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.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

The 5 News Week: Master P Buying House Of Glory!?, NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!?

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 . Sorry for not posting in two days. Just some personal stuff I gotta deal with and my Coherent Wednesdays review was a bit rushed and I want to nail it in a no pun intended, coherent matter if that makes any sense? Hopefully, my reviews will get better in the coming weeks.  Master P Buying House Of Glory!?  A great example of human beings having an unpredictable nature to them (ask Vince McMahon), Master P was interviewed somewhere in Manhattan and he announced that he has brought an independent wrestling promotion based in New York called House Of Glory or HOG which was founded by Brian XL and Impact Alumni Amazing Red in 2014.  PWInsider and Mike Johnson gave an update to this story stating that Master P will deliver the "muscle and production team" goi...

WWE NXT 17/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't feel anything about this show overall besides one very good match and an impactful debut. Here's why.  Matt Riddle vs Arturo Ruas.  Those two guys have a background in MMA so it was really interesting as to how the match turned out. Started out with some technical wrestling which if you've been a follower of this blog then you'll know how much I LOVE technical submission wrestling.   The match ended with Matt Riddle delivering a series of rights and the ref stopped it which means that Matt won the match. After that, a masked man revealed as Killan Dan was beating the crap out of him and it was so bad that Mauro Ranallo screamed "Mamma Mia" on top of his lungs which is pretty rare. I actually really liked this. It's a different way to debut somebody and insert that person quickly in a feud instead of having that superstar wrestle in so many squash matches which I don't mind if they went in that route.  The Street Profits ...
