Kenny Omega opened the door to Ibushi Pro Wrestling Research Institute, likely for the last time. He knew that this was his final chance to convince his best friend and the love of his life to come to the USA and join him in AEW.

The fight started with a few hard punches from Ibushi and before long Kenny had his neck broken. During the fight, Ibushi used his headgear to try to protect himself and Kenny's family from falling all over him.

Kenny survived the attack, but then he suffered another blow on his face which turned him into a shell of his former self. He did not understand why the other man was so willing to get punched so much.

Ibushi was in a very fragile state and Kenny continued to fight with him. The third and final attack from Kenny took out Ibushi's eyes and nose. With the help of his wife, Daphne, Kenny began receiving medical care from doctors in Canada.

Ibushi's face is still unrecognizable but he did survive the brutal beating that he endured.

That's right you heard the dream, the climax of life and death. I'm just saying that what if they didn't kill you, what if instead of getting their money they gave it to a charity instead? That'd make so much sense because then they'd have a chance to pay you back or something; there would be more than one chance for a human being to live and that's why you're in this condition but the world doesn't like to believe that, the system doesn't love me."

The man looked at me. The man with the red hair, the one with the white glasses and the green eyes smiled.

"What? How could you say that? You're from our species."

"Yeah. Yeah. The same one that created us! But still! You've given birth to an entire race. You're all just part of the same species, just as humans; what if it was the system that gave birth to you and you chose not to share with the rest of the humans?"

I've grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon's imaginary brass rings that it's finally dawned on me that they're just that. They're completely imaginary. The only thing that's real is me. And the fact that  that makes me the sole arbiter of what's real in the ring. And the fact that Vince and I are each other's personal arbiter. That means I get to take the "official" record in every match and tell you, as best as I can, how it happened. No one else gets to do that on TV. And the only person who gets to do that in real life is Vince McMahon and that means that we have our opinions and that they have to be our opinions for this show, which is the only reason a certain number of fans show up to watch my matches. 
I've seen wrestlers say things I've never heard before. I've been told to quit a lot of times. I've seen things I've been told not to say. I've been told to go back home and be a good sport because I do whatever people say. And I'm happy to go back home and play good sport. But they

Randy Orton revealed his new nickname: The Racist Snake. He said that this whole thing was about him having a secret identity to go with his famous, legendary reputation in the WWE.

The Racist Snake's new catch phrase was "gently caress you, I'm The Racist Snake!"

"I just came off a year where I was a world champion," Orton said to TMZ. "You know what, I just thought this is a very good thing and I'm going to go out and be the world champion for a while. I love everything about the WWE, the fans, everything. That's why I want to be The Racist Snake. Everything about me is just going to be so much better and for everyone to understand, I'm just the Racist Snake."

This is a great opportunity for WWE to give it to him in the first place by announcing his new nickname.

Talk about your Psalms, talk about John 3:16—Austin 3:16 says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." These things are very similar. They're even saying, "Let's not let God get away with this."

But then they say, "It says in Psalm 118, 'Hear the word of the Lord.'

"Hear, O Israel, the Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures.' (Psalm 118:1-4) And the Lord is my Rock, my fortress, my salvation. I will not want. I will not see strife or evil in the midst of my God, in the gates of my city or in its courts." He makes me lie down in green pastures. And then the Lord says, "I will be my servant. I will take away the anger from the earth, and I will bring to nothing the anger of the wicked." (Psalm 118:6-8) And the Lord will establish his covenant forever and ever and ever."

WWE Superstar Roman Reigns admits he faked having leukemia to get sympathy from fans, according to a new report.

The website Wrestling Observer reported that the WWE Superstar admitted to having leukemia in 2013 and claimed that the condition was fake news.

"Yeah, I'm like the kid who cried wolf," he said.

Roman also spoke about his feud with Samoa Joe, and his current bout with The Big Show.

"It's more the fans want to see this, the fans want to see Reigns succeed," he said. "So instead of me trying to prove that something's wrong, I just wanted to prove something positive."

He admitted he faked the condition because he wanted to get sympathy from fans.

"I know that what I did was wrong, but I wanted people to think I had leukemia because that was what it seemed like," he said. "I thought that if it looked too serious and there was no cure, I wanted to put it behind me. I don't regret anything. I'm still young, I'm still growing, I

Brad Shepard and Rovert stare each other down in the ring. The referee points to the timekeeper to ring the bell, and the match starts!

The match goes off without incident.

As the bell rings, Rovert and Garrick are forced to retire. Shepard is shocked and saddened by what has happened. It also causes him to lose some interest in the sport of professional wrestling, and he is never going to become a professional wrestler again. Shepard's career in wrestling is ended, but he has a career in writing.

It isn't an ending that Shepard wants. He was always a fan of writing and has been a fan of the sport of professional wrestling since he could even think to learn how to read. In his opinion, wrestling is the purest form of entertainment. Most wrestling shows have their audience in a full on frenzy, and the wrestling match is a true spectacle. Although wrestling is very violent, wrestling is also very violent and full of adrenaline rushes.

The violence in wrestling is so extreme that it brings out the worst in both the performers and audience.

After Brock Lesnar defeated Kofi Kingston in 8 seconds to win the WWE Championship, Rey Mysterio appeared on the ramp accompanied by two men. Rey walked up and said to one of the men, "We need to have a talk." The two men started shouting at Rey to not look like that again while the other one held up a gun, "Brock Lesnar," as he pointed it at Rey. "That's right. It's good to be the man, isn't it?" In response Brock then walked down to the ramp, grabbed the gun by the barrel and shot it at Rey. The gun went off and Rey fell to the ground. After Rey fell Bray Wyatt walked up to the ramp and said "I know you need to let Rey know you're coming for him." The two men started arguing while Bray pointed the gun at Bray.
Bray Wyatt walks up to the ring and says "There's no need to hide. Come in this door, it'll be easy."

After Brock Lesnar defeated Kofi Kingston in 8 seconds to win the WWE Championship, Rey Mysterio appeared on the ramp accompanied by a large, very fat, and very strange man. He was wearing a hat covered in tiny black spots and with a large, pointed black beard. I don't know if it was the mask or the hat that gave me a fright, but I didn't want to look at my watch. I was in shock that the first thing that I saw while walking around Rey was "I am NOT A MASK!" That being said, the masked man also looked familiar, which means he's either a member of the Undertaker's Death Squad or Mysterio is one of his henchmen. And I don't just mean henchman. That guy had an incredible mustache that covered one side of his face, which I'd bet is from the beard and the large hat. Then he got up and, without even looking in my face, started walking up the ramp toward the ring... which of course, no one could see due to the dark. After

The Mae Young Classic 3 has been announced, and the following women wrestlers will participate. There are eight events, so there will be four open matches and two championship matches. One of the matches will be the Mae Young Classic 3: Diva's Only Elimination Match, which will see Asuka, Summer Rae, Tamina, and Ronda Rousey in the ring.

All seven competitors have their respective weight classes. The main event will pit Team 3D vs. Team 5D, and the semifinals will see Team 5D v. Team 3D.

Injuries were always on the cards for the final three. The Mae Young Classic 3: Women's Championship will see the women compete after Summer Rae suffered a torn labrum in her ankle. It also means that Team Ronda Rousey and Team Brie Bella will not be involved. The women had been the top two seeds in the tournament.

It is also surprising that Summer Rae and Tamina were not invited along with Summer Rae and Carmella in the match. This is one of the most anticipated matches in the tournament.

This is where the "I don't give a d**k" mentality of Bushiroad can actually be seen, and you can actually see what makes Bushiroad pro wrestling different from pro wrestling everywhere. When you see George in Japan on this show, you see what pro wrestling is all about. We can actually see that at this show, and when Bushiroad matches are done in Japan on the Forum you see Bushiroad as some awesome pro-wrestling school. These are no short matches, which is exactly what Bushiroad fights for, and they win the respect of the crowd. This shows in the match and in the crowd as they support George Bush. What does this show mean for GEORGE W?

lyrics to the WWF Raw is War theme song from 1999:

Macho Man: What do you want, huh? Let me guess, you want a big ol' gun?

Stone Cold: Uh, not a lot, Mr. Macho Man.

Macho Man: Yeah, well, maybe one less bullet.

The two exchange a few blows. Macho Man starts to turn his back, but Stone Cold grabs his forearm and drags him along. Stone Cold is soon after getting a shot in on Macho Man, but it's not enough to get Macho Man down, as Macho Man has a large "Macho Man" written above his head.


Vince McMahon and Stone Cold welcome the crowd from the ramp, then cut to Stephanie McMahon holding a bottle of vodka (as if she's still getting ready to go to the ring). After the commercial break, Vince McMahon introduces El Generico and Stephanie, and that was it. After the commercial break, El Generico puts his hand on his face, to which Stephanie turns on him.

Cody then introduced "The Outcasts," saying they were the biggest problem on the island.

Jericho then introduced his group, and said he hates Dusty and his family.

Dusty then introduced his friend Tazz, who said he hates Jericho more than Cody. He asked Tazz if he could beat him in a match to determine who was the real Jericho.

Dusty then said he didn't know who Tazz was. He said it was Tazz's cousin, so he didn't care, and invited him to come to the house.

He then invited Tazz to join the Inner Circle.

Dustier then presented Dustin and Tazz as potential Inner Circle candidates. Both men accepted the invitation. Dusty then announced another candidate: his friend Randy Orton!
