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.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...

WWE Smackdown 14/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

WOAH, WOOOOOAH *Insert drums* BURN IT DOWN *insert more drums* Don't know why I just quoted Seth Rollins' theme song. Probably because I'm bored and have nothing else better to do on a Saturday afternoon (which explains the Smackdown review).  Now, how was the show? It was aight.  The Viking Raiders vs Angel And Humberto Carrillo vs Jinder Mahal And Shank vs Mansoor And Cesaro. Winner Gets A Blue Tag Belt Opportunity.  The best part about all of this was The Usos introduction of all 4 members. Gotta say, they're pretty natural at this and wouldn't mind them doing ring announcing full time.  The only thing they should avoid is threatening somebody with WWE lawyers.  The Viking Raiders won the whole thing and all I can say is, finally! No more Viking Raiders vs Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss matches.  Why WWE Be Messing With Sami Like That!?  That "InZayn" stunt show is sad to watch. He should've been doing so much better than trying to do knockoff Jacka**...
