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

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.

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."


A New Program Is Coming To The WWE Network.

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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
