blank

A former WWE star is set for her first singles match in 870 days.

Scarlett Bordeaux left WWE in August this year, along with her husband, Karrion Kross. Both stars have since lit up the independent wrestling world with multiple appearances across several promotions. While Kross has already returned to the ring, Bordeaux is still waiting to make her singles return. The star is now set for her return to the ring after 870 days.

Former WWE Star Scarlett Bordeaux Will Be In Action At HOG

Scarlett Bordeaux‘s last singles match came at a WWE live event on June 29, 2023, 870 days ago, against Lyra Valkyria. Bordeaux ended up on the losing side. The star has since been featured in mixed action only, but it’s time she can showcase the world her insane abilities.

The former WWE star will finally be in action at House Of Glory Superclash on November 15. The event’s poster officially states that she will be in action and has not been announced for a tag match. It can safely be assumed that she will be in singles action as fans will look to cheer her on.

The event will take place at the Suffolk Credit Union Arena in Brentwood, New York.

Wrestlers with the Longest Combined Days as WWE Champion

The WWE Championship, known as the Undisputed WWE Championship since April 2024, is a menâ€s professional wrestling world heavyweight title promoted by WWE and is currently defended on the SmackDown brand. It is one of two main roster menâ€s world championships, alongside the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw. Cody Rhodes is the current champion in his second reign, having won the title from John Cena in a Street Fight match on the main event of Night 2 of SummerSlam on August 3, 2025.

As of October 13, 2025, the championship has had 149 recognized reigns among 55 champions, with 11 recognized vacancies. Buddy Rogers was the first-ever WWE champion in the company’s history, and was awarded the title in 1963. The longest single reign belongs to Bruno Sammartino at 2,803 days, who also holds the record for the longest combined reign at 4,040 days. John Cena has the most reigns at 14.

Ten men have held the championship for a continuous year or longer: Bruno Sammartino (twice), Pedro Morales, Bob Backlund, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, John Cena, CM Punk, AJ Styles, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes. Of these, five wrestlers have held it for over 1,000 days: Bruno Sammartino (twice), Pedro Morales, Bob Backlund, Roman Reigns, and Hulk Hogan.

WWE Championship: Wrestlers with the Longest Combined Days as WWE Champion

Bruno Sammartino holds the record for the longest WWE Championship reign in history. His first reign began in May 1963 and lasted an incredible 2,803 days, over seven and a half years, a feat considered nearly impossible to surpass. He later added a second reign of 1,237 days. Bob Backlund followed with a reign of 2,135 days during the early 1980s. Hulk Hogan became the face of professional wrestling during the first WrestleMania era, beginning his illustrious four-year reign of the WWE Championship in 1984.

Roman Reigns became WWE’s first 1,000-day world champion in 35 years and held the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship for 1,316 days in the modern era. Pedro Morales held the WWF Championship for almost three years in the 1970s as one of the most popular babyfaces of his era.

Gunther, with a total of 1,536 days as a champion, held the NXT UK Championship for 870 days and the Intercontinental Championship for 666 days. Alba Fyre, also known as Kay Lee Ray, held the NXT UK Women’s Championship for 649 days, one of the longest championship reigns in WWE women’s history.

Asuka held the NXT Women’s Championship for 522 days and continued her unbeaten streak in both NXT and the main roster. Brock Lesnarâ€s 503-day reign as WWE Universal Champion from 2017 to 2018 featured matches against Goldberg, Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman, and Roman Reigns.

Former WWE Star Returning For First Match In 1,354 Days

blank

A former WWE Superstar will return to the company for their first match in four years.

Ever since WWE (through NXT) partnered with TNA, a lot of names from the Nashville-based promotion have made their way back to the sports entertainment giant for a couple of matches. Best examples are The Hardys (Matt and Jeff Hardy), Mustafa Ali, Santino Marella, Mara Sade (fka Jakara Jackson), and The Iinspiration’s Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee, who were also known as The Iiconics. This week, a women’s battle royal will take place to determine the number one contender for Jacy Jayne’s NXT Women’s Championship. The match occurred after an agreement between NXT General Manager Ava and Marella, the TNA’s Director of Authority, following the NXT vs. TNA ShowDown last week.

Advertised participants will include NXT’s Jordynne Grace, Izzi Dame, Jaida Parker, Tatum Paxley, Lash Legend, Lola Vice, Karmen Petrovic, Sol Ruca, Thea Hail, Arianna Grace, and Wren Sinclair. Representing TNA are Sade, Lee, McKay, TNA Knockouts World Champion Kelani Jordan, Xia Brookside, Heather by Elegance, Kendal Grey, Lei Ying Lee, and Victoria Crawford (fka Alicia Fox).

In the process, this will be Crawford’s first WWE match since appearing at the Royal Rumble back on January 29, 2022. The premium live event happened to be her last with the company prior to the upcoming NXT women’s battle royal tomorrow.

The 39-year-old had a 17-year career (from 2006 to 2023) with the Stamford-based promotion. She was a former Divas Champion and a 24/7 Champion as well.

Matt Cardona Will Also Have His First WWE Match in Years on NXT

After apologizing to NXT General Manager Ava, which she rejected, former WWE star Matt Cardona initially expressed his desire to be part of Team TNA.

Then, Josh Briggs went to the general manager’s office, and Cardona quickly hid as the two have bad blood with each other currently. The 32-year-old requested that he wrestle the former Zack Ryder, who cost him on September 30th in his Team NXT qualifying match against Myles Borne.

Ava made the match official and allowed Cardona to come out of hiding. The latter’s upcoming scuffle with Briggs will be his first WWE match since March 9, 2020, when he lost to Bobby Lashley on RAW

Former WWE Star Makes Huge Return; Has First Singles Match In 291 Days

blank

291 days later, a former WWE star returned to singles action.

There have been many unique and interesting characters who wrestled in both WCW and WWE throughout the years, among them being Shannon Moore. The 46-year-old competed in WCW from 1999 to 2001, then joined WWF after purchasing World Championship Wrestling.

While at the Stamford-based promotion, he was best known for being “Matt Hardy’s Follower,” being involved in the Cruiserweight Championship scene, and working with the likes of Brock Lesnar, Big Show, JBL, and more. He was released in 2005 but returned in 2006, where he competed in the ECW brand and had an unexpected partnership with Jimmy Wang Yang. However, that was again cut short in 2008.

The former WWE star also wrestled in TNA from 2010 to 2012. After spending time in Total Nonstop Action, he began wrestling in the independent scene, where he remains to this day. Shannon Moore’s recent matches in the indies are for tag team clashes or for multiple people. However, that has since changed.

In a recent Ring of Honor Taping on October 2 at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland, Florida, fans in attendance shared that Shannon Moore was present to wrestle Blake Christian. However, the former WWE star was defeated.

The recent Ring of Honor match marked his first singles match since December 25, 2024, against Elijah at that year’s ALW Reindeer Games at the Space Coast Convention Center in Cocoa, Florida. For this match, it was the former superstar who won.

Shannon Moore Had To Change His WWE Gimmick As It Was Close To CM Punk’s

One of the gimmicks Shannon Moore possessed was his “Punk” look, which even gained him the moniker of Prince of Punk, among many others. However, he wasn’t able to fully express this when he returned in 2006 due to CM Punk’s similar character.

While on Talk is Jericho at the beginning of this year, Shannon Moore shared that after returning to WWE, the company wanted him to work with CM Punk, which he did in ECW. However, whenever Punk was brought in, they had to “squash” his punk character, even if he had been doing it for around six or seven months prior.

Despite this, Shannon Moore thinks the Stamford-based promotion made the right call in picking the current superstar to play the character, as he has made them millions already, and possibly even more.

After 3 days of Ryder Cup hell, Rory McIlroy’s emotions poured out

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — After an out-of-control Saturday at the 45th Ryder Cup — when jingoistic, Mich Ultra-fueled tryhards and even the event’s official 1st-tee emcee turned Rory McIlroy and other members of the European team into their personal punching bags — the vibe felt kinder and gentler in the early-going of Sunday’s singles matches.

Part of that might have been due to the energy-zapping heat on a warm, mostly still afternoon at Bethpage Black when temperatures crept into the 80s, but most of it was due to the stunning seven-point lead Europe had opened up in foursomes and four-ball play, which had had the same effect on this event that a pinprick would on a balloon.

Still, the fat lady wasn’t singing just yet, even if supporters of the blue-and-gold were. On Sunday, McIlroy landed in the marquee bout, in the fourth of 12 singles matches against Scottie Scheffler. World No. 1 (that would be Scheffler) vs. world No. 2. Four majors vs. five. Future Hall of Famer vs. Future Hall of Famer. Dream stuff, even against the backdrop of what was shaping up to be a European rout. Any fans who needed help getting amped on the 1st tee (most didn’t) were aided by The Killers’ heart-pumping anthem “Mr. Brightside,” which boomed through speakers as McIlroy and Scheffler readied to hit their opening blasts.

McIlroy took the early lead with a birdie at the 2nd and was still 1-up after the players hit their tee balls at the par-4 4th. As McIlroy exited the tee box, European fans flanking the right rope line began regaling him with the familiar melody of The Cranberries’ “Zombie,” but with lyrics tailored to McIlroy. “He’s in your heaaaad / He’s in your heaaad / Roaaar-uh-ee, roaaar-uh-ee…”

When the song — a popular one on property this week — petered out, one of the revelers yelled, “Rory, we have your back!”

On the other side of the fairway, inside the rope line, McIlroy’s manager, Sean O’Flaherty, was walking with a couple of acquaintances.

One of them with an Irish accent jokingly said, “Did you pay them to say that, Sean?”

O’Flaherty laughed and said, “Ah, it’s brilliant.”

THE EXCHANGE SPOKE TOthe deeply taxing week McIlroy had here at Bethpage Black. Ryder Cups are never easy on the road team — and especially on road teams’ stars — but the amount of abuse McIlroy endured wasn’t just regrettable, it was flat-out repulsive. “F— you, Rory!” was a common jab. Other fans took shots at his major heartbreaks, his height and even his wife; Shane Lowry said the vitriol Erica McIlroy heard was “astonishing.”

McIlroy ignored many of the barbs but not all of them, sometimes glaring at hecklers, telling them to shut up or having them ejected from the property, as he did with one offender on the 10th hole Sunday. “This should not be what is acceptable in the Ryder Cup,” McIlroy said Sunday evening. “We will be making sure to say to our fans in Ireland in 2027 that what happened here this week is not acceptable. I think if I was an American, I would be annoyed that people — I didn’t hear a lot of shouts for Scottie today, but I heard a lot of shouts against me.”

Every match drew a crowd Sunday, but the Mcllroy-Scheffler clash was the main event. Following the action from inside the ropes were a tournament-inside-a-tournament swarm of team representatives, players’ family members, reporters and even a couple celebrities in SNL cast members Colin Jost and Marcello Hernández, who earlier in the week had served as part of NBC’s TV coverage; comedian Nate Bartagze also made a brief cameo. On the 6th hole, Jost and European captain Luke Donald’s wife Diane discussed Justin Rose’s awe-inspiring play in his Saturday four-ball match. “You just never know who’s going to get hot,” said Diane, who’s seen her husband captain two Ryder Cup teams and play on four more.

As the match progressed, so did the heckling. As McIlroy sized up a short putt on 7, a fan reminded McIlroy of a similarly short putt he had missed on the 72nd hole at the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst. On the next hole, a par-3 set in a natural amphitheater, a fan yelled “F— you, Rory!” as McIlroy paced across the green. McIlroy’s father, Gerry, who was sitting greenside could only shake his head. As Rory’s lengthy birdie try scooted past the hole, someone yelled, “Get in the water!”

MCILROY DIDN’T HAVEhis best stuff (neither did Scheffler), but he wasn’t about to capitulate to the foul-mouthed fans. All week, he’d found a way to fight through the resistance. On Friday morning, he and Tommy Fleetwood teamed for five birdies and waxed Collin Morikawa and Harris English, 5 and 4. That afternoon, in four-ball, he and Shane Lowry scratched out half a point against Sam Burns and Patrick Cantlay. In Saturday foursomes, he and Fleetwood had a rematch with their Friday opponents and collected another point. Friday afternoon, McIlroy rejoined Lowry for four-ball and they beat Justin Thomas and the U.S.’s hottest player, Cameron Young, 2 up.

Four matches for McIlroy, 3.5 points, which increased his all-time points total to 21.5, one point more than José María Olazábal’s haul and within half a point of Nick Faldo and one point of Seve Ballesteros. These names mean something to McIlroy. Much more than something, actually. This event does, too, its place in his heart seemingly growing with each passing edition.

“We talk about all the people that came before us that paved the way for us,” Luke Donald said Sunday evening in the wake of Europe’s 15-13 win. “Now future generations will talk about this team tonight and what they did and how they were able to overcome one of the toughest environments in all of sport. And that is inspiring to me, and that’s what Rory gets and all these other 11 guys get.”

As Donald spoke, McIlroy blinked back tears and rubbed his eyes. He was emotional, grateful and exhausted.

That fatigue showed Sunday in a match that McIlroy dubbed “a pillow fight.” It didn’t sound like a pillow fight, though. As McIlroy and Scheffler crossed the road that bisects the Black course to play the final four holes, the heaving crowds, bunched by the thousands, resembled scenes from Woodstock, minus the peace and love. On the tee at 18, where McIlroy was 1 down, he finally ran out of steam, blocking his tee shot into a bunker 50 yards right of the fairway — and, with it, any real chance of making a 3 to force a tie.

Scheffler’s 1-up win kept alive the U.S.’s slim hopes of pulling off a historic comeback, as his three teammates ahead of him had already put 2.5 points on the board and the eight behind him were keeping things interesting. As McIlroy and Scheffler finished out their match, Ben Crenshaw, who captained the Miracle-at-Brookline U.S. team in 1999, was looking on from the back of the green. On Saturday night, had he had a feeling, as he did 26 years ago, that the U.S. team might pull off the unthinkable on Sunday?

“I got to be honest, I really didn’t,” Crenshaw told me. “The margin was so huge. But you just never know about golf. Golf is so inexact, and they’ve played their hearts out today. But Europe played some of the greatest golf ever played. On Saturday, it’s like they birdied every hole.”

In the face of fire-breathing galleries, McIlroy made or contributed to 10 of those birdies, helping to position his team to accomplish something that, he said, “everyone thought was pretty impossible to do — not just win in America but win here in New York.”

AS MCILROY AND HIS FELLOWStella Artois-guzzling teammates addressed the media Sunday evening in a tent next to one of the Black course’s putting greens, an intruder without a credential tried to push his way into the press conference. He wore a straw hat and a long-sleeved polo brandished with the American flag. “This is the People’s Course!” he cried, believing Bethpage’s muni status should grant him entrée. He was quickly ushered out, but for McIlroy the interruption served as a fitting bookend to his wild week.

Soon after the unwanted guest departed, McIlroy was asked about another spot of unruliness: the moment, in his Saturday four-ball match, when he answered an f-you heckle on the 16th hole by stuffing his approach shot to three feet. How satisfying was that, a reporter asked.

McIlroy didn’t miss a beat.

He leaned into his mic and said, “Very f—ing satisfying.”

World Champs Menâ€s Decathlon — Back To School Days

blank

SEEING A COMPETITION for medal positions among Kyle Garland, Leo Neugebauer and Ayden Owens is definitely new on the world stage.

But collegiate fans remember that being the norm in 2022 and 2023 with the trio taking the top 3 places three times in multis at the NCAA Championships when they wore the uniforms of Georgia, Texas and Arkansas instead of USA, Germany and Puerto Rico.

Many had anticipated Garland would contend with Sander Skotheim as the latter led the yearly list at 8909 over Garlandâ€s 8869, and thatâ€s how things stood through the end of Day 1. Oh, everything changed early on Day 2.

Hereâ€s an event-by-event look at how things unfolded:

100: Damian Warner — gold medalist in an empty version of this stadium in â€21 at the Olympics and the deca 100 WR holder at 10.12 — was a late scratch, so Ayden-Owens was easily the fastest (his 10.31 near his PR 10.27) with Garland next at 10.51 (down from his PR 10.44 at USATF). All of the contenders were off their bests.

Long Jump: Simon Ehammer — 4th in the main long jump three days earlier — flew predictably far here but leapt just 26-1¾ (7.97), albeit twice in matching Skotheim. Garland was next. He averted disaster after two fouls with an outdoor PR 26-0 (7.92). Neugebauer — the only other 8-meter jumper besides Ehammer and Skotheim — went 25-0 (7.62).

Shot: Garland opened up with a PR 55-10¼ (17.02) to hit 2927 points for 3 events, just 5 points off the torrid pace in his PR score. Neugebauer was next — in the shot at 54-9½ (16.70) and overall with a 2765 score, 162 points behind Garland. Third overall after an outdoor PR 47-7 (14.50) was Skotheim with 2703. That trio projected over 8800 while everyone else was under 8700 compared to their PRs.

High Jump: Skotheim and Garland owned the two best PRs and were the two highest here at 7-¼ (2.14) and 6-11 (2.11) as the Americanâ€s lead grew to 206, now over the Norwegian with Neugebauer (who cleared 6-6¼/1.99) another 68 back. This would be the last event for defending champ Pierce LePage, who was more than 400 points off his PR 8909 pace from Budapest.

400: Owens-Delerme was fastest at 46.46 and American Harrison Williams was the only other sub-47 at 46.88. Skotheim ran 47.86 (down from the 47.47 in his PR) while Garland clocked 48.73 (an improvement on the 49.29 in his PR). Neugebauer was at 48.27, near the 48.03 in his PR.

The Day 1 totals had Garland at 4707, 164 ahead of Skotheim at 4543, but the duo projected within 11 points of each other at 8862 and 8851. Owens-Delerme (4487) and Neugebauer (4455) followed — both more than 100 points down on PR pace but still very much in medal contention. Little noticed on the leader board in 8th (4167, a whopping 539 points behind Garland) was the only one in the field on PR pace — Niklas Kaul, 3 points up on the 8691 total that garnered him the â€19 WC gold.

110H: Disaster struck once and almost twice. In the second race, Skotheim hit hurdle 5 and was off balance so much that he shoved over hurdle 6 — a clear DQ that made him withdraw. In the final section, Garland hit more hurdles (6) than he cleared cleanly (4), and while he got through, his 14.30 was 67 points down from the 13.78 in his PR. He was still in the lead, but he opened the proverbial door for others.

Owens-Delerme was fastest for the third track event in a row, running 13.66 to gain on his PR score (13.73) to take over the chase pack, 136 points behind Garland. Kaul ran 14.45 to improve his PR pace and move up to 7th while Neugebauer hurdled a subpar 14.80 to remain in 3rd.

Discus: A good event for the would-be medalists, especially Neugebauer at a meet record 184-2 (56.15) in taking over chase pack duties. Garlandâ€s 157-8 (48.06) was 60 points down from his 167-1 (50.93) PR at USATF as his lead actually improved to 145. Ayden-Owens was another 31 behind Neugebauer after his 151-4 (46.12) was a third-straight event improving on his PR score.

Pole Vault: The big change here was that the projected medalists looked like eventual medalists for the first time. All three were solid behind Williams†leading 17-¾ (5.20). Owens-Delerme and Neugebauer finished at 16-8 (5.10) (an =PR for Owens-Delerme) and Garland matched the 16-¾ (4.80) in his PR. While the scores tightened — Garlandâ€s lead now at 53 over Neugebauer with AOD another 31 back — Garland held a 100+ lead on projections.

Javelin: Neugebauer took the overall lead after the longest of his two PRs. Heâ€d gone 200-1 (61.00) and then 211-1 (64.34). It was the first great event in the meet, and his 8072 score after 9 events was 15 points up on Garland, who threw 196-1 (59.78). That would have been a PR save for his 214-11 (65.52) at USATF (he had a narrow toe foul estimated near that distance here). Owens-Delerme hit his No. 2 ever throw at 192-10 (58.79) and remained in 3rd, now 114 points out of the lead. Kaul was good — his 256-6 (78.18) just short of his PR and MR 259-4 (79.05) — but not enough after being down in the discus and vault.

1500: Based on event strength, the medal positions looked likely, but there was one adjustment. Neugebauer hung on to the gold, making a move with 2 laps to go to PR by over 6 seconds in 4:31.89. His 8804 total was 20 points better than the 8784 NR by Owens-Delerme, who moved to silver in the closest finish in meet history. Garland finished in 8704 for the bronze.

“It still sounds unbelievable,†Neugebauer said. “I donâ€t know what to say. The oxygen is not back in my brain yet from the run. I feel fantastic. Day 1 was really tough for everybody, I think. Many people fell out, which is really tough in the decathlon. The important thing is just to keep going, especially on Day 2. I was just in a good mood today. I felt great, so I just kept going.â€

WWE Referee Was Hospitalized For 12 Days After Nasty Bump

blank

This popular WWE referee spent over a week in the hospital for a nasty bump.

Professional Wrestling, although mixed with an element of entertainment and drama, often comes with its own set of risks. Throughout the sport’s history, several athletes have suffered serious injuries, undergone surgeries, or spent time in hospitals.

Recently, speaking in an interview with Chris Van Vliet, veteran referee Charles Robinson revealed how he had once spent time in a hospital for a nasty bump he had taken.

“Randy Savage elbow. But it wasnâ€t a ref bump. I was a worker then, but that was the worst bump Iâ€ve taken the elbow from Randy Savage. He put me in the hospital for 12 days. It was Ric [Flair] and I against Medusa and Savage, and he came off the top with the elbow and Ric Flair wasnâ€t going to take the elbow from Savage, so they let Little Naitch. Cracked my sternum, collapsed my lung.

So two hours later, I went to my room and I said, Oh, man, I just canâ€t breathe. Went to my room, two hours later, still canâ€t breathe. I called Jimmy Hart lifesaver. He called the EMTs. They came to my room, took me to the hospital, said, ‘Hey, we need to put you in the hospital.†So that hospital, I wonâ€t say what city, they released me the next day to fly home to Charlotte, which with a collapsed lung youâ€re not supposed to do that. So I went straight to the hospital for 12 days. But Randy Savage called me every day just to check on me.â€

Charles Robinson Opens Up About Emotional WWE Moment

Last year at WrestleMania 40, Cody Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns to finish his story. Refereeing the match was Charles Robinson himself. Speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Robinson explained how Rhodes winning the title made him emotional.

“That was emotional. Just felt great to be part of that. I mean, he was crying, I was crying. His mom was crying, everybody was crying. I was just proud to be part of that. I mean, thatâ€s one of the biggest stories in the last 10 years.So just to be part of that was amazing.â€

WWE is pushing the limits of our wallets and thus fan loyalty with all they’re asking for these days – Top Five Ways WWE Is Breaking Fans

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)…

Alright, my dudes. Iâ€m broke. Itâ€s 2025 and we have growing internet costs, and on top of that we have to subscribe to antivirus software and monthly subscription fees to be able to use the internet. Outside of that, I also have to pay for food and shelter. I have to pay for transportation, healthcare costs, and interest on credit cards because of all of the costs. Then everything asks for a tip at the end of the bill. Then if you have a family, multiply those costs, and Iâ€m barely scratching the surface of what it is to live in The States and afford to live right now.

The one escape we have in common for those reading an article like this one is professional wrestling. For most of my life, it was a pretty inexpensive way to be entertained. If you had cable, you tuned in on Monday nights. Once every few months, youâ€d purchase a Ppay=per-view card, and when the WWE would come to town, youâ€d shell out for tickets to the arena, and tickets started as low as $35 just a few years ago.

Now as we live in a world where costs of necessities are more, the wages for many of us are not keeping up, and weâ€d still like a little enjoyment in our humble life as a peasant. So I tune into cable in Monday, and itâ€s now on Netflix. You want that in the quality that matches your TV and can be used in multiple rooms in the house without ad interruption? Thatâ€ll be $25 each month, please.

At the same time, I get that contracts end, streaming is the current, not even the future, and I already had Netflix, so Iâ€m fine with it. But it hasnâ€t stopped. Now I have to add Netflix but still need Peacock for the archives and PLEs? Thereâ€s another $17. And now ESPN is involved? I feel like my loyalty is now the point of being taken advantage of.

Merch Prices

Itâ€s not a must, but I like to leave with a souvenir of some sort from an event. My t-shirt count is closer to 500 than 100, so Iâ€ve slowed down on shirts. Comes at a good time, I suppose when event shirts can be $45, and ordering online is close to the same after shipping the shirt to me. Iâ€d love to have an Iguana puppet, but thatâ€s $100 for a cool shelf piece, or worse, thatâ€s way too much for a childâ€s toy!

Ticket Prices

Most wrestling fans get into this fandom as children, and many stories begin with someoneâ€s dad/uncle/friend group went to see a wrestling show live. But at $35, I could afford to bring a niece or nephew when I took my own children. I canâ€t even afford to take myself and the one kid who wants to go in current circumstances, let alone offer to bring a friend.

This makes me fear where the next generation of wrestling fan may come from. Most who watch are not children, but it has been something that has been marketed around family entertainment outside of the Attitude Era and your niche hardcore promotion. Will there be enough people to fill arenas at pre-TKO pricing?

More Shows to Watch

At least with money, as Arn Anderson once told Cody Rhodes, in some pretty terrible advice from that podcast story, that you can always make more later. There are time we have more and times we have less when it comes to bank funds. What none of us can afford to lose with no chance of regaining is time.

I work two jobs, have even more hobbies, and I like to have time to spend with spouse, children, and friends. I donâ€t have much time. Even taking time to write these articles are time I will not get back where I could have been something more personally productive, but I enjoy it.

Anything I give my time to at this stage of life is because I really enjoy it, sacrificing my time to lend a hand to someone else, or my wife made me do it. So for me to give time to sit and watch wrestling without it being background noise to keep up on things is slim. Keeping up with every show they planned for the year and the shows they created as counter-programming is a real chore.

The WWE has five weekly shows including Evolve and LFG. Then if you want to watch their online content, a documentary, or another promotion, you just canâ€t keep up.

Another App Subscription

Iâ€m not doing it. I canâ€t justify $30 a month for a sports channel. I donâ€t care about traditional team sports. I like MMA and love mat wrestling (big shout out to whatâ€s happening with Real American Freestyle). Thatâ€s three hours of entertainment once a month, with extra for two day shows, that I get from ESPN with zero time to have interest in anything else theyâ€re going to offer me. I canâ€t. I just canâ€t WWE. Refer back to my opening sentence if you need more.

Not Providing What Weâ€ve Paid For

Now weâ€ve paid you all of our hard earned money to watch the show. We now get five matches per card. In a one-app world, I was thrilled with making those five matches mean more, and also making the television show matches mean more, since theyâ€re true PLE level match-ups, but used as a main event on a Raw or Smackdown. Now I have to get an app that costs me another $30 for those five matches?

Not only are the matches fewer, the advertising spots are more. Bringing in talent and getting them in gear to show off a pizza anyone with their physiques, obviously arenâ€t eating themselves. Then – and I have mixed feelings about writing this – we donâ€t get what we want.

Now, I am not the writer for a 52-week episodic story, and I get having a plan that youâ€re going with and sticking with it. On the other hand, as celebrated as he is now, many people stopped watching wrestling because of John Cena and the style of wrestling we got. And more left when Roman Reigns was being force-fed to the audience as a babyface.

In this era, we have not seen that, but we have seen two crowd favorites dropped. With all of the money the company is making, you had to release, then realize your mistake in not renewing R-Truth. Then Karion Kross, despite the responses and merchandise sales, was also dropped from future promotion plans. Add in enough advertised matches without finishes, and you may eventually have fewer people willing to pay for your product.
