AEW Full Gear 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Apologies to my 4 viewers that this review is shorter than the last time I did an AEW PPV review which was Revolution (big f**king yikes, Omar. Fake wrestling fan). 

It's just that TK is killing me with the 4 hour long PPVs but at this point, my complaints on how long the show would last are getting old so let's get into how this show ABSOLUTELY F'ING RULED LIKE A MONARCH! (For the most part because nothing is perfect). 

MJF vs Darby Allin. 

While I believe MJF's character is a walking dummies article on how to be a heel, the guy can wrestle his a** off as seen by the opening contest with Darby Allin. 

MJF made my favourite wrestling bruf William Regal proud due to the fact that he used the brass knuckles to win the match. 

Where does Maxwell go from here? I can't believe I'm saying this but I could see him wrestling Sting and the worst part about this statement is that I wouldn't mind it. 2019 me would've slapped the sh*t out of 2021 me. 

The Lucha Brothers vs FTR For The AEW World Tag Team Championship. 

Speaking of fun matches. The guys that are in my favourite match of the year (I'm referring to the steel cage match at All Out), wrestled another fantastic encounter with FTR. 

Can I just say that I'm glad that FTR is an entity that appreciates tag team wrestling? 

The Lucha Brothers retained the titles with a double team spike piledriver. The Lucha Brothers are so immune to the "Distraction finish", WWE executes, pulls a Brandy and says, "impossible". 

Bryan Danielson vs Miro. AEW World Championship Number One Contender's Tournament Finals. 

Bryan Danielson's theme is literally born for greatness because man, the theme makes me wanna pull a Rocky montage. This song got nothing on "Hearts On Fire". 

I will say, the match was a little too short for my wrestling liking but it was a solid match nevertheless. 

Bryan has won the entire tournament and will go on to face a certain AEW world champion for the title. Ya boy is rubbing his hands like Birdman with excitement. 

The Young Bucks And Adam Cole vs Christian And The Jurassic Express In A Street Fight.

It's surreal to think about how Adam Cole was in WWE as NXT champion at the start of the so-called "Wednesday Night War" and now, he's in the exact opposite company titan towers is trying to compete with. 

With that being said, the match was prettay, prettay, pretty good. The match saw The Young Bucks delivering a double superkick on Jungle Boy while Jungle Boy had a series of thumbtacks inside his mouth. 

If y'all wanna pull moves like this, at the very least your country should have free universal healthcare.

The elite guys lost to a conchairto from Jungle Boy to Nick Jackson. 

Cody Rhodes And Pac vs Andrade El Idolo And Malaki Black. 

The city of Minneapolis, Minnesota are sick and tired of the white saviour narrative. Why? Just look at Cody Rhodes during this tag team bout. The match was decent for what it was. 

Cody Rhodes and Pac prevailed in the end with the black arrow to which Cash Wheeler and Dax Hardwood laid waste on Rhodes and Pac. Cool. 

Britt Baker vs Tay Conti For The AEW World Women's Championship. 

Was looking forward to the match and unfortunately, it kinda disappointed me due to the fact that it felt kinda there. I know AEW could do better than that especially since that division has improved a lot this past year. 

Britt Baker retains with a roll-up. 

CM Punk vs Eddie Kingston. 

Aka the match with one of the best in-ring promos, I've seen all year. 

And the encounter itself was decent. CM Punk won with a GTS and after the match, 

Eddie didn't show any respect for the guy. Roman Reigns looked at this like, "I like this Eddie person." 

I'm sure we're going to see a rematch. It's just a matter of when is my question. 

The Inner Circle vs Scorpio Sky, Ethan Page And American Top Team. 

A match I couldn't care less about. And you know it's bad when a catchy Fozzy song isn't the worst part about the entire feud. 

The Inner Circle wins with a frog splash from one white person I dislike, Chris Jericho to another, Dan Lambert.  I will give Chris some credit, the frog splash tribute to Eddie Guerrero was awesome to see. 


So, Jay Lethal has officially signed with AEW and he's getting a TNT championship on Dynamite against Sammy Guevara. Uh, why (and I'm not going to elaborate as to why I feel that way, Bing is literally free). 

Kenny Omega vs Hangman Page For The AEW World Championship. 

THE match that was two years in the f**king making and it absolutely delivered as anticipated. 

SCREW YOU, RIGHTEOUS REG! SCREW YOU, FELLOW WWE SHILL, LOUIS DANGOOR because Adam Page has finally won the big one with two clotheslines. Let's go, boys, girls and NB. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: MJF vs Darby Allin, The Lucha Brothers vs FTR, The Young Bucks And Adam Cole vs Christian And The Jurassic Express, Hangman Page vs Kenny Omega and what happened after the match. 

Didn't like: Britt Baker vs Tay Conti, Why Jay Lethal?

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 ...
