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 Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live.  WHAT'S GOOD    New day's celebration  You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment.  Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas   Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be.  Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.  McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules.  Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater.  In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year.  So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match?  It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
