Georgia Championship Wrestling Is Coming Back?? 


Post Wrestling and my man Andrew Thompson, reported that the promotion that is known for showcasing legends like Macho Man Randy Savage, Dusty Rhodes, Rick Martel back in the territory days, is coming back on October 3rd. 

The piece goes on to state that the October 3rd event isn't too far off from their next event due to the fact that they're planning to revive the GCW entity. 

Thompson spoke with one of the executives of GCW, Chris Nelms. 

Nelms' goal for GCW is to present it as a "territory style group" on top of working with 4 to 5 different promotions in the Georgia area "under the Georgia Championship Wrestling banner". 

The promotion is supposedly going to broadcast their shows on boomerville *stutters once* I mean Facebook or possibly on local television.  


I'm a young fellow so I don't know how to react to this news whether it's the feeling of excitement or anger. 

I'm sure the old souls might get a kick out of this since it looks like they’re targeting that specific audience.

I'm also curious about how they'll differ between their programming and NWA Powerr. 

Is GCW going to bring back the old stage set, the old belts or not? 

Will have to wait and see. 

Triple H On Kyle O'Reilly Being In The Main Event Conversation For Awhile. 


Triple H was in the media call before NXT Takeover: 31. 

During the conference, Triple H was asked by Kelly Wells of PWTorch about Kylie O'Reilly as a challenger for the NXT championship and how it was actually in the works for a while (Transcript from Fightful): 

"That’s been something we’ve been talking about doing for a while and in the works. If you were to ask me, did it speed up the process, probably."

"He’s such a great performer and it’s not to take away from him in a tag team, but he’s such a great performer and is naturally charismatic. 

He’s funny, he’s all those things that you’ve seen doing what’s he’s doing, but I think people will see that at a completely different level and I’m excited for him. He’s excited for that opportunity."

Kylie O'Reilly is somebody that has singles' star potential written all over him since day one and that face to face confrontation this week on NXT proved that to be the case. 

Quick NXT Takeover: 31 Predictions. 


Sticking to the NXT theme one last time, I decided to write down some NXT Takeover: 31 quick predictions because why not, right? 

My picks are highlighted in bold letters: 

Finn Balor vs Kylie O'Reilly For The NXT Championship. 

Damian Priest vs Johnny Gargano For The North American Championship. 

Io Shirai vs Candice LeRae For The NXT Women's Championship. 

*Major sigh* Velveteen Dream vs Kushida. 

Santos Escobar vs Isiah Swerve Scott For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship. 

Sami Zayn Stated That The Triple Threat Intercontinental Championship Match Was One Of His Favourites. 

Last Sunday, Clash Of Champions happened and it was decent. 

Something that was more than decent was the triple threat ladder match for the Intercontinental championship that opened the show. 

And the current Intercontinental champion, Sami Zayn, felt the same way. Here's what he said about it on the tweets:

 

I appreciate Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles and Sami Zayn for an outstanding ladder match. 

Definitely a match of the year contender if I'm being honest.  

Smackdown Isn't Going To Be Televised On October 23rd?

In the FOX TV schedule for October, Smackdown isn't on the list for October 23rd and instead, the MLB World Series Game 3 will air on that date. 

It's definitely going to air on FS1 just like last year due to, you guessed it, the MLB World Series. 


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.

The 5 New Week's 2nd Anniversary And What I've Learned From Writing About News.

WHAT? A second 5 News Week article of the week? Preposterous.  The reason why I'm writing this is that 2 years ago to this day, October 28th 2018 was the inaugural 5 News Week piece.  I thought to celebrate this day, I want to share to all of the young, aspiring news writers what I've learned from the 2 years I've been writing pro wrestling news  (which has mostly been WWE news because let's be real, I am the resident WWE shill).  Here we go.  Stock images via pexels.com #1: Research And Fact-Checking.  When approaching a piece of news that comes to your news feed, it is important to research the news piece itself so that you're giving the viewer/reader a context as to what's happening.  Which is why your favourite talk show programs like Last Week Tonight, values their research team to analyze the world around them and what can be done through history.  Another reason as to why research is valuable for information is, of course, fact-checking....

WWE RAW 5/8/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW didn't prepare the biggest party of the summer very well and detailed but if I was a party planner, I'll give this a pass.  After the entire WWE paid tribute to the horrific mass shooting in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio with a ten bell salute, an opening intro has been played for the first time in a year and then, Samoa Joe cut a promo on the announce table shouting loud and clear that he had nothing to do with the end segment last week on SmackDown Live.  That was a different way to open the show and I absolutely love it. Short, quick and to the point.  Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair vs Natalya and Trish Stratus.  During the match, Natalya locked Lynch in the sharpshooter and not letting go of that hold after Becky caught the middle to break the hold which caused the match to end in a DQ. Trish tried to separate Nattie to which Nattie herself purposely pushed Trish.  Rey Mysterio vs Andrade.  Completely un...
