Lets Talk About The Ronda Rousey Leaving WWE Reports.

Related image
Alright. So yesterday, I was scrolling down my Twitter timeline and saw headlines from a bunch of the wrestling news sites that basically says "Ronda Rousey Reportedly Leaving WWE After Wrestlemania". That got my attention and I clicked on one of the articles on my timeline. After that, I read other articles on that same story. 

The ones that I've read all used the same quote from Dave Meltzer in his recent Observer Newsletter which is "very good chance" meaning that there's a higher chance that she could leave WWE after Wrestlemania 35. Don't know why their headlines were different than Dave's quote which is the reason why I'm writing this but I'll continue.   

Ryan Satin over at Pro Wrestling Sheet said that Ronda Rousey taking a break to start a family is part of her contract but it's not set in stone yet. A spokesperson in WWE told TMZ that "Ronda Rousey is under contract with WWE until April 10, 2021. Whether she wants to start a family is a private matter.

Now, what did we learn from this? Well, first of all, TMZ is more credible than half of the wrestling news sites. Second of all, this is a good example of how some pro wrestling sites mislead their readers and I've admittedly made that mistake before when I write news articles. Moral of the story, ALWAYS when you read a news report, check who's the source of it. The fact that I see some people doing that on Twitter is a pretty encouraging sign. 

What do you guys think? Sound off in the comments below and stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...

A rare Saturday edition of 5 news week but if you're new here, I publish this weekly news article every Sunday and the format goes like this.  I report on 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately and I put them in one post.  Yes, there was a lot of news that dropped in a single day but since I'm posting this on Saturday morning, the 4 news this week is before Friday.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...
