The 5 News Week: A Brand New NXT Championship Is Coming!?, Quick Thoughts On Smackdown Yesterday.


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. 

 And yes, It is a bit too early than the usual time that I post but I got things to do so why not, right? Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.

A Brand New NXT Championship Is Coming!? 

This past week's episode of NXT saw Keith Lee winning the NXT title, ending Adam Cole's 403-day reign as NXT champion in the process. 

 And now, Lee is a double champ and according to Belt Fan Dan (a reliable piece of news when it comes to wrestling title belts), he pretty much said that the NXT Championship will be bigger but with the same design. 

 It kinda fits especially for a guy like Keith Lee based on my imagination regarding how the title will eventually look like. Very curious as to how it looks because like anything, I may or may not like it. 

A Follow Up Regarding WWE Allowing Fans In Their Shows Again. 

WWE Rumors: WWE editing Roman Reigns' fans reaction again


 I know a lot of you guys would relate to this but I ain't going to be in a place with mass gathering until the pandemic. 

 That piece of news honestly scares me for obvious reasons but first, let me give you the info. 

 Wrestlevotes stated in a tweet that WWE is aiming for the return of the live crowd in late September. 

 Meanwhile, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful basically said last week on Fightful select that WWE hopes to bring back the fans but it is not "happening anytime soon."

 Two weeks back, Mike Johnson over at PWInsider heard that WWE wanted to run live events outside of Full Sail and The PC starting in August but the timing is "premature". 

 I personally DO NOT want them to invite fans back in areas until the pandemic is over. They can't even handle the Covid-19 situation with a limited audience in their own facility so…….

WWE And AEW Are Finally Getting An Emmy Consideration!? 

WWE nominated for 2018 Primetime Emmy Awards, Stephanie McMahon on ...
from Wrestleview

"For a long time, people have always wondered, when will WWE ever get an Emmy nomination?" Says no one ever. 

 All lame jokes aside, this could be big for the pro wrestling business as a whole. 

 From Dave Meltzer And Wrestling Observer Newsletter (via Fightful), WWE's two major brands (RAW and Smackdown) and AEW Dynamite are getting a nomination in the "Outstanding Structured Reality Program” category. 

 The category itself was established in 2014 and it contains "consistent story elements that mostly adhere to a recurring structured template."

 Side note, In last year's ceremony, Netflix's Queen Eye won the Emmy for this exact category. 

Edge On The Wednesday Night Showcase Of AEW Dynamite And NXT. 

WWE news: Edge teases his mood ahead of his return on Monday Night ...


 The Rated R Superstar did an interview with the clickbait giant, ScreenRant to promote his new movie "Money Plane". 

 During the conversation, he talked about the Wednesday Night showcase of two shows in NXT and AEW Dynamite and how it's a good thing:  

 "I think competition in anything is always a good thing. I think it forces people to up their game and not rest on their laurels. 

 I think, if I'm looking at it from the performer's aspect, it's another place to be able to ply your trade, and that's amazing. That's never a bad thing. 

 Just imagine if there was only one studio, if all there was was MGM. I like the fact that there's a bunch of different studios, and I think the same goes for wrestling. I think it ups everyone's game. As a wrestling fan, that's never a bad thing."

 What he said. 

Quick Thoughts On Smackdown Yesterday. 

WWE SmackDown Results – July 10, 2020 | PWMania.com

 I didn't post the usual Smackdown review on Saturday because I just didn't feel like reviewing a show.

 After watching this episode, it gave me the feeling of not reviewing at all because this one was bad. 

 Why? Well, it included a meaningless segment that went nowhere and didn't benefit the division, mediocre matches with one match that has gotten more repeats than a syndicated Friends episode. 
And you know what's the worst part? A UNIVERSAL TITLE MATCH THAT AIRED BACK IN MAY IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS GOD FORSAKEN SHOW. By far, the worst pro wrestling TV episode of the year.  


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

Top 7 Best NXT Takeover Theme Songs.

Everbody likes to put on some good music. You like good music. Your friends and family like good music. However, what makes a song good is completely subjective but in my opinion, NXT are nailing it with their takeover theme songs and I'm ranking them on a glorified subjective form of content and that is list videos/articles or in my case a top seven list. Without further ado, Here are my top seven best NXT takeover theme songs.  7. Serpents by Neck Deep   The reason why I like this song so much is that   it gives me some early 2000s punk rock which by listening to this song, it feels like they're paying a homage to that era. overall a good listen that depending on how old you are will give a nostalgic feel like I did.  6. Ace Of Spades by  Motörhead Now, l like me some Motörhead. Triple H's current theme and the evolution theme song is some of my favourite theme music of all time and this is no exception. The only critique I have for this song ...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least.  And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary.  From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
