The ladder Drew Galloway stood on careened toward the ring ropes like an oak felled by a lumberjack. He envisioned what would happen next. He had seen Shawn Michaels take the same fall in his classic ladder match at WrestleMania X against Razor Ramon. That night, Michaels tumbled from the ladder and crashed legs-spread onto the ropes. Galloway's own plunge left him howling. "I stepped off the ladder waiting to glide gracefully, but instead I plummeted violently," Galloway told Bleacher Report. "I created about 50 new swear words, I hit so hard."  The drop black-and-blued his groin. The former TNA world champion, known during his WWE tenure ...

So with Goldberg on top of the wrestling world, is now the time to pounce on a Reigns heel turn?    Double Reign-bow? Very enticing. Roman Reigns will be relevant in WWE as a good guy or a bad guy.

On a hobbled leg and in the mouth of a monster, Tye Dillinger made the most emphatic of statements—he's ready to shift from WWE NXT prospect to main-roster Superstar. When a wrestler in the developmental system takes the proverbial next step in their progression as a performer, it's not often as obvious as it was on Wednesday's NXT. Dillinger, long popular and productive, had yet to deliver a signature match. That was the one box left to check. And he did it twice in a row. First, he and Bobby Roode opened NXT TakeOver: Toronto on Nov. 19 with a strong, compelling contest. Dillinger ...
