A Few News I Guess: Brian Cage Was Supposed To Debut At Chris Jericho's Cruise!?

Since this past week’s news was slower than a 70s wrestling match, I decided to provide you guys with a few news, I guess? 

Now, there was supposed to be a 3rd story that talked about the IATSE Strike and how it would affect professional wrestling television production but just yesterday, the 128-year-old union's West Coast area just reached a 3-year agreement with the producers union, the AMPTP which isn't a great deal for the workers but corporations, am I right? 

Let's say if IATSE did go on strike today, I honestly can't see it affecting WWE all that much (I do see it affecting AEW though since they utilized IATSE to handle their production side of things). 

Besides, if there's one thing we've learned from last year is that even at the height of the pandemic, WWE's televised programs were still airing. For all we know, their shows will still be on the air even in a post-apocalyptic world. 

I don't know if y'all played the Last Of Us but there was an easter egg in which Monday Night RAW was still airing with a 200-year-old Vince McMahon wrestling against a broomstick and a pillow in a triple threat mini salad steel cage match with moving dildos. 

I don't make sh*t up, guys but you gotta give some credit, at least this story is more believable than anything Tom Colohue has put out. 

Also, unions rule. 

Frustration Going On Regarding The Women’s Division. 

If you've been watching the main roster shows as of late (sorry to hear that), you'll notice how the women have been getting the amount of screen time that Bob O'Neill gets on his "corner's 3" segment in that it's too damn short (a possible Distraction appearance?). 

From Fightful Select, there've been frustrations from WWE wrestlers and staff surrounding the women's division and the Queen's Crown tournament. If the tournament was rated on Rotten Tomatoes then the whole thing is a damn rotten. 

Look, guys. You do not need a redneck to tell you guys that the division has been showcased with a lack of importance or even a slight interest. 

It sucks because these performers are so talented considering that they shouldn't deal with the little amount of enthusiasm from the higher-ups. 

Brian Cage Was Supposed To Debut At Chris Jericho's Cruise!?

In an interview with The Dynamite Download podcast (can smell the Caucasity from the name alone), Brian Cage revealed that he was scheduled to make his AEW debut at Chris Jericho's Cruise (from Post Wrestling): 

"I talked to Tony [Khan], somewhere at the end of December 2019 and we pretty much worked it out and then originally I was gonna try to debut at the Jericho cruise, and then, it went to the first Dynamite in February but I tore my bicep the second weekend in January, my last weekend with IMPACT. So then I had surgery and that changed everything [for] what we originally planned."

Cool. 

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

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

The 5 News Week: There Was Supposed To Be A New Nation Of Domination Stable!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. Why Did The Sasha Banks And Asuka Match Have A Head Scratching Ending? The boss and the empress of tomorrow had a match of the night at Extreme Rules this past Sunday but the ending is a different story.  So, why did an over-complicated type of an ending like this was written into the PPV?  Well, good old Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez stated on Wrestling Observer Radio (From Cagesideseats ) that the finish was layed off like that so that the rematch (which was announced on the recent episode of Monday) will happen.  The hope for that is to "pop a number" in the ratings.  In other words, it was a reported marketing decision (no f'ing sh*t, Omar). Hey, at least we're getting a rematch, right?  Mike Bennett On Contemplating Leaving Pro...

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...
