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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
