The 5 News Week: Money In The Bank 2021 Happening In A Live Audience.

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. 

WWE Refreshing Their Set Designs. 

WWE has officially announced that starting on July 16th, world wrestling entertainment is back on the road as first reported by the Mad Men Wrestling Podcast (see, was it difficult, WWE?). 

Speaking of Andrew Zarian of Mad Men Wrestling Podcast, Zarian has teased that WWE might refresh their set design for their flash programming: 

"Right now, they're working on the sets. I don't know if it's Smackdown or RAW okay. All I know is that they're working on new sets." 

RAW would've benefited a lot with a set redesign or a refresh compared to SmackDown because the SmackDown set was straight-up beautiful. Will see what WWE is cooking up come July. 

Money In The Bank 2021 Happening In A Live Audience. 

Another news piece courtesy of Andrew Zarian and honestly, shout out to him. He's been very reliable when it comes to exclusive breaking stories. 

Zarian has heard from his snitch that the 2021 edition of the annual Money In The Bank show is happening in front of a live (and hopefully passionate) area audience.

I've never looked forward to the future in quite some time (aka months/years from now) because being an adult, random f**king bullsh*t happens to me and I would much rather think about the now. 

However, all weird rantings aside, this is exciting because the vital thing that is missing from most of the professional wrestling shows throughout 2020 is, of course, the crowd. 

Can't wait to hear "CM Punk" chants and "What" chants whenever a performer cuts a promo again. 

Marko Stunt Got An EP Coming Out, Guys! 

If you were wondering about whether Marko Stunt made music or not (and by that, I mean all of you. Let's be honest), then you're in luck I guess because the Jurassic Express member noted in a virtual meet and greet presented by Pro Wrestling Junkies(from Post Wrestling): 

"Fun fact, I go in Wednesday to finish an EP. So, I will have an EP out by the end — I can’t give you a date. I don’t wanna give you a date and then it not come out at the right time. But hopefully by July or the end of July."

AEW Were Renegotiating Their Deal With WarnerMedia By How Much? 

The answer is an "eight-figure payday from WarnerMedia" according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.

It should be considered that AEW's new agreement with WarnerMedia did not include a TV contract extension. Their current deal lasts till December of 2023. 

Brief Thoughts On Smackdown Yesterday. 

    I'm looking respectfully, of course

Smackdown was, as usual, a pretty entertaining program. It was also pretty noteworthy. 

It's nice to see Rick Boogs aka the former Eric Bugenhagen on screen doing his thing (that scream of his never gets old). This man was on NXT TV for like a week or something and then disappeared off the face of the earth. 

The 4 way IC title match was all kinds of awesome. The ending was memorable as Aleister Black made his presence and delivered Big E with a black mass which is how Apollo picked up the victory. 

Aleister Black legit feels like the Aleister Black of old that we all know and love. That dude came off as a God damn star.

       

Shout out to Wrestle Features for pointing that out. WWE rarely acknowledges their continuity but when they do, I have to credit them for it. 

Stuff like that rewards an audience member for actually watching the show. 

Oh and An Aleister and Big E feud? I'm down with that. 

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

WWE Eyeing On New Creative Writers.

Last week on RAW, The McMahon family announced that there will be new faces and fresh match ups. What better way to invoke change than to seek out new writers with different ideas right?  WWE are actively seeking for new writer's assistant positions with at least two years in writing television and or/ production experience and preferably but not necessary, a degree in Film/TV/Drama, Media Studies, Journalism, Communications, English, or related field of study.  For everyone who thinks they can do it better, here's your opportunity. Merry Christmas! https://t.co/FJch1rOXCM — Jimmy Korderas (@jimmykorderas) December 24, 2018 What do I think of this? As long as Vince is in charge, unfortunately, nothing is going to change for the better of the product but that's just me.  Let me know in the comments on how you would change the WWE product and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE RAW 13/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

Ya boy took a week off of talking about wrestling which is something I usually need after watching a single episode of Monday Night RAW but consistency is key, people!  In recent weeks, however, Monday Night RAW doesn't feel like mental torture and the latest episode is no exception.  Images via WWE.com Big E Was Like, "I'm Definitely Cashing In My Contract".  The lovable wholesome gyrating big man name Big E interacted with Randy Orton as well as Bobby Lashley ahead of the WWE title match between Bob and Randal.  The reason is obvious. Big E wants to cash in seeing Becky Lynch's mother again (that's not it?).  All lame jokes aside, the big man did cash in the contract to become the NEW WWE champion later in the episode after a successful title defence from Bobby Lashley against Randy Orton.  Words cannot describe how f**king happy I am seeing one of my favourite performers finally capture the gold which was long overdue if you ask me.  I will go as far as to

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara
