The 5 News (Mid) Week: AEW Dynamite Cutting To AN HOUR!?

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. 

An Update On Becky Lynch's Injury.

Becky gave an update on her shoulder injury in a livestream on Instagram (from WrestlingInc):

"I feel like I've gotten much more mobility in it [her shoulder], When it happened, it was so painful that I was, like, 'Oh no, I'm gonna be out for a long, long time.' But now, it's healing up real quick. I'm feeling strong, I'm feeling good. So, I'm hoping it won't be much time at all." 

Here's hoping! 

AEW Dynamite Cutting To AN HOUR!? 

As a guy currently writing a whole college research paper, creating multiple short clips for the podcast (hit that 5 stars you dumb sons of b*tches) and dealing with work, this has to be the most excellent news I've read all day. 

Unfortunately for folks like myself that are killing themselves in the name of "productivity", this isn't true because everyone's favourite, Davey Boy Meltzer said so (as well as Wrestlingnews.co if you believe them). 

By the way, the rumour doesn't make any sense considering (if I'm not mistaken), that more hours means more advertisements means more of the dollari dos. 

DDP Supposed To Be In Ric Flair's LAST MATCH!? 

As if the news couldn't get even better, Diamond Dallas Page revealed on the DDP Snake Pit Podcast that Conrad Thompson approached him to participate in Ric Flair's "last match" but DDP was like everybody after hearing this and said, "Nah, I'm good". 

Smart man. 

Brief Thoughts On Smackdown Yesterday. 

Smackdown was (since Triple H took over as head of creative) really good. The Montreal crowd was, by far, the highlight of the episode. Seeing them chanting for Sami Zayn made me pray TO ALLAH that he turns babyface soon. 

Will his relationship with Roman Reign be the catalyst of said babyface turn? 

FIND OUT ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF DRAGON SMARK BALLS Z! 

And Monday Night RAW too I guess. 

Hey look, Monday Nights are fun again and it's weird for me to say this considering that I've shat all over this program since Braun Strowman had hair. 

Triple H bringing back the old Kevin Owens we know and love is such a needed breath of fresh air considering that he's been portrayed as a generic "chicken-sh*t" heel throughout most of his main roster run (the thing the H man is also doing with Shayna Baszler). 

Also, F YES. JOHNNY WRESTLING IS BACK! 


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

The 5 News Week: WWE Backstage. Cancelled Or Nah?, Liv Morgan's Re-Debut Was Supposed To Be Different!?

I'm back on my BS because it's The 5 News Week where I report on the 5 major or minor news of the week hence the name "T he 5 News Week".  Sorry for the week of absence. I took a week off of social media (except YouTube) due to the sadness I felt when reading those brave women and men tell their stories about the awful, terrible experiences they've had after their interactions with notable people in the industry.  It made me question my fandom and whether I should be in the industry (wrestling media-wise) knowing that they are asshats that will take an advantage on people for no reason other than more power and control.  This week proves that the business needs to wash all the old tropes that make it harder for people to express what's really going on especially when it pertains  to serious issues like sexual assault, racism, sexism etc.  I'm hoping that those stories will lead to a sudden change in every aspect of this profession and other ...

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

The 5 News Week: WWE Ditching Full Script Promos? NXT Superstars Still Expected To Move To The Main Roster?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  NXT Superstars Still Expected To Move To The Main Roster? Although the yellow brand is much better in terms of how they approach storylines subjectively speaking, of course, it is still a developmental brand after all even though it doesn't feel like so.  I'm sure you guys have heard of reports (more specifically from post wrestling ) that a draft is coming next month and the NXT Superstars will still be called on either RAW or Smackdown hence not being treated as a third equal brand.  That is all coming from Dave Meltzer and The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. I really enjoyed when the main roster guys like Tyson Kidd in 2014, Brezzago, Apollo Crews for a bit move to NXT and those moves makes that brand more legit but I and you guys should keep i...
