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. 

Gail Kim On Her Favourite Matches In WWE 

Even though she doesn't really talk about WWE all that much, she has put some decent matches in WWE whether if it's on her first or second run with the company. A fan on Twitter asked Gail Kim on her best matches in WWE and she replied with.......
She also replies to fans on her WWE wrestling memories


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. 

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 Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

  It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason.  Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed.  There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO."  pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020.  The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars.  Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G.  Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff.  You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is.  Maybe I'm igno...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Fyter Fest 2020 Came Back Swinging?

Last week, on this very series, I said that I enjoyed Great American Bash better than Fyter Fest.  Well, this week is the exact opposite. AEW came in swinging with night 2 Fyter Fest.  I've not liked a Dynamite episode in several weeks so it's nice to see that the show finally executed a great show since God knows how long.   NXT      Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Mia Yim vs Candice LeRae In A Street Fight. The match went underway after Yim quickly attacked Candice LeRae during LeRae's entrance.  In the crowd area, Candice tried to nail the suplex on the table but Yim got out of that position and kicked her to which she landed through the table.  The Streetfight concluded with LeRae striking Yim with the brass knuckles followed by a swinging neck from the top of the table onto a bunch of chairs and that's how LeRae defeats the HBIC.  A fun opening match even though...

THE Coherent AEW Take: Christian Dior, Dior. Eddie Kingston up in all the stores!

Ever since AEW Dynamite was on Saturday night for a bit, I've been WAY behind on AEW content so excuse my ignorance. And It's Full Gear weekend which means another PPV that would last longer than the Snyder cut.  Sheeit, I'll bet the collar and elbow hold alone from the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega championship match, is longer than the entire Queen's Crown tournament.  As far as how I feel about both programs this week, well.  They did an okay job on building towards the final AEW PPV of the year this Saturday. Rampage.   Highlights.  Bryan Danielson vs Anthony Bowens.  And no, the highlight doesn't include Max Caster's verses. I'll rather listen to f**king Riff Raff than Max Caster's dig on anything.  The worst part, people are probably going to look at this and say, "can't wait for a Max Caster's appearance on Wild 'N Out!"  With that being said, this opening match was good. Danielson wins with the rebel lock.  Eddie Kingston (wi...
