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.

The 5 News Week: Yet Another Update Regarding NXT Moving To Tuesdays.

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.   Some Images via wwe.com Leyla Hirsh Signed With AEW All The Way Back In October? Leyla Hirsh is an extraordinary talent that I assumed was signed recently based on the official announcement from the man with a great Bernie Sanders impression, Tony Khan.  However, in a virtual signing for High Spots Wrestling Network , Hirsh revealed that she was signed with the elite brand all the way back in October (shout out to Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling for the quotes): "I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say any of this but, my first week on Wednesday night, I faced [Hikaru] Shida [on AEW Dark] and that was great and then there was an incident with — there was a match that was supposed to happen with the girls and it didn’t because there was an injury and then th...

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...

How Naomi's Royal Rumble 2020 Return SHOOK Black Twitter.

If you haven't been watching WWE for 10+ years, well first off, why are you here and secondly, can I be like you because I'm jealous?  Let me recap who Naomi is. She is a wrestler, actor, dancer, singer and a former women's champion who's been with WWE for 10 years.  In other words, Naomi is a future EGOT winner and you cannot tell me otherwise.  Thanks to her persona that resonated with the audience whether as a heel or a babyface, she has built up a following that is "ride or die" for the former funkadactyl aka stans which I am a part of.  Why? Because if there's one thing I have in common with Stan Twitter is that we love to call white people "ageing at the speed of crack".  She may be throwing glow sticks like an early 2010s Ellie Goulding music video, but she's a capable talent that can hang with the best of the best.  But, you read the title. This ain't about a career retrospect about Naomi (although I don't mind doing so), but ...
