LA Knight might just be the hottest performer in WWE right now.

After 34 years in the business, Rey Mysterio knows when a young performer, especially a young luchador, has something special.

Though Rey Mysterio has some pretty legendary feuds and friendships over his three-decade-plus career in the squared circle, the one that stands above the rest belongs to Eddie Guerrero, the do-it-all técnico who passed away in 2005.

Chris Jericho is a man very familiar with the concept of Mount Rushmores.

Though Rey Mysterio may be most widely regarded for his time in WWE, as he is a certified Hall of Famer who celebrated 20 years in the promotion earlier this year, it’s easy to forget that the 5-foot-4 luchador had a pretty prolific career in the ring before landing in The Fed and even had […]

When WWE threw out the former general manager system that featured Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff overseeing RAW and SmackDown – sure, technically, they were called “executive directors,” but same difference – Adam Pearce was left with the unenviable position of having to helm both brands, which needless to say, made for some Kayfabe strangeness. […]

After making the vague announcement that Sting would be addressing the AEW audience on Dynamite, fans waited with bated breath to see what the 63-year-old had to say.

After watching his tag team win streak come to an end alongside Grayson Waller in the first and only successful Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship defense of Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso’s run with the straps, you’d think Austin Theory would be feeling pretty down in the dumps.

When AEW and WWE ran Dynamite and NXT head-on on October 10th, it rekindled a war between the two promotions that has been ever present since the challenger brand launched on television in 2019 but has been in a bit of a lull since Shawn Michaels’ show was moved to Tuesday nights. … or did […]

When Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Shawn Michaels, and Paul “Triple H” Levesque all hugged in the center of the ring following the former two’s final match, at least at the time, in WWE, in an event now known as the “Curtain Call,” it played a pretty big part in killing the concept of Kayfabe forever.
