That old talking point about Vince McMahon being willing to do anything he asks of performers holds true.
Rob Gronkowski is back in the NFL, and carrying his WWE 24/7 Title all over the place, and Vince McMahon may be even more responsible for that than you realize.
"I think Vince would do pretty ...
2020-05-10 19:30:46 +0000 UTC View PostMoxley tuned in to WrestleMania, which he said he watched both nights of in its entirety and enjoyed it. He spoke highly of the flow of the show and said that the performers worked their asses off. Moxley felt bad that the wrestlers that have worked hard all year didn't get their WrestleMania moments as planned, though....
2020-05-10 16:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostMoxley told Fightful his match with Hager was filmed because he wanted to get as much stuff in the can as he possibly could. Jon wanted to call the match a No Holds Barred match because of the connection between the term and MMA fighting, which Hager is doing these days. He noted that Hager is way stronger and faster than mos...
2020-05-09 17:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostDuring our interview this afternoon, Lio Rush claimed that at one point during his run with Bobby Lashley, he was set to become Intercontinental Champion. The switch was planned during the Finn Balor feud, but he couldn't remember why it didn't pan out.
2020-05-08 20:07:05 +0000 UTC View PostI asked Jon Moxley about his favorite agents and producers in WWE, and he noted Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble, even going as far as to say he thinks Jamie Noble is the best producer there is. Michael Hayes was another one that he says proved him wrong on many occasions where the thought he was right. Moxley mentioned tha...

2020-05-07 13:48:00 +0000 UTC View PostYou may have heard Revival mention on Talk is Jericho that their final deal offer was over the reported $750,000 number. Fightful learned earlier this year that number approached and possibly even exceeded $800,000, which the team obvious rejected

2020-05-06 17:18:22 +0000 UTC View PostDana Brooke told us in our upcoming interview that she was blown away by the idea to have the Money in the Bank ladder match at WWE HQ. She was a bit surprised she was in the match in general. Getting positive reinforcement from the locker room has encouraged her a lot more, and she spoke really highly of Natalya in par...
2020-05-06 16:13:05 +0000 UTC View PostIn case you were wondering who had the idea for Jake Hager to no sell Moxley's finisher a while back, it was Jon Moxley himself. He told me the spot was by design that way it made the DDT on the chair look more impactful. &nbs...

ECW and WCW legend Mikey Whipwreck spoke to me about his ECW and WCW days, saying that Perry Saturn called him up and helped him get into WCW. The fact that WCW wanted him seemed to surprise him, but he was willing to go because ECW was having issues with bounced checks and he was feeling beat up. He says Virgil ...

2020-05-01 12:08:59 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a lot more than met the eye with the Revival leaving WWE. Originally Scott Dawson's deal was set to expire in April, and Dash's was up in June. However, they were going to add significant time to Dawson's (now Harwood) contract that extended him out beyond where Wilder (now Wheeler) was. WWE gave The Revival a...

I had a great talk with Justin Credible about leaving WWF and joining ECW. Credible was spinning his wheels as Aldo Montoya and not going much of anywhere. Credible knew the Aldo Montoya gimmick sucked and he could contribute much more. He had the chance to join WCW because he knew Scott Hall and Kevin Nash there...

2020-04-29 19:39:53 +0000 UTC View PostI also spoke to Andrade for an interview a while back that probably won't see the light of day as there were some big language barrier issues. I have a lot of respect for him coming out and doing a full media row of dozens of interviews in a second language that he's working to learn. It's no surprise that Charlotte has been ...
2020-04-29 18:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe word of Cain Velasquez's release came this week, and there are other names that have been cut that WWE didn't publicly announce. Everyone we've talked to at the WWE Performance Center and in WWE said Velasquez was very nice and respectful when he was around. His deal was scheduled to go into the fall of 2022.
