WWE Musings

How Are You Doing, Enthusiasts?   Good, I hope. So, not much to chat about today but I can always find something. Let’s chew some of this proverbial fat.   So, we’re all coming to the forgone conclusion that the main titles will be unified at this year’s WrestleMania. However, rumor has it that they will be split again soon after. What’s floating around is that WWE Management feel that they need 2 champions, one for each brand seeing how they're on different networks. I guess this is a way to appease FOX and NBC brass. Don’t ask me how it goes. I’ll be watching along with you.   Another bit of news that caught my eye is all the talk of Mr. Vince McMahon having a match against Pat McAfee. Right off the bat, this sounds like there will be a huge catch and there will be is what I’m hearing. Well, like with everything they try, it’s on them to make it work. What’s going around is that there are a lot of WrestleMania tickets still available and WWE is doing everyth...

A Good Friday to You, Enthusiasts!   I hope it’s going well. So, there are a couple of things of definite note going on in the wrestling world. Let’s not waste any time and have this little chat.   So, let’s start with the news outside of WWE. It appears Tony Khan, owner of AEW, has a “big announcement” that he’s gonna drop on Wednesday (3/2). One of the rumors is that he acquired Ring of Honor. I can’t even contemplate what that could implicate. Not that it’s bad or anything. ROH wrestlers definitely do it for the love of the game so, that would make AEW even more of an alternative to WWE. Not sure if that improves the quality but the roster is sure to have heart. The implications are interesting to ponder. We’ll see what happens.   As for WWE news, the main headline is that Cesaro left the company. Word is he just let his contract expire. This is unfortunate but most of us would say somewhat inevitable. Cesaro, quite frankly, lacked charisma. He’s a great wo...

Happy President’s Day, Enthusiasts!   How is everyone doing? I have to say I’ve enjoyed this day off. It’s been rejuvenating. So, there’s not much going on in the wrestling world but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to talk about. Let’s chat some, shall we?   So, The Elimination Chamber came and went and it was an okay show. Nothing spectacular but not exactly time wasted either. What was most interesting was what wasn’t planned to happen. Seth Rollins tossing Austin Theory into Bobby Lashley’s pod cause the pod to break and resulted in Lashley getting hurt. He’s now out with a shoulder injury. So, that’s the next chapter when Lashley gets back. He’s got some words for Rollins who sidelined his Title run. That’s one thing they don’t have to worry about.   As a consequence of the unexpected injury, Brock Lesnar took it upon himself to bust out his pod and destroy all for the WWE Title. It will now be him and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Though this has happen...

  Good Morning, Enthusiasts. Hope it’s a good one. I’ll keep this brief because this is already after the fact and I don’t know what to expect really. Doesn’t mean there aren’t some matches I’m curious about. I’ll be catching up later. Got some other business to tend to but should be available to take this all in this evening. In the meantime, here’s what I want to see. The impromptu tag team match of Ronda Rousey & Naomi vs. Charlotte & Sonya DeVille is a match of note mainly due to the stipulation of Rousey fighting with one hand behind her back. The key here is not making this come off as silly. Not sure they do it but that will be what we watch for. Is this an interesting match or just a hackneyed Management idea? We will see. After that, the next match of interest for me is Lita vs. Becky Lynch. Here, we see if Lita still has it, which it looks like she does, and if Lynch can keep it competitive. We know they both can put on a solid match but Lita is no spring chicken....

  How’s Goes It, Enthusiasts? I hope this start to the President’s Day weekend is treating you well. So, I won’t be talking about much ‘cause there isn’t that much going on but we all know the bomb that dropped this week. Let’s get right into it. The not so surprising departure of Cody Rhodes from AEW made waves this week and to be honest, I don’t think this is a bad thing. Remember, we can easily conjecture that the whole reason AEW exists is due to a stark disconnect between Rhodes and WWE. I didn’t blame him because he was doing everything he could to make WWE’s crap work and they still didn’t give him credit for it. I would have bailed too.  Yet, the reality for both sides came out in his doing so. AEW was founded and an alternative wrestling source came into being. Yet, that was just what happened. An alternative wrestling source came into being. Rhodes’ audience response proved what we already knew. He’s a “sports entertainer”, born and bred. Also, WWE has plenty to be ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s Go-Home Week for WWE and we’re getting the final wind up for the Elimination Chamber in Saudi Arabia. There’s a lot of buzz given how the Equal Rights sentiment of women wrestling in the event is gaining social awareness. This is not new but to continue to do so in a land where the rights of women are restricted is always commendable. It’s not as bad as Afghanistan but old traditions are often hard to modernize. It’s one of the few things that WWE has going for it at the moment. Let’s hope the ladies enjoy it.   As for what’s cycling through the grapevine, well Brock Lesnar seems to have captured everyone’s imagination. He was on the Pat McAfee show recently, not sure if that’s why he had to miss his announcing duties but that’s what happened. People are charmed by Lesnar speaking for himself for once and I don’t mind the interest. Some sites bemoan this attention because it tends to highlight the main flaw with WWE and how it pins i...

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts!   I hope it’s been a good one for you. I’m ready for this week to be over. There’s not all that much to chat about but there’s some interesting news floating about. Let’s kick it around a bit, shall we.   So, let’s start with AEW. Word is a lot of 2019 contracts are up soon. AEW will have to make decisions as to whether to let some go or to renew. What’s interesting here is if they get heat for letting contracts expire. WWE was never known for its tact. Will AEW be more gracious as they let some discover new endeavors? We shall see.   Yet, the big AEW acquisition is Keith Lee. I kinda figured since he just got married. Most wouldn’t plan a wedding with no income coming in. Not that he didn’t do well while in WWE but when times are lean, tying the knot often takes a backseat. He had some sort of assurance.   What stuck out to me was that it looks like Lee gained weight. Now, I don’t ever expect him to get ripped or significan...

Happy Monday, Enthusiasts.   Don’t groan. It’s another day and therefore another dollar 😉 There isn’t that much going on but there are a few things worth mentioning. Shall we start the informal chat?   Let’s start off with some happier news as Instagram shows that Mia Yim and Keith Lee finally got married. They had the time and made use. I’m happy for them. They seem to fit so, I’m glad they found their happy ending. May their lives be all that their dreams are made of. Best wishes all around.   In the WWE Universe, we have some more typical grumblings but the nature of them makes me wonder. Remember, you can’t fully trust what you come across in this world. That’s the reality of life in kayfabe. At the very least, half of it isn’t real. So, what is everyone grumbling about? This time around, it’s disapproval of Shane McMahon’s behind the scenes behavior. There are reports that both Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon weren’t very happy with him during the Royal Rumble, seemi...

  Good Evening, Enthusiasts. Hope you’re having a great Friday. So, there are some rumblings in the wrestling world. Let’s get into some of it, shall we. Let’s start with the non-WWE rumors. Tony Khan announced on social media that he has some announcements set for tonight’s Rampage . With many former WWE stars’ non-compete clauses expiring this week, the thought is that he’ll be announcing the acquisitions. We’ll see if this helps AEW or gives them more problems. Many fear they’ll start making the same mistakes WWE did by overloading the roster and not having enough for everyone to do. We’ll soon see if they took any notes on what not to do. To straddle the 2 worlds, Brian Kendrick asked for his release from WWE. The request was granted with no non-compete clause. He jumped to AEW only to get himself canceled by old shit circulating online. Well, let that be a lesson. Cancel Culture is real and if you said some questionable shit and it’s still up, don’t be surprised if it comes ba...
