  • Joe Hendry Releases Music Video For “Can We Fire Logan Paul?”

    Joe Hendry Releases Music Video For “Can We Fire Logan Paul?”

    Joe Hendry is really digging the knife deep into the back of Logan Paul. Two weeks ago, Joe Hendry debuted on Monday Night RAW to perform a new song titled “Can we fire Logan Paul?”.

    Obviously, this just pissed Logan off and started a brawl. Then this past Monday, Joe did it again, only furthering Logan’s anger. At this point, Joe Hendry is just trolling hard because he’s now released a music video for the song, and even has a cameo with Adam Pearce!

    Logan isn’t going to be happy with this one!

    Four Matches Official For Special Three Hour AEW Dynamite-Collision

    AEW Dynamite on Wednesday will also see a one hour AEW Collision following the show, making this Wednesday a three hour special on TBS & HBO Max. For the event, four big matches have been revealed, including an AEW World Championship Match that was at up last week.

    As we know, Kevin Knight stepped up and challenged Darby Allin for the AEW World Championship and after Kevin successfully defeated MJF to retain his TNT Championship last week, Darby has granted Knight the opportunity for Wednesday.

    Plus, after Juice Robinson defeated The Death Riders in tag action on Collision, he will get a shot at Jon Moxley in a championship eliminator match. But, that’s not the only championship stakes on the show.

    Orange Cassidy and Dax Harwood will battle in a double Jeopardy match. If Cassidy wins, he will get a shot at the AEW Tag Team Championships. But, if Dax wins, he will get a shot at the AEW Trios Championships.

    Plus, in tag team action, these four ladies will finally, hopefully, settle their differences as Mina Shirakawa and Harley Cameron take on the new team of Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida.

  • The Former Rick Boogs Doesn’t Think He’s Done With Wrestling

    The Former Rick Boogs Doesn’t Think He’s Done With Wrestling

    Rick Boogs, now going by his real name Eric Bugenhagen, is a former WWE superstar who’s now staring on the revamped season of American Gladiator.

    While he’s still jacked and kicking ass on the show, he recently sat down for an interview with Chris Van Vliet where he revealed that he doesn’t think he’s done with wrestling just yet.

    When asked, he simply said “I don’t think so, man.” When asked if 2 and a half years ago he wasn’t sure, Rick responded with “I was a little soiled, sour flavor in my mouth.”

    He went on to explain that he is more open to it now after years have passed and he’s gotten older.

    “Yeah. I mean, as I get older and wiser. 3 years, you’ve almost graduated high school. That’s a freshman to a senior. Look at how much you’ve developed in that point in time. Or in college, baby-faced freshman to, like, grizzled, a real man. I’m going out to the real world. But I’m also glad, though, because if anything would have happened, it’s hard, man, pro wrestling is tough. What if I had a kink in my shoulder, I can’t do the tryout, I can’t do any push-ups. So I missed the try-out for American Gladiators because of that. Or what if I can go but I got a kink in my shoulder, and I can only do 6 push-ups instead of 100.”

  • Eric Bugenhagen Reveals How He Got On American Gladiator’s Radar

    Eric Bugenhagen Reveals How He Got On American Gladiator’s Radar

    Eric Bugenhagen is a former WWE superstar. You may know him as Rick Boogs. Now, he’s on the revamped series of American Gladiator. If there’s anyone that looks the part, it’s definitely him.
    Recently, Eric sat down with Chris Van Vliet and was asked how he got onto the radar of American Gladiator. For him, he explained how he reached out himself.

    “I just found an email address for a casting director that was involved in that. Emailed them, ‘Hey, my name is Eric Bugenhagen. I hoist, heft and heave mega loads.’ Sent some clips and stuff whatnot, told him what I’ve done in the past. They said, Okay, we’ll set you up with the Zoom call. So give me the Zoom call a couple of days later, and I don’t know what to expect. Luckily, I have the 20,000 hours of promo practice from the WWE Performance Center. If that Performance Center has done anything well, for me, I don’t know about anyone else, but grinding those promos in. Because I learned if you wanted to stand out in that business, you got to be different.”

    When asked how he blew them away in the zoom call, Eric revealed that he actually first had to pitch a gimmick.
    “First and foremost, I know you gotta have a gimmick. You gotta be recognizable. ‘Who is this guy?’ One sentence: Who is he? So what I pitched was, I’m The Max. I’m The Maximum. Maximum entertainment value, maximum intensity, right? So I said, ‘I am The Maximum, aka The Max, you will call me The Max.’ They asked me a bunch of questions about where I’m from, if you had 30 seconds or whatever, you just whooped someone’s ass, what would you say? That kind of stuff. So I felt like it was grand slam home run. But then months go by and I never hear back, and I’m like, wow, now I can see why WWE fired me. I just don’t have what it takes. But apparently, they were just extending. They wanted to be sure they had the cream of the crop.”

    Update On LA Knight, Scheduled Program Being Shelved

    LA Knight is a busy man outside of the ring. But, many fans were wondering what would be next for him after his WrestleMania victory over The Vision and Speed.

    Well, sources indicated to Bodyslam+ that LA Knight was scheduled to have a short program with Gunther before the company pivoted to Gunther heading to SmackDown to challenge Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. It is currently unknown what Knight’s creative direction will now be but he is still with the company.

    LA Knight is still in the mix with WWE right now, as Knight was in Minnesota over the weekend promoting SummerSlam including throwing out a pitch at the Minnesota Twins game.

  • Update On TKO Pay Cuts

    Update On TKO Pay Cuts

    The last few days have seen a whirlwind of discussion on WWE & TKO handing out pay cuts to their WWE superstars. Word emerged yesterday that a talent was recently asked to take a 50% pay cut and agreed to do so.

    Earlier in the week it was revealed that Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of the New Day were also asked to take significant pay cuts, but declined, and have now parted ways with the company.

    Today, Bodyslam+ first reported that sources indicated that TKO is asking multiple talent to restructure their contracts as a result of what they view as talent rate of production vs what they are being paid.

    Another source indicated that TKO is looking to maximize revenue as the company is still currently in debt due to Endeavor’s past.

    It’s unclear at this moment which exact talent were asked and who took said deal. Any updates will be provided first at BodyslamPlus.net.
