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

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. 

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.

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
