The 5 News Week: Master P Buying House Of Glory!?, NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!?

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. Sorry for not posting in two days. Just some personal stuff I gotta deal with and my Coherent Wednesdays review was a bit rushed and I want to nail it in a no pun intended, coherent matter if that makes any sense? Hopefully, my reviews will get better in the coming weeks. 

Master P Buying House Of Glory!? 

A great example of human beings having an unpredictable nature to them (ask Vince McMahon), Master P was interviewed somewhere in Manhattan and he announced that he has brought an independent wrestling promotion based in New York called House Of Glory or HOG which was founded by Brian XL and Impact Alumni Amazing Red in 2014. 

PWInsider and Mike Johnson gave an update to this story stating that Master P will deliver the "muscle and production team" going forward and Brian XL will remain the head creative of HOG. 

Master P is no stranger to the world that is professional wrestling, the rapper has appeared in WCW back in 1999 even leading a stable called the "No Limits Soldiers". 

The reason why I'm familiar with the promotion is that Jason Solomon of the Solomonster Sounds Off podcast mentions HOG whenever he's announcing a big wrestling hangout event so that's cool. 

Also, I highly recommend reading an article from MTV's website about the person that wrote the article's experience training with House Of Glory. It's a good read and you can click here to read it. 

The Rock Congratulates The Guy's Over At NWA. 

The National Wrestling Alliance recently aired their weekly show called "NWA Power" (which is actually very good) and one of if not the busiest person in Hollywood The Rock gave his thoughts on the show that honours the old school. 



Later Jim Cornette actually responded to him by thanking him for his time to watch NWA Power.  It's always great to report on positive news. 

Where Has Samoa Joe Been!? 

Easy answer, he suffered an injury. A broken thumb to be exact according to Mike Johnson and PWInsider. He's currently waiting for his return inside the ring. 

The last time he's been on TV was the triple threat King Of The Ring semi-finals match between himself, Ricochet and Baron Corbin several weeks back. 

NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!? 

That could be a possibility right? Well, the answer is obviously yes but let's dive into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter' story about this (shout out to WrestlingInc for the quotes). 

WWE officials are searching for 5,000 seat arenas similar to the arenas AEW has been airing from and have reached out to some of them that are fit to air on Wednesday nights. 

Vinnie Mac (Vince McMahon for you slow mofos) has been speculated that he would see how AEW has performed in their arenas and see how Full Sail looks in comparison (if that isn't the most Vince McMahon thing I've ever read).

The yellow brand to air in different arenas has been in discussion well before the ratings for the first USA network show came out but speculations say that the discussion happened before the move to USA was even made public. 

In other words, it was AEW's influence on airing Dynamite on TNT that made WWE's best brand to air on the USA network. NXT has aired episodes in different arenas before but in a much smaller setting. We shall see how the crowd reactions will be different in a good or bad way. 

A Former Viceland International Chief Joins WWE's International Business. 

WWE has hired a qualified candidate to run WWE's global business and that person is James Rosenstock (Who? Who? Who? Who?). 

He has been working as the president for Viceland International overseeing their content in countries like India, Brazil, the Middle East among others. He also oversaw the acquisition for Eurosport in his tenure as executive vice president of Discovery Inc. 

Judging by his body of work, it's a good hire for WWE to oversee their international business. 

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

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
