Ever since Seth Rollins has joined forces with Bron Breakker, it has been absolutely crazy in the squared circle. Now to add to that element of threat and menace, there was a new name on the list and that is of Bronson Reed. There were talks of Evolution 2.0 and The Shield 2.0 but looks like WWE has finally forged a faction which has not only exceeded all expectations but is expected to run riots for a while.

The trio of Breakker, Rollins and Reed will need some significant opposition to confront them. Whether it is going to be Cm Punk, Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn joining forces or will there be someone else coming down the pike to confront the mighty trio, only time can reveal it all.

While Triple H now serves as WWE’s Chief Content Officer, fans continue to hold fond memories of “The Game” from his days as a dominant in-ring competitor. His legendary career saw him share the squared circle with icons such as The Undertaker, The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Daniel Bryan, consistently showcasing elite-level wrestling skills.

However, Triple H’s success inside the ring did not come without its challenges. He found himself involved in storylines that did not align with his usual standards or preferences. One such example was his rivalry with Scott Steiner, a feud that has since been etched into WWE history as one of the most underwhelming and disappointing chapters in his storied career.

Pat McAfee is an energizing entertainment powerhouse on WWE’s Monday Night Raw, on his talk show, and everywhere else he goes. He makes people smile, he brings the laughter, and he brings the love, whether he is announcing a match or revving up his fans. But through that bright smile, Pat has been carrying a heavy burden of pain that most people won’t ever see.

On May 2, 2025, in a gut-punch of an Instagram post for his 38th birthday, his wife, Samantha, shared they lost another baby to miscarriage this year. Pat is, for all the things he has accomplished, just a guy trying to make sense of things while life throws the toughest challenges at him, but he shows up today at WWE Backlash 2025 to take on Gunther in a deeply personal way.

John Cena and Roman Reigns have in fact proved how well built they are by maintaining their physique for a very long time. But now I feel their time’s up. There’s one dude in 2025, who is taking (and has taken) that to a whole other level: Bron Breakker. This guy is pure muscle.

Everything about him makes him look like a monster. After what he did to Reigns on Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania 41, I’m going to say he has the best body in the business right now, and I cannot quit talking about it.

A body built for destruction

Bron Breakker looks like he came alive out of a piece of granite. At six feet tall and about 250 pounds, he is literally a human tank. His chest is probably close to 50 inches, and those biceps? Damn! Probably close to 20 inches of iron.

Bronn the Breakker as...

Dominik Mysterio made headlines at WrestleMania after becoming the Intercontinental Champion. He secured this title in a fatal 4-way match. It was a brilliant performance, and he had every right to celebrate it.

However, during his celebration, he went a little overboard and tried to show off to a WWE legend. It was a dangerous move, and the consequences were immediate, as the legend was already cursing and threatening him. Dominik did the right thing and kept walking away; otherwise, his celebrations would have turned into sadness.

Dominik Mysterios shows off his Intercontinental Championship in front of a WWE legend

WrestleMania 41 has been one of the most amazing nights for Dominik Mysterio in the WWE so far. He emerged victorious in a fatal four-way match against Penta, Bron Breakker, and Finn Balor. This was an extraordinary milestone for him, and he was celebrating it to the fullest.

However,...

Who is Bron Breakker, and why is everyone suddenly obsessed with him? Is it the muscles? Is it his wild energy? Or the fact that he’s basically WWE royalty with a legacy to protect? Well, as WrestleMania 41 gets closer, all eyes are on this powerhouse who’s set to defend his Intercontinental title against some major names—Penta, Finn Balor, and Dominik Mysterio.

But before we get caught up in his intense moves and smackdowns, let’s rewind the tape because behind that chilling glare and insane athleticism is a guy with a fascinating story. From being a “nepo baby” of the wrestling industry to becoming one of WWE’s hottest stars—here’s the real deal on Bron Breakker.

Bron Breakker’s family and WWE nepotism

Did you know that Bronson Rechsteiner, who goes by the WWE ring name Bron Breakker, isn’t just another WWE newbie? Like Roman Reigns,...

Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar facing each other was a dream scenario for many a wrestling fan. It came true when they started antagonizing each other just after the 2016 WWE Draft. Both were from different brands and the build-up was each one of them invading and attacking the other.

Orton sounded the bugle by invading Monday Night Raw and giving an Rko to Brock Lesnar. ‘The Beast Incarnate’, too, repaid the favor when he invaded SmackDown and F-5’ed Randy Orton. It felt like a hot rivalry made hotter because of two things: (a) Both of them, at that point, had never had a match with each other (b) Lesnar was coming off a huge victory against Mark Hunt at UFC 200(which was his return to Mma after four-ish years).

The match was booked for SummerSlam 2016. The bout was very...

Brock Lesnar hasn’t been seen on WWE TV since SummerSlam 2023, and it looks like fans will have to wait longer for his return. Since being named in the Janel Grant lawsuit, there have been no rumors of him coming back. It’s a shame because Lesnar was a once-in-a-lifetime talent, but ultimately, chickens do have to come home to roost.

There was no chance that he would have returned, but fans of his perked their ears up when Cody Rhodes mentioned him recently on Smackdown. They thought this mention must mean that his return was close, but that was not the case. According to insiders, there is no chance of Lesnar’s return at WrestleMania 41, and that namedrop meant nothing.

Sean Ross Sapp and Dave Meltzer rule out any immediate return

There are presently no plans to bring Brock Lesnar back to the WWE, according to Sean Ross Sapp...

Rhea Ripley sometimes makes the world go mad. Whether it be her aesthetic or her in-ring skills, people are love in with everything related to Ripley. She is for everyone: from wrestling fans to gooners. The people in the second category love it when Ripley posts something that piques their interest. This category is also not limited to just wrestling fans. Fellow wrestlers too indulge in such activity.

Nia Jax is one such person. ‘The Irresistible Force’ posts comments that can be considered a bit raunchy, and today was no exception. After Rhea posted a picture showing her physique in a bikini on all her social media, Jax was there with a wild comment.

Rhea Ripley is a WWE superstar for everyone (Credits: WWE)

Jax did not resist bringing up an incident from last year where she got stinkfaced by ‘The Eradicator.’ It was a moment the former WWE Women’s Champion can never forget.

Bron Breakker has risen through the ranks in the WWE. Unlike most WWE superstars who symbolize either power or agility, Breakker has the unique ability to generate power and exemplify athleticism at its best. The combination has made him a force to be reckoned with in the company.

With unmatched skills in the squared ring, Bron Breakker resembles the WWE veteran Scott Steiner. Put the iconic chain-mail and grand entrance of Scott Steiner aside and what you get is the same pure power and sheer determination which both Scott and Bron share even after being generations apart from each other.

The similarity between Bron and Scott does not come without a reason. The WWE veteran is, in fact, closely related to Bron Breakker. WWE fans remember the machoism not just from Scott but also from his brother,...

Imagine: a WWE ring, a cheering crowd, and Bron Breakker running like a runaway freight train, hitting a spear that not only hits, it obliterates. Breakker recently unleashed his finishing move on a fellow superstar, and social media went wild. Nobody could stop raving about how it eclipsed spears from the likes of Edge and Roman Reigns.

Some even had the audacity to whisper it was the greatest since the legendary Goldbergs, long viewed as the gold standard of wrestling finishers. What is Breakker’s secret to his stunning spear? It’s not just power — it’s precision, personality, and a legacy that runs deep.

In 2025, some of the biggest wrestling stars will draw the curtain on their illustrious careers. One of those names will do it in the global juggernaut, WWE, as they announced last year. He is none other than the WCW Icon, Bill Goldberg.

The former WCW Champion has been one of the most popular legends of the business. Goldberg announced in 2024 that he will have his retirement match the year after in WWE, after having conversations with the company and the man in charge, Paul “Triple H” Levesque.

Goldberg was recently asked about the possibility of his opponent for his last match. He did drop a few interesting names in the conversation. However, the one rising star he picked might just expose him if the match were to actually take place in WWE.

Who did Goldberg choose as his last opponent in WWE? Bron Breakker in...

Peacock has revealed the trailer and key art for WrestleMania IX: Becoming a Spectacle, which will begin streaming on Friday, April 11. Matt Braine directed the special, which James Duell produced.

Featuring never-before-seen footage from the WWE archives, WrestleMania IX: Becoming a Spectacle follows the making of the Las Vegas WrestleMania in 1993 that paved the path forward for the company.

From the chaos outside Caesars Palace to the action inside the ring, the documentary pulls back the curtain on the “World’s Largest Toga Party” with an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the event.

The documentary premieres on Friday, April 11, exclusively on Peacock, just ahead of the highly anticipated WrestleMania 41, set in the same city as WrestleMania IX more than 30 years later. WrestleMania 41 streams live exclusively on Peacock on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, at 7 Et/4 Pt.

Becoming a Spectacle features commentary from WWE Hall of Famers and Superstars, including Bret “The Hitman” Hart,...

Peacock is taking fans back to the "World's Largest Toga Party" with its latest WWE Original documentary, WrestleMania IX: Becoming a Spectacle — and the official trailer has just dropped ahead of its April 11 premiere. The documentary will also feature never-before-seen footage from the WWE archives and brand-new interviews with legends of the squared circle, and will allow audiences to pull the curtain back on one of the most unforgettable and bizarre events in WrestleMania history. While WrestleMania has always been an event of pomp and circumstance, this one — set against the glitzy chaos of Las Vegas in 1993 — took the biscuit when it came to over-the-top displays.

The documentary charts the making of WWE’s ninth annual showcase — a Roman-themed outdoor extravaganza at Caesars Palace that would help shape the future of the brand, including all the misfires, the disasters, and the elephants — yes, elephants.

The trailer also teases appearances from...

There is no denying just how special of an annual event that WWE has made out of WrestleMania. It was sold to audiences initially as the Super Bowl of wrestling, and more than 40 years after the first event, it feels even bigger than that initial selling point. Through incredible matches and big moments, it's where wrestlers become legends in real-time.

However, not everybody is offered the same luxury of becoming a household name at WWE's biggest event. Because WrestleMania is loaded down from top to bottom with big-time matches, not every match is going to feel big. The biggest moments will be big enough to be astronomical, but others end up going forgotten or overshadowed in the long run. These end up being some of the most underrated forgotten classics that the event has to offer, and here are just some examples.

Now that it has been decades since Jeff Probst began hosting Survivor, there have been lots of seasons for fans to rank and many fantastic players. On top of that, Survivor has been around so long that new fans have to figure out which seasons to watch first.

Back when the beloved reality TV show was so young that it hadn't been long since the first player was medically evacuated, Jenna Morasca rose to fame. Known as Survivor's sixth winner, Jenna went on to have several amazing experiences after the show. One of the most astounding things Jenna went on to do was have an extremely embarrassing wrestling career after Survivor.

In 2003, fans watched Jenna Morasca win Survivor: The Amazon which was the show's sixth season. The following year, Jenna returned to national television when she briefly played during...

Ever since exploding on the scene three years ago, Bron Breakker has been a dominant force in WWE. The powerhouse ran through opponents starting at Nxt, becoming heavyweight champion less than six months after having his first match on television. This momentum only got stronger leading to the start of his run on the main roster. Breakker struck gold at SummerSlam, decisively defeating Sami Zayn to win the coveted Intercontinental title. At this rate, the son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner could exceed his WWE Hall of Fame family’s accomplishments in the company. Here the next-generation Steiner reflects on the ascension to the top. Who has helped with your transition to the main roster? Bron Breakker: It has been a combination of a lot of people. Paul Heyman is someone who has been a crucial hand in me on the main roster. Cm Punk as well.

WWE Hall of Famer and wrestling legend “Superstar” Billy Graham has died. He was 79.

The news was confirmed by fellow wrestling icon Ric Flair, who tweeted a tribute to the beloved titan of the ring.

“The Superstar Billy Graham Just Left Us,” Flair wrote. “Thank You For All Your Influence On My Career!”

Graham — whose real name was Eldridge Wayne Coleman — died on Wednesday when he was taken off life support after several days, TMZ reports. His family revealed on Monday that he’d been hospitalized and in the ICU for several weeks while battling an unspecified illness.

The outlet reports that Graham’s wife and daughter were with him by his side in the hospital when he died.

Before finding his calling in professional wrestling, Graham was a bodybuilder and played in the Canadian Football League until he began his career in the American Wrestling Association in the 1960s,...

Pro wrestling legend “Superstar” Billy Graham died Wednesday at 79. No cause was given, but he had been battling ill health for some time and had been hospitalized in the ICU on life support.

Graham, real name Eldridge Wayne Coleman, was a three-time former world champion professional wrestler, including a 1977-78 title run in the Wwwf, which eventually became the WWE. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004.

His wife, Valerie, posted Monday morning on Graham’s Facebook account that she had refused to remove his life support.

His colleagues mourned his loss, but saluted his legacy.

“The Superstar Billy Graham Just Left US,” wrestling colleague Ric Flair tweeted. “Thank You For All Your Influence on My Career!”

“Superstar Billy Graham. One Of My First Teachers Of The Heat,” the Iron Shiek tweeted. “The Real Legend Bubba. He Love Me I Love Him. Together We Hit The Gym And Shock The Earth.

Eldridge Wayne Coleman, a professional wrestler better known to millions as WWE legend “Superstar” Billy Graham, died Wednesday of undisclosed causes. He was 79, and had reportedly been battling a number of health issues.

The news was made public by fellow pro-wrestling legend Ric Flair, and confirmed by Dave Meltzer, a reporter for the Wrestling Observer, later confirmed the news.

The Superstar Billy Graham Just Left Us,” Flair wrote. “Thank You For All Your Influence On My Career!”

I am so sad. My entire life, and tons of others from Flair to Hogan to Jesse to tons you wouldn't know and tons you would changed because of him. Valerie, I just wish you the best, you're a saint and more people than you know are aware of it. https://t.co/xr48yzf20G

Scott Steiner is responsible for some of the most surreal promos in modern wrestling. He wasn't known for his razor-sharp wits like The Rock or Mjf. Instead, his mic work was oddly cerebral and one-of-a-kind. Fans never knew what would come out of his mouth, be it during his time in WCW, WWE or Tna. Steiner's promos generally blurred the lines between works and shoots, primarily when he was engaged. That might not have been the case ahead of Tna's Sacrifice pay-per-view in 2008, though, when he cut the most infamous promo of his career on Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle.

During the build towards their triple-threat match, Steiner decided to mathematically break down the odds of Angle walking away with a win at Sacrifice. He went off the rails early in the promo, and let's just say his numbers didn't exactly add up. This made it viral in the first...

Welcome to this review of night two of WWE’s Wrestlemania 38 pay per view which emanated from the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas in front of a crowd of apparently 77,899 people!

Match #1: Triple Threat Match – Rk-Bro def. Alpha Academy and The Street Profits The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

The red-hot Rk-Bro remain atop Raw, The Street Profits live to fight another day, and Alpha Academy have made a new, and highly decorated, enemy following the frenzy that was the Raw Tag Team Title Triple Threat Match. Competing under sudden death rules in which the first team to score a pinfall or submission would be declared the winner, all six Superstars fought with a sense of urgency. The first fireworks came when Montez Ford soared over the ring post onto the rest of the field, followed by a moonsault to the floor by Chad Gable. Otis later displayed his unparalleled strength,...

Representative Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.) incorrectly claimed that hospitals are not overwhelmed by Covid patients and downplayed the stark rise in cases nationwide by callously saying, “We’re human, we can’t live forever.”

The lawmaker made the comments during a Thursday interview on the right-wing network “Real America’s Voice.”

While claiming not to be anti-vax, Greene expressed more concern about the eventuality of the Fda officially approving the vaccines than she did for those suffering from the virus.

“Once the vaccines are approved by the Fda, we’re...

Welcome to this review of Impact Wrestling’s Homecoming pay per view, which features a tournament to crown Impact’s King & Queen (of the Ring??) and a highly-anticipated X Division match… which, to be fair, we know Josh Alexander Isn’T going to lose? Why the hell would you take the belt off such an enigmatic and Over wrestler?

Match #1: Homecoming Tournament 1st Round Match – Deonna Purrazzo & Matthew Rehwoldt def. Hernandez & Alisha The following is courtesy of impactwrestling.com:

The Drama King, Matthew Rehwoldt makes his shocking Impact debut and will be the partner of Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo! Hernandez tags into the match and Purrazzo goes toe-to-toe with the big man! Purrazzo almost takes him off his feet with a bicycle kick! Alisha sends Purrazzo to the outside, allowing Hernandez to hit Rehwoldt with a delayed vertical suplex. The pace quickens as Hernandez connects with running senton on Rehwoldt.

Director David Del Rio and writer Justin Xavier, the duo who gave us the twisted Christmas story Sick for Toys, are back with Road Head, a bizarre, raunchy, and occasionally bloody, horror comedy with a distinct LGBTQ+ element. Can this tale of a road trip from hell bring you satisfaction? Or is this one time you should actually decline road head?

Bryan (Clayton Farris; Foster Boy) and his boyfriend Alex just wanted to go on a road trip to Isola Lake out in the desert. Unfortunately Bryan’s bestie Stephanie (Elizabeth Grullon; Killing Lazarus) got dumped by her boyfriend and decides to play third wheel despite the fact she and Alex don’t get along.

To make matters worse the lake turns out to be dried out.

Well, Royal Rumble has passed us by, WrestleMania is in the distance, SummerSlam is in the rear-view, and so it leaves that final member of the original “Big Four” WWE shows left for the year, with Survivor Series on the horizon for this November. I thought, then, that it might be fun to go back through the annals of Survivor Series history and pluck out ten of the very best matches from the event. Now, this wasn’t going to be a cake-walk. It wouldn’t be easy, afterall, there have been hundreds of matches at the event since its inception back in 1987. Still… I like a challenge, and I like pro-wrestling, so here we go. The ten best (in my modest little view at least) matches in Survivor Series history.

10) The Hart Foundation, The Islanders, The Dream Team, Demolition & The Bolsheviks vs. Strike Force, The British Bulldogs, The Killer Bees,...

Welcome to this special return of Total NonStop Action Wrestling in Tna on Axs TV, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and for this occasion, we have an hour of Impact Wrestling going by its real name, Tna Wrestling. I’m interested to see how this turns out, so no bull-s— from me.

Match #1: Hernandez def. Chase Stevens The following is courtesy of impactwrestling.com:

Former Tag Team Champions Hernandez (with Lax) and Chase Stevens (with The Naturals) do battle in the opening contest. Hernandez attempts the Border Toss in the early going but Stevens counters into a German Suplex. Stevens continues his attack with a big Superplex. Hernandez connects with the Border Toss to score the win.

My Opinion: 2 out of 5 – This was far too short to matter, but this was a nostalgia trip, so it was successful in that regard.

Match #2: Suicide & Manik def.

Welcome to this review of National Wrestling Alliance: Hard Times, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the finale of the TV Title Tournament, as well as Nick Aldis defending the Nwa World Title against Ring Of Honor’s Flip Gordon. Let’s get right to it.

The following four matches are part of the TV Title Tournament: Match #1: Trevor Murdoch defeated The Question Mark

My Opinion: 2.3 out of 5 – While not a great match, this was a fun way for Murdoch to get a win.

Match #2: Dan Maff defeated Zicky Dice

My Opinion: 3 out of 5 – This was a good little match with a lot of hard hits and big slams with the right winner.

Match #3: Ricky Starks defeated Matt Cross

My Opinion: 3.2 out of 5 – This was a fine match that saw the more famous Cross put over a top prospect in Starks,...

Welcome to this week’s edition of The Last Week In Wrestling, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have…if I’ve ever offended any-one on here with these reviews, then I apologize. I get carried away with the jokes and all that often enough. I read through a few of my reviews a bit ago and I can be a bit much. If I ever say anything too wild, just remember that these are just free-wheelin’ shots in the dark. I enjoy reviewing the matches (even when some of them are disappointing). That’s about all I want of that touchy-feely crap. Alright, it’s wrestling time.

Best Moment:

Memphis Gets Its Due (All Elite Wrestling) – Aew had a great segment where numerous icons of the Memphis wrestling scene were honored for their great careers. This was a very touching tribute to that piece of...

Welcome to this week’s review of National Wrestling Alliance: Powerrr, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a special 90-minute season finale for the go-home show to Hard Times. Ricky Morton is back to have his massive World Title Match against Nick Aldis. It sounds like we’ve got a good show here.

Match #1: Thunder Rosa defeated Tasha Steelz

My Opinion: 2.7 out of 5 – This was getting good, but it stopped after just two or so minutes. Why not let this sucker go for a while? Fortunately, this was a case of two women getting a lot in to a small space.

Match #2: Trevor Murdoch defeated Tom Lattimer – TV Title Tournament Match

My Opinion: 2.9 out of 5 – This was a brisk battle that went…two minutes. I thought the 90-minute window would allow for longer matches? Any-way, these two worked very well together for...

Welcome to this week’s National Wrestling Alliance: Powerrr review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I look just like Aisha Tyler. Let’s make some s— up…like I just did.

Match #1: Zane Dawson defeated Dave Dawson – National Wrestling Alliance TV Title Tournament Match

My Opinion: 2.1 out of 5 – This wasn’t much other than a lot of talking. There were some slams and all that stuff, but you can skip this sucker.

Match #2: Melina defeated Ashley Vox

My Opinion: 2.6 out of 5 – Melina did well here and looked pretty tough over-all. Vox looks like she could rip some-one in half, which ain’t bad for this sport. This was waaaaaaaaaaaay too short. Why are these matches so f—— short? Do you wanna watch a show of three minute matches? Do you have a short attention span? Are you a pigeon? Am I just writing all...

Welcome to this review of National Wrestling Alliance: Powerrr, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and the world would be better off if we stopped using money. Do you really like money? It’s a pain in the ass. My whole dumb plan would be to ask people to just give each other goods and services for free. Don’t wait for the governments to do this, because they won’t. I bet that if people did this for a week, we’d get addicted to that world without money in short order. Yeah, we’d have to re-assess how we live our lives (kiss restaurants and servants bye-bye…mostly), but I have faith that, when the chips are down, people will make the right decisions if you actually let them make the decision for them-selves. What does this have to do with Nwa: Powerrr? Technically,...

Welcome to this review of Impact Wrestling’s Unbreakable event, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have several big matches here to cover, so let’s jump right into this before I knock a vase over and prove the title wrong.

Match #1: Ray Rosas & Peter Avalon defeated Chris Bey & Watts

My Opinion: 2.5 out of 5 – This was a pretty good match that had enough quick action to make this chunk of time fly by, but not stick around in your memory. Every-body here performed well, but it all seemed like this entire match was only booked to fill time, which is a shame given the talent involved. Hey, at least these guys got on Pay Per View.

Match #2: Jake Crist defeated Trey, Ace Austin, Danny Rivera and Adrian Quest – X-Division Title Match

My Opinion: 2.5 out of 5 – Like many of the X-Division matches, this was mostly a spot-fest,...

From the moment my photographer, Josh Mundy, and I pulled into the parking lot at the Wyndham Garden in Sterling Heights, Michigan, I knew that Astronomicon 2 would be considerably more sizable than its predecessor. Attendees not only didn’t have to brave a foot of snow as they did last year, but positive word of mouth and good promotion allowed for the second effort to attract droves of people hoping to meet their favorites celebrities, or to just take part in the festivities.

In addition to the factors just mentioned, I could plainly see how even more exhibitor tables were added to the lobby area that was once again home to the Ghostbusters Detroit setup, a delight to visitors of all ages. But once you ventured to the showroom floor itself, you’d find a generous helping of artists, crafters and vendors who had something to please horror, sci-fi and comic book fans.

Welcome to this week’s Impact Wrestling review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the card after Homecoming, so let’s see if it all turns out fine.

Match #1: Lucha Bros! (Pentagon Jr. & Fenix) def. Rascalz (Wentz & Dez) The following is courtesy of impactwrestling.com:

Wentz hits a springboard corkscrew on Pentagon. Fenix hits a diving headbutt on Wentz off the top. Wentz connects with a Bronco Buster on Pentagon in the corner. Fenix cuts off the Rascalz’ offense with a double cutter! Fenix flies as he takes out Wentz with a suicide dive. The Lucha Bros hit Dez with a double superkick but get taken out with a Swanton Bomb from Wentz! The Lucha Bros hit a unique combination of moves, culminating with a Fear Factor Piledriver on Dez to pick up the win.

My Take: 3.5 out of 5 – This was excellent and I...

Welcome to this week’s Lucha Underground review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a few big matches to cover here, so let’s do so.

Match #1: Mil Muertes (w/ Catrina) beat The Mack – Haunted House Match

This was a good match that brought Halloween a few months early. The idea here was that they had half of the inventory from Party City to attack each other with. This was like watching the Scott Steiner/Jeff Jarrett brawl from Tna/Impact that was booked to be Mick Foley’s idea. If Lou Thesz was here, he’d cut a promo on how stupid these two guys were for working a match like this and how bad their gimmicks are. The Mack deserves more than just being fodder for Mil, who is talented, but not likely to go too much farther with this character. Mil is a fun gimmick,...

Here’s your Lucha Underground Season 4, episode 3, review for Wednesday June 27th 2018:

Match #1: Xo Lishus beat Jack Evans

Regularly known as Sonny Kiss, this was Xo Lishus’s debut. With a vibrant personality and a buoyant move-set, Xo took on Jack Evans, one of wrestling’s best aerialists and all-around fighters. Evans was a heel here, which never seems to be the way the people want him, but Lucha Underground isn’t very flexible in the way they book their faces and heels, so its just some-thing he’s stuck with. These two matched up really well, Evans leap from corner to corner like a maniac and Xo bouncing around like a peacock colored pin-ball. I’m glad to see that Lu doesn’t have a problem with putting over new stars on the first night, especially ones who look like Vince McMahon’s worst nightmares come true.

Impact wrestling star Djz says he came thiiis close to dying from an injury he suffered during a 2017 wrestling match ... and it's a miracle he was able to recover and wrestle again. Djz -- real name Michael Paris -- unknowingly ruptured his colon during a match in Mexico City ... but didn't realize the severity of the injury until after the match.

Seemingly every promotion out there has tried to release their own Royal Rumble knockoff. Here's a look at who has what.

I started watching wrestling in the beginning of 1991 and Royal Rumble was my first ever PPV. By that point, there were only three installments before it and I kept checking it out every January. I’ve written a bunch of articles on the subject on this website, which are updated annually. Whether it’s from owning the box set of the first 20 years of the show on DVD or the creation of the WWE Network, I’ve seen each Rumble match multiple times. There are a lot of matches, sure, but the well has run dry and sometimes I just want more.

And yes, there are a couple of extra, official Royal Rumbles out there. There was the Corporate Royal Rumble, the Royal Rumble for the vertically-challenged,...

In a business full of outspoken and outlandish characters, perhaps none are as outspoken and outlandish as Scott Steiner. The Big Bad Booty Daddy has never been shy about expressing himself and has in recent years garnered a reputation from shooting hard at some of the industry’s biggest names.

Which is why he was the perfect choice for a live Q and A! On March 21st 2016, Inside the Ropes presented the first night of the ‘Scott Steiner: Live and Uncensored’ tour at The Garage in Islington, London. A very enthusiastic crowd were on hand to meet the legend and hear his unfiltered opinions on everyone and everything from his 30-year career.

And boy was Steiner game for this. He admitted at the start of the show that he’d never done anything quite like this, going as far as to say that this was the most...

WWE’s February pay-per-views are typically the last major stop on the road to WrestleMania. They are the shows that feature (at least some of) the final significant swerves and championship victories ahead of the Showcase of the Immortals. In some instances, they even drastically alter the direction the company takes its top feuds and how they use their biggest stars.

The shows have been home to epic encounters and five-star classics. From Steve Austin vs. Triple H in 2001 to Kurt Angle vs. The Undertaker in 06, WWE’s February broadcasts have brought fans truly enduring matches.

For every Cactus Jack vs. Triple H Hell in a Cell match, though, there are three or four matches that royally reek of sucktitude. Like, Scott Steiner circa 2003 sucking. Or Blue Meanie vs. Goldust in a battle of He Who is Freakier suckiness.

As often as the performers are working hard in...

They don’t make ’em like Scott Steiner anymore, do they?

In a landscape dominated by colourful, off-the-wall characters, the ‘Genetic Freak’ stood out amongst the most colourful and off-the-wall. A legit badass with a hair-trigger temper and a penchant for doing whatever the hell he wanted, Steiner was one of the most feared men in the business, especially during the final few years of WCW.

Steiner, revamped as ‘Big Poppa Pump’, was given a loose cannon character to portray. He would interrupt broadcasts, beat people up for next-to-nothing and ‘shoot’ on anyone he damn well pleased. Trouble was, most of this genuinely wasn’t scripted, and was simply Scott Steiner just being Scott Steiner.

The man was a menace but, damn, was he entertaining. It’s said that the best, most successful wrestling characters are the ones that closely mimic the person whose portraying them, and it...

Way back in 2012, Tna filed a lawsuit against “Big Poppa Pump” Scott Steiner seeking damages over a 10-day long Twitter rant disparaging the company. Steiner took to social media that year and attacked the company along with Hulk Hogan, his daughter Brooke, Eric Bischoff, and Bruce Pritchard among others for over a week.

“Right now im trying to save Tna bcuz its the titanic and its sinking fast bcuz Hogan and Bischoff r doing the same the did to de…Same bullshit they did to destroy WCW” said Steiner in one Twitter rant. “Not sure how pritchard hogan n bitchoff convinced dixie to turn her back on the ppl who built up Tna. They cut the money for catering and we startd using paper plates n plastic.f*****g crazy!!!!” the Genetic Freak said in another.

At the time of the filing of the lawsuit, Tna claimed Scott Steiner...

Mark Twain said, “‘It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt”. Mark Twain must not be widely read in wrestling circles, because there have been a lot of really bad promos over the years. It’s not a recent phenomenon, and there are as many types of bad promo as there are stars in the sky.

You’ve got notorious marblemouths like Scott Steiner who spout nonsense with absolute aplomb. You’ve got well-intentioned glossophobes like Roman Reigns or early Miz who desperately want to do a good job but are overproduced and underprepared. Especially in the old days, you’d have guys in the Road Warrior Animal mold who’d just shout things Really Loud and hope that decibel level counted for something.

Part of the problem is that promoters have been trained to believe that...

Scott Steiner is one of the most unique characters in wrestling. He’s not afraid to speak his mind and he’s at it again because he recorded a video where he challenged Hulk Hogan to have a $1 million fight with him.

The video comes from WrestlingInc and it shows Steiner ranting about Hogan while also tossing $100 bills at the camera to show that he’s doing just fine financially.

Steiner’s challenge is for Hogan to try to bodyslam him at a June 7 wrestling event at the New York Mets baseball Shea Stadium. His reasoning is that Hulk Hogan’s most famous moment in his career was when he bodyslammed Andre the Giant at WrestleMania 3. Keep in mind that this was during a worked pro wrestling match in 1987, but Steiner wants Hogan to try to legitimately do it.

Here’s one of the quotes from Steiner: “June 7th,...
