The 5 News Week: Jason Jordan Injury Update, Ronda Rousey Rumoured To Play She-Hulk?

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. 

Jason Jordan's Injury Update. 

Jason Jordan has worked as a producer moments after getting neck surgery in February of last year and remained hopeful that he steps into the square circle once more. 

From The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (shout out to WrestlingInc for the quotes), his career is most likely over but Jordan was reportedly "doing pretty good" back in January but he had trouble holding his fist. 

He has however been doing pretty well as a producer even viewing his opinion as "high regard" according to WrestleVotes tweet back in March. 

I remember at one point, liking where his character was heading towards. It's a shame that we don't get to see that conclusion considering that he is very talented in the ring. 

How Vince Reportedly Feels About Chad Gable. 

Now, you may read this headline like "that's obvious, he doesn't see any star power in the guy" but you are actually wrong…….. reportedly. From Dave Meltzer and The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (again shout out to WrestlingInc), Vince actually "likes and appreciates" the former Olympian and has a game plan (get it? Game plan you know because he's running the XFL?) to continue his feud with King Corbin. 

(Also, Dave didn't actually say game plan. That was something I added there to summarize what he said in case you were wondering). 

I'm glad he feels this way and I'm so far really appreciating on what type of story they're telling with Chad Gable. 

Ronda Rousey Rumoured To Play She-Hulk!? 

Ronda Rousey has been doing some acting work as of late such as appearing on FOX's 9-1-1 as a firefighter but this piece of news is something that you should take with a grain of salt. 

Just to get on track, She-Hulk is getting a series for the upcoming Disney Plus streaming service. From We Got This Covered (which if you don't know, they're basically Ringside News in terms of exclusive news reporting), their sources told them that Ronda Rousey of all people is eyed to play the lawyer crime-fighting heroine. 

I would've dived in as to why they're not reliable but that would be a 5-page essay and I'm not doing all that because life. Just life. 

Former Wrestlers Appearing On Big Show's Sitcom. 

Sticking to a theme of wrestlers in a series, Big Show is currently filming his sitcom that is set to launch on Netflix and on a recent Instagram post, it seems that Mick Foley, Rikishi and Mark Henry are part of that show. Honestly, I like watching sitcoms so I'll give this a shot. 



RAW And Smackdown Getting A New Entrance Stage?

RAW and Smackdown Live entrance stages doesn’t look like it was made with much life put in when it comes to their design stages since 2008 but WrestleVotes is getting my hopes up in a tweet that says…. 

"This coming week of TV is the final week with the current entrance stage. Both RAW & SmackDown are getting an updated, fresh feeling set." 


Hoping that it’s actually true. 

What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why.  The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar).  During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments.  Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten.  They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day.  ...

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee.  It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that.  If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family.  After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint.  I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day.  So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness.  Now, Ho...

WWE Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall.  Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead.  If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind.  Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship.  Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment.  All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage.  Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...
