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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
