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.

Gail Kim As Women's Champion In 2003 Or Paige As Divas Champion In 2014? Who Had The Better Debut Reign?

Women’s wrestling in world wrestling entertainment. Believe it or not, it has been around for quite some time but it hasn’t been taken to the stratosphere by the powers that be until a few years ago. However, in one fateful time between 2002 and 2005, there was a small women’s division that although wasn’t as big as it is today, it was surprisingly competitive for the most part.  Meet Gail Kim. Before Gail joined WWE in October 2002, She started training at Ron Hutchison's wrestling school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada which had some notable alumni like Edge, Christian, Beth Phoenix, Tiger Ali Singh, Traci Brooks, Trish Stratus among others.  Gail Kim made her professional wrestling debut in late 2000 and she donned the persona of a masked luchadoras by the name of "La Felina" and wrestled all over the Southern Ontario area.  Kim started off her WWE career training in OVW and was called up to the main roster in 2003 (more specifically Monday Night RAW)...

WWE RAW 7/1/19 | My Coherent Review

My first RAW review of 2019 and surprisingly, this show was decent. Now, would RAW put on decent shows in the coming weeks or months? Probably not but I hope that's the case. Now, usually on my RAW and Smackdown Live reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad ( click here if you curious as to how the format looks like). However, since this is the new year, I'm gonna get rid of that and instead just put my in-depth thoughts just like my PPV reviews. Without further ado, on with the review.  Opening Segment The show itself started off with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley that lasted for a very short period of time. After that’s done, the opening segment started with John Cena and cuts a promo on how he’s gonna earn his golden ticket to Wrestlemania by entering in this year’s Royal Rumble match.  Out came Drew McIntyre and he said that Cena’s accomplishments is what Drew cares about. He then went on how he’s b...

WWE Smackdown Live 24/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was once again, a good show that did its job to build some hype for WWE super showdown. Now usually on my reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad. However, I'm only gonna tell you what's good and what's ok for this review because I didn't find anything bad about this episode. Now let's talk wrestling, shall we?  WHAT'S GOOD The opening segment   Man, this opening segment was entertaining and I believe this is the first time since 2011 that R Truth has been featured a lot on WWE television. Look, I know some people who find the five-second dance break cringeworthy but I thought that was funny. That segment led to a match between The Miz and R Truth and if want to know my thoughts on the match itself then look below.  Rusev calls out Aiden English   Basically, this segment goes like this. Rusev calls out Aiden to explain himself for his actions last week. Aiden then comes out to the ring and...
