John Cena DOESN'T Want To Work With Another Wrestling Company!? 


Don't let my clickbaity headline writing skills that'll probably make Fightful writer, Jeremy Lambert jealous (that's a lie, Omar). 

John Felix Anthony Cena did say that at a Florida Supercon during a Q/A session (more like, Florida Superspreadder am I riaght? Oh and shout out to Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling for the quotes): 

"There’s a whole like ‘never say never’ philosophy and I’m also that way in life because you never know what life will bring you. But, I can with certainty say no."

Cena is a WWE company guy through and through. 

But, at this point, John is such a big star (so big in fact that his latest line of merchandise didn't sell well) that it wouldn't hurt his career had he appeared at AEW or something given that he doesn't need WWE anymore, ya know. 

Mercedes Martinez About To Get New Theme Music From WWE?


Mercedes Martinez. You know, a pro wrestler with so much potential and offering in WWE yet the company released her (along with many others) for "budget cuts" because clearly, corporations are struggling to make money, right (sarcasm for all of you slow mofos)? 

She took place in a virtual meeting and greet with K&S WrestleFest and during the meeting, she revealed that there was a new theme song in the works for the former WWE performer (From Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling): 

"Yes [I did have input on my WWE theme music]. I had two themes for WWE. The first one, everyone pretty much loved which was from the Mae Young Classic when I first debuted so I had some input into that, making sure that it was Latin-influenced with some reggaetón in it so that was my favorite. 

When I came back from the pandemic, we changed it because I turned heel. I was just more badass and we had — I had a little bit of influence on that one too as well. We wanted it a little dark. It was more — I feel like it was a Undertaker vibe. 

So I did have a little bit of influence on that one as well. Before I got released, we were basically trying to come up with a new theme music where it was a interaction of both music’s put together to try to come up with something new.

Reinvention, an evolution I guess you can say but, for those who are watching me on the indies in the next couple of weeks and months, I do have brand new music that I had input on it. I helped with a composer to actually make that new music."

Her first theme song was all kinds of reggaeton catchiness. The second one? Generic isn't even the right word for it. That's how forgettable the theme song was. 

The Potential Market Value For AEW. 


Dave Meltzer of "the Godfather of wrestling pundits starring angry white dudes" spoke with a Stanford sports business about the total market value for the elite brand in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (from WrestlingInc): 

"I had a discussion with a sports business professor at Stanford who has followed the AEW business and put a market value of the product at $400 million right now."

F**king yikes. That's a LOT of revenue generated for a company that has been around for a few years now (yea, no f**king shit, Omar). 

When's Samoa Joe Coming Back To In-Ring Action? 

The specific answer according to the aforementioned Dave Meltzer (from Bleacher Report) is that it's "vague" and how Samoa Joe was rehired to the company to fill the "front-office person" role in the company. 

In other words, YOU JUST GOT CLICKBAITED! 

WWE BANNED How Many Words!? 

Too many, headline above at least according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Here are the words (from Cagesideseats): 

"Blood, choke, belt, strap, diva, head shot, trauma, kayfabe, Mofos, house show, DQ, The Anti-Diva, spinal injuries, victim, violence, violent, wrestling, wrestlers, WWF, wifebeater, curb stomp, phrases including the word “push” and “being over,” babyface, heel, job, jobber, card, strangle, kill and murder."

Yes, people, they banned the word "wrestling" and "wrestlers"! It's like Disney telling Marvel to ban the words "Superheroes" and "Heroes".

WWE is like the person that orders food without a series of core ingredients and in return, the person gets a bland, flavourless product. 


What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy? Anyways, stay safe smarks.

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston.  Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway.  A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking.  What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa.  Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down.  It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out?  Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...

WWE RAW 5/10/20 | A Coherent Review.

I have not said this in a RAW review in a very long time but the show as a whole was straight up dogsh*t awful.  It's so bad that I didn't like one ounce about this program.  pictures via wwe.com Randy Orton Remembers His Match At Clash Of Champions.  The show started off with Randy Orton recalling certain aspects about the WWE championship match at Clash Of Champions.  Orton goes on to say that Drew doesn't deserve the championship because the legends interfered in the ambulance match.  The promo ended with Orton bringing up the fact that he beat up four legends last week on RAW (again, explain the physics behind this?).  Drew showed up and he laid waste on the guy.  Randy has been quite exceptional in the dialogue department but this ain't it.  The promo actually put me to sleep and the show didn't even hit 10 minutes up until that point.  If they suddenly end the rivalry like nothing happened, while it doesn't make sense, I'm all for it be...

WWE NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff | My Coherent Review.

via WWE I don't watch or review the first NXT UK Takeover for some odd reason but I'm so glad I did because that was like the main NXT Takeovers, was absolutely great to watch. I'm just speechless and if you have watched the show then you'll know why (also, if you somehow didn't watch this show, what are you doing? Go and treat yourself with some wrestling goodness.) Noam Dar vs Travis Banks.  A very enjoyable opening match. Noam Dar proves that he's great at what he does with so many submission holes because if you don't know, I'm a technical wrestling connoisseur. Noam Dar won the match with a standing shining wizard.  Cesaro vs Ilja Dragunov. Always great to see Cesaro do what he does best and that's a fight inside the square circle. So, Ilja called out Cesaro because Cesaro's looking for an open challenge and Cesaro obviously picked his challenger.  The Swiss Cyborg started off this match by throwing Dragunov to the outside ...
