Mike Rallis, the former Riddick Moss is returning to the wrestling ring. Rallis made the announcement on Twitter this week that he’ll be facing Chris Masters for the Stu Hart Heritage Championship at Bret Hart Presents Australian Stampede in Victoria. The event takes place on Saturday, April 13th. This is the first match for Rallis after he was released from WWE last September.  The weekend is being promoted by Starrcast and Oceania Pro Wrestling. It takes place from April 11th to April 14th. They’ll be honouring the Hart Family Down Under. Fans can buy tickets to meet Bret “The Hitman” Hart as well as many other wrestlers and personalities like Mickie James, Eric Bischoff and The Great Khali.  I was a fan of Riddick Moss in WWE. With his look and intensity he had the look to be a future World Champion in WWE. It never quite clicked. I thought his career might take off when he was paired with his real life fiancé (now wife) Emma but it didn’t. Speaking of Emma, she’ll be appearing at t

  Nick Aldis lost the NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) World Heavyweight Championship to Cody Rhodes at All In 2018. Speaking to Inside the Ropes, Nick Aldis says he felt a bit betrayed when he found out how well everyone else knew Tony Khan. He felt there were plans for All Elite Wrestling happening then. Nick clearly wasn’t included in those discussions.   “I felt a little bit betrayed when I found out that they were all familiar, they were all aware of Tony Khan and they had been sort of plotting this thing. And so then as we progressed a couple of months forward it's sort of like, 'Oh, that's already happening, that's sort of a done deal.' In that respect, I guess I felt that I could have been informed of that sooner.  But I just looked at it from the perspective of, well, that piece of business, meaning Cody and I at All In, that did nothing but good things for everyone involved. It wasn't like people looked and went, 'Oh, he's finished.’”  In hind

Ridge Holland has had a wild career trajectory throughout and his next step could be the wildest. Retiring. On last night’s WWE NXT, Ridge Holland announced that he’s stepping away from wrestling. This is leaving many fans wondering if it’s a work or a shoot?  I personally am hoping this is a work because I think Ridge has a lot of potential. Is he the greatest in ring wrestler? No. But he’s an athlete and looks like a guy you wouldn’t want to mess with at a bar. Which is essentially what his gimmick has been so far. A big barroom brawler.  Maybe this retirement angle will lead to Ridge breaking out of that character. Into a character with more depth. We’ll see if Ridge can do that. That is assuming this is a work. Who knows? Maybe we did see the end of Ridge Holland’s career on last night’s NXT.  Give me your thoughts in the comment section below. 

Tonight’s Monday Night Raw takes place live from Chicago, Illinois. The currently injured hometown hero, CM Punk will be appearing in front of the live, roaring crowd at the Allstate Arena. You can expect a massive ovation for CM Punk. CM Punk in Chicago is like Bret Hart in Canada, back in 1997.  You can expect more build towards the main event matches at Wrestlemania. We’re just under two weeks to go so you can expect Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins to have some interaction. You should also see Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins try to grow some chemistry before their tag team showdown with The Rock and Roman Reigns at the Show of Shows. We’ll also see some more development in the feud between Sami Zayn and Intercontinental Champion Gunther.  The following matches have been announced:  Jey Uso vs. Shinsuke Nakamura Sami Zayn vs. Bronson Reed Ricochet vs. JD McDonagh Ivy Nile vs. Candice LeRae Andrade vs. Ivar Does anything catch your eye? I think Jey Uso vs Shinsuke Nakamura could be a very

All Elite Wrestling’s Big Business event takes place tonight live from TD Garden. This show is expected to feature the debut of Mercedes Monè the former Sasha Banks in WWE. AEW has spent weeks hyping up her debut and fans online are extremely excited about this. Are you?   While you can’t deny her talent, not everyone is a fan of Mercedes Monè. I hope she has the impact that most think she will. She has a chance to prove that she’s an actual superstar and not just a product of the WWE machine. AEW needs a name like her to help the Women’s Division.  With Mercedes Monè you get a wrestler who main-evented a Wrestlemania in the past    5 years. You get a wrestler in who’s in the prime of her career. Most importantly, by all accounts you get a fully healthy Mercedes.  I hope she can elevate the Women’s Division in AEW. There’s enticing opponents like Toni Storm, Britt Baker, Saraya and Deonna Purrazzo. I can’t wait to see who she starts feuding with first. I wonder if you’ll see her try to

WWE announced today that Muhammad Ali is going into their Hall of Fame. The late boxing great remains arguably the best heavyweight boxer ever. While he’s more known for his boxing achievements, Muhammad Ali certainly made an impact on the wrestling world.   He was the Special Guest Outside Referee of the main event of Wrestlemania 1 between Hulk Hogan and Mr. T vs Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff. Vince McMahon wanted the first Wrestlemania to be a landmark for both sports and entertainment. Getting a name like Muhammad Ali to be involved in the show was a huge get for the WWF at the time.  Muhammad Ali was involved in a highly publicized fight with wrestling legend Antonio Inoki in 1976. “The War of Worlds” On June 26th, Ali and Inoki fought to a 15-round draw at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan. The match is seen as the precursor to mixed martial arts. While Ali’s involvement in the fight brought him criticism from those in the boxing world, you can’t deny how big of an impact this f
