The 5 News Week: Retribution No More!?

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.

Retribution No More!? 


If you've watched this week's Monday Night RAW (I don't blame you if you don't watch the show AT ALL), then you'll notice that the leader of Retribution, Mustafa Ali isn't too happy with the group's recent outcomes of their matches.

This led to an increase of talks particularly from Cagesideseats as to whether the stable are no more. 

Here's what the site had to say about it: 

"The early speculation after Raw is that RETRIBUTION may indeed be heading for a split sooner rather than later"

It's an obvious conclusion and to be honest, I'm all for it. It's about time that Mustafa Ali, Mia Yim, Dominic Djakovic are to quote Jason Derulo, "ridin solo". 

However, take this speculation with a grain of salt. 

The Young Bucks' Dad Wanted To Cut Himself For An Angle!?


Obviously, the Jackson brothers and Inner Circle's Chris Jericho and MJF are currently feuding for the AEW world tag team championship that will culminate at Revolution next Sunday. 

During the rivalry, Young Bucks saw their father beat up thanks to Chris Jericho and MJF. 

And, their father wanted to go the extreme route by trying to "legitimately cut himself open for this week’s angle" but fake blood was utilized. At least that's what Bryan Alvarez said on Wrestling Observer Live aka the most positive person in wrestling media. 

Shout out to the pops for the dedication. 

Lana On WWE Not Wanting Her To Wrestle Before Her Wrestling Debut. 


The woman that like Kofi Kingston, mysteriously lost the accent, was interviewed by The Independent. 

During the discussion, Lana talked about her debut match at Wrestlemania 32's pre-show and before that, she wasn't allowed to be inside the squared-circle as a competitor: 

“I have been trying to get this opportunity way before [it happened]. I was training at live events or maybe working at live events but not being able to get that spot on television. 

Now I’ve been given that opportunity and [I’m] trying to make the most of it and trying to run with it. I believe that luck is when opportunity meets those that are prepared. So I was constantly coming in early, training at live events and not seeing television, hoping that one day, I would get that opportunity and that, when I do, I’m as prepared as I can be. 

The cool thing for me is that I can take the WWE Universe with me on my journey… it’s really wild, my very first match in my entire life happened at WrestleMania, it happened in front of you. 

WWE wouldn’t allow me to have a match before WrestleMania, so [it was] in front of 101,000 people. Early on I had to accept that I was going to fail in front of you guys, and that I was going to have to fail in front of you many times. 

That was really hard for me because I don’t like failing, I want to be good. As an in-ring competitor I had to accept that I’m going to learn as I go, that I’m going to fail and that’s going to be part of my journey. 

I hope to encourage people that it’s okay to fail as long as we learn and don’t make that mistake twice. [I] really had to change my mindset to go on this journey and I just hope to encourage others to chase their dreams – and to know that when you fail, you’re not alone.”

Anybody at least most of us, can relate to Lana’s struggles and her chase to the top. The foundation was right there! Looking back at her arc later last year though, It actually could’ve been a LOT better than what was executed. 

Damian Priest Is Reportedly "Going To Be Protected Probably After Wrestlemania". 


Damian Priest must be really happy being showcased alongside the most over figure in WWE according to WWE Shop, Bad Bunny. 

From Dave Meltzer and Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE officials “like” the guy and he’s “gonna be protected for sure until WrestleMania and probably after.”

He did mention that Vinne Mac could change his mind but as of this moment, Priest is in a “good spot” (thanks to Cagesideseats for the quotes). 

John Morrison Dealing With An Injury? 

This is a piece of unfortunate news. The aforementioned Dave Meltzer stated this time on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (from WrestlingInc) that Johnny Mundo is dealing with a knee injury coming out of this past week’s episode of Monday Night Raw. 

Morrison tweeted out how the way he landed didn’t go as “pictured”. 

I’m hoping It’s not serious and I wish him the speediest of recoveries. 

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

WWE Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live.  WHAT'S GOOD    New day's celebration  You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment.  Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas   Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru

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 and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be.  Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.  McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules.  Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater.  In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year.  So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match?  It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
