Mean Tweets #BRE edition (Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke and Mia Yim)

If you watch Jimmy Kimmel Live then you’re familiar with his segment celebrities read mean tweets. Have you ever wondered though what it would be like if professional wrestlers and professional MMA fighters had their own edition?

Well wonder no more because we got you covered just yesterday WWE’S newest signee Jessamyn Duke uploaded a video to her official YouTube channel which you can subscribe to here http://www.youtube.com/JessamynDuke where her and her roommates do just that.

This one is definitely filled with lots of laughs and great comebacks so if you’re into that sort of thing.

Part 2 coming soon

Shayna Baszler (Backstage fallout NXTTakeover New Orleans)

Time and time again NXTTakeover deliveries and tonight was no different. From opening bell to the very last NXTNewOrleans had something special.

One of the moments that was near and dear to our heart, was when Shayna Baszler captured the NXT Women’s title from Ember Moon by putting her to sleep.

The hesrtfelt moment continued after the match in Baszler’s post interview.

This is not a bandwagon, this is a war wagon. You can’t just jump on and off based on who has this. I know who was there for with me in the beginning and who wasn’t.

In the interview she also talks about what it means to be sharing this weekend with her friend Ronda Rousey. One thing for sure is this weekend truly is a special one for the 4Horsewomen

You can check out Shayna’s interview down below

It’s official: Jedrzejczyk and Gadelha to coach TUF23 

  
The Ultimate Fighter Team Joanna vs. Team Claudia will kick-off on FS1 on Wednesday, April 20 with a two-hour season premiere airing at 10 p.m. ET as 32 competitors fight for one of 16 slots – eight in each weight class – available to be coached by two of the sport’s best. The season will continue with 11 one-hour shows Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET. The series is the highest rated and most watched original program since the network’s inception in August 2013.

Poland’s first UFC champion, Jedrzejczyk (11-0, fighting out of Olsztyn, Poland) stormed onto the scene in 2014 with her first Octagon appearance. Since then, she’s gone on to win five straight, won the strawweight title, cemented her place on the top pound-for-pound list and is widely considered as one of the best strikers in the sport. She’ll now lend her expertise to the next generation of athletes who hope to follow in her footsteps and one day wear UFC gold themselves. 

Gadelha (13-1, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) trains at the renowned Nova Uniao gym, home to former champions Jose Aldo & Renan Barao. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist hopes to get another crack at current strawweight champion, Jedrzejczyk, who provided Gadelha with the only blemish on her record – a three-round split decision loss in late 2014. Their contrasting styles should provide for an entertaining season between the two teams. The Brazilian’s comfort zone is on the canvas and will provide a stark contrast to the Pole’s highly skilled striking attack brings a completely different skillset to the show. 

The series culminates on live on FS1 Friday, July 8 in Las Vegas as part of International Fight Week and will be headlined by Jedrzejczyk and Gadelha in a championship

Ric Flair says nobody asked him about the Charlotte and Paige segment 

 WrestlingInc.com is reporting that the nature boy Ric Flair apparently had no idea that the controversial segment that took place between his daughter WWE Divas champion Charlotte and Paige this past Monday was even going to happen.

In a segment that involved Paige making a joke about the passing of Reid Flair, caused a lot of waves and it also brought the hall of famer to tears. Ric mentioned on his Woo  nation podcast that he was never approached about the idea by anyone within the company before the segment took place nor afterwards.

Flair mentioned that his daughter Ashley (Charlotte’s real name) was probably to scared to say a thing. He continued by saying ““Obviously I have an opinion, but I’m afraid to voice it because I don’t want anything to affect Ashley’s career,I know that Hunter and Stephanie and Michael Hayes have her back. I don’t think she feels she’s comfortable enough to say ‘no’ to anything yet, she’s only been up there three-months”

He also states that just because Charlotte is the champion it doesn’t mean she could just say no. They can and will get rid of anyone. He described the situation being like a pressure cooker.  “If you’re asked to do something, that’s pretty much the way things operate up there. Everybody walks on pins and needles. Just because you’re the champ, doesn’t mean you say no. It’s a very sensitive issue, it’s very new. I know her mom is on fire. I’m not going out on a limb to say what I think.”

Flair clearly was unhappy about the situation but also added that he knows Hayes and Hunter would never do anything to intentionally hurt Charlotte. He went on to say “I don’t think it would’ve made a difference. . If they ask you to do something, what is she going to say? ‘No, I quit?,”

He ended by mentioning that he will indeed be in attendance at Survivor Series this Sunday so it’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out.

WWE Divas champion Charlotte makes her match with Paige at Survivor Series official 

 On the November 16th edition of Monday Night Raw the show closed with one of the most intense contract signings in history and what it made it all the more ground breaking is that it involved two women.

Things got pretty personal between the Divas Champion Charlotte and Challanger Paige who will meet each other in the ring this Sunday at Survivor Series.

Antics were questioned and friendship was thrown out the window. However what everyone is taking about today are the comments made about Charlotte’s late brother Reid. During the contact singing Paige said “your baby brother didn’t have much fight in him did he”?

Those comments sent the champion into a rage and an all out brawl broke loose. Charlotte was so upset that she didn’t even get to sign the contract.

Now thanks to Backstage fallout there’s video of the champ signing the contract and the match is now official.

Whether this segment was something you loved or hated one thing is for sure, people are now invested. This match matters and with all of those elements Paige and Charlotte are sure to have a barn burner this Sunday.’

UFC Strawweight champion Joanna  Jedrzejczyk sustains hand injury 

  Following her victory over Valerie Letourneau, UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk said she thought she broke her hand during the fight at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia. She was right.

Jedrzejczyk’s manager, Tiago Okamura, verified the champ’s broken hand to MMAfighting.com on Sunday, adding that she would once again need to undergo surgery.

This would be the champs 2nd injury this year. Jedrzejczyk broke her thumb in her first title defense against Jessica Penne this past July.

There was no specific timeline given for Jedrzejczyk’s recovery, but she returned from the broken thumb to defend her belt against Letourneau in less than five months. So, hopefully, she won’t be sidelined for long. We would like to wish the champ a speedy recovery.

Reflections of a proud “soldier”

20140802-172618.jpg

Just had a realization and wanted to share it with you all. In September it’ll be a year that I’ve been enlisted in the queens army & that I’ve been following MMA. In that short time I’ve had crazy opportunities involving the queen and the rest of the 4Horsewomen that I won’t explain because y’all should already know what they were and are. In these 11 months Shayna was suppose to make her UFC debut 3 TIMES! November 30th 2013 in Vegas, April 16th 2014 in Canada, and August 2nd in Los Angeles CA. I thought for sure that was the way of the universe and God telling me that I was meant to be at that fight, but I was WRONG because all the signs pointed elsewhere. The fight that was suppose to take place this evening was snuffed away from a lot of people due to the injury of Jose Aldo. Now here me out, as I sit here tonight thinking about what should have been the greatest day in wmma history today. It hit me. Had the fight still be tonight I wouldn’t of saw it anyway. With shayna’s fight being on the main card right before the co main I would’ve missed it because I DIDN’T have a hotel booked & I would’ve had to leave early to catch the train back home. So you want to talk about the universe aligning in a certain way and showing me signs? Well what I thought was a big enough sign in aug 2nd still remains because after what I realized just now I know now more then ever that I am meant to be there cheering on the queen and all these Unfortunate events where for the greater good and will soon reveal its purpose on Aug 30th like Shayna says

“Me and my army will march on and continue to conquer Mercilessly. Many will jump on and off the ship to hell & back. To those who stay I will reign in blood and you will be greatly rewarded. To those who bail we will not save you.

I believe that aug 30th is my award ceremony and the award ceremony for all Queens Army members alike

I’ll end it with this in such a short period of time not just Shayna but all of the 4Horsewomen have changed my life in ways that they might not even fully understand. They have given me something new to be passionate about and a new family. They’ve all shown me time & time again that they appreciate me just as much as I appreciate them. They will go to bat for me just as much as I go to bat for them, so if any of you ladies just so happen to read this all I can say is THANK YOU!!
