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 Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition.  Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out.  The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative.  The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good?  Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand.  There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode.  Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight.  We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK!   I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all.  The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And….. Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment.  Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane.  That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great.  Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane.  That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reve...
