A Few News I Guess: AEW's Presence INCLUDED In The Royal Rumble!?

Since this week's news is as slow as a Monday Night RAW episode, I decided to showcase a few news, I guess? 

AEW's Presence INCLUDED In The Royal Rumble!? 

With talks of the "forbidden door" especially pertaining to Mickie James' upcoming Royal Rumble match appearance as THE knockouts champion, rumours have been circulating regarding AEW's presence on one of the big 4 that could make AEW fans' cholesterol increase.

Fortunately for the showerless individuals, they can rest now if they believe what Dave Meltzer of thewordmarkislikethenword.com has heard from his snitches. 

In the Observer Newsletter (from WrestlingInc), Meltzer specifically mentioned that there is NO AEW involvement whatsoever this coming Saturday.  

I, for one, love the idea of breaking down the "forbidden door" because it benefits the industry as a whole whether it's for the people working in the business or the people outside of the sector that are just fans. 

Fingers crossed that a surprise may happen at the Royal Rumble (and I'm praying to Allah that it isn't Dan f**king Lambert). 

REASONS As To Why FTR Wasn't On Dynamite This Week. 

The hogs from North Carolina were supposed to face the team of Lee Johnson and Brock Anderson but the match didn't happen. The odd part about this is that the entity didn't inform the world as to why they weren't on this week's Dynamite. 

And you know who got you on the scoop? It's the obvious AEW shill, Dave Meltzer BAYBEEEEEEEE! 

According to the man with a 1000 bad takes (again from WrestlingInc), the tag match was removed for "medical reasons". 

The article I just quoted from, noted that it may be COVID-19 related but has mentioned that they're alright. 

Wrestlers COMPLAINING About The WWE Creative Team!? 

Aka something both fans and wrestlers can relate to in this case. 

According to the podcast that isn't based on the TV show Mad Men, many performers have aired out their frustration on the WWE creative process "compared to just a few years ago" which is especially prominent amongst the top dawgs over at Titan Towers. 

I mean, kinda based!? 


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...
