- Speaking of Bayley, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T reiterated via an interview with Sports Illustrated that he feels the former WWE Women's Champion is a great all-around performer.
“Look at Bayley; she is good at everything,” Huffman says. “The younger talent should watch her work in the ring, listen to her promos, and take notes. She has really created something special. There are so many others that really stand out to me. Drew McIntyre. Roman. Big E. Miz, he sat under the learning tree. He gets it. Kevin Owens, that’s someone with a lot of season on him. He knows what it takes.
“Sami Zayn is also one of my favorites. His entertainment has always been there, his wrestling has always been there, but now it’s even more special because he’s put it all together. He knows exactly what he’s supposed to be doing, and he is incredible to watch every week.”
- The El Rey Network, the former home of Lucha Underground, sadly ceased operations on January 1. Learn more at this link. The network also used to air a lot of-cult classic films including films starring the legendary Mexican wrestler El Santo.
