Finn Balor and Triple H both worked the main event of this weekend's WWE house show in Toronto - results courtesy of Mike J. (PWI) Impact Wrestling is going to tape episodes in Mumbai on May 30th and 31st. (PWI) Scott D'Amore has been given the official title in Impact of Vice President of International Development. (PWI) Mahabali Shera and Aiden O'Shea have NOT been released - both are still with the company. (PWI) * The Golden Truth, The Big Show and Sin Cara beat The Shining Stars, Jinder and Bo Dallas. Speaking to Jim Ross, Shawn Michaels raves about the Rock & Roll Express: "Greatest tag team ever, man. Say what you want, them and The Midnight Express, I got to sit there and watch those guys tear the house down every night at 19 years old and it was a thing of beauty at the time. And yes, I was thrilled when I heard them going in the Hall Of Fame. To me, that is so deserved. And again, I recognize it's another generation, so there are probably a lot of people who may not know who they were. And I'm sure there are others, but the best, the greatest babyface tag team ever, a gimmick that was so unbelievably cool back in the day and played it to the hilt. You want to learn how to sell? You watch Ricky Morton. You watch Ricky Morton sell, and, again, Ricky Steamboat might be the only guy that's better. And just, again, the quintessential babyface." The bullet points for WWE Raw tonight are below. * Brock Lesnar has us all "shook." WWE house show results from London, Ontario, Canada courtesy Bryce Fields are below.

It was GAME ON when @TripleH made his grand entrance at #WWEToronto! #TimeToPlayTheGame http://pic.twitter.com/gP4JnOFA6Y - WWE (@WWE) March 13, 2017 Via Facebook Mick Foley wants to know who the next Raw GM should be: "Things really get rolling on the new season of Holy Foley when WWE Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon - WWE stops by for dinner - and refuses to leave! Join us for a season full of highbrow high jinx only on WWE Network! OK, none of that is actually happening - a new season or Steph moving in - but I always got a kick out of this photo (taken pre-haircut, in our #McMahonFoleyConnection high-fiving days) and hope that some of you do too. I also think it's indicative of the fun I have had working with Stephanie (although the past few weeks have been a little rocky) and of a friendship spanning 18 years. Assuming Mrs Foley's baby boy gets the boot sometime in 2017, who would you like to see in the GM role?" The card for SHIMMER 91 on April 1st is below.

(IW) * ODB vs. Rebel Speaking to Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling, David Finlay talks about his father's influence on his career: "I was always around it and I was immersed in my Dad's profession since I was born basically. There are pictures of me as a six week old baby hanging on to the bottom rope and my Dad is just right in front of me looking at me so I guess it kind of foreshadowed with my Dad kind of behind the scenes now and I'm the one in the ring but still coaching me from the side lines. But it is everything that I've ever wanted to do from as long as I can remember and I never changed it and always wanted to do it."

(PWI) 1:30 PM ET. Bring It to the Table returns tonight after Raw on WWE Network with Peter Rosenberg, Corey Graves and JBL.

I think it's a conspiracy somewhere, I'm going to say it straight out there." Eric LeGrand, former Rutgers University football player turned motivational speaker, has been named the recipient of WWE's third annual Warrior Award. (WWE) 2:00 PM ET. WWE just made Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns official for WrestleMania 33. Speaking of Taker, Shawn Michaels explains why he was never in The Kliq: "'Taker has always been a calm, cool, and collected guy. But the Kliq? We were loud and obnoxious. Taker was great friends with Kevin and Scott Hall. We've always got along, too, and clearly now we're closer than ever, but 'Taker had his own crew. He ran with Yoko and the Godwins and some other guys, and we hung out with them a bunch. The Undertaker wasn't in the Kliq, and it's the same with John Cena and me. We've always gotten along well, but we never rode up and down the road together. Scott and I have known each other since the '80s in our days wrestling in Kansas City. I specifically asked to work with Kevin and wanted to have him on my side, so he comes in the door and started riding with me. Everyone knows the story with Hunter—he came in and knew that we weren't well-liked, but he wanted to hang us with us anyway. Scott worked with Sean on his first night on Raw, and he sort of has that Curt Hennig gene in him. Curt always grabbed a young guy and said, ‘You're jumping in the car with me,' and that's what Scott did with Sean. That's how all of that happened, and we were all just running around, and then, one day, somebody called us a name, and it stuck. This faction of people turned into this ominous thing in the wrestling business, and that's what is great about the wrestling business. You can become anything you want." 2:45 PM ET. WWE has finally made it official: "WWE has come to terms on the release of Jack Swagger as of today, March 13, 2017. WWE wishes Swagger the best in all his future endeavors." SportsKeeda says Kane's contract with WWE this year could be his last. Kurt Angle thinks we may all be lazy and using our cell phones too much. 3:45 PM ET. John Cena and Nikki Bella were on The Today Show earlier with a clip of Cena getting slimed at the Nickelodeon Kids' Awards. New WWE NXT live dates have been announced. (WWE) 4/13 Atlanta, GA A one hour version of the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will air April 3rd after Raw. (WO) 6:00 PM ET. Oh dear - Ryback's gone off the deep end and thinks WWE brought in Goldberg to spite him: "I watched the entire Fastlane Pay Per View. I don't have anything bad to say. They put the championship on Bill Goldberg and I don't think he has wrestled that long since he has been there and I don't think he has to. He looks physically very impressive, but you can just tell he is an older human being, and anybody who tries to deny that is being Cedric Alexander is going to be sidelined 3-5 months with a knee injury. (PWS) Dan Severn, Cryme Tyme and Brooke Adams (Tessmacher) have been added to this year's WrestleCon in Orlando. (WC) Kurt Angle will appear at WrestleMania Axxess on April 2nd at 8 AM ET for Premium VIP ticket holders to do an autograph session. (WWE) The Kickstarter for Michael Kingston's next edition of Headlocked has hit $14K of a $20K goal with 49 days to go. Unless/until WWE has it removed here's video footage of AJ Styles confronting Shane McMahon at MSG. In this interview Beth Phoenix talks about going into the WWE Hall of Fame: "With my career I knew I wanted to work for WWE. There was no other company that I wanted to work for. I took my career incrementally/ I wanted to get hired; that's all I wanted, was to get one paycheck from WWE. Then I wanted to have a TV match, then a match against the champion, then I wanted to be champion. When I retired (in October 2012), it was in the back of my mind that maybe I had accomplished enough to be recognized, but I sure wasn't certain and it didn't take away from how much I cherished my career." Our condolences to the friends, family and fans of wrestler Dennis Stamp, who has just been reported as passing away from his battle with cancer at the age of 68. After a lengthy career in NWA territories in the 1970's and the AWA in the 1980's, his appearance in the Beyond the Mat film made him a cult figure in the wrestling world and made "I'm not booked" a catchphrase. I know his friend Terry Funk must be heartbroken right now. Speaking of Beyond the Mat here's a tribute video from 2007 to his apperance in the film. 7:00 PM ET. Here's a video promoting the return of LAX on Thursday night. WWE has released their own video of Brock Lesnar vs. Kevin Owens at MSG. WWE is releasing a new album on March 17th you can pre-order now Chris Jericho and Big Show reminisce before tonight's final Raw at the Joe. I wish I could be there tonight. As both a Red Wings and a WWE fan the building holds a lot of sentimental value to me, but I'll just have to watch Raw at home and read Ian's Raw Recap instead. Enjoy the show! comments powered by Disqus |

* Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows beat Sheamus/Cesaro, The New Day and Enzo/Cass to retain the Tag Team Titles.
John Cena is making an appearance at SXSW today. (
ridiculous. I think he has done a phenomenal job in being Goldberg still to the best of his abilities, and surely they have done a good job with him. I'm happy for him and all that going on, but part of me still looks at that and is like, come on guys, is part of this because I left? Why wasn't he brought in when I was there for the last 5 years when that was the match that would have made absolute sense? I'm raising that point because I left and I really think it's all a game. I look and part of me believes it is because McMahon brought him in in spite of me. The marks who disagree just don't get it, but I'm bringing up a point, raising a question. Just like when I wrote the blog just when I left WWE about equal pay, not stating, but yet people will read it and say that he is demanding equal pay for all wrestlers, but I never said that, I had a clear question mark after raising a question and to have a conversation, but when you are dealing with a bunch of idiots that is what happens. I don't think they are going to put a lot of time in their match - from a bell to bell physical standpoint, I don't see that being the case. If they would have done it, they would have done so with Kevin Owens. There will be some shenanigans to switch that title over back to Brock Lesnar."
