The 5 News Week: Samoa Joe Is Injured According to Reports, A Wyatt Family Reunion?, Alicia Fox Replacing Bliss At Evolution.

Samoa Joe Is Injured According to Reports

Unfortunately, Samoa Joe is reportedly injured according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter with an unspecified injury. It could be a minor injury but given how he has been injured at the right time of his big break before, it could also be a major injury. This is a developing story as of right now and I wish him nothing but a speedy recovery.

A Wyatt Family Reunion?

Wow, another story reported by the Wrestling Observer. Who knew? Anyways according to them, WWE creative pitched an idea for Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper to reunite on TV. They haven't specified on which brand they're going to reunite on but it is interesting.

Alicia Fox To Replace Alexa Bliss At Evolution Tomorrow

As you know, a tag match was announced between Alexa Bliss and Mickie James vs Trish Stratus and Lita at evolution. However, Bliss will, unfortunately, miss that match due to a concussion at a live event which was first reported by Wrestlingnews.co but it was later confirmed by WWE.com and will be replaced by Alicia Fox instead. Like Samoa Joe's story, I wish Bliss nothing but a speedy recovery.

Matt Hardy On Being A Successful Pro Wrestler

Matt recently did an interview with culturacolectiva.com over at Mexico and talked about a variety of topics but the most interesting about that interview is on being a successful professional wrestler and here's what he had to say:

“I think in this day and age it’s really important to evolve and to change—now more than ever. Simply because the fans have such powerful voices today, and they are more relevant, since everyone can have their say. People also have a short attention span in 2018, things move so fast. As a wrestling character or persona, I think it’s your responsibility to constantly change. That’s the only way you can become “hot” or do something good. That’s where I’m at now: I’m getting ready to evolve and get to the next stage.”

I mean this is how guys like the Undertaker and Chris Jericho became relevant today simply by evolving their personas on WWE TV and to that I completely agree with him.

Jim Ross To Undergo Surgery On Skin Cancer

And finally, Jim Ross has revealed on his Ross Report podcast (which I love by the way) that he's going to have surgery on his shoulder to remove some skin cancer on Thursday. Here's the full quote from him:

"I'm getting a little cancer surgery on Thursday. I'm having some more skin cancer removed from my shoulder. There's just a little of it left, but you want to get all of it. I'm getting that cut out on Thursday."

That really sucks that he has skin cancer on his shoulder and I hope he gets rid of it once and for all.

Well, I hope you're caught up with the news and let me know your thoughts on the news I just reported and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

The 5 News Week: WWE Backstage. Cancelled Or Nah?, Liv Morgan's Re-Debut Was Supposed To Be Different!?

I'm back on my BS because it's The 5 News Week where I report on the 5 major or minor news of the week hence the name "T he 5 News Week". Sorry for the week of absence. I took a week off of social media (except YouTube) due to the sadness I felt when reading those brave women and men tell their stories about the awful, terrible experiences they've had after their interactions with notable people in the industry. It made me question my fandom and whether I should be in the industry (wrestling media-wise) knowing that they are asshats that will take an advantage on people for no reason other than more power and control. This week proves that the business needs to wash all the old tropes that make it harder for people to express what's really going on especially when it pertains to serious issues like sexual assault, racism, sexism etc. I'm hoping that those stories will lead to a sudden change in every aspect of this profession and other ...

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now? Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994. There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

The 5 News Week: WWE Ditching Full Script Promos? NXT Superstars Still Expected To Move To The Main Roster?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. NXT Superstars Still Expected To Move To The Main Roster? Although the yellow brand is much better in terms of how they approach storylines subjectively speaking, of course, it is still a developmental brand after all even though it doesn't feel like so. I'm sure you guys have heard of reports (more specifically from post wrestling ) that a draft is coming next month and the NXT Superstars will still be called on either RAW or Smackdown hence not being treated as a third equal brand. That is all coming from Dave Meltzer and The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. I really enjoyed when the main roster guys like Tyson Kidd in 2014, Brezzago, Apollo Crews for a bit move to NXT and those moves makes that brand more legit but I and you guys should keep i...
