Wrestling news and competitions? The vintage star of WWE, Rik Flair aka The “Nature Boy”, was one of the 80s most gifted wrestlers. He held the NWA/ WCW World Heavyweight Championship more than any other wrestler. Unfortunately, the lack of attention in NWA/WCW compared to WWF was disadvantageous to Flair. Flair will be known for his unbelievable set of marathon matches with Ricky Steamboat. He now holds his place in the No.9 spot among the best wrestlers of all time.
As of this writing, Aubrey Edwards is AEW’s only lady referee, but she’s not afraid to stand up to the boys whenever they get out of line. Although she is a talented referee and performer, she actually spent the last 10 years as a video game programmer in Seattle before signing on to AEW. Edwards credits Zelda, her favorite video game series, for inspiring her to become a programmer. In addition to programming, Edwards used to be a classically trained dancer, which she occasionally posts about on Instagram. Fans of Aubrey Edwards can catch her each week on AEW Unrestricted where she hosts alongside Tony Schiavone.
Wrestling can also be classified in terms of what is required to win. These categories can be graded on an ascending scale of violence as follows: break-stance sports are those that require forcing the opponent to relinquish a certain posture or position; toppling requires that the standing opponent be forced to touch the ground with some part of his body other than his feet; touch-fall wrestling requires that the opponent be forced into a certain position, usually supine, for a brief instant; pin-fall wrestling requires that the opponent be held in such a position for a measurable length of time; and submission wrestling requires the opponent to vocally or visually signal defeat by his own choice.
WWE’s TV ratings in the USA has seen a sharp decline in recent times. Ratings for WWE’s weekly shows have consistently gone down over the last two decades. The ratings dip has become more critical with each passing year. Recently, Raw’s ratings plummeted alarmingly as the July 13th episode of Raw averaged 1.561 million viewers. However, there’s another side to this story. While WWE’s TV ratings have gone down, content consumption over other mediums has hit record highs. A report by wwe.com stated: WWE set WrestleMania Week viewership records with more than 967 million video views across the company’s digital and social platforms including WWE Network, WWE.com, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat, an increase of 20 percent year-over-year.

From his early days as the Legend killer to his modem gimmick as the Viper, the third generation star burst onto the scene as part of Evolution. He became the youngest world champion in WWE history in 2004 at age 24 and his RKO finisher has since become one of wrestling’s most popular finishing moves. The most electrifying man in sports entertainment has been a trailblazer for wrestlers to forge a path into the mainstream entertainment business. The Rock was towards the end of his legendary WWE run during the 2000s before he cemented his name as Hollywood’s highest-paid actor Dwayne Johnson. Nevertheless, his icon vs icon match against Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania X8 in 2002 cemented his legacy as one of the best of all time.
