The 5 News Week: Keith Lee On His "Bear Cat" Persona.

Before I start this news week, I want to address my 2 viewers that read this site frequently. Massive apologies for the inconsistent content recently.

I wasn't feeling well (not Covid related, thankfully and yes, I did take the 5G super deluxe ultimate vaccine so you should too if you haven't already) and I had to put my life on pause for the recovery process to begin (not the Quantum Break type).

Part of me felt really sh*tty that I didn't provide my usual consistent reviews, news weeks and other forms of content to you guys (what I meant by "you guys" is JJ and probably my alt account reading this).

Thankfully, the content grind is back if you're into a wannabe film critic like wrestling takes with bad jokes.

For those unaware, in this article, I write about the 5 major or minor news, rumours and spoilers. However, because I've been off creating content for 2 weeks, some of the topics this week are opinion based.

So, let's get it!

Quick Thoughts On Extreme Rules 2021.

Now, this was supposed to be "The Coherent Review" but WWE's latest PPV show does not deserve a review because, like their writing and booking, my thoughts will be half a**ed.

Usually, when I consume entertainment, I'll point out the high and low moments of a program.

In this rare instance, I felt a sense of neutrality throughout most of the show which is what made this show, pun intended, EXTREMELY skippable.

Like when Sasha Banks returned, I'm supposed to be excited. Instead, my reaction is, "Eh. I'm hoping she's vaccinated".

The ending was the only time on this 3 hour PPV that I didn't have the feeling of "meh". Matter fact, It made me react like, "Alhamdulillah, the shaytan has been defeated. God is great."

Thoughts On The 2021 WWE Draft So Far.

The WWE Draft aka the new face of the word, "spontaneous".

The 2021 edition of the annual WWE draft (night 1) exposed the main problem with all drafts in recent years and that is, it's set up right in the middle of a time where both shows don't need new faces especially since some of those new faces have a story arc going on.

And yes, the selected draft picks don't take into effect until after Crown Jewel but then comes another question, why can't the draft happen AFTER Crown Jewel?

Side note, why split The New Day AGAIN!?

There were picks in the draft that I, as a wannabe wrestling pundit, approve of.

The pick for Drew McIntyre going to Smackdown is a needed fresh start for the Greek looking Scotsmen as he's done everything there is to do on Monday Night RAW.

While the draft (so far) is prettay, prettay, pretty random, it isn't the most offensive thing I've seen. Will see what night 2 has in store.

Keith Lee On His new "Bearcat" Persona.

Since I've caught up with all of the major shows within a few week period, I found out that Keith Lee has a nickname, "Bearcat".

I have two questions, is it because Keith Lee is big as a bear and fast as a cat or is the name based on legendary wrestler Bearcat Wright aka the first-ever black world champion in professional wrestling?

I don't know but Keith Lee has given his thoughts on the moniker on this past week's RAW Talk if you could call it that (from WrestlingInc):

"Whoever stands across the ring from me will realize the same thing that you are right now – the mission is the same, the person they thought they knew is ever so slightly different.”

From the outside looking in, that statement sounds like something out of a mean Rocky fan fiction or even a bad Romcom. Pick your poison.

Mojo Rawley Working For TMZ!?

Yes, the headline above is indeed correct (somehow, The Miz made the word "correct" cringe to utter so thanks, bro).

More specifically, the former WWE superstar is joining TMZ sports. He'll also be part of Fox Sports 1 (a channel so dead, even CM Punk couldn't save it).

Where is Shane McMahon At?

A question nobody asked (not even his own father, if I had to guess) but since the news was slow, I put this piece of news there for the content.

So, where is Shane NO? Well, according to Fightful Select, Shane is still contracted with the company as a talent but he's rarely in the WWE offices.

I mean, I would also rarely show up at WWE's head office but that's just me though.

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

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why. The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar). During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments. Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten. They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day. ...

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee. It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that. If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family. After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint. I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day. So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness. Now, Ho...
