The 5 News Week: Ronda Rousey Returns To Acting, Local Advertising For The Upcoming Friday Smackdown Show.

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.  

Local Advertise Matches For The Upcoming Friday Smackdown Show. 

October is gonna be a big month. Not only I'm going to graduate on that month (yay me) but as well as all of your favourite shows will return to air but Smackdown is an exception because it's not returning per se but rather it's changing the air date (no F'ing shit, Omar). 

The Staples Centre in Los Angeles, CA has locally advertised a three-way dance match (which is another word for a triple threat match for all of you slow mofos) between the champ Kofi, Dolph Ziggler and Randy Orton. The article that broke Dolph Ziggler story below made mention that this match is now being scrapped and instead it's a good old 6 man tag match so there's the update. 

Dolph Ziggler Reportedly Stuck In Contract And Can't Get Out. 

Speaking of the show-off, Ziggler's last day with the company was actually this past Monday bodyslam.net states in their exclusive report. 

Ziggler had a "handshake deal" with Vince McMahon that would last following SummerSlam so that the chairman and CEO would let Ziggler go in pursuit of other interests or "other projects" (assuming that it's his stand up comedy gig). 

However, on Monday prior to RAW, Dolph thanked the boss but Vince said to him that he quote "couldn't let him out of his deal" and would rather "pay him to stay home". That report mentioned that it's probably because of Vince not allowing his top guys to be with AEW and I kinda disagree given that he loves doing stand up comedy right now. Dolph might jump ship but I don't really see it right now. Will have to wait and see what happens next. 

Ronda Rousey Returns To Acting. 

The baddest woman on the planet is returning to acting but on the small screen this time on a show that airs on FOX (that's a lot of ons). The show's called "9-1-1" and it is at its 3rd season. The trailer of the latest season showed a tsunami hitting a beach and while she's not in the trailer, the character named Lena Bosko is described by Deadline as "a stoic and fearless member of the Los Angeles Fire Department Station 136 who leaps into action to save lives when a disaster hits." 

Jumping into the wrestling side (get? Tsunami? Jumping), Dave Meltzer gave his thoughts on the possibility that Ronda shows up on the October 4th Smackdown show on Wrestling Observer Radio and basically said that it increases the chance of her showing up. 

Not of fan of Ronda as an actress but she was surprisingly decent in that God awful movie that was Mile 22. Also, it's possible that she could show up on Smackdown but I don't know if her vacation is still done or not. 

Rusev Shows His New Look. Kind of.

 

There you go. That's his new look but the rude Bulgarian has a ring to it. Rusev right now went back to the underutilized section before the whole Rusev day stuff blew up which somehow WWE managed to mess that up. 

That dude needs a character evaluation or a repackaging of some sort. Hoping that they utilized him greatly. 

In other words, this is the 4 news week. 

Eric Bischoff On Not Wanting A Three Hour Nitro.

The executive director of Smackdown in Eric Bischoff talked in his podcast called 83 Weeks about how he didn't want a 3-hour nitro show because of the decision made by TNT. Here's the full context as to what he is saying (transcript via 411MANIA):

“No, it wasn’t [done to get the jump on Raw],” “It was really an economy of scale kind of a decision. It costs a certain amount of money to produce a two-hour show. And our ratings were great, things were rockin’ and rollin’. We definitely had the attention of the audience. And it became a financial decision from TNT, not from me. I didn’t want to do a three-hour show, for God’s sake. It’s hard enough doing a two-hour show.”

Listen to the whole thing below. 


Sorry for not posting anything this past week. I was working on two college assignments and I thought it was possible I could do this and work on my assignments at the same time but it wasn't possible at all. Hopefully, I could post a RAW, Smackdown Live or an NXT review. What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event.  Images via WWE.com   Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together?  Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?).  Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos.  That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie".    The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again?  The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW).  However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this?  It's not terri...

WWE Smackdown Live 3/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

A pretty decent Smackdown Live episode considering that Smackdown Live has been RAW 2018: blue edition in recent weeks so I'm surprised that the episode was not terrible.  Bayley And Sasha Are Tired Of Being Humble. Well, Sasha Banks Is But Not Bayley Yet.  Bayley came out smiling as if nothing happened with some mixed reactions from the crowd. Bayley apparently doesn't get it because she's been humble with her best friend and she basically states that she's not the bad guy and never will be the bad guy (will see about that).  After Bayley talks about how Charlotte is selfish, out came the queen and she says that Charlotte is the queen of selfishness with no hugging but Sasha Banks came out before the queen was going to say about what she's going to do at Clash Of Champions.  Charlotte kicks the Smackdown women's champion and Sasha brawled with Charlotte which led to Bayley hitting Flair with a series of chair shots before Banks got her turn. ...

The 5 News Week: Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  Some images via wwe.com Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.  By the time this article hits the interwebs, this piece of news will be outdated as f**k because SO many reports have been released left, right and centre regarding Adam Cole's status in world wrestling entertainment (yea, no sh*t, a**hole).  So, Let's summarize this bad boy. Adam Cole's contract expired after the 2021 edition of NXT's Great American Bash show this past July and agreed to extend his contract till Summerslam (from Wrestling Inc ).  Dave Meltzer of "I should think before I say something", has heard that Cole was offered a contract from "the best brand for white guys with wrestling podcasts", AEW while...
