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.

WWE NXT Takeover: XXV | My Coherent Review.

Look guys, I don't need to tell you this. This was a great show. Now, you're probably be asking "if you don't need to tell me this then why are you to quote yourself, TELLING ME THIS!?" Good question but the reason why is because I like to talk about great pro wrestling.  Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong.  An absolute must rewatch match for me and a must watch for you guys if you haven't seen it. Match started off with some amateur wrestling style takedown from both guys.  Then, Roderick Strong hit a modified back suplex on the ring apron. By then, Riddle hits Strong with a brainbuster. Riddle had the highlight of that match by hitting Strong with a go to sleep (yes, that go to sleep) into a German suplex with a bridge.  Roderick hits a powerbomb pin into a Boston crab then the match ends with Riddle delivered with a move that I wish I knew what the name of it was.  Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons (in Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) vs The Undi...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...
