Lio Rush x Briana Brandy x Josiah Williams – “The Cypher” (Video)
October 16, 2019
Okay, y’all can hate if you want. But I subscribed immediately after the clip ended! The WWE’ers did great in “The Cypher.” Rap & ‘Rasslin? Nah, son. This ain’t no joke… Wrestle & Flow!
With the BET Hip-Hop Awards right around the corner, a few of us at WWE NXT figured we’d show some love of our own. This is The Cypher. Featuring Lio Rush, Briana Brandy and Josiah Williams. Be sure to check out NXT on the USA Network on Wednesdays at 8/7c.

Last Week Tonight With John Oliver On The ‘WWE’ (Video)
April 4, 2019
‘Last Week Tonight’ is such a brilliant mix of comedy and chat on serious matters. Perfect for covering what happens in the pro wrestling industry, in WWE in particular. Full disclosure: I love wrestling, too.
John Oliver discusses how the WWE takes care of its wrestlers — and how it doesn’t.

Based On A Pro Wrestler’s Real Life Story, “Fighting With My Family” Debuts Next Month (Trailer)
January 29, 2019
I will admit to being really biased here (huge ‘rasslin fan), but this looks like a really great movie! Based on the life of WWE Superstar Paige. That, this trailer and the casting pulled me right in!
Based on a true story, FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY follows reformed gangster Ricky, wife Julia, daughter Paige and son Zak as they make a living, wrestling together in tiny venues. When Paige and Zak get the opportunity to try out for WWE, the family grabs a once-in-a-lifetime chance to turn their wildest dreams into a dazzling future. However, brother and sister quickly discover that to become superstars, both their talent and their relationship will be put to the test.
FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY is a heartwarming and smart comedy that proves everything is worth fighting for when it comes to family.

WWE Superstars Took Offense At Conor McGregor’s Comments And Clapped Back! (Video)
December 24, 2016
Everyone knows professional wrestling is fake, but I still respect them because they are still athletes. With Conor’s comments he forgot that at the end of the day they are still men.

ESPN’s 30 For 30: This Was The XFL (Trailer)
December 12, 2016
This trailer is intriguing. Check it out.
ESPN, the world’s sports leader, is going to do a documentary on the XFL, the failed football league borne of and bearing more than a slight resemblance to Vince McMahon’s leading sports entertainment franchise, World Wrestling Entertainment. Any televised sport has to be entertaining enough to bring eyeballs and ad revenue, right? So maybe Vince thought he could put out an entertaining football program with no sweat. Whatever the motivations and machinations behind the result and resulting demise, we should learn something watching this 30 For 30.
(Speaking of learning something… Do you know what XFL stood for? Answer: It was NOT Xtreme Football League! It was not an acronym at all. Learned something already, huh?)

Ricky Velez Confronts Racism… In The Ring! (Video)
November 16, 2015
Wow! It’s been forever and a day since we’ve seen WWF’s WWE’s Virgil, muscle and manservant to The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase. Whoa wait-a-minute. Manservant? Isn’t that pretty much another term for slave? To get the answer, The Nightly Show correspondent Ricky Velez goes to the former WWE wrestler and former ECW wrestler Tommy Dreamer for some real answers…and some real training…enough to fake it and make it in an actual match…and dares to expose the truth about racism in professional wrestling. Oh, and the answer to that ‘manservant’ question? That’d be a ‘YES.’
“Wrestling is racist as f#ck, Larry.”
– Ricky Velez
Let’s start there.
And watch the two-part story, starting with part 1 above, for the whole story, exciting ‘finish’ (part 2 and bonus clip, after the jump) and discussion with host Larry Wilmore.
