The 5 News Week: The Current Plan For Eva Marie According To Reports.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. 

What’s Going On With The ShowBuzz Daily Website!?

Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer has expressed concern regarding Showbuzz Daily not posting the daily TV rating due to technical issues stating (from Cagesideseats) "all wrestling companies, TV companies, sports stations, etc. looked to that site for numbers.”

The owner of the Showbuzz Daily entity, Mitch Metcalf, took to the blue hell that is Twitter and said that they can't add content to the site anymore over a shutdown that isn't clear as to what caused the shutdown itself. 

Metcalf went on to highlight that due to operating the site without generating revenue, the cost and time to bring back the site has made him think about the future of ShowBuzz Daily. 

Is this the end of wrestling sites posting about TV ratings for wrestling shows? Hell no. 

Thanks to Wade Keller over at the PWTorch, there is an alternative for wrestling sites to report on the TV ratings every single week. 

However, this is terrible news, especially since as Meltzer points out, entities within the industry rely on the site for statistical or other means. 

I'm hoping ShowBuzz Daily makes its return and the website doesn't end its run on reporting daily TV ratings. 

Rey Fenix Missing Double Or Nothing!?

Speaking of Dave Meltzer and the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, he reports that Rey Fenix will miss Double Or Nothing due to injuries sustained at a recent show in his native country of Mexico. 

The specifics of those injuries are unknown as of writing this. 

Wishing the guy nothing but the fastest of recoveries. 

WWE Studios' Film, TV And Social Media Departments Had Massive Layoffs!? 

WWE Studios aka a big waste of money. 

Now, WWE's movie division is, unfortunately, dealing with massive layoffs. In a piece from Deadline, the massive layoffs will lead to the department having a smaller staff running the division. 

The exact numbers are unspecified but the "cuts were deep". The news was told over the phone from the president and chief revenue officer, Nick Khan (do you know how sad this is?). 

Another example of laying off people only to keep as much revenue as possible. I think you know what economic system that allows such a thing to happen. 

AEW Planning On "A Unique Live Experience" For The Stadium Stampede Match At Double Or Nothing!? 


As far as I know, Double Or Nothing is tomorrow (a bit of sarcasm) and the elite brand is coming up with a blueprint of some sort to build a "unique live experience" for the upcoming Stadium Stampede match between The Pinnacle and The Inner Circle. 

From Fightful Select, they're implementing a "significant live experience" that would obviously be different from the last Stadium Stampede match a year ago. 

I don't know how it would exactly look but the unknown specifics for it is what makes this year's match pretty interesting.

The Current Plan For Eva Marie According To Reports.

And finally. If you've been hoping that Eva Marie wouldn't step into the ring as a result of her recent vignettes, well you're in luck. 

In a report from Fightful Select, the plan for Eva Marie doesn't involve her wrestling but rather help get a female talent over. 

Eva Marie's weakness isn't just her in-ring work. It's also her execution of dialogues. I don't know what female talent would benefit from what I'm assuming is a managerial role from Eva Marie.  

Will see what happens. 

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 ...
