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.

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: Master P Buying House Of Glory!?, NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!?

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 . Sorry for not posting in two days. Just some personal stuff I gotta deal with and my Coherent Wednesdays review was a bit rushed and I want to nail it in a no pun intended, coherent matter if that makes any sense? Hopefully, my reviews will get better in the coming weeks.  Master P Buying House Of Glory!?  A great example of human beings having an unpredictable nature to them (ask Vince McMahon), Master P was interviewed somewhere in Manhattan and he announced that he has brought an independent wrestling promotion based in New York called House Of Glory or HOG which was founded by Brian XL and Impact Alumni Amazing Red in 2014.  PWInsider and Mike Johnson gave an update to this story stating that Master P will deliver the "muscle and production team" goi...

WWE NXT 17/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't feel anything about this show overall besides one very good match and an impactful debut. Here's why.  Matt Riddle vs Arturo Ruas.  Those two guys have a background in MMA so it was really interesting as to how the match turned out. Started out with some technical wrestling which if you've been a follower of this blog then you'll know how much I LOVE technical submission wrestling.   The match ended with Matt Riddle delivering a series of rights and the ref stopped it which means that Matt won the match. After that, a masked man revealed as Killan Dan was beating the crap out of him and it was so bad that Mauro Ranallo screamed "Mamma Mia" on top of his lungs which is pretty rare. I actually really liked this. It's a different way to debut somebody and insert that person quickly in a feud instead of having that superstar wrestle in so many squash matches which I don't mind if they went in that route.  The Street Profits ...
