The 5 News Week: Triple H Possibly LEAVING WWE!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. 

This is also the last 5 News Week of the year if you don't count the annual 5 News Week look back which yes, I am working on. 

3 and a half years of talking about the wild world that is professional wrestling and I appreciate all 2 of y'all that mess with my coherent reviews, this series and the bi-monthly editorials. 

Impact Wrestling's Johnny Swinger Thought Bray Wyatt Was At Bound For Glory!? 

During a discussion with Allan ‘Kwee Wee’ Funk’s ‘Get Funk’d’ show (a name so wild, that statement is coming from a guy that calls himself a Playa), the formerly Johnny Parisi mentioned how he thought The weird bushy Floridian, Bray Wyatt, was at this past year's Bound For Glory PPV but then Johnny witnessed the KISS Demon (From Post Wrestling):

"Bro, I didn’t know until he was standing there. I’m standing up on the ramp, I got a bodyguard, real good guy, his name’s Hernandez. Yeah, Hernandez, great guy, he plays my bodyguard. Awesome guy, I love working with him. He’s been with me for about seven, eight months now and dude, we’re looking at the rundown going, ‘Okay, we’re doing a thing with The Demon.’ 

Dude, I didn’t know who The Demon was because there’s some other guys that go by ‘The Demon’. It was [a] guy, that Bray Wyatt, I thought maybe it was him. They call him The Demon sometimes. 

But all it said on the sheet was ‘Demon’. It didn’t say ‘KISS Demon’ and until we saw Dale, Hernandez is the one [who] pointed him out and said, ‘There’s the Demon’ and I was like, ‘Holy sh*t."

I too thought that Bray Wyatt is coming if you're in an acting improv group or something. 

WWE Removes Liv Morgan's "Greedy Contract" Line From YouTube. 

The general consensus regarding WWE's latest attempt at a "shoot, shoot, pew" promo is that it was pretty much a sh*tty thing to write into the entire dialogue. 

And, like the title describes above, WWE removed that line from the contract signing segment itself. 

So, Who says WWE doesn't listen to their audience (Ryan Satin? Oh, that makes sense)? 

Joe Lando On Wanting To Wrestle On GCW. 

There's no denying that GCW is the hottest independent promotion right now. It's so hot in fact, NWA looked at the promotion like, "so," the loser stays in NWA" idea was really bad huh?" 

The promotion got the attention of the British native, Joe Lando which he mentioned as THE promotion he would like to perform in during an interview with Frank Mandolini of "I speak more languages than Cesaro"  Last Minute Wrestling podcast (from his press release):

"In terms of promotion definitely GCW, because in terms of American independents, GCW’s probably at the top right now. They had an incredible growth. And a lot of that was through the pandemic as well, so shout-out GCW."

Triple H Possibly LEAVING WWE!? 

Yes. The headline is a misdirect like a typical Marvel Cinematic Universe trailer and it was a rumour being discussed on the interwebs but it's worth highlighting Hunter's current status in WWE.

And the status is? He ain't leaving the company (great journalism there. I don't know if I should call you Tom Colohue). 

Wade Keller of the PWTorch further elaborated on that according to his snitch saying (from Cagesideseats):

"Hunter cannot cash out and just leave without it affecting the family dynamic in a way that was just more negative than something Triple H would do... Hunter is either gonna work in WWE or not but not work against them in the pro wrestling business." 

Execs In WWE THINKING Tony Khan Buys AEW Show Tickets!? 

At least that's what Bryan Alvarez has heard after typing in the F4Wonline message board. 

This piece of news sounds like something Kayfabe News would come up with in that it's the most creative thing WWE has thought of in almost 4 years of talking about wrestling. 

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

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

The Obsession With Ratings. Warranted Or Not?

(Just a bit of a heads-up, this article contains a lot of the word "ratings").  Rating. Rating. Rating. It is a word that you see or hear many times throughout your wrestling fandom but why is that?  Well, it's interesting to see how your weekly consumption does by the numbers every week.  However, that conversation can turn the other way.  The toxic, " logic-filled" , gatekeeping way that is (you see why I muted the word "rating" on Twitter?).  Fans have been talking about TV ratings for years but that discussion has skyrocketed once AEW Dynamite and NXT airs on the same night every week ya know because wrestling fans am I right?  Before I answer the question of whether the obsession with TV ratings is warranted or not, I'll first have to briefly describe the Nielsen rating (which is an American TV rating system. No sh*t, Omar).  A Summary Of The History Of The Nielsen Ratings.  The Nielsen rating system was introduced...
