First of all, happy new year! :) It's been a while, hasn't it? Not technically all our fault. Didn't think Yahoo! would do all those drastic changes. But we're out of there now, and from now on we are part of the groups.io service. How good is it? I don't know. I guess we'll find out. The majority of the subscribers haven't been migrated over. Invites are still slowly being sent. We couldn't just add everyone back on the list like I wanted. Everyone has to accept the invite to be added and invites might be in the spam/junk, not seen etc. We went from over 26,000 subscribers to just under 2,000 for now as more get added daily. But new year, new start. Thanks for sticking around. ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at LANA AND LASHLEY'S WEDDING ANGLE A BIG HIT ON YOUTUBE- The Lana and Lashley wedding segment might have its fair share of critics but it seems like it is a big hit on YouTube. Three videos associated with the angle which main evented Raw this past Monday have done millions of views each on the popular video sharing website which suggests that fans at least were curious to see what happened. Pro wrestling weddings always have a twist and never go according to plans and typically do well in terms of viewership due to the surprise factor. The highlights video of what went down on Monday has over 3.2 million views on the official WWE YouTube page while the video of Lana continuing to throw a fit after the show went off the air has 2.3 million views and counting. The WWE on FOX YouTube page also uploaded a five-minute video of the wedding angle and that already has 3.8 million views and growing. All three videos were uploaded on December 30. CHARLOTTE FLAIR AND ANDRADE GET ENGAGED- There's another power couple in the making in the WWE as Andrade and Charlotte announced their engagement on Twitter. It was Charlotte who posted a photo of the two hugging each other with the words "Si" and then the United States champion posted a status of his own writing, "She said siiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!" This will be the third wedding for Charlotte who was previously married to Riki Johnson from 2010 to 2013. She talked about her marriage in the Second Nature book, revealing she left her husband after multiple domestic violence assaults. Later in 2013, she married Thomas Latimer, the wrestler better known under the name of Bram. The marriage lasted until 2015. Andrade has not been married before and the two have been dating since late 2018. 24/7 TITLE CHANGES HANDS DURING FOX NEW YEAR'S EVE BROADCAST- The 24/7 title kept changing hands even late at night on New Year's Eve yesterday with the gold swapping hands a couple of times throughout the FOX New Year's Eve broadcast. It was Mojo Rawley who won the title first after knocking out R-Truth while he was being interviewed on camera by Maria Menounos. Menounos acted as the referee and hit the three count on Truth, awarding the title to Rawley. But Mojo's reign was pretty short as on his way out, he asked Elias for directions on how to get out of there. Mojo insulted Elias' performance from earlier in the night and Elias was offended and smashed the guitar over Mojo. Truth was there once again - as was Menounos with her referee shirt - and counted to three as Truth regained the title.
