You know those moments we all live for as fans? Those moments that cause you to either smile from ear to ear or mark out like you’ve never marked out before? Wether it be while watching the Super Bowl, the World Series, the World Cup, the indie 500, WrestleMania, WrestleKindom, Bond for Glory or a UFC event as fans it’s what we live for. We live to cheer and live to boo!
This moment in particular should cause MMA fans and pro wrestling fans alike to rejoice. As you may know it was recently announced that Shayna Baszler will be fighting Amanda Nunes in Rio on March 21st and some of you may also know Shayna is a HUGE wrestling fan. I mean after all she’s a catch wrestler which has adapted into what we know as pro wrestling today. She’s an ongoing supporter and it looks like she’s getting that support in return.
ROH and PWG star Adam Cole sent out a tweet to the queen of spades in support of her upcoming bout
There you have it folks Adam Cole says that the pro wrestling family has Shayna’s back which means as wrestling fans (and if your reading this that means you) SO SHOULD YOU. Even if MMA isn’t your cup of tea I encourage you to tune into this fight on March 21st it’s our duty as a wrestling/MMA community to do so.
More details on start time and how to view the fight are coming soon.

Ring Of Honor COO Joe Koff spoke to fans at the promotion’s event in Philadelphia on Saturday night (Jan 24). He mentioned that the promotion was named number one domestic television broadcast and number one domestic promotion by Wrestling Observer Newsletter. He thanked the fans and said that if the wrestling observer had a “best fans” category the ROH fans would win.
Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis and her husband Mike Bennett are currently working with Ring of Honor without contracts because their deals expired. Wrestling Observer reports that both sides have been negotiating for a few months. They will continue to work for ROH and are both scheduled to work tours of Japan this year.
Wrestling Observer reports that there’s a feeling that Kanellis & Bennett will begin talking with TNA and Lucha Underground soon.
