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.”

WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

  It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason.  Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed.  There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO."  pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020.  The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars.  Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G.  Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff.  You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is.  Maybe I'm igno...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Fyter Fest 2020 Came Back Swinging?

Last week, on this very series, I said that I enjoyed Great American Bash better than Fyter Fest.  Well, this week is the exact opposite. AEW came in swinging with night 2 Fyter Fest.  I've not liked a Dynamite episode in several weeks so it's nice to see that the show finally executed a great show since God knows how long.   NXT      Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Mia Yim vs Candice LeRae In A Street Fight. The match went underway after Yim quickly attacked Candice LeRae during LeRae's entrance.  In the crowd area, Candice tried to nail the suplex on the table but Yim got out of that position and kicked her to which she landed through the table.  The Streetfight concluded with LeRae striking Yim with the brass knuckles followed by a swinging neck from the top of the table onto a bunch of chairs and that's how LeRae defeats the HBIC.  A fun opening match even though...

WWE Smackdown 4/2/22 | A Coherent Review.

 Gotta be honest guys, this episode didn't do it for me.  Besides the announcement of Ronda Rousey challenging Charlotte Flair for the blue women's belt at Wrestlemania as well as another challenge proposed by Goldberg aka NoBerg to the tribal chief, this, like last week's show, was as skippable as an anime filler episode.  Paul Heyman Was Like, "F**k That Brock Guy!"  Brock and Paul legit need some counselling because they've broken up and reunited together like my relationship with the Call of Duty franchise. To quote Gordon Ramsey, "DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!"  All lame banter aside, Paul Heyman's promos before Goldberg's appearance was the only good thing throughout the entire show.  As far as how I feel about the idea of Goldberg facing Roman Reigns at the upcoming Elimination Chamber show, major Ls on this one.   Ricochet vs Ridge Holland.  Yay, the "one on one match that later turned into a tag match" cliche. The difference is t...
