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.

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...

WWE Wrestlemania 36 Night One | A Coherent Review.

When they announced that Wrestlemania was going to take place in two nights, I was hesitant mainly because I prefer a single show with meaningful matches and not the exact opposite spanned between two shows.  So far, the wrestling Gods proved me wrong. Wrestlemania 36 Night número uno was a great show. WWE gave me an escape that is desperately needed especially in this unique circumstance and I'm sure some of you guys feel this way too. As a tradition on this site, I haven’t seen the pre-show match so I can’t talk about it. Now, on with the review.  Before the show, Stephanie McMahon stated the usual thing. You know "in these times, we will entertain you". They then had the compilation of all the singers that sang America the beautiful which is actually pretty cool.  That led to this year's pirate-themed Wrestlemania opening and it was unique obviously but what makes it different is the humour in it which was fine.  The Kabuki Warriors vs Alexa Bliss And Ni...

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...
