WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Well, my part of Southern California is unscathed by fire but the skies have been tinted with haze for the bulk of the week. There are sections of North LA that are completed torched. It’s as if the Gods did decree it to be stricken from the Earth. Not sure what it means. The hills are always full of brush. The area just doesn’t get enough consistent rain for it to not happen and the winds come through seasonally. People either have to build accordingly or not at all. How things proceed will be very interesting.   In any case, in the Wrestling World we have some interesting movement. There’s enough for a wordy post so, let’s not delay. Let’s get into it.   First, we’ll take a brief stop in the Realm of AEW as the big news is that Malakai/Aleister Black may be open to a WWE return. The rumors of him leaving have been prevalent but not confirmed. I think it’s to make sure it’s a surprise wherever he turns up next. You know I want h...

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...

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...

  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...

  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...

  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...

  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...

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...

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...
