Suggestions for Select!

What do you all want to see more of? Less of? Do you like the news tidbit posting method better than the less frequent, but more packed ones? 

I WANNA KNOW

Sneak Peek: List & Ya Boy #83 Intro Video

An advanced preview of this week's intro and theme!

Matt Riddle Update

I've obviously been asked a lot about the Matt Riddle situation. Flat out, I'll say that Matt Riddle has not answered any inquiries about him leaving WWN for WWE, but several people I talk to regularly within WWE told me barring some horrible unforeseen controversy, he'll be there in Brooklyn.

I spoke with Ri...

Raw & SD Notes!

A couple of the week's top matches were singles affairs, ironically put together (in part) by tag team specialists.

Fightful.com learned several producers who were assigned particular matches on the show, as revealed on our live post-show podcast, and 2018-07-25 05:31:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Smackdown Live spoilers for 7/24!

WWE announced a major all-women's show on Monday Night Raw, and promised to follow up with another big one on Smackdown Live Tuesday in the form of AJ Styles' challenger, in addition to the tag team title contender tournament kicking off.

Fightful.com has learned of several planned matches and backstage segments f...

Abyss-Impact

Was just told that former World Champion Abyss has re-signed with Impact Wrestling. He's taken a much more advanced role backstage in recent years. I'm looking to speak to him this week.

Jeff Jarrett-Shane Helms

Jeff Jarrett and Shane Helms appeared together on a show in the UK recently, and killed off their heat that started about a year ago. Helms was a really liked, respected agent in TNA when Jeff Jarrett came in, and many believe that he was fired due to the "shrapnel heat" that he received because of his friendship with t...

Elias

 I spoke to those within WWE about Elias' album, which dropped earlier this week. WWE was more concerned with Elias charting, and subsequently touting that and using it on social media and their TV show than they were about it really making a lot of money, as the EP sold for under $3. Elias is well regarded in WWE for his c...

WWE RAW SPOILERS

WWE Monday Night Raw for July 23 promised a "huge announcement" from Stephanie McMahon, a top contender's match between two big stars, and a match between a couple of international stars.

FightfulWrestling.com and Fightful.com have learned many of the plans set for tonight's episode of WWE Raw. You can see some of...

Tommy Dreamer

House of Hardcore owner Tommy Dreamer revealed to me this week that WWE offered him "a lot of money" in order to shut down his promotion back when he was in the program with the Wyatts, Rhyno, and the Dudley Boyz. He said that he wouldn't sign a contract with them then, and certainly won't with Impact Wrestling, Lucha U...

Austin Aries

Austin Aries was made available ahead of his Impact Heavyweight Championship match at Slammiversary. I asked him about differences in regime, as he's been around for three pretty key ones during his times with Impact. He said that admittedly politics have caused him to not see eye-to-eye with Impact/TNA in the past, but...

Johnny Impact

I spoke to Johnny Impact today, who talked about his Boone the Bounty Hunter financing. He sold his house to finance the film and says he's almost gotten back all of the money he put in, and the trajectory that the film is on looks to gain him a pretty positive return, although it takes a long time to get your money from working...

Pentagon-AAA-Mexico News

Pentagon tells us that he remains completely independent in Mexico and globally, but does have "obligations" with Impact and a contract with Lucha Underground. He said that AAA and himself recently got together and think that he can help expand AAA globally. He would also go as far to call CMLL the "cathedral" of pro wrestling, ...
