The 5 News Week: WWE Planning For A Queen Of The Ring Tournament Next Year? Vince McMahon Loves Corbin As Acting GM Of RAW.

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. 

WWE Planning For A Queen Of The Ring Tournament Next Year?

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE are pitching ideas for a possible Queen Of The Ring tournament next year. WWE hasn't done a King Of The Ring tournament since 2015 so it will be interesting on how they'll approach it if the idea turns into a reality. 

HBO Coming Out With A Kenny Omega Documentary In 2019

Well, a Canadian musician Joseph Shabason did an interview with the Kreative Kontrol podcast with Vish Khanna and he talked about his involvement in a Kenny Omega documentary that's coming out in 2019 and here's what he had to say (transcript via wrestling news source): 

"I just finished a documentary about a wrestler. That’s going to be coming out on HBO in the New Year, which is going to be really exciting.

It’s a wrestler named Kenny Omega. He’s a wrestler from Winnipeg, but went to Japan and formed this tag team called the Golden Lovers, which was sort of like the first ever queer storyline in wrestling. He’s a pretty incredible dude; I was really happy with scoring that."

This is huge considering that he's not a WWE employee and I'm not the biggest Kenny Omega fan but I cannot wait for this documentary to come out. 

Vince McMahon Loves Corbin As Acting GM Of RAW.

Baron Corbin was recently a guest on Booker T's podcast along with Brad Gilmore called Heated Conversations and during the interview, Corbin talked about how Vince loves him as acting GM of RAW (transcript via WrestleZone): 

"I was definitely nervous the first few times. It’s crazy, but I think they’re letting me have fun with it and do it my way and do it as me and Vince [McMahon] loves it. For the last four weeks, I’ve been the first 15 minutes of Monday Night RAW, which is crazy. That’s a John Cena spot. That’s a Roman Reigns spot and I’m doing it. 

 It’s a great opportunity and I love the challenge. I want to be able to do that every single week and fill it and people hate me for it and I love it. They despise that I’m on their TV six or seven times a night and that’s the best thing for me because then they’re following everything I’m doing. 

 If they hate me that much, they’re following everything I do. If they hate me that much, then they’re following everything I do and it’s just awesome, but it’s very exciting in a nervous way. It’s intimidating, but that’s what I do. That’s why I am good at what I do. That’s why I’ve always been successful because I’m really good under pressure."

Eric Bischoff Talks About His TEDx Talk Last Month

Eric Bischoff talked about his TEDx talk last month (which was very good by the way. Click here to watch the whole thing) in an interview with sports illustrated. Here are a few highlights: 

About his speech: “I had an entirely different talk laid out until the night before, and I woke up early in the morning and decided on the spot that I was going to completely change it up. Since I had so little time to prepare for it, I improv’d a lot of that, and it reminded me so much of the way we used to do some of the best promos we ever did.”

About the challenge of capturing an audience: “This was something I’d never done before, and I felt like I needed to get out in front of a live audience.” “It was a unique challenge and I have no plans to do it again, but never say never.”

WWE RAW 7/1/19 | My Coherent Review

My first RAW review of 2019 and surprisingly, this show was decent. Now, would RAW put on decent shows in the coming weeks or months? Probably not but I hope that's the case. Now, usually on my RAW and Smackdown Live reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad ( click here if you curious as to how the format looks like). However, since this is the new year, I'm gonna get rid of that and instead just put my in-depth thoughts just like my PPV reviews. Without further ado, on with the review.  Opening Segment The show itself started off with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley that lasted for a very short period of time. After that’s done, the opening segment started with John Cena and cuts a promo on how he’s gonna earn his golden ticket to Wrestlemania by entering in this year’s Royal Rumble match.  Out came Drew McIntyre and he said that Cena’s accomplishments is what Drew cares about. He then went on how he’s b...

The 5 News Week: The Current Plan For Eva Marie According To Reports.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  What’s Going On With The ShowBuzz Daily Website!? Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer has expressed concern regarding Showbuzz Daily not posting the daily TV rating due to technical issues stating (from Cagesideseats ) "all wrestling companies, TV companies, sports stations, etc. looked to that site for numbers.” The owner of the Showbuzz Daily entity, Mitch Metcalf, took to the blue hell that is Twitter and said that they can't add content to the site anymore over a shutdown that isn't clear as to what caused the shutdown itself.  Metcalf went on to highlight that due to operating the site without generating revenue, the cost and time to bring back the site has made him think about the future of ShowBuzz Daily.  Is...

WWE Super Showdown 2020 | My Coherent Review.

Super showdown 2020 was dull, boring and even frustrating at times. The two previous Saudi shows from last year were surprisingly okay but this was just a flavourless taste in my mouth and this is coming from the resident WWE shill. By far, the worst PPV of 2020 so far.  PRESHOW: The Viking Raiders vs The O.C. In Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson.  A skippable match that we've seen for the gazillionth time. Yay for unwanted repetition! The O.C wins. Cool.  MAIN-SHOW: AJ Styles vs. Andrade vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Erick Rowan vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio. Gauntlet Match for the Tuwaiq Trophy.  R Truth and Bobby Lashley started off this match and Truth wins via a roll-up. Lashley then attacks R Truth (like we've not seen that spot before) to which out came the second opponent of the night, the returning Andrade and the way that encounter ended was odd yet somehow not horrible.  Both men hit each other with their heads and Truth pins the guy to keep fight...
