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 RAW 29/3/21 | A Coherent Review.

Once again, this show was mediocre as f**k.  Images via WWE.com   The Hurt Business Is No More. Why? Because WWE hates friendships. All lame jokes aside, the actual reason is that Cedric Alexander and Shelton didn't get the job done on taking out Drew McIntyre.  Alexander and Benjamin weren't too happy with Bobby's words and it led to a brawl.   Wow. It looks like Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander will go right back to not being on TV for a longer period of time. I don't like this at all!  Riddle suggested an idea to Titus O'Neil of a Wrestlemania roast to which the guy was attacked by Sheamus. Speaking of Sheamus and Riddle…… Riddle vs Sheamus.  I ain't a fan of Riddle but he and Sheamus have incredible chemistry because this match was fun. Sheamus pinned the US champion.  After the match, Riddle pushed Sheamus to the outside. I smell a rematch happening at Wrestlemania.  Shane McMahon Calls Braun Strowman Dumb By Bringing up Strowman's Fifth Grade Repo

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be.  Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.  McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules.  Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater.  In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year.  So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match?  It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
