SmackDown Keeps the Pot Simmering for Survivor Series...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! So, there are some grumblings in the Wrestling World but they don’t concern me much. Yet, that doesn’t mean I don’t have some things to talk about. I’ll try to keep it short but I may ramble a bit. Excuse me in advance. Let’s get to it, shall we?   We’ll spend a little time in the Realm of AEW as I had to check in on the progress of the Future. But before we get into that, I saw that Dante Martin was action so, I took a look at how he’s doing.   I called him out as an up-and-coming prospect a while back but then he got that gnarly foot injury and I wasn’t sure how he would recover. Thankfully, it seems he’s back to his high-flying ways but he was in a 6-Man-Tag against the likes of the Young Bucks or rather the Brothers Jackson and some other gentleman. I don’t recall who was on his team.   However, with talent like Martin’s, I couldn’t help but think, “Why isn’t he up against guys like Ricochet or even tha...

RAW Keeps Us Going at a Good Pace for Survivor Series...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   The rains continue in Southern California. Looks like it’ll be spotty throughout the week. We’ll see if it affects my schedule. In the meantime, the Wrestling World is kinda quiet so this should be quick. Not gonna lie and act like I’m more interested than I am. If it piques my interest, it piques my interest.   The Realm of AEW appears to be doing its thing smoothly so, no need to comment as of now. The Future is Bright and on its way. So, let’s go straight to the WWE Universe.   On tonight’s RAW, The “Last Time Is Now” Tournament continues and it looks like we’ll get another “surprise”. We got Zack Ryder aka Matt Cardona last week on SmackDown and though it was back to jobbing, he looked good. He gave LA Knight a run for his money and then did what he was paid to do. Tonight, it’s Solo Sikoa who gets to wait with bated breath to see who he faces.   As for the rest of the action, we can anticipate Heel Nikki Bella taki...

SmackDown Keeps Us on Track for Survivor Series...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s a rainy one in Southern California. Given the time of year, it’s a good time to stay nice and snuggly inside. I’ve been making the most of it πŸ˜‰ As for the Wrestling World, there are a few things going on but nothing setting the world on fire. We’ll get into a bit of it but this shouldn’t be a long post. Not that much to talk about but enough for a brief chat. Let’s get started, shall we?   We’ll start in the Realm of AEW as they had their Blood & Guts event on Dynamite this week. All I cared about was the main event so, I checked that out. Well, I just hope everyone has their immunizations up to date because this stuff is a mess . So, I didn’t care for the “gore” but my focus, as always, is on the progression of the Future and I see that we’re getting there slowly but surely. As it should be.   Jon Moxley has been operating with some humility as one would think he’d be the final entrant, but he let PAC have the honors...

RAW Does Double Duty for John Cena & Survivor Series...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   A Merry Monday to you! So, there’s not much to speak of so far. There are a few continuations from last week but it’s generally a slow wrestling news day so, this should be short but we’ll see. I know I can start to ramble. Given that, shall we just get to it? Let’s dive in.   The Realm of AEW seems to be doing fine as they’re preparing for their Blood & Guts event that’s to be held this week. It looks like Jon Moxley will have to watch from the sidelines as who I’ve been playfully calling “Krista’s Dad” aka Roderick Strong took him out with some help from Mox’s new bane of existence, Darby Allin.   Strong gets the monicker because he looks like someone’s dad. I wouldn’t look at him and say he’s a wrestler, but Krista’s Dad for sure πŸ˜‰ I don’t know if he has kids but he has that look certainly. He’s a solid wrestler though, I’ve noticed.   This turn of events is likely to result in some retribution so, Wednesday Nig...

SmackDown Clears the Way for Survivor Series...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Enjoying this Friday? Getting used to the time change, if it applies? Can’t say this is the most exciting end of the week but some beneficial changes are pending on the horizon for me so, can’t really complain.   As for the Wrestling World, there are a few things going on but we’ll only touch on one issue because I keep seeing it pop up but besides that, it should be a short post. So, without further ado, let’s get to it.   As many of you may have already heard, Ridge Holland now going by his real name, Luke Menzies, has got himself fired from WWE. Word is that he bad-mouthed them on social media and the response was to be expected. Unfortunately for him, the timing couldn’t be worse. On top of that, he suffered an injury working a TNA show and may have to get neck fusion surgery. Worst case, the man is out of action for about 2 years with a family to feed and house.   The dire circumstances have forced Menzies to resort...

RAW Starts Prepping for Survivor Series...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Getting through another Monday? That’s me for sure. Well, we got a couple things to chat about so shouldn’t be that long of a post but we’ll see where we end up. Ready to get into it? Here we go.   The Saturday Night: Main Event has come and gone and it was pretty standard I would say, like a polished weekly show though some would say it could have been cleaner, especially when it came to Jey Uso. I’ll just chalk that up to him staying in character.   He does seem poised for a Heel Turn.   I would say this show was a clear demonstration of “displaying realism” as none of the matches were stellar but they were hard-fought and do progress the general storylines in play. Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes opened and many took to social media to protest the treatment of McIntyre. When can the guy get a break was the general consensus.   Personally, I feel him swinging and missing again is par for the course. That’s a big pa...

Saturday Night: Main Event (IV) - Matches of Interest

Image
  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts! It’s another Saturday Night: Main Event and I’m not sure how to really feel about it. The real talking point is how I had to reconfigure my streaming services to accommodate. That was a pain but who knows. I got myself some deals and may be able to further streamline so, perhaps it’s a strange necessary evil.  Regardless, we are all gathered here tonight to see how a few Championships fare. Gotta keep things going. Can’t just let the Titles sit to gather dust. Out of them all, I’m looking more at the Triple Threat Match for the Intercontinental Championship. We’ve got Penta (aka Lucha-Mitsu) and Rusev gunning for Dominik Mysterio. Dom has proven he’ll bend the rules so, what clever ways will he manage to retain this time? Or will we get a shocker? I don’t mind either way. Though Dom is improving by the day, he’s not someone I need to see wrestle. He’s fun, though. I don’t mind his matches but I doubt he ever main events, if you know what I mean....
