Wrestling Musings on Wax

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the weekend! Well, there have been more eventful weeks but that doesn’t mean we don’t have something to talk about. We got a few things we can go over. I can’t say how long I’ll be but I’ll try to keep to the point. I know everyone has other things they’d rather do. Let’s dive in.   In the Realm of AEW it appears some “sea changes” have been put into effect. Most notably, the Face Turn for the Riders of Death looks to be official. After Our Man Jon Moxley had a respectable tussle with Roderick Strong, the tides started to turn. Having defeated Strong, Mox started to make his exit, making it clear that Strong put a dent in him along with all the other matches starting to catch up as the aches and pains are getting harder to ignore. With Strong still in the ring, the supposed allies in The Dogs swarm in and jump Strong. Mox gets himself back in the ring to basically go WTF and the Dogs give him some too.   Then Gabe “The...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It was a fairly eventful weekend at least for the Realm of AEW. There are some things I’d like to chat about but for the most part this should be a straightforward post. Shouldn’t ramble on for too long but that’s why to do this sectionally. You can skip bits if you wish 😉   Let’s do a quick trip through the rogue City-State of MLW. I saw Shotzi Blackheart retain her Women’s Championship over Lady Frost which confused me a bit ‘cause I heard she signed with TNA. Can she work both? MLW seems kinda open-ended like that and TNA knows it doesn’t pay the big bucks so I wouldn’t be surprised if they let their wrestlers hustle. Honorable mention to the Coffeys as well. They’re some mean, no-nonsense Scots.   Over in the realm, the big deal was WrestleDream and it appears that Our Man Jon Moxley stole the show as only he could. This was prefaced with word coming out on the cause of death for the dearly departed Benjamin Satterley aka PA...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! It’s a windy one in my neck of the woods. Hope yours is going splendidly. So, there are some things we can talk about in the Wrestling World. Not that much, so I shouldn’t strain your eyes but I’ll try not to ramble too much. I know we all have other things we’d rather be doing.   As usual, we’ll start in the Realm of AEW. They’re gearing up for their WrestleDream PPV tomorrow so they combined Dynamite and Collision into one supershow as they tend to do to give everyone a chance to rest up. Naturally, I keep an eye on The Future but respectfully simply observe for the future for the time being. What I saw was quite promising.   As those familiar with the goings-on in the realm, Jon Moxley is set to face Big Mean Mark Davis. Though the story of his nickname “Dunkzilla” makes sense by the look of him, I’m going to refer to him as someone with no idea of the backstory ‘cause that’s essentially who I am.   I d...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   How’d you like Money in the Bank? Yeah, it wasn’t the most exciting PPV but it was cleanly executed, for the most part, I’ll give them that. There have been worse so, I’m not going to harp on it too much but I can understand the general chatter of it being “subpar” but only in its lack of creativity. I’ll get into that later. It was a sort of eventful weekend so, let’s have the discussion. I agree with some of the sentiments out there but not all.   We’ll start off in the Independent Wilderness as I was introduced to the village of House of Glory (HOG) Wrestling this weekend. It popped up in my feed. Mainly due to Tommaso Ciampa taking a little break from AEW to main event counter to this Charles Mason fellow. Not sure the kids know what the moniker references but do your research. The real dude was…something. I can see why Mason aligns himself with such company, you could definitely say he plays “psychopathic”.   Naturally, I wa...

Happy Money in the Bank, Enthusiasts! It’s kind of a weird time so, how to approach this is a little lost on me so, I’m just gonna keep it simple. That’s what you’re supposed to do, right? I’ll be honest. I’m only looking at the Money in the Bank Matches but I’ll give Honorable Mention to Roman Reigns and LA Knight. They get opening duties and that alone speaks volumes. Personally, I’m thinking it gets DQ’d somehow. I hope Knight at least gets some respectable time in. Though, he’s at the end of career, doesn’t mean he can’t be a contender. However, would he actually be?  It’s possible that Knight can win but it’d have to be a fair fight. In that case, I don’t mind interference. We can safely assume this game is rigged. So, how does Knight save face? I’m expecting interference from someone like Solo Sikoa. He could be so about overtaking Roman Reigns, he loses the plot. Yeah, Reigns “saved him” but maybe he likes how 946 rolls? Ain’t nobody safe! Maybe that’s what it takes to take ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! This wasn’t a bad week for me but it’s just nice to have a couple days to relax. Well, this weekend will have me occupied but at least not with the usual work. As for the Wrestling World, I would say it was a fairly quiet week. Nothing dropped my jaw and given the recent happenings, I kinda appreciate it. That said, this post should be to the point so, I won’t keep you long.   We’ll start in the Realm of AEW who generally went on a field trip this week. They took themselves to France and got to experience the joy that is the French Crowd. Per usual, my focus was on the Riders of Death. Though I am not going to speak directly on The Future for the rest of this month, that doesn’t mean I’m not monitoring its progress.   I noticed that PAC has been “canonized” as they appear to have started to initiate their entrances by placing a chair and towel in his honor. Jon Moxley even went so far as to perform a brief prayer be...
