Professional wrestling latest news and competitions? A reliable product in a world of egocentricity. Since making his debut for WWE in 1990, The Undertaker has blazed a pathway of devastation through the company.

Britt Baker was the first woman signed to AEW, but her character has come a long way since then. Baker’s recent turn from wholesome dentist to bossy role model suits her well. Although she had always been cast as a babyface in the past, she said Cody Rhodes recognized her potential as a heel right away. When she finally did make her heel turn, fans told her they were reminded of Chris Jericho during his own role model days. Since then, she has watched countless Jericho videos for inspiration and is even mentored by Jericho himself on a regular basis.
Wrestling was probably the most popular sport of the ancient Greeks. Young men belonged to palaestras, or wrestling schools, as the focal point of their social life. Illustrations of wrestling on Greek vases and coins are common throughout all periods of ancient Greece, but all that can be told from it is that the style was loose wrestling and that wrestlers, as did all Greek athletes, competed naked. Wrestling was part of the Olympic Games from 776 bce. There were two wrestling championships in these games: a toppling event for the best two of three falls; and the pankration (Latin: pancratium), which combined wrestling and boxing and ended in the submission of one contestant.
It’s tough to keep winning streaks alive in today’s WWE. Except for Asuka’s incredible 914-day undefeated streak and Undertaker’s legendary streak at WrestleMania, there haven’t been too many impressive undefeated streaks to talk about in WWE, recently. Therefore, it’s impressive that Adam Cole did not take a pin in WWE for over a year. Before Keith Lee ended his run as NXT Champion, Adam Cole hadn’t lost a singles match via pinfall since winning the title at NXT Takeover XXV. Cole only suffered two DQ losses in his run as champion. Similar to Cole’s run, Becky Lynch, who wrestled her last match at WrestleMania 36, hadn’t had a loss via pinfall since losing to Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Money In The Bank in May, 2019. After losing to Flair, Lynch only suffered one loss in singles matches (via disqualification). The DQ loss came against Sasha Banks at Clash of Champions 2019.

Finishing just above his long time best friend HBK, The Game cemented his status as one of WWEs top guys during the 2000s. His standing ovation following his return from career-threatening injury at MSG in 2002 remains one of the company’s biggest ever crowd reactions. During his decade of dominance as a multi-time world champion, Triple H was also the architect behind Evolution and the rebirth of DX.
