The Bullet Club claim they have sold over 400,000 t-shirts By  Tommy Messano   on  November 30, 2017 7:30 pm Wow, that deal with Hot Topic is just too.....you know what never mind. Thanks to their recent announcement of  a planned 10,000 seat arena show in 2018 , The Bullet Club and Cody Rhodes are back in the crosshairs of the pro wrestling community at-large. A big stick pointing of the tentatively scheduled indie wrestling Super Bowl is who would finance the event? Well if you believe The Bullet Club themselves, their t-shirt deal with Hot Topic is doing very good and at this rate maybe the “All In” supershow may be financed on the backs of Rhodes, Bucks, Omega, Scurll and Page’s t-shirt sale. I can't see them selling 400,000 t-shirts in a 4 month period, but who am i?

Jack Swagger to MMA:  Will He Succeed? By:  Mad Dog Gil Guillory  Excerpts from article by  Jonathan Snowden who covers combat sports for Bleacher Report. Jack Swagger/Jake Hager can still remember the roar of the crowd, more than 80,000 strong, when he challenged Alberto Del Rio for the WWE championship at WrestleMania 29. As Jack Swagger, he had polarized the WWE audience with his strong  anti-immigration views , employing the catchphrase "we the people" and eventually ending up in a brief online feud with  political commentator Glenn Beck .          Unfortunately for Hager, that was back in 2013 and, in the world of wrestling, four years might as well be an eon. He'd spent most of his time since in seemingly pointless feuds or, worse in his mind, aimlessly drifting on WWE's B-programming, present but not taking part. It was time for something new. But what? While trading wins back and forth on the deep undercard ...

Dan Severn responds to Ken Shamrock: ‘Am I gonna stick around forever for a turd like him?’ Dan Severn still wants to fight Ken Shamrock but doesn’t see it happening. by  Nick Baldwin @NickBaldwinMMA  at bloodyelbow.com Dan Severn  and  Ken Shamrock  both want to fight each other, but it seems the bout probably won’t happen.  If you ask Shamrock why , he will tell you he is about to have his knee replaced, and any sort of competition is out of the picture for now. If you ask Severn why, it’s because Shamrock is full of excuses. Severn and Shamrock were scheduled to meet for the third time at UR Fight 1 in March 2016 — nearly 20 years after their rematch at  UFC 9 . But just over a week before the event, Shamrock was forced off the card. He first cited an injury as the cause for the bout cancellation. In reality, he was suspended 90 days by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) after testing positive for a steroid a...

The Young Bucks  and  Cody Rhodes  are planning something big for 2018.   Multiple   sources have reported the  Bullet Club  members are in talks with multiple venues to put on a 10,000 seat event. As you may recall,The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer tweeted earlier this year saying  ROH  wouldn’t sell out a 10K seat show “any time soon” and  Cody responded saying  he’d “take that bet.” Sources tell us the wrestler has been dedicated to making it happen since, so the trio recently decided to take things into their own hands by self-financing the event — which is tentatively being called “All In” — and things have been rapidly progressing the past few weeks towards an official announcement. Cody  tweeted a photo last weekend  showing the group on a scouting mission with  Marty Scurll . We’re told the current front-runner locations for the show are Chicago, London, San Francisco and Ontario, Calif...
