Baron Corbin On When He Found Out About His Move to Raw, His ‘Table for 3’ Dream Team, Greatest Royal Rumble

WWE star Baron Corbin, who moved to the Raw brand in the WWE Superstar Shakeup last week, recently spoke with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, and below are some interview highlights.

On traveling to Saudi Arabia for the Greatest Royal Rumble:

“WWE really likes to connect with all walks of life from all over the world,” he reasons. “I think that is what is special about WWE is that it doesn’t pick sides or anything. It’s the simple story of good versus evil, your journey to overcome the villain. I think no matter what language you speak or religion or color of the skin, none of that matters. I think people can connect to the simple story of good versus evil and the characters we offer. Going over there is such a cool thing because it brings people together.”

On moving to Raw in the Superstar Shakeup:

“I was kind of hoping it was going to happen,” he admits. “I definitely want to prove myself. I feel I’ve done extremely well on SmackDown with superstars like AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura. But there is another level of guys that you have to get through to prove yourself. You have to go to Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman. Those guys are running the show over there.

On who he would like to appear on “Table for 3” with:

“I would love to sit down with ‘Taker [The Undertaker], just because I enjoy every opportunity I have to talk to him. I think it’s such a cool thing to be in his presence because you just feel his presence. There is just something special about who he is and what he has created with WWE and this legacy. It would add a lot of value to what I do. I learn a lot every time I sit with him.

Outside of the WWE, I would like to talk to Mike Tyson. The ‘Baddest Man on the Planet.’ Who wouldn’t want to have a conversation with a guy who knocked people out in 15 seconds?”

NWA Power results: The fallout from Empower and NWA 73

Joe Galli opened the show and noted that Nick Aldis had asked for a leave of absence from the NWA after his loss of the NWA World’s Heavyweight Championship. He pitched to Kyle Davis who interviewed Kamille and Thom Latimer.

Kamille was upset with Cogran for having to wrestle two nights in a row. Kamille claimed that Corgan was trying to injure her and Latimer, based on her working double duty and making Latimer wrestle in a streetfight.

Davis invited Trevor Murdoch to the interview podium. This caused Kamille and Latimer to leave in anger. The fans had a huge reaction for Murdoch. Murdoch put over Aldis, while saying he didn’t like him personally, professionally he was a great champion.

Murdoch said he hoped he would see Aldis again soon, and he wanted to work out their business as men. He then thanked the fans for their support, and was very emotional here. This was a great babyface promo.

Colby Corino, Jax Dane, and The Pope were at the podium, and they talked about their title matches that they were promised. Corino said that he won the tournament for his whole team, and he wasn’t going to miss when he takes his shot.

Pope talked about how he was going to wait for the right time to make his move for a title in the NWA, and that everyone will know when he does it. Jax Dane talked about his shot, and he called out Trevor Murdoch.

Keira Hogan defeated Skye Blue

Nice little squash match here. Blue was given a little bit before the finish.

Hogan and Blue shook hands before locking up. There was a struggle early on to see who could keep the advantage, with Skye Blue hitting a nice headlock takeover, but Hogan managed to push Blue back into the corner, hitting a hard chop and then a dropkick right to the face of Blue.

Blue responded with a superkick when dragged out of the corner for a two count. Hogan hit one of her own and then hit Face the Music on Blue for the pinfall.

Hogan walked up to Mickie James on commentary, and told her that she needs to respect her.

Jennacide, Paola Blaze, and Taryn Terrell were at the podium. Terrell talked about how Lady Frost was a problem that kept them from getting the win, and was the only reason they didn’t get a win. The Hex came out, and Marti Belle pointed out that Frost actually took the win from her.

Paola Blaze challenged Belle to a match, but nothing seemed to come of it, as La Rebelion came out for their promo time. Mecha Wolf put over the Hex as tag team champions, saying they were like themselves. This was a bit of a mess.

The Rude Dudes (El Rudo and Nick Stanley) vs. The Ill Begotten (Rush Freeman & Captain Yuma)

Solid little tag match here, but was essentially another squash. Yuma is a good comedy character that the fans get behind, making him the perfect jobber.

Galli informed us that this was a qualifying match for a 9-team tag team tournament to determine new contenders for the NWA World Tag Team Championship. Stanley complained that Yuma abused his jawline with a headlock. Storm said that they were a little rude, in a quality dad pun.

Stanley choked Freeman, and Velvet made a rude joke after hearing Storm make one seconds before. Stanley hit the ropes looking like he was going for a big move, only to put his foot on Freeman’s chest for a pinfall attempt.

Freeman made the tag to Yuma, who knocked Stanley off the apron and hit a tornado DDT on Rudo for a 2-count that Stanley broke up. Stanley hit a double stomp off the top rope into a backbreaker by Rudo for the 3-count.

La Rebelion was with Kyle Davis and they ran down the tournament, then La Rebelion said they were going to take the tag titles to Mexico until the NWA is able to bring them challengers worthy of their time.

Chris Adonis and Melina came to the podium. Adonis said it was ridiculous that Melina wasn’t on the card, and he blamed Corgan for it. Adonis nodded in agreement as Melina said that she was tired of Kamille, which seemed weird, as it set him against the rest of Strictly Business, which Kyle Davis pointed out.

Before he could answer, James Mitchell came out and talked about how Judias was going to crush him and take the NWA National title from him. Adonis wasn’t intimidated. 

Kenzie Paige defeated Chelsea Green

Green started the early parts of the match taking it right to Paige, hitting a kick in the corner and some stomps as well. Green went for an unprettier, but Paige fought and rolled into a sunset flip on Green, pinning her quickly. What an upset!

Green started screaming and going nuts, and it seemed the Hot Mess was coming back, as she threw a tantrum in the ring about losing.

Austin Idol interrupted the promo of James Storm, and said Tyrus and himself looked all over the world for talent for Tyrus to face tonight. BLK Jeez and Jordan Clearwater came out, which was weird because they have been aligned with Tyrus. Clearwater looked like he was going to fight, but BLK Jeez hopped in the ring first, to Clearwater’s clear frustration.

NWA Television Championship: Tyrus defeated BLK Jeez to retain

BLK Jeez immediately dropkicked Tyrus, hit a frog splash, and then a DDT for a two count. Jeez hit a missile dropkick, but Tyrus kicked out again. Tyrus swatted Jeez from the air and hit an exploder suplex and a heart punch to finish the match. This was weird. What a strange ending to the show.

Final Thoughts:

This was a confusing episode of NWA Power, where I don’t understand why several things happened. I have no idea why BLK Jeez was suddenly facing Tyrus, and why Clearwater was upset about it. I also didn’t understand Kiera Hogan going up to Mickie and saying that she had to respect her.

I also didn’t understand Milena joining with Chris Adonis while bashing the rest of Strictly Business, and I didn’t understand why every single promo was interfered with. I was just absolutely baffled by it. At least Trevor Murdoch’s promo was good. Not the best way to follow up a good weekend of shows.

Scandales de pédophilie dans l’Église : Quel sort pour le film “Grâce à dieu” ?

Double bonne nouvelle pour François Ozon ! Le réalisateur a eu la fierté de voir son nouveau film, Grâce à dieu, primé lors du 69e festival de Berlin. Le long métrage qui traite de la pédophilie dans l’Église a reçu le Grand prix de la part du jury présidé par Juliette Binoche. On apprend désormais que la justice a autorisé par le film à sortir comme prévu mercredi 20 février, malgré l’opposition du prêtre mis en examen dans le dossier, indique l’AFP.

Le père Preynat, prêtre lyonnais poursuivi pour agressions sexuelles et qui n’a pas encore été jugé, avait assigné François Ozon en référé pour obtenir un report de la sortie en salles de ce film. “La décision très bien motivée reconnaît que le film – avec les avertissements qui l’accompagnent – ne justifie pas les mesures demandées qui menaçaient sa sortie,” s’est réjoui auprès de l’AFP Paul-Albert Iweins, l’un des deux avocats du producteur et du distributeur du film.

Pour Emmanuel Mercinier, avocat du père Preynat, le juge “considère que le fait d’insérer un carton à la dernière seconde du film indiquant que le père Preynat bénéficie de la présomption d’innocence répond aux exigences de la loi, la culpabilité de ce dernier n’étant dès lors pas présentée comme acquise“. Il a regretté “amèrement cette décision, non seulement dans l’intérêt du père Preynat, mais plus largement dans l’intérêt général“. “Présenter durant deux heures comme coupable un homme qui n’a pas encore été jugé comme tel constitue une atteinte à la présomption d’innocence,” a-t-il dit. Frédéric Doyez, avocat lyonnais du père Preynat, a indiqué à l’AFP que le prêtre ferait appel, mais que cela n’empêcherait pas le film de sortir.

Grâce à Dieu donne seulement les prénoms des victimes mais cite nommément le cardinal Barbarin, le père Preynat et Régine Maire. Selon François Ozon, leurs noms “étaient déjà dans la presse“. À Lyon, une autre audience avait lieu ce lundi concernant ce film : une ex-membre du diocèse de Lyon, Régine Maire, représentée dans le film, réclame que son nom n’apparaisse pas dans le long métrage.

Le procès du cardinal Philippe Barbarin, archevêque de Lyon, et de cinq autres personnes pour non-dénonciation d’agressions sexuelles pédophiles dans cette affaire s’est tenu début janvier à Lyon. Le jugement est attendu le 7 mars. Le film n’aura donc pas subi ce que le réalisateur aurait qualifié de censure. En effet, à Berlin, celui à qui l’on doit Swimming Pool avait déclaré que si la sortie du film était suspendue jusqu’au procès du père Preynat, “ce serait une sorte de censure“.

Ce dossier intervient alors qu’un nouveau scandale secoue l’Église : le pape François a reconnu les agressions sexuelles subies par des religieuses, victimes de prêtres.

Gasly sees Dutch GP as ‘replay of Monaco’

AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly says next weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix could resemble “a replay of Monaco” thanks to Zandvoort’s short straights and narrow track.

Formula 1 will race at Holland’s once classic venue for the first time since 1985.

Although Zandvoort has implemented many changes to accommodate Grand Prix racing’s modern cars, most F1 drivers fear that the 4.259km track’s characteristics will represent a mighty challenge in terms of overtaking.

Gasly, who raced only once at the venue, way back in 2012, has done his homework on AlphaTauri’s simulator and is anticipating an “amazing weekend” despite the likely scarce overtaking opportunities on race day.

“I raced there in 2012 in Formula Renault 2.0, so quite a long time ago!” said the Frenchman. “The track layout has changed a lot since then and I’ve experienced it on the simulator.

“I think the whole weekend should be an amazing experience, being the first Dutch Grand Prix since Max has been in Formula 1.

“It’s going to be an interesting weekend, a replay of Monaco in some respects, as the straights are very short and the track itself is very narrow, so overtaking will be particularly complicated.

“That means Qualifying will be especially important and, as we seem to perform quite well in that respect, it could turn out to be a good thing for us,” added Gasly.

“Another factor is that being by the sea, we can expect to find a dusty track surface on Friday, with sand blowing onto the asphalt, so conditions will evolve over the weekend.”

Gasly’s AlphaTauri teammate Yuki Tsunoda will be an absolute beginner at Zandvoort, but like the Frenchman, the Japanese driver has also indulged in some productive simulator sessions.

However, facing a learning curve this week, Tsunoda stressed the importance of keeping himself out of trouble from the outset in Holland.

“I have never driven at Zandvoort, in any category,” said the 21-year-old. “Since they have modified the track layout, it should be a new experience for all the drivers, not just the rookies like me.

“It looks unusual from the simulator, with a lot of banking, which is quite steep and that will need good skills to maximise in terms of carrying speed into the next part of the track.

“I think I am quite good at adapting reasonably quickly to a track I have never seen before. But I must make sure I don’t lose any track time through mistakes, because it will be important to learn as much as possible in free practice.

“Also, in Zandvoort, the track walk will be even more useful than usual, because the simulator cannot give you a complete picture of what a new circuit is like. The simulator helps but the walk gives you a full picture.”

Premier League titles stripped and points deductions – What can happen to Man City as UEFA hits club with Champions League ban?

The club have been rocked by the decision from UEFA, the result of an exhaustive investigation into their finances.

According to The Sun, the boss allegedly told his players: “Whatever league we are in, I will still be here. Even if they put us in League Two, I will still be here.

“This is a time for sticking together.”

Speaking to the squad, City’s chief executive officer Ferran Soriano added: “Trust me like I trust you, this will be dropped.”

As well as the two-year ban, the reigning Premier League champions have also been handed a £25million fine by European football’s governing body.

But, as the dust settles, just what could be in store for City, and their Premier League rivals?
