The 5 News Week: Cody And The Young Bucks Behind A Wrestling Promotion!?, Smackdown and RAW TV Ratings

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. 

Cody And The Young Bucks Behind A Wrestling Promotion!?

Now, reports were going around the interwebs that Chris Jericho and Jim Ross were working on a new promotion backed up by the billionaire co-owner of Jacksonville Jaguars Tony Khan. Since those reports came out, both men denied it. However, the story isn't done yet because according to Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet, Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks are the masterminds behind the company. 

WrestlingNews.co reported a story on multiple trademarks filed by a wrestling company called All Elite Wrestling, LLC such as AEW, AEW Double Or Nothing, AEW All Out, Tuesday Night Dynamite, ALL OUT, Double Or Nothing and All Elite Wrestling. 

Wrestletalk reported that at least two WWE superstars were personally approached on signing a new contract with that promotion once their WWE contracts expire. It is believed that they have accepted the deal and will leave WWE early next year. More specifically, April at the latest. 

They (Wrestletalk) haven't said on who those superstars are but expect the names to be revealed very soon. All I can say is that this could possibly be a gamechanger for the pro wrestling business and I'm interested in where this story goes. 

Smackdown and RAW TV Ratings

The RAW and Smackdown Live after the last big four PPV of the year Survivor Series ratings have been revealed and it's okay I guess? This week, RAW even with Monday Night Football going on at the same time, drew 2.49 million while Smackdown Live brought in at 2.15 million viewers with Smackdown Live ranked #2 on the top 50 original cable telecast for November 20, 2018 according to Showbuzz Daily

Braun Strowman Out Of Action Due To An Injury

Braun Strowman is in fact, injured and will not compete in the mixed match challenge due to a shattered elbow. His surgery is set for Monday, November 26 according to Mike Johnson over at PWInsider and it is believed to be a minor injury if the surgery is done. As of right now, WWE hasn't announced a replacement for Braun Strowman. I wish him the speediest of recovery. 

Two Matches Set For RAW This Coming Week

Oh boy, Two "exciting" matchups have been announced for the 26 November 2018 edition of RAW which is this Monday (No shit, Omar). One is a Tag team Title Match Between AO PEE PEE and the team of Bobby Roode and Chad Gable. Two is Elias vs Black Lex Luger, Bobby Lashley.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

The 5 News Week Look Back At Each Individual Highlight Of Zack Ryder, Lio Rush as Cruiserweight Championship, The Writer Behind The Otis And Mandy Rose Story.

April 15th, 2020 is a memorable day for me. It is definitely the saddest and noteworthy day of not only mine and the fans' lives but as well as the performers and staff who were affected by this. I am of course referring to the day that WWE released dozens of talented, hard-working people.  For those who are new, I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week and that was the original plan.  However, since this week is probably going to be known in the future for the releases, I want to instead document 5 of the performers and staff's individual highlights in their tenure with WWE.  Understand that without the hardworking wrestlers, producers, ring crew, writers and the rest of the staff doing what they do best, there wouldn't be a Playard Wrestling Post. Without further ado, Ladies and gentlemen, this is The 5 News Week Look Back.  How Zack Ryder's Popularity In 2011 Played A Role In WWE's YouTube Strategy Today.  It's hard to believe ...

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 ...
