The 5 News Week: Kurt Angle To Speak About His Future On RAW This Week, Sam Roberts On His Comments About Bianca Belair.

After a month-long hiatus, The 5 news week is back with some spicy news in the world of professional wrestling. If you are new here, basically in 1 post I report on 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.

Kurt Angle To Speak About His Future On RAW This Week.

After his loss to Baron Corbin on the RAW after the Royal Rumble, he took to Instagram to say this:

Is WWE building a storyline similar to Ric Flair's back in 2008? Will have to watch RAW to find out.

Sam Roberts On His Comments About Bianca Belair.

Sammy, sammy, sammy. If you don't know, Sam Roberts aired his views on Bianca Belair at the Preshow for NXT Takeover: Pheonix (which you can click here to read my review for it). Sammy addressed his remarks on Belair in a recent episode of the Sam Roberts' Wrestling Podcast and here's what he had to say:

"WWE invites me to those kickoff shows and they ask me to give my opinion on things. On Saturday night, I was not fed an opinion in my ear — I know that’s one of the theories. I have never been fed an opinion in my ear. They wouldn’t bring me to give their opinion — I’m no good at that. I go on, they ask me to be me and give my opinion. I had a crisis of conscience. In that moment, I felt like I was just going along with the show, so I decided to say exactly how I felt in that moment."

Mark Henry Addresses About Fans Hating On Ronda Rousey.

Mark Henry spoke about fans booing Ronda Rousey in his Sirius XM radio show along with Bubba Ray and Dave Legreca called "Busted Open Radio" (transcript via WrestlingInc):

“Ronda falls under the same category as Michael Jordan, she falls in the same category as Larry Bird, and LeBron [James], and guys that are Kevin Duran, like, she is great!” Henry exclaimed. “She suffers from the greatness hate. Brady has been to the Superbowl nine times, he’s won five of nine. There’s a lot of quarterbacks that never get to go to a Superbowl. Why would you ever hate somebody that was better than Joe Montana? Yeah, I said it! [Brady] was better than Joe Montana. And Ronda is getting the great hate, and we’ll talk about that later, but I’m just saying, of course there’s gonna be people that has animosity against her. Because she earned a level of respect that most of us will never see.”

“[Rousey] shows up at the airport, ‘Hey Ms. Rousey, can I get your bags?,'” Henry imitated. “You get to the car, ‘Can I stop and can I get you anything? You want something to drink? You want something to eat? You need to stop and use the restroom – anything you need, just let me know. I’m here for you.’ You walk in the room, you bypass all the tables and you go to the front. ‘Oh, I’m sorry, you’re not in the front. We’re gonna put you on stage.’ Ronda’s getting the level of attention and the level of greatness that people will never ever see. Even the best won’t see that kind of stuff because there’s only a few Muhammad Ali’s, there’s only a few Michael Jordans, and there’s a Ronda Rousey. And for somebody to hate that means they’re, 1. jealous, 2. not understanding of what greatness looks like up close.”

An Interesting Statistic From Cagesideseats About Rusev.

Cageside seats brought up an interesting statistic about how Rusev hasn't won a PPV match since July of 2016 and hasn't been in the main show card since July of last year. Yikes. A great example of WWE's inconsistent and just bad booking.

Triple H on Vince McMahon Showcasing The Future.

Triple H was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated and talked about a wide variety of topics but the interesting thing about it was his comments on Vince Mcmahon showcasing the future:

“Vince is focused on showcasing the future, and he pushed to make this happen,” “He was the most supportive one. This is a big opportunity to go out, in essence, and perform in front of the world.”

I'll let you guys interpret that.

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why. (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments. Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing. Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall. After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion. (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

Netflix's The Main Event | A Coherent Review.

Last spring, WWE had announced that they've partnered with Netflix to create content via their movie division on the streaming service. In other words, Netflix decided to feature even more badly marketed and awfully made movies. Luckily, WWE's latest joint isn't that bad at all. Don't get me wrong, it's no " Marriage Story " but, it does pull off a capable effort of telling a story about being yourself (warning, this review contains a few minor spoilers). The premise of this movie goes like this. An 11-year-old wrestling fan named Leo (played by Seth Carr) finds a luchador mask that gives him superhuman strength and agility. He then applied his new-found powers to in-ring action where he competes in a $50,000 WWE NXT tournament. If it sounds familiar, that is because it's pretty much the premise of the film " Like Mike " with obvious differences like this movie is wrestling themed instead of basketball, it stars an 11-yea...

WWE Smackdown 20/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

That CM Punk return was so noteworthy, it blew this entire episode out of the water. That’s it. That’s the opening statement. Images via WWE.com Edge Wasn't Playing When He Said That He'll Put Seth Into Darkness. The show started off with the Rated R superstar saying that Rollins has made the guy find his heart when the blood runs black. In other words, he'll beat the shit out of Rollins at slamming of summer. Speaking of "the blood runs black", after Seth Rollins gave a speech on how he can't be on Sethy's level, the man that says "drip" more times than a white dude that streams on Twitch, was covered in black liquid following Gangrel's theme song playing in the background. Edge ain't f**king around. I appreciated the uniqueness of the segment and how it was a tribute to WWE's continuity (which if you've been watching WWE for a longer period of time then you'll know that WWE acknowledging their storytelling cohesion ...
