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

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.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom. Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys. The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry: "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli. Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

The 5 News Week Look Back At Each Individual Highlight Of Zack Ryder, Lio Rush as Cruiserweight Championship, The Writer Behind The Otis And Mandy Rose Story.

April 15th, 2020 is a memorable day for me. It is definitely the saddest and noteworthy day of not only mine and the fans' lives but as well as the performers and staff who were affected by this. I am of course referring to the day that WWE released dozens of talented, hard-working people. For those who are new, I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week and that was the original plan. However, since this week is probably going to be known in the future for the releases, I want to instead document 5 of the performers and staff's individual highlights in their tenure with WWE. Understand that without the hardworking wrestlers, producers, ring crew, writers and the rest of the staff doing what they do best, there wouldn't be a Playard Wrestling Post. Without further ado, Ladies and gentlemen, this is The 5 News Week Look Back. How Zack Ryder's Popularity In 2011 Played A Role In WWE's YouTube Strategy Today. It's hard to believe ...

Priscilla Kelly Used A Tampon In A Wrestling Match: Right Or Wrong?

If you have been away from social media for the past day or so, a wrestler by the name of Priscilla Kelly (who by the way, recently competed in the second Mae Young Classic tournament) competed in a match in which she pulled out her tampon and put it on her rival's mouth. That struck the wrestling world on Twitter with differences of opinions. She did respond to this on Twitter and here's what she had to say: Hey guys. Ya know, it's all fake. 21+ show with a bar. Can't take life so serious all the time. Call me what you will... 🌹 — The Priscilla Kelly (@priscillakelly_) January 5, 2019 What do I think of this? I don't understand why this became as viral as it is considering that we've seen hardcore, brutal, disgusting stuff in a wrestling match before. However, it did get an "ugh" reaction out of me. Was it right or wrong that she did this? My answer is none considering that wrestling is subjective and there's no such thing ...
