The 5 News Week:Kofi Kingston on Vince's Reaction To His WWE Title Loss, Elias Might Be Coming Back From Injury!?

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.

Elias Might Be Coming Back From Injury!? 

The reason you haven't seen The Drifter on WWE television is simply due to a broken ankle sustained back in September which is why if you remember or not, the semi-finals match on Smackdown between himself and Chad Gable on MSG was cancelled. 

According to our resident expert in all things diseases, Dave Meltzer basically said on the Wrestling Observer Radio that Dave was told that Elias will show up at the end of October but given that it's early November now, Elias could show up "any day now.'' 

CM Punk And Colt Cabana's Trainer Working At The PC. 

Ace Steel. The person that trained CM Punk, Colt Cabana and impersonated Donald Trump in a rare intergender wrestling match on WWE TV against a fake Rosie O' Donnell aka the worst episode of Monday Night RAW. 

From PWInsider and Mike Johnson, Steel has now been "relocated to Orlando, Florida for the position" and that position is a full-time coach at the performance centre. 

He has been hired by WWE last month after doing some guest training earlier this year which WWE was actually impressed by to the point where they brought Steel in to produce in-ring scenes for the Netflix's upcoming comedy "The Main Event" a few months back and that movie will granted have fantastic marketing (an inside joke for you slow mofos). 

Why WWE Execs Didn't Move Shayna Baszler To RAW Or Smackdown? 

Well, according to Dave via a different Wrestling Observer Radio show, WWE had big plans for her and was going to be pushed as one of WWE's biggest stars like in the vein of Charlotte Flair and one of Baszler's opponents at Survivor Series, Becky Lynch but that plan was nixed due to NXT moving to the USA network. So, there you go I guess. 

A New Name For Steve Austin's Podcast On WWE Network!? 

Steve Austin's podcast is coming back to the WWE network but with a different name according to a WrestleVotes tweet back in Oct 23rd. Almost a full 4 weeks to this present day, WrestleVotes tweeted again stating:

"Broken Skull Session with Steve Austin. 

1st guest: The Undertaker. Official announcement is coming this week." 

Austin tweeted about an announcement coming soon hours before that. I wonder what would that announcement be!? 

Kofi Kingston on Vince's Reaction To His WWE Title Loss. 

One-half of the Smackdown tag team champions in Kofi Kingston recently spoke with Alex Mccarthy over at Talk sport and it was about his WWE championship run pretty much. Alex at one point, asked him about Vinne Mac's reaction when Kofi lost the prestigious championship and here's what he had to say:

"We definitely had some words. It was positive because it was very special for both of us. You saw the documentary, when I came through gorilla after winning, he had tears in his eyes and we’re all hugging, myself, Woods and [Big] E. Because, it’s been a wild ride, man. Vince has been on the ride with us and he was actually one of the only people to support the New Day when we were first coming up. Granted, we didn’t want to be three preachers [laughs], but he was the one that actually gave us a chance to go out there and be a unit. So it’s been a journey and a journey for all of us. "
Guys, I highly recommend to check out the rest of the interview. 

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

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...

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
