A Few Thoughts On: CM PUNK Going ALL OUT At The SCRUM!?

To all my 4 and a half viewers, remember when I said that was going to be consistent with the content considering that I posted 4 articles in July but then it turns out that I posted 3 articles in the month of August? 

Well, let's just pretend it didn't happen (like WWE's continuity before Vinnie Mac left). 

Since both shows were happening around the same time, I figured that I'll give you my brief thoughts on WWE clashing at a Welsh castle as well as AEW going all out once again in Chicago (I know it's not technically Chicago so do not Ben Sharpio outta this, YOU GEEK). 

WWE Clash At The Castle. 

WWE's first main roster UK PPV since the fall of nu metal and it rocked hard man (get it? Rocked? Nu metal? *sigh* maybe that's why I've written 3 articles). 

Pretty much every single match stole the show. 

The 6 woman tag match is exactly what AEW needs right now for their women's division and it's a sense of adrenaline and overall momentum. 

Gunther and Sheamus is what I expected this bout to be, which is big meaty men slapping meat. 

Dominik finally stood up to Rey Mysterio presumably because the kid realizes that Eddie Guerrero is his real Papi. 

Seth Rollins legit stomped Riddle's b**** a** not once but twice. 

While Drew McIntyre's broken dreams entrance was rad, it wasn't enough to end Roman Reigns' championship reign which feels like it lasted longer than Supernatural. 

Maybe they could build a storyline where Sami Zayn wins the Royal Rumble, building further tension between Zayn and Roman Reigns (as well as the entire bloodline) that'll lead to a Wrestlemania main event where he finally turns babyface? 

A man can only dream. 

Also, no surprise, World's Collide was really good. 

AEW All Out 2022. 

AEW's PPVs may be longer than a typical YouTube essay video but it's at least okay. 

In short, I didn't love it or hate it. 

The Acclaimed’s Max Caster referencing Lizzo like every reactionary white dude with a podcast that nobody listens to (oh, like yours Omar?). Nevertheless, the world tag title match was pretty rad and by far, my match of the night. 

That post-show scrum was insane, to say the least. First off, CM Punk having a deep voice that rivals Pop Smoke (rip) on top of that bizarre, made his speech all the more awkward. 

What's funny about all of this is I couldn't find a single article (whether from reliable sources such as F4Wonline or Fightful) stating that Punk made an attempt to fire his former BFF (yuck Omar, that was cringe) Colt Cabana.

So, congratulations CM Punk for giving MJF a Triple H circa 2002 like babyface pop. 

Speaking of people going off, Tony Khan was like, "I got more money than that old white wrestling promoter from the 70s/80s" and guys, what do you expect? He's a billionaire. 

So yeah, yay to the Elite guys?

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

The 5 News Week: There Was Supposed To Be A New Nation Of Domination Stable!?

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. Why Did The Sasha Banks And Asuka Match Have A Head Scratching Ending? The boss and the empress of tomorrow had a match of the night at Extreme Rules this past Sunday but the ending is a different story.  So, why did an over-complicated type of an ending like this was written into the PPV?  Well, good old Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez stated on Wrestling Observer Radio (From Cagesideseats ) that the finish was layed off like that so that the rematch (which was announced on the recent episode of Monday) will happen.  The hope for that is to "pop a number" in the ratings.  In other words, it was a reported marketing decision (no f'ing sh*t, Omar). Hey, at least we're getting a rematch, right?  Mike Bennett On Contemplating Leaving Pro...

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...
