The 5 News Week: Money In The Bank 2020 Quick Predictions.

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.

Money In The Bank 2020 Quick Predictions

LRM - WWE's Money In The Bank Matches Taking Place At Corporate ...

Since this year's Money In The Bank PPV airs tomorrow and the news this week has been kinda slow, I thought it would be an appropriate time to write down my quick Money In The Bank predictions. Oh, and the predictions are highlighted in bold letters:

PRE-SHOW: Jeff Hardy vs Cesaro (obviously duh).

Both Money In The Bank ladder matches are happening at the same time. 

AJ Styles vs Otis vs Aleister Black vs King Corbin vs Daniel Bryan vs Rey Mysterio. 

Lacey Evans vs Dana Brooke vs Carmella vs Asuka vs Nia Jax vs Shayna Baszler.

The New Day vs Lucha House Party vs Forgotten Sons vs The Miz And John Morrison For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship. 

Bayley vs Tamina For The SmackDown Women's Championship. 

R Truth vs MVP (huh?). 

Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins For The WWE Championship. 

Braun Strowman vs Bray Wyatt For The Universal Championship. 

Why Has Akira Tozawa Been Consistently Featured On RAW As Of Late?

As far as WWE dot com is telling me, Akira Tozawa is a Monday Night RAW competitor even though it feels like he's part of NXT just like other NXT superstars that made their appearance on RAW frequently like Brendan Vick and Shane Throne which defeats the purpose of a "unique set of rosters across all WWE brands" but I'm just nitpicking. 

Now, why has Akira Tozawa been showcased a lot on RAW with consistent loss efforts? Wrestling Observer Radio and Dave Meltzer (from Wrestlingworld.co) stated that it's simply because Paul Heyman, the executive director of the red brand, is a fan of Tozawa. 

Akira is a great competitor and while he hasn't won a single match on RAW this year, I do appreciate that his talents are broadcasted to the world (I wish that WWE would explain the sudden call up for NXT wrestlers to Monday Nights and vice versa but as I said earlier, I'm just nitpicking). 

Kazuchika Okada Gave A Huge Donation To Coronavirus Relief Fund. 

Kazuchika Okada Wins IWGP Championship At G1 Supercard


Kazuchika Okada did something extraordinary but this time it's not his performance in various matches but rather a big donation to a relief fund. 

To be more specific, Okada donated 5 million Japanese yen or $46,870.90 to a Covid-19 relief fund for the Nippon Foundation which is a non-profit organization focused in healthcare, education and maritime industry based in Tokyo, Japan.  

The donation will quote "support doctors, nurses, volunteer groups and other supportive activities". 

The former 5-time IWGP heavyweight championship talked about his donation in a statement reading (from f4wonline.com): 

"I’m always grateful for NJPW fans’ support, and it’s my hope that I can get back to hearing the cheers of sold out crowds as soon as possible.

It’s usually me receiving the support and power of the people, but now I feel it’s my turn to lend support to medical staff fighting this disease. 

I hope fans continue to stay home and stay healthy, so that we can return to the ring as soon as possible."

NJPW's response since the pandemic began is something to be praised. The company has reportedly been paying their talents and staff with benefits which the news turned to be the case thanks to Tama Tonga's interview with WrestlingInc

Stars like Hiroshi Tanahashi told the Japanese government that professional wrestling should be the last medium of entertainment to come back. 

New Japan ain't making a lot of money and yet, their number one priority right now is the health and well-being of its workers. For that, NJPW gets a major shout out from me. 

DuckTales Aired A Pro Wrestling Themed Episode. 

TV Review: "DuckTales" Season 3, Episode 7 - "The Rumble for ...


I don't know if you've heard of this but there's this little show that aired from 1987 till 1990 called "DuckTales" (sarcasm of course). The show was rebooted in 2017 with critical praise averaging about 100% critical rating. 

The 7 episode of the 3rd season titled "The Rumble for Ragnarok!” was aired yesterday that pretty much combine Norse mythology and pro-wrestling based on the reviews and the trailer that I watched. 

I should really watch the show, huh? 

A Mickie James Segment From 2006 Was Cut!? 


WWE Fansite - Mickie James

Mickie James showed up to WWE television as a psychotic fan of Trish Stratus that resulted in a unique yet enjoyable feud between Mickie James and Trish Stratus. 

In the feud, a segment about Mickie interacting with a skeleton of her granddad in a rocking chair, was supposed to air in the lead up to Wrestlemania 22 according to former WWE writers, Brian Gewirtz and Alex Greenfield via Twitter. 



This is something that would turn out to be horrible? Like anything, yes but Mickie in that role was so good that she would pull off an amazing performance. 



Be in the lookout for the official Money In The Bank 2020 review right here on this site. What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
