A Few News I Guess: Fred From The Scooby-Doo Movie Made A WWE Star CRY!?

 Since I didn't have time to come up with 5 major or minor news of the week in the name of "productivity", I decided to showcase a few news, I guess? 

News On The Judgment Day Stable Going SOUTH!?

The reason why (according to their snitch at Fightful Select) we witnessed a Vince Russo-style twist with Finn Balor being the leader by turning on Edge is that the WWE wanted a "supernatural" direction (oh no, does this mean the stable will last 15 years?). 

However, Edge was like, "Nah, I don't like that." The twist was planned hours before this week's Monday Night RAW while a plan for a Finnie Baylord heel turn was coined in days before the Hell In A Cell PPV. 

Fred From The Scooby-Doo Movie Made A WWE Star CRY!?

No. This isn't kayfabe news like satire. On the June 1st episode of Freddie Prinze Jr's "Wrestling With Freddie" podcast, Ryan Dunne recalled the time he made former Divas champion Michelle McCool cry by writing her to lose a Divas championship match at the Royal Rumble (2011 I assume) "with dignity" (from WrestlingInc): 

“I am a complete rookie, I have no idea the politics of it, Michelle never came to the promo class so I didn’t really know Michelle at all, I start pitching it to her, what it was gonna be, which, it wasn’t right on my part. I explain to her that the suggestion is that she drops the title at the Royal Rumble … and her face just goes pale, all the color just drops right out of her, literally right out of her skin … her eyes well up.”

He then got the point that the title meant so much for McCool especially since she didn't expect to lose the championship and the fact that he was tasked to create a match between Kharma aka Awesome Kong and Beth Phoenix. 

WWE Really HIGH On GUNTHER!?

Why is that? Well, Fightful Select has noted that the former UK champion's move to America (burther) and his diet commitments (them packs though) have pretty much impressed WWE. 

Considering that he's had an undefeated streak and won the intercontinental championship within a few months of his main roster re-debut, this report made a ton of sense. 

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...

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston.  Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway.  A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking.  What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa.  Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down.  It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out?  Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...

The 5 News Week: Quick Predictions On Wrestlemania: Backlash.

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.   A Brief Thoughts On AEW Dynamite.  For the first time on this very series, I am going to briefly discuss my thoughts on AEW Dynamite and it was decent for the most part. I do have some perspectives on a few key things.  Most notably, that Cody Rhodes promo which by the way, was without exaggeration, one of the worst PROMOS I've ever witnessed as a 14 year veteran in the wrestling fandom.  The overall dialogue was an example of American imperialism and without a little or too much propaganda (while having the basic understanding of American imperialism), it exposed the very dated nature of the "America vs foreign heel" storyline.  Let's move on to the positives. Miro's booking in recent months has been exc...
