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...

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
