The 5 News Week: WWE Filed A Trademark For WWE Stomping Ground, Ric Flair On Whether AEW should compete with 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 Filed A Trademark For WWE Stomping Grounds.

So, this is interesting. On the 15th of April aka this past Monday, WWE trademarked “WWE Stomping Grounds”. From PWinsider, it describes:

“G & S: Entertainment services, namely, a show about professional wrestling; entertainment services, namely, the production and exhibition of professional wrestling events rendered live and through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing wrestling news and information through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fans; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment”.

I don’t know what type of show they’re gonna produce but it should be interesting.

Update On Road Dogg’s Story Of Him Leaving As Co-Lead Writer.

Speaking of PWinsider, according to Mike Johnson, The D-O-Double G was not on the Smackdown Live tapings this past week and will be quote “taking an extended break from the company as all involved assess the situation and see where he may fit in going forward”. Instead, Ryan Ward supervised the responsibilities that Dogg usually inspects on the creative team.

If you don’t know already, Road Dogg stepped down as co-lead writer for Smackdown Live due to Vince McMahon changing scripts and Dogg reached a “breaking point” on the Smackdown Live after Wrestlemania 35.

Reason As To Why Samoa Joe Didn’t Show Up On RAW This Past Week.

From Fightful select (which is Fightful’s premium service for exclusive content of theirs. Click here to read the free version of that report), Samoa Joe couldn’t be part of RAW this week due to an illness that was bad that it was “to the point of barely functioning”. Yikes. Wishing him the fastest of recovery (if that makes anything sense).

Ric Flair On Whether AEW should compete with WWE.

Brian Campbell over at CBSsports.com recently interviewed the nature boy, Ric Flair and talked about a variety of topics including about AEW. He’s what he had to say if AEW should compete with WWE or not:

“I don't think [AEW] should focus on the competition [with WWE] as much as just developing their own product. Their success will come from that. The word competition is great. People love that part of time in the world, but this will be the first time someone with the kind of money that [Jacksonville Jaguars co-owner] Tony [Khan] brings.”

By the way, I cannot wait to watch that roast of Ric Flair on the FITE TV app.

Mark Henry Believes That WWE Doesn’t Have A Diversity Problem.

The world strongest man, Mark Henry recently spoke with TMZ and in it, he mentions that WWE doesn’t have a diversity problem and it’s improving. Here’s what he said after that:

"When I came into wrestling there were 3 people, 3 black people in the company. There is growth. There is a future for the African-American in pro wrestling, and ya know, I want to be a part of that as much as I can."

I'll let you guys chime in on that.

What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table. As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good. An Image via WWE.com Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner). BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO! Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!" Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess? Smackdown. The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k. The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself. As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title. Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship. Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent. The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch. The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it. Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness". The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules. So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender. That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener. Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual. When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
