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: 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 Look Back At Each Individual Highlight Of Zack Ryder, Lio Rush as Cruiserweight Championship, The Writer Behind The Otis And Mandy Rose Story.

April 15th, 2020 is a memorable day for me. It is definitely the saddest and noteworthy day of not only mine and the fans' lives but as well as the performers and staff who were affected by this. I am of course referring to the day that WWE released dozens of talented, hard-working people.  For those who are new, I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week and that was the original plan.  However, since this week is probably going to be known in the future for the releases, I want to instead document 5 of the performers and staff's individual highlights in their tenure with WWE.  Understand that without the hardworking wrestlers, producers, ring crew, writers and the rest of the staff doing what they do best, there wouldn't be a Playard Wrestling Post. Without further ado, Ladies and gentlemen, this is The 5 News Week Look Back.  How Zack Ryder's Popularity In 2011 Played A Role In WWE's YouTube Strategy Today.  It's hard to believe ...

Priscilla Kelly Used A Tampon In A Wrestling Match: Right Or Wrong?

    If you have been away from social media for the past day or so, a wrestler by the name of Priscilla Kelly (who by the way, recently competed in the second Mae Young Classic tournament) competed in a match in which she pulled out her tampon and put it on her rival's mouth. That struck the wrestling world on Twitter with differences of opinions. She did respond to this on Twitter and here's what she had to say: Hey guys. Ya know, it's all fake. 21+ show with a bar. Can't take life so serious all the time. Call me what you will... 🌹 — The Priscilla Kelly (@priscillakelly_) January 5, 2019 What do I think of this? I don't understand why this became as viral as it is considering that we've seen hardcore, brutal, disgusting stuff in a wrestling match before. However, it did get an "ugh" reaction out of me.  Was it right or wrong that she did this? My answer is none considering that wrestling is subjective and there's no such thing ...
