Kevin Nash Says He Isn't Impressed With Today's Wrestlers
- Kevin Nash isn't impressed with today's wrestlers. Here's what he said about the criticism from people about The Undertaker vs. Triple H at WWE Super Showdown this weekend and why neither guy is facing a younger talent when the latter can really use it: "No one cares about the young guys. When I watched Summerslam that (Undertaker and Tripe H) package caught my eye and made me want to see that match. I don’t know if I want to see Roman Reigns versus Undertaker again. What more of a rub can you give than that? He’s [been] given rubs before and they just aren’t getting over." The interview where he said this, is here. http://www.sportingnews.com/us/wwe/news/kevin-nash-nwo-hulk-hogan-scott-hall-triple-h-the-undertaker-wwe/16axcirnvkv7d11ysq1emdlns4
WXW Announced Major Changes To The Company, Shotgun TV Show
wXw just announced major changes in the company. Co-owner and CEO Christian Jakobi is taking a leave of absence due to occupational burnout. He has been running the promotion and the training school and was working ridiculous hours, as well as running and booking the events and handling administrative duties. He was also an on-air talent and worked in character development and promo classes at the school. The weekly Shotgun television show that was on their streaming service has been canceled because it wasn't getting the numbers they were hoping for. Instead, they will run feature events to advance storylines and deliver higher caliber matches. The final episode of Shotgun will be on Wednesday. They will tape a show called Shotgun XXL on Sunday for airing on 10/19. They will tape on 10/27 and 11/24 in Cologne and 12/16 in Bielefeld. Jakobi's weekly Q&A show on YouTube is also going on hiatus. They will also change their touring schedule and run shorter tours putting an emphasis on quality rather than quantity. They still expect to run 65 to 80 shows in 2019. They are also no longer handling their own ticket sales but will work with EventBrite and Eventim. Jakobi worked as Ilja Dragunov's on-screen manager on Progress in the build for the Ilja Dragunov vs. Pete Dunne match. It's also clear that WWE and wXw now have a working agreement similar to Evolve, Progress and ICW. Robbie Brookside, a WWE coach, was at the wXw school last week along with SVP of Talent Development Canyon Ceman. They were scouting talent for a November tryout camp.
NWA Can Do THIS, For Their National Title But Are "Creatively Challenged" With Womens Title, HHMM
They can't come up with a creative way to properly resurrect the Womens championship so, what.. They just said "fuck it, just have her defend it and hope nobody notices that it HASN'T been defended in months"? Pretty weak copout and shows that they are, creatively challenged in some ways there at the NWA. If you can make the time to do something properly with the national title? Why not with the Womens championship as well?
the NWA will resurrect the National title at their 10/21 70th Anniversary event in Nashville, TN at the TNA Asylum.Today, the promotion announced the crowning of the new champion will consist of two stages. Stage One will consist of four-way elimination matches. In Stage Two, the winners of those two matches will then face off to crown the first champion of the new era.
Announced thus far for the National Championship:
*Colt Cabana.
*Scorpio Sky.
*Jay Bradley.
*Mike Parrow.
*Sam Shaw.
*Ricky Starks.
Why Can't You Have Both? The Undertaker Explains Why Characters Are More Important Than Moves In Pro Wrestling
Every time some wrestler says Moves are important than Characters or like here with the Undertaker 'claiming', Characters are more important than moves, I keep asking the same question. Why can't there be both? It's been done before. need a list? Dean Malenko, Too Cold Scorpio, Chris Benoit, Tazz, Bruiser Brody, Billy Robinson, Nick Bockwinkel, Need I go on? nnaa I didn't think so, my point is proven and proven correct. Though every time I ask "Why can't we have both"? It's funny how nobody seems to have an answer for that.
The Undertaker will be making his first non-WrestleMania wrestling appearance this Sunday at Super Show-Down since the Greatest Royal Rumble this past April, and only his second televised non-WrestleMania match since competing in the 2017 Royal Rumble nearly two years ago. At 53, Undertaker still relies on being one of the most popular characters in WWE history to continue to awe the fans in attendance.
The Undertaker will be making his first non-WrestleMania wrestling appearance this Sunday at Super Show-Down since the Greatest Royal Rumble this past April, and only his second televised non-WrestleMania match since competing in the 2017 Royal Rumble nearly two years ago. At 53, Undertaker still relies on being one of the most popular characters in WWE history to continue to awe the fans in attendance.
Recently, Undertaker was a part of a series from Pastor Ed Young of Fellowship Church called Wrastlin, which documents the strong connections between wrestling and the Bible. Undertaker was a guest, and did a rare, out-of-character interview about the pro wrestling business.
Having nearly 30 years of experience from the WWE regarding his character being able to transcend eras, Undertaker commented on how important this element is in the success of a competitor.
"Wrestling and sports entertainment is not about the moves, it really isn't," said Undertaker (h/t Sky Sports). "It's about being able to evoke emotion in one facet or another. You either have to make people love you or you have to make them hate you, it doesn't really matter either way. If you can't bring that emotion out of your audience then you're not going to have them for long."
Undertaker added on how many matches in this era of wrestling cause fans to focus more on the moves than putting the wrestlers over.
"What happens with these young guys is they're so athletic and so gifted, they'll do some crazy double backflip off the top rope and land on somebody on the floor and then that's what the audience takes away from it, that this guy does crazy stuff," said Undertaker. "But you can only see that so many times before you need something new, and then the person has to up that. They have to keep upping the ante and by doing that you increase your potential for injuries."
Undertaker highlighted characters such as The Rock, Ric Flair, and John Cena being people who had the ability of making people love them or hate them. Although wrestling moves should be used to further tell the story, it ultimately "boils down to the character and being able to bring either love or hate out of your crowd."
(Rolls Eyes At This Bullshit) NEW TITLE MATCH ANNOUNCED FOR NWA 70th ANNIVERSARY EVENT

DOUG WILLIAMS ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Williams originally broke into the business as Doug the Anarchist, trained by the late Andre Baker at Hammerlock Wrestling in Great Britain and was a tremendously talented performer when it came to ring psychology and in-ring finesse. Williams first popularized the rolling suplex that Chad Gable now utilizes in WWE. He was also a regular for Pro Wrestling NOAH, where he held the GHC Tag Team Championship with 2 Cold Scorpio.
Williams first came to the United States working for New England Championship Wrestling and was a top flight performer in the early era of Ring of Honor, including competing in the 60 minute four way bout to crown the first ROH Champion.
Williams had a long run with TNA (now Impact) Wrestling, leading the British Invasion group with runs as the company's X-Division and TV Champion. With the revolving door inside Impact management at the time, his pushes were haphazard, although his in-ring work was second to none. He eventually landed in Ohio Valley Wrestling as a trainer during the time Impact had a working relationship with the promotion. Impact opted to release Williams in 2013 as part of cost cutting measures.Williams returned home to Great Britain, where he wrestled for a number of promotions as part of the current resurgence of the business in that part of the world.
