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.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...

WWE Super Show Down | My Coherent Review.

Hello my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to my coherent review for WWE Super Showdown and overall, WWE Super Showdown was an entertaining four hours of pro wrestling and here's why.  The New Day (c) vs The Bar for the SmackDown Live tag team championship  I do like the fact that this match opened the show but was it any good? Not really and the way it ended was weird? The match ends with Woods hitting the backstabber followed by a chest double stomp by Kofi to Cesaro and just like that, the new day wins. Decent match but not as great as the other matches they had on SmackDown Live.  Becky Lynch (c) vs Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Live women's championship  Big "Let's go Becky Lynch" chants. If that doesn't tell you anything, I don't know what will. Anyways, the match was pretty good. Becky Lynch retains via a DQ by Becky Lynch. I'm going to assume that the rubber match will be a no DQ stipulation match of some sort at ev...
