A historic moment in sports memorabilia occurred this weekend as Hulk Hogan’s 1982 Wrestling All-Stars Series A card sold for an unprecedented $132,000 at Heritage Auctions.

This sale established a new record for the most valuable wrestling card ever sold, surpassing the previous record held by The Rock’s 2022 Black Prizm 1/1 card which sold for $126,000. The record-breaking card is graded PSA 9 Mint and is one of only 17 such examples, with no PSA 10 grades in existence.

This particular card comes from the Wrestling All-Stars 1982 series A and B sets, which are considered the first standard American wrestling card set ever produced. The sets were originally available only through mail order via “Wrestling News” magazine, with an estimated maximum production of 2,000 sets.

The sale represents a significant increase in value, considering that the last PSA 9 Hogan card sold for just $4,050 on eBay in April 2020.

Experts in the field have drawn parallels between this card’s significance and other legendary sports cards, with David Peck, a prominent wrestling card collector, comparing it to “the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle of wrestling cards.”

WWE has announced that three competitors from the recent Survivor Series WarGames match have sustained significant injuries.

Tonga Loa suffered a torn biceps during the event and has undergone successful surgery. He is expected to be sidelined indefinitely.

Bronson Reed incurred a broken foot, reportedly from executing a splash off the top of the cage. Surgery is planned, and he will also be out of action indefinitely.

Jimmy Uso sustained a broken toe during the match. His injury was confirmed during the post-event press conference, and he is currently sidelined with no specified return date.

These injuries were highlighted in a segment on WWE SmackDown, which included x-rays and images of the affected areas.

As WWE NXT Deadline 2024 approaches, fans on social media are abuzz with excitement, eagerly dissecting matches, predicting winners, and sharing their anticipation for this year’s innovative lineup. The sentiment on social media regarding the event reflects a mix of excitement, anticipation, and high expectations for one of the year’s most innovative wrestling events. Fans are especially thrilled about the return of the Iron Survivor Challenges, which promise unique match dynamics and high-stakes competition.

Here’s what wrestling fans are talking about on social media about the top matches:

Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge

Wes Lee stands out as a fan favorite, with many speculating his current momentum could position him as a main event heel. Strategic discussions around this match format dominate the conversation, with names like Je’Von Evans and Nathan Frazer highlighted for their potential to deliver surprising moments.

Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge

Stephanie Vaquer has garnered attention as the front-runner, with fans praising her standout performances in recent months. Meanwhile, Giulia’s debut in this format adds intrigue, given her established reputation outside WWE. This match is widely expected to deliver one of the year’s top performances.

There’s a strong consensus that Trick Williams will retain his title. Many fans believe it’s too soon for Holland to take the championship, given Williams’ recent reclaiming of the belt from Ethan Page. Discussions also center on the storyline implications, with Williams positioned as a central figure in NXT’s future.

NXT Underground Match – Lola Vice vs. Jaida Parker

The personal feud between Lola Vice and Jaida Parker has captured attention, particularly within the intense setting of an NXT Underground match. While Vice is favored due to her MMA background, many see this as a breakout opportunity for Parker, whose character development has been a focal point this year.

NXT Tag Team Championship

The dynamic pairing of Axiom & Nathan Frazer faces speculation about potential internal discord, which some fans believe could cost them the titles against No Quarter Catch Crew. The debate has added a layer of unpredictability to this matchup.

Other Highlights:

• The return of the Iron Survivor Challenge is celebrated for testing endurance, strategy, and versatility, setting it apart as a fan-favorite format.

WWE has officially announced the opening of its transfer window, signaling significant roster changes across its flagship brands: RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. The news was revealed during Friday night’s episode of SmackDown, where commentator Michael Cole stated that the General Managers from all three brands are collaborating to orchestrate strategic moves.

This move comes as WWE gears up for its next big milestone—the highly anticipated debut of RAW on Netflix. The collaboration between the GMs—Adam Pearce (RAW), Nick Aldis (SmackDown), and Shawn Michaels (NXT)—marks a unified effort to realign WWE’s talent pool to enhance storytelling and match quality across the board.

What the Transfer Window Means for WWE

The transfer window concept, akin to drafts and trades in professional sports, offers WWE the flexibility to reshuffle its rosters and elevate new talent into prominent roles.

This initiative ensures fresh matchups, reinvigorated storylines, and a chance for underutilized talent to shine. It also allows the creative teams of each brand to adapt their shows to upcoming challenges, including major events and shifts in audience demographics.

Michael Cole emphasized that the moves being discussed are “major” and could significantly impact WWE’s landscape heading into WrestleMania season.

Fans are already speculating about potential trades on social media, including the movement of top-tier superstars and the promotion of standout performers from NXT to the main roster.

WWE has announced the return of Jesse “The Body” Ventura to the commentary table for Saturday Night’s Main Event, set to air live on December 14, 2024, at 8/7c on NBC.

Ventura, a WWE Hall of Famer known for his sharp wit and charismatic commentary, was a staple of the show during its 1980s run. His return marks his first appearance on WWE programming in over a decade.

Triple H addressed Ventura’s WWE homecoming, welcoming back and touting his credentials on the beloved series. He wrote on X, “Nobody reps Saturday Night’s Main Event like ‘The Governor.’ Welcome home, Jesse.”

Ventura hyped his upcoming WWE return on social media, writing, “That’s right the Governing Body returns to Saturday Night’s Main Event! So excited to get back into the broadcast booth. A very big thank you to TripleH, WWE and my son Tyrel for helping make my return a reality.”

Return of The Body

Ventura’s comeback follows his signing of a WWE Legends deal earlier this year, a move months in the making. He was previously seen backstage at Monday Night Raw, fueling speculation about his involvement in upcoming events.

For longtime fans, Ventura’s return is a highlight, promising a mix of his signature wit and historic storytelling. WWE is pulling out all the stops to make this an unforgettable tribute to one of wrestling’s most iconic shows.

The December 14 special is expected to celebrate the original Saturday Night’s Main Event era, with rumors of appearances by other WWE legends like Hulk Hogan and Wendy Richter adding to the nostalgia.

This aligns with changes made to other recent Premium Live Events, such as WWE Survivor Series 2024: WarGames and WWE Bad Blood 2024, which also shifted from the traditional 8 PM EST slot.

WWE’s 2025 Royal Rumble emanates from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. John Cena is the first WWE star to declare entry into the men’s 30-personal battle royal. Several other notable names have teased involvement, including WWE Raw broadcaster and Indiana native, Pat McAfee.

WWE SmackDown is one of professional wrestling’s most iconic weekly television shows, airing live every Friday night on the USA Network.

As the WWE embarks on its 2025 first-quarter schedule, the show will travel extensively across North America before launching a European tour in March. From major arenas like Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center to international venues like Barcelona’s Olimpic Arena, SmackDown continues its tradition of bringing high-stakes wrestling entertainment to fans worldwide.

We have a similar schedule for upcoming WWE Raw events, as well.

Here is a detailed WWE SmackDown live schedule through April 4, 2025:

January 2025

• Jan 3: Phoenix, AZ – Footprint Center
• Jan 10: Portland, OR – Moda Center
• Jan 17: San Diego, CA – Pechanga Arena

Starting in January 2025, WWE’s flagship program, Monday Night Raw, will transition to Netflix as part of a landmark $5 billion agreement. This move signifies Raw’s departure from traditional linear television for the first time in over three decades.

A significant change accompanying this transition is that Raw will broadcast live regardless of its taping location, including international venues. Traditionally, episodes filmed overseas were pre-recorded and aired later in their usual time slots. With the new arrangement, international broadcasts will be live, allowing fans worldwide to view episodes in real-time and access them on-demand immediately after airing. (H/T – PWInsider)

This change is set to take effect during WWE’s international tour in March 2025, which includes multiple Raw tapings in the United Kingdom. Fans can anticipate live broadcasts of these UK-based episodes, marking a significant shift in WWE’s programming approach.

International WWE Raw Tapings Currently Scheduled

• March 17, 2025: Brussels, Belgium – Forest National
• March 24, 2025: Glasgow, Scotland – OVO Hydro
• March 31, 2025: London, England – O2 Arena

For reference, an 8pm showtime in Brussels, Belgium would be 2pm in Eastern time zone.

WWE RAW Schedule: Upcoming Dates and Venues

WWE President Nick Khan has assured that despite the platform change, Raw will remain family and sponsor-friendly on Netflix, despite reports they’re reverting to ‘TV-MA.’

The inaugural live episode of WWE Raw op Netflix is scheduled for January 6, 2025, at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. This premiere will feature top WWE stars, including John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Bianca Belair, along with special surprise guests.

This strategic partnership between WWE and Netflix aims to enhance the viewing experience by providing immediate access to live content, regardless of geographic location, thereby unifying the global WWE audience.

Eric Bischoff was granted total creative control for the MLW One-Shot event on December 5, 2024, at the Melrose Ballroom in NYC. This event marked his first time promoting a wrestling show in New York City, a place considered “enemy territory” during the Monday Night Wars when he was with WCW.

Bischoff’s influence was seen in several aspects of the show. One notable feature was the introduction of the “83 Weeks Girls,” a dance squad reminiscent of WCW’s Nitro Girls, bringing a unique flair to the event.

A “Fan’s Choice Match” was added to the card, where fans could vote on the match stipulation for Alex Kane vs. Bobby Fish. This interactive element allowed fans to engage directly with the event’s booking decisions.

Matches and Stipulations:

Bischoff incorporated various match types, including a “Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal” for a match involving Matthew Justice and The Andersons.

Key matches included Matt Riddle vs. Donovan Dijak, Místico vs. Trevor Lee for the World Middleweight Championship, and several other high-profile bouts.

In various interviews, Bischoff has expressed his intent to have fun with the creative control, focusing on enhancing storytelling, character development, and presentation rather than overhauling MLW’s established storylines. He aimed to put a new spin on wrestling staples and engage the audience differently.

Bischoff’s role at MLW One-Shot was described as a one-off, but he has left the door open for potential future collaborations if the experience is mutually enjoyable. He emphasized enjoying the process and collaboration rather than focusing on long-term involvement.
