Undertaker At WrestleMania?

Leading up to today, there has not been any rumored plans for the Undertaker at WrestleMania, however, that may have changes. PWInsider is reporting that Taker is in the New York area.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Undertaker involved in interfering in the musical performance of Elias.

How Did WWE Pull Off RAW’S Woman’s Segment?

Monday’s RAW segment involving Lynch, Rousey, and Flair has many in the wrestling world talking. Some have praised it as a spontaneous and violent segment, while others have stated they feel it’s a ripoff of the attitude era. Either way, many are wondering how WWE pulled it off.  The Wrestling Observer noted that it was a team effort with input from not only the women but Paul Heyman, Marty Miller, Kevin Dunn, and Vince McMahon that was pre-taped before RAW.

Jason’s Take

I thought the segment was well executed and it is the top match I am looking forward to watching on Sunday.

Miz Responds to John Oliver Piece

Many fans and media have been discussing Sunday’s Last Week Tonight segment. The Miz weighed in today in an interview with Sports Illustrated.

“I’ve been there for 13+ years. I met my wife in WWE. We now have a child together and trust me, I live a pretty incredible life. It’s not every day you get to go out in front of 80,000 people and either have them boo or cheer you. Are there people who are going to be disgruntled and upset? … The thing is, what are you doing to get it? I feel like I’ve gotten everything I’ve ever wanted from WWE and more.”

Jason’s Take

The Miz is right. There are a lot of bitter and disgruntled past and current wrestlers out there.

Jason’s Take

I would love to see Ryder and Hawkins pick up the tag team titles. I have always thought both were talented wrestlers/characters that have been grossly under utilized by creative.

Takehiro Yamamura Injured?

Takehiro Yamamura was one of All Elite Wreslting’s signings from China’s OWE promotion. However, it appears that Yamamura was inured at an OWE event. According to the Twitter account of CavTrooper67, Yamamura was hurt, and unable to move from the neck down. The match was called immediately and paramedics carried him out on a stretcher. This morning an update came out that initial tests looked good, but requires more tests. There was no update on whether he regained movement in his body, however it appears that this will be a lengthy recovert

Jason’s Take

Yamamura was a highly touted signing for AEW. The company has had some of its wrestlers dealing with injuries including the Lucha Brose and Cody Rhodes, but nothing as serious as this. Here is hoping for a speedy recovery.
