The 5 News Week: Companies INTERESTED In Bronson Reed!?

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.

Vinnie Massaro On Training Cain Valesquez. 


Vinnie Massaro is one of those performers in the business where you didn't know his fingers have shaped up some of the most well-known competitors. 

One of those competitors is Dominik Mysterio's God son, Cain Valesquez. 

During an Interview with Last Minute Wrestling Podcast's Frank Mandolini, Massaro described how he trained Velasquez: 

"When I got him, he had like literally nothing so he didn't know anything about pro wrestling. I taught him a lot more of the basic stuff. 

I showed him a couple of things here and there, some arm drags and stuff like that. 

But, once he got to Mexico, I think he got in the ring with some of those Lucha guys. 

He trained with some of the other wrestlers psycho-clown and they taught him some stuff like that." 

Side note, Seeing two POCs talk about their culture in an era of Italianphobia content like Tony D'Angelo is bittersweet (by the way, that entire sentence was sarcasm but for real though). 

(If you somehow found this site, for Allah's sake, PLEASE credit the transcript and the podcast itself).

Companies INTERESTED In Bronson Reed!? 


The man that mutes a Hispanic woman every Monday, has reported on Fightful Select that Impact Wrestling are interested in Bronson Reed (or Jonah Rock as he's known within the independence scene) and NJPW has "made a big play" on bringing Reed in. 

Talk about a guy that should've been at the very least, NXT champion.

While yes, he did win the North American championship but that reign lasted longer than That's 80 Show so. 

Toxic Attractions' Jacy Jayne Probably Missing Halloween Havoc. 

In some unfortunate injury news. The OG "wrestling review show starring a white dude that rants", Bryan Alvarez, stated on the Wrestling Observer Live a few days back that Toxic Attraction's Jacy Jayne's Halloween Havoc status is "unclear" following a bad fall during a triple threat match at this past week's episode of NXT even though she underwent a CT scan. 

Like I always say in my injury report news, I wish Jacy Jayne nothing but the speediest of recoveries. 

Quick Thoughts On Smackdown Yesterday. 


Y'all thought that a draft would've executed a somewhat interesting program? Psst, gamer word, please! 

There's no reason why the opening segment is longer than the entire Queen's Crown tournament. 

You know it's sad when Brock's beating to Adam Pearce is longer than Liv Morgan's few minutes of women's main event fame back in July. 

And do not get me started on the Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch title exchange which has caused both women to actually argue with each other backstage. 

That could've easily been avoided had they actually made the decision to have Sasha Banks win the Smackdown women's championship at Crown Jewel. 

Shotzi Going To Be A HEEL!?

"ALL CAPS" Mike Johnson of PWInsider has noted that Shotzi is going to be presented as a heel on Smackdown given that the team of Shotzi and Tegan Nox are no more.  

Why Shotzi as a heel? Well, if there's one thing I've learned from the creative and clearly, risk-taking title exchange segment is that Vinnie Mac knows what he's doing. 

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

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
