People Over at FOX Are Not Too Happy With WWE's Entertainment Aspect.

Now if you have been living under a huge rock, you know that WWE has indeed signed a 5 year 1 billion dollar deal from FOX and a wrestling show is not the only thing that FOX wants. From Dave Meltzer's recent observer newsletter, FOX wants WWE to give more of a serious/sports like feel into their programming considering that FOX are planning to have a "sports block" throughout the weekend from Thursday until Sunday. 

 FOX are also planning to air the NFL on that "sports block" on Thursday, to air Smackdown Live on Friday and wants to promote Smackdown Live during their sport shows but in order for that to happen they [WWE] need to change their way of storytelling. 

 What do I think of this? FOX like any networks has their perspective on which number considers a lower rating and which number considers a higher rating if that makes sense and I say this because several months ago, FOX cancelled a show called Lucifer which gets anywhere between 3 to 4 million viewers per episode and WWE hasn't got that number in God knows how long. In that aspect, I agree with FOX on this. 

 I got this story from wrestling news source and they asked a question if this might be the end of The New Day and to that, I say no because I remember earlier this year they cut a great promo when they were feuding with The Usos and the best thing about this was that they were serious just like what FOX wants (Click here to watch that video). 

 What do guys think? Sound off in the comments below and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...

Priscilla Kelly Used A Tampon In A Wrestling Match: Right Or Wrong?

    If you have been away from social media for the past day or so, a wrestler by the name of Priscilla Kelly (who by the way, recently competed in the second Mae Young Classic tournament) competed in a match in which she pulled out her tampon and put it on her rival's mouth. That struck the wrestling world on Twitter with differences of opinions. She did respond to this on Twitter and here's what she had to say: Hey guys. Ya know, it's all fake. 21+ show with a bar. Can't take life so serious all the time. Call me what you will... 🌹 — The Priscilla Kelly (@priscillakelly_) January 5, 2019 What do I think of this? I don't understand why this became as viral as it is considering that we've seen hardcore, brutal, disgusting stuff in a wrestling match before. However, it did get an "ugh" reaction out of me.  Was it right or wrong that she did this? My answer is none considering that wrestling is subjective and there's no such thing ...
