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.

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...

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.  ...
