WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Predictions.

This show had three weeks of build instead of the usual four considering that Crown Jewel happened this month (click here to check out my review for that) but will the show be any good? Will have to wait until tomorrow but first, here are my coherent and honest predictions for Survivor Series 2018.   

(Kick-Off Show) Tag team Survivor Series Match

Honestly, I don't care if either RAW or Smackdown Live wins this match but if I had to pick I'll go with.......

WINNER: Smackdown Live Team

(MAIN SHOW) Buddy Murphy (c) vs Mustafa Ali for the Cruiserweight Championship 

Even though I admittedly don't watch 205 Live all that much, I do think based on watching some of their matches that they are a great talent so there's no reason why they can't give us a classic. However, Buddy Murphy just won the championship at Super Showdown a month ago and having Mustafa Ali win the title this Sunday just doesn't feel like that it's the best time for a title change. 

WINNER: Buddy Murphy 

AOP (RAW Tag Team Champion) vs The Bar (Smackdown Tag Team Champion) 

Another match that I necessarily don't care but with the untrustworthy Big Show being on The Bar's corner, The dynamic between him and AOP could be interesting. 

WINNER: AOP

Seth Rollins (Intercontinental Champion) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (United States Champion)  

  
This is the match that I and others are looking forward to the most. Unfortunately, the build was pretty much nonexistent. I get that WWE are progressing the storyline between Seth and Dean but this is a mark key match that we haven't seen before and to just have a minimum build for this is disappointing. With that being said, I'll go with Nakamura because he needs to look legit as champion in my opinion. 

WINNER: Shinsuke Nakamura

Women's 5 on 5 Survivor Series Match

I wish that the 5th spot for the Smackdown Women's team is a wrestler we haven't seen in the WWE in years but it is most likely going to be Mandy Rose. RAW's team is not appealing I mean 1 babyface and 4 heels like really WWE? 

Since Ronda Rousey is going to face Nia Jax for the championship, I think that WWE are booking her to not only dominate in this match but also win the whole thing just to make her look good going into TLC next month but that's just me. 

WINNER: Team RAW 

Ronda Rousey (RAW Women's Champion) vs Charlotte Flair 

This match could main event this PPV given that Ronda and Charlotte are very popular and they're good wrestlers in my opinion. It's unfortunate that Becky is not going to compete in this match but even if she was clear to compete, I would still pick the same winner and that winner is.......

WINNER: Ronda Rousey 

Men's 5 on 5 Survivor Series Match

Since Balor build dissension with Dolph Ziggler and Drew Mcintyre on RAW this week, I could see team Smackdown win this match but this could be a fun match if they play the game (no pun intended) right. 

WINNER: Team Smackdown

Daniel Bryan (WWE Champion) vs Brock Lesnar (Universal Champion) 

Since Bryan is now a heel (which you can click here for my thoughts on the heel turn) I feel like this match has a bit of an unpredictable feel to it with Bryan's heel tactics. However, there is no way that Bryan will ever win this match. I've been wanted those guys to face each other for years and now I'm finally getting it which is rather exciting. 

WINNER: Brock Lesnar

The 5 New Week's 2nd Anniversary And What I've Learned From Writing About News.

WHAT? A second 5 News Week article of the week? Preposterous.  The reason why I'm writing this is that 2 years ago to this day, October 28th 2018 was the inaugural 5 News Week piece.  I thought to celebrate this day, I want to share to all of the young, aspiring news writers what I've learned from the 2 years I've been writing pro wrestling news  (which has mostly been WWE news because let's be real, I am the resident WWE shill).  Here we go.  Stock images via pexels.com #1: Research And Fact-Checking.  When approaching a piece of news that comes to your news feed, it is important to research the news piece itself so that you're giving the viewer/reader a context as to what's happening.  Which is why your favourite talk show programs like Last Week Tonight, values their research team to analyze the world around them and what can be done through history.  Another reason as to why research is valuable for information is, of course, fact-checking....

WWE RAW 5/8/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW didn't prepare the biggest party of the summer very well and detailed but if I was a party planner, I'll give this a pass.  After the entire WWE paid tribute to the horrific mass shooting in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio with a ten bell salute, an opening intro has been played for the first time in a year and then, Samoa Joe cut a promo on the announce table shouting loud and clear that he had nothing to do with the end segment last week on SmackDown Live.  That was a different way to open the show and I absolutely love it. Short, quick and to the point.  Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair vs Natalya and Trish Stratus.  During the match, Natalya locked Lynch in the sharpshooter and not letting go of that hold after Becky caught the middle to break the hold which caused the match to end in a DQ. Trish tried to separate Nattie to which Nattie herself purposely pushed Trish.  Rey Mysterio vs Andrade.  Completely un...

The 5 News Week: What's With The Story Of WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?

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.  This past week was filled with news so  fasten your virtual seat belts because this is gonna be a long one. Without further ado, here are The 5 News Week.  What's With The Story That WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?  This confusion all started when some fans (including myself) saw the headline from a well-respected publication "WWE In Talks Talks to Sell PPV Rights to Another ‘Major’ Streaming Service." That publication is The Wrap and the article pretty much talked about what Vinne Mac said in the Q4 2019 earnings report about the possibility of putting their content to a major streaming service or enhance the prize point to a tiered payment but the deal to quote The Wrap " if made — would be announced by next month.". Did the old man say this? Let...
