Happy Birthday to Lisa Marie Varon.

Lisa is formerly known as ex two-time WWF Women's Champion, Victoria and ex five-time TNA Knockouts Champion, Tara. (short for Tarantula.)

A chance meeting with Joanie Laurer (Chyna) led to Lisa training with the World Wrestling Federation's developmental territories before making her in-ring debut in late 2002. She joined TNA Wrestling in 2009.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage defeats Tito Santana to capture the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Championship in controversial circumstances.

Despite this outcome, Savage would go on to have one of the most memorable title reigns in the WWF. He would hold the Championship up until his epic clash with Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat at WrestleMania III on the 29th of March 1987.

Remembering the former World Wrestling Federation Women's champion, valet and manager, "Sensational" Sherri Martel on the day she was born.

She was also the manager/valet of "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase and then "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels.

Ted Dibiase inducted Sherri into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006.

Ms. Martel died on the 15th of June 2007.

New World Wide Wrestling Federation Champion crowned!

At Madison Square Garden, New York, WWWF US Champion Pedro Morales defeated "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff to win the WWWF Heavyweight Championship.

Morales would hold the Championship for just over 1,000 days but was forced to relinquish the United States title as back then, the promotion only allowed wrestlers to hold one championship belt at a time.

I think we need to see Roman Reigns Vs Seth Rollins one more time, hopefully at WrestleMania XLI.

Make it some kind of gimmick match and keep CM Punk well away from it.

I heard several times during the Royal Rumble that John Cena is the GOAT (Greatest of All Time.)

Now, I have no issues with Cena or any of his accomplishments, his success speaks for itself, I do take issue with Cena being referred to as such on TV broadcasts.

I do not put "Big Match John" in the same category as Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, The Rock or even the Undertaker. These men were masters at protecting their characters and knew when to challenge decisions that would have weakened them considerably.

Take Steve Austin walking out on the WWF when it was suggested he lose to a green Brock Lesnar or lose to Jonathan Coachman at a Cyber Sunday. The latter would definitely have made Austin a laughing stock.

For me, Cena has, to my knowledge, never gone against management in such a way to protect his character or he would never have allowed himself to be pinned by Kevin Federline. That will always be, as far as I'm concerned, a huge blot on John Cena's legacy.

Now that the dust has settled on another Royal Rumble, the 38th to be exact, but only the 8th Women's Rumble and that's the one I want to talk about right now.

I've heard a lot of people complaining about Charlotte Flair winning her second Rumble. However , I am not one of them, I am delighted that she came back and won.

She was the only one with a story going into the Rumble, coming back from serious and potentially career ending injuries, tearing her anterior cruciate ligament, meniscus and medial collateral ligament in December of 2023 in a match on SmackDown against Asuka. Lesser human beings would have thrown in the towel and hung up the tights. So having "The Queen" win really did make the most sense, to me anyway.

Until Nia Jax eliminated six women at once, you could have said that it was anyone's guess who could have been the last woman standing. However, the final four made it obvious who would prevail.

Nia Jax has unfinished business with Tiffany Stratton and I can see her easily dominating the upcoming Elimination Chamber and getting her rematch through that.

Nikki Bella was potentially a one shot appearance and was only making up the numbers.

Roxanne Perez, whom I am also a huge supporter of, is still in NXT and not yet part of the main WWE Roster, I feel this will happen after WrestleMania. "The Prodigy" also did exceptionally well to last from number three right up until the end. I think her time will come soon.

So it made sense to have Charlotte go over and pick her opponent. Personally, I am hoping she will challenge Rhea Ripley for the women's world championship and hopefully give us a repeat of their amazing match they had at WrestleMania ###IX.

Flair is an undoubtable talent and very much the main star of the women's division. She doesn't need to live off the fact that she's the offspring of one of the all time greats, and she doesn't. She can carry lesser opponents to a good match and with top talents, put on a fantastic bout. People love to cheer and boo her, she's someone that fans want to see regardless of how they feel about her.

Win or lose, she deserves that main event spot at WrestleMania XLI

- 1988.

33 million people tuned in to "The Main Event" on NBC to witness Andre the Giant defeat Hulk Hogan in controversial fashion to become the new World Wrestling Federation heavyweight champion.

This ended The Hulkster's 1,474 day reign.

Andre would hold the title for a few moments before surrendering the championship belt to "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase.

This match is also significant as it was the debut of the beloved "Winged Eagle" version of the WWF World Heavyweight Championship belt.

This sequence of events led to the title being vacated by WWF President Jack Tunney, who announced that a new champion would be crowned by way of an elimination tournament to take place at WrestleMania IV in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The Queen 👸🏼 Charlotte Flair returns and wins the 2025 Women's Royal Rumble.

🎉🎉🎉

Good evening, Scott here. I thought I would post my predictions for the Royal Rumble PLE tonight.

Cody Rhodes vs Kevin Owens: I think Cody will retain simply because of the fact that I don’t think they will have the WWE Undisputed Championship change hands at any PLE but a major one like WrestleMania or Summerslam. Looking forward to it nonetheless.

DIY vs MCMG: I can see DIY retaining and building a future rivalry with Pretty Deadly and potentially dropping the titles to them at Mania possibly.

Men’s Royal Rumble Match: This is a difficult one as this is the first year in a long time where it isn’t completely obvious who is winning but I have a prediction. The person who I think will win the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match is none other than… CM Punk. I was conflicted between Punk and Cena but I think this is Punks year, although I do think Cena will find a way into a championship match at WrestleMania.

Woman’s Royal Rumble Match: This is another one which isn’t obvious but as much as I don’t want this, I think the self proclaimed “Queen” Charlotte Flair will be successful in her return this evening, which will be to the delight of my co-host Andrew.
