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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
