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.

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...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
