Former WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio spoke...,
Former WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio spoke with Busted Radio to remember Eddie Guerrero on the 10th anniversary of his passing. During the appearance, Mysterio gave his thoughts on winning the World Title after Eddie's passing:
“No, especially not under those circumstances. I guess my career was heading in a different direction. We had just finished our feud with my son, Dominic, and the great story that Eddie put together and how much passion he threw behind that, that character that he was. He was ready to move on with Batista and I really don’t know where I was going, but that changed direction completely for, I believe, for everyone. So I really wasn’t ready at the time, but of course you’ve got to make the best out of it. This was a big opportunity for me and the people knew. The people knew that it was going down for Eddie. I was put on the spot, but I was there representing Eddie.”

Should Roman Reigns turn heel?
Should Roman Reigns turn heel?
There has been speculation and rumors this past week that Roman Reigns will turn heel at Survivor Series to win the WWE World Title and join The Authority. I think it makes perfect sense. Reigns turning heel on Ambrose in the finals of the World Title tournament would be an awesome idea! Because let's face it, the fans just don't like Roman Reigns. No matter what WWE tries to do they just can't get him over as a top face. But they can get him over as a top heel. It'd be exactly like when The Rock turned heel and joined Mr. McMahon back at Survivor Series 1998.

Who's retirement made you most sad?
Who's retirement made you most sad?
For me, it's gotta be Edge. Don't get me wrong, I nearly cried when "The Heartbreak Kid left the building," but Edge got me into wrestling. No exaggeration, he was actually the only real interesting thing to me at the time when I started watching, and he's from my hometown.
Anyway, I want to leave off on this note. You guys are awesome. You make wrestlers what they are, no matter the pain they go through, the surgeries, the absences, and the returns. Without you guys, there wouldn't be these incredible wrestlers like Edge, or HBK, or Daniel Bryan or Seth Rollins. And without you guys, pages on facebook wouldn't really be a thing either. I make a lot of jokes about the IWC, but we're all actually a part of it. Thanks you guys. You're awesome.

Seth and Hbk
Notice anything ? These two men are the two best from the past and present and there ain't no damn close second! Hbk is the greatest in ring performer of all time and SETH Rollings is walking right in his footsteps the similarities are ridiculous and I can say I am blessed to be alive to have seen HBK his whole career and now watch SETH take over the future!

The Bella Twins Comment On Being In Paris During Friday's Terrorist Attacks
- As noted, The Bella Twins were in Paris, France on Friday when terrorists carried out several coordinated attacks across the city, leaving more than 100 dead and several hundred wounded. They posted these comments this afternoon:
Brie Bella:
Last night I was enjoying the beautiful history and art in Paris at The Louvre. It saddens me how quickly something so beautiful can turn ugly. It breaks my heart in a million pieces to the victims of the terror attacks. You can feel the sadness here, but also the unity of the world. I was reminded so quickly how far world peace is.... but standing in the City of Love I know in the end love will prevail.
Nikki Bella:
Photo taken just an hour before the attacks happened. Here I stare at the Winged Victory of Samothrace. We all must stand united as one. I saw a City come together to protect one another. I thank the French people for our safety last night. They gave everyone amazing hospitality and protection and it didn't matter your race, religion or nationality. I will stand by France. I will pray for them. I will pray for peace. I pray that one day we all can live in this world together as one. But until that day I will stay fearless. Love. "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
The Rock Talks Getting Booed At WrestleMania As A Babyface, Becoming WWE's Hottest Heel
Former WWE and WCW Champion The Rock will appear on Sunday night's Oprah'sMaster Class, and OWN has released a clip to promote the show.
In the clip, The Rock opens up about being booed by 20,000 fans at WrestleMania 13 in Chicago.
"I had great angst every night I went out, because I wasn't able to be myself," Rock explained. He brought up about how during his first WrestleMania, the entire crowd chanted "Rocky sucks. Two weeks later, he tore his knee and was on the shelf.

"I came to the realization that it wasn't me personally that they didn't like. I wasn't being real, authentic. Who's this guy in wrestling smiling while he's getting beat?," Rock said. "I got a call from WWE and it was Vince McMahon, who said 'When you come back, we could continue to shove you down people's throats, or we could turn you heel, because they want to boo you anyway.'" Rock said that he agreed to the turn, but just wanted so say his piece to the crowd after.
This led to The Rock turning heel and joining the villainous Nation of Domination stable in 1997. The Rock addressed the crowd and cut his now historic heel promo.
"In that moment, The Rock was born. About a month later, I was the hottest heel in the company and things were on fire. The greatest lesson in that is to be you. In entertainment, whether it's in public, a celebrity, whatever. The most powerful thing you can be is yourself," Rock said.

Brothers Till The End: The Undertaker And Kane Story
The Brothers Of Destruction are back !
The Undertaker and his brother Kane reunited this past week on Raw and the brothers will be facing off against two members of The Wyatt family at the next PPV "Survivor Series"
Seeing these two legends in the ring after so long reminded me of how great WWE used to be, and the rivalries these two had throughout the years by fighting against each other or side by side. I'd like to take you back to where it all began (videos included) because Kane and The Undertaker have not always seen eye to eye and have had many battles throughout the years. It all started in 1997 and i was really excited for this great storyline match of Brother vs Brother but always felt this feud was lost in the shuffle during WM14 as Austin/Tyson/HBK was the focal point of that year. So i'm writing this article to show you where The Undertaker/Kane brother versus brother feud all started.
The year was 1997, Shortly after WrestleMania 13 Paul Bearer began threatening The Deadman with a secret that would destroy The Undertaker. Bearer revealed to the world that The Undertaker had set fire to his mother and father's funeral home, killing them and his younger brother, Kane.
The general idea was that Paul Bearer (get it?), The Undertaker’s manager at the time, years earlier had worked for the Undertaker’s parents, and ended up having a son named Kane with the Undertaker’s mother. Later, a teenage Undertaker started a fire that burned down the house, killing both his parents, and burned his brother, Kane, who was supposedly disfigured to the point where Undertaker thought he was dead.
Taker appeared in the arena from a lightening, as it was projected and accepted Kane’s challenge by saying that it would be the – ‘Resurrection of a damned soul’ and ‘Tormentation of a troubled past’ and the two superstars displayed their supernatural powers for a few weeks before Mania as shown.After Kane surprisingly saved Undertaker from an attack by D-Generation X, the duo had a brief partnership which ended after Kane betrayed Undertaker by costing Undertaker a casket match against WWF Champion Shawn Michael's for the WWF Championship.
He choked slammed Undertaker into the casket which helped in Michael's getting the win. After the match Kane and Paul Bearer locked Undertaker in the casket and set it ablaze.After disposing of his brother, Kane turned his attention to the rest of the WWE and seemingly had complete control until the Undertaker made a surprise return and proclaimed himself ready to face Kane. The two continued to feud.The match began with The Deadman and his brother face to face. The Undertaker would begin with a big strike. He takes a moment to see how it effects Kane before really getting into the deep end with him. This is important because I believe it is where the character of The Undertaker plateaus as the most dominant force in WWF. The Undertaker had made a career of dominating opponents, or trying to be conquered because of his immortality.
After that initial blow, the match moves into powerful strikes from The Undertaker who beats Kane into the corner. Kane strikes back with an elbow and tries to dominate The Undertaker. This back and forth battle for the upper hand continues for a good stretch of time in the match. The Undertaker’s defiance to stay down was fully matched by Kane’s desire to keep him down.
Both men are in peak physical conditionand the tempo picks up quickly for two big men to start off a match this fiercely. The power of Kanedominates the match for several minutes. He throws, pushes and batters The Undertaker around the ring, but The Undertaker fights back again. They trade bombs until The Undertaker attempts the Tombstone, but Kane reverses it into a Tombstone of his own that connects for another long long two count. The Undertaker drops Kane with a chokeslam then motions over his throat for the end and he connects with the Tombstone Piledriver hitting it 3 times before finally defeating his brother Kane.
New Stars Will Be Made In The WWE Next Year
Hi everyone. I'm in a happy and optimistic mood, so I'm going to take this time to discuss the current situation with the WWE roster. We're all aware of Seth Rollins being sidelined, and ironically enough, John Cena and Randy Orton as well. You know what means? There's barely any former WWE Champions on the roster, we're (almost) guaranteed to see new champions in the following year.
At the moment the mid-card is seriously competitive. Just think of all the new additions to the mid-card, and how WWE continues to use the IC and US Championships. There's so many guys who have flirted with the main event, but inevitably lost out to Seth Rollins, John Cena, Randy Orton, The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar at PPVs. Now's the time for the wrestlers to step up and do something different. Look at the New Day, they have transformed in to something I never thought possible; an entertaining heel stable with great fan reaction.
There's so much potential from long serving names like Ziggler, and Cesaro, but will they continue to live in mediocrity? It's a tough time for these guys especially, they know what the game is, and they know this is the time to step up and make a name for themselves. And there's so many others,Sheamus, Rusev, Ryback, all could be pushed to the main event scene in a moment's notice. It's time for the fans to decide who should reach the top of the mountain.

While Reigns is being groomed for success, I imagine some fans would feel disgruntled by him winning while Rollins is sidelined with an injury. I've said this before, but I think Reigns would benefit with more obstacles to overcome, let his first WWE title win happen further down the line, because Reigns is young, he's got plenty of time; and if he's pushed too soon, some fans will grow to hate him, like they do John Cena. His push needs to be organic, the majority of fans should be hoping to see it happen, not expect it as an inevitability.
And this is why I'm loving the show at the moment. You can see a revolution brewing, you can feel the power, you know that someone has to break through and do something memorable. So what about Ambrose? Is he ready? Some say he is, some say he isn't. I'll be honest, I'm not quite sure,.I would have preferred to see Ambrose beat his rival Seth Rollins for the title, that would have gone down like a nice cool beer after a hard days work. It's tough because with Seth Rollins out of the picture, finding an interesting rivalry for the title is difficult, because WWE has not built any other feuds outside the main event scene; the mid-card feuds tend to die out too quickly.
When you look at the roster, Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio are former WWE Champions. You have Big Show, who I feel has gone back to mid-card limbo once again. So who's left? Bring Sting back? At least if you brought Sting back and put the belt on him for a month, he could drop it to someone else and put them over. There's so many ways it could be done, but at the end of the day, it's a Vince McMahon decision, and we all know he doesn't always choose guys we want.
He's always going to back the cash cow. So while Reigns is likely to be the "The Man", I'm hoping for the sake of the wrestlers in mid-card limbo that one of them gets a chance to become main eventmaterial for the years ahead; Reigns has all the time in the world to be a star, and I'm sure he would benefit from a greal heel champion when his time arrives.
Who would I like to see in the main event? I'm just asking that question so I can answer it for you.Kevin Owens would be an excellent heel champion, he's easily as good, if not better than Seth at drawing heat, he can use a mic, he can work a match with anyone, he's got everything you need to hate him. On the other side of the coin, if Sheamus is ever going to be the top heel WWE thinks he can be, it has to be done sooner than later. Having Sheamus hold the briefcase for months will not help his character; since when did tough Irishmen have patience?
As far as babyfaces go, Ambrose was one of the most popular guys (loudest pops) when Daniel Bryanwas injured (and a few others), and he had so much momentum on his side, but it was cut short by the returns of guys like The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, Daniel Bryan and others, so I feel like he needs to recapture the magic if the higher-ups gets behind him. Aside from that, I'm not seeing many exciting babyfaces, I only see the exciting talent on NXT with Finn Balor andApollo Crews. Perhaps we'll see both of them on the main roster in 2016? That would be fun to see. However, NXT is a different topic, and I've rambled on long enough, I've wasted enough of your time, so I'm going to wrap this up by saying the WWE is being forced to create new stars, and that's not a bad thing .. it's a good thing!
Vince McMahon Reportedly “Back and Forth” on Daniel Bryan’s Ring Return
According to The Wrestling Observer, the very latest on Daniel Bryan’s WWE in-ring status is that company officials are waiting on the results of a third doctor’s findings as it pertains to Bryan potentially returning to the ring.
As noted, WWE Doctor Joseph Maroon concluded in the past that Daniel Bryan should not wrestle again due to the number of concussions he had suffered. However, Bryan sought the advice of his own doctor, who works with the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals, and that doctor concluded Bryan’s brain tested above average for his age and cleared him to wrestle.
The Observer is reporting that the third doctor’s results might already have been submitted, as Vince McMahon is said to be going “back and forth” on whether or not to put Bryan back in a WWE ring.
WWE Live Event Results (11/13)
1. Neville vs Stardust
Neville got a huge pop and won via the Red Arrow.
2. Fandango & Damien Sandow vs Adam Rose & Heath Slater
Fandangoing is still a thing in the UK and Sandow got a good reaction. Rose got a lot of heat but Heath Slater got zero reaction. Fandango & Sandow won.
3. U.S. Title – King Barrett vs Jack Swagger vs Alberto Del Rio
Barrett was cheered at first until he got a mic out and cut a promo about Rooney and how bad the local sports teams are. Loads of Rooney chants.
Del Rio and Barrett ganged up on Swagger early on before turning on each other. Del Rio won after making Swagger tap to the Cross-Armbreaker.
4. Harper, Rowan and Strowman vs The Usos and Ryback
The Usos got a huge pop for their entrance. Was a slow match with Wyatts winning after Strowman made Jey Uso pass out.
Intermission.
5. Naomi and Sasha Banks w/ Tamina vs Becky Lynch and Bayley
Team BAD were cheered at first before they cut a promo about Nottingham. Becky got a small pop whilst Bayley got zero reaction.
Was a really good match but the crowd weren’t into it at all. Becky Lynch made Naomi tap out to the Disarm-Her.
6. Tag elimination match – Lucha Dragons vs Los Matadores vs The Ascension
Crowd got behind Lucha Dragons due to their athleticism. Los Matadores were about to pin Kalisto before El Torito came out to Bad To The Bone and attacked both Matadores with hurricanranas. Lucha Dragons then quickly took advantage, eliminating both teams within about 30 seconds in what felt like a rushed finish.
7. Bray Wyatt vs Roman Reigns – No Holds Barred
Reigns got an enormous pop. The stipulation was used to full effect with Kendo Sticks, chairs and even a few tables used (including one which broke as Wyatt attempted to set it up). Reigns won after whipping Wyatt into a chair set up between the turnbuckles and then hitting Wyatt with the Spear.
Triple H trying to pursue Roman Reigns into joining The Authority.
We all saw Triple H trying to pursue Roman Reigns into joining The Authority. We know Reigns showed no interest in joining Hunter and his squad, but he sure as hell got into the WWE World Heavyweight Championship when he had it in his shoulder. Which makes me think: what if the plan is this?
So Roman and Dean Ambrose reach the Finals of the tournament to main event Survivor Series. They go one on one for the first time since never in the WWE. It has the potential to be HUGE! At the midpoint of the match, Triple H comes out to watch along with Big Show and someone else who might join The Authority between now and then, or maybe Triple H recruits the European Ultras and they join. So during that time, the Ultras and Show distract both Roman and Dean. Closer to the end, Ambrose hits Dirty Deeds on Reigns, and as the pinfall is getting to 3, Big Show pulls the referee, and the Ultras join Show to attack Ambrose. Reigns goes to get two steel chairs, hits Show with one, Ambrose gets the other one and hits Sheamus and Barrett with his. While they retreat, Ambrose gives his back to Roman, and Reigns hits Ambrose with his chair, betraying his brother and joining The Authority who helped distract Dean to him reaching his dream. After the chairshot, he Spears Ambrose and captures his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Following Survivor Series, Roman and Dean feud for the title, and for Dean's revenge against his former brother. They settle it in a TLC Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at TLC.
