Rhino Announces End Of TNA Run

TNA Hall of Famer Rhino has announced that his 5-year run with the company will be coming to an end this week.

The wrestling veteran made the announcement on Facebook, revealing that his match with Ryan Nemeth during the December 14 Impact TV tapings from Atlanta, GA will be his last match for the promotion:

“Tomorrow is my last day with TNA Wrestling. I am wrestling Ryan Nemeth. It will most likely be the last time EVER I will wrestle in a TNA ring. If you can make it to Center Stage in Atlanta, come and be part of this 5-year chapter of my life and our journey. Thank you to all of the amazing wrestling fans for your support. I’m not done wrestling but TNA and I have parted ways. ?”

Rhino’s second run with TNA started with a surprise appearance at Slammiversary XVII in 2019, while he was still under WWE contract. He would go on to sign a contract with the company after getting his release from the Endeavor-owned promotion.

During his second run, the hardcore veteran has not won any singles titles in the company. Though he has held the tag titles multiple times, having reigns with Heath Slater and Joe Doering.

The former ECW star was inducted into the 2024 TNA Hall of Fame at Bound For Glory alongside TNA co-founder Bob Ryder in October this year.

Rhino & TNA Co-Founder Bob Ryder To Be Inducted Into Hall of Fame

Since 2012, TNA Wrestling has welcomed some of its premier stars into its Hall of Fame with Sting, Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett, and Abyss all receiving the honor. This year, the ‘Man-Beast’ Rhino will receive his spot in the TNA Hall of Fame alongside Bob Ryder.

Rhino

Rhino joined TNA Wrestling in July 2005, just over a month after exiting WWE following that year’s One Night Stand pay-per-view. At that year’s Bound for Glory, Rhino would reach the top of the mountain, dethroning Jeff Jarrett as NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Rhino is also a two-time TNA World Tag Team Champion and won the 2008 Turkey Bowl contest.

Outside TNA, Rhino is known for being the final ECW Champion of the original promotion, where he also held the World TV Championship twice. In WWE, Rhino held the Hardcore title three times, the WCW U.S. Championship once, and was one-half of the inaugural WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions.

Bob Ryder

Concerned over WWE’s monopoly of wrestling in the U.S. following the demise of WCW and ECW, Ryder co-founded TNA Wrestling in 2002 alongside Jeff and Jerry Jarrett. Ryder was TNA’s first employee and became the company’s longest-tenured employee in history as he remained with TNA until his passing in 2020. During his tenure, Ryder held several roles with the company, including working as the Director of Travel Operations.

Before co-founding TNA, Ryder proved himself for years as an innovator in the wrestling media. At WrestleMania 11, Ryder became the person to conduct an online interview for the WWF when he fired questions as opponents Shawn Michaels and Diesel. In a statement after his passing, TNA referred to him as “the heart and soul of the promotion.” Eric Young, a friend of Ryder’s will induct and receive the honor on his behalf.

Rhino and Ryder will be inducted as part of the Countdown to Bound for Glory on October 26, from Wayne State University Fieldhouse in Detroit, MI (Rhino’s hometown.) Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest from Bound for Glory including live results and breaking news.

Rhino Hopes He Can Get Five More Years In the Ring Full-Time

Rhino, the former WWE star currently performing on Impact Wrestling has plans to wrestle for at least another 5 years before finally hanging up his boots and transitioning to a behind-the-scenes role as a producer.

Rhino is enjoying his time in Impact Wrestling after having a long-lasting career in the ring. He is celebrating 27 years in pro wrestling and discussed his longevity in the industry while appearing on the podcast The Angle. He also discussed how long he expects to see himself competing full-time in the ring and what his plans are afterwards.

Rhino said he isn’t planning to return anytime soon and he has a lot of time left in the business. When asked who he would like to face before his eventual retirement, Rhino named Kevin Owens.

Speaking on the podcast, Rhino said, “I would really like to… I don’t know why Kevin Owens’ name just popped in my head. Probably because I am here in Philly, and I am talking to you from Philly.

“I’m at that point where I’m starting to, you know, [be] less in the ring and more behind the scenes in phase and that’s one of the beauties I love about Impact. One of the many beauties is that I can start producing. So, and then hopefully I can get, God willing, five more years out of in the ring full time. I would definitely like to do one of my last shows at the arena. Hopefully, I have the ability to be the one to choose whether to walk away,” Rhino said.

Rhino has had a long career in wrestling, starting from ECW. He won the ECW World Heavyweight Championship and the ECW Television Championship, being the last champion to hold both titles. He would then go on to work for the WWE and was involved in The Invasion storyline. He stayed with the company until 2005 and then worked with TNA and won the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

Rhino would return to WWE in 2015 and worked in NXT as a veteran. He would then be promoted to the main roster and on his time in SmackDown, he would become the inaugural SmackDown Tag Team Champion with Heath Slater. He left WWE again in 2019 and has been working in Impact Wrestling since then.

Rhino Signs Contract Extension With Impact Wrestling (Report)

It looks like Rhino is staying in Impact Wrestling.

PWInsider is reporting that Rhino has re-signed with the promotion. The terms of the new deal have not been revealed. Rhino’s previous deal with Impact Wrestling began back in 2019 after he made the decision to leave WWE.

During an interview with Sporting News back in 2019, Rhino explained why he chose Impact as his landing spot.

“It’s a company on the right path for almost two years,” Rhino said when asked what signing with Impact meant to him. “They have been moving in a direction where wrestling fans want a company to go in terms of letting the talent be the talent, having bookers booking the matches on the card as opposed to writers.

“I think a lot of fans are drawn to a promotion like that. Not speaking against other promotions, but other promotions are doing it differently because they’re very successful. But I think there’s a niche where you have to let talent be talent and have enough talent where it’s not drowned out too much and where you don’t have enough TV time and run enough shows to use them. It’s up to the talent, whether to sink or swim. And Impact because guys have more control when their contracts are up.”

Rhino has had success with Impact. Back when the promotion was called TNA Wrestling, he captured the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. He also won tag team gold in the company alongside members of Violent By Design.

Title Change In Tonight’s Impact Wrestling Main Event

Tonight’s episode of Impact Wrestling saw a title change as Rhino and Joe Doering from Violent By Design defeated FinJuice to become the new Impact Wrestling tag team champions.

The main event of this week’s episode of the weekly show saw the team of Juice Robinson & David Finlay successfully defending their title against the duo of Ace Austin and Madman Fulton.

However, after the bout, VBD leader Eric Young announced that they were going to cash in Rhino’s Call Your Shot Trophy, leading to the champions defending their titles the second time in the night.

The ending to this match saw Doering hitting Robinson with a massive lariat while Rhino crushed Finlay with a Gore. Doering then picked up a pin fall victory for his team, making them the new champions.

FinJuice had won the tag team titles in March earlier this year. They had defeated Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson, The Good Brothers at the Sacrifice PPV.

Rhino had won the Call Your Shot Trophy in a 20-wrestler intergender gauntlet match at last year’s Bound For Glory event in October. He had last eliminated Sami Callihan to win the match.

This wasn’t the only big news coming out of the show and the company also announced the arrival of a former IWGP heavyweight champion for next week. You can check out their announcement here.

Rhino Talks About His Last WWE Run, Keeping His Name

Former WWE Superstar Rhino was a recent guest on Chris Jericho’s podcast, Talk Is Jericho. During the course of their conversation, Rhino addressed his final run with WWE and how he managed to keep his wrestling name upon leaving the promotion. 

“My last run in WWE was for three years, a three-year contract, and I’m thinking, ‘Okay, well wh wasn’t it more successful?’ When I was going in, I didn’t go in with enough steam. So anyways I’m like, ‘Well, okay, what was wrong, what did I do wrong?’ And I think what it was is I was working so hard on the campaign, not just on knocking on doors, you have to file with the campaign finance committee and all that stuff, so there’s a lot of detailed work trying t get your message there and all that stuff, and then getting ready for one opponent and the next round.”

He reflected on the mistakes of his final run with WWE before noting that he still enjoyed it as he got to work with Heath Slater. Rhino stated that despite this, he wished he could have had a more successful experience. For him, that doesn’t necessarily translate to being on TV more as he mentioned coaching others and working more behind the scenes.  

Keeping The Rhino Name

Turning his attention to how he managed to keep the ring name ‘Rhino,’ the former Superstar recalled the different names WWE once tried to pitch him, including “Mary.”

“They were kicking around different ideas, Juggernaut was one. The worst one Edge said was Mary and he goes, ‘Yeah, he kept the best one and the worst one.’ They didn’t have me sign R-h-y-n-o over to them but when they re-signed me, I think it was 2002, they re-signed me a year early, and they had in there signing over r-h-i-n-o and r-h-y-n-o. And I said I’ll sign over r-h-y-n-o because you guys did the homework and all that stuff but I’m not signing over the one with an ‘i’ and they go, ‘Okay, no problem.'”

9 Takeaways From Impact Wrestling 8/30

Impact Wrestling was back in Mexico City this week for the first episode from the most recent tapings. The timing couldn’t be better as the promotion announced yesterday that they will now be co-promoting AAA’s upcoming event at the Hulu Theatre inside Madison Square Garden.

Here are 9 takeaways from Impact Wrestling 8/30:

Michael Elgin Beats Rhino In Falls Count Anywhere Match

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGdayP2ylYA

After a double countout ended their last match, Elgin and Rhino were scheduled for a Falls Count Anywhere match in this week’s main event. After brawling all around the arena, Rhino missed a Gore and crashed through a table, allowing Elgin to hit a sit-down power-bomb and pick up the win.

Tenille Dashwood Wants Taya Valkyrie’s Knockouts Title

Taya Valkyrie defeated AAA’s Big Mami to retain her Impact Knockouts title this week but a new contender emerged shortly after. As Taya chases the longest reigning Knockouts champion record, Dashwood is wasting no time letting Impact know she’s going right for the title. She took down Taya but John E Bravo made the save, allowing Taya to escape. Bravo took a dropkick to the face for his troubles, however.

Valkyrie really is pretty close to breaking the longest single-reign in Knockouts title history. She is scheduled to tie the actual record on October 12th. In storyline, however, the record is 239 days.

  • Taryn Terrell 279 days – 2014-15
  • Rosemary 266 days – 2016-17
  • Taya Valkyrie 237+ (current)
  • Gail Kim – 232 days – 2015-16

Moose Calls Ken Shamrock An “Attention W**re”

Moose and Ken Shamrock are building toward a likely clash at the promotion’s tapings in Las Vegas next month. Shamrock is promoting his new bare-knuckled MMA promotion Valor BK. This week Moose cut a promo in the back saying Shamrock is only seeking attention.

Fallah Bah then cut in and challenged Moose to another match between the two for next week.

Impromptu Trios Match In Mexico City

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj_O8u4a7Y8

A tag team match ended in a disqualification this week after Kiera Hogan and Madison Rayne teamed up to beat up Jordynne Grace on the outside. Impact officials then made a trios match official between Jordynne Grace, Rosemary, and Chik Tormenta against Vanilla, Kiera Hogan, and Madison Rayne.

Rayne and Hogan, who only get along when they have someone else to team up against, left Vanilla by herself in the ring, allowing Rosemary to pick up the win for her team.

Willie Mack & Rich Swann Moving Up The Tag Rankings

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_3Ye3fy8B0

Willie Mack and Rich Swann teamed up this week to defeat Dez and Wentz from the Rascalz. Mack and Swann have teamed up frequently since Mack signed with Impact but it looks like they could be making a full-time move to the tag division now that Swann is no longer X-Division champion. A win over the Rascalz, who challenged for the tag belts multiple times this summer, is a big win for Mack and Swann.

LAX Put Their Impact Careers On The Line

The North invaded LAX’s clubhouse this week, stating that it should belong to them. An enraged Ortiz then put LAX’s Impact Wrestling careers on the line in a title match against Josh Alexander and Ethan Page. That match will take place next week.

Golden Magic Picks Up The Win

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eT4gqjO5ag

Impact Wrestling kicked off with a high-energy 4-way match last night. Golden Magic picked up the win with a 450 splash on Trey but at the same time TJP had Taurus locked in a submission. He would argue that Taurus was about to tap after the match and then stared down Golden Magic. So we could see TJP and Golden Magic in a one-on-one match sometime before Impact leaves Mexico.

Ace Austin Chases Muggers Into the Ocean

Ace Austin was shown on the beach this week with Alisha Edwards. He was about to admit to Alisha his feelings for her when a pair of muggers attempted to steal Alisha’s bag. The brazen muggers were not fazed by the presence of a camera on the beach. Austin chased one of the muggers into the ocean and then proceeded to walk back to the beach in slow-motion.

Alisha thanked Austin but then said she had to go. Shortly after, it was revealed that Reno Scum were the muggers and Austin had hired them to take Alisha’s bag.

Next Week on Impact Wrestling

Several big matches were booked for next week’s episode:

  • Moose vs Fallah Bah
  • Su Yung vs Havok
  • Madman Fulton vs Rob Van Dam
  • Update on Brian Cage’s World Title reign
  • Impact Tag Team Championships: The North (c) vs LAX (LAX have put their Impact careers on the line.)

10 Takeaways From Impact Wrestling 8/23

Impact Wrestling this week took place from California for Cali Combat as it was filmed during the promotion’s recent 3-day tour of the state. The promotion will head to Mexico City next week. This week’s episode was headlined by a No DQ match between Tommy Dreamer and Sami Callihan.

Here are 10 takeaways from Impact Wrestling 8/23:

Ken Shamrock Is Returning To Impact Wrestling/Feuding With Moose

Ken Shamrock is returning to Impact Wrestling from September 5-6 in Las Vegas. His return was mentioned frequently by Melissa Santos during commercial breaks on Twitch. It looks as though Shamrock, who is promoting his new bare-knuckled MMA promotion, will be moving into a rivalry with Moose.

Sami Callihan Beats Tommy Dreamer, Ends Show Standing Tall Over Tessa Blanchard

Callihan is owed a world title match as a result of his victory over Tessa Blanchard at Unbreakable. He got the win over Tommy Dreamer in this week’s main event after delivering a piledriver on top of a wood board. Callihan looked to continue the beat-down of Dreamer after the match but Tessa Blanchard made the save. Jake Crist then ran from the back and hit Blanchard from behind, allowing Sami to hit Tessa with a piledriver and end the show standing tall.

Rhino and Michael Elgin Brawl To A Double Count-Out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThRyilzvFKM

Rhino and Michael Elgin’s rivalry has been building since Slammiversary. This week, the two rivals were too distracted with brawling on the outside to notice the referee’s count. They were both counted-out as a result.

Security was needed to separate the two big men but the brawl would continue in the back as well. Later in the night, it was announced the two will face each other again next week in Mexico. To prevent another count-out, however, it will be a Falls Count Anywhere match.

Taya Valkyrie – Longest Running Knockouts Champion?

Taya Valkyrie stood at a podium and delivered a somewhat statistically-challenged promo this week. Valkyrie is saying that she will soon pass the record for longest single-reign of the Knockouts title at 238 days. It’s not entirely clear where the 238-days number is coming from but she’s not far from breaking the actual record.

Here are the longest single reigns of the Knockouts title according to the wrestling-statistics website, Cagematch.net.

  • Taryn Terrell 279 days – 2014-15
  • Rosemary 266 days – 2016-17
  • Gail Kim – 232 days – 2015-16
  • Taya Valkyrie 230+ (current)

Taya reacted on Twitter to a fan mentioning Wikipedia also has the longest Knockouts title reign at 279 days:

Regardless, Taya promised to defend her title in Mexico City next week against someone new. In storyline, if she wins, she’ll pass the record for longest reiginging Knockouts champion.

Tenille Dashwood Says Taya Valkyrie Should Get Ready For Her

A short backstage promo featuring Tenille Dashwood was shown this week. Dashwood said she doesn’t plan on starting at the bottom of the Knockouts division and will be gunning right for Taya Valkyrie.

Jake Crist Pulls Tights, Retains Title Against Rich Swann

The X-Division champion Jake Crist defeated the former champion to retain his title this week. The OVE member pulled off the victory only after grabbing ahold of Swann’s trunks, however.

The North Defend Tag Titles Against Reno Scum

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K41NOsvqlLA

Josh Alexander and Ethan Page put out a challenge to any team from the west coast to meet them this week. Reno Scum answered the call but it would be the champions who would pull out the victory in the end. The North don’t plan on losing the tag belts anytime soon.

Havok Destroys Alisha & Eddie Edwards

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNhAkOXtqYE

Havok defeated Alisha Edwards in single’s competition this week. Alisha’s loss brought out Ace Austin, who has been making advances toward Eddie’s wife, to comfort her. Eddie came out to confront Ace but ran into Havok, who gave him a chokeslam for his trouble. This allowed Austin to leave with Alisha.

Su Yung Talks In Unknown Language Again

Su Yung cut another promo after Havok’s match last night. Once again, the promo was in no known language. It’s possible Yung’s promos are being played backwards. A devoted fan could probably even decipher them.

Willie Mack Defeated Trey

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnV6C9uTY-8

Trey from The Rascalz pulled out all the stops this week trying to defeat Willie Mack. In the end, a dive off the top rope was countered into a stunner and Mac picked up the victory, however.

Quick Results:

  1. Rhino vs Michael Elgin – double-count out
  2. Impact Tag Team Championships: the North (c) defeated Reno Scum
  3. Havok defeated Alisha Edwards
  4. X-Division Championship: Jake Crist (c) defeated Rich Swann
  5. Willie Mack defeated Trey
  6. No Disqualification Match: Sami Callihan defeated Tommy Dreamer

Rhino On Why He Left WWE and Signed With Impact Wrestling

Rhino officially returned to Impact Wrestling at the promotion’s latest set of tapings in Windsor, ON, Canada after possibly having appeared at Slammiversary under a mask. This is his 3rd stint with the promotion, though much is different since the last time he was there. He spoke to the Sporting News recently about why he decided to sign with Impact.

“It’s a company on the right path for almost two years,” Rhino said when asked what signing with Impact meant to him. “They have been moving in a direction where wrestling fans want a company to go in terms of letting the talent be the talent, having bookers booking the matches on the card opposed to writers.”

The 43-year-old won the NWA World Heavyweight Championship as a member of the TNA roster in 2005.

“I think a lot of fans are drawn to a promotion like that. Not speaking against other promotions, but you other promotions doing it differently because they’re very successful. But I think there’s nitch where you have to let talent be talent and have enough talent where it’s not drowned out too much and where you don’t have enough TV time and run enough shows to use them. It’s up to the talent, whether to sink or swim. And Impact because guys have more control when their contracts are up.”

Rhino On Dixie Carter’s Impact Wrestling

He was also asked about his previous runs with the company including working under Dixie Carter.

“I had a lot of fun. I got a chance to work with guys like AJ Styles, Abyss, Sting, James Storm, even to Rob Van Dam, who was one of my last feuds there. It was a lot of fun. Look at Van Dam now. He’s still so talented.”

Was That Rhino At Slammiversary?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL6kd1xA09Y

When asked if that was him at Slammiversary giving Michael Elgin a Gore, Rhino wouldn’t answer directly.

“I cannot confirm or deny. But I will go on the record of saying I was still under contract no matter who I worked for. Whether it’s my word or a contract, I will do it justice. But with that being said, Rob Van Dam was also under contract when he appeared on Monday Night Raw for the Reunion show,” Rhino said.

“So, does Impact and WWE have some sort of backdoor understanding type of agreement? Or was that not me? Or was that me? Did WWE allow me or give my blessings? Because at the end of the day, what are they going to do? Fire me? But at the end of the day, doing business is one of the essential things in wrestling. I try to stress that to younger talent. It’s always beneficial to do good business because it ends up being best for the wrestling business and the fans.”

Rhino Reveals The Crazy Name WWE Wanted To Give Him, Eva Marie and Lilian Garcia At Raw

– After throwing out the first pitch at Cooley Law School Stadium’s WrestleMania Night in Lansing, Michigan, former WWE Superstar Rhino was asked in an interview with WLNS-TV why he uses that particular name.

The one-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion said that it was a better name than “Mary,” and revealed that WWE wanted to name him that (when he joined the promotion in 2001).

“[Rhino is] a lot more marketable than Terrance Guido Gerin,” he said. “But Guido’s actually pretty over. It’s better than Mary. Actually WWE wanted to name me Mary, believe it or not.”

– After competing at WWE live events over the weekend, Eva Marie will be backstage at tonight’s Raw in Greensboro, North Carolina.

    Rhino Talks About Vince McMahon Interrupting His Match, Breaking Into WWE

    Former WWE, TNA & ECW star Rhino joined the Inside The Ropes podcast and spoke about some of the key moments of his WWE run. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

    His start in WWE in 2001: “Edge, Christian and I were all buddies and I think they’d (the office) said something like they wanted me to be their brother. Edge was like, “No, you know, people know him as Rhino, they know we’re buddies, so just tag him along with us, use him as our muscle.”

    “I remember the first live promo I did and I just shit the bed. I was just so nervous. I didn’t know what they wanted me to say but y’know, I then went on and wrestled on the road for a little bit in dark matches and stuff.

    “I wrestled Steve Lombardi and he was actually the one that gave me The Gore as a finish. I used to use it in ECW as a cut off and use the piledriver for the finish. But I used to be really creative, goring people through tables and shit like that. So then I’m working with Lombardi, Brooklyn Brawler, on the house show loop and I hit him with the gore and then I’d pick him up and do a TKO. So the second night he said, “Just hit me with the gore and pin me on that. You pick me up for the TKO and it doesn’t get a reaction.” I remember thinking maybe he just didn’t wanna take it, but he was right. The gore would get a bigger reaction when I’d set up for it in the corner and ya know, the rest is history.”

    Vince McMahon coming out and interrupting his August 2003 house show match with Tajiri: “Before the show, he was on the house show loop. So before the match he said something like, “You can’t do anything wrong in the match, just call it out there,” blah blah blah.

    “Nassau Coliseum is a tough building. We’re out there and Tajiri won’t call shit and you heard what the boss said. We went out there and before [the match], one of the agents told us if they chant “boring,” don’t do anything, just sit on the hold. So you’re getting mixed instructions, but I’ve worked with Tajiri like 1000 times.

    “So we’re in the hold, they chant “boring” and Vince comes out telling us to go home and I’m thinking, “He’s trying to kick us out the ring thinking lets see what they do if I throw a monkey wrench into their match.” I thought he was just working so I’m like, “What are you gonna do? Fire me?” So he tells Brian (Hebner) to tell Tajiri to dropkick me and go to the back and I’m like, “Oh shit, he’s serious.”

    “So we go to the back, I go take a shower, then I go talk to him. I think he actually felt bad. He said, “The fans were chanting “boring” and you had him in a hold.” I said to him, “I was told by one of your agents, if they chant “boring,” then sit in the hold.” So yeah, that was it. I actually got a very good payoff for that match. That’s why I think he felt bad about it.”

    This Day In History: Ric Flair’s WWF Debut Match, Kurt Angle Found Not Guilty, ECW

    It is an interesting “day in history” for pro wrestling today, September 9th. WWE Hall Of Famer “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair had his official WWE (WWF at the time) debut match on this day in 1991. Flair defeated Jim Powers at a television taping in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

    Also on this day, in 2000, former WWE Superstar Rhino defeated Kid Kash for the ECW Television Title. That is interesting to note because Rhino would end up being the final ECW TV Champion in history, as he would hold onto the belt until the company folded in April of 2001.

    On this day in 2008, current TNA Impact Wrestling star Kurt Angle was found not guilty of driving under the influence and careless driving in a Allegheny County, Pennsylvania courtroom. Angle was arrested for one of his earlier DUI’s after a witness filed a complaint. Angle’s lawyer would later challenge the use of the witness, since police could not corroborate her claims.
