My Week – Week ending 5th May 2019
@BiekoDaniel
My week consisted of just a few things
Ilya Dragunov joining NXT is huge, I like his style, and some of the stuff he did WxW was great and a potential feud with WALTER would be mouthwatering.
I was so stoked to see KUSHIDA make his debut in NXT in an OK out with Kassius Ohno, I just hope they do better with him than they did with Hideo Itami.
Marty Scurll & Nick Aldis match at the Crockett Cup is a decent match if you haven’t seen it.
The fallout is yet to be seen from what the Briscoes did at the Crockett Cup, as brilliant as it was, I think we all know a receipt is coming from the NWA.
And I know it maybe a little old now but if you haven’t seen it, I’d recommend the OMEGA MAN documentary, only an hour long but it shows how the ‘best bout machine’ Kenny Omega became just that and how much kayfabe is protected in Japan, a good watch.

I’ve been absent from My Week for a little while, mostly because there just wasn’t a whole lot going on with me. This week, however, I started doing of Sheamus’s workouts with Celtic Warrior Workouts and perusing the routines of John Cena, Charlotte Flair, Nikki Bella, and Braun Strowman. It’s been a lot of fun (and pain) but I’m glad to be able to mix it up in my workouts. I’ve promised myself no more wrestling shirts until I drop some inches. Pray for me because of course this is when everyone is coming out with new stuff!
We celebrated the newest holiday on the Wrestling Community: Scott Steiner Math Day. That gem of a promo never gets old; it’s right up there with the “Woo Off” between Jay Lethal and Ric Flair.
Also, this week, Jon Moxley dropped a preview video and I am very excited to see where he’s going to be and what he’s going to do. I fell in love with Mox before he transitioned into being Dean Ambrose; I’m pretty sure I can find my old vest and shirt. I’ve gotten into Renee Young’s podcast too; I find it amusing and relaxing.

Hasn’t it
been a dull WWE week?
I didn’t make it to the end of Raw and I only skimmed through Smackdown. I
managed just over half of NXT UK and got fed up of that too.
So once again I’m sat wondering what’s going wrong with the product. Part of me
thinks Wrestlemania was so hyped and anything afterwards was going to be anti-climactic.
The other part of me thinks WWE are purposefully coasting, aligning their chess
pieces with their eyes on two things. The Saudi show where the big bucks are made
and the new TV deal coming in 6 months.
I mentioned in a previous article that I expected the “top talent” to
move between brands and with Roman Reigns rumored to be on Raw this week, I
feel this even more likely.
My heart breaks for Matt and Jeff Hardy. I’ve actually lost count of the number
of times my heart has broken for Jeff Hardy. We just got them back as a team
and in a lackluster tag team division, Smackdown is going to miss them
terribly. And what about Matt? Be prepared for minimal TV times and
questionable booking at best.
The Jon Moxley video has called quite a stir. Word is that WWE helped him pull
that video together with the intention of him going into the indy circuit for a
couple of years. The desired outcome is that he’ll rediscover himself and
return to WWE at a future date as Jon Moxley. Even though he’s left WWE, you
can’t help but feel they still have a hold on him and are they in fact using
him to plug the ever-expanding gap between WWE and the indy wrestling scene?
It’s still very quiet on the Daniel Bryan front. I’m concerned. I’m very
concerned.
Ronda Rousey appears to be recovering from surgery on her hand. Will she come
back to WWE? Who knows? Are they missing her? Maybe, I’ve not really thought
about it.
Did you know the main event of Money in the Bank will air at the same time as
the Game of Thrones finale? Can the prospect of AJ Styles v Seth Rollins keep
the audience engaged till the end or will WWE see their numbers drop off as their
viewers jump to find out who will sit on the iron throne?
