(Offers tea to everyone coming into the chat) Hello humans. My name is Candice. Welcome to the LTW (Let Them Wrestle) TED Talk. You may all be seated at this point and time. You're so huggable. So, before we get started in here, like the Black Eyed Peas said, let's all take a deep breath. 3... 2... 1. Inhale. Now Exhale. Alright. Let's proceed, humans. I'm sure you are all huggable humans. You are! So, you all know when news broke about Naomi & Sasha Banks walking out of WWE a couple of weeks back? Why? Why did they walk out? Somebody talk to me! How did we get here, humans? Hmm? Cause and effect, people! Cause and effect! What is it? Everybody do me a good favor and go to Dictionary.com for me. Ok? I'm telling you do this for a reason. Now type in "Cause ...

There are so many things I love about professional wrestling, but I don't think anything tops watching a babyface get their moment. The weeks - months, really - leading to the big win are filled with uncertainty. Are we actually going to see this happen? Or is the rug going to be pulled out from underneath them just like last year? Liv Morgan has been able to get fans behind her for years. In 2019, a lot of fans started pinpointing her as a future world champion, taking note of how rapidly she had improved while with the Riott Squad. I believe there are fans who underestimate the impact Liv had in 2018 and 2019. Raw was in a rough spot in 2018. There wasn't a full-time men's champion, with Brock Lesnar effectively holding the title hostage. And the Women's Division, as usual, was lef...

When MSK first debuted in the then Black & Gold version of NXT, many, including myself, were excited to see the team formerly known as The Rascalz in WWE (even minus a member). Wes Lee (Dez or Desmond Xavier) was, to me, always the standout between he and Nash Carter (Wentz or Zachary Wentz), and now he finally has an opportunity to set his mark as a singles star. However, let's first revisit MSK's (and Lee's) journey in NXT since debuting in January 2021. MSK's arrival, rise, and fall in NXT and 2.0 MSK - comprised of Lee and the recently released Carter - found immediate success: they won the 2021 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day. They then won the (vacant) NXT Tag Team Championship for the first time in a triple threat match against their Dusty Classic ...

Another day, another piece of evidence that Vince McMahon is losing grip on the very basic definitions that form the foundation of the industry he claims to lead. With Vince McMahon being a coward at heart who isn't willing to speak to anyone on he record, we continue to learn of his presence behind the scenes through the words of others. The latest tidbit comes via Fightful Select as they recently spoke to former WWE NXT coach Scott Garland, better known to most fans as Scotty 2 Hotty. In the interview, Garland discussed the lack of communication behind the scenes as NXT shifted to their NXT 2.0 era. While the changes since the implementation of NXT 2.0 have gotten some positive reactions from many fans, Garland noticed several key changes like the departure of Adam Cole that none o...
