The 5 News Week: Where Has Austin Theory Been?, RVD On How He Reacted About His Injuries Back In The Day.

The Recent Episode Of Monday Night Had Rewrites For What Reason?

It is not a shocker to most fans that Monday Night RAW, as well as Smackdown, gets a LOT of rewrites in their programming. This news is indeed not surprising.

From PWinsider and Mikey Johnson, the rewrites that happened late in the process were for adding backstage segments with "the usual chaos that we have seen from the tapings as of late".

Where Has Austin Theory Been?

That's a great question, headline but you know who does? Dave Meltzer, apparently.

(From Cagesideseats) according to him, Austin Theory has been "in an unannounced suspension"

Tom Colohue added another layer to this story, saying in Sportskeeda's Dropkick DiSKussions podcast quote:

"This is a situation that is very much personal to Austin Theory. There is a lot of moving parts to it. So I have to be careful with what I say. He has been gone a while with no mention because to put it simply; the WWE still aren't sure whether he will have a job by the end of it."

Colohue did note at the end that Austin is suspected.

I do not know what Austin did that warrants a suspension but we will find out at some point.

Ariane Andrews was recently at AEW's women's tag team cup tournament in a losing effort against the team of Anna Jay and Tay Conti (and no, I didn't watch the tournament. I just pulled the results via the interwebs in case you were curious).

Andrews revealed on her show on YouTube along with Matt Dillon (the guest was WWE's own, Naomi) that she is not all elite (from Post-Wrestling):

“So since we are spilling tea, I’m gonna keep it 1,000 percent so everyone can hear it right here, right now. I am not with AEW. That was just a little something, something. A little something, something."

RVD On How He Reacted About His Injuries Back In The Day.

via WWE

Rob Van Dam recently had an in-depth interview with my man, Frank Mandolini of the Last Minute Wrestling Podcast on different topics such as Rob's documentary "Headstrong", wrestlers court, the Speaking Out movement etc.

During the discussion, he expressed working in the ring while suffering a series of injures like concussions back in the day:

"It was my personal policy through-out my career to never admit you know, if I was… I wouldn't even use the word "hurt". To me, being hurt meant that I can't work otherwise I wasn't hurt.

So, anytime I got a concussion or even broken like some small bones that I can still workaround, I would never tell the promoter or anybody about it because I wouldn't be able to work the next day you know.

And I felt like I could keep going, just tape myself up so I can't never blame you know, anybody but myself for getting the injuries but then also for working you know, with the injuries."

The man behind the 5-star frog splash went on to talk about how those injuries affect him today thanks to his RVDCB venture:

"Now, because I also wanna help you know like I said, with the awareness, with the education.

If I get a concussion now, I don't mind talking about it afterwards you know after the match.

Well, I'm not knocking myself out there which I try not to. I'm trying to lean into a healthier life and that's important to me too you know, which includes a lot.

CBD is part of it. I got stem cells. I take a lotta brain supplements and I'm always trying to research whenever I can because I wanna help the cause you know for me and for all my peers."

Thanks to Frank for the interview. It’s really good and you can check it out below.

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.
