  • Brian Myers Recalls First Meeting MJF And The Moment He Knew He Was Different

    Brian Myers Recalls First Meeting MJF And The Moment He Knew He Was Different

    He’s better than you and even Brian Myers knew it.

    Maxwell Jacob Friedman has become one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling today, but according to Brian Myers, it didn’t take long to realize there was something special about MJF.

    Speaking during a recent appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Myers reflected on the first time he met the future AEW World Champion at Create A Pro Wrestling Academy. The former WWE and TNA star recalled that MJF arrived at the school during its infancy and was already showing signs of the charisma and confidence that would eventually make him one of wrestling’s premier performers.

    Myers explained that MJF’s journey into wrestling mirrored his own in some ways, as both faced skepticism while pursuing a career in the industry.

    “Yeah, I’ll never forget it. It was very early on, probably the first four months of Create A Pro. It’s kind of funny, because it’s a very similar mentality. He committed to something in college football, but he really had his heart set on wrestling. I think it kind of hit a wall with what he was doing and what his parents wanted him to do and what he wanted to do. I was in a very similar situation, because when you tell people you want to be a wrestler, it’s not really that believable. His dad came in with him, and it almost felt like, here he’s your problem now, this is what he wants to do. I was like, let’s go. So pretty early on, we did a promo class where he just murdered this kid, and I was like, okay, there’s something about this guy.”

    The story offers an interesting glimpse into the early days of MJF’s wrestling career. Long before headlining major events and becoming one of the most talked-about names in the industry, he was already displaying the verbal ability that would later become a defining trait of his character.

    Myers’ recollection highlights how quickly MJF stood out among his peers. While many aspiring wrestlers spend years trying to develop confidence on the microphone, MJF apparently made an immediate impression during one of his first promo classes.

    Over the years, Create A Pro Wrestling Academy has produced several notable talents, but MJF’s rise to the top of the industry remains one of its greatest success stories. According to Myers, the signs were there almost immediately.

    WWE Clash In Italy Preview: Full Match Card, Plus When And Where To Watch!

    WWE Makes History This Weekend With Clash In Italy

    WWE is set to make history this weekend as the company presents its first-ever premium live event from Italy with WWE Clash In Italy on Sunday, May 31.

    The event will emanate from the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy, marking another milestone in WWE’s ongoing international expansion. Due to the time difference, fans in the United States will be able to tune in beginning at 2:00 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m. PT for the main card, while the kickoff show begins at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT.

    A stacked lineup featuring multiple world championship bouts, a Tribal Combat showdown, and a highly anticipated clash between two dominant powerhouses has generated significant buzz heading into the event.

    WWE Clash in Italy match card:

    • Undisputed WWE Championship Match: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Gunther
    • World Heavyweight Championship – Tribal Combat: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Jacob Fatu
    • WWE Women’s Championship Match: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Jade Cargill
    • Women’s Intercontinental Championship Match: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Sol Ruca
    • Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi

    At the top of the card, Roman Reigns will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu in a Tribal Combat match. The Bloodline family rivalry has reached a boiling point, and with Tribal Combat rules in effect, anything can happen when the two collide. Reigns enters as champion, but Fatu has established himself as one of the most dangerous and unpredictable competitors in WWE, creating what could be one of the most chaotic matches of the year.

    The Undisputed WWE Championship will also be on the line as Cody Rhodes puts his title up against former World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. Rhodes has continued to cement himself as WWE’s top champion, but Gunther’s dominant track record and relentless in-ring style present perhaps his toughest challenge yet. The clash between Rhodes’ resilience and Gunther’s brutality has all the ingredients of a show-stealing championship encounter.

    On the women’s side, WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley defends against Jade Cargill in a dream match that fans have been highly anticipating. Ripley has firmly established herself as one of the most dominant champions in WWE, while Cargill’s impressive rise has positioned her as one of the company’s biggest stars. With power, athleticism, and championship gold at stake, this matchup has major-event written all over it.

    The WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship will also be defended when Becky Lynch faces rising star Sol Ruca. Lynch continues to add to her already legendary resume, but Ruca has quickly become one of the most exciting young talents on the roster. A victory over Lynch on a stage of this magnitude would instantly elevate Ruca into championship contention and potentially usher in a new era for the division.

    Rounding out the announced card is a blockbuster rematch between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi. The matchup pits one of the most accomplished competitors in WWE history against one of its fastest-rising powerhouses, in a WrestleMania 42 rematch. Femi has impressed audiences with his combination of size, strength, and athleticism, but standing across from him will be a former UFC Heavyweight Champion and one of the most intimidating figures the industry has ever seen looking to avenge his shocking loss last month at WrestleMania.

    With multiple championship matches, family warfare inside Tribal Combat, and WWE’s first premium live event in Italy, Clash In Italy is shaping up to be one of the company’s biggest international events of 2026.

    WWE Clash In Italy takes place Sunday, May 31, from the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy. Check back here at Bodyslam.net for coverage of tomorrows WWE Clash in Itlay PLE.

     

  • Wrestling Open Worcester Results- May 28th, 2026

    Wrestling Open Worcester Results- May 28th, 2026

    First match of the evening is an opening round of the women’s wrestling open championship tournament. Its Liviyah vs. Sammi Chaos where the winner goes on to face Gabby Forza in the next round. Sammi Chaos defeats Liviyah by pinfall and advances in the tournament.

     

    Next is TJ Crawford’s open challenge that is answered by All In Bayno. TJ Crawford defeats All In Bayno via pinfall. Crawford was about to cut a promo when the music of Big Business hits. No one comes through the curtain and the crowd is realizes its just another one of Crawford’s tricks. Crawford leaves the ring without telling the crowd why he has had a change of heart and turned on Big Business.

     

    Next, we’re subjected to a high pitched walked through the forest promo by Steven Stetson saying that he wants to be the first ever double champion and challenge Bear Bronson for the Wrestling Open champion. He then enters the ring and repeats himself for the live crowd and announces that he will challenge him next week. His opponent, Mani Ariez, saves us all from his voice. Despite a valiant effort, Steven Stetson defeats Mani Ariez via pinfall.

     

    The real losers are us because we have to hear Stetson speak again as he grabs a mic. He informs Bobby Casale that he has one more test before he becomes a full member of the Stetson Ranch. He has for “help” with his match next week, but Casale grabs the mic to cut him off asking him “and what if I don’t?” Stetson informs him that he will beat him so badly that he will be out of the business. He also says that Casale wants him to show him what he has against an “old friend” and introduces Alex Reynolds who dances out to the ring.

     

    The next match is Bobby Casale and Alex Reynolds. Reynolds slowly undresses for his match like some sort of stateside Naito. This was a great back and forth match but in the end Stetson ends up costing his own man the match. Alex Reynolds defeats Bobby Casale via pinfall. Where does this leave Casale in terms of his relationship with the ranch?

     

    Next up is Kylon (not Kyle) King who will be taking on Ichiban. Lots of Kyle chants happened to the point where Ref Scott calls Kylon Kyle on accident. The match was a battle but it ended in a 15 minute time limit draw and with Kylon slapping Ichibon in the face before he leaves the ring.

     

    The next match is a six man tag match. DJ Powers is teaming with Simply the Best (BRG and Oxx Adams) and will go against the team of Bombz over Beyond (Eric ChaCha, Handyman Jake Gray, and Ricky Shane Page). Before the match, BRG grabs the mic and is met with a chorus of boos from the Worcester crowd and chants of “moist.” Bombz over Beyond wins with Handyman Jake Gray pinning BRG.

     

    The main event of the evening is another opening round of the women’s championship tournament. It will be Kylie Alexia going against Allie Katch. The winner will be going on to face Jordan Blade next week in the semi finals. Kylie works Allie’s arm most of the match and has tried to pull out every trick she has to defeat Allie. Kylie wins by referee stoppage after cracking Allie over the head with a turnbuckle she found under the ring. She will face Jordan Blade in the Semi Finals next week.

     

  • Brian Myers Opens Up About How Much Longer He Wants To Wrestle

    Brian Myers Opens Up About How Much Longer He Wants To Wrestle

    Veteran pro wrestler Brian Myers is thinking more seriously than ever about how much longer he wants to continue competing inside the ring.

    During a recent appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Myers opened up about the realities of getting older in professional wrestling, while also explaining why he remains motivated to continue performing at a high level.

    Now approaching his 41st birthday, Myers admitted that the conversation surrounding longevity has become something he thinks about constantly.

    “More than ever. Yeah, it’s crazy how much it’s been [on my mind]. I’ll be 41 in a month. Ever since I turned 40, it just feels like, oh man. I always say Father Time is undefeated, and an injury could stop me. I just want to be the best version of myself, whatever that takes. We talked about Brock earlier, just taking care of yourself and staying healthy. Just because doing this is such a privilege to me.

    “Like I said, when I have my last match, I’m gonna cry like a baby, because I just love it so much. It’s been such a part of my life. I’ve been doing it more than not at this point. So I think about it constantly. But then there’s people who are real motivations to me, like Edge and Christian and Chris Jericho. I see them still doing it at a high level, and they’re much older than me. I’m like, okay, sh*t, they’re doing it.

    “Even guys like Frankie Kazarian and Eric Young at work, they are in the best shape of their lives, still having incredible matches, and they’re a little bit older. I’m like, okay, like they keep me motivated to stay on the ball.”

    Myers has built a lengthy career across multiple major promotions, becoming one of the most reliable and respected veterans in the industry. Whether teaming with Matt Cardona, competing in IMPACT/TNA Wrestling, or appearing on the independent scene, Myers has consistently remained active throughout nearly two decades in the business.

    While retirement is clearly something on his mind, Myers made it equally clear that he still has a strong passion for professional wrestling and continues to draw inspiration from veteran performers who are still excelling well into their 40s and beyond.

    Names like Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, and Chris Jericho continue to prove that longevity in wrestling is possible with the right mindset and commitment to staying healthy, something Myers appears determined to emulate as he moves deeper into the later stages of his career.

    At the same time, Myers’ comments also reflected the emotional connection many lifelong performers have to the business. Wrestling has been a defining part of his life for decades, and he acknowledged that eventually stepping away from the ring will not come easy.

    For now, however, Myers appears focused on continuing to evolve, stay healthy, and perform at the highest level possible while he still has the opportunity to do what he loves.

  • Former WWE Star Joe Hennig Arrested In Minnesota On DUI, Obstruction Charges

    Former WWE Star Joe Hennig Arrested In Minnesota On DUI, Obstruction Charges

    Former WWE Superstar Joe Hennig, best known to wrestling fans as Curtis Axel and Michael McGillicutty, was arrested earlier this month in Minnesota and is currently facing multiple charges.

    According to public records from Anoka County, Minnesota, Hennig was arrested on May 17 and booked on several charges related to driving while impaired, obstruction, and a traffic incident.

    The listed charges include:

    • Traffic-DUI-Third-Degree Driving While Impaired-Refuse to submit to chemical test.
    • Traffic – DWI – Refuse to submit to chemical test; Breath or test refusal or failure.
    • Obstruct Legal Process-Lawful Execution Legal Process.

    • Traffic-Accidents-Driver Involved Fails to Stop for Accident to Property-No injury.

    Hennig was released from custody on May 19. As of this writing, no court date has been publicly listed.

    The 46-year-old comes from one of professional wrestling’s most well-known family lineages. He is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Curt Hennig, known worldwide as “Mr. Perfect,” and the grandson of wrestling legend Larry “The Ax” Hennig.

    Joe Hennig officially began his WWE journey in 2007 after helping induct his father into the WWE Hall of Fame earlier that same year. He later signed with WWE and developed in Florida Championship Wrestling before gaining wider exposure during season two of WWE NXT under the ring name Michael McGillicutty.

    Hennig would go on to become part of The Nexus faction in 2010 before eventually receiving a renewed singles push in 2013. Repackaged as Curtis Axel and aligned with Paul Heyman, Hennig captured the WWE Intercontinental Championship and later the WWE Tag Team Championships during his run with the company.

    WWE released Hennig in 2020 during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic cuts. He later briefly returned to the company in 2022 in a producer role.

    At this time, no additional public details surrounding the arrest have been released.

    It should also be noted that Curtis Axel has still not been eliminated from the 2015 WWE Royal Rumble match.
