approach. It’ll do wonders for your game.

Get Hurt and Recover

Injuries are part of the fighting. You should expect them if you’re training in any martial art. When an injury happens, the worst thing you can do is to keep pushing through it. It’s better to take some time off and heal. We’ll use Tony Ferguson as an example. He’s one of the world’s best fighters, but he took a beating from Justin Gaethje. Still, he stepped in the octagon with another killer the same year. He took a beating from Charles Oliveira because he didn’t take enough time to heal. Don’t do that to yourself.

If you get hurt in a relationship, take some time for yourself. Heal completely and come back stronger than ever.

Don’t Leave it Unfinished

One more famous rule – never leave it in the hands of judges. If you get a chance to finish a fight – do it. You’ll regret it if you don’t. The same work in relationships, too. If you have something to say to your partner, your ex, or somebody you like – get on with it. Finish that, and even if you lose, you’ll heal soon and won’t have any regrets and what-ifs in your mind.

Summary

Every fighting rule can be used to make your relationship stronger. We’d explained 5 of them. Follow them, and you’ll become a better fighter and partner in a relationship.

Steel cage match for Universal title on Christmas Day Smackdown on FOX

A huge TLC rematch for this Friday’s Christmas Day episode of Smackdown has been announced.

The Universal champion Roman Reigns will be defending his title against Kevin Owens again but this time it will be inside a steel cage match. Owens came mighty close to get the Universal title yesterday but constant interference from Jey Uso proved to be a bit too much for the former champ.

“Thank you all,” Owens wrote on Twitter after last night’s TLC with his match against Roman Reigns was universally praised. Reigns cheekily responded to Owens’ tweet, writing, “Our pleasure.”

Smackdown will not air live on Christmas Day but is being taped tomorrow. The show returns on FOX after last week it aired on FS1 due to college football.

The Miz cashes in MITB briefcase…and fails!

The Miz became the fifth Superstar failing to cash his Money In The Bank briefcase after yesterday he inserted himself in the TLC match for the WWE title…and came up short.

He now joins John Cena, Damien Sandow, Baron Corbin, and Braun Strowman on this list. The MITB briefcase was successfully cashed in 16 times so far when it comes to men’s matches, and three from the women.

The Miz took over the briefcase from Otis a few months ago after Otis won the ladder match back in May. He never cashed it in and then put the briefcase up for grabs in a match against The Miz in which he lost after his former tag team partner Tucker turned on him.

Miz already has one successful cash-in under his belt from 10 years ago against Randy Orton.

Royal Rumble 2021 to take place on January 31

The 2021 Royal Rumble will be taking place on January 31 and while no location was announced, it’s highly likely it will take place from the ThunderDome inside Tropicana Field.

WWE had been working on trying to get some fans inside the building for the Rumble although at this point nothing has been announced. The last time there were fans to watch WWE programming – apart from NXT – was the March 9 episode of Monday Night Raw which was held in Washington, DC.

A fan-less Royal Rumble has never been done and usually the crowd plays a major part in the show, especially when it comes to the counting down of the timer.

The winners of the two Royal Rumble matches will get a title shot at WrestleMania 37, which is supposed to take place from the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. An announcement about WrestleMania is also scheduled to take place early next year as the show is probably moving from there and going to Tampa.

Charlotte Flair returns and wins Women’s Tag Team titles with Asuka

The Queen has returned! Charlotte Flair ended up being Asuka’s mystery partner at the TLC pay-per-view after her original partner, Lana, was taken out.

A happy-looking, smiling Flair posed with her arms open before the match, her first one in the ThunderDome, and by the time the night was over, The Queen and The Empress were crowned the new WWE Women’s Tag Team champions. Flair got the win for her team with the Natural Selection on Shayna Baszler.

Flair has not been on WWE television since late June after undergoing surgery to repair her surgical implants. Her last match was incidentally enough against Asuka and Asuka got her first one-on-one win against Flair on that day.

A few weeks after surgery, Flair wrote that in 2018 after WrestleMania, she found herself very sick and a trip to the doctor later, it was revealed that the problem was silicone poisoning, with one of her implants leaking for a while. She said that she was given a few options to fix the problem and chose the option with the quickest recovery time because she loves this business more than anything. This time around, the surgery was more cosmetic to fix an issue from the prior surgery and vowed to take her time and let her body rest before returning to the ring.

TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs 2020 pay-per-view results

Here are the results from last night’s TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view which took place from the ThunderDome inside Tropicana Field in St Petersburg, Florida.

Big E, Daniel Bryan, Chad Gable, and Otis defeated King Corbin, Sami Zayn, Cesaro, and Shinsuke Nakamura in an eight-man tag match in the Kickoff show; Drew McIntyre defeated AJ Styles and The Miz in a TLC match to retain the WWE title with The Miz unsuccessfully cashing in his MITB briefcase; Sasha Banks defeated Carmella to retain the Smackdown Women’s title; The Hurt Business defeated The New Day to become the new Raw Tag Team champions; Asuka and Charlotte Flair defeated Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax to become the new WWE Women’s Tag Team champions; Roman Reigns defeated Kevin Owens in a TLC match to retain the Universal title; Randy Orton defeated The Fiend in a Firefly Inferno match.
