Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News - I’m Oli Davis, and to find out more about
the WrestleTalk Magazine, watch today’s first news episode.
In this episode, however, we have the ex-WhatCulture group’s new channel and an ex-TNA star turning
up in WWE, but first - it’s the news that’s shaken the wrestling world over the last several
weeks…
Space Mountain Architect Defends Milestone ...how many women has Ric Flair really slept
with?
Flair apparently claims in his upcoming ESPN 30-for-30 special that he’s slept with “roughly
10,000 women”.
Which TMZ’s logistics department calculate: “Flair is 68 years old — so if he started
banging at 15 … we’re talking an average of 188 women per year (or 3.6 women per week).”
But then Men’s Health disputed the figure, estimating it would take a combined 138.88
days of actual sex in your life to reach the 10,000 number - which would be almost impossible
alongside a full-time job.
Now, talking to NBC Sports Radio, The Nature Boy himself has defended his claims:
“Well, if you do the math, I started when I was in seventh grade, woo...
It doesn’t mean that everybody was Marilyn Monroe by any means, but I’m not far off,
wooo...
I was really good at three things: I wrestled, woo, drinking, woo, and talking, saying ‘goodnight’,
woo.”
Madison Rayne At WWE Performance Center PWInsider broke late last week that former
TNA Knockouts Champion Madison Rayne has been at the WWE Performance Center, and now WWE
themselves have confirmed the reports - listing “Ashley Lomberger, a sports-entertainment
veteran of more than a decade who competed nationally under the ring alias of Madison
Rayne” in the latest round of WWE tryouts.
It’s a pretty sudden and surprising appearance, as Rayne was thought to be working for TNA
creative, specifically handling their women’s division before Anthem bought the company
at the start of 2017.
It’s so surprising, PWInsider writes: “Rayne quietly departed TNA a few months ago, we
are told.
It happened so quietly, we never heard about it.”
Her real-life husband Josh Mathews is still the lead play-by-play announcer for the promotion.
WWE have reportedly been interested in Rayne since mid-July, when she was backstage at
a WWE taping in Nashville.
She’s been wrestling for over a decade, was part of TNA’s Beautiful People faction
and is a five-time TNA Knockouts Champion.
She’s tweeted since the news: “Humbled and grateful!
🙏🏼☺️” Elsewhere in the tryouts are undefeated 7-foot
tall Chinese boxer Taishan Dong, NFL free-agent Weslye Saunders and Karen Yu, who has wrestled
for Ring of Honor as Karen Q. Speaking of the hottest free agents in wrestling…
Adam Blampied New Project Revealed After counting down from the number 5 across
their Twitter profiles, the former WhatCulture Wrestling personalities Adam Blampied, Adam
Pacitti, King Ross, Jack the Jobber and Sam Driver have revealed their next project: Cultaholic.
The YouTube channel’s trailer shows King Ross bury his crown and cape, Pacitti commit
cardboard homicide - which is, coincidentally, the name of my prog rock band - Sam smash
an editing screen, Jack shoot a beanie hat, and Blampied strip down nude, burn his clothes,
and put on a Cultaholic-branded t-shirt.
Because if we’ve learnt anything from The Shield, it’s that you need a merchandise
range ready for your eventual reunion.
Check out the trailer for yourselves clicking the link above my head, and give them a subscribe
so you’re immediately notified when their first full video goes live.
And while you’re there, maybe comment that not only has it now been 28 days since WhatCulture
announced Blampied, Pacitti, King Ross, Jack and Sam’s departure.
It’s also been 28 days since Oli Davis called Blampied out.
Have major backstage plans for Survivor Series been leaked?!
And let’s look at 4 times Vince McMahon hired his bitter enemies.
