The 5 News Week: JBL Doesn't Like Cody Rhodes All That Much I Think?, Aleister Blank Going To The Main Roster Soon?

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. 

JBL Doesn't Like Cody Rhodes All That Much I Think?

JBL, you know the guy that blocks half of the universe on Twitter said some crappy things about Cody Rhodes and also mentioned Cody's late father, Dusty Rhodes via a series of tweets while he was celebrating his 52nd birthday and watching an NFL game. Now, the tweets of Cody himself are still up as of me writing this but he has since deleted the tweets that mentioned Dusty and apologised and here's what JBL had to say: 










 An Update To The AEW Wrestling Story 

Speaking of Cody Rhodes, he actually acknowledged the speculations of a new promotion called AEW Wrestling during a meet in greet in Melbourne, Australia. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and Dave Meltzer, Cody said that fans will have to wait for a big announcement in January. 

The Young Bucks addressed the trademarks that were filled in the new episode of Wrestling Perspective Podcast with IMPACT star Petey Williams and stated that they filled it in order to protect themselves in case they wanna do something with it. Nick Jackson mentioned that they haven't said no to anything but their options (referring to the offers that were given by major wrestling promotions according to them) are open. 

Enzo Amore’s Songs Has Less Than 2,500 Streams On Spotify 

This news doesn't really come to a surprise considering that his concert had less than 35 people in attendance according to Bodyslam.net. Now going with "Real1", his album got less than 2,500 streams on Spotify. Oh, by the way, His album didn't even sell 10,000 copies. Let's just say that his album flopped. 

Aleister Black Going To The Main Roster Soon?

According to The Wrestling Observer Radio and Dave Meltzer, Dave basically stated that he "keeps hearing" of Black's promotion (demotion as I like to call it) to the main roster but hasn't mentioned when. Will see whether he's a victim of bad booking or not once he's in the main roster. 

WWE Can Buy and Shut Down UK Promotions Reportedly Of Course. 

WWE has a great partnership with UK promotions such as ICW, PROGRESS and WXW. Hence, having their NXT UK talent perform only in those promotions per Wrestletalk. Good old Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that even though WWE would cost them "high six figures" to purchase UK promotions, WWE can buy and shut down UK promotions at any time for several years. 

If they actually implement that then WWE are killing competition which means no tension and no innovation. If it wasn't for competition then WWE would've not survived the Monday Night War in my opinion. 

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.

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...

Did the old man say this? Let...
