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: An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.

  WE'RE BACK LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND NB! Now, what did I miss from the several week hiatus?  *Scrolls down at the news feed* a billionaire said something stupid. Monday Night RAW is still duh and uninspired. Mass release of talent by WWE.  So……. Same old sh*t? Figures.  For those unaware (pretty much everybody), The 5 News Week is where I showcase 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have the time to do separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 News Week.  An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.  I kick things off with an interview from a guy that I'm hoping (as a musician) appreciates Brie Bella's theme song because my music tastes suck, musician John Kiernan.  If the name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you’re listening to a podcast that loves shouting out the names John “loose cannon” Lopez and ‘Beast Mode” Brock Joseph at the beginning.  Kiernan has composed and straight-up killed it in the pro wrestling musi...

WWE Backlash 2020 | A Coherent Review.

Overall, a decent PPV that was highlighted by a few good matches and one greatest match (yea, yea, the pun is worn out already but I just had to).  As a tradition on this site, I've not seen the pre-show match, however, I've heard it was solid.  Bayley And Sasha Banks vs Alexa Bliss And Nikki Cross vs The IIconics For The Women's Tag Team Championship.  A decent opening match of the evening. Peyton Royce did a unique crossbody onto every participant in the match.  Moments later, Royce and Billie Kay did their double team move on Sasha Banks but you know who also did a double team move?  Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss with a double team DDT on Peyton Royce.  As soon as Bliss hits the Twisted Bliss on Peyton Royce, Sasha Banks quickly rolled Alexa up for the victory and retained dos straps.  The tag team championship reign of the golden role models continues (No sh*t, Omar). Also, I wanna briefly speak on the Alexa Bliss situation....

Jim Cornette's Opinion On WWE's Deal With FOX.

Jim Cornette recently appeared on Talk Is Jericho about the state of wrestling ( Click here to listen and download the whole thing, it's really good) and talked about a number of topics but the interesting thing about this discussion is his opinion on WWE's deal with FOX. Here's what he had to say (shout out to WrestleZone for the transcript):  " Vince just got $2 billion for a TV deal. People are looking at All In, the resurgence of New Japan, and all that, but that’s going to be the most important thing. Now people with platforms are interested in wrestling again.  There’s a lot of money in wrestling again. For a while ratings were meh, and they still are, but at the same point $2 billion, how can you argue with that? In 2011, when Sinclair Broadcasting bought Ring of Honor it instantly became the second most watched television program because it was on 60 local stations.  That was still a wide gap from WWE, and IMPACT has gone in the other direction becaus...
