Are Dirtsheets The Wrestling Version Of Tabloids?

A month ago, I was listening to the prince and the wolf podcast   with comedian Josh Wolf and actor/former WWE writer himself Freddie Prince Jr. In it, they had now seven-time women's champion Charlotte as their guest and she talked about life, how she got into professional wrestling but the most interesting part about this interview is that when Wolf asked: "what is dirtsheets?" Freddie replied by saying that it's basically tabloids. Is he wrong or is he right? Well, let's look at history.  Dirtsheets have spanned over 5 decades and it is still going strong to this very day and was given the name "Dirtsheets" to get "Inside dirt" in the wrestling business in a printed format or in a modern online site. Hence, the name dirtsheet.  The earliest form of dirtsheets was in the 60s where a woman by the name of Georgiann Makropoulos who herself started a monthly newsletter called "The Wrestling Chatterbox" after writing articles on wr

WWE Has A Date With Saudi Arabia Again.

Now, they were news going around that WWE will host their second event in the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia later this year. According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider , They Confirmed that the date for that event is on Friday, November 2. What do I think of this? WWE are going to be one happy mofos because they're gonna make A LOT of money (No shit, Omar). The reason question is, are they gonna allow their female wrestlers to perform in Saudi Arabia this time? Will find out soon enough.  What do you think of this? jump in the comments below and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks. 

RUMOUR: Kevin Owens Possibly allying Himself With Paul Heyman?

If you watched RAW this week, you know that by the end of that incredible match he took the microphone and said that he quit ( click here for my In-depth RAW review ). This Speculation came from a podcast of all things called Fired Up by Barn Burner  and He says that Owens could pair himself with Paul Heyman.   What do I think of this? If done/booked right, I think they're going to be the BEST act on RAW. In other words, I hope this rumour comes true. Yes, Owens doesn't need a mouthpiece considering that he's great on the mic but paring himself with Heyman will do wonders for him in my opinion. It's a great idea that no one has pitched or at least no one that I know of. What ideas do you have for the storyline of Owens "Quitting the WWE"?

WWE Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live.  WHAT'S GOOD    New day's celebration  You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment.  Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas   Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru

WWE RAW 27/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

RAW was a decent show in my opinion. Not a great show but not an offensive episode to watch. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.   WHAT'S GOOD.   The opening segment I really like this segment. Roman Reigns has held up pretty well on the mic in my opinion. Braun Strowman announcing his cash in for the championship at a hell in a cell match.  Dolph and Drew coming out and baron announcing a tag match was generic RAW stale formula but it was a good way to start the show in my opinion.  Seth Rollins vs Owens First off, what a promo by Kevin Owens bro.  So good especially when he spoke French and pissed off the Toronto crowd. Absolute GOLD. The match was FREAKING FANTASTIC in my opinion.  Seth delivering a triple suicide dives looks awesome, Kevin Owens doing a brutal looking crossface, Kevin Owens delivering a stunner to Seth.  So many near falls.  The match ends with Owens missing a

WWE Smackdown Live 21/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall an okay show. Could've been better in my opinion. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Let discuss wrestling shall we?  WHAT'S GOOD  Becky Lynch's Promo  That was great and she carried herself pretty well in this. She basically said that her hard work and her moment was stolen by Charlotte and the fans thinks of becky as an afterthought.  Charlotte's music hit and she stormed into the ring and they both beat the crap outta of each other. If there's one person that's an afterthought, it's asuka. I don't know of that has to do with anything but it is what it is. Samoa joe's psychological warfare part II. There was a interview with AJ conducted by renee young and it ended quickly because samoa joe came outta nowhere and choked out AJ, pointed at the camera and shouted AJ's wife's name "OH WENDYYYY!". That was great and the way sa

WWE RAW 20/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

RAW last night was an okay show that did a decent job of making me look forward to next week. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Let get started.  WHAT'S GOOD Triple H's promo That promo even though the super show down is a glorified house show like the greatest royal rumble, is fantastic. The promo was about how he's not afraid of being the game when it is necessary. Again, the promo was pretty much promoting his match with the Undertaker at the super show down in Melbourne, Australia which I'm looking forward to based on crowd reaction.  Roman Reigns vs Finn Balor That was a great main event. By the end of that match, Braun comes out and Finn takes that distraction and Roman outta nowhere hits a spear to retain the title.  After the match, Strowman cashes in his contract and the match hasn't happened because Seth and Dean come out with their shield gear and Braun had some offence but u

WWE Summerslam 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to my Summerslam 2018 review and it was overall a good show with minor issues which I will get there but again a good show. Now, I didn't watch the preshow because I watched the show hours after it aired on the WWE network but all you need to know is that Andrade "Cien" Almas and Zelina Vega, The B team and Cedric Alexander won their respective matches. Without further ado, here are my full thoughts on the show itself.  Dolph Ziggler (c) vs Seth Rollins  A great opener. Man, that New York crowd ate that match up. During a match, Rollins did an inverted DDT on the top rope into another inverted DDT which was beautiful to watch. Seth wins with a superkick into a curb stomp, winning the championship in the process.  The Bludgeon Brothers (c) vs The New Day Another decent match. When Xavier hit that elbow drop from the top rope into the outside was amazing.  I swear to god, big e is killing himself with that
