The 5 News Week: The Reason For The Undertaker And Dr Disrespect's G-Fuel Commercial Appearance, Quick Elimination Chamber Predictions.

I'm sorry for the week hiatus. I was busy as hell and that took away the time to write a typical 3 to 5-page article weekly but for now, here I am to give you the 5 major or minor news of the week (which was a pretty slow news week). This is the 5 News Week. 

The Reason For The Undertaker And Dr Disrespect's G-Fuel Commercial Appearance.

 It's no secret at this point that world wrestling entertainment loves to be showcased in the mainstream media in any capacity or in this similar case, having one of their biggest upcoming stars, The Undertaker (sarcasm of course) appear alongside one of Twitch's popular streamers, Dr Disrespect in a G-Fuel commercial. 

 The reason being? From PWINSIDER and Mike Johnson, it was a way for the company to reach the younger audience which if you don't know already, their average audience age is around 50 years old. In the same report, Mike described the entire beef between the streamer and the deadman and I'm gonna simplify it. 

 This all started when Dr Disrespect randomly showed up on a WWE Now episode back in October of last year saying that he's looking for someone however, months went by to the present day and The Undertaker has taken over one of Dr's stream 2 weeks back thanks to his cybernetic abilities. 

 This all led to both men having a confrontation all in the sponsorship of a popular beverage specifically for E-Sports, G-Fuel. Speaking of E-Sports, WWE were setting up their own e-sports league even filed two trademarks for the words Superstar Gaming League and WWE SCL back in November which I talked about, by the way, and haven't heard a whistle about it since. 

 I really liked the video. As a Twitch viewer myself, I don't watch Dr Disrespect but having him interact with The Undertaker could potentially lead to something bigger for WWE in terms of demographics but like anything, I could be wrong. 

Who's Behind The Randy Orton Edge Feud?

 I'm glad you asked, the title above me. It was Vince Russo, *stutters* I mean Paul Heyman if you believe the report from Paul Davis over at wrestlingnews.co. The report states that both Orton and Edge have given their input in this well crafted and executed storyline. Davis also said quote: 

 "The idea was to include a lot of real-life events in this story and that played out this week when Orton talked about meeting Edge backstage when his father, Bob Orton, took him to a show in 1999." 

 Imagine a fan suddenly stopped watching wrestling around the time Edge feuded with Randy a decade ago and now that person started watching again, seeing this feud thinking "damn, they're still fighting?". 

 Wrestlingnews.co is not the most reliable source in the pro wrestling journalism sphere but I do believe in this news piece given how personal the current rivalry between Edge and Orton (how good was that Orton and Beth Phoenix segment last week on RAW?). 

 Will see what Edge will say about the attack he took this week on Monday Night RAW. 

Quick Elimination Chamber Predictions.

 As I quickly mentioned earlier, This week has been kind of a slow news week so I thought this article would be a great way to air my rapid-fire predictions. The bold letters are my winners: 

 Daniel Bryan vs Drew Gulak. (Why's this match even happening?). 

 John Morrison, The Miz vs The Usos vs The New Day vs Lucha House Party vs Heavy Machinery vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship Inside The Elimination Chamber. 

 The Street Profits vs Seth Rollins (*coughed once* The Monday Night Messiah) And Murphy For The RAW Tag Team Championship. 

 Andrade vs Humberto Carrillo For The United States Championship.

 Aleister Black vs AJ Styles In A No DQ Match. 

 Braun Strowman vs Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura And Cesaro For The Intercontinental Championship. 

 Natalya vs Shayna Baszler (so obvious) Asuka vs Sarah Logan vs Liv Morgan (unintentionally rhymed) vs Ruby Riott Inside The Elimination Chamber. Winner Faces The RAW Women's Champion At Wrestlemania. 

Goldberg Guest Starring For An NCIS: Los Angeles Episode This Sunday.

 By the time I post this, the episode has probably aired. The "master" of the Jackhammer (unintentionally rhymed again) is going to be in an episode of NCIS: Los Angeles reprising the character of "DOJ Agnew Lance Hamilton". He first portrayed that character in 2018 with the episode titled "One Of Us". Cool. 

Alexa Bliss On The Origins Of The Twisted Bliss Finisher.

 To all the Bliss stans, you might see this information as more obvious than how water is wet. To the rest of the fans out there, this is probably new information for you. Alexa Bliss spoke with WWE on Fox about this very topic and here's what she said about the origins of her finishing move (from 411Mania): 

 “The move itself is a top rope, half twisting, kinda front flip. And it used to be my gymnastics dismount off of the balance beam, and that’s kinda where it came from. The first time I ever tried it was in a crash pad ring. And I remember Lance Storm was helping out at the Performance Center, and he wanted to be the first one to take it. But then our coach made me hit the finish — at least, I wanna say 30 times on Angelo Dawkins. And made him move everywhere in the ring to make sure I could hit it at any point and not hurt anyone. So poor Dawkins took that thing about 20 to 30 times in one day.”

 I will always thank her for making the DDT a finisher again. 
What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks

WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

  It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason.  Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed.  There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO."  pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020.  The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars.  Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G.  Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff.  You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is.  Maybe I'm igno...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Fyter Fest 2020 Came Back Swinging?

Last week, on this very series, I said that I enjoyed Great American Bash better than Fyter Fest.  Well, this week is the exact opposite. AEW came in swinging with night 2 Fyter Fest.  I've not liked a Dynamite episode in several weeks so it's nice to see that the show finally executed a great show since God knows how long.   NXT      Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Mia Yim vs Candice LeRae In A Street Fight. The match went underway after Yim quickly attacked Candice LeRae during LeRae's entrance.  In the crowd area, Candice tried to nail the suplex on the table but Yim got out of that position and kicked her to which she landed through the table.  The Streetfight concluded with LeRae striking Yim with the brass knuckles followed by a swinging neck from the top of the table onto a bunch of chairs and that's how LeRae defeats the HBIC.  A fun opening match even though...

WWE Smackdown 4/2/22 | A Coherent Review.

 Gotta be honest guys, this episode didn't do it for me.  Besides the announcement of Ronda Rousey challenging Charlotte Flair for the blue women's belt at Wrestlemania as well as another challenge proposed by Goldberg aka NoBerg to the tribal chief, this, like last week's show, was as skippable as an anime filler episode.  Paul Heyman Was Like, "F**k That Brock Guy!"  Brock and Paul legit need some counselling because they've broken up and reunited together like my relationship with the Call of Duty franchise. To quote Gordon Ramsey, "DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!"  All lame banter aside, Paul Heyman's promos before Goldberg's appearance was the only good thing throughout the entire show.  As far as how I feel about the idea of Goldberg facing Roman Reigns at the upcoming Elimination Chamber show, major Ls on this one.   Ricochet vs Ridge Holland.  Yay, the "one on one match that later turned into a tag match" cliche. The difference is t...
