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.

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...

WWE Smackdown 14/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

WOAH, WOOOOOAH *Insert drums* BURN IT DOWN *insert more drums* Don't know why I just quoted Seth Rollins' theme song. Probably because I'm bored and have nothing else better to do on a Saturday afternoon (which explains the Smackdown review).  Now, how was the show? It was aight.  The Viking Raiders vs Angel And Humberto Carrillo vs Jinder Mahal And Shank vs Mansoor And Cesaro. Winner Gets A Blue Tag Belt Opportunity.  The best part about all of this was The Usos introduction of all 4 members. Gotta say, they're pretty natural at this and wouldn't mind them doing ring announcing full time.  The only thing they should avoid is threatening somebody with WWE lawyers.  The Viking Raiders won the whole thing and all I can say is, finally! No more Viking Raiders vs Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss matches.  Why WWE Be Messing With Sami Like That!?  That "InZayn" stunt show is sad to watch. He should've been doing so much better than trying to do knockoff Jacka**...

We're back. Well, I'm back given that I do this all by myself but in any case, The 5 News Week has returned to your feeds wherever ever it may be. In case you're new here, basically, in one article I share the 5 major or minor news of the week. Now, there were a lot of news that I've missed in 3 weeks including a story of a WWE shareholder suing WWE and Vince McMahon (how the hell didn't I report about this?).  I'm rambling on so without further useless explanations, here are the 5 News Week.  Bret Hart. The Next Guest On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions? Steve Austin has interviewed some of the wrestlers he has faced over the years on his Broken Skull Sessions show with the exception of Goldberg other than a few stare downs in a feud that everyone wishes to forget.  Another person that is no stranger to the rattlesnake is the hitman himself Bret Hart and he's reportedly the next guest. From PWInsider and Mike Johnson, Bret was in the City ...
