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 Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

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...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
