The 5 News Week: Is Rey Mysterio RETIRING!?

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. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. 

The IIconics SUPPOSED to APPEAR at The Women's Royal Rumble!? 

Admittedly, this piece of news is a week and a half old but you may think it isn't all that bad. 

Well, because of how the wrestling news cycle moves faster than an MCU Disney Plus show, this story might as well be 5,000 years old. 

From Fightful Selectrinos, the current Impact knockouts tag team champions were offered to be part of this year's stinker that was the Royal Rumble show, more specifically the women's Royal Rumble match but they refused. 

Mustafa Ali Has A YEAR LEFT In His CONTRACT!? 

My man Mustafa Ali be begging for his WWE release like Oliver Twist (can't blame the guy, I guess). 

And kinda bad news I guess for the talented performer and a certified face of humanity because according to said Al Fightful Bin Select, Mustafa Ali has "well over a year into his contract, at least". 

Bianca Carelli SIGNED with WWE!? 

Representation is important in any industry, especially in professional wrestling. 

So, it's great to see more POCs in the business, specifically, Italians. 

From the man that once rap battled against Akon, Santino Marella, confirmed in an interview with JBL and Gerald Brisco's Stories With Bradshaw and Brisco that his daughter, Bianca Carelli has signed with world wrestling entertainment and will be at the performance center in 2 weeks. 

Side note but JBL has a podcast now? What are the podcast topics include? Why bullying should be legal? 

Mauro Ranallo Has A NEW SERIES COMING!?

We all can agree that Twitter is legitimately, a blue hell something that The Rock has warned us about for many years based on the number of times he's used the damn word.  

One of the best things (wink, wink) about that darn website was Mauro Ranallo and his interactions with the fanbase. 

And now, he's hosting a reality-based show coming out on March 16th called "Beyond The Edge" being aired on CBS and Paramount Plus, you know, the thing Star Trek Picard is in. 

It's basically Survivor but celebrities (that is such a mid-2000s idea for a reality show, it's actually funny). 

When is Rey Mysterio RETIRING? 

Let's hear it from the man himself (from WrestlingInc): 

"I think I’ll step back once I feel like my son is ready just to take off on his own,” “That would be really helpful for him. I’m hoping that it happens within this year. For him to branch out and take care of things on his own. I’ve had the opportunity to be on the same house shows as him, with me wrestling in a completely separate match and him wrestling by himself."


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

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

WWE Hell In A Cell 2020 | A Coherent Review.

WWE is continuing the streak of shorter PPVs and as a guy that lives overseas, I don't mind WWE doing this even if the fans come back to arenas.   Also, The 2020 edition of Hell In A Cell had a decisive and conclusive ending. Yayyyyyy!  The show itself was okay but it did have its moments, to say the least.  pictures via WWE.com Roman Reigns vs Jey Uso. Hell In A Cell I Quit Match.  I gotta say.  It is so weird to hear boos that WWE adds in the background for Roman Reigns given the history they've had in altering actual boos from the crowd many years ago.  It is also weird for WWE to open this show with a match that main evented the previous PPV. The question is, was it worth it? Heck yeah, dude.  Both men hit each other's finishers not once but twice and it wasn't enough for Reigns and Jey Uso to quit.  At one point, the match was turned into a strap match of some sort because Roman and Jey tied themselves with that strap. Jey used the strap...

WWE Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall.  Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead.  If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind.  Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship.  Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment.  All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage.  Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...
