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 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...

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...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Is Here, A Fantastic TNT Championship Match.

AEW’s New Year’s Smash night 2 is not a bad show. However, it wasn’t enough to be the better show of the night because NXT DELIVERED in my opinion. The main reason?  Well, it was, of course, the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. NXT’s (or WWE for that matter) biggest weakness is their tag team division so It’s nice to see some showcase of diverse teams.  I’m hoping they keep that momentum after the tournament but we shall see.  some images via WWE.com NXT   Highlights.  A Possible Finn Balor vs Pete Dunne Bout!?  The reason why I wrote that headline above is that they had a bit of verbal interaction in the segment following the LeRae and Blackheart match which led to a brawl between Balor, Dunne, Lorcan and Burch, Kylie O'Reilly and his UE members.  I'm not gonna lie, if this is where Finn's championship goes from here, I'm all in.  Grizzled Young Veterans vs Ever-Rise. Dusty Tag Team Classic Tournament. The Grizzled Young Veterans advanced to t...
