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 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...
