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.

WWE RAW 7/1/19 | My Coherent Review

My first RAW review of 2019 and surprisingly, this show was decent. Now, would RAW put on decent shows in the coming weeks or months? Probably not but I hope that's the case. Now, usually on my RAW and Smackdown Live reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad ( click here if you curious as to how the format looks like). However, since this is the new year, I'm gonna get rid of that and instead just put my in-depth thoughts just like my PPV reviews. Without further ado, on with the review.  Opening Segment The show itself started off with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley that lasted for a very short period of time. After that’s done, the opening segment started with John Cena and cuts a promo on how he’s gonna earn his golden ticket to Wrestlemania by entering in this year’s Royal Rumble match.  Out came Drew McIntyre and he said that Cena’s accomplishments is what Drew cares about. He then went on how he’s b...

WWE Smackdown Live 24/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was once again, a good show that did its job to build some hype for WWE super showdown. Now usually on my reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad. However, I'm only gonna tell you what's good and what's ok for this review because I didn't find anything bad about this episode. Now let's talk wrestling, shall we?  WHAT'S GOOD The opening segment   Man, this opening segment was entertaining and I believe this is the first time since 2011 that R Truth has been featured a lot on WWE television. Look, I know some people who find the five-second dance break cringeworthy but I thought that was funny. That segment led to a match between The Miz and R Truth and if want to know my thoughts on the match itself then look below.  Rusev calls out Aiden English   Basically, this segment goes like this. Rusev calls out Aiden to explain himself for his actions last week. Aiden then comes out to the ring and...

WWE Smackdown Live 18/6/19 | My Coherent Review.

Another win for WWE main roster TV. This was a very good show and it's because of those shows, I'm actually excited for Stomping Ground. Click here if you wanna read my review for Monday Night RAW last night.  Opening segment.  This show kicked with The New Day while I really like The New Day, them opening Smackdown feels repetitive at this point but it is what it is. Xavier Woods started to promote Kofi's match with Dolph this coming Sunday.  When Big E was about to reveal what he's going to do on the final hour, Dolph Ziggler showed up and said that Kofi doesn't deserve to be champion and how he relies on The New Day for his success. Kofi Kingston said "hold up, hold up" and mentions that he's been in a cage but in a different cage aka the Elimination Chamber and promises Ziggler that he's going to defeat the show-off.  Dolph Ziggler replied by saying that he's gonna beat Kofi and that title should be his. The way Zi...
