Wrestler Birthdays: May 17th, 2023! Happy Birthday Cash Wheeler!



Today, on May 17th, 2023, the wrestling world comes together to celebrate the birthdays of several notable figures who have left an indelible mark on the industry. Join us as we extend our heartfelt wishes to Earl Hebner, his late twin brother Dave, WCW alum Alex Wright, and AEW Tag Team Champion Cash Wheeler.




Earl Hebner, who turns 74 today, has had a storied career in professional wrestling, most notably as a referee. Known for his distinct personality and authoritative presence, Earl became a trusted figure in the ring, officiating countless historic matches. His contributions to the industry span over five decades, making him one of the most recognizable and respected referees in the business. Today, we honor Earl for his invaluable role in ensuring fair competition and creating unforgettable moments throughout the years.


We also take a moment to remember Earl's twin brother, Dave Hebner, who would have turned 74 today. Dave, who passed away in 2022, shared a deep connection with his brother Earl, both in and out of the ring. As a referee himself, Dave contributed to the wrestling landscape, leaving behind a legacy of professionalism and dedication. While Dave may no longer be with us, his impact on the industry continues to be felt, and we celebrate his life and contributions on this special day.


Joining the birthday celebration is Alex Wright, who turns 48 today. As a former WCW standout, Wright captured the attention of fans with his unique blend of athleticism, charisma, and dance-inspired moves. His energetic performances inside the ring earned him a devoted following, and his contributions to WCW's cruiserweight division will forever be remembered. On this day, we wish Alex Wright a happy birthday and look back fondly on his exciting in-ring career.


Last but certainly not least, we extend our warmest wishes to Cash Wheeler, who turns 36 today. As one-half of the dominant AEW Tag Team Champions FTR, Cash has been making waves in the wrestling world with his partner Dax Harwood. Their technical prowess, old-school approach, and undeniable chemistry have made them a force to be reckoned with. On his special day, we salute Cash Wheeler for his dedication to the craft and wish him continued success as he and Dax continue to dominate the tag team division.


Birthdays serve as an opportunity to reflect on the impact individuals have made and express our appreciation for their contributions. Today, we celebrate the lives and careers of Earl Hebner, Dave Hebner, Alex Wright, and Cash Wheeler. Their passion, talent, and commitment have enriched the wrestling industry, and we eagerly anticipate what the future holds for each of them.


Join us in sending these wrestling icons warm birthday wishes and raising a toast to their remarkable journeys. Happy birthday, Earl Hebner, Dave Hebner (in loving memory), Alex Wright, and Cash Wheeler! May the year ahead be filled with health, happiness, and continued success.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

     Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving  WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years.       How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

  John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair.  Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody.  If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent.  Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him.  Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
