Who's Sword Did Drew McIntyre Use In His Entrance On Monday Night RAW? 


Monday Night RAW this past week was surprisingly a watchable show from start to finish (click here to know more). 

While Drew McIntyre vs Randy Orton wasn't THE main reason why, it was a decent encounter. 

However, during Drew's entrance before he captured the WWE championship for the 2nd time, the Scotsmen revealed in an interview with Ryan Satin over at Fox Sports that the sword he used for that entrance belongs to Vince McMahon: 

"I guess I’ll let the cat out of the bag: The sword that I had is actually Vince [McMahon]’s sword. 

It was gifted to him by Stephanie [McMahon] and Hunter [Paul Levesque].

I believe the conversation went, “We need the sword. We don’t have a sword, sir.” …. [imitating Vince McMahon] “I have a sword.”

I heard that story and told him, “Of course you have a sword.”

My dumbass thought it was part of Drew's gear before he signed with WWE the first time.

That is one of the most Vince McMahon stories I've ever heard in my entire 13 years being part of the wrestling fandom which is what makes that instance funny. 

Check out the interview below. 


Kurt Angle Coming Back For Undertaker's Farewell Tomorrow At Survivor Series!? 


Mike Johnson and PWinsider reported that Kurt Angle is showing up to the 34th annual Survivor Series which means he's probably going to be part of The Undertaker's farewell alongside Kane, Savio Vega and The Godfather. 

Kurt's history with The Phenom is well documented. 

I mean, the Olympic gold medalist faced Taker on this very PPV 20 years ago but that match wasn't great. 

But, their bout at No Way Out 6 years later? Now, that was great. 

Will see how this Farewell segment plays out tonight. 

The Deadman Joining Forces With Snoop Dogg For A Merchandise Collection. 

An unlikely alliance is formed between two known entities via some merch that was released on WWE shop a few days ago. 

The Taker and Snoop Dogg collab includes 8 t-shirts, a hoodie, a long-sleeve t-shirt, a beanie and a poster

The deal ends this Wednesday, November 24th. 

You thought that they'll put some effort into their designs, right? Pfft. 

Arturo Ruas Apparently Injured During A Match On NXT. 


Former RAW Underground competitor, Arturo Ruas, suffered an arm injury during his bout with Kushida on the latest edition of NXT. 

From Fightful select, the fear from the yellow brand is that the Lebanese-born Brazilian tore his biceps but the details haven't been confirmed. 

Ruas filmed some additional content for WWE's digital channels but the content didn't air it likely because of the injury. 

Like I always say when somebody is injured, I wish the guy nothing but the speediest of recoveries. 

AEW Reportedly Struggling To Sell Tickets At Daily's Place For Dynamite.  

WWE fanboys looking at the news like, "AEW iS stRuGGlInG fInAnciallY". 

Davey boy Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio said pretty much that AEW ain't doing well when it comes to selling tickets at Daily's Place (from Cagesideseats). 

This isn’t shocking considering that we're in the middle of a pandemic and the fact that the cases in Florida are still rising. 

Which is why I feel like people are, understandably, not going out like that knowing that it's a risk ya know? 


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

Top 7 Best NXT Takeover Theme Songs.

Everbody likes to put on some good music. You like good music. Your friends and family like good music. However, what makes a song good is completely subjective but in my opinion, NXT are nailing it with their takeover theme songs and I'm ranking them on a glorified subjective form of content and that is list videos/articles or in my case a top seven list. Without further ado, Here are my top seven best NXT takeover theme songs.  7. Serpents by Neck Deep   The reason why I like this song so much is that   it gives me some early 2000s punk rock which by listening to this song, it feels like they're paying a homage to that era. overall a good listen that depending on how old you are will give a nostalgic feel like I did.  6. Ace Of Spades by  Motörhead Now, l like me some Motörhead. Triple H's current theme and the evolution theme song is some of my favourite theme music of all time and this is no exception. The only critique I have for this song ...

The 5 News Week Look-Back: Batista's Match With Triple H At Wrestlemania 35 Supposed To Be A Hell In A Cell!?, A Look Back At Eric Bischoff's Role As Executive Director.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 News Week where I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week but I'm not doing that here if you can't tell from the graphic I made (you're welcome, by the way).  But Rather, all throughout December, I'm going to look back at some of the news that came out in 2019. The start of a new decade is going to be upon us in the coming days and that can be exciting especially for the future of the wrestling business as a whole. I hope you guys celebrate the new year's day and of course, drink responsibly.  Fans Frustration Over The Booking Of The Main Roster Women's Division.  I wrote an article earlier this year about why women's wrestling in world wrestling entertainment of the year 2018 was great (which you can click here to read the whole thing).  However, it seems like the year after (2019) was the exact opposite. Now, they did rebound the quality of storytelling in the women's div...

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...
