The 5 News Week: NXT Stand And Deliver Happening HOURS Before WRESTLEMANIA!?

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. 

Jaxson Ryker On The Advice He r……. 

WHO GIVES A SH*T!? 

News On AEW's Talent Budget. 

Everybody's got a budget, right? That includes a multi-million dollar private entity founded by a billionaire that has more announcements than Fightful Overbooked. 

Dave Meltzer of wheresmypaycheckraj.com, mentioned on the Observer Radio (via WrestlingInc) that they do have a talent budget (no sh*t) and two performers were offered a contract by the Florida men in Jacksonville but they weren't "huge deals". 

If their TV deal is bigger at the start of 2024 then the company will likely sign new talent.  

Elimination Chamber 2022 Quick Thoughts. 

This is technically my 4th Elimination Chamber recap but it's not a full-fledged review because I slept early yesterday and the last thing I thought about was saying, "damn it, I missed a Saudi show, bro." 

That PLE that aired on my TV was okay. The Becky Lynch and Lita encounter was surprisingly good (speaking of the red women's belt, Bianca is going to face Becky at Wrestlemania because the EST won the Elimination Chamber match which was aight). 

The opening match between Rey Mysterio and The Miz was a match straight out of a 2011 episode of RAW. Drew squashed a guy. The blue tag belt match didn't happen (aka the "beating someone during their entrance that leads to a rematch" cliche). 

Two black women stood tall against the Karens. Roman made Santa Claus tap out which is nice. And finally, Brook laser beamed everybody to win the WWE championship again as if the story actually calls for it (wishing a speedy recovery for Bob the Lasher). 

Shouldn't Roman screw Lesnar again to build even further tension within that rivalry!? 

Vince McMahon Has BIG PLANS On Cody Rhodes!? 

That plan is being the only white civil rights leader in human history aka yet another history breaking moment for WWE. 

Wade Keller aka the Switzerland of wrestling journalism has noted on PWTorch's podcast that Vinnie Mac is pushing Cody Rhodes to the moon like he's the latest crypto grift or something.

Here's what the unofficial governor of Minnesota had to say (from WrestlingInc):

“Cody and WWE haven’t confirmed it but Cody is going to WWE and he’s going to get a big push. Vince McMahon is going to treat this as a big deal. Everybody I talked to thinks Vince loves the idea of acquiring a co-founder and EVP and, you know, main event wrestler. 

He just held their secondary singles title not that long ago, and having him show up on WWE TV is something that Vince is very interested in taking advantage of and making money on it. It could even be a situation where Cody is in a major match at WrestleMania.”

NXT Stand And Deliver Happening HOURS Before WRESTLEMANIA!? 

I may have stopped reviewing the NXT "trust me, I'm hip" edition but that doesn't mean I shouldn't cover some NXT news. 

"I hit and I miss" WrestleVotes, stated that NXT's upcoming show will air on April 2 at 11 am PST or 2 pm Bianca Belair EST time (shout out to Jaychele for that comment) HOURS before this year's Wrestlemania. 

Thank God Saturdays and Sundays are the weekends. 

WWE Commentator FIRED!? 

WWE firing people!? YOU DON'T SAY! 

Lucha Libre Online and Hugo Savinovich reported that veteran WWE Commentator of almost 30 years, Carlos Canberra was released by Titan Towers. 

The Spanish commentary table will definitely miss him. 

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

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition.  Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out.  The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative.  The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good?  Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand.  There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode.  Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight.  We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK!   I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all.  The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And….. Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment.  Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane.  That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great.  Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane.  That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reve...
