Though Ric Flair’s Last Match isn’t even one week old, the match continues to garner headlines for just how bizarre the entire ordeal was and how, in a weird twist of fate, the pre-show’s Bunkhouse Battle Royal secured its winner, Mance Warner, a shot at the AEW Interim Championship versus Jon Moxley on Rampage (read […]

If you spent your Sunday night watching Ric Flair’s Last Match, you certainly heard the term “celebrities” thrown around by Tony Schiavone, David Crockett, and company about a dozen times, and for good reason – people really love Ric Flair. The show, booked by Conrad Thompson and assisted by seemingly every major indie promotor in […]

When WWE made the decision to release William Regal from his contract due to “budget cuts,” it felt like a mistake. While he hadn’t been an in-ring performer in, oh, almost a decade, being “retired” by his former pupal, Claudio “Don’t-call-him-Cesaro” Castagnoli, Regal was a fixture of NXT as an in-universe authority figure and a […]

After being rumored to wrestle everyone from A.J. Styles to Chris Jericho, Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, and even Ricky Morton – which actually almost happened – Ric Flair‘s final opponents, plural, have officially been announced for his Final Match: Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal. That’s… a choice. Now granted, Flair won’t be alone in his […]

Though he wasn’t allowed to wrestle on Forbidden Door due to inter-promotional disagreements between CMLL, AAA, and NJPW, Andrade El Idolo made his presence known in AEW during the month of June, going 2-0 in singles competition in addition to re-forming La Faccion Ingobernable alongside former Ring of Honor Champion Rush. And yet, after securing […]

In case you haven’t heard, AEW‘s newest stable, La Faccion Ingobernable is on a bit of a roll. Since the arrival of Rush in the promotion, the duo are undefeated in singles action, with Andrade picking up a fantastic win over Rey Fenix and the man formerly known as “Toro Blanco” going 1-0 with a […]

As you may or may not know, Andrade El Idolo and Rush – plus the Lucha Brothers – are not allowed to wrestle at AEW’s Forbidden Door due to the relationship between CMLL and New Japan Pro Wrestling. That’s the bad news, especially since Andrade already disclosed what could have been a very interesting angle […]

When news broke that Andrade El Idolo, Rush, and the Lucha Brothers were unable to perform at AEW‘s Forbidden Door due to tensions between AAA and NJPW, it put a minor damper on what is expected to be one of the most entertaining cross-promotional events, nay, Pay-Per-Views of the year. Gone were the Los Ingobernables […]

While AEW and NJPW’s joint event Forbidden Door has already announced and teased a multitude of dream matches, it would appear that fans will have to take at least a couple of names off of their fantasy bookings. After an early morning tweet from Andrade El Idolo, seemingly sarcastically thanking Lucha promotions CMLL and AAA […]

If you’re mostly just a fan of mainstream American professional wrestling, you probably haven’t heard of AEW‘s newest addition, Rush.
