WWE Musings

How Are You Doing, Enthusiasts?   This week starts off on a dreadful note. As you all know Benjamin Satterley, better known as PAC or Neville for those who never watched AEW, has passed. To say I’m shocked is an absolute understatement and the IWC is reeling . Finally, some details are coming out about his passing and they don’t provide much solace other than it’s looking like it wasn’t a suicide but it does allude to something physiological was not right.   Early reports are stating that Satterley was found unresponsive in a car outside a restaurant outside of Chicago. It sounds like he was found by restaurant employees and the authorities were then called to the scene. From what I can gather, it sounds like EMTs were unable to revive him.   I’m a little surprised he was alone. I’m not sure how late this was and I’ve read that he often travels back to England so, perhaps this is his own after-show ritual. It just paints a more realistic picture. Never forget ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the weekend. Well, most of us know that this weekend is essentially for AEW as their All Out PPV is set for this Saturday. Meanwhile, WWE will be placing the final pieces for Money in the Bank down for the next couple of weeks. There’s not anything too exciting going on. A few talking points here and there so this post shouldn’t go for too long. Let’s get into it so we can get to our own pursuits.   We’re going to start in the rogue city-state of MLW this time around. Hearing that they finally got a TV deal with Tubi, I decided to check it out. It’s only an hour after all. It’s definitely low-rent programming but personally, I still like their content more than AEW’s. Something about the no-frills, outcast sensibility resonates with me. This week’s standouts came from the 日本人女たち called ヘト (H.A.T.E.) if I heard them right. 全部は日本語で , でも面白かったです。 They’re charismatic and mean. What else could you ask for? Shotzi helped introduce th...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to another week. Well, it’s fairly quiet on the wrestling front at the moment so this should be a short post. But it does appear that the future should provide quite a bit to chat about 😉 Let’s just take it one day at a time.   Over in the Realm of AEW, the Riders of Death had another big night. Our Man Jon Moxley had main event duty while PAC tried on a more concentrated version of his persona. Seems like the masses don’t mind this particular focus.   PAC faced a guy from Alabama by the name of Adam Priest who put up a decent fight. They’re both stocky gentlemen so, at a glance it appeared well matched. Priest did what he could but it seemed pretty clear that PAC is angling for the next level which is fine. He’s got the respect and the skill to back it up so, you’ll hear no complaints from me. PAC got the job done and then it was up to fellow Rider, Daniel Garcia.   Not surprisingly, Garcia was not so lucky as...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! It’s not a particularly good one for me, just mixing up the greetings. The Wrestling World has a few grumblings but nothing is rattling the windows, so to speak but I got some stuff I can talk about so let’s get into to it. Shouldn’t take up too much of your time.   So, in the Realm of AEW, I would say that the future is coinciding with The Future if I’m reading things right. The match/segment order seemed to focus on the key players. The opener had Papa Christian and Uncle Edge in action. They should initiate Strike 2 when it’s time. Then Jon Moxley took a moment to speak to Will Ospreay in monologue in a backstage promo flanked by both PAC and Gabe “The Hooligan” Kidd. Nice use of vocab words, shall I say. Told ya he’s smarter than he looks.   The promo in itself was “telling” in a few ways. I appreciate how Mox is questioning whether Ospreay is really ready for the Big Time. He’s got points for a style that has a...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to a new week! So, there’s not that much going on in the Wrestling World but there are a few points that grabbed my interest so, we’ll chat a little about that but this shouldn’t go on for too long. Not much going on after all. In any case, let’s get into it.   In the Realm of AEW, last week’s Collision had plenty of Riders of Death action. Jon Moxley roughed up a gutsy Mike “Speedball” Bailey. The Dogs borrowed PAC to take out the Bang Bang Gang and Daniel Garcia finally picked up a W in the realm’s Memorial Battle Royale for Andy “The Butcher” Williams.   However, what stuck out was the “pep talk” Mox gave Clark “Pantene ProV” Connors. Connors has great hair, so far that’s the most that I’ve noticed of him but he runs with The Dogs and had some questions as to why Gabe “The Hooligan” Kidd is taking orders from Mox. Is he a Dog or a Rider? Well, Mox made it clear it doesn’t matter what he is. People came here to see a s...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the weekend! So, there are a few things we can chat about tonight. I’ll admit they primarily concern the Realm of AEW but there’ll be some spillover into the WWE Universe. Nothing too shocking, just my take as usual but I could get a little carried away so, if you got other things you want to do, you may want to circle back. It’s my blog after all, so I’m not gonna hold back. Ready? Here we go.   In the realm, we’re seeing how the future will take shape but first a couple tributes were the focal points for this week’s Dynamite. I heard that this show was going to be a tribute show for Rebel Heart initially. She’s a lady wrestler who is stricken with ALS , but I don’t know much about her. I was shocked to see that the disease has already done a number on the poor dear. She’s wheelchair bound and is losing the ability to speak. My heart goes out to her. I can see it’s a hard disease to watch someone suffer through, especially if...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to a new week! Most of us in the States have today off so I hope this is a leisurely start for you if that is your lot. If not, I hope this week is a good one for you. Life carries on as you can see.   It’s relatively quiet in the Wrestling World as it has suffered a loss in the passing of “The Butcher” real name Andy Williams. I only knew of him so I don’t have any real words to say outside of offering condolences. I think his passing resonates more given he suffered the fatal medical emergency at a show. It reminds us that these Titans are mortal and that none of us are guaranteed anything in this world. Our next breath can be our last so proceed with some respect and consideration. Get those health check-ups as well. Prevent the tragedy if at all possible.   As for this weekend’s action, it was subdued I would say. AEW’s Collision was pre-recorded and so it wasn’t directly affected. There’s not much to report on it ot...
