The 5 News Week: RAW Tag Team Championship Belt Reportedly Getting A Redesign Plus So Much More.

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.

RAW Tag Team Championship Belt Reportedly Getting A Redesign. 

Both the RAW and the Smackdown Live Tag Team Championships belt design looks like in need of a desperate makeover for years now and according to a report from Heel By Nature, a belt insider by the name of Belt Fan Dan (cool name by the way) said that WWE has contracted Dave McMillan to design the men's tag team titles for RAW and Smackdown. 

Dave McMillan is the same person that designed the "penny" tag team title belts and debuted it in 2010. The report also stated that the "penny" design was actually the design for the women's tag team championship but later WWE scrapped it because they didn't like it. Thank God.

TJP Responded To The Rumoured Reason As To His WWE Release. 

As you might know, TJP has been let go from WWE under the 205 live brand. The rumoured reason is because of his tattoos apparently but TJ Perkins has responded to this on twitter and here's what he had to say: 


Damien Sandow On His Acting Career And If He Could Wrestle Again. 

The great Chris Van Vleet posted his latest interview with Damien Sandow on Youtube (click here to watch it) about his next chapter in life but Sandow also talked about his acting career and if he could wrestle again (shout out to WrestlingInc for the transcript): 

"Right now I'm really just trying to focus on acting but that doesn't mean I'm never going to step in a ring again because let's face it, everyone says 'I'm done, I'm done' and everyone comes back and I'm just not going to be that guy." "What if I do get an itch someday? I don't want to niche myself into saying 'I'm just an actor.' No, I'm me. I'm trying acting and digging it but that doesn't mean I'm going to deny my past."

Ricochet Comments About Which Brand He'll Go To. 

Ricochet, who by the way was a part of the highest rated RAW show of 2019 so far recently talked about which brand he'll go to in a short interview with WPSD Local 6: 

“I will be on RAW and SmackDown going forward. At least until after Mania. After Mania, it’s gonna be one or the other. I’m assuming, I don’t know. But that’s what I’m assuming. But yes, going forward, I am now an official member of RAW and/or SmackDown.” (Transcript via WrestlingNews.co). 

Well, I hope you're caught up with the news and let me know your thoughts on the news I just reported. Follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions and stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why.  The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar).  During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments.  Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten.  They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day.  ...

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee.  It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that.  If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family.  After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint.  I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day.  So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness.  Now, Ho...

WWE Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall.  Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead.  If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind.  Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship.  Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment.  All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage.  Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...
