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 Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all.  The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And….. Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment.  Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane.  That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great.  Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane.  That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reve...

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...
