2020 WWE TLC PPV Pick’em report

By
Magnum DA
-

Hey everybody!! It’s @TheMagnumDA with the final PPV Pick’em report of 2020! Tonight, it’s TLC, and after everything we’ve been through, I’m sure people are looking forward to 2021…but we still have one show to go, so it’s time to see if I can end 2020 as the WOPC Champion! The #1 Contender for this Confidence Pool Pick’em? Our very own Colin Vassallo. With that, I say one last time this year…ON WITH THE PICKS!

WWE Raw Tag Team Championship Match
The New Day (c) vs. The Hurt Business (Shelton Benjamin & Cedric Alexander)

Magnum: The Hurt Business have been chasing The New Day the entire season, so it only makes sense that they finally stake their claim at the gold. It’s going to be a really good match, but The Hurt Business are walking out of TLC with the belts. I’ll put two points on it.

Colin: Meh, I’m not really fussed about this match. It’s probably going to be a filler. The New Day needs to go on a hiatus and break up for a little bit. Let’s hope for new champions: The Hurt Business. One point.

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Match
Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Asuka & ???

Magnum: I wonder if this is the end of Lana – there’s this tendency for wrestlers (at the end of their contract) to go on a winning streak, and then get written off out of nowhere. I think Asuka will either bring Lana back in a bait and switch, or this will be a possible NXT call-up, or it could be a huge return. Could get interesting! Either way, as with most mystery partners, there’s going to be new champions. I’ll take Asuka and her partner…Charlotte Flair. I’ll put three points on it.

Colin: Bummed that Lana won’t be in this match. Maybe they bring back a former Superstar to tag with Asuka? Whoever is her partner, Jax and Baszler will win and whenever they lose the title, Lana has to be in that team considering what’s been happening. I’ll put two points on it.

WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship Match
Sasha Banks (c) vs. Carmella

Magnum: I have a lot of confidence in Sasha Banks staying champion for the foreseeable future. That said, they did take some time building up Carmella. But..it kinda fizzled out. I’ll take Banks to retain – I’ll put five points on it.

Colin: This has been Sasha Banks’ year. Well, her and Bayley’s. For me, they carried the promotion when it mattered. Can’t see them taking the title away from Sasha just yet and she’s been on the receiving end of Carmella’s attacks many times over the past few weeks, so payback time. Sasha wins – five points.

Firefly Inferno Match
“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton

Magnum: I keep thinking that this is Wyatt’s match to win…but then I thought about it…if Orton wears his traditional outfit, there’s not much of him that can catch fire, right? Anyways, Bray on fire would make more sense, though I’m not sure how they get there. Maybe Alexa Bliss? One point for Orton.

Colin: I am assuming this will be a cinematic match? I remember their snooze fest match at WrestleMania, that was one of the worst WWE title matches at a Mania. Hopefully if this will be cinematic, it will make it better. As far as a winner goes, hmm, I’m going for The Fiend. Three points.

WWE Universal Championship – Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Kevin Owens

Magnum: Kevin Owens sold me on this show with his promo to Paul Heyman during Talking Smack. That said, Roman’s in the middle of a major title run, and he’s not going anywhere. I wish there was a better ending than Goldberg, but for right now, Roman Reigns stays the man. Should be a hell of a match. Six points.

Colin: This should be good, really good. The ending of Smackdown on Friday was great and Owens talking to Heyman afterward on Talking Smack was just as good. I’m 100% sure that Reigns will win but Owens will come out looking strong even defeat. Six points.

WWE Championship – Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match
Drew McIntyre (c) vs. AJ Styles

Magnum: This is the match where anything could happen. I think, of all nights, this is the one where The Miz tries to cash in his briefcase. I really like Drew retaining the title during this crazy match, but look for The Miz to find a way to end the show as the WWE Champion. I’ll put four points on Drew.

Colin: I’m all for AJ Styles carrying the WWE title, but I don’t think that will happen tonight. I’m also hoping that we don’t end 2020 with The Miz as champion, although I would not be surprised if they pulled the trigger tonight. But for the purpose of this match, Drew McIntyre wins. Four points.

Well, there you have it! From all of us at W-O, we want to thank you for joining us each month for these pick’ems. The only thing left to do? Let’s get ready to RRRRRRUMBLE in 2021!!! @TheMagnumDA signing off.

Matt Riddle is close to signing a huge, new WWE deal according to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter with Dave Meltzer reporting that the former UFC star will be getting over a million dollars for his services.

The new three-year deal is worth $400,000 per year, for a total of $1.2 million plus an additional $50,000 for every time he performs in Saudi Arabia when the tours in the country restart.

The 34-year-old has a WWE deal that expires in August 2021 so WWE is clearly eager to get him locked for a few more years.

Riddle joined WWE in mid-2018 and was assigned to the NXT brand, officially debuting in late October of the same year. He moved to the main roster in June of this year, first wrestling on Smackdown before he was traded to Raw during the draft episode in October.

Game Changer Wrestling owner Brett Lauderdale reacted to the story on Twitter, writing, “Everything is gonna be ok.”

Total Bellas S6 E5 recap: Bye Bye Bella

By
W-O Staff
-

There are some sad moments in this episode, but, there are some happy ones as well.

This episode begins with Artem and Nicole trying to install a new car seat in preparation for the birth of their new baby boy. Artem seems to have the installing thing down, however, when Nicole’s sister, Brie, shows up she points that Artem has the car seat installed in the wrong direction. Apparently, car seats for newborns are supposed to be facing the rear of the vehicle, while car seats for toddlers should be forward facing. I didn’t know that, did you? I guess you learn something new every day.

It was lucky that Brie showed up when she did, otherwise, Nicole and Artem’s would have had to reinstall the car seat before they could bring baby Matteo home from the hospital. However, Brie won’t be around to offer Nicole motherly advice much longer. This is because Nicole and Artem won’t be having their baby in Arizona, as was originally planned.

Nicole’s insurance company is a California based insurance company, and therefore, won’t pay for her to give birth in Arizona. Originally, Nicole had thought that perhaps the company would pay for her birth expenses since giving birth is classified as an emergency, and, her insurance company is required to pay for emergency births which take place out of state. However, according to Nicole’s business manager, something can’t be qualified as an emergency if it is planned to months in advance. I could have told Nicole that the emergency defense wouldn’t work, but of course, nobody asked me.

So, it looks as though the couple will have to face their first days as parents with only Nicole’s mom, Kathy, as support. This also means that Kathy won’t be around for the birth of Brie and her husband Bryan’s second child who is due around the same time as Nicole’s baby.

This circumstance made Brie upset since she feels like a single parent often to her three-year-old daughter, Birdie, especially since Bryan is often on the road due to his job wrestling for the WWE. I think that Brie became slightly hormonal at one point exclaiming, “Nicole you caused this,” and storming away tears. While I think that perhaps Nicole would have been wiser simply to remain in her home in Los Angeles, accusing her of causing her sister’s distress was a bit harsh.

However, once Brie talk to her husband, she seemed to calm down slightly. But Brie’s tears weren’t the last to be shed in this episode. The sisters shed plenty more as they spent time together over the next couple days.

During their last few days of pregnant bonding Brie and Nicole did a nude photo shoot displaying their pregnant bellies in all their glory. Their bellies were not the only parts of the twins that viewers and the photographer were shown during the photo shoot.

The twins didn’t even bother to wear underwear. Don’t get me wrong, I think women’s bodies are beautiful, and that the pregnant female body is the most beautiful of all, but, is it just me or do the sisters seem a little obsessed with nudity? I mean, last week we had Nicole swimming nude in order to attract her fiancé’s attention and this week both sisters are bearing it all in a nude photo shoot.

But it’s their bodies they can do what they want. Anyway, after the photo shoot, Brie and Birdie went to Nicole and Artem’s rental house for one last spaghetti dinner. Before dinner, Birdie got to participate in one of her favorite activities, in which, Artem lifted her up into the air. I think Birdie made all viewers laugh when she exclaimed, “and now mama’s turn”. Watching Artem lift a pregnant Brie into the air was pretty funny also. Nicole made me laugh even more when she said, “I wish Bryan was here, so she’d go, and now daddy’s turn.” The thought of Artem attempting to lift Bryan into the air was just hilarious.

Before leaving, Nicole and Artem had one last surprise for Brie and Birdie. They rented an ice cream truck so that Birdie could have the experience of buying an ice cream from the ice cream man. So Birdie, Brie, and Nicole got to lick strawberry popsicles before a final tearful farewell as Nicole and Artem rode off into the sunset on their way to Los Angeles.

However, the biggest drama of all is still unfolding the two sisters have to still give birth to their babies which means we still have at least one more drama filled episode to go.

Former WWE and Impact star Tyrus to face sexual harassment lawsuit

By
Colin Vassallo

Former WWE and Impact Wrestling star George Murdoch, better known to fans as Brodus Clay in WWE and Tyrus in Impact, could be in some legal trouble after a federal judge ruled that his former FOX Nation co-host Britt McHenry can proceed with the sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit she filed against him and executive producer Jennifer Rauchet. The news was reported by the website lawandcrime.com.

The lawsuit, filed over a year ago, accused Murdoch for making sexual advances and making sexually harassing comments to her as well as for sending her inappropriate texts without her consent. Rauchet is not being sued for sexual harassment but rather for retaliating by removing McHenry from being a regular on the FOX News show Watters’ World after she complained about Murdoch.

“This is a victory for Ms. McHenry and a milestone in her pursuit of justice. We look forward to now having the opportunity to prove our claims of sexual harassment and retaliation against Fox News, Mr. Murdoch, and Ms. Rauchet in court,” her attorney Arick Fudali told Law & Crime in an e-mail.

The judge did however toss out all counts against Fox Corporation, its HR employee Monica Mekeel, and Vice President John Finley. Fox News remains a defendant in the case.

Murdoch hosts Nuff Said on FOX Nation and previously hosted Un-PC with McHenry between September 2018 and April 2019. He debuted his solo show in June of last year after the legal trouble began.

“Once the facts of the case have been presented, we are confident FOX News and Rauchet will prevail on McHenry’s remaining claims, which are equally without merit,” the network said in a statement.

That dream, it just came true. I’m a WWE Superstar.”

A beginner’s guide on betting on wrestling

By
Daniel Street
-

Wrestling competitions are fun and it becomes even more entertaining when you can earn some bucks from it. Gone are the days when you could only bet your money on sports events, because today there are scopes for betting on almost every public event, including wrestling. Although some wrestling games are scripted or predetermined, this information is not revealed to anyone, and thus, you can put your wager on it. Betting on wrestling via the traditional and online mediums is not as uncommon as you think it to be. Apart from the thousands of fans cheering for their favorite players and placing large bets on them, professional bettors are looking forward to making the most of it.

Why should you bet on wrestling matches?

A few years ago, the craze of betting was limited to sports matches, as mentioned before. However, a shift of interest in bettors can be seen nowadays, and entertainment betting is getting more popular. Entertainment betting comprises fictional and reality TV shows and also professional betting. If you want to make fast cash by professional betting, then it is advisable to stick to the new wave of online entertainment betting. There are plenty of reasons to opt for betting on wrestling, and the foremost of them is the maximum yield from the bets. It is comparatively safer and less risky than other betting types as there are a ton of restrictions placed on the bookmakers.

Is wrestling fake?

The outcome of wrestling matches can be scripted, but it cannot be called fake. You can compare it with the TV series whose outcome is known to the writers and can be predicted by some fans. Similarly, wrestling results are also known to the players and the team, but it is not revealed to the general audience. Rarely are those results leaked when the game is on, and bettors who have placed the right-sized wager for the winning player end up earning significantly. 

What are some of the most popular betting markets?

Before you visit Betfair Sportsbook and place your first bet on any upcoming wrestling matches, it is essential to acquire complete knowledge about the betting markets. So go through the following markets and then choose which seems the most convenient and profitable to you:

  • Match winner market

If you are new to betting, then ideally, you should start your journey with this betting market as it is relatively straightforward and easily understandable. Here the bookmaker website you join will set the odds beforehand for each of the players. You will have to choose the wrestler you think has the most chance of winning, and then your job is done.

  • Future champion market

As the name suggests, you would be betting for an event to be held in the future, and if you can wait a while to collect your profit, you will be able to derive high value from this market. Each wrestling match is divided into several categories in this type of betting market, each having a crown winner. The bookmakers will set different odds on the players according to the categories they belong to. Although this might be a bit tricky to understand at first, you will eventually get used to how things work in this market. 

What are some of the wrestling betting tips you should follow?

Since there is too much information out there to distract beginners out there, you should focus on these must-follow rules:

  • Always do your homework before choosing a sportsbook for placing your bets. With the skyrocketing popularity of online sports and wrestling betting, a ton of fraudulent sportsbooks have come into existence to scam you. So before investing in the bookmaker’s app, check whether it is reliable and trustworthy. It is also essential to ensure that the bookmaker you are collaborating with offers the best odds in the market to maximize your earnings.
  • Wrestling is not only about fighting hard, in fact, but there are also other metrics involved in it. So before you pick matches to put your wager, research about the best wrestlers in town who are go-getters.
  • As mentioned already, different promotional events go in every wrestling match, and, thus, the regulations of every match differ. Also, please read about the format of the match you are willing to invest in as there are variations in it as well.
  • Even if you are indulging in entertainment betting, you should not forget to manage your bankroll. No matter how lucrative the match looks like, do not put a large-sized bet out of your impulse which you cannot afford to lose.

What are some of the sports rules bettors should abide by?

Professional betting in wrestling is categorized under arts and entertainment, so no fixed set of rules is prevalent here. As you would already know, different promotional events set various rules and regulations which every bettor is expected to follow if they are willing to be a part of it. Although there is no specified set of rules that you need to stick to, your bookmaker website might inform you about the regulations before every promotional event. 

Which types of bets can you place on WWE?

According to Evelyn Balyton, the guest author of this article, you can choose your WWE bets. If you are interested to know more about her, click here.

  • First-time winner

You can place this bet if you correctly predict that a specific match winner will be a first-time winner. This type of bet is less risky and you can go ahead with it if you call yourself a newbie.

  • First, to appear

You would not be betting on the player who will win or lose, unlike in other betting matches. Instead, you will have to predict the wrestler who will enter the ring first and, if your guess is right, you win!

Wagering on wrestling is pretty easy, and you have the opportunity to earn while enjoying the entertainment played in front of you. The only tip is to play sensibly and keep your head calm while deciding the bet amounts.

Ric Flair says WWE is building physical Hall of Fame in Orlando

By
Colin Vassallo
-

Appearing on ESPN’s The Jump with Rachel Nichols, former 16-time world heavyweight champion Ric Flair said that WWE is building a physical Hall of Fame in Orlando.

Construction though has been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic and no exact location was given by The Nature Boy. There were rumors in the past that the WWE would be opening their Hall of Fame at Universal Studios City Walk but nothing ever came out of it.

During his appearance on the show, Flair said that WWE purchased the gold robe which inspired the new sneakers in his collaboration with Adidas and Damian Lillard for the Hall of Fame display.

Over the past several decades, WWE has collected tons of memorabilia that would fit any building size. Currently, they’re all housed in their warehouse.

WWE has a special relationship with the state of Florida, especially Orlando, where they have their WWE Performance Center and have for years performed at Full Sail University which is located just three miles north in Winter Park.

A location inside or part of a theme park would be the most ideal as it would get the best foot traffic considering not many individuals would just fly out to see the Hall of Fame.
