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.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
