The 5 News Week: WWE Panthering Up With Netflix to make Original Films? Seth Rollins On Almost Joining TNA Before WWE.

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 Panthering Up With Netflix to make Original Films?

WWE Studios has made mediocre films at best and according to Mike Johnson over at PWinsider, WWE Studios are going to produce and release films on Netflix but it's going to aim at family audiences. 

The first one, "The Main Event", is set to begin filming this summer. The premise is pretty much about a bullied 10-year-old boy with aspirations of becoming a pro wrestler. He then discovers that he has super strength by eating his breakfast cereal and calls himself "The Spaghetti Kid." 

The Miz, Bray Wyatt, John Cena and Sheamus will have cameo roles. Netflix has a track record of terrible movies and reading the premise of this movie, it really doesn't change much of how I feel about it. 

Tye Dillinger Returned To In-Ring Action Yesterday.

Yes Indeed. Tye Dillinger suffered a hand injury which kept him out of the ring for 4 months and returned to in-ring action at a house show in DeKalb, Illinois. By the way, somebody on Twitter asked him if he will come back to NXT and he responded with: 

 A Mark Key Match Considered For Summerslam? 

In an early Summerslam news report, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter and Dave Meltzer (click here for the Wrestling Inc version of the story) basically said that a mark key match has been "suggested" and "talked about". That match is Becky Lynch vs Stephanie McMahon and you know what that match is inspired by. Not a fan of that idea but I don't see it happening even though we haven't reached Wrestlemania yet.  

The Usos WWE Contract Reports. 

What is going on with almost every WWE wrestler's contract expiring news reports but it's good for guys like us. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com in a Smackdown Live review livestream on their Youtube channel, WWE are concerned that The Usos may not resign once their contract expires. Mike Johnson over at PWinsider says that their contract expires on April and WWE are in discussion about a new deal with the former 5-time tag team champions. 

Seth Rollins On Almost Joining TNA Before WWE. 

2019 Royal Rumble winner, Seth Rollins recently talked about how he almost joined TNA before WWE in a guest spot on the E&C Pod Of Awesomeness and here's what he had to say (click here to read the highlights via Wrestling Inc): 

 “While this is going on, I also get a call from, I wanna say it was D-Lo [Brown] was the first guy from TNA, he was producing TNA at the time and he knew my [ROH] contract was coming up. I think he was the first one to reach out to me and ask me if I’d be interested in going to TNA. And I was like, 

 ‘Well yeah, I’m interested in making more money and moving up, so, absolutely.’ He’s like, ‘Alright, well if you don’t mind, I’ll put you in touch with Terry Taylor, who was doing all the hiring and the firing in TNA at the time. And so Terry calls me, and basically tells me he wants to offer me a three year deal to come to TNA for substantially more money, and far less dates than what I was having to do in Ring of Honor, and a much easier style. And so I was like, ‘Oh, this sounds fantastic. This is great.’ Mind you, I hadn’t heard back from Johnny Ace yet. 

 He hadn’t called me, I couldn’t get a hold of him, nothing. I get this contract from TNA and I basically agree to it verbally with Terry Taylor on the phone. I say, ‘Oh yeah, it all looks great.’ They fax over the contract. Before I sign the contract, I call Ring of Honor and let them know what I’m interested in doing with TNA. At the time, ROH is being booked by Jim Cornette. 

 I don’t know if you guys have any experience with ‘ol Jimmy Cornette, but he’s quite the trip and he lost his mind when I told him I was going to sign with TNA! There are so many expletives in the conversation that followed that I can’t even repeat half of it. He was so irate…[Cornette] says, ‘You know what? Just let me make sure they’re doing you right. Send that contract over to me, send it to me before you sign it and send it back. I’m like, ‘Sh– Jim, alright, I’m just trying to make a buck, dawg. Sorry,’ ya know?

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 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 Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

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.  ...
