The 5 News Week: Reports On WWE's Inactive Internal List, Harvard Business School Will Propose A Case Study That Includes WWE This Fall.

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.  

Harvard Business School Will Propose A Case Study That Includes WWE This Fall. 

I know this is a month old news but I feel like it's an interesting piece of news that no pro wrestling website I saw covered this and the Google News app notified me about it so blame Google. 

So, Harvard Business School is offering Anita Elberse's course about "The Business of Entertainment, Media and Sports” that will enrol 180 MBA students for their second year (which stands for master of business administration for all of you slow mofos) and WWE is featured as a case study. That course will also observe other major recognizable brands like The Walt Disney Studios, NBCUniversal, Nike and more. 

Anita's courses are quoted by Variety as "a series of fresh, entertainment-focused cases for future execs and management students.” WWE has stated the goal for this course quote: 

"The course will explore factors that drive sustained success for organizations and individuals in sports and entertainment; understand how companies can diversify beyond their core business to create engagement and value for fans and other stakeholders; and how business can best pursue contracts with star talent."

Reports On WWE's Inactive Internal List. 

WWE may pad themselves on the back for them being featured as a Havard course case study but this is something they should pay attention to more if the report is true (which It most likely is). From Fightful and Sean Ross Sapp, this Inactive internal list is more than just an injury report.

It contains not only injured Superstars but as well as stars that haven't been on TV for specific reasons such as Alexa Bliss having "an illness", Finn Balor being in his home country in Ireland, Naomi and The Usos (aka Jimmy Uso I assume) were on "vacation" and all of that was listed almost two weeks ago as of writing this. 

Also, things that were listed on that report are the scheduled time for wrestler's returns, the scheduled evaluation on wrestler's injuries and quote "no contract" list. That no contract included guys like Scott Hall aka Razor Ramon which is bizarre and that internal list hasn't mentioned Ronda Rousey whatsoever. What do I think of this? Surprised given that I thought that the handling of wrestler's injuries etc wasn't convoluted as to how Fightful's article described. 

Tamina Is Sidelined With An Injury. 

Somebody that I assumed was on that "report" is Tamina and she suffered from a concussion. According to PWInsider and Mike Johnson, Tamina was part of a tag team match against Naomi and Dana Brooke and her tag team partner was Sarah Logan. 

Johnson believed that Tamina suffered from a concussion after a knee that was delivered by Naomi. Snuka was quote "down in the ring for an extended period of time before being helped to the back." Wishing her a speedy, speedy recovery. 

Fox Sports Removes The Video Of Bayley Explaining Superstars Driving From City To City. 

There was a viral clip being played where the interviewer in Kristine Leahy was shocked after Bayley described wrestlers’ have to drive from city to city and rent a hotel. 

Well, the FS1 show Leahy hosts' official Twitter handle actually posted that moment on Twitter and have since deleted it likely due to the fans laughing at it like laughing at certain scenes from the greatest awful movie in "The Room". 

Former Host For Jerry Lawler's Podcast Scamming Fans For Thousands Of Dollars. 

Somebody has been a very naughty, naughty boy (that was beyond cringeworthy). From Wrestlingnews.co (it's not an exclusive report of theirs but some of the information does from them), a former host of Jerry Lawler's "Dinner With The King" podcast named Glenn Moore is getting a lot of heat for scamming fans. 

One fan, in particular, Jason Laurie, paid $250 for the artwork and paid $1,500 for the oil paintings of Jason's cat because he loved the artwork he received so much but he didn't get that painting for some reason. 

Jason spoke with WMC5 action news and in it, he mentioned that Lawler and Glenn Moore were laughing at Jason's painting on a episode of "Dinner With The King" last November which doesn't paint a good picture that Jerry wants to put out (see what I did there?) but he did reach out to Jason and other fans that were scammed by Moore. Lawler even spoke with Jason for more than an hour, so that's a plus. 

A pediatric cancer charity was also a victim of  Moore's scams. Glenn Moore is a douchebag, that is all. 

Sorry for posting this a week late. Just had to deal with the usual outside world and stay tuned for my Extreme Rules 2019 review once the show is over in a couple of hours or in several hours depending on the day. What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

My Coherent Predictions On: Money In The Bank 2018

Money in the bank has THE WORST buildup of 2018 so far (at least on the RAW side). Is it going to be worst than RAW this past few weeks or possibly backlash?  Will find out this Sunday but anyways on with the predictions Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley What can I say about this feud? ● No meaning behind it. ● No meaning behind it. ● And why's Bobby Lashley promo last night sounds like bubbles from powerpuff  or something? Nevertheless, It's a shame that both lashley and zayn are given a shitstorm of a storyline considering that their better than this. WINNER : Bobby Lashley. Bludgeon Brothers vs Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson WOW! Another match I don't give two fucks about. However if they want to make the show intriguing and unpredictable then I'll put the belts on....   WINNER: Gallows and Anderson. Big Cass vs Daniel Bryan. WWE made the right call in my opinion on moving big Cass to smackdown because he...

WWE Survivor Series 2019 | My Coherent Review.

The Survivor Series shows as of a few years has gotten better in terms of overall positives and I thought that this year will be no exception. It pains me to say this but the 2019 edition of Survivor Series was just okay. A few highlights but overall, not an offensive 3 ½ hours of wrestling to watch, to say the least. Oh, and I haven't seen the pre-show matches so I can't talk about it.  Team RAW In Kabuki Warriors, Charlotte Flair, Natalya And Sarah Logan vs Team Smackdown In Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke, Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans And Sasha Banks vs Team NXT In Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, Io Shirai And Toni Storm. Women's Survivor Series Match.  Io Shirai and Kairi Sane delivered some quick moves earlier in the match. Brooke delivered an impressive rolling Senton to Shirai. Given that LeRae and Io were hurt, they were both eliminated. Bianca Belair got rid of two women.  One, it was Nikki Cross with a roll-up and the other was Sarah Logan with a 450...

WWE NXT 24/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a meh episode of NXT. If this is the first time that somebody watches NXT with this episode then you'll have a hard time convincing that particular person to watch another episode you know what I mean?  The Forgotten Sons’ Jaxson Ryker vs Humberto Carrillo.  I don't watch 205 live but I'm loving every time Humberto wrestles. The match ended in a double count out because Ryker was beating the crap out of Carrillo until Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan showed up to save the young luchador. Not a fan of the Forgotten Sons but this feud for some reason made me wanna watch those two teams fight and I don't know why exactly.  After that, Adam Cole was asked backstage in a photo shoot about the Roderick Strong vs Johnny Gargano match until Matt Riddle showed up and said that it's his turn which led to Adam Cole leaving the shoot.  Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro.  This was okay. The team of Candice LeRae and Kacy Cat...
