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.
