Few News I Guess: Brief Thoughts On Survivor Series 2021.

Since last week's news were as slow as……………. That's actually a lie considering the unfortunate mass release and the fact that my mental health has been through the roof for the past couple of days (thanks random anxiety attacks, appreciate it).

Some NXT Superstars Getting NAME Changes!? 


Trademarking their names only to let them go mere months later. Yay! 

Anywho, here are the name changes for some of the NXT wrestlers/other talents (from PWInsider):

Mei Ying aka Wendy Choo. 

Kellie Morgan aka Mila Malani.

Aja Smith aka Daphne Lashaunn. 

DA Brewer aka Dallas Irvin. 

Tom Castor aka Derek Sanders.

Cooooooool. 

WWE's Mexico Office Going To CLOSE?? 

Yes, people. Like any other exploitative multinational corporation, WWE has an office base in Mexico specifically in the country's capital, Mexico City which was opened in the early 00s. 

A report was published by the city's metropolitan site Periódico Correo regarding WWE shutting down their office over there *Dr Umar Johnston's voice* FOR GOOD! 

Wrestling Inc (aka the OG copy paste site) reached out to Titan Towers and they pretty much went like, "Nah. It ain't true. The base isn't closing." 

Do I think I believe in world wrestling entertainment here? Hell Nah, ninjas due to one reason. They legit closed down their Japanese office a few months ago. 

That's it. That's the take. 

Brief Thoughts On Survivor Series 2021.


This is the first time I've skipped reviewing a WWE PPV as a whole in quite some time.

The reason? Well, one, this was supposed to be my brief thoughts on Smackdown and two, this PPV has been given the same amount of love and care in terms of its build-up as WWE 2K20. 

Now how was this year's Survivor Series? In short, it was aight. There was nothing about this show that stood out to me other than the opening contest. 

Vince McMahon showed up with a golden egg-like, "see guys, If you can get at my level, you could just let go of the majority of your workers just to buy THIS!"  

The opening match was awesome. The "shoot, pew cowboys" type of action here worked well in this case. 

Kevin Owens left his team hanging like how most people left me hanging after a handshake attempt (a**holes). 

You know who could replace Owens and be a worthy challenger? Old man Adam Sessler because why not, right (for those unaware, this was a G4 reference)? 

By the way, I saw a comment somewhere regarding the men's Survivor Series team saying, "I don't like those males" and for some reason, it made me laugh. 

I know the battle royal was one big Pizza Hut commercial but you gotta give them credit, at least they didn't sponsor the klan pizza in Papa John’s. 

Oh, and the main event was aight. 

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

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

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...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
