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.

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss...

The 5 News Week: An NXT Segment Getting Some Backstage Praise!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  some pictures via WWE.com Stephanie McMahon One Of The Best Heels In The Attitude Era? Jim Ross Thinks So.  Jimmy Ross recently talked about the role Stephanie McMahon and whether she was "one of the best heels we had in the attitude era" (from sescoops ):  “I always believe she was one of the best heels that we had in the Attitude Era. Because she took so much after her dad.” Stephanie played as the spoiled rich daughter of an a*h*ole boss and that is a dish of easy heel heat.  Stephanie McMahon's spoiled brat type of heel moulded well with a vicious, opportunist of a bad guy that Triple H portrayed as during the era of the McMahon/Hemsley faction.  Without her constant presence on TV, A piece of Triple H's persona especially in the year 2000, would b...

Priscilla Kelly Used A Tampon In A Wrestling Match: Right Or Wrong?

    If you have been away from social media for the past day or so, a wrestler by the name of Priscilla Kelly (who by the way, recently competed in the second Mae Young Classic tournament) competed in a match in which she pulled out her tampon and put it on her rival's mouth. That struck the wrestling world on Twitter with differences of opinions. She did respond to this on Twitter and here's what she had to say: Hey guys. Ya know, it's all fake. 21+ show with a bar. Can't take life so serious all the time. Call me what you will... 🌹 — The Priscilla Kelly (@priscillakelly_) January 5, 2019 What do I think of this? I don't understand why this became as viral as it is considering that we've seen hardcore, brutal, disgusting stuff in a wrestling match before. However, it did get an "ugh" reaction out of me.  Was it right or wrong that she did this? My answer is none considering that wrestling is subjective and there's no such thing ...
