A Few News I Guess: Downstait On Vince McMahon Disliking Dolph Ziggler's Theme Song "Perfection".

Yea. This was supposed to be a 5 News Week. 

But because of how slow the news was this week, I decided to bring you guys a few news I guess? 

Roman Reigns Reaction To The Rock's Comments On A Possible Match Between Each Other.


The tribal chief, Roman Reigns reacted to what The Rock said regarding a match between himself and Reigns (from give me sport): 

"It's so funny how a lot of people always say; 'well if you ever go back to WrestleMania, who would be the opponent that you would face?'

"It feels like the one that would make sense would be Roman, in terms of box office draw."

The universal champion himself kind of responded to that tweet.

    

The Roman vs Rock match has been rumoured for YEARS. I even talked about one of those rumours almost 2 years ago. 

At the time, I wasn't interested just because I'm not a fan of that iteration of the Roman Reigns character. 

However, this version of Roman Reigns vs The Great One? I'll take it. 

Unfortunately, I don't think it's happening because Dwayne Johnson got a gazillion projects he's working on. 

He's a BUSY dude but never say never as they say, right? 

John Cena Starring In A HBO Max Show "PEACEMAKER". 

Yes. Yes. Yes. 

So, James Gunn's new joint, Suicide Squad is coming out and we already got some news that a spinoff project (a series to be exact) is coming to HBO Max starring John Cena's character, Peacemaker. 

The streaming service that isn't on Roku, ordered 8 episodes. 

This should tell you how confident Warnermedia/DC is with the new Suicide Squad movie. It's about to be lit. 

After the news was out, the creator of the series, James Gunn said this:

 

What a God-damn legend. 

Downstait On Vince McMahon Disliking Dolph Ziggler's Theme Song "Perfection". 


And finally.  The lead singer of Downstait, Zachary Call sat down with Frank Mandolini of the Last Minute Wrestling Podcast. 

Because it was obviously a wrestling podcast, the 40-minute conversation was centred about pro wrestling. 

During the talk, Zachary brings up a story where the chairman of the board himself, Vince McMahon, didn't like the song that Downstait made for Dolph Ziggler: 

"We did the cover of "perfection". We cut "Perfection". They used that for a little bit and I guess Vince {McMahon} actually listened to the words for a little bit. 

He's like, "I don't like perfection" {the host Frank laughs}".

It is a 3-week old interview but I wanted to share a fantastic conversation Last Minute Wrestling Podcast had with Downstait and the band's connection with professional wrestling. 

If you somehow stumbled around this site and want to use the transcript, please credit this site and its original source.

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

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

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...
