The Wrestling Section

In 2019, All Elite Wrestling held its first official event Double or Nothing.

Konnan and Stevie Ray had a bland, boring match at World War 3, but WCW decided that once wasn't enough for these two, so they got another pay-per-view match at Slamboree. This time, however, it wouldn't be part of the nWo in-fighting angle, as nWo Hollywood and nWo Wolfpac had joined back together following the Fingerpoke of Doom earlier that year. Konnan, however, ...
