The 5 News Week: Peter Dune Now BUTCH!? WHY!?

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. 

WWE Makes MORE CHANGES For WRESTLEMANIA!? 

It's specifically related to the women's tag team championship and how instead of the match being a standard tag team match between Carmella, Zelina Vega, Sasha Banks and Naomi, the championship encounter will be a fatal four-way tag team match. 

The reason being is that Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley pinned the tag champs this past week's Monday Night BORE and Natalya "YEA, BABY" might be teaming up with either Shotzi or Shayna Baszler. 

All of this came from the latest Observer Newsletter (from WrestlingInc). 

WWE loves their multi-person match so much, I'm surprised they didn't bring the fatal four-way PPV again. 

Here's hoping Vinnie Mac doesn't change the script hours before this year's Wrestlemania. 

An Update On MVP's Injury. 

I've talked about MVP's injury all the way back in February of this year and guess what? 

Montel himself has an update on his injury in an interview with Ryan Dunne's Wrestling With Freddie podcast (from WrestlingInc): 

"Right now, going through my physical – I guess, physical assessment, to get cleared to get back in the ring because, you know, I had that knee injury for a while. It’s all healed up, so now it’s just a matter of me jumping through their hoops to make sure that I’m physically capable of performing in the ring. So, I’m feeling good, man.

“The knee injury, the torn meniscus is completely healed, and now it’s just a matter of rebuilding the strength in the leg from my atrophy muscle. My teardrop is gone, non-existent. I’m building that back up, and my cardio, my cardio is much better than I thought it would be because I actually hired a trainer and I’ve been working on it. So, I’m further along than I thought I would be.”

Jeff Hardy Comments On His AEW Debut, "It Was Great". 

Brother Nero made his AEW debut by saving his brother from external forces for the millionth time. 

The cliche doesn't matter here because we're all glad to see the man. He discusses his first appearance on the elite brand in a QnA with Signed By Superstars (from Fightful): 

"It was great. It's always nerve-racking to appear in a new world. After I went out there and felt the energy of the people. It felt extremely right,"

Peter Dune Now BUTCH!? WHY!? 

OI BRUF! THE BUTCH IS COMING FOR YA, MATE! 

To summarize what Fightful Selectrinos has reported regarding the situation (again, shout out to WrestlingInc), the change of Pete Dunne's name "caused frustration" backstage by the folks who know about it and how "something dumb" was planned on the blue brand that day. 

And Wala! That dumba** name was born. 

Quick Thoughts On Smackdown Yesterday.

My thoughts? It was kinda there just like every Smackdown show over the past several months. 

But, at least I learned today that Paul Heyman can run faster than Brocky Brock so yeah. 


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

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...

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 ...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
