WON BACK ISSUE:\u00a0February 12, 2001 Wrestling Observer Newsletter: Debut of the XFL, Stan Hansen retires, more<\/p>\n

With fan and media reaction after its debut all across the board and a huge buzz leading to a monstrous television rating, the only way to review the debut of the XFL over the weekend is this. Despite what sports people may think and even hardcore fans of sports may think, the majority of people attend sporting events as well as wrestling events based on quality of hype. They enjoy themselves based on quality of atmosphere of the show, and going home happy (either the babyface prevailing at the end or the home team prevailing).\u00a0<\/p>\n

SUNDAY NEWS UPDATE<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u><\/p>\n

Bryan and I talk all the WWE weekend news as well as last night’s UFC show.<\/p>\n

After Brian Ortega’s win over Frankie Edger last night, Dana White pushed the idea of Max Holloway vs. Ortega for the featherweight title, which is the fight that makes logical sense.\u00a0Holloway said he’d like the fight to be on International Fight Week which would be 7\/7.<\/p>\n

White also pushed the idea of Cris Cyborg facing Amanda Nunes next.\u00a0Sean O’Malley was X-rayed and did not have a broken foot.<\/p>\n

We have no update on Rey Mysterio Jr. and his biceps injury from\u00a0Friday\u00a0night.<\/p>\n

As far as Google trends, as of a few hours ago, Brian Ortega was the third most searched term for today with more than 100,000 searches.\u00a0For yesterday, the most searched term was UFC 222 with about 650,000 searches accounted for.\u00a0About 500,000 is normal for a current UFC show but Cyborg vs. Holly Holm topped 1 million.\u00a0Cyborg was one of the most searched.\u00a0Deontay Wilder had 200,000, for second place, beating Duke basketball and the death of David Ogden-Stiers.\u00a0He was the only boxer to make the top 20.\u00a0Mackenzie Dern was No. 16 at 50,000<\/p>\n

Northeast Wrestling from\u00a0Friday\u00a0night in Waterbury, CT, before 1,900 fans:\u00a0Robbie E & Cam Zagami b Adrenaline Rush (Keith Youngblood & Daniel Evans) to win the tag titles, Christian Casanova won three-way over Chris Battle and Bull Dredd, Brian Anthony b Manscout Jake Manning (Anthony is doing the King Booker gimmick from years ago), Ron Zombie b Mike Gamble, Tenille Dashwood b Deonna Purrazzo, Brad Hollister b Matt Riddle, Josh Briggs b Wrecking Ball Legursky, Rey Mysterio Jr. & Flip Gordon b Caleb Konley & Joey Mercury.\u00a0There was also a brawl with The Young Bucks & Marty Scurll doing a pull-apart with The Kingdom.\u00a0Lanny Poffo read a poem he had written about Randy Savage and threw Frisbees in the crowd.\u00a0Good response to the women. Great response to Hollister vs. Riddle.\u00a0Mick Foley was there and put Mr. Socko on heel manager Jared Silberkleit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky’s flight from Los Angeles to New York was canceled which is why they weren’t at the show.\u00a0Ultimo Guerrero arrived late due to being caught up in customs.\u00a0The CMLL wrestlers showed up after the show started and Soberano Jr. got to the building five minutes before his match started, which may partially explain the problems with that match.\u00a0They also, during the live show to people who were watching, put on a Samoa Joe vs. Bryan Danielson match during intermission.<\/p>\n

WWE
\nRonda Rousey and her mother, Ann Maria DeMars, were both inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame in Columbus, OH last night.
\nJohn Cena will be on the\u00a0Tonight\u00a0Show\u00a0on Wednesday.\u00a0Ronda Rousey will be on Ellen on 3\/13.
\nRegarding last night’s Brock Lesnar 35\u00a0second win over Kane in Chicago,\u00a0this is a storyline attempting to turn Lesnar heel by WrestleMania and ergo, make Roman Reigns the babyface for that match.
\nThe WWE Network will be releasing a number of episodes of the old squash\u00a0match TV show All-Star Wrestling on the Network,\u00a0with shows from 1975 to 1980.\u00a0A lot of the 1980 shows are during the build\u00a0to the Shea Stadium show that year.\u00a0I doubt they’ll have the localized promos for New York, which would be some classic stuff because the promo work of Bruno Sammartino and Larry Zbyszko was incredible.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\nMISCELLANEOUS
\nImpact announced last night it will be doing TV tapings in Windsor, ONT at St. Clair College on 6\/1 and 6\/2.

(thanks to Henk Mulder)
\nKSW in Poland, which is a promotion that has the best live production values of any promotion\u00a0except possibly Rizin, ran over the weekend as well.\u00a0The big news on the show was that Tomasz Narkun beat Mamed Khalidov to end Khalidov’s 20-fight unbeaten streak.\u00a0Narkun was the company’s light heavyweight champion while Khalidov is the middleweight champion.\u00a0In promoting the show, there was a photo of Khalidov talking about his streak and dressing up in\u00a0a black jacket and black hat just like Undertaker.\u00a0
