This day in Westling History

By -
Today I would like to wish a happy birthday to one of the most underated talents in wrestling today his name Michael McGillicutty or Joe Henning. Joe was born 32 years ago today in Champlin Minnesota into one of the most prominent wrestling families the henning family. Joe's dad Curt is one of the most underated stars in wrestling history never really reaching his true potentail becoming a world champion in a major company. Joe's grand-dad Larry won many territory tag team belts over his career but is also a former 4 time AWA tag champion 3 times with Harley Race & 1 time with Duke Hoffman. Joe was signed to a developmental deal in late 2007 after competiting for Race's WLW promotion for around a year. While in FCW he became a 3 time tag champion all times with different partners 1 with Heath Slater, 1 with Brett Dibiase, & the last with Kaval. He also won the World Title on one occasion back in November 2008 debuting with the main roster in 2010 on NXT. He also has gotten 3 PWI year end awards one being 2008 Rookie of the Year, the other two feud of the year (Nexus vs WWE) other most hated being apart of Nexus. Michael has also been a former tag team champion with David Otunga recently losing the gold to Air Boom. I hope this means that Nexus is offically over with and no more teaming for Joe because its about time he becomes the henning so when his dad looks down from he can be living vicarously through his son. Hopefully they wise up make him Joe "future world champion" Henning & not Michael "Why am I not Joe" McGillcutty because its about time the Universe is clued into the legacy Joe Henning brings with him.

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo

WZR is reporting that the future of WWE diva Kelly Kelly may be in doubt not that WWE would fire her but that the time off she is taking now may be permenate. Kelly who debuted 6 years ago hasnt really taken any time away from the ring since debut and many think she is burnt out from all the travel. Because of that many feel will not return to WWE but management isnt happy because they feel she is their most marketable diva. While away she is looking into doing things that have nothing do with wrestling as her placement in the Maxim top 100 has opended a lot of doors for her away from WWE. I hope Kelly or WWE dont burn the bridge preventing a possible return for Kelly if she does decide to go away from WWE becuase she is a very marketable talent. The future for the now Former Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis still isnt complete termination as it seems he is making a change from an office employee to a guy on the road. As he is apparently booking the house
