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.

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
