The 5 News Week: Mostly Wrestling Interview Quotes Edition.

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.

Jake Hager On Being "Lost In The Mix" In His WWE Run.

One of the members of the newly formed stable "the inner circle" Jake Hager, recently was the interviewee for Sports Illustrated and Justin Barrasso. At one point during the interview, The man formerly known as Jack Swagger was asked about his you guessed it, his WWE run:

“I was lost in the mix there [in WWE],” said Hager. “When I look now at guys like Cesaro, guys like Bobby Lashley, they’re just lost. When I look at them, that whole cloud of doom comes right back over me. I’m so glad I’m not in that. It’s something you deal with within big companies, but it’s also about how they treat their talent. They know exactly what they’re doing, and I hate to say it, but it’s on purpose.

“They want you lost in there so they can control you. They don’t control me anymore. Now, I’m finally being portrayed in the way I always should have.”

Good on him for building his star power outside of titan towers whether its on the octagon in Bellator or inside the square circle (get it? Inner circle? Circle?).

I was not a fan of his earlier run from 2009 till like 2013 when he paired up with Zeb Colter and they had very good chemistry and you can't forget the pairing that is Cesaro and Jack Swagger. They were just perfect as a team.

Rusev Will Show Up On RAW This Coming Week.

So basically, Rusev saw his wife eating with Bobby Lashley or Bob as The Bulgarian Brute would like to put it, in a restaurant.

Rusev stormed in and layed in some lefts and rights to the almighty (don't know if he's still referred that but whatever) which led to the Cleveland police taking Rusev into custody.

Rusev was released by the police department according to WWE even though Lana and Lashley didn't press charges.

The storyline that pisses off most of the fanbase continues.

The Rock & Roll Express To Present The AEW World Tag Team Titles on This Wednesday's Dynamite.

The tag team legends in the biz that recently won the world tag team championship of their own in the National Wrestling Alliance are indeed going to present the AEW world tag team titles to the winner of the Lucha Bros vs SCU in Scorpio Sky and Frank Kazarian this coming episode of Dynamite. I'm going with the Lucha Brothers on this one. Man, that tag team division is so good.

Booker T On The Origins Of The Spinaroonie.

Another day, another history lesson ingrained in our brain and this time it was about how Booker T's spinaroonie came to be in "The Story Of" YouTube series (shout out to Wrestlezone for the transcript):

"The Spinaroonie came from my days as a dancer,” he said when describing the origins of the move. “I was a breakdancer, pop locking days, and back in the days when they had the beat box, and the cardboard box. I never played sports or anything like that, and the Spinaroonie was just something that was just a part of the dance. I remember the first time that I did it in a wrestling ring, I was wrestling in Dallas, Texas. It was my debut there, my brother and I were wrestling a couple of guys, and they didn’t like us too much in Dallas.”

Gangrel On Quitting The Adult Industry.

You read that right. The blood spitting vampire known as Gangrel mentioned his brief stint with the adult industry as a director among other things in his interview with WrestlingINC:

"I put a pinky toe in and jumped out real quick because it got me so much heat and negativity that I backed out. I directed one scene but it was a stupid decision. Sometimes with porn, everybody secretly kind of likes it but they publicly shame it. It backfired so I’m gonna stick with what I know in pro wrestling. I might be only somewhere in the middle with wrestling, but at least I know it and love it and can commit to it 100 percent.”

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

WWE RAW 7/1/19 | My Coherent Review

My first RAW review of 2019 and surprisingly, this show was decent. Now, would RAW put on decent shows in the coming weeks or months? Probably not but I hope that's the case. Now, usually on my RAW and Smackdown Live reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad ( click here if you curious as to how the format looks like). However, since this is the new year, I'm gonna get rid of that and instead just put my in-depth thoughts just like my PPV reviews. Without further ado, on with the review.  Opening Segment The show itself started off with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley that lasted for a very short period of time. After that’s done, the opening segment started with John Cena and cuts a promo on how he’s gonna earn his golden ticket to Wrestlemania by entering in this year’s Royal Rumble match.  Out came Drew McIntyre and he said that Cena’s accomplishments is what Drew cares about. He then went on how he’s b...

The 5 News Week: The Current Plan For Eva Marie According To Reports.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  What’s Going On With The ShowBuzz Daily Website!? Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer has expressed concern regarding Showbuzz Daily not posting the daily TV rating due to technical issues stating (from Cagesideseats ) "all wrestling companies, TV companies, sports stations, etc. looked to that site for numbers.” The owner of the Showbuzz Daily entity, Mitch Metcalf, took to the blue hell that is Twitter and said that they can't add content to the site anymore over a shutdown that isn't clear as to what caused the shutdown itself.  Metcalf went on to highlight that due to operating the site without generating revenue, the cost and time to bring back the site has made him think about the future of ShowBuzz Daily.  Is...

WWE Super Showdown 2020 | My Coherent Review.

Super showdown 2020 was dull, boring and even frustrating at times. The two previous Saudi shows from last year were surprisingly okay but this was just a flavourless taste in my mouth and this is coming from the resident WWE shill. By far, the worst PPV of 2020 so far.  PRESHOW: The Viking Raiders vs The O.C. In Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson.  A skippable match that we've seen for the gazillionth time. Yay for unwanted repetition! The O.C wins. Cool.  MAIN-SHOW: AJ Styles vs. Andrade vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Erick Rowan vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio. Gauntlet Match for the Tuwaiq Trophy.  R Truth and Bobby Lashley started off this match and Truth wins via a roll-up. Lashley then attacks R Truth (like we've not seen that spot before) to which out came the second opponent of the night, the returning Andrade and the way that encounter ended was odd yet somehow not horrible.  Both men hit each other with their heads and Truth pins the guy to keep fight...
