From TNA To NXT

Longtime contributor to this blog David emailed me two sets of match photos he took at a recent event. Yes, that's Robert "Bobby" Roode in the first set of pics and Austin Aries in the second, and no, this was not taken at a TNA event, but at rival company NXT's show. That's right, Roode and Aries have been signed to NXT and if they go over with the WWE fans, we might just be seeing them at RAW or SmackDown soon. Thanks to David for these amazing action pics!

Set # 1 - Bobby Roode

Recognize Roode's opponent? It's Shane Haste.

Set # 2 - Austin Aries

Muscle Monday : The All-American (Lex Luger)

On this edition of Muscle Monday, I thought it would be appropriate to pay tribute to our American friends' 4th-of-July celebration with a throwback feature on Lex Luger during his "Made In The USA/The All-American" persona circa 1993-1995. After Hulk Hogan left the WWE (as it was still called back then) in 1993, the company decided to turn Luger from a heel to a patriotic fan favorite. Luger continued to play out this character till his departure from WWE in 1995. You can read more about Luger here.

Clash Of The Millenials

From the UK, it's Scottish wrestler Noam Dar, 22, vs. English wrestler Tyler Bate, 19. Both Dar and Bate are millenials who started their professional wrestling careers at the tender age of 15. Boy, they sure start them young in the UK.

Your winner, Noam Dar!
