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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! That's it. That's the intro. Rampage. Highlights. HOOOOOOOOK! I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH! What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course. Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud. FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me? The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs. Some Other Things That Happened. Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment. Dynamite. Highlights. Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG". It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire. Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine. As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game. And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system). I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much. Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way. I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
