WON NEWSLETTER: July 27, 2020 Observer Newsletter: Extreme Rules review, Good Brothers podcast, more 

A look at the very good, and the very bad, of Extreme Rules is the lead story in the new double issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. We also have a back-of-the-book feature on Carlton Haselrig, one of the greatest American heavyweight wrestlers in the history of the sport of wrestling.

The new issue also covers:

Interest levels in Extreme Rules and with the rating the next day, the lesson that tells us about certain types of angles, the background of Seth Rollins vs. Rey Mysterio, along with match-by-match coverage, star ratings and poll results on the show.

An examination of all facets of the Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson departure from WWE, including what makes sense, what doesn’t, why, how come they were signed, how come they were given such a strong offer to stay, their release, A.J. Styles, angles set up for them in New Japan and AEW last year, the booking of Raw under Paul Heyman and much more.  This is a very detailed look not only at Gallows &  Anderson, but the roles of a number of different people and how Raw fell off the creative tracks

Impact Slammiversary with match-by-match coverage with star ratings and poll results on the show.

Stephanie McMahon’s interview in Ad Age covering wrestling during the pandemic, testing and what changes look to be permanent, as well as race relations.

I have a new roster and a new playground that will excite me to interact with the different people on the roster. I think that’s going to have me enjoy this a lot more. I forgot how exciting and the love I have for inside the ring, just with how gracious Tony Khan was. All the staff and coaches were so welcoming me coming in. It has been a fun ride. I can’t wait for the next time I’m out there.”

After 48 relentless hours of airstrikes and artillery shells, Bassem made the reluctant decision to move his family into the basement of their building, even though he knew it could not protect them. 

His baby son was two weeks old and his wife was too weak and malnourished to breastfeed him. Bassem, a 33-year-old anesthetist at one of Eastern Ghouta’s few beleaguered hospitals, worried about their health in the poorly ventilated basement. 

Deep down, he knew that the makeshift shelter would not protect them from a direct hit with a barrel bomb or a rocket.

“It is not a good place for them. It is not healthy, it is not equipped, it is too cold. And I know it isn’t safe if it is hit by a missile….

The armed officer on duty at a Florida high school where 17 people were shot dead has defended his actions after Donald Trump branded him a coward.

Scot Peterson ran to the sound of gunshots, but believing the shooting to be taking place outdoors he followed his training to take up a "tactical position" from where he directed first responders, according to his lawyer.

Mr Peterson has been heavily criticised for failing to do more to prevent the massacre. On Monday, Mr Trump said the deputy and other officers present "weren’t exactly medal of honour winners".

Mr Trump claimed he would have raced into the school during the attack even if he were unarmed.

Joseph DiRuzzo, Mr Peterson’s attorney, said it was "patently untrue" that the deputy failed to meet sheriff’s department standards or acted with cowardice.

The sheriff’s office declined comment, explaining that Peterson’s conduct is being investigated by its internal affairs division.

Parkland students vs the NRA

Mr Peterson’s statement said he and a security specialist ran to the scene at first word of the shooting, a report that mistakenly said firecrackers were being set off near one building. He then heard gunshots "but believed that those gunshots were originating from outside of the buildings".

Following his training to seek cover and assess the situation in the event of outdoor gunfire, he alerted dispatchers and initiating a "code red" lockdown of the campus, the statement said.

"Radio transmissions indicated that there was a gunshot victim in the area of the football field," adding to his belief that the shooting was outside.

The state governor’s office has asked the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate the police response, and the agency confirmed it would begin the probe immediately.

WWE Raw will be live tonight from the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, RI, and will feature the return of Universal Champion Brock Lesnar to address his upcoming opponents for his triple-threat title defense against Kane and Braun Strowman.
This past Monday night’s Raw main event should have decided Lesnar’s challenger at the 2018 Royal Rumble event on Sunday, Jan. 28. However, Strowman and Kane’s hard-hitting bout quickly descended into chaos. Following a double count-out, neither Superstar emerged as The Beast’s challenger. So, who will rise to face The Conqueror?

Live on Raw, Lesnar returns to address the future of his championship — and the behemoths intent on capturing it.
Cedric Alexander vs Drew Gulak
fter winning a “Second Chance” Fatal 4-Way Match this past Monday night on Raw, Alexander will now battle Gulak on the forthcoming edition of Raw, with the winner of that contest going on to challenge Enzo Amore for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.
Alexander has vowed to make the most of this new opportunity, and many of his Cruiserweight compatriots stand behind him as he looks to move past Gulak and derail The Zo Train by taking down its conductor. Meanwhile, Gulak is faced with an interesting choice: Should he defeat Alexander, will he bring the fight to The Certified G, or will he hand Amore an easy victory? We will soon find out.

Raw Women Put Absolution On Notice
Paige, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville gave Asuka a choice: Either she joins Absolution, or she becomes their enemy. The Empress of Tomorrow chose the latter, and soon fell victim to a three-on-one beatdown like so many Superstars before her.
Asuka, however, had backup. The entire Raw Women’s locker room soon emptied, with friend and foe alike — including Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss — emerging to end Absolution’s onslaught.

Absolution defeated Bayley, Sasha Banks & Mickie James at WWE Tribute to the Troops, but they still have the rest of the Raw Women’s division to deal with. How will Paige and her ruthless allies retaliate?
Who Will Challenge Roman Reigns Next?
In a hard-fought match, Reigns ultimately defeated Cesaro this past Monday night to retain the Intercontinental Championship. Then, at WWE Tribute to the Troops, The Big Dog celebrated alongside his Shield brothers after scoring a victory over Samoa Joe and The Bar in a raucous Six-Man Tag Team Match.
As Reigns carries his workhorse title to Raw, it remains to be seen who will step up next. Will it be Sheamus or Joe, or will a new nemesis step into his yard?
“Woken Warriors” Assemble
Matt Hardy is “Woken,” and he’s ready for war … a Great War, in fact. The unusual Superstar continues his labyrinthine verbal exchanges with Bray Wyatt, each more bizarre than the last.
Will Hardy and The Eater of Words collide in physical combat, or will the bewildering tirades continue?

Cody Rhodes Comments On His Time With The WWE

July 27, 2020 | News | No Comments

A fan recently asked Cody Rhodes if ever he would return to the WWE in the future, while saying that Cody Rhodes deserved a better run. Cody replied to the fan by saying that he had a great run with the WWE and noted a number of things that happened while he worked for the company. Cody Rhodes recently lost the ROH World Championship to Dalton Castle at the ROH Final Battle PPV Event and he will be facing Kota Ibushi at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 12 PPV on January 4.
Below are the tweets sent out by the fan and Cody Rhodes:
 

@CodyRhodes any chances of you ever returning to @WWE? or will it be when pigs fly? You deserved a lot better during your run with WWE in my opinion #KissTheRing
— connor goebel (@goebsy_goebel) December 23, 2017

 

I had a great run. Met my wife. Made the Mania’ walk a bunch of times. Got a chance to see Dad’s last elbow. Won a bunch of titles. Made millions without a college education.
but I’m happy where I’m at and where this is going. 2018 will be the most important year of my career. https://t.co/G32flxqPXc

It was previously reported that after Royal Rumble went off air, Ronda Rousey came back out to greet fans. It was also reported that Rousey made her debut by interrupting a post-Rumble segment with winner Asuka, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair and RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss. Rousey pointed at the WrestleMania 34 sign, took a look at both titles and tried to shake Asuka’s hand but Asuka slapped it away. Rousey also shook Stephanie McMahon’s hand at ringside to squash their storyline beef. After Ronda came back out to greet the fans she was interviewed.
During the interview, Ronda said that she really doesn’t know how to process everything but this is not something she does every day and this is something very different from fighting. Ronda also said that it was a real pleasure being able to soak everything up and that she is very aware of how lucky she is. Ronda then says that coming to WWE has been her dream since before she could talk. She talks about asking late WWE Hall of Famer Roddy Piper if she could use the “Rowdy” nickname when she got into MMA. Ronda also says that no matter what else she did in life, pro wrestling kept following her around and it was time to take a hint from the WWE Universe.
Ronda also reveals that the leather jacket she wore at the Rumble was brought to her by Piper’s son Colt, who flew the jacket in from Las Vegas to Philadelphia. Ronda also says that she wants people to remember Piper every time she’s out there and says that she wouldn’t be here or had her run in UFC if it weren’t for Piper. Ronda also says that Piper taught her so much from afar and showed her that she can also touch people from afar. Ronda then says that she is a better person because Piper lived.

Regarding the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble match, Ronda says that she was thinking about how a women’s Rumble would have been laughed at before and how she has been laughed out of gyms in the past. Ronda also says that women have been brushed aside in combat sports for so long but to see everyone give a standing ovation to the women’s Rumble was big, and how fans were really invested in the match, and how it was well-accepted by the fans, not forced on them. Ronda then says that she didn’t even know about women’s wrestlers when she was a kid but she wants to make sure there’s not another generation that doesn’t know about women’s wrestlers when they’re little.
When asked about pointing to the WrestleMania 34 sign, Ronda says that she thinks it’s a big fat hint that she’s going to be there in New Orleans at the big event.
Below is the video from her interview after the show:
