WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   A Merry Monday to you! So, there’s not much to speak of so far. There are a few continuations from last week but it’s generally a slow wrestling news day so, this should be short but we’ll see. I know I can start to ramble. Given that, shall we just get to it? Let’s dive in.   The Realm of AEW seems to be doing fine as they’re preparing for their Blood & Guts event that’s to be held this week. It looks like Jon Moxley will have to watch from the sidelines as who I’ve been playfully calling “Krista’s Dad” aka Roderick Strong took him out with some help from Mox’s new bane of existence, Darby Allin.   Strong gets the monicker because he looks like someone’s dad. I wouldn’t look at him and say he’s a wrestler, but Krista’s Dad for sure 😉 I don’t know if he has kids but he has that look certainly. He’s a solid wrestler though, I’ve noticed.   This turn of events is likely to result in some retribution so, Wednesday Nig...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Enjoying this Friday? Getting used to the time change, if it applies? Can’t say this is the most exciting end of the week but some beneficial changes are pending on the horizon for me so, can’t really complain.   As for the Wrestling World, there are a few things going on but we’ll only touch on one issue because I keep seeing it pop up but besides that, it should be a short post. So, without further ado, let’s get to it.   As many of you may have already heard, Ridge Holland now going by his real name, Luke Menzies, has got himself fired from WWE. Word is that he bad-mouthed them on social media and the response was to be expected. Unfortunately for him, the timing couldn’t be worse. On top of that, he suffered an injury working a TNA show and may have to get neck fusion surgery. Worst case, the man is out of action for about 2 years with a family to feed and house.   The dire circumstances have forced Menzies to resort...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Getting through another Monday? That’s me for sure. Well, we got a couple things to chat about so shouldn’t be that long of a post but we’ll see where we end up. Ready to get into it? Here we go.   The Saturday Night: Main Event has come and gone and it was pretty standard I would say, like a polished weekly show though some would say it could have been cleaner, especially when it came to Jey Uso. I’ll just chalk that up to him staying in character.   He does seem poised for a Heel Turn.   I would say this show was a clear demonstration of “displaying realism” as none of the matches were stellar but they were hard-fought and do progress the general storylines in play. Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes opened and many took to social media to protest the treatment of McIntyre. When can the guy get a break was the general consensus.   Personally, I feel him swinging and missing again is par for the course. That’s a big pa...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts! It’s another Saturday Night: Main Event and I’m not sure how to really feel about it. The real talking point is how I had to reconfigure my streaming services to accommodate. That was a pain but who knows. I got myself some deals and may be able to further streamline so, perhaps it’s a strange necessary evil.  Regardless, we are all gathered here tonight to see how a few Championships fare. Gotta keep things going. Can’t just let the Titles sit to gather dust. Out of them all, I’m looking more at the Triple Threat Match for the Intercontinental Championship. We’ve got Penta (aka Lucha-Mitsu) and Rusev gunning for Dominik Mysterio. Dom has proven he’ll bend the rules so, what clever ways will he manage to retain this time? Or will we get a shocker? I don’t mind either way. Though Dom is improving by the day, he’s not someone I need to see wrestle. He’s fun, though. I don’t mind his matches but I doubt he ever main events, if you know what I mean....

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday and Halloween! Well, there still isn’t much going on in the Wrestling World so this should be another short post. Besides, I’m sure many of you have plans so I won’t keep you. Let’s just get to the chat.   So, I checked in on the Realm of AEW to see how the Future was progressing and it appears someone over there agrees with my take on Darby Allin. He was a lot more “forceful” on Dynamite this week. He was taking it to people and using chairs and whatnot to put a dent in ‘em. That’s what I’m talking about 😉 He’s gotta do something to stay afloat out there. I don’t mind him making it clear he means business. To tailor a Shakespeare quote, “Be he but little, he is fierce!”. I’m down.   It also appears that the Road to the Future is also getting paved as The Riders of Death appear to be branching out. I saw that Marina Shafir is set to partner up with the imposing Megan Bayne. With the headdress gear Bayne has been s...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   A Merry Monday to you. So, there’s not much going on in the Wrestling World at the moment so this will be a short post. It happens from time to time. What are you gonna do? Shall we just dive in? Here we go.   Well, the only thing kind of going around is speculation of AJ Lee returning to action after her re-debut. There were advertisements with her for RAW on November 17 th but word is that’s been scrapped so who knows.   Given how well-received she was, I can understand her waiting for something worth suiting back up for. With Lord Seth Rollins out, it may be a good time to start some shit with Lady Becky Lynch. She may be tapped to help fill the void. There’s also potential with both Roxanne Perez and Giulia with them both known for being “crazy” too. There’s stuff to do, for sure. Creative just has to flesh some stuff out. Can’t waste the lady’s time 😉   With that, let’s just get to tonight’s business as tonight’s...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s another Friday and I hope it’s a good one for you. There’s not much to report in the Wrestling World and it’s pretty quiet in the WWE Universe so, it should be a short post for the most part but there is some Fallout in the Realm of AEW so, we’ll talk a little about that but that’s about it. Ready to hash it out? Let’s go.   It was business as usual in the Realm of AEW for as much as I could tell. Darby Allin appears emboldened having won the “I Quit” Match and Jon Moxley, well…there appears to be some “regrets”. This disappointment seemed to spill out during his match with Kyle O’Reilly. Having shown that he is human, O’Reilly was not intimidated and was able to lock Moxley up enough to make him feel the only recourse was to take out the referee rather than tap. The brazen act caused the benches to clear and to me, that was the first clear indication of what is to come. My friends, the Future has Begun.   Expect things to r...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to Monday. Another day, another dollar as They say. We have a couple things to chat about as AEW had their WrestleDream PPV last weekend. The WWE Universe grumblings are minimal in comparison at present though we have some things to kick around. That should keep this post at a decent length so, let’s get into it, shall we? Here we go.   So, the highly anticipated “I Quit” Match between Darby Allin and Jon Moxley closed things out for WrestleDream as it could go for hours and hours given how these 2 were talking. Thankfully, it was about 35 minutes but I would say for the most part it was well-executed. Moxley was honest in how he was going to wear Allin down as he gave him plenty and then let the Death Riders get their hits in. Then he half drowned him in an aquarium before Sting made a cameo to “stop the nonsense” to give Allin the edge and win.   My only notes are that I feel Allin has to do more in these kinds of match...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? A happy Friday to you. Well, there are a couple things we can chat about today but overall, not much has grabbed my attention. That should make for a short post, but we’ll see. Ready to break the tidbits down? Let’s get to it. Over in the Realm of AEW it does appear that we are getting some foreshadowing for the Future. I have to say that I was kinda proud of the vignette between Darby Allin and Jon Moxley. They’ve come such a long way and the potential for the Future seems confirmed. It’s quite exciting. On top of that, Allin has plenty to contemplate when going into an “I Quit” Match with Mox, especially if he’s beat to hell before the thing even starts.  All I’ll say is remember what didn’t work. I can appreciate giving this feud some gravitas but ultimately, we as spectators want to have fun. It’s hard to enjoy the thing when it just looks like Allin is getting picked on. Go too far and people’s morals get challenged. That’s why I don’t care for Dea...
