Anita Vaughan Reflects On Will Ospreay's Pedigree on ‘Triple H' Going Viral
Once upon a time in the Multiverse Rumble, Will Ospreay nailed Triple H Anita Vaughan with the Pedigree. Luckily, Vaughan has lived to tell the tale with WrestleZone. On February 7, Pro-Wrestling EVE hosted its Multiverse Rumble event from London, England, with over a dozen competitors in the rumble match. For this particular bout, competitors dressed up as and paid homage to figures in both wrestling and pop culture. In Vaughan's case, she parodied WWE Hall of Famer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, fake beard and all. This decision later came back to haunt Vaughan, however, as EVE producer and AEW star Will Ospreay flipped the bird and laid her out with a Pedigree, Triple H's iconic finishing move. Advertisement Clips of this scene have since gone viral across social media, revealing that Ospreay suffered instant karma by being eliminated by Rayne Leverkusen, dressed as Shane McMahon, right after. 'That spot was a lot of fun,' Vaughan told WrestleZone. 'The Multiverse Rumble is just that, it's just meant to be fun. Will obviously helps producing the shows and he plays such a big part. It's unbelievable to have someone like Will Ospreay backstage and helping out and everything he does with Eve as well, how he platforms it, how he supports it. Of course, he gets to be a part of the product as well in sometimes the most fun ways I've ever been involved in wrestling.' Vaughan Explains Pedigree Backstory How did this spot come together? According to Vaughan, who now reigns as the EVE International Champion, they planted the seeds for it a while ago. Advertisement 'Before [my tag partner] Debbie Keitel went to Japan, I remember we had [an idea of] like 'Oh maybe we can do DX or something.' She could be Shawn Michaels. I could be Triple H. I was like 'That would be really sick.' Then I just couldn't get it out of my head that I could be Triple H. I've done jokes and stuff with people backstage where like I'm Triple H. We'll do like the water take and stuff. It almost was a private joke coming into real life in the ring. Then you just add the layer of Will Ospreay hitting Triple H a pedigree. It was really sick. 'I've never hit so many Triple H moves in my life in that time,' Vaughan added. 'I found out I can do a decent spine buster, so now it's part of my moveset. I hit many a pedigree and I took my first ever pedigree from Will Ospreay, so that's a part of history now. ' Watch our full interview with Anita Vaughan below: The post Anita Vaughan Reflects On Will Ospreay's Pedigree on 'Triple H' Going Viral appeared first on Wrestlezone.

WWE Raw May 26: Seth Rollins defeats Sami Zayn and Finn Balor to book Money in the Bank spot
Seth Rollins is officially in the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. He outlasted Sami Zayn and Finn Balor in a wild triple threat on Monday Night Raw, but it took more than just wrestling to get the win. Zayn attacked Rollins before the bell and the match quickly became chaotic. All three men fought all over the ring and ringside area, hitting high-impact moves and exchanging momentum. At one point, Balor hit a double DDT on both opponents and nearly won. Zayn landed a moonsault to the floor and got a huge reaction when he paid tribute to the late Sabu. Rollins looked to close it out with a Pedigree, but everyone kept kicking out. As the match neared its end, the interference began. Zayn lined up for a Helluva Kick, but Bron Breakker pulled him from the ring. Bronson Reed followed with a brutal attack. Jey Uso rushed in to help Zayn and fought off both men, but the numbers game caught up. Dominik Mysterio slid a chair into the ring, hoping to help Balor finish the job. Before he could use it, Rollins landed a perfect stomp on Balor's head right onto the steel chair to score the victory. Seth Rollins wins the match, but CM Punk gets the last laugh CM PUNK JUST HIT A GTS ON SETH ROLLINS AND RAN AWAY 😭PUNK STANDS TALL TO END THE SHOW 🔥#WWERaw With Rollins celebrating and The Visionary standing tall, he ordered more damage on Uso. But that's when CM Punk's music hit to a massive ovation. Breakker and Reed ran to the ramp looking for him, but Punk had already slipped through the crowd. He entered the ring from behind and dropped Rollins with a Go To Sleep before escaping again. Paul Heyman looked on, completely stunned, as Raw went off the air. Rollins now joins Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, and Penta in the Money in the Bank match, but after Punk's attack, the story might just be getting started.

Nestle SA picks up minority stake in Indian pet food company Drools
New Delhi: Swiss food giant Nestle SA, the parent company of Nestle India, has made a minority investment in the Indian pet food company Drools Pet Food Private Limited. The financial details of this investment, Nestle SA's first in India, were not disclosed. Nestle SA owns popular brands such as Kit Kat and Milo. Drools will remain operationally independent after the investment, according to a statement released on Monday. The investment follows a $60-million fundraise by the company in 2023 from LVMH-backed private-equity firm L Catterton. The firm's investment in Drools amounted to 10% of the company's valuation at the time, making it one of the largest investments in the Indian pet care industry. Founded in 2010 by Fahim Sultan, Drools sells high-protein and prescription diets for pets. Its products are distributed across more than 40,000 retail outlets and exported to 22 countries. The company operates six manufacturing units and has a large warehousing footprint. It is also a key player in India's cat food market and a leading seller on e-commerce platforms including Amazon. Nestle has a large pet food business. In 2024 its pet care business reported 18.9 billion Swiss francs in sales, accounting for 20.7% of the company's total sales that year. It sells pet food for dogs and cats under brands such as Purina and Felix, according to the company's 2024 annual report. Purina Petcare was launched in India in 2017, albeit as a separate entity. In 2022 Nestle India acquired the pet food business Purina Petcare India for an estimated ₹ 125.3 crore to operate and scale the brand in India. Pet ownership in India surged during the pandemic as people were confined to their homes. The country now has an estimated 100 million pets, including 30 million in households. The pet food market, currently valued at $551 million, is projected to reach $1.8 billion in the next seven to eight years. The broader pet care sector has seen a rise in homegrown brands selling food, toys and accessories. Last August consumer products company Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) announced plans to enter the pet food market in FY26 with the launch of its subsidiary Godrej Pet Care. GCPL will invest ₹ 500 crore in Godrej Pet Care over the next five years, partnering with Godrej Agrovet Ltd (GAVL) for manufacturing and R&D, the company said at the time. Other major pet food sellers include Mars Pet Nutrition, the maker of Pedigree and Royal Canin, and Nestle India. Anjana Sasidharan, partner and head of India at L Catterton, said, 'Drools has achieved significant growth since we invested in the company two years ago, through high-quality in-market agility and execution, and a range of operational initiatives we have been working on with its management team to create value. We are thrilled that Nestle, which has such a renowned position in the global pet care and consumer brands space, joins as a minority partner.' Fahim Sultan, founder of Drools Pet Food, said, 'This is a testament to the love and trust of millions of pet parents and to our unwavering commitment to quality… Backed by a strong focus on science-based nutrition, Drools continues to drive innovation and build meaningful engagement with the evolving demographic of Indian pet parents, positioning itself at the forefront of the country's pet care industry.'

Almost famous: ‘Cham Pain' Marty Garner rose among WWE legends — then got left behind
If you were lucky enough to attend an OMEGA (Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts — the 1990s were the peak of goofy wrestling acronyms) wrestling show in a North Carolina armory in the late '90s, you would've seen a roster full of wrestlers who went on to big-league success. The promotion was run by The Hardy Boyz, future WWE Hall of Famers Jeff and Matt, but also likely performing would be Kid Dynamo (Shannon Moore, who'd wrestle in WCW, WWE and TNA), Ice (Caprice Coleman, who'd have a long run in ROH and is currently their color commentator), Kid Vicious (Shane Helms, who'd wrestle in WCW and as The Hurricane in WWE), and Joey Matthews (who'd hold one half of the WWE tag-team titles as a member of MNM). You could've also seen wrestlers who had shorter runs in major federations like Venom (Jason Arndt, who'd wrestle as Joey Abs in the WWE), or Mike Maverick and Otto Schwanz (who'd work as The Dupps in ECW and in WWE developmental). However, despite that all that future star power, another lesser-known name would often steal the show. 'If you don't know me, My Name Is Cham Pain — that is, first name Cham, last name Pain. I'm a former male exotic dancer from Las Vegas, Nevada, who's traded his g-string for the wrestling ring. I've been around the world twice, I've seen everything but the wind and I've been everywhere but the electric chair. I've been to two state fairs and I have driven through hell in a gasoline truck in reverse with my hair on fire, wearing thermal underwear and a fur coat, with a big, red sign hanging out the window that says, 'Cham Pain is the freakin' man.'' Advertisement "Cham Pain" Marty Garner was the one who was left behind. Despite being arguably the most charismatic of the original OMEGA crew, and as talented in-ring as any of them, many only know of Garner from his retroactively viral Pedigree sell against Triple H in 1996 (which was just upload to the WWE Vault in perfect video quality). But in many ways, he is the Zelig of professional wrestling, touching its history in multiple, fascinating ways. Unlike many of his celebrated peers, Garner's career was more about near-misses and brushes with fame, viral clips, movie stars and burned bridges. Now, at a time when the majority of his old running mates are either retired or winding down their careers, "Cham Pain" has returned to wrestling to take one last swing at the plate. Matt Hardy first met Garner in a fitness center in Vass, North Carolina in the early '90s. Matt and his brother had built a makeshift wrestling ring in their backyard and begun running shows. 'They had black plastic, wrapped around trees and they made an arena out of the plastic," Garner tells Uncrowned, "and in the middle they had a trampoline with garden hoses wrapped around it for the ropes. They would film the matches and they would make a tape and sell it to the local video store — and they would rent the video out.' The crew eventually leveled up from the backyard to the local fair. 'We did our first show at the fair on a regular ring with about five people," Garner recalls, "and we would put on hoods for some matches and some matches we would be ourselves.' Advertisement Eventually, this group of North Carolina teenagers began achieving bigger success in the wrestling business, being used as enhancement talent for the WWF. 'May of 1994 we went to the WWF, The Italian Stallion [Gary Sabaugh] called me and said he needed four guys to come fill in," Matt Hardy says. "The four of us — Jeff, myself, Jason Arndt and Marty — would drive wherever they were wrestling and we did jobs there.' 'Stallion's students got upset that the Omega crew were getting picked to work the matches even though they were paying Stallion and we weren't. So we just talked to [WWE Hall of Famer] Chief Jay Strongbow and told him what they were doing. 'If you want us, you can just call me and I can book us.' And that is how we broke away and built a relationship with the people in the WWE.' Garner achieved his first big viral moment in June 1996 when he wrestled Paul Levesque, aka Triple H. The future WWE chief executive hit his trademark Pedigree, but instead of bumping on his face, Garner kicked his legs straight in the air like he was taking a piledriver and ended up getting dropped vertically, straight onto his neck. It's a clip that still pops up on Twitter nearly two decades later, and one that demonstrates the wild recklessness which became a calling card for Garner and the rest of the OMEGA crew. In another retroactively viral clip, Garner attempted a running plancha on Jeff Jarrett and totally whiffed, crashing onto his head when Jarrett side-stepped him. Advertisement With some visibility from television, the crew began getting booked by other independent promotions and running their own shows, creating OMEGA and putting on displays that became legendary on the nascent wrestling internet and tape-trading scene. One by one, the OMEGA guys got signed to bigger promotions. First The Hardy Boyz joined the WWF, then Shannon Moore and Shane Helms became two-thirds of 3 Count in WCW. Jason Arndt joined Heartland Championship Wrestling (then WWE's development) as Venom and eventually the WWE as Joey Abs of the Mean Street Posse. Garner briefly joined the dying days of ECW as Puck Dupp, managing and teaming with fellow OMEGA alumni Mike Maverick and Otto Schwanz as Jack and Bo Dupp. The ECW stint was short-lived though, as Garner really wanted to be in the WWE. But while the WWE took Jack and Bo Dupp into Developmental, Puck was left on the outside looking in. The cocky charisma that made Cham Pain such a compelling wrestler to watch may have caused him some difficulty in the notoriously prickly and political WWE locker room. 'I was just hard-headed," Garner admits. "I wouldn't listen to people. I wasn't trying to be arrogant, I tried to ride my own road and it didn't work out.' 'Marty saw his friends on TV and we all loved him so much, and he didn't get that opportunity and he got discouraged,' adds Matt Hardy. That classic Cham Pain charisma, though, did make an impression on one big star. Advertisement Marty was in Los Angeles in late 2002 doing motion capture stunts for a video game company, and ended up connecting with The Rock, who was in town shooting "The Rundown." 'We went out to the movie set, and as soon as The Rock saw me, he says, 'First name Cham, last name Pain — a former male exotic dancer who ended up trading his g-string for the wrestling ring,'' Garner says. 'He knew my whole spiel. We go out to dinner and he said, 'Look, I want to tell you guys something. I didn't take my lines from Cham Pain, but I like the way he presented to the crowd, I kind of took some of his style, I loved the way he did his spiel.' I just about teared up. This was The Rock saying he took something from me." The two ended up going out on the town the next night. 'I met Turbo from the movie 'Breaking,' I met Brittany Spears and Justin Timberlake," Garner recalls. "I am thinking to myself, 'I am from Vass, North Carolina, with a population of 758 people. I am drinking Cristal with The Rock and Brittany Spears.'' After catching up with The Rock again at WrestleMania 19 in 2003, Garner returned to Vass and got a call. Advertisement 'Look man, you've ain't never asked me for nothing, you have always been my friend, so I am going to ask you for something — do you want to come work for me for a while on a movie set?' Garner spent the next two years off and on traveling the world as The Rock's assistant. 'When I got the job," he remembers, "Rock said this isn't going to last forever, I just want you to have some fun.' Eventually, the rind had to come to an end. 'The Rock told me, 'My wife is on me about us going out to clubs and stuff and wanted to know what your job actually is," Garner says, "'and I don't think she dug it.' So Garner again went back to Vass. 'I just got off an airplane where I was eating caviar and a ribeye steak," he says, "and here I am, walking into a single-wide trailer, and all I could smell was chicken crap.' After his Hollywood rock star stage came to an end, Garner made another run at professional wrestling. He began working North Carolina independents again and got back on the WWE radar, working some dark matches from 2006-08 and even getting a pay-per-view match against a then-debuting Montel Vontavious Porter. 'I went up to Johnny Laurinaitis and asked him what I need to do to get a job," Garner explains. "He said, 'I don't think we can make you any money in the WWE, you need to make a name for yourself.' Advertisement 'I decided to make a blog. This was back in the MySpace days and I would call it 'The Forgotten Beatle,' and it got picked up by a bunch of the wrestling sites, a magazine in the UK did a big article on me. After that article, people started a 'Hire Cham Pain' campaign together. I got to a show in Charlotte and got to the parking deck and there was 'Hire Cham Pain' all over the car. They were in England and there was a sign that was six-feet long. Johnny Laurinaitis calls me and says, 'My personal email is getting blown up, 300 or 400 emails a day wanting me to hire you. I don't ever want to see you again. If you come into a WWE locker room again, I will have you arrested.'' 'You told me to make a name for myself, so I did — and I got punished for it," Garner continues. "So after that, I got out of the business.' Garner returned to Vass once more and put wrestling behind him, leaving the ring for over a decade. However, the same wild man who made The Rock's wife nervous is no longer who Marty Garner is. Advertisement He is married, with two daughters. 'I wanted my little girls to see me wrestle live," Garner says. "I went to an independent show and got the fever again." He had a cameo appearance in a Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Jarrett match at WrestleCade, taking a Guitar shot from Jeff. That appearance — and him dropping his famous Cham Pain catchphrases during an OMEGA reunion at the same event — led to a 2023 booking at GCW, where he showed he could still hang with youngsters. He lost a competitive match with Cole Raderick, but a lot of the athleticism and timing which made him a success in his OMEGA days was still present. 'I don't tell my mind I can't do it," he says. "I just assume I can do everything I used to do. I just go ahead and try it.' Reinvigorated, Garner continued grinding, working shows across North Carolina, doing what he loves, until an injury put him back on the shelf for a bit. 'I had a knock-down, drag-out match with this dude — man, it was awesome," he says. "And we did a bunch of high spots. I dove out into the crowd on him, did a front flip over the top rope. We were doing a bull rope match — I wanted him to jerk me off the top rope, and when he did, I wanted to fall a different kind of way and I kind of messed myself up. I broke my collarbone and my rib on that last move he gave me. I've got to heal, man, and just get right.' Always a hustler, Garner is judging boxing and MMA fights in the meantime while working on getting an OMEGA documentary made. He still thinks he has something to give the business. 'I can talk, man," he says. "Even today, I would take a managerial job for somebody. I would be their mouthpiece, because man, I've got stuff I know that would get over. I could give them five t-shirt [slogans] that would sell.' 'Marty is someone who just loves to entertain people, and he is destined to entertain people,' Matt Hardy says. 'I would love to see him get some of that pro-wrestling success he didn't get earlier in his career.'
