The 5 News Week: News On WWE Network Removing Some Content.

 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 Draft Date Changed According To Reports. 

This ain't a brand split without a cohesive draft show, right? 

From Andrew Zarian of "listen to my podcast now!" Mad Men Wrestling Podcast, the set of shows that will host this year's draft (RAW and Smackdown for all of you slow mofos) will possibly be delayed to a month. 

The draft was supposed to be conducted on the 31st of August and the 9th of September. 

The possible delayed date is now either the 1st of October and the 4th of October or the 4th of October and the 8th of October. 

I am not a fan of the draft that is taking place right in the middle of the Survivor Series/October PPV build. 

A draft that is scheduled weeks after Wrestlemania would've made sense since Wrestlemania signalizes the finality of storylines (I'm speaking in theory and not in execution) and having a draft weeks after would freshen both main roster shows. 

News On WWE Network Removing Some Content. 

Mike Johnson of "I hate mobile users" PWInsider has noted regarding some content that is removed by world wrestling entertainment. 

The specific programming pulled out of the Network was on the documentary side of things and one of them was an untold documentary about the one-hit-wonder that was the Nexus stable. 

The reason for the sudden decision to pull content from the service is quote, "strategy and rollout for original content on the streaming service as it adjusts to its new place in the WWE hierarchy under the TV department". 

Well, sh*t. 

Chris Jericho Trademarked The Word "God Of War". 

Chrissie Irvine decided to do something really smart and that is to trademark the word "God Of War". 

The trademark details are as follows: 

"G & S: Hats; Shirts; Socks; Bandanas; Sweatshirts; Hooded sweatshirts”, as well as “G & S: Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer; Entertainment services, namely, live appearances by a a professional wrestler and sports entertainer; Entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by a professional wrestler and sports entertainment personality; Entertainment services, namely, televised appearances by a professional wrestling and sports entertainment personality; Providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; Providing online interviews featuring professional wrestling and sports entertainment personality in the field of professional wrestling and sports entertainment for entertainment purposes.”

For all of the uncultured folks, God Of War is a well-established video game franchise owned by Sony which the first game, was released in 2005 at the tail end of the Playstation 2 generation (aka the year of Mariah Carey). 

Will the old man pull an upset? The answer is a simple no. So, good luck with that, the human embodiment of a Canadian Billy Ray Cyrus that loves leather. 

Money In The Bank 2021 Quick Predictions. 

Since this week's news was slower than the pacing of an AEW PPV show, I've decided to write down my quick predictions for this year's Money In The Bank program. My predictions are highlighted in bold letters.

AJ Styles And Omos vs The Viking Raiders For The RAW Tag Team Championship.  

Rey And Dominik Mysterio vs The Usos For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship. 

Charlotte Flair vs Rhea Ripley For The RAW Women's Championship. 

Bobby Lashley vs Kofi Kingston For The WWE Championship. 

Roman Reigns vs Edge For The Universal Championship. 

Ricochet vs. John Morrison vs. Riddle (unfortunately) vs Drew McIntyre vs Big E vs Kevin Owens vs King Nakamura vs Seth Rollins. Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match. 

Asuka vs. Naomi vs. Alexa Bliss (she has powers, of course, she's going to win) vs. Nikki A.S.H. vs Liv Morgan vs Zelina Vega vs. Natalya vs. Tamina. Women's Money in The Bank Ladder Match. 

NXT To Air On The SyFy Network!?

The yellow brand is going to air on the SyFy Network aka a huge rating drop but anything can happen. 

The July 27th episode, as well as the August 3rd episode of NXT, will air on SyFy due to the Olympic coverage for NBCU. 

It has been said that the black and gold brand is filming episodes at the CWC starting next week (from F4WOnline). 


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
