... 2019-06-05 20:42:38 +0000 UTC View PostI mentioned earlier this week that I was interviewing Heather Hardy and Lyoto Machida. I actually spoke to both Bellator stars about their links to pro wrestling.
Hardy told me she was recruited by WWE Hall of Famer Johnny Rodz early on to get into pro wrestling, but she had too much of an appetite for fighting and comp...

2019-06-05 15:05:44 +0000 UTC View PostA particularly interesting note for this week -- Renee Young, Alexa Bliss and Natalya were all said to be on the flight to Saudi Arabia this morning. We're told WWE chartered a flight out of San Antonio and it was a major upgrade from the cramped conditions last go around
2019-06-05 13:58:15 +0000 UTC View PostI spoke to Triple H last week about some NXT and WWE talent stepping out and producing their own content. Triple H told me that he loved them doing it, and they have a team who monitors all that public social activity. In the days following, we're told that NXT actually already started cracking down a little bit on that, with...

We did a poll to determine what song you wanted us to perform next once we hit 200 subscribers on Fightful Select. The winner was Billy Gunn's infamous "Assman" theme, and so now JV and SRS are going to deliver. The final product is currently in post-production but here's a short behind-the-scenes teaser.

2019-06-01 21:13:48 +0000 UTC View PostBellator Champion Darrion Caldwell tells me he'd be interested in a pro wrestling run in the future, but was never recruited by WWE. He pointed to his athleticism as a motivating factor, but didn't seem to be too hip to modern day pro wrestling.
To provide a little bit of clarity on the Chris Jericho-Starrcast situation, here's what I know so far.
Starrcast knew about a month out that meet & greets wouldn't be happening with Chris Jericho, and those close to the convention say that they advised people of such. Jericho had even asked to move the time for his...

2019-05-30 21:03:42 +0000 UTC View PostSince the Jon Moxley-Talk is Jericho fallout, we've had several WWE superstars reach out to Fightful to echo those sentiments. One wrestler flat out told us if things don't change, they'll be leaving when their contracts come due. Another told us that Moxley's words hold more weight than CM Punk's because of the way he went a...
