His two goals took his Premier League tally to nine for the season and Hughes was pleased for the Austria international. Marko Arnautovic scored a brace for Stoke Hes getting a good return of goals, Hughes told Sky Sports. Weve been telling him since he arrived that he has the power and ability to score more goals and hes taken that on board.I think this is his best return of goals since he has been at the club. There were moments where we were frustrated with his play but that happens with most players. Phil Thompson shares his thoughts on Stokes win against Villa at the Britannia Stadium Hughes was pleased with his sides overall display which lifted them into eighth spot in the Premier League table.We had to up our intensity [in the second half] and thats what we did, he said.Overall, I was pleased with what we produced. We had a number of occasions where just that final ball was lacking a little bit. We needed a bit of care picking out the right person, but all-in-all a pretty straightforward win.

Belfort (24-10) needed just 77 seconds to down Henderson in the headlining bout of Saturdays "UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson" event at Goiania Arena in Goiania, Brazil. The fight served as a rematch of the pairs 2006 meeting, which Henderson won by decision. BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Twenty years after the New World Order first invaded WCW to kickstart the most lucrative era in pro wrestlings history, the nWo is still over with fans.Way over, in fact.It was evident in 2015 at WrestleMania 31, when a surprise nWO run-in during a?Triple H?vs. Sting match elicited arguably the loudest reaction from the crowd of the night. It was?just as evident on Friday, as fans gathered to celebrate the legendary heel faction during an nWo night promotion at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard.The affection of the crowd served as no surprise for nWo founding members and WWE Hall of Famers Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, who joined stablemate Sean X-Pac Waltman as guest managers of the Bridgeport Bluefish independent minor league baseball team.But none of them were willing to take it for granted -- not after the highs and lows each has experienced, both personally and professionally. This was especially true for Hall, who has dramatically rebuilt his life over the past three years after substance abuse nearly ended it.I always find it really flattering when people are going to line up and wait in line for hours to tell you how cool you are and to take a picture with you, Hall said. I always have time for that. It makes you feel good.The towering Nash, a former college basketball player at the University of Tennessee before coming to fame more than a decade later as Diesel in WWE, didnt hesitate when asked what the high point was for the nWo since its dramatic 1996 debut at the WCW pay-per-view Bash at the Beach.I think its right now, managing the Bluefish at 57 years old, Nash said.I was just going to say the same thing, Hall interjected. Here we are still getting paid to be with our buddies to fly to New York and hang out in Bridgeport for a few hours, all because of this thing we did 20-something years ago? Yeah, its pretty special.Despite what became a rotating door of members during The Monday Night Wars era, Nash considers the core of what made the nWo so special to be Hall, Waltman and himself, along with Hulk Hogan, whose shocking heel turn provided the backbone to the factions success. Hes also well aware of the influence the nWo has on todays wrestlers.One has to look no further in WWE than?Luke Gallows,?Karl Anderson?and?A.J. Styles, members of the The Club, who previously made a name for themselves in New?Japan?Pro?Wrestling as The Bullet Club, alongside?Finn Bálor. The heel faction not only carry themselves in a nWo-like manner, they adopted Hall and Nashs iconic too sweet hand gesture that The Club still uses today.Waltman, 44, who still wrestles on the independent circuit, has been surprised by how many nWo fans are upset that Gallows and Anderson have borrowed the gimmick. But neither he, nor Hall and Nash, agree.In fact, its quite the opposite.Little kids come up to me now who couldnt have been a glimmer in their fathers eye during the nWo run, Hall said. And they come up [doing the hand gesture, and say] Hey, whats up Scott? Im like, Hey Buddy.Nash sees what The Club is doing as a tribute, saying that in music there are cover bands all over the place. He also made light of the idea that Gallows -- whom Nash calls a sweetheart -- is performing any kind of gimmick infringement on his character. He did so by referencing the bald head of the 6-foot-8 Gallows.I had five moves and one was the hair flip, Nash said. I was known for my hair. If [Gallows] cant do one of my five moves, he cant really infringe me.Few ideas, if any within the world of wrestling, are truly original concepts pulled out of thin air.We stole cutting the T-shirt like Mike Tyson and now I saw?Big Cass?the other day with a T-shirt cut like Tyson, continued Nash. Everything gets stolen from somebody. We stole?from Tyson, they steal it from us.The full-circle irony in this situation is that even the nWo concept itself was borrowed. Its creator, former WCW president Eric Bischoff, saw the success of a similar invasion angle while attending a New Japan show in early 1996 and adapted it soon after.For Hall, 57, the connection with Gallows and Anderson goes deeper as his son, 25-year-old Cody Hall, was signed to New Japan in January 2015 and debuted as a trainee, or young boy, of The Bullet Club.Im happy for anybody who gets an opportunity or a break in the wrestling business, Hall said.ddddddddddddThose guys were part of the Bullet Club in Japan and my son Cody said they treated him good. If you treat my kid good, youre in with me.Over the past two decades, Japanese wrestling has played a factor in where all three of these guys have been and where they continue to go -- and it has been making a big impact of late in the modern WWE as well. When it comes to which of todays WWE superstars the nWo members believe can be a crossover superstar for years to come, Waltman had one name in mind above the rest.Im going to go with a little bit of a different answer than some people say, Waltman said. I think Shinsuke Nakamura is going to be a really big deal. Besides the in-ring skills, the charisma is amazing. I dont compare him to anybody because hes like the original.Hall was just as quick to mention Bálor and current WWE Universal champion?Kevin Owens?as young guys who are really delivering the goods. But he backed up Waltmans words?on Nakamura, a native of Japan who captured the NXT championship last month, saying he could become the first foreign-born wrestler to be the true face of the WWE.Hes kind of like Liberace and Prince stuffed together, hes just crazy, Hall said, before Waltman added the names of Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury. One of the biggest struggles that a wrestler can have is fighting their way to that kind of relevance, and it certainly didnt come that easy for any of the members of the nWo.Hall, who went on to tag team fame in WCW with Nash as The Outsiders, recalled the hits and misses of his early characters and how difficult it was to feel comfortable in the mid-1980s as top babyface Big Scott Hall in the AWA.For me, I was really struggling because I was Scott Hall in the gym, and Scott Hall in the grocery store, and in the ring, Hall said. Until I got a gimmick, a look, and got to be a character, thats when I started making strides. As Scott Hall, I didnt have a gimmick so I didnt know what to do. Once I became the Bad Guy [as Razor Ramon with WWE in 1992] it was a little easier for me to gain insight.Nash, who has transitioned to acting in recent years with memorable roles in a pair of Magic Mike films, believes his most forgettable wrestling character to be Oz -- a short-lived WCW gimmick, memorable only for the epic entrances.But Nash believes each stop on his journey was equally important, with the Oz character getting him a match in Japan at the Osaka Dome in October 1991. The show marked the first time wrestling fans of any kind had chanted his name.When I came out and the smoke cleared I was like, What are they saying? Nash said. I thought, Oh my God, for the first time in my life Im over. So you never know. You go 12 hours in the opposite direction and not exactly kosher becomes [accepted], so I dont know. If you make it, all the pieces fit in the puzzle. I do believe in the butterfly effect where if you take some piece out of it, you dont end up here.Asked whether the nWo could have the same impact had it debuted today with WWE, considering the evolution of the business and the difference in backstage politics, Nash had no doubt.I think once you know how to get over, you know how to get over, Nash said. I mean, it would be at everyones expense but we would get over. I mean, it would be guaranteed money. It wouldnt be [Ted] Turner [WCW] money though, Ill tell you that.On this night, the home team won, 8-6, over the South Maryland Blue Crabs, with the entire Bluefish team wearing special black nWo jerseys. Nash, the most outgoing of the trio, jokingly gave himself the credit, saying he had never been brought to a baseball game as part of a promotion (he estimates 50-to-60 games in all) without the home team winning.This may not have been the bright lights of WrestleMania or a venue as large as the Osaka Dome, but 20 years after the nWo debuted, theyre still drawing nostalgic crowds.Nash could only chuckle when asked why.Ask Paul McCartney why he still puts 60,000 people in the seats, Nash said. Theres only one, baby! Theres only one! For life. Were not dead yet.
