Netflix Welcomes RAW!...

Image
How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Did you have a nice weekend? My weekend was purposeful. Got some things done, watched a few movies. It was nice in it’s simplicity. Now, we’re back in the swing of things. New month, new year, new way to watch RAW , among other things. Ready to talk about it? Let’s get to it. First, we’ll stop by the Realm of AEW courtesy of New Japan as Kenny Omega made his return to the ring this past weekend. As you may remember, he’s been out for about a year with an acute case of diverticulitis but appears to have recovered and is back to doing his thing. He’s got plans to reestablish himself back in the AEW fold which should be interesting seeing how things are going. I’m curious to see how he figures and with who. All in all, it’s good to see him healthy. Welcome back! In the WWE Universe, we all know this is the big Netflix debut of RAW and so talk has been mostly about what to expect. From what I’ve been seeing, we should have a more leisurely time of enjoying the...

SmackDown Welcomes 2025 with 3 Hours...

Image
Happy New Year, Enthusiasts!   Ready for a new year in the Wrestling World? I wouldn’t say it’s my life but it’s definitely an important pastime for me. 2025 is a 9 Year for you numerologists out there so, this should be a year of completion for a few things. As you can see, RAW will be on Netflix this year, officially making it a part of the modern era and tonight SmackDown will commemorate being 3 hours for the foreseeable future. And so, minor but as you can see, it more or less illustrates my point. Things won’t be the same in some areas this year. We’ll see how that plays out overall.   As for tonight’s post, we’ll start over in the Realm of AEW. With Adam Copeland/Uncle Edge back in the mix, I feel that things can be left to him to steer for a little while, especially since he can tout an Emmy Nomination at present. Something that this sort never seriously hope to achieve so, there’s some clout for everyone to chew on. With his insight at their disposal the Deat...

RAW Has One Last Hurrah on Cable TV...

Image
  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Getting ready for New Year’s Eve? I’m surrounded by family so, it’s not going to get that nuts but it’s the first time in a long time I've celebrated with them. We’re usually elsewhere so, I’ll make the most of being together.  As for the Wrestling World, there are a few things to talk about. Should give us a decent post. Ready to get into it? Here we go. So, in the Realm of AEW Edge/Adam Copeland made his triumphant return and as expected he set his sights on Jon Moxley and the Death Riders. I knew Copeland would be all over him. I didn’t even remember that he has no patience for the SHIELD in general. Now, Uncle Edge looks about as good as he can but we can’t forget that he’s pushing 600 years old. Though FTR have his back, will he be able to hold up and make a difference? Hard to say but we got a front runner for who may go get the taser to handle this. Things should remain palatable with Uncle Edge back in the mix. He’s got enough TV experien...

SmackDown Helps Us Prep for New Year's....

Image
  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Hope your Christmas went well if you celebrate. For all others, a Happy New Year to you. I hope you’re enjoying Winter or Summer if you're in the Southern Hemisphere. I’ve been light on the Wrestling World due to all the festivities and family bonding. Yet, there are a couple things we can chat about. Are you up for it? Let’s get into it. So, WWE Management is supposedly kicking around some ideas for matches for John Cena and Logan Paul came up as a possible opponent. Word is that no one likes the idea of this at WrestleMania ‘cause that’s a sucky way to go out. Personally, I don’t mind the idea of Cena vs. Paul but it doesn’t need to be at Mania. It doesn’t even have to be on a PPV. I would be fine with it at a Fallout show. And I’d like to see Cena get the best of him but due to being a seasoned veteran. Not because of any physical prowess or what have you. He should just “out wrestle” Paul. Paul can talk his shit and all that. Lean on Cena being ol...

RAW Bids Us a Merry Christmas!....

Image
  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s a cold one in Southern California but nothing that those used to snow couldn’t handle. As for the Wrestling World, there’s some stuff going on but what caught my eye is more administrative. Some insight on how 2025 is gonna go. Are you up for a brief discussion? Let’s see where it goes.   We’ll stay in the WWE Universe for now as AEW’s stuff appears to be percolating. There’s an “update” on Brock Lesnar’s status going around making it seem like he’s on an unofficial retirement. Given the dirt that came up on him, it’s not surprising. You see how everyone is getting theirs for past unsavory behavior. I think he would have gotten more clemency if he was a more approachable person. His rep, in general, isn’t the best so, when dirt comes out, it’s easy to close the book on him. I don’t really think he’s needed anymore, to be honest. There was a time he served a purpose but now that WWE is finding a more engaging stride, Lesnar can...

SmackDown Wishes us a Happy Holiday & Has Some Saturday Main Event Fallout....

Image
  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?  Enjoying the calm before Christmas? For the stateside readers, how do you like the rise in egg prices again 🙃 I saw one of those 60-egg crates going for about $40 🤯 Yup, just another day in paradise.  As for the Wrestling World, there’s quite a bit to chat about today. A lot going on with the Holidays and such along with anticipation for the new year. Shall we break it down? Let’s. We'll stop at the Realm of AEW for a bit since word spread of the  banger Will Osprey and Darby Allin put on this past Wednesday at AEW’s Continental Classic. So, I had to sit down and take a look. I have to concur, it was a fine a match. Allin is definitely growing on me. I can’t see him working outside of AEW, due to his size, but he’s got moxie. Gotta give it to him. He was pulling off very slick moves against Osprey. Just putting that lean frame to full use.  Osprey seemed to be going with the flow more than usual, I’ll give him that. It was defin...

Saturday Night: Main Event (1) - RAW Fallout...

Image
How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Welcome to a new week. So, there’s quite a bit in motion/going on. I would say it was a successful weekend for WWE and AEW seems 2 making their stuff work. Shall we have a chat about it? Let’s… First up, we’ll stop in the Realm of AEW as we see Jon Moxley and Company “dial it down” a bit and decide to jump/semi-kidnap FTR. See, that’s what I’m talking about. Have some fun. Get crazy! Give us something to watch. Not sure what the endgame is exactly, but at this point, there’s time to flesh it out. I’ll be sure to check out this “epic” Fatal-4-Way getting set-up once it’s filed away. Keep things simple for now and just go out, get nuts and have fun. If it entertains, it entertains. Don’t overthink it. Most of us aren’t that invested but we will bitch if we’re not entertained. In the WWE Universe, there are a few points of discussion. The Saturday Night: Main Event went off without a hitch and it was a fine night of wrestling. No real upsets but as we all kno...

Saturday Night: Main Event - Matches of Interest

Image
How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Here’s to the reboot of Saturday Night: Main Event! I have no recollection of the original but I hear that there will be a lot of nods 2 the old school presentation. I have no problem with it. Kinda looking forward to it, even though I think the 80s was the tackiest decade ever. Taste was an afterthought. I hated every second of it but, it wasn’t all bad. I’ll accept the nostalgia.   Since this is like a free PPV, I’ll have Matches of Interest, but I’ll keep it short. It’s only a 2-hour show. The first one I’m looking at is Sami Zayn vs. Drew McIntyre. I could look at the Kevin Owens vs. Cody Rhodes but that doesn’t have the stakes that Zayn vs. McIntyre does. In this case, McIntyre needs the win.   McIntyre is faux shooting interviews and moping around. He’s method acting himself and I like it. There was something missing and maybe going back home helped address it, but whatever it is, it’s working and I think he should just le...

SmackDown Hosts the Dress Rehearsal for Saturday Night Main Event...

Image
How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Enjoying your Friday? I hope so. I have some self-care plans for the weekend so, why not start now. As for the Wrestling World, there are some things we can chat about. Not much has me captivated but we can have a decent conversation nonetheless. Are you up for it? Let’s do it. First, we’ll take a brief look at the Realm of AEW to see how Jon Moxley and crew took last week’s notes. Well, this week’s efforts were definitely more entertaining, I’ll give ‘em that. Mox was slipping into…familiar tones if I may say. All I’ll add is remember the timing. Though I love to see Dean Ambrose break through, I hope Mox paces himself.  If something “epic” is in the works, not popping off too soon is critical. Unless, he manages to make that part of the whole thing. Not impossible but this is new territory. Best not to get too experimental. But do have fun and push boundaries. What I saw was fun but it could lead to “dissension”. Only go there if the story is fleshed ...

RAW Clears the Decks for the Main Event...

Image
How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Having a fair Monday? Mine is pretty chill, to be honest. Usually a lot more going on but I’m not complaining. As for the Wrestling World, there are some things going on. Nothing to set hair on fire but enough to have a decent chat. You up for it? All right, here it goes. In the Realm of AEW, the Death Riders seem to be having a little problem with getting taken seriously. I saw Jon Moxley and company try to “poison” Orange Cassidy with Listerine and I can see why people are rolling their eyes. This is why I was suggesting things like sending Darby Allin to “Abu Dhabi”. Orange Cassidy can get boxed up and sent off instead if they like. It could be a running bit that no one can get a hold of him for a week or 2 and then he can surprise at the PPV or crash one of the Go-Home Shows looking like hell ‘cause he had to “hitchhike” his way back to the States. They can even dramatize his trials for a promo or something. The whole thing is ridiculous so they might ...
