The 5 News Week: Vince McMahon Has Wrestlemania 39 Plans?

 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. 

Roman Reigns THE PART-TIMER!? 

I guess he followed John Cena's promo 5 years ago saying that he may do it part-time better than he does it full time. 


He's heard from his snitch that when discussing the tribal chief's part-time schedule, the success of the first night of this year's Wrestlemania, convinced Titan Towers that they don't need to feature their top champion on every PPV since the Peacock money is "guaranteed" (the fact that I laughed at the line, "Peacock money" should tell you how immature I am). 

Kota Ibushi BREAKS UP With NJPW!?

To quote Chris Hero's WWE theme song, "Oh no. Oh no. OH NO!" Speaking of the F4WOnline guys, Bryan Alvarez mentioned on Wrestling Observer Live that Kota Ibushi "burned his bridge" with New Japan and the entire Japanese wrestling scene. 

The reason? Well, to keep it brief, it stems from Kota Ibushi's issues with bad NJPW management which include sexual harassment, one of the executives, Kikuchi and "cheater-guns" (shout out to @golden_kuma for the translation).

F**K EM! 

An Update Regarding Leyla Hirsch's Injury. 

PWInsider and "why's my headline written by Oney Lorcan" Mike Johnson, noted that Leyla Hirsch's Injury sustained on AEW Dark last month was believed to be an "ACL and/or MCL tear". 

Wishing her nothing but the Willy West level speedy recovery.

Brief Thoughts on Smackdown Yesterday. 

I surprisingly like it. Yes, it felt like a continuation of Wrestlemania Backlash but they did show some unique match-ups and arcs (hence the sentence, "leftovers with fresh salad on the side"). 

Vince McMahon Has Wrestlemania 39 PLANS!?

Long term storytelling on its way back via the crazy white old man himself? Remember that Money In The Bank commercial where Cody Rhodes said something along the lines of "winner of the MITB contract gets a championship opportunity at Wrestlemania"? 

Well, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (from WrestlingInc) has heard from multiple sauces that the commercial was a mistake. 

However, they've mentioned that Vinnie Mac has plans set for next year’s Wrestlemania that isn't related to the Money In the Bank contract regarding a guaranteed title shot. 

To quote an overused line, "will see what happens." 

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

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
