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.

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...

How Naomi's Royal Rumble 2020 Return SHOOK Black Twitter.

If you haven't been watching WWE for 10+ years, well first off, why are you here and secondly, can I be like you because I'm jealous?  Let me recap who Naomi is. She is a wrestler, actor, dancer, singer and a former women's champion who's been with WWE for 10 years.  In other words, Naomi is a future EGOT winner and you cannot tell me otherwise.  Thanks to her persona that resonated with the audience whether as a heel or a babyface, she has built up a following that is "ride or die" for the former funkadactyl aka stans which I am a part of.  Why? Because if there's one thing I have in common with Stan Twitter is that we love to call white people "ageing at the speed of crack".  She may be throwing glow sticks like an early 2010s Ellie Goulding music video, but she's a capable talent that can hang with the best of the best.  But, you read the title. This ain't about a career retrospect about Naomi (although I don't mind doing so), but ...

WWE Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live.  WHAT'S GOOD    New day's celebration  You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment.  Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas   Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru...
