The 5 News Week: Mostly AEW News Edition.

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. Sorry for not posting The 5 new week for two weeks straight, I've just been busy for the past few Sundays now. 

AEW To Air Their Weekly Programming On Canada’s TSN Channel? 

To all the Canadians especially, read up because according to Jason Agnew (who's a Canadian television producer), he stated in a tweet that AEW is in talks to air their weekly show on TSN or The Sports Network if you don't know what the abbreviation stands for. 

He further elaborated by saying that the deal is quote "not a No from the network". Fun fact, this is the same network that aired both RAW and WCW's Monday Night Nitro. 

Obviously, that's not gonna happen considering that WWE aires both RAW and Smackdown Live on Sportsnet 360 (No shit, Omar). 

An Interesting Statistic That’s Been Brought Up About Sami Zayn’ Direct Reference of AEW.

So, a Reddit user by the name of JJSmith1987 showed an interesting statistic on the Square Circle SubReddit about how Zayn's mention of AEW on the third hour of RAW before the main event got a big spike in search results.

WWE Superstars Thinking Of Jumping Ship To AEW. 

Angel Rodriguez over at wrestlingnews.co wrote a fantastic article about how WWE stars were thinking of leaving their current spot to AEW mainly because of the brutal WWE schedule. 

Rodriguez mentions the Observer Newsletter's version of the story and a great Jon Moxley interview with Wade Keller seemly confirming the Observer story. 

Now, Dave Meltzer noted in the Newsletter that the NXT stars also thought of leaving WWE which is interesting. 

News On WWE’s Current Plan With The 24/7 Title. 

The 24/7 Title. That title got some mix opinions from fans and pundits alike but it seems like the title is not going to go away anytime soon. From The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the current plan for the championship is to have the title be defended on their social media accounts at the performance centre in between shows. 

Funny enough, Wrestlingnews.co and Angel Rodriguez brought up an interesting point about how the FOX side of things will have any effect on that title (which trust me, it will) considering that FOX wants more of a serious product which you can click here to learn more about that. 

Also, Jinder Mahal just took the 24/7 championship at a golf cart in minutes before Truth got the title back which was an entertaining segment so there's that.  

Batista On Going Broke After Not Resigning With WWE In 2010. 

Dave Batista was recently in the Denver Pop Culture Con and revealed that he struggled after not resigning with WWE. Here's what he had to say about that: 

"I starved for three years. I went broke. I lost everything. I couldn’t get a job and I said that I will never go back to wrestling until I prove what I set out to prove, and that was that I can make it as an actor.”

He then went on to talk about how he didn't want to be an actor in the first place:

“I had zero interest in acting, all I wanted to do was wrestle. I loved wrestling, I was obsessed with wrestling, and I went and did a film as a favor for a friend and I realized I was horrible. I was a horrendous actor. I was so mortified that I wanted to prove I could be better. WWE would not allow me to do anything outside of the company.”

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...

WWE Wrestlemania 36 Night One | A Coherent Review.

When they announced that Wrestlemania was going to take place in two nights, I was hesitant mainly because I prefer a single show with meaningful matches and not the exact opposite spanned between two shows.  So far, the wrestling Gods proved me wrong. Wrestlemania 36 Night número uno was a great show. WWE gave me an escape that is desperately needed especially in this unique circumstance and I'm sure some of you guys feel this way too. As a tradition on this site, I haven’t seen the pre-show match so I can’t talk about it. Now, on with the review.  Before the show, Stephanie McMahon stated the usual thing. You know "in these times, we will entertain you". They then had the compilation of all the singers that sang America the beautiful which is actually pretty cool.  That led to this year's pirate-themed Wrestlemania opening and it was unique obviously but what makes it different is the humour in it which was fine.  The Kabuki Warriors vs Alexa Bliss And Ni...

The 5 News Week: Master P Buying House Of Glory!?, NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!?

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 . Sorry for not posting in two days. Just some personal stuff I gotta deal with and my Coherent Wednesdays review was a bit rushed and I want to nail it in a no pun intended, coherent matter if that makes any sense? Hopefully, my reviews will get better in the coming weeks.  Master P Buying House Of Glory!?  A great example of human beings having an unpredictable nature to them (ask Vince McMahon), Master P was interviewed somewhere in Manhattan and he announced that he has brought an independent wrestling promotion based in New York called House Of Glory or HOG which was founded by Brian XL and Impact Alumni Amazing Red in 2014.  PWInsider and Mike Johnson gave an update to this story stating that Master P will deliver the "muscle and production team" goi...
