  • Will Samoa Joe Still Be Allowed To Work ROH TV?, More On ROH’s Airings

    – Ring Of Honor TV will not only air as the lead-in to TNA Impact Wrestling each Wednesday night on Destination America, but a replay will also air immediately following Impact.

    The episodes will premiere on Saturdays on Sinclair affiliates prior to the Wednesday broadcast/replay on Destination America.

    – With ROH now airing on cable television, there’s already speculation that WWE will nix his appearances in the promotion. The same rule would likely apply to Rhyno and other talents if they handle the Joe situation that way. Joe is currently booked to appear on the 6/20 edition of ROH TV, teaming with AJ Styles to take on Kazarian and Daniels, however that could change due to ROH’s new deal with Destination America.

  • Seth Rollins Confirms “Curb Stomp” Is No More (Video), Samoa Joe Hypes Tonight’s NXT

  • NXT’s Four Horsewomen Talk About How They’re Changing Women’s Wrestling

    NXT Women’s Champion Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Bayley and Becky Lynch spoke to WWE.com this week about their efforts to change the face of women’s wrestling.

    Dubbed the “Four Horsewomen of NXT,” each of them talked about what they’re doing to ensure WWE has no choice but to #GiveDivasAChance.

    Charlotte said it’s hard to be the “hardest worker in the room” in the NXT Women’s division, because everybody is the hardest worker in the room. She raved about Triple H’s decision to hire (the recently promoted) Sara Del Rey and said she gets goosebumps thinking about how lucky she is to have so many talented women to work with.

    Bayley said Triple H has been incredibly supportive of them, showing a lot of interest in each individual. Triple H has solidified their mission to revolutionize women’s wrestling.

    Becky Lynch said she stopped watching wrestling many years ago because it didn’t seem like women had a chance to be featured in a meaningful way. She said she walked around the WWE Performance Center and did not see any women’s wrestlers featured on the WWE PPV poster banners there. She knows that in five years, when she walks around the performance center, she’s going to see Bayley, Sasha and Charlotte on those banners. “Hopefully I’ll see myself, too, but I know I’m going to see them, and it’s not just because they’re good for girls. They’re just good. Just really good, and we’re just changing.”

    Sasha Banks said that when she was working the indies, people wouldn’t care about women’s matches. Now, people come up to her and tell her she had the best match on the show. Male wrestlers come up to her and admit they are going to have a hard time following her match, which is an amazing feeling.

    – ROH issued the following press release today regarding the release of their new action figure line, which includes WWE Superstar and current NXT Champion Kevin Owens.

    (Baltimore, MD – May 26th, 2015) – Get ready for the best wrestling figures on the planet! Ring of Honor Wrestling (ROH) and Figures Toy Company are proud to announce the official lineup for the debut series of ROH Wrestling action figures! Series 1 will feature four of the top names in Ring of Honor history, and this series marks the first time that any of them have been released in action figure form!

    From “DemBoys” to a ruler of a Kingdom, ROH and Figures Toy Company will be releasing four major names to launch the line:

    Jay Briscoe: The current Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Champion, Jay Briscoe is an ROH Original in every sense, including being the very first ROH match ever. With his roughneck reputation and the in ring skills to back it up, Briscoe is one of ROH’s most recognizable stars.

    Mark Briscoe: Brother of Jay and another ROH Original. Together, The Briscoes wreaked havoc on the ROH tag division, and have held the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championship an unprecedented 8 times! Now Mark and Jay Briscoe team up to make history once again as a part of the very first Ring of Honor action figure series.

    Adam Cole: The former Ring of Honor World Champion, and the leader of The Kingdom. Cole’s brash attitude has not endeared him to the ROH fanbase, and now he has something new to brag about, as he’ll surely be flaunting his Ring of Honor action figure for all it’s worth.

    Kevin Steen: The “Throwback” star in Series 1, Kevin Steen has a long and storied history in Ring of Honor. From his tag team with El Generico to wreaking havoc as the Ring of Honor World Champion, Steen has made a name for himself not only in ROH but throughout the wrestling world. He may not be raising hell in ROH any longer, but he is still a force on the rise, and collectors everywhere will be clamoring for their very first Kevin Steen figure.

    The Ring of Honor action figures will be 6 inch tall figures with multiple points of articulation, and will be compatible with other wrestling figures on the market. Each figure will come packaged with assorted accessories such as realistic cloth clothing, figure sized title belts, and weapons. Each figure will be released in a resealable clamshell package. Figures Toy Company will be releasing pre-order information for Ring of Honor Series 1 action figures in the near future, so make sure to follow them on social media for updates on upcoming Ring of Honor products!

  • NXT Takeover: Unstoppable Results – May 20, 2015

    NXT Takeover: Unstoppable Opener:

    The show kicks off with Hideo Itami being attacked and injured in the parking lot. They announced on the show that he suffered a torn rotator cuff.

    #1 Contenders Match
    – Tyler Breeze vs. Finn Balor

    Breeze came out first, followed by Balor, who did his usual PPV entrance, which garnered “Holy Sh*t” and “That Was Awesome” chants before the match even began. In the end, Balor scored the pin to become the new number one contender for the NXT Championship.

    Winner and NEW #1 Contender To NXT Championship: Finn Balor

    Emma & Dana Brooke vs. Charlotte & Bayley

    It’s time for Divas tag-team action. They kept this one short, with the ending seeing Charlotte using the Natural Selection on Emma while Emma hit Bayley with a “Belly To Bayley” suplex. Emma, by the way, has changed her look a little bit, wearing a new outfit and sporting a new hair style. Stephanie McMahon was shown in attendance before this match.

    Winners: Charlotte & Bayley

    Rhyno vs. Baron Corbin

    Uhaa Nation is shown in the crowd, leading to a big “Uhaa” chant. Next up is Rhyno vs. Baron Corbin. In the end, Corbin picked up the “W” when Rhyno went for a Gore but Corbin clotheslined him and hit him with the End Of Days for the 1-2-3.

    Winner: Baron Corbin

    Backstage: Kevin Owens

    Backstage, we get a Kevin Owens promo. Owens talks about defending his NXT title and dropping John Cena on Monday’s RAW, noting that he sent a message that his title is the real prize by stepping on Cena’s U.S. title. The fans chant “NXT.” He warns Sami Zayn not to show up tonight or it will be the last time anyone sees Zayn.

    NXT Tag-Team Championship
    – Blake & Murphy vs. Enzo Amore & Colin Cassidy

    This was kept pretty short for a title match. The finish saw Enzo and Cassidy set up their Rocket Launcher finisher when Alexa Bliss came out and turned heel, attacking Carmella. This distracted Colin, as he went out of the ring and ate a super kick from Murphy. Bliss pulled Enzo off the top, crotching himself, leading to Blake scoring the pin. Afterwards, Blake, Murphy and Bliss celebrated together.

    Winners: Blake & Murphy

    NXT Women’s Championship
    – Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch

    Up next is the NXT Women’s title match. This was an excellent match. Banks ended up scoring the win after hitting Lynch with the Divorce Court off of the top rope and applying the Bank Statement cross-face for the tap out victory.

    NXT Championship
    – Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn

    These two had an excellent match. The story at the end was that Owens hit his power bomb on Zayn on the apron, which led to the announcers selling it like Zayn’s shoulder went out and the match pretty much ended at that point. Owens continued to attack Zayn and refusing to stop until Samoa Joe came out. Joe and Owens go face-to-face. The crowd went nuts, but ultimately, Owens backed down and walked away.

    Winner: Kevin Owens

  • Samoa Joe Debuts At NXT Takeover: Unstoppable

    Samoa Joe made his NXT debut at the conclusion of Wednesday night’s NXT Takeover: Unstoppable live WWE Network special.

As Owens was getting ready to finish Zayn off with a chair, music began playing and out walked Samoa Joe. He was wearing a t-shirt that said “Samoa Joe” and the announcers referred to him as Samoa Joe, so he thankfully won’t be getting a new NXT name-generator ring name.

    The crowd went apesh*t as Samoa Joe and NXT Champion Kevin Owens went face to face in what was truly a mark out moment. Owens eventually backed down, saying “not now” to a feud that could be the best thing WWE produces this year.

    It’s worth noting that Triple H was asked about Joe signing with WWE earlier this week. He put Joe over as a tremendous performer, he said that he wasn’t sure if they would do business together or not.

  • Daniel Bryan’s Future Not Looking Good, Hideo Itami Injury Update

    While specifics aren’t quite clear just yet, the word going around is that things are looking negative regarding Bryan’s future as an active pro wrestler. It’s been said that he is expected to be out a long time and it’s possible he may never be able to return, however as of May 18th there has been no definitive medical update on him.

    Triple H acknowledged that Hideo Itami was injured during his conference call to promote the NXT Takeover: Unstoppable live WWE Network special, noting that he would be on the show in some capacity, but not actually wrestling.

    It’s said that Itami’s injury was a fluke situation and not a case of wear-and-tear, which is said to be an issue troubling WWE these days among many of the wrestlers.

  • Jim Ross Blog: NXT Takeover Thoughts, Samoa Joe/WWE, Impact Changing Nights

    WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross recently updated his official blog with some of his latest thoughts. Below are some highlights.

    On NXT Takeover: Unstoppable: “I will catch the WWE NXT Takeover show on the WWE Network late tonight but I fully expect it to be a stellar show. Not sure of the heath of Sami Zayn as he’s set to take on Kevin Owens but if both are 100% this could be the best match in WWE this year on any event. Loved Owens impactful debut on RAW this week and he’s ready to continue to get himself noticed with a great performance tonight. I’m a big fan of both talents and only hope that they have long term creative plans in place which is imperative once the newness of their TV personas wear off and it will.”

    On Samoa Joe: “If WWE eventually signs Samoa Joe, a no brainer to me, and he’s added to the talents that are already in NXT turning heads, this brand takes another giant step forward. In a perfect world and putting my old creative hat back on, tonight would be a wonderful opportunity to debut Joe on live tV on the WWE Network. That may not be in the cards just yet but one can fantasy book all one wants which is one way that I can fulfill my own personal needs to stay involved in the business that I love in addition to our Ross Report Podcasts and our RINGSIDE w/ Jim Ross Shows. Once the biz is in one’s blood, it’s hard to simply walk away and stop thinking about it. I don’t see that ever happening to me, for better or for worse.”

    On Impact Wrestling changing nights: “Does TNA’s mov to Wednesday nights on the hard to find Destination America spell the death knell for the battling brand? Many industry insiders think so but I certainly hope not. Destination America did TNA no favors by making this move even though airing on Wednesday night is a better night of the week than Fridays. Good luck to my many friends at Impact Wrestling as 2015 is a critical year for their survival.”
