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 RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event.  Images via WWE.com   Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together?  Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?).  Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos.  That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie".    The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again?  The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW).  However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this?  It's not terri...

WWE Smackdown Live 3/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

A pretty decent Smackdown Live episode considering that Smackdown Live has been RAW 2018: blue edition in recent weeks so I'm surprised that the episode was not terrible.  Bayley And Sasha Are Tired Of Being Humble. Well, Sasha Banks Is But Not Bayley Yet.  Bayley came out smiling as if nothing happened with some mixed reactions from the crowd. Bayley apparently doesn't get it because she's been humble with her best friend and she basically states that she's not the bad guy and never will be the bad guy (will see about that).  After Bayley talks about how Charlotte is selfish, out came the queen and she says that Charlotte is the queen of selfishness with no hugging but Sasha Banks came out before the queen was going to say about what she's going to do at Clash Of Champions.  Charlotte kicks the Smackdown women's champion and Sasha brawled with Charlotte which led to Bayley hitting Flair with a series of chair shots before Banks got her turn. ...

The 5 News Week: Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.

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.  Some images via wwe.com Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.  By the time this article hits the interwebs, this piece of news will be outdated as f**k because SO many reports have been released left, right and centre regarding Adam Cole's status in world wrestling entertainment (yea, no sh*t, a**hole).  So, Let's summarize this bad boy. Adam Cole's contract expired after the 2021 edition of NXT's Great American Bash show this past July and agreed to extend his contract till Summerslam (from Wrestling Inc ).  Dave Meltzer of "I should think before I say something", has heard that Cole was offered a contract from "the best brand for white guys with wrestling podcasts", AEW while...
