Royalty invades Ring of Honor 

 

Yesterday  ROH heald their 13th anniversary PPV live from Las Vegas. One of the matches on that card was  the Young Bucks taking on the Tag Team champions reDRagons. During this match something very special happened, reDRagon had a certain queen acompony them to the ring and that Queen was none other then the Queen of Spades Shayna Baszler.

Anyone who has been following this site for the last year knows that Shayna is one of our biggest supporters and a good friend; so I speak for everyone here when I say it was indeed a huge mark out moment.

One thing that I loved was that the commentators made sure that fans knew who she was by highlighting the fact that she is a pioneer of WMMA and a catch wrestler. The match many great moments but here is a break down of Baszler’s involvement and what it lead to.

The crowd was upset at Fish for even kicking out.More Bang For Your Buck almost got the three, but Baszler pulls the ref out. The Bucks chase down Baszler, but Kyle comes out of nowhere and takes them out. A big tornado DDT sets up a top rope Falcon Arrow from Fish. Chasing the Dragon doesn’t get the pin as Matt Jackson pulls the ref out! ReDRagon keeps the advantage with a DDT/wheelbarrow suplex keeps the advantage, followed by Chasing the Dragon for the 3 count.

There you have it folks legendary Shayna Baszler had a hand in a great victory. Could this be a sign of more to come? We all know Baszler has a love for Professinal wrestling and I know I wouldn’t mind seeing her in the squared circle. Only time will tell.

One thing is for sure though we here at WrestlingNewsBlog couldn’t be any happier for Shayna and we are honored that we get to share this moment with you all

Vince Russo Opens Up About His Departure From His Own Website

As noted earlier, Vince Russo announced that he is no longer a part of Pyro & Ballyhoo, the website that he started last May. Russo released the 26 minute video above regarding his departure.

Russo started off by spoofing stories about his departure while taking with “Fast Eddie” on the phone, referencing his former writing partner, Ed Ferrara. At the 6:53 mark Russo starts to discuss what happened.

Apparently Russo had someone create the site and his Twitter account for him and he was told last Wednesday that there were issues with the site. On Friday evening Russo was going to post a story about the Hulk Hogan appreciation night at Madison Square Garden and realized he was locked out of the site. He had an idea it was coming, so he changed his Twitter password, only for it to be reset by someone else. He said that he has been locked out of his Twitter account since Saturday morning. His lawyer is working on it, and he expects to regain control of his Twitter account next week.

Russo added that subscribers to his website were automatically charged for their monthly subscriptions via PayPal, and that he hopes their money will be returned. He re-iterated that he is no longer part of the site and that he will not be providing any content for that site.

UFC184: A history making night 

As most of you may know we here at WNB are huge advocates of the females in the sports industry. More specifically in the world of Professinal wrestling and MMA.

This Saturday at UFC184 at the Staple Center in Los Angeles history will be made. For the first time ever both Co Main & Main events feture women.  The co main will feature the #12 athlete in the women’s Batemweight divison Requel Pennington vs the #13 seed and former 10 time boxing Champion Holly Holm.

The co main event is just as high profile as the main event and that is because Holly Holm has been one of the most talked about athletes in awhile. Not to mention her KO victories serve as a human highlight reel. Many people believe Holm is the favorite to win this fight.

Raquel Penninton on the other hand is coming off a recent victory at UFC182. She defeated Ashley Even’s smith impressively in the last 10 secs of the 1st round via Bulldog choke. Not to mention Pennington is an alumni of The Ultimite fighter season 18. Her fight with Jessamyn Duke is highly regarded as one of the best WMMA fights and it was a fight that earned the title “fight of the season”.

If that’s not enough Dana White spoke highly of Pennigton telling her she was one of the best in the divison. Pennington made it to the semi finals but then lost to the seasons winner Juliana Peña. Many people see Pennington as the underdog in this fight but that’s a situation Pennington is comfortable with.

In the main event we have two undefeated athletes Ronda Rousey holds a record of (10-0) while Cat Zingano holds a record of (9-0) Both athletes are coming off wins. Zigano earned a TKO victory against Amanda Nunes back in September as where Rousey is coming off an impressive record setting 16 sec TKO in the women’s Batemweight divison against Alexis Davis from UFC175

Let’s not forget this is a fight that has been a year in the making. In late 2013 Zignano beat standout Miesha Tate via TKO earning her a future title shot. She was also slated to couch opposite Rousey of TUF18 but all of that was put on hold after she suffered an ACL injury. Her return was then pushed back further when tragedy struck in her personal life after her husband/couch took his own life.

Both athletes in the main event have battled their fair share of injuries and personal struggles. They both have something to prove and neither of them want to see that 0 disappear from the record. Wether you’re Team Rousey or Team Zingano, the fight fans are in for a treat.

The full fight card is as follows:
