  • Shiloh Hill Explains The Origins Of His Missing Tooth

    Shiloh Hill Explains The Origins Of His Missing Tooth

    Shiloh Hill has been really making a name for himself during his time on WWE NXT.

    Whether it be his burst of energy in the ring, his wild online personality of searching on the Dark Web, or his lost tooth that has become a signature look of his. Shiloh Hill has definitely been making his own impact in his own way.

    While talking on the Mark Moses Show, Hill talked about the origins of how he lost his tooth.

    “The first time I ever got my tooth knocked out my cousin shot me in the mouth with a BB gun. I got it fixed, and later I got it punched out in a fight. I did play hockey when I was younger, and I got it knocked out a couple of times in hockey. Got it fixed, got it knocked out one time in football, got it fixed, and when I came here, we do these PC live matches, and I got hit with a chair, and it came out. It broke the rest of the fake tooth out. I even got it fixed in LFG, and I bit into a slice of pizza, and it broke off again,” he said.

    Hill was the winner of the second season of WWE LFG.

  • Nattie: I Want To Get More Women On WrestleMania All The Time

    Nattie: I Want To Get More Women On WrestleMania All The Time

    Nattie has been consistently pushing for the WWE to feature more women on their WrestleMania cards.

    For the last couple of years, Nattie, one of the biggest veterans in the WWE today has been pushing for the WWE to involve more women on the Grandest Stage of Them All. However, many of those pitches haven’t gone in one ear without going through the other when it involves other higher-ups in the WWE.

    “One thing, when I pitch ideas and it really helps, be inclusive. I make sure lots of women are included,” Nattie said on Busted Open Radio.

    Chelsea Green, who was a guest on the show, confirmed Nattie’s willingness to involve others, saying, “Nattie is the queen of that. Every WrestleMania, Nattie is the number one pitcher for a women’s battle royal or multi-women tag match. Every year.”

     

    Nattie continued, “Three years in a row, I went to Vince (McMahon) and said, ‘I want to do a women’s gauntlet match. The winner of the gauntlet match gets to face the tag team champions the next night. I want to do a women’s fatal four-way where it’s four tag teams fighting for the title.’ I just want to get more women on the show all the time.”

    There have been multiple women’s tag team matches at WrestleMania, but a Women’s Gauntlet has not been held at WrestleMania since Nattie started pitching the ideas to Vince McMahon, and now to other higher-ups in the WWE.

  • Ronda Rousey: Wrestling Is The Purest Form Of Fight Choreography

    Ronda Rousey: Wrestling Is The Purest Form Of Fight Choreography

    Ronda Rousey spoke about her transition from the world of Mixed Martial Arts to Professional Wrestling.

    On May 16, Ronda Rousey looks to change her ending in the sport of MMA when she headlines the first-ever MVP MMA card against the returning Gina Carano. Rousey hasn’t fought since 2016, Carano hasn’t fought since 2009.

    Before making the decision to fight one more time, Rousey had a new career in pro wrestling with her arrival in WWE for a couple of years where she would go on to become a multi-time World Champion and won the 2022 women’s Royal Rumble.

    When asked about the transition from one sport to another, Rousey talked about her life in acting and how she found herself joining the sport of pro wrestling.

    “I feel like MMA was a good segue because being purely an athlete was doing judo in the Olympics. Being an athlete that also has to entertain was MMA and having to learn how to be on camera and stuff like that, which I used to be petrified of public speaking. Then that was kind of like a good segue. I started acting more in action films and stuff like that, or I could do fight choreography, and that kind of segued me into pro wrestling, which I feel like is the purest form of fight choreography.”  Rousey spoke with Whistle.

    Rousey will fight Carano at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California for the debut of MVP MMA which also features the MMA return of Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry, plus Francis Ngannou vs. Phillipe Lins.

    Joe Hendry: I’ve Recorded An Album With WWE, It Drops This Summer

    Joe Hendry is ready to take on bigger billboards.

    Joe Hendry has taken the world by storm, from his infectious creative mind to the way he captures the audience in whatever he does. Now, the former TNA and NXT Champion is planning something huge in the next couple of months.

    “I haven’t told anyone anywhere, but I have recorded an album with WWE Music, and it’s going to drop this summer. We recorded most of that in New York at the WWE Studios. So what I’ve done now is the microphones that we have there, I have basically replicated the setup back home now, so I don’t need to fly to New York to do it. I can send stuff in, and we can work on it back and forth. So that’s one of the things that makes these songs work, is because they’re fast and they’re topical, so we can basically, we obviously did the Logan Paul song on TV, but we were able to just get it done that week, because we could send files back and forth. But yes, there is an album coming out.” – Joe Hendry said to Chris Van Vliet

    Hendry’s Raw debut has gone according to plan, from getting the crowd to chant “Fire Logan Paul” to having good backup with the Street Profits, the debut album with WWE music should be exciting to see.
