The world of professional wrestling has seen different names make a huge impact in their respective eras. This has led to significant growth of the business and made those superstars a household name in the years to come.

Two superstars who were cornerstones in one particular era were former Evolution members, Randy Orton and Dave Bautista. The duo were identified as top prospects and were placed under the mentorship of Triple H and Ric Flair in their early days.

This led to their massive success and becoming some of the biggest names in WWE. However, there was one particular instance where a WWE legend yelled at Randy Orton right after breaking his foot in a match. This became the key focal point in Batista’s own book.

John Cena and The Undertaker have faced each other only a few times in the past, and this was a massive disappointment for fans. For years, they had been considered a dream match, and it only happened when The Undertaker was almost nearing his retirement year, and Cena was no longer a regular on the show.

When WWE decided it was time to give the audience the WrestleMania match they wanted, it did not turn out the way they expected. Even The Undertaker was baffled and surprised with how their fight went.

WWE has always been about unearthing new talents, and Nxt has been doing a phenomenal job of producing a barrage of superstars. WWE superstar Randy Orton has been guiding the CW Debut for Nxt. While he pulled off the stunts, Myles Borne caught his eye, and he helped him perfect his Legend Killer pose.

Not only did Myles Borne put up the legend-killer pose, but he also mimicked Randy Orton in his in-ring moves, including the Ddt and body slams. His charisma has been heavily praised by the internet, and the netizens have gone quite a significant mile to even label him as the ‘son of Randy Orton’. Like the way Myles Borne has been doing the rounds, similarly, WWE has unveiled Lfg, a show for the upcoming superstars.

The wrestling industry is known to be a highly competitive field, where numerous athletes fight their way to the limited top spots. Since everyone wants to earn their right to be in the limelight, tensions often fill the air as egos clash, leading to conflicts. However, the wrestling industry thrives on the concept of mutual respect.

This belief was evident as WWE Legend, The Undertaker, did not tolerate any disrespect as a budding talent in WWE’s upcoming reality show, Legends & Future Greats (Lfg), decided to disrespect a veteran of the business. The new video promo features a grim ending for the talent as the Deadman gives a teaser on what happens when one becomes full of himself, reminding why they are legends of the field.

WWE’s new competition series officially has a premiere date at A&e.

“WWE Lfg,” short for “Legends & Future Greats,” will launch on Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. Et. on A&e. It will be followed by the debut of “WWE’s Greatest Moments” at 9:30 p.m. and the return of “WWE Rivals” at 10:30.

As the calendar flipped over to bring in 2025, it signified an important point in wrestling history. John Cena, perhaps the most decorated WWE performer ever, will have his farewell tour this year. As he makes his final laps in the squared circle, many have been reflecting on his amazing career. Of course, the people who worked with Cena directly during his wrestling days have the best perspective and anecdotes to share.

In a recent radio show, current Tna star and host of Busted Open Radio, Nic Nemeth, reflected with his co-host Bully Ray on working with the Cenation Leader. In particular, he pointed to an interaction regarding Cena turning heel or changing his character, a long-standing topic of debate among fans. During an episode of Busted Open Radio, the former Dolph Ziggler talked about working closely with The Doctor of Thuganomics, and some of the creative decisions that were being made at the time.

Ric Flair joins today’s episode of Busted Open on SiriusXM Fight Nation (Ch. 156) and reveals what he wants to see during Charlotte Flair’s return to WWE, including her breaking or tying the World Championship record of 16 world titles he shares with John Cena.

Ric Flair Says John Cena ‘Doesn’t Give a S**t’ About Record

“John Cena doesn’t want to break the record, he doesn’t give a s**t about that,” Ric Flair says. John is in a different world now. Wrestling will always be his passion, but he doesn’t care about beating (the record). I still think the biggest thing in the business, when it happens, it’ll be a real game changer, just like she is in real life, is her breaking the title record or even tying it. I...

WWE and A&e are expanding their programming partnership with the addition of two new shows in addition to new episodes of “WWE Rivals.”

Each week, the coaches will mentor the talent in weekly matches. Levesque and Michaels executive produce the series along with Lee Fitting, Ben Houser, and Jeremy Borash.

A&e & WWE are strengthening their partnership with two new series and a new season of hit docuseries WWE Rivals.

A&e and WWE will premiere WWE Lfg (Legends & Future Greats), a new competition series that features in-ring matches along with a behind-the-scenes look at rising talent vying for a coveted WWE contract.

WWE and A&e also have ordered WWE’s Greatest Moments, a series that looks back at iconic events that have shaped WWE history. And a fifth season of WWE Rivals will return this winter on A&e.

“Literally filled with blood, sweat, and tears, there’s never been a series that combines in-ring action, behind-the-scenes reality, high-stakes drama, and some of WWE’s greatest icons all in one package. From total unknowns to legends, ‘Lfg’ will give viewers a raw, ground-up, 360-degree view of what it truly takes to make it in the WWE,” said Rob Sharenow, President of Programming,...

A&e is deepening its partnership with the WWE — including adding an in-ring competition to its roster of programming.

The cable network has picked up a series called WWE Lfg, which will feature would-be pro wrestlers vying for a WWE contract while receiving training and coaching from in-ring legends Paul “Triple H” Levesque, the Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and others. (The “Lfg” in the title stands for “Legends & Future Greats,” A&e says.)

Along with the competition series, A&e has also ordered a second new series, WWE’s Greatest Moments — which, true to its name, will break down iconic matches and events in the company’s history — and a fifth season of its docuseries WWE Rivals.

A lot of Ecw fans may have gotten dj vu while watching Roman Reigns' phone call to Paul Heyman on last Friday's episode of WWE SmackDown. The ongoing Bloodline story arc reached its most interesting development, when Reigns tried to call his all-knowing advocate and Wiseman, only to learn the number is disconnected.

As Bubba "Bully" Ray Dudley expressed on Busted Open Radio, and in an accompanying X post, Roman Reigns' phone call to Paul Heyman on WWE SmackDown echoes another storyline from Paul Heyman's extreme alma mater, Ecw, in a story involving Tommy Dreamer and Terry Funk. Dreamer would corroborate Bully's sentiment in an X post of his own, adding that while WWE's storyline heads into Survivor Series: WarGames, Dreamer's kindred storyline was heading into Ecw November to Remember 1996.

Dissecting both storylines for their similarities and differences highlights the importance of bringing wrestling's past into the present,...

2024 has been an incredible year for professional wrestling, especially in the landscape of the WWE. Thanks to an announcement about a Netflix deal, a truly electrifying (and often hilarious) Rock return, and a scattered international presence, many wrestling fans will admit that WWE is great again. Most importantly, it's the matches which keep bringing fans back for more.

It's no secret that the actual in-ring wrestling comes secondary to storytelling, specifically in the sports entertainment environment of the WWE. The most important part of wrestling isn't always wrestling. Usually, it's the promos in WWE, or soap opera-esque storytelling on display. However, 2024 is a rare year where the wrestling has been just as compelling as the stories across the roster. Thankfully, WWE has been gracious enough to upload many of the year's best matches for free on YouTube.

Braun Strowman vs. Bronson Reed - Last Monster Standing Monday Night Raw, September...

Much of wrestling history reflects on how WCW was WWE's biggest competitor of the 90s, but Ecw can't be left out of that conversation. While Ecw wasn't on course to beat WWE in the ratings for 83 weeks like Eric Bischoff, Extreme Championship Wrestling did largely inspire many of the sensibilities of modern wrestling.

Before WWE quickly introduced inappropriate moments into the Attitude Era that they couldn't get away with today, Paul Heyman was booking even more extreme angles for Ecw. Before WCW had a hardcore division, Ecw was hardcore. Even to this day, Ecw leaves a mark on current wrestling, as WWE's Nxt brand headed to the classic 2300 Ecw arena in Philadelphia, showing that the legacy of Extreme is still alive in WWE. When looking at some of Ecw's most extreme moments, it's easy to see why wrestling fans find the promotion so unforgettable.

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt, right here on Nerdly. Let’s get straight into it and see what went down in this Ecw-themed episode that was filmed at the legendary 2300 Arena…

Match #1: Hardcore Match – Jaida Parker def. Lola Vice The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Jaida Parker sent a message to all of Nxt by going to the extreme against Lola Vice in a Hardcore Match. The two Superstars launched an all-out assault on each other with a host of weapons, culminating in Parker nailing a Teardrop off a ladder through another ladder, but it wasn’t enough to put Vice away. Vice rallied and smashed a trashcan onto Parker, beating her with precision strikes as well as a kendo stick before hitting a hip attack. The former Mma star locked in a tight guillotine, but Parker nailed her with a brick before hitting a...

It is best known for being WWE's third brand, but tonight, Nxt paid tribute to Ecw as they took over the famous 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pa. The night was filled with cameos from Ecw staples like The Dudley Boyz, Dawn Marie, and Rhyno, and was opened by Nxt's first hardcore match between Jaida Parker and Lola Vice. Wes Lee would regret assaulting Rob Van Dam with a steel chair before his match with Je'von Evans, as Rvd then headed to ringside to distract Lee and enable Evans to get the win.

Nxt Women's Champion Roxanne Perez was pinned by Zaria, as the Australian shone in a 10-woman tag match between Giulia, Jordynne Grace, Kelani Jordan, Stephanie Vaquer & Zaria and Cora Jade, Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx and Perez. Ridge Holland and Ethan Page defeated Trick Williams and Bubba Ray Dudley. Old-school Ecw talent Nunzio challenged Tony D'Angelo in...

Warning: Spoilers for the September 30, 2024 episode of Monday Night Raw!Despite the obvious appeal of seeing two 350-pounds monsters destroy each other and the arena in a Last Monster Standing match, one WWE Hall of Famer expressed disappointment in Raw's latest main event. Heading into the September 30th episode of Monday Night Raw, no storyline had become hotter than that between Braun Strowman and "Big" Bronson Reed. Rightfully so, their main event in a Last Monster Standing match was treated as one of the most eagerly anticipated TV wrestling contests in recent memory.

As heard in a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray, known to WWE audiences as Bubba Ray Dudley - inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a part of the Dudley Boyz, alongside D-Von - expressed the thought that the Last Monster Standing "fell a little short" of expectations. Bully Ray is not alone in his stance,...

WWE 2K24's Dlc disappoints fans with non-wrestler inclusions, causing backlash. The Pat McAfee Pack has received criticism for its almost entirely non-wrestler roster, delayed release, and PS5 download issues. WWE 2K25's Dlc should focus on building a diverse roster of actual wrestlers to avoid controversy and meet fan expectations.

No one is happy with the state of WWE 2K24 Dlc. This year's installment in the annual wrestling video game franchise has followed in its prdecessors' footsteps by putting out multiple Dlc releases, each containing a handful of new playable wrestlers, on a rough monthly schedule since launch.

Player responses to WWE 2K's Dlc releases tend to be mixed. Some players reject the idea of paying extra for a smattering of new wrestlers out of hand. Ultimately, the overall reception depends on how many popular wrestlers are in each pack - if a couple of big-name Nxt faces grace the cover,...

John Cena’s tenure in WWE stands as one of the most illustrious in the sport’s history, cementing his position as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, if not the greatest. Widely regarded as one of WWE’s biggest icons, Cena’s legacy can’t really be touched by anyone and it’s not really hard to see why either. With that said, there is a massive decision that the Leader of Cenation made which many fans absolutely do not agree with one bit and it changed the course of WWE for good.

From his memorable WWE Championship triumph against Jbl at WrestleMania 21 in 2005 to his legendary clashes with The Rock at WrestleMania, Cena’s career is packed with iconic moments and matches that firmly establish him as a future Hall of Famer.

The Scottish Warrior finally got to bask in the sun by winning a world title in front of the WWE Universe. With Cm Punk providing guest commentary and Drew McIntyre and World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins receiving special entrances, the match had an air of excitement and tension unmatched. McIntyre almost stunned everyone into silence as he clattered The Visionary with a Claymore just seconds into the match, but Rollins kicked out.

WWE is no new to long-term storytelling, and it seems the seeds for the next big rivalry have already been sown on Night One of WrestleMania 40. While initially it was supposed to be The Rock vs Roman Reigns, following the fans’ backlash, who were adamant about seeing Cody Rhodes finish his story, it was eventually scrapped.

With the Bloodline now coming on top on Night One, resulting in a Bloodline Rules match for the main event of Night Two, the American Nightmare might be in for a rough time tonight. However, following Reigns’ mistakes in the tag-team match against Rhodes and Seth Rollins, fans believe a betrayal from the Brahma Bull is likely.

The WWE WrestleMania is one of the biggest events in the world of professional wrestling. The popularity of the event has only grown over the years, as have the stakes.

WrestleMania will hit a milestone this year, as it is in its 40th edition. The previous 39 editions of the event have impressed, and a few moments are still talked about to this day, given just how high the shock value was. Here are 5 WrestleMania moments that made WWE fans lose their minds.

Cody Rhodes has had a strenuous relationship with the WWE. In 2016, the wrestler decided to walk away from the WWE, and he established the Aew as a rival. However, after his stint in the Aew, Rhodes eventually made his way back to WWE in 2022, as Seth Rollins’ mystery opponent in WrestleMania 38.

Bully Ray/Bubba Ray Dudley made big bucks in his professional wrestling career, which has spanned Ecw, WWE, Tna, and WCW, among other promotions. Now in Ring of Honor, his money counting machine hasn’t slowed down, he told us. Ray (real name Mark LoMonaco), like RoH Supercard of Honor headliner Cody (do not call him “Cody Rhodes”) before him, assured us that there is “plenty of money to be made” in independent wrestling — a term that these days basically means any league that isn’t WWE. While no one in these smaller companies likes the “indie” moniker, they appreciate that the money is...

Against all odds, the Terminator franchise is being kept alive thanks to producer James Cameron. The crippled sci-fi film series now has a home at 20th Century Fox, and Cameron is hoping to spark the beginning of a new Terminator trilogy, complete with original stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton reprising their roles as the […]

It’s a cliché and a half to say that everything can change during The Voice’s Battles. In fact, if Carson Daly said it, I’m sure I’d roll my eyes. But it’s also, weirdly, true. Last season, I went into the Battles backing Felicia Temple and came out in awe of (eventual winner) Chris Blue. Going into Season 13’s Battles, my money was on… well, you know. However, I wouldn’t be in the slightest surprised if, by the time they were over, I was rooting for a different singer. Did Monday’s kickoff of the Battles,...

Game Of Thrones has one of the biggest casts on television – twenty-nine people are credited as regulars across season six alone – and doesn’t like to waste a good character, with many of even the most minor characters appearing at least twice. However, every now and again the show produces a one-hit wonder, a character who appears in just one episode of the series but who makes a lasting impression and continues to have an impact on the remaining characters as they move on. So here, we celebrate the best of these single chart-stoppers and the actors who play them.

To qualify for this list,...

[[tmz:video id="0_cb0kmupm"]] Shane McMahon vs. Stipe Miocic??  Maybe ...  Wrestling legends Dreamer and Bully Ray Dudley tell TMZ Sports ... their friend Shane is a legit athlete and would be seriously competitive in the Ufc.  The hosts of "House of Hardcore" say Shane is a talented wrestler and fearless -- two qualities they believe would translate very well into the Octagon.  Shane reportedly weighs 235 -- so he would likely fight as a heavyweight against guys like Stipe, Cain Velasquez and Mark Hunt.

[[tmz:video id="0_g8fvjzua"]] And now: "When 3 Am Phone Calls Go Wrong" ... starring ex-WWE superstar Bubba Ray Dudley!  Here's the deal ... we asked Bubba Ray for his best Vince McMahon story (everyone's got one) and the "Busted Open" radio co-host came through strong.  It involved a 3 Am phone call to the CEO while in a car with Shane McMahon, Tommy Dreamer and Spike Dudley ... and ended with Spike asking Vince if he had any "kind buds." Whoops!  Read...

Ian McShane is throwing some major shade at Game of Thrones fans.

**Spoiler alert: If you’re not caught up with the latest season, stop reading here.**

The British actor appeared on the HBO series last year, making his debut as Brother Ray in a very crucial episode.

During that episode it was revealed that The Hound, played by Rory McCann, was still alive. But, prior to the episode airing, McShane shared a few too many details about his role, making many Thrones fans extremely upset.

"Can you believe it? 'Oh, you're giving it away.' Firstly, you love it," the 74-year-old actor told Empire magazine in an interview published in its April 2017 issue. "Secondly, you'll have forgotten by the time it comes out...and what am I giving away? A character beloved by everybody returns. Get a f**king life."

Ian McShane? More like Ian McShade! The British star appeared on Game of Thrones for one lousy (okay, it was pretty good, but regardless) episode and not only does he appear to not respect the fans, he also seems to reckon he can tell them what to do. And what do we say to the Lord of Shade? "Not today!" McShane made his debut as Brother Ray on HBO's cult fantasy series last summer. Months earlier, he had angered many viewers who hate spoilers when he revealed in interviews what they felt was too much info about his role and the plot line and also teased the return of a character. "Can you believe it? 'Oh, you're...
