In a new interview with Prescription Punk Rock, DEICIDE frontman Glen Benton offered his views on artists monetizing — directly and on their own terms — enhanced fan experiences in the form of VIP meet-and-greets. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET):  "I was having this conversation with the guys in the band the other day, 'cause we were talking about meet-and-greets and doing that kind of stuff. And I'm just not a fan of the whole charging fans for a signature. I give a fan a signature out of kindness of my heart, not because I wanna make money off of them. The fact that they're a fan and they listen to our material… I know things are different — most people get [music] for free now — but I still can't come to terms with that, to charge somebody for my signature, especially a fan… And it makes me feel kind of weird."

FOZZY frontman and AEW star Chris Jericho recently made an appearance on The Big Show with Rusic And Rose. Jericho was asked for his opinion about fellow Canadians and rock peers Nickelback. The hosts asked if the band was underrated or overrated. “Super underrated,” Jericho said (as transcribed by Fightful). “We toured with Nickelback, with Fozzy. I say tour, it was probably seven shows. Amazing band. It’s like going to a house party when you’re a kid and your friends have a band it’s fun. Name five Nickelback songs, I probably couldn’t, until I saw the setlist and I know every single one of these songs. Every one of them. You forget how many great songs they have.” Nickelback is the subject of a new documentary, “”Hate to Love: Nickelback,” which is currently streaming on Netflix.  “They get attacked by the social media mob the same way I get attacked,” Jericho continued. “Why are you getting attacked? You’re good, successful, and people like you. We did that tour, we were in Atlantic City. There might be a million people in Atlantic City, but at the arena there were 10,000 people who love Nickelback. Isn’t that all that matters?”

Chris Jericho Shares His Opinion Of Nickelback

Two years ago, speculation started that WWE’s Rhea Ripley and AEW’s Buddy Matthews were dating after he became a regular guest on her Twitch channel, and soon afterward, this would be confirmed. Therefore, fans were ecstatic when the duo announced they were engaged last August, showing their relationship was progressing quickly. And now showing the loved-up couple have found the right person, they have shared a joint Instagram post featuring a photo of them kissing captioned “Til death. 23.06.24,” indicating they tied the knot on Sunday. 27-year-old Ripley was previously in a relationship with indie wrestler Demetri Jackson, who has been an enhancement talent for AEW and WWE. Meanwhile, 35-year-old Matthews was once engaged to Alexa Bliss after they met when both were working for WWE. Yet, while fans were disappointed when these relationships failed to last, things seemed to work out in the end, especially with Bliss having gone on to start a family with Ryan Cabrera.

He has an idea. There are all kinds of talented stars on the AEW roster and it can be difficult for any of them to stand out. It can be a lot easier if someone has the right people behind them, as it gives them a nice boost. The higher up the backer is the better, and now it seems that the most important person in all of AEW has someone special in mind for a big spot.

There’s something special about pro wrestling theme music. Whether it is a classic like “Sexy Boy” for Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker’s theme, or new music like the great themes in All Elite Wrestling. Fans love to identify their favorite performers by the tunes that see them out to the ring and blast through the speakers when they are victorious. It is this reason that Def Rebel must be stopped as they continue to crush the hopes of hearing good theme music in the WWE.

Horoscope for Tuesday, July 16th

During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, WWE champion Cody Rhodes reflected on his role in the creation of AEW…. “[Have] You ever seen the end of The Dark Knight? Again, it’s super convoluted and I’m not comparing myself to Batman. But there’s a piece of it that’s really important. To certain fans from the AEW fandom, they need the story to be they didn’t want me, they pushed me [out], he was bad… They need that story, they need me to be the villain. I was always fine with accepting that because of the respect I have for it in the first place. How difficult it was to do the original All In, how unbelievable the feeling was to do Double or Nothing. How fortunate we were that Tony wanted to invest in this vision and he had a vision as well. How special Matt and Nick in the BTE era and Kenny and my rivalry in New Japan, especially from a dollars and cents point. That made New Japan more money than anything they ever did and it made Ring of Honor go through the roof at the time. So regardless of any petty squabbles, I will always have a love for it. I got to wrestle Brodie Lee’s final match. I got to lead people, young people, behind the scenes. I’ll always have a love for it.

The color yellow is gorgeous, eye-catching, and downright happy for most people. So much so that it's the main hue in the world-famous happy face—but science says it's not the best color to wear on a date.

Cody Rhodes says the legend is supposed to be cooler than the fact. The chaotic road to WWE WrestleMania XL is well-documented, as the company pivoted from a match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns to a showdown between Reigns and The Rock before the "We want Cody" movement forced their hand. WWE switched back to the rematch between Rhodes and Reigns, and The Rock turned heel as he aligned with Reigns on the road to WrestleMania. The journey was chronicled in the "WrestleMania XL: Behind The Curtain" documentary, which highlighted the behind-the-scenes decision-making that went into it all.
