Hulk Hogan WWE Return Coming Soon?


Rumours have recently surfaced that professional wrestling legend and icon Terry Bollea, better known under his ring name Hulk Hogan may be returning to our television screens as a WWE personality once again and not in the too distant future.

Bollea has been blacklisted from the wrestling promotion since audio of what were deemed to be racist remarks were released to the public after being leaked years after the audio was actually taken. This and the fact that a sexual intercourse tape with the latter mentioned being featured in it prevented any quick comeback to the WWE.

The name and character of Hulk Hogan have been pretty much completely ripped out of the history books since the two incidents, this has had a major effect on the content the company shows, as Hogan was a strong part of 80's/90's professional wrestling.

But as of late, the WWE have been dropping the ball ever so slightly with regards to a total lockdown on Hogan, with content featuring him being screened more and his name even getting the very occasional yet awkward mention.

It is reported that the WWE is almost ready to patch things up with Hogan, whom has actually been removed from its own hall of fame, but it isn't clear whether that's a permanent move or not. It seems likely and has been mentioned that the WWE want Hogan back for Wrestlemania 33, taking a similar role to that he played at Wrestlemania 30.

If Hogan does return to the WWE for Wrestlemania 33, let's just hope that he can actually remember what arena he is in this time, good luck Hulkster.

News: ROH Star On His Way To WWE

Hey guys, it's Tom Maher and in this blog we're going to be talking about how current Ring of Honor champion could be quickly dropping the belt due to rumours of a move to WWE. Last year something similar happened to three top talents however after several contract negotiations the stars remained put. This time it may be different.

Adam Cole won the belt from Jay Lethal at the most recent ROH pay per view. Jay Lethal's year long reign finally came to a halt as bullet club leader pinned Lethal for the 1...2...3. Adam Cole is a great asset to ROH as he leads the well known faction Bullet Club. After losing two of the Bullet Club's leaders in a few years with the likes of Prince Devitt, now Finn Balor, and AJ Styles jumping ship to the big time.

However, these two men have been very successful in the WWE as Finn Balor has held the WWE Universal Championship and AJ Styles is the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion. This could mean Adam Cole can be just as successful. Without a shadow of a doubt Cole can be an outstanding addition to either the main roster or NXT.

The man has bags of charisma mixed with a fantastic character and his wrestling ability is not far off amazing either. I hope this goes through and we Adam Cole as a champion in the very near future. Maher Out!

News: ECW Killed Proffesional Wrestling?


Recently in an interview with a wrestling site ECW legend Tommy Dreamer was talking about UK wrestling and how when he signed with the WWE that he would scout this young British talent and he would hire them to the company so a lot of the British superstars you saw today has came from

Then, later in the interview the journalist asked Tommy Dreamer about wrestling today and how it's declined in quality so much after the last 20 years and he replied with this. "I think ECW spurred a lot of garbage wrestling. Guys would look at myself and Sandman and think that they could put on a T-Shirt and sweatpants and call themselves a wrestler. There’s a lot more to it. There are some seriously great workers out there in the UK."

================

When thinking about the situation he does, unfortunately, have a great point. Anyway my question is what do you guys think the cause in the decline of wrestling was? I say that people aren't willing to venture to different companies like ROH and Lucha Underground. Talent over there are slowly earning more recognition but it's 10x less what they truly deserve.

Ring Of Honor Wrestling Review: Episode #260

Hello, Cameron Mcdonley again and welcome to another review! This time, it is a review of ROH Wrestling, Episode 260! Although two matches took place, there is a lot to be discussed regarding this edition, so let's stop wasting time with this dragging intro and let's get into the show!

The show begins with an intro recapping the events that happened at the top of the hour on last week's show, with the Bullet Club trading words with Jay Lethal before Los Igonerables De Japon appeared at the aide of the former Ring Of Honor World Champion. The match heavily announced between the 6 men happened at the top of the hour, as the two top wrestlers in ROH had each of NJPW's biggest heel factions on their side. At the midpoint in the match however,Tetsuya Naito and EVIL walked away from Jay Lethal due to miscommunication, leaving him secluded with the non-existent leniency of Adam Cole, Yujiro Takahashi and "Hangman" Adam Page. Michael Elgin and Kyle O'Reilly made their presences felt later on in the match just in time for a decisive victory, but the newfound hatred Lethal has for Naito is not salvageable, as that fire burns bright in his heart.
Rating: 4/5 

From there we cut to a promo from the Addiction regarding their Ladder War against the Motor City Machine Guns and the Young Bucks on September 30th at All-Star Extravaganza (Which I will cover in full on this site, cheap plug), and if I'm gonna be honest, it's one of the better promos this team has had. they showed more passion and had conviction in their tone. Made me more excited for that match than I already was, so it completed its objective.
Rating:3.9/5 

All-Star Extravaganza's hype package plays highlighting the Six-Man Tag Team Tournament starting at the PPV when Jay Lethal cuts off the feed and unleashes a scathing promo at ringside on Naito. Acting matchmaker Nigel McGuinness takes the mic and makes the match between Lethal and Tetsuya Naito official for 9/30, but stares a hole in the "Greatest First Generation Wrestler" and warns him to remember what happened last time he begged for a match. Great storytelling!
Rating: 3.5/5 

Our main event is now underway, as Katsuyori Shibata challenges Bobby Fish for the Ring Of Honor World Television Championship! Again, for the sake of the reader, I'm refusing to spoil too much, as this match was an absolute work of art. These two phenomenal wrestlers displaying what can only be described as God-Given talent for 30 straight minutes in a ring where many amazing matches have taken place. Technical wrestling in it's finest hour was conveyed to this audience at Sam's Town in the most breathtaking of ways. The biggest shock of all, the most overwhelming surprise was who took the victory, but this masterpiece is way too incredible to put into words, let alone try to spoil for the audience that may be reading this. Match Of The Year candidate most certainly.
Rating: 5/5

Well, I hate to conclude this review, but all good things must come to an end. Tomorrow, I will review the September 15th edition of Impact Wrestling if I can. Until then,this is Cameron Mcdonley saying goodbye everybody!
