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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Three Big Returns, A Great Inaugural Women's Championship Match.

If you have been a fan of this site since January, then you'll know that I've completely rebooted my review process and now, I'm doing that again.  Don't worry, the format for my RAW, Smackdown and PPV reviews will still be the same but not on Wednesdays. So, here it is, My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays.  NXT The Highlights. Adam Cole vs Matt Riddle For The NXT Championship.  A match that opened this episode of the yellow brand, the original bro and the leader of The Undisputed Era tore the house down.  Whether it's Cole reversing the fireman's carry from Riddle into a backstabber, Cole hitting a Panama sunrise twice, a floating bro or the crowd chanting "Adam Cole, bro", it was a visual statement by NXT that the yellow brand is THE brand to watch.  Unfortunately,  Riddle felt short and ate the last shot but there was another highlight I wanna talk about….. Finn Balor Returns To N. X. T.  It's not a typo my friends, Finn ...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...
