Tyler Black Reveals Why he is Leaving the Indy Scene to Work for Vince McMahon
Ring of Honor champion Tyler Black says his decision to follow the likes of Daniel Bryan and Kaval into the WWE was an easy decision to make. The star is about to embark on the biggest weekend of his career so far — defending the coveted ROH title against Roderick Strong at the company's latest PPV, Glory by Honor.
But despite his iconic status on the independent circuit, and mixed fortunes of others who have made the move in recent years, he will soon be leaving to work for Vince McMahon.
Speaking exclusively to SunSport, he revealed: "I've spoken a lot to Evan Bourne and he has encouraged me to make the move.
"To be honest, and no disrespect meant, but it wasn't a hard decision to make. You have to want to test yourself against the best and WWE is the pinnacle of our industry. They were actually the last to make me an offer. I was renegotiating with ROH and TNA had made an offer, but when WWE came in it was no contest."...More?

SmackDown Results: At the Gates of Hell
He came. He saw. He conquered CM Punk.
Even though still feeling the lingering effects of being attacked by Kane, The Undertaker summoned from within to get the job done against the leader of The Straight Edge Society. After downing Punk with a chokeslam, it looked like it was over, but Punk managed to kick out of an attempted pinfall. Next, The Deadman went for a Tombstone, but Punk countered with the GTS. Finally, using his lethal Hell’s Gate submission hold, The Phenom forced Punk to tap out.
After the match, Kane’s maniacal laughter echoed throughout the arena while flames shot skyward from the ring posts. His presence was felt, but never seen. Full results.

Beverly Lehmer Was Woman Wrestler of '50s, '60s
Beverly Lehmer, who died August 30, spent a few years in the early 1950s under the thumb of Billy Wolfe, the czar of women's wrestling. Having taken a break for a short marriage, she returned to the business part-time, on call for promoter Joe Dusek, who promoted throughout the midwest.
Based out of Council Bluffs, Iowa, at the time, Lehmer had no problem with the unpredictability of it all.
"I'm a spur-of-the-moment type of person," she said, so getting the call at the last minute was okay. "Usually when he would call me, the girls had been in an accident on the way, didn't show up, it was time to wrestle and nobody was there. I'd be at a bingo game, and my name would be on the loudspeaker and I'd go. He'd say, 'Bev, can you go home and get your tights?'"...More?
