9 Of The New NXT Superstars Are Getting Names Changes.

Image result for wwe performance center
Names changes are a norm in WWE for multiple factors that I cannot get into because that would take at least 200 words or more and I ain't gonna do all of that. The performance centre (yes, it's pronounced centre, not center) is a great example of that. Now, I'm gonna list down all of the name changes for all of the NXT stars and I'm gonna briefly tell you whether I like it or not. Okay? Here we go. 

Brennan Williams now called Dio Maddon (alright). 

Stokely Hathaway aka Malcolm Bivens now called Courtney Moore (wait. Isn't that his second name change? Either way, it's alright). 

MJ Jenkins now called Monique Jenkins (I like it. Oh, and that name change is her real name). 

Dan Matha aka Dovian Mak (nice, nice). 

Rachel Evers now called Rachel Ellering (I mean she's using her real name just like Monique. It's alright). 

Nick Comoroto now called Nick Ogarelli (alright). 

Scott Parker and Shane Matthews are collectively known as the 3.0 team and they're now called Jeffery Parker and Matthew Menard Lee (their Indy names were better. It's lame). 

Robbie E aka Robert Strauss now called Robert Stone (generic but it's alright). 

Keep in mind, those name changes don't affect their promo style, their in-ring ability or their entrance music. It's just me nitpicking at the end of the day.

WWE NXT Takeover: Toronto | My Coherent Review.

Another month or so, another great NXT Takeover event courtesy of the NXT creative team filled with top-notch in-ring action and storytelling. I know it feels tiresome when you heard people praise highly talk about the Takeover shows but trust me they are that good.  The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championship. During the match, Montez Ford delivered the people's elbow after hitting a spinebuster on Bobby Fish. The match ended with a frog splash from Montez Ford and The Street Profits continues to celebrate as tag team champions.  I'm very conflicted with this decision mainly because I don't want to see more okay matches between The Forgotten Sons and Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan but I'm going to be optimistic hoping that it's not the case.  Io Shirai vs Candice Lerae.  Io's theme song is simple yet badass at the same time (no shit, Omar). The match started off with Candice rushing to the ring and brawled on the outs...

The 5 News Week: WWE Backstage. Cancelled Or Nah?, Liv Morgan's Re-Debut Was Supposed To Be Different!?

I'm back on my BS because it's The 5 News Week where I report on the 5 major or minor news of the week hence the name "T he 5 News Week".  Sorry for the week of absence. I took a week off of social media (except YouTube) due to the sadness I felt when reading those brave women and men tell their stories about the awful, terrible experiences they've had after their interactions with notable people in the industry.  It made me question my fandom and whether I should be in the industry (wrestling media-wise) knowing that they are asshats that will take an advantage on people for no reason other than more power and control.  This week proves that the business needs to wash all the old tropes that make it harder for people to express what's really going on especially when it pertains  to serious issues like sexual assault, racism, sexism etc.  I'm hoping that those stories will lead to a sudden change in every aspect of this profession and other ...

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...
