Interesting name was WWE’s iron man for 2019

Over the last few years, just like with television ratings, the attendance for WWE house shows have been down. 

If you recall, Vince McMahon was asked about it once on a conference call, which he said he had a plan to turn it around. 

WWE has cut back on the number of house shows. In fact, WWE talent is working fewer dates than ever before.

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the Iron Man award for 2019 goes to Ricochet. He worked 159 matches while Baron Corbin came in second place with 156 matches. 

In previous years, top stars for the company would routinely top 200 matches. As recently as 2018, Finn Balor worked 180 matches and Shinsuke Nakamura and Corbin at 175.

WWE holds the Super ShowDown pay-per-view event on Thursday, February 27, 2020 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the Mohammed Abdou Arena that will air live on the WWE Network. 

At this show, Ricochet is slated to challenge WWE Champion Brock Lesnar for the strap.
