• “These old guys need to stay out of what young guys are doing” – WWE Personality Defends Asuka After Goldberg’s Comments
WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg recently took a jab at Asuka, calling her “some girl” for surpassing his legendary 173-0 undefeated streak. Goldberg claimed that WWE allowed Asuka to break his record on purpose because he was one of WCW’s biggest weapons during the Monday Night Wars.
The Empress responded by saying that the comments didn’t bother her and added that records and championships naturally follow her wherever she goes.
Speaking on his Hall Of Fame podcast, Goldberg’s former opponent, NXT commentator Booker T, shared his thoughts on The WCW Legend’s remarks.
Here’s what he said:
“You know, I hate to say this because Goldberg’s a friend of mine. But I think these old guys need to stay out of what these young guys are doing. We had our time. For us to think about, in any way, knocking what these young guys and girls are doing today, it’s just totally out of bounds. We had our time, we ran hard, it was a great time.
For us to talk about what these young guys are doing right now in a negative way, I think it’s wrong in any way, shape, or form. Critiquing the wrestling is something we do.
I’m just glad I’m one of the guys who try to lean to the side that old school is cool, but we’re in a different era now.”
• WWE Star “In Pain” Following Match With John Cena
Logan Paul last appeared at WWE Clash In Paris back in August, where he lost to John Cena on the 17-time World Champion’s Retirement Tour.
In his latest vlog on YouTube, the former United States Champion gave an update on his health and revealed that he’s banged up from taking so many bumps inside the WWE ring. He said that he bought a high-end massage device to help his body recover after feeling sore from his matches.
“[Aescape CEO — this is the first one in history in any home.] So, I beat Tom Brady… But to be fair, bro, they’re not f**king jumping off the top rope. They’re not doing the frog splashes. They’re not Paul-verizing, bro. They don’t need it as much as me. I’m in pain, Eric. I’m in pain, bro. All I have is Prime and this massage table.”
In the same vlog, Paul also mentioned that he’s just waiting for a call from WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H to make his return.
• Penta Made Over $1 Million During WrestleMania 41 Weekend
During an interview on The Duke Loves Rasslin podcast, D-Von Dudley said Tony Khan isn’t the right person to book AEW’s product, and that the decrease in AEW’s TV ratings and ticket sales shouldn’t be blamed on the wrestlers.
D-Von praised AEW’s wrestlers and said if WWE had every single AEW wrestler, they’d be unstoppable.
Duke then gave examples of wrestlers who jumped ship from AEW to WWE and experienced success. He went on to make a big claim about Penta’s success in WWE:
“Penta made over a million dollars just selling masks alone during WrestleMania weekend. Just selling masks. He made that off merch. He never had a check like that from AEW… not a merch check.”
Penta competed in the Intercontinental Championship match at WrestleMania 41 earlier this year.
