The 5 News Week: Why Did Kushida Leave WWE?

 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. 

Gangrel On Joining Edge's Faction. 

Gangrel may not stop till he sees blood but something that he also wouldn't stop is wanting to be part of a group that stars Edge as a Far Cry 5 level cult leader minus the religiosity of it all. 

Here's what he had to say about that in an interview with WrestlingInc: 

"There’s no reunions, no talks, with Christian or Edge, Although it would be really cool to be with Damian Priest and Edge, that’s cool. I love how he’s got like a mixed Brood/Taker vibe with the raise of the chair and the fire. That was really cool. I am really happy for him, he’s a really good dude."

Tony Khan Investigates In The BOTS!? 

Tony Khan loves his top of the hour advertisements after a series of tweets that has nothing to do with said ads. 

Now that's some rich boy sh*t. What's also some rich boy sh*t is hiring "IT experts" to look into the "anti-AEW" that he claims were "bots" citing an "independent study". Here's what he said during a discussion with TV Insider: 

"I have hired IT experts that put together a much more sophisticated explanation than I’m capable of giving. It’s a real thing, or I wouldn’t have brought it up. I have a pretty good reputation in this business for honesty." 

(mofo pulled a crystal mommy on Facebook with that "independent study" line) 

Why Did Kushida Leave WWE!?

*slapping my head* I'll tell you why! Voices Of Wrestling (that f**king POS. Thanks to WrestlingInc for the quotes) has heard from their snitch that he felt some "displeasure with the way he had been used” since the transition from black and gold NXT to #ad for Skittles NXT among other things like his pitch to go back to NJPW. 

Talk about a person so massively underutilized since his initial few months with NXT. Kushida deserved so much better than what he was presented with. 

Warner Media In Discussions Regarding ROH!? 

Oh look, our crystal mommy Tony Khan is back. 

From his interview with Robbie Fox's My Mom's Basement podcast, the man in charge of all things Elite has talked about ROH as well as pursuing a TV deal for the flips and kicks brand and talks with the now Warner Discovery regarding what comes next for Ring Of Honor (from WrestlingInc):

"I am really excited to get Ring Of Honor weekly television distribution, and working on those details. I’ve had a lot of really exciting conversations with the people at WarnerMedia about the future of Ring Of Honor, which I think everybody is really excited about.”

It would be funny if ROH was dumped into the CW network. 

New Trademark For A NXT SUPERSTAR!? 

Another week, another trademark for WWE specifically for NXT 2.0. The company filed the trademark "Damaris Griffin” and "D-Griff" last Tuesday according to the USPTO or the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Here's what the trademark describes: 

"Mark For: D-GRIFF trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment.”

It is specifically for James Barron Jr as he just made his first television appearance on NXT Level Up yesterday. 

To quote that episode of Futurama, "I have no strong feelings one way to another." 

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

Will Hobbs. Professional Wrestling's Powerhouse

"What's the most powerful house you can think of? Perhaps a bungalow, something that's low, unshakable, that kinda thing? ” Hey Ew, 2022 Think of the greatest big men in the history of the business. Big Van Vader who represents pure unadulterated aggression that seamlessly benefits his ferocious in-ring style ( see his match with Mitsuharu Misawa for more information).  Bam Bam Bigelow who's unpredictability inside the ring like his flying headbutts and moonsaults has made him spectacular to watch.  The Undertaker who have built a sense of aura by masterfully marching down the ring, creating anticipation in the process as well as constructing an expression of a man who hates video games and wants “men to be like men” .  And then there's Powerhouse Will Hobbs. A man who I believe in years to come is the heir apparent to the throne of “greatest big men in wrestling” and for good reason. Mr “I Break Backs Like Bane” possesses a power that belies his exuberance.  Why ...

WWE Smackdown 29/5/20 | A Coherent Review.

Other than the opening act, I thought this was a good effort from the blue brand once again.  One other thing that bothered me about this episode was that it lacked some continuation for the universal championship feud other than a highlight clip but I'm just nitpicking.  A Car Accident Happened!?  The episode started off with a car accident that got Elias badly hurt and Braun Strowman watching all of this unfold, telling Kalya Braxton that he hopes that somebody catches that SOB that did this.  The person that was also hurt and was behind was Jeff Hardy and it involved some alcohol in his system. Because of it, Hardy was arrested and taken to a local police station for further investigation.  That was my biggest fear for the drinking Hangman Page persona and now, it is Jeff Hardy's story you know, the same guy that had ACTUAL DRUG AND ALCOHOL PROBLEMS IN THE PAST!?  This is so wrong in so many ways. Turning someone's person...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.

  WE'RE BACK LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND NB! Now, what did I miss from the several week hiatus?  *Scrolls down at the news feed* a billionaire said something stupid. Monday Night RAW is still duh and uninspired. Mass release of talent by WWE.  So……. Same old sh*t? Figures.  For those unaware (pretty much everybody), The 5 News Week is where I showcase 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have the time to do separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 News Week.  An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.  I kick things off with an interview from a guy that I'm hoping (as a musician) appreciates Brie Bella's theme song because my music tastes suck, musician John Kiernan.  If the name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you’re listening to a podcast that loves shouting out the names John “loose cannon” Lopez and ‘Beast Mode” Brock Joseph at the beginning.  Kiernan has composed and straight-up killed it in the pro wrestling musi...
