• AEW Forced To Change Schedule Due To John Cena’s Final Match

• Bret Hart Says WWE Hall Of Famer’s “Ball Shot” Is A “Stupid Move”
During his interview on the Johnny I Pro Show, three-time WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart didn’t hold back. He openly criticized several big names from past and present, including Sheamus, Hulk Hogan and Jake “The Snake” Roberts, while also calling today’s wrestling “too fake.” He even admitted that he didn’t know who MJF was.
During the same interview, The Hitman also took aim at fellow WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, specifically mocking The Nature Boy’s signature uppercut low blow.
“I know Ric Flair likes to do that ball shot where he hits the guys between the legs and all that. Just so you know, I’m sure most people know, you’re never going to win a fight doing that. It’s just such a lame move.
I’ve never ever understood why on your knees doing this [uppercut] is supposed to hurt. Stupid move, but for some reason wrestling fans buy it all the time.”

• Legendary WWE Ring Announcer Confirms He No Longer Works For AEW
Former WWE ring announcer Tony Chimel has revealed that his AEW run is over. Speaking on the All Axxess Podcast, Chimel opened up about what it was like behind the scenes at All Elite Wrestling and how the company’s environment differed from WWE.
Chimel made it clear that his stint with AEW was positive from the start, noting that the people within the company helped create a welcoming environment.
“I always had a good time there. I mean, they’re a little smaller operation and, you know, run things a little differently but the people there are nice.”
Despite coming from the massive machine that was WWE, Chimel emphasized that AEW’s smaller scale didn’t take away from the professionalism or the experience.
One of the reasons Chimel felt so comfortable in AEW was the number of former WWE coworkers who had transitioned there, making the locker room feel familiar. “I knew a lot of WWE people there that are there now and stuff like that.”
AEW’s environment – more relaxed and less corporate – provided a refreshing change of pace for the veteran announcer, who spent decades juggling ring announcing, ring crew duties, and production office responsibilities in WWE.
While he didn’t compare the companies directly, he did acknowledge that AEW has its own way of doing things – and in a good way.
“It was a nice little run that I had there and very grateful for the time I had there, and you know they do their thing the way they want to do their thing.”
