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.

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition.  Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out.  The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative.  The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good?  Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand.  There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode.  Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight.  We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK!   I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all.  The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And….. Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment.  Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane.  That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great.  Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane.  That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reve...
