Ringer Helps USA, WWE Tag Team for Carmax Ringer Helps USA, WWE Tag Team for CarMax 03.25.2021 Everything's a competition between WWE Superstars Mike "The Miz" Mizanin and John Morrison, from professional wrestling (natch) to mini-golf and ultimately, car purchasing. When they both set off to prove they can buy the best car, little do they know that they have both sought an advantage at CarMax-one in person and one online. The final result is that they end up with the same car at virtually the same time. The spot was originated by the NBCU Creative Partnerships team who brought together USA, WWE and CarMax and then handed the project over to Encino, Calif.-based creative agency Ringer. "This spot started with a great concept created by the NBCU Creative Partnerships team and then we came aboard to flesh out the script, produce the shoot and do post," said Rob Meltzer, Ringer director and founder, in a statement. "One of our main goals was to make sure that the tone rang true for WWE fans, so we did a deep dive into the history of this iconic tag team and included lots of inside jokes that fans would recognize."

We will also have our uniquely designed interface/UI, while hosting and infrastructure will be managed by Vimeo, our long-time streaming partner, dating back to 2013. Wrestling journalist Markus Gronemann (DarkMat.eu, Wrestling Observer) considers this to be the biggest launch of an over-the-top pro wrestling channel by a single promotion since New Japan World. wXw Managing Director Christian Jakobi held a keynote presentation tonight at 8 pm CEST at the wXw Wrestling Academy training school, which was streamed live on Facebook (the video is available, albeit only in German, here) and talked about what future and past events and what kind of original content would be available. We had up to 750 viewers simultaneously on Facebook and also had some students and a trainer (Toby Blunt) in attendance to provide some crowd noise and cheering at key points during the announcement. Marquee Events are wXw's version of pay-per-view caliber shows, where feuds start and end and international talent often appears.

Not many people know this, but I’ve always considered myself an artist of sorts. Ever since I was a young kid, I invariably find myself passing the time by doodling, drawing, and, on occasion, even painting. In the space between my paper and pencil, and in those moments when inspiration would strike, my imagination would run amok and these bigger-than-life personas - football players and comic book characters and, of course, professional wrestlers - would come to life. I wasn’t aware of this until much later, but for all those years my mother would quietly steal away my drawings, saving them for all prosperity, and perhaps giving her a way to relive all of those memories of me as a child. That’s exactly what happened to me when she showed me those old sketches of Iron Man and Walter Payton and Fred Flintstone and Hulk Hogan. I found myself instantly transported back to a time where things were simpler and characters were real and the art was pure. I get a lot of really similar feelings when I look at the incredible art that Rob Schamberger has shared with 2 foreward us all. Rob’s passion for art and for professional wrestling struck me immediately as someone that has equally grown to love and appreciate both, and by Adam Pearce truth be told I am extremely jealous of his talents.

  • WWE Superstar and Diva Biographies a National Literacy Trust Resource
    WWE Superstar and Diva biographies A National Literacy Trust resource Read these biographies of some of our favourite WWE Superstars and Divas to get some inspiration for developing the character of your own Superstar or Diva. Kofi Kingston The energy contained within one Kofi Kingston could power a major city for several years. A Ghanaian grappler with a beaming smile, Kingston’s boundless enthusiasm is only rivalled by his limitless athleticism, which he displays fearlessly every time he steps in the ring, to the delight of the entire WWE Universe. In fact, the only people who don’t like Kofi Kingston are the Superstars he faces each week – and that’s only because they can rarely catch him. The leader of the Boom Squad is a truly fierce fighter, who can curtail the smiles to kick it up in intensity if an opponent is foolish enough to set him off. With the capacity to succeed on singles and tag team levels, this young Superstar's future continues to get brighter, probably because he actually keeps leaping closer and closer to the sun. AJ Lee AJ Lee exudes the perfect girl-next-door vibe, is a self- described video gamer and possesses the physical skills of a gymnast. But don’t be fooled. She’s not as innocent as she looks. Although she stands a petite, 5-foot-3 frame, AJ is a fierce competitor with an energetic, high-flying style that poses a threat to any Diva. This proud New Jersey native has won many WWE fans with her lucha-inspired moves and indomitable fighting spirit.
