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 Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition.  Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out.  The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative.  The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good?  Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand.  There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode.  Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight.  We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK!   I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all.  The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And….. Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment.  Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane.  That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great.  Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane.  That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reve...
