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 Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason. Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed. There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO." pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020. The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars. Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G. Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff. You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is. Maybe I'm igno...

THE Coherent AEW Take: Christian Dior, Dior. Eddie Kingston up in all the stores!

Ever since AEW Dynamite was on Saturday night for a bit, I've been WAY behind on AEW content so excuse my ignorance. And It's Full Gear weekend which means another PPV that would last longer than the Snyder cut. Sheeit, I'll bet the collar and elbow hold alone from the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega championship match, is longer than the entire Queen's Crown tournament. As far as how I feel about both programs this week, well. They did an okay job on building towards the final AEW PPV of the year this Saturday. Rampage. Highlights. Bryan Danielson vs Anthony Bowens. And no, the highlight doesn't include Max Caster's verses. I'll rather listen to f**king Riff Raff than Max Caster's dig on anything. The worst part, people are probably going to look at this and say, "can't wait for a Max Caster's appearance on Wild 'N Out!" With that being said, this opening match was good. Danielson wins with the rebel lock. Eddie Kingston (wi...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Fyter Fest 2020 Came Back Swinging?

Last week, on this very series, I said that I enjoyed Great American Bash better than Fyter Fest. Well, this week is the exact opposite. AEW came in swinging with night 2 Fyter Fest. I've not liked a Dynamite episode in several weeks so it's nice to see that the show finally executed a great show since God knows how long. NXT Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective). Mia Yim vs Candice LeRae In A Street Fight. The match went underway after Yim quickly attacked Candice LeRae during LeRae's entrance. In the crowd area, Candice tried to nail the suplex on the table but Yim got out of that position and kicked her to which she landed through the table. The Streetfight concluded with LeRae striking Yim with the brass knuckles followed by a swinging neck from the top of the table onto a bunch of chairs and that's how LeRae defeats the HBIC. A fun opening match even though...
