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.

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...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

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...
