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.

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

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 State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
