The 5 News Week: Everything You Need To Know About Bruce Prichard’s Creative Position In 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.

Everything You Need To Know About Bruce Prichard’s Creative Position In WWE. 

On February 23, Mike Johnson over at PWinsider reported that Bruce Prichard is back with WWE to work in the higher seat on the creative team and Bruce will be quote, “working directly with Vince McMahon on all things creative”. Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter said that the report was misrepresented or “overstated” as he said. 

Bruce Prichard himself talked about coming back to WWE in the latest episode of the “Something To Wrestle” podcast. Here's what he to say (This whole transcript came from the latest Pro Wrestling Sheet report about this story): 

“I’m extremely proud and extremely happy to be back in the family at WWE." “I had my first TVs back this past week. I had an absolute blast seeing everybody.” 

“I’m not being coy, but a lot still needs to be worked out as far as what my role will be. I’m going to come back and help out wherever I can be most valuable. We’re working through it, we’re figuring out where I might fit best and how and what and why and everything else. It’s something that happened pretty quickly with me going to TV.”

In that latest report from Pro Wrestling Sheet and Ryan Satin, the podcast will continue and release episodes every week as per usual. 

Jim Ross and Conrad Thompson Starting up A New Podcast.


Speaking of podcasts and Conrad Thompson, he and Jim Ross (who also has a great podcast of his own) are starting up a new podcast. We don't know what the podcast is about but Jim Ross stated in the recent episode of the “Ross Report” that it will be more entertaining. Hmm, intriguing. 

Dana Warrior Joins The WWE Creative Team. 

In unexpected and random news of that week, Dana Warrior joins the WWE creative team or at least that's what Ryan Satin over at Pro Wrestling Sheet said. In that report, Satin stated that she was on RAW and Smackdown Live this past week to give “an additional female perspective” but if things work out, warrior could be part of the creative team permanently. 

We don't know what her position is but that will come out in the near future. I completely understand where fans are coming from in the sense that she's not qualified to write for television but I think that Dana working with great creative minds in that department, she can do good and possibly improve over time in my opinion.

Sami Zayn Is Ready, Willing And Able To Return For In-Ring Action. 

Back in December of last year, WWE aired a video package on RAW basically saying that Sami is coming back soon. That same month, Sami Zayn stated in an interview with Chris Jericho on The Talk is Jericho podcast that he's quote, "not even close" to return for in-ring action. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer stated that Sami is ready to return. Hoping that he comes back after Wrestlemania season and stays as far away from Kevin Owens as possible. 

Billy Gunn On His New Role As AEW Producer. 

On the AEW rally in January, It was announced that Billy Gunn will be part of AEW as a producer. Gunn talked about his new role as producer in an interview with Wrestling INC

"They call me a head coach, we don’t use producer. My job will be to help the younger talent as we get going and I look forward to it. It. We have a lot of new, younger talent that needs to be developed and I’m gonna help them find their way. I’m not going to take control of talent. I’m just going to help them develop what they have.”

He continues on: 

We’re gonna be doing TV eventually and a lot of these kids don’t have the experience that I have with TV, and I’ll help them with that”

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 Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

WWE Hell In A Cell 2020 | A Coherent Review.

WWE is continuing the streak of shorter PPVs and as a guy that lives overseas, I don't mind WWE doing this even if the fans come back to arenas.   Also, The 2020 edition of Hell In A Cell had a decisive and conclusive ending. Yayyyyyy!  The show itself was okay but it did have its moments, to say the least.  pictures via WWE.com Roman Reigns vs Jey Uso. Hell In A Cell I Quit Match.  I gotta say.  It is so weird to hear boos that WWE adds in the background for Roman Reigns given the history they've had in altering actual boos from the crowd many years ago.  It is also weird for WWE to open this show with a match that main evented the previous PPV. The question is, was it worth it? Heck yeah, dude.  Both men hit each other's finishers not once but twice and it wasn't enough for Reigns and Jey Uso to quit.  At one point, the match was turned into a strap match of some sort because Roman and Jey tied themselves with that strap. Jey used the strap...

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...
