Ouch Times Two. WWE Provides Medical Updates On Braun Strowman And Bobby Lashley.

Posted: 01 Jul 2019 10:18 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/ouch-times-two-medical-updates-braun-strowman-bobby-lashley/


They’re off to a big start. If there is one thing that WWE fans have been complaining about as of late, it has been the television shows being rather stale. There does seem to be some weight behind that idea, as both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live have been boring as of late. This week’s
Monday Night Raw opened with a big angle and the fallout has already
started.

This week’s Monday Night Raw began with a Falls Count Anywhere match
between Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley, ending in a no contest when the
two of them went crashing through the set. The crash set off a series of explosions which left the set damaged for the rest of the night. WWE.com
has offered a medical update on the pair, saying that Lashley is resting comfortably while Strowman may have suffered a ruptured spleen. These
injuries are most likely kayfabe.

What else could this be? Check out the exploding crash:

Opinion: This was a heck of a way to get the show going and that is what
the company has been needing as of late. Above all else, it felt different
and exciting, which you do not get enough of around Monday Night Raw these days. Of course you can only do something like this ever so often but at
least the one time they did it, they made it look as good as they could
have.

What did you think of the angle? How well did WWE pull it off? Let us
know in the comments below.

Thats A Great Sign. Former WWE World Champion May Be Ready To Return From Injury.

Posted: 01 Jul 2019 10:14 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/thats-great-sign-former-wwe-world-champion-may-ready-return-injury/


It’s worth the wait. An injury is a terrible thing in wrestling (or
anywhere for that matter) as you never can tell just how long it is going
to keep someone on the shelf. Some of them can last for months on end with
the wrestlers never quite being the same against. A former World Champion
has been on the shelf since this year’s WrestleMania but now they might be ready to come back.

According to PWInsider Elite by way of 411mania.com, Sheamus is back on the road with WWE and could be making a return to television in the near
future. Sheamus has been out of the ring since WrestleMania as he
continues to deal with spinal stenosis. His tag team partner Cesaro has
moved on to a singles career, meaning that it is not clear what Sheamus
would be doing when he got back in the ring.

This is great timing. Check out Sheamus’ main roster debut, ten years ago this past Sunday:

Opinion: I’ve always been a Sheamus fan so hopefully he can get back in the ring and have one last run with the company before the injuries get the
better of him. He has always been a talented performer who can talk well enough and wrestle a solid power style. That spinal stenosis is nothing to mess with though and hopefully he can get back in the ring, just for a farewell.

What do you think of Sheamus? Will he be able to wrestle again? Let us
know in the comments below.

(WATCH): It Boiled Over. Major Heel Turn Takes Place On Monday Night Raw.

Posted: 01 Jul 2019 10:11 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/watch-boiled-major-heel-turn-takes-place-monday-night-raw/


Oh turn. Over the last few weeks, AJ Styles has called out the Good
Brothers for not being the same team that he knew in Japan. Styles may
have a point as the Good Brothers have been an afterthought for years now.
At the same time though, the team doesn’t seem to think Styles is the same person either. A lot of things came to a head after this week’s show.

This week on Monday Night Raw, Styles was defeated by Ricochet in a match
for the United States Title. After the match was over, Styles attacked Ricochet with the help of the Good Brothers. The three of them then posed
with the Too Sweet sign and said that they were back to end the show. This comes less than a week after the trio appeared together in Japan where they enjoyed the most collective success of their careers.

They’ve done this before. Check out the big post match beatdown:
[This post contains video, click to play]


Opinion: I’m not sure how well this is going to go long term but Styles has shown that he is more than comfortable as a heel in WWE. At the same time, this is as s strong of a pitch as WWE can make to the Good Brothers to keep them around, though in this case I can’t imagine them actually sticking around. At least we can get a good story out of it for the time being
though.

Do you like how things went on Monday Night Raw? What is next for Styles
and the Good Brothers? Let is know in the comments below.

The New Bosses. Update On Paul Heyman And Eric Bischoff Running WWE TV,
Havent Started Yet.

Posted: 01 Jul 2019 10:07 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/new-bosses-update-paul-heyman-eric-bischoff-running-wwe-tv-havent-started-yet/


You have to start somewhere. The biggest wrestling story of last week was
the announcement of Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman taking over SmackDown
Live and Monday Night Raw respectively. These were some fresh names
getting some authority in WWE and it was clear that things were changing.
The question became when those changes would take place, and now we might
have an idea.

According to F4WOnline.com, neither of this week’s shows will see the full influence from Bischoff and Heyman. While Heyman did have a hand in this week’s Monday Night Raw, Bischoff will have little to no influence on this week’s SmackDown Live. Bischoff’s shows will begin shortly after Extreme Rules and he is not expected to be an on-air talent. Heyman will continue
in his role as Brock Lesnar’s advocate, with no mention of his new role expected.

WWE knows things are going to get big. Check out their official
announcement of the signings:
[This post contains video, click to play]


Opinion: I’d much rather have the two of them be given time to set things
up instead of just rushing straight into everything. This week’s Monday Night Raw was an encouraging sign though as the show definitely had more
energy and a different feeling to it, which has been needed for a long time now. Hopefully that is the case with both shows, though you never can tell.

Which show are you more excited to see? How have things gone so far? Let
us know in the comments below.

REVIEW: In Your House: Mind Games: The Crazy Side Comes Out

Posted: 01 Jul 2019 10:03 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/review-house-mind-games-crazy-side-comes/


Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net, starting today. It could be anything from modern WWE
to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using
letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be?
In Your House #10: Mind Games

Date: September 22, 1996

Location: CoreStates Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Attendance: 15,000

Commentators: Vince McMahon, Jim Ross, Mr. Perfect
Much like the rest of the series so far, there isnt much to this show aside from the main event. The company is really starting to feel the heat from
WCWs NWO angle but it really doesnt seem like the WWF is trying anything to fight back. Shawn is doing what he can, but when he has nothing backing him
up, what is he supposed to do? Lets get to it.
The opening video focuses on how evil Mankind can be and how only Shawn can stop him. We also get something about Goldust vs. Undertaker despite almost
no one being interested in the feud. Tonight is the final match for them,
thank goodness.
Justin Hawk Bradshaw vs. Savio Vega
This is fallout from about five minutes ago on the pre-show. Bradshaw is a
big Texan and a newcomer who hasnt lost a match yet but is mad that he cant
get a spot on the pay per view. He attacked Savio after his Free For All
match so a Caribbean strap match was quickly made. Its the touch all four corners variety again and remember if your momentum is stopped, you lose
any corners youve touched. Savio charges in but gets taken down with
clubbing forearms and some shots to the back with the strap.
Vega is knocked to the floor and choked up against the post but he manages
to pull Bradshaw shoulder first into the steel. The most interesting part
of the match is a local independent wrestler throwing beer on Savio and slamming the can into his own head. This would be the Sandman, an ECW
mainstay with his cohort Tommy Dreamer next to him. Philadelphia was ECWs
home base and this was near the peak of ECWs popularity. The theory was
this being a shoot but it turned out to be the two companies working
together. Paul Heyman, ECW owner, can be seen holding them back as security takes them out.
Back in and Bradshaw hooks a headlock on Savio and gets three buckles
before Savio makes the save before the fourth. Some HARD strap shots to the back have Bradshaw down and Savio gets three buckles as a result before Bradshaw pulls him down to reset the score. A spinwheel kick puts Bradshaw
down again but he makes the save after two corners this time.
Bradshaw takes him down with a big boot and a HARD clothesline to get three corners but just like in the first strap match with Austin, Vega follows
along and gets them as well. Bradshaw makes the mistake of pulling on the
strap though, sending Savio into his fourth buckle for the win.
Rating: D. So remember the Austin vs. Vega match where there was a ton of
drama and hard hitting shots which got people into the match? None of that applies here. This was paint by numbers stuff which wasnt anything
interesting at all and was only interesting because of the ECW stuff.
Nothing to see here.

Its the best part of a bad match:
[This post contains video, click to play]
We recap Jose Lothario vs. Jim Cornette. This is really just an extension
of Shawn vs. Camp Cornette as Jose trained Shawn to wrestle but Cornette
swears he can beat up the old man. Jose was 61 years old at this point.
Before the match we cut to the back to see “Diesel and Razor Ramon” attacking Savio Vega. Well get to this idea later on but Im putting it off
as long as I can. In short its part of Jim Ross turning heel which has
never worked and will never work.
Jose Lothario vs. Jim Cornette
Jose drops Cornette with a single punch and does it a few more times for
good measure. Two more punches end Cornette in less than a minute. If there
was a point to this it eludes me.
Savio isnt sure what happened to him but doesnt think it was the original
Razor and Diesel. If it was the real Razor though, Savio has something for
him.
Heres Brian Pillman who had guaranteed that Bret Hart would be here
tonight, but we get a clip from Bret saying that Pillman and Owen (who said Bret would be here too) are liars. Brian talks about how this is a nice facility theyre in here, but this is just a small percentage of the
cesspool that Philadelphia has become. Pillman rips on the fans and brings
out Owen Hart to class up the place a bit.
Brian sucks up to Owen, bragging on him about how much better he is at everything than his older brother. Owen says that Bret is getting older and slower and had finally admitted that Owen was the best Hart ever. Then Bret lied about being here in Philadelphia where he had promised to praise his brother and family friend Pillman in front of the world. The only thing
that could keep him away is a fear of Steve Austin.
Heres Austin who said everyone, including Austin himself, knew Bret wasnt
going to be here tonight because hes such a coward. Austins opinion of Bret Hart is you need to add an S to his nickname (Hitman). Austin threatens to
beat Bret from one side of the ring to the other if Bret ever comes back.
This would be the start of the angle that kept the WWF afloat for the
majority of 1997 and made Steve Austin the biggest star in the wrestling
world.
We see newcomer Mark Henry walking around some of the tourists attractions
of Philadelphia.
Tag Titles: Owen Hart/British Bulldog vs. Smoking Gunns
The Gunns are defending and the challengers have no Cornette with them due
to the beating he received earlier. We see Cornette in the back with
attorney Clarence Mason having him sign something. Also I have no idea why
Owen left ringside after the previous segment when his match was next.
Billy walks behind Bart with his arm around Sunny which probably isnt a
good sign. Sunny had a tradition of having a huge poster of her fall down
from the ceiling but this time the challengers have painted a beard on it.
Nice touch.
Clarence Mason comes to ringside, apparently replacing Cornette for
tonight. Owen hits a few cross bodies for two each on Billy before its off
to a headlock. A small package gets two more for Owen as JR is still
playing the heel on commentary, ensuring Vince that the REAL Diesel and
Razor are back. Remember that line because it becomes important in a few months.
Off to Bart vs. Davey with the Bulldog hitting a few dropkicks to take over before cranking his arm for a bit. Owen comes back in for a chop block as
the target shifts to Barts knee. Owen and Bulldog take turns working on the
leg with Owen putting on a modified Indian deathlock. A Boston crab doesnt
last long as Bart quickly makes the rope but Bulldog comes in for a
vertical suplex to put him down again. Bulldog even throws in a front flip
to show off his athleticism a bit.
Back to Owen for more leg work but his spinning toe hold is countered into
a small package for two. Owen comes right back with an enziguri for two of
his own but Billy finally interferes, pulling Bulldog out to the floor and sending him into the steps. Back in and Bart is able to make the tag off to Billy. The champions take over but Billy almost immediately tags back to
Bart.
The Sidewinder connects but Mason distract the referee, allowing Owen to
come in off the top with a shot to the back of Barts head. Bulldog can only
get two though and its back to Billy who again only hits a few stomps
before tagging out to the weakened Bart. Bart loads up a powerslam on the Bulldog but gets rammed into Billy who wasnt paying attention. Davey hits
the real powerslam for the pin and the titles.
Rating: D+. The title change was the right idea but this was one of the
longest eleven minute matches Ive ever seen. Both teams were heels here so
the fans didnt have anyone to cheer for and the Gunns were boring in the
first place. It wasnt terrible but the match didnt do anything for me at
all.
Post match Sunny yells at the Gunns and calls them no good cowboy wannabes. Shes had enough and fires both of them.
Paul Bearer guarantees that Mankind will win the title tonight and blames Undertakers fans for him turning his back on Undertaker. Mankind promises
to make Shawn miserable tonight.
Mark Henry vs. Jerry Lawler
Henry is a newcomer to the WWF at this point and was on commentary during
Jake Roberts vs. Jerry Lawler last month. Lawler had tried to pour whiskey
down recovering alcoholic Roberts throat, drawing Henry off commentary for
the save. This is Henrys debut and his chance to prove that hes the Worlds Strongest Man. Lawler spends his entire walk to the ring badmouthing the Olympics (Henry was an Olympic weightlifter) and Henry in general, riling
up a crowd as only he can. Lawler may not be the most skilled grappler he
is one of the greatest of all time and making a crowd want to chase him
down with pitchforks.
Lawler offers to start with a very basic headlock to let Henry get his feet wet. Mark easily counters into a hammerlock and shoves Lawler down, sending pure fear into Lawler. Henry puts on a headlock of his own and Jerry
counters the same way Mark did earlier, but Henry counters the counter into another hammerlock. A gorilla press slam sends Lawler down again and his
own shoulder block has about the same result.
Henry sidesteps Lawler and sends him flying to the floor in a big crash.
Since plans A-C havent worked, Lawler pulls out a foreign object and socks Henry in the jaw a few times to take over for the first time. Mark will
have none of that though and fires off knees into Jerrys ribs before
finishing him with an over the shoulder backbreaker.
Rating: D. This was what it was. The match was designed to make Henry look
like a monster and thats exactly what it did. That being said, it wasnt
exactly interesting as you can tell Henry is a big strong guy just by
looking at him. At least it wasnt long or anything though and it didnt get
too repetitive.

The debut of a Hall of Famer:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Post match the New Rockers and Hunter Hearst Helmsley come out to try to
make a name for themselves against Henry and are easily dispatched.
The new tag champions are in the back with Clarence Mason. The paper that
he had Cornette sign was turning over the contract of the new champions to Mason, making him their new manager.
We recap Undertaker vs. Goldust which has been going on for about five
months now. There really isnt even much of a story to it. Basically Goldust
is weird and likes that Undertaker is weird too so they had a bunch of
boring matches. Mankind is in there too as an ally for Goldust and would eventually become the real adversary for Undertaker.
Goldust vs. Undertaker
This is called a Final Curtain match, meaning there must be a pinfall
winner so there are no disqualifications. Goldust doesnt even get a full entrance. Undertaker jumps him to start and whips Goldust from corner to
corner before lifting him up in a big choke. A legdrop gets two on Goldust
and an uppercut easily stops his big deep breath. Taker suplexes him down before hiptossing Goldust across the ring. Old School connects and
Undertaker throws him to the floor, only to have Goldust take something
from Marlenas purse.
With Marlena distracting the referee, Goldust throws powder into Takers
eyes and gets his first advantage of the match. Goldust takes it to the
floor and shoves Takers head into the steps to keep him in trouble. They
head back inside with Undertaker avoiding an uppercut but walking into a clothesline for two. Undertaker finally comes back with a belly to back
suplex but is still blinded by the dust.
Goldust comes back with a hiptoss of his own for two before trying to
smother Undertaker. That goes nowhere so Undertaker grabs him by the throat
and launches Goldust into the corner to pound away. A double clothesline
puts both guys down but Goldust goes up top, only to be chokeslammed back
down. The tombstone finally ends both Goldust and the feud.
Rating: D. NOW NEVER WRESTLE AGAIN. This was one of the least interesting
feuds Ive ever seen and it just kept going. Undertaker never lost a match
clean to Goldust and there was never any reason to think he would.
Undertaker was just a bigger deal and there was nothing Goldust could throw
at him as a real challenge. Thankfully this was the last match they would
have.
Shawn Michaels says he cant wrestle a maniac like Mankind, but thankfully
Shawn is a bit cuckoo himself, so hes walking out with the title.
WWF World Title: Shawn Michaels vs. Mankind
Druids wheel out a casket during the challengers entrance and of course
Mankind is inside. A quick elbow to the jaw puts Shawn down and theres a
shot to the throat for good measure. Mankinds signature clothesline (Cactus Clothesline) puts both guys out onto the floor where Mankind peels back the floor mats. Shawn dropkicks them into Mankinds face and jumps up and down
on Mankind before hitting a cross body off the top and out to the floor.
A flying shove sends the back of Mankinds head into the concrete again but
he doesnt seem all that bothered. Back in and a top rope ax handle drops
the challenger again and Shawn peppers him with left hands. Michaels drops
the top rope elbow for no cover before tuning up the band, only to have
Mankind bail to the floor where he holds the urn and rocks back and forth.
Back in and Shawn slugs away even more so Mankind slaps him in the face, sending it down to the mat in a brawl.
Mankind trips Shawn down in a nice amateur style move where he tries the Mandible Claw but Shawn blocks the hand. He elbows Mankind in the jaw to
escape and pounds away as theyre in what would be called full mount/guard positions respectively in MMA terms. Mankind throws him out to the floor
and sets up the announce table next to the ring, only to have Shawn dive
over to pummel Mankind even more. A suplex slams Mankinds legs into the
steps and the challenger is in big trouble.
Back in and Shawn stomps at the leg but stops to yell at the referee.
Mankind gets in a few kicks with the good leg but Michaels catches him in a dragon screw leg whip. Theres a figure four but Mankind gets in a shot to
the face to break it up. Michaels goes right back to the knee with a
dropkick and an old Mr. Perfect (on commentary) move called the Robinsdale Crunch. Off to a half crab but Mankind is quickly in the ropes for the
break.
They get back up and Shawn tries a running hurricanrana, only to have
Mankind catch him in the air and fall back to drop Shawn throat first
across the top rope. Mankind grabs a pen to stab into his own leg to wake
it up a bit in a bizarre yet smart move. Shawn gets rammed face first into
the casket and a running knee to the face keeps him in trouble. Mankinds
knee going into Shawns head slows the challenger down a bit so he rams
Shawn face first into the mat to get a breather.
Michaels comes back with a quick belly to back suplex but cant get any
momentum going with Mankind right back on him. It turns back into a
slugfest until Mankind whips him into the corner and gets Shawn tied up in
the Tree of Woe. An ax handle to the face knocks Michaels free and a boot
to the face puts him out onto the floor. Mankind follows him out but gets whipped knees first into the steps, followed by a drop toehold into the
steps for good measure.
They fight for a suplex on the apron but Shawn winds up landing on the
apron where he kicks Mankinds leg out again to take over. Back inside and
Shawn gets two off a powerslam before whipping Mankind in the ropes where
he flips over, getting his neck tied up in the ropes. Shawn goes over but
gets caught in a quick Mandible Claw to stop Shawn cold. The Claw goes on
again on the floor but Shawn launches him face first into the barricade for
the break.
Back up again and Shawn grabs a chair to block a right hand, hurting the Mandible Claw hand in a brilliant move. More chair shots to the hand have
the challenger in trouble so Shawn bites away at the fingers. Back inside
and Michaels stomps at the hand before going to the other hand to make sure
it doesnt feel unloved. Mankind manages to backdrop Shawn back to the floor
and drops an elbow off the apron in another signature move. A swinging neckbreaker puts Shawn down on the floor as these guys are getting tired.
Back in again and Mankind gets two each off a double arm DDT and a
piledriver. The fans sound ready to explode on Shawns comeback. Mankind is
so frustrated that he pulls his own hair out. We get a couple of chairs
thrown in but instead of using them, Mankind opens up the casket.
Shawn fights his way out of it and hits the forearm into the nipup that hes famous for. Michaels stomps away in the corner and gets two off a high
cross body. Mankind crotches Shawn on the top to slow down the comeback
before loading up a belly to back suplex to the floor. Since that would
kill Shawn though, he counters in midair into a cross body to drive Mankind through the table, sending both guys down in a heap.
Mankind sets up a chair in the ring and brings in a second one, only to
have Shawn use the chair as a springboard to superkick the second chair
into Mankinds face in a cool looking move. That would look to be the finish
but Shawn has to pull off and go after the interfering Vader, drawing the
DQ in the only bad part of the match.
Rating: A+. This isnt just the match of the night or the match of the year
or the match of In Your House so far. This match is in the running for the greatest match of all time. It tells an amazing story with Shawn having to completely change his style and get crazy to hang with Mankind. On top of
that you have the brutal physical aspect with both guys just beating the
tar out of each other for nearly twenty seven minutes. Absolutely amazing
stuff and well worth seeing if you never have before or if you havent seen
it in awhile.
Post match Shawn knocks Vader to the floor but gets blasted in the back of
the head by the urn. Sid shows up to fight Vader to the back but its
Mankind up first. He puts the Mandible Claw on Shawn and goes to put him in
the casket, but somehow the Undertaker is inside. Paul Bearer freaks out
and the crowd comes unglued as Undertaker shoves Mankind to the floor and stalks the villains up the aisle.
Shawn poses a lot to end the show.
Overall Rating: C-. The main event is the only thing worth seeing on here,
but you have to remember this is a show lasting less than two hours and the main event is about 35 minutes of that counting introductions and post
match shenanigans. Its a very good thing to have over a fourth of your show
be outstanding, but it doesnt say much for the rest of it. The dark days
are continuing for the company business wise, but the on screen stuff is
coming in just a few months.

WWE Couple Announce That They Are Having A Baby

Posted: 01 Jul 2019 08:39 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/derekstoughton/wwe-couple-announce-baby/


The power of love is an amazing thing. This weeks episode of Raw was particularly chaotic, with the LED Board being destroyed, an NXT sighting
and a major heel turn. But, a couple having a baby might be one of the
biggest of them all.

In a segment on Raw, Mike and Maria Kanellis made their return to the main roster, and were involved in a mixed tag team match with Becky Lynch and
Seth Rollins. During he match, Maria announced that she was pregnant with
Mikes baby.

Well. Things are escalating quickly in the #TagTeamMatch between
@BeckyLynchWWE & @WWERollins and @MariaLKanellis & @RealMikeBennett. #Raw pic.twitter.com/bgQ31SaC95

- WWE (@WWE) July 2, 2019



You can see a clip of their return below:

It is unknown at this time if it is a real pregnancy, or just part of a storyline.

The Kanellis family has had their ups and down recently; Mike walked away
from 205 Live last week, after a losing effort against Jack Gallagher.

Editors Opinion:

Hmmmm. My gut tells me that this is only for storyline purposes, as you
would think there would be more articles about it and positive social media references if it were real. Still, it is great to see Mike and Maria back
on the main roster, as they are quite entertaining, and I cant wait to see where this goes!
