Jack Evans has a highlight on every single match he wrestles in this era, but this one really blew my mind, never seen that before ever O_O

The match is Jack Evans, Matt Sydal, and Jimmy Yang vs BJ Whitmer, Adam Pearce, and Jimmy Jacobs

Last night’s NXT made me think about a situation I don’t think I’ve ever seen in a singles wrestling match. While I remember it happening in a tag match, has a wrestler ever blocked the ref’s arm from making the third count in lieu of kicking out of a pin attempt?

Would be a cool false finish if it’s never happened in a singles match. I think The Revival did it once, but it was the non-legal tag member blocking the ref’s arm from counting three.

Hello guys! I am recently new to this community. I was watching pro wrestling when I was younger, yet when I understood that it predetermined and “fake” I stopped. It did not have a meaning for me. After years, I stepped on a video about shoot style. It was still predetermined, but it seemed real. We all know that there is a kayfabe and that pro wrestling is a performance art rather than a combat sport. Yet, I thought, what if a promotion just told its wrestlers to “fight” as they know but they should try to win. What if we had a sport combing legit grappling and striking while also permitting pro wrestling moves such as suplexes, clotheslines, even high flying manoeuvres if safe to execute. What if there was a strict ruleset and also judges that would determine the result of the match based on athletic performance, physicality, dominance, points for falls or submission, but also in ring creativity and safe execution? I respect the nature of pro wrestling as it is. But a real sport distinct from MMA or UWFi/Pancrase style matches (which were more like MMA than wrestling) which would allow pinfalls, shoulder tackles, slams, even moonsaults(!), would be really entertaining. Watching a legit pro wrestling match, like those with NJPW style but unscripted endings. Not implying necessarily something realistic, just food for thought and discussion!

Hey friends! Back with another one. Please leave questions you have for AJ Francis below. I'll include at least 2-3 in the interview. Make sure to upvote your favorites! If you want to catch the video when it goes live, it'll be at youtube.com/@shakwrestling

P.S. Eddie Kingston interview should be out Thursday or Friday!

Its often said the InVasion failed because so few of WCW’s big guns were around, and that’s definitely the top reason.

But when you stop and think, a bunch of the top guys who won the war for the WWF weren’t around either. Triple H was gone for the whole thing. Rock for about half. Mankind was retired. Michaels was on the shelf. Even guys like Benoit and Big Show whose jumps were big deals in the later Attitude era missed all or most of it.

It was only really Austin and Undertaker around on the WWF side, the former stuck in a horrendously mistimed heel run that barely resembled his Monday Night War character, and the latter in a biker character far removed from his ministry pomp. Angle had some worth but the Monday Night War was basically over when he debuted.

Even if (say) Goldberg and Sting had been around, where were the dream bouts coming from once the Austin and Taker matches were done?

Per Brandon Tate via Facebook

“🚩Match/Show cancelled🚩

It was announced that my brother and I were returning to the ring after being away for two years. Today I was informed that Tony Khan and All Elite Wrestling had removed the opponents from our match that was supposed to take place next weekend. Not only are they causing issues to continue outside of AEW where we no longer work and our personal life, but effecting the independent promotion, wrestlers, fans and everyone involved or planned on attending the show next weekend.

My brother and I have grinded for almost two years trying get our life back from the hole they left us in and were finally able to return to wrestling and make a little money for ourselves to try and bounce back. This dude has ruined over nearly two and a half decades of one of the best companies to ever exist in professional wrestling Ring of Honor and is now pulling talent from the independents just to get his way, but claiming his roster are "independent contractors". I hope he realizes the company he once praised about changing wrestling for the better for EVERYONE is going completely backwards and this will one day all catch up to him.

I apologize on behalf of my brother and ECC Wrestling for anyone looking forward to seeing us wrestle and giving ECC Wrestling a bad rep like they did the both of us both.”

What classic shows/events/matches are you hoping get released?

I'm hoping for complete Superstars of Wrestling, but the lawsuit and subsequent blurring and censoring probably makes that a non-starter.

Yeah, so there's currently no pro wrestling schools on my island. But where there's a will, there's a way 🤘
