WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   A good MLK Day to you if you get to celebrate it with a day off. That happens to be my fate at the moment and I have enjoyed the day thoroughly. As for the Wrestling World, it’s fairly quiet at present but I have a couple things to chat about so, let’s get it over with then we can get to lounging however we please.   We start in the Realm of AEW as we check on the percolating Future and I would say the first bubbles have started to rise to the surface. On this weekend’s Collision, we saw Don Callis himself get a few of Jon Moxley’s feathers ruffled. Mox did try to just walk away. I would presume that Mox is fully aware of his… “tendencies”. Yet, taking the High Road did not save him. The Callis Family is large and members were there to greet Mox with what they would feel is a well-overdue beatdown. The Riders of Death were quick to swoop in and back them off but the gauntlet has been thrown to the ground. If that doesn’t light a feud, I ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday to you. Well, this was a productive one, I’ll give it that. Had better ones and definitely had worse so, I won’t complain. As for the Wrestling World, there appears to be some movement on the horizon so, that’s something to talk about. For most, it’s stuff that was percolating so we’ll see what actually comes to fruition. Shall we have the chat? Here we go.   In the Realm of AEW, there are always many things going on but we’ll only talk about a couple. As I said last post, there was a showdown between Darby Allin and PAC on this week’s Dynamite and so I sat myself down and watched. It was an impassioned display on Allin’s part. He did get the jump on PAC and keeping him off-balance appeared to be the winning strategy as Allin did take the W in the end. A few commenters had the problem I’m trying to give suggestions on mitigating as PAC is a small tank and Allin is 45lbs so, how did that happen really? Well, PAC did help Allin out a ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Enjoy your weekend? I felt mine was productive. As for the Wrestling World, there’s not a lot going on that’s piqued my interest but we’ve got some stuff to talk about, don’t worry 😉 Without further ado let’s get into it, shall we?   Over in the Realm of AEW, I feel we got some clarification on Jon Moxley’s “status” so to speak. As the Riders of Death in Daniel Garcia, PAC and Wheeler Yuta participated in their version of a 6-Man Tag, Moxley sat in on commentary to talk up his crew and generally lend support. The discourse, to me, made it clear he’s no Face but he’s not exactly a Heel either. I think he’s more or less what he’s always been, Rogue and that’s fine.   I was just pointing out how if he has Face-turned, he’d have to be a better Face and he’s more or less the same as he ever was so if people have grown to appreciate it, I have nothing against it. I hope it’s clear that I am a fan. I just couldn’t get behind faux atte...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! There’s a lot going on stateside so, expect many of us looking forward to a little escape. The WWE Universe gets another taste of Germany as WWE does its European Tour so that will be a nice change of scene. As for the Wrestling World, there’s not much that caught my attention but there’s enough in play to have a brief discussion. Shall we?   We’ll start in the Realm of AEW as they ease into this “age” of a calmer, gentler Jon Moxley. He took on Shelton Benjamin to see if Benjamin could get himself a shot at the Continental Championship and though Benjamin was the better wrestler, he just couldn’t get the job done in the end. You could say he should have zigged when he zagged so it was the sort of loss where it was understandable if he “kicked himself” afterwards.   Mox was sportsmanly enough to offer a handshake after but he wasn’t completely clean in the match. He did go for the eye poke at one point so…how “Face”...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy first Monday of the year. Feel any different? I don’t know about you but I’m accepting it a lot more than usual. Maybe because of the impending changes that are on the ever-approaching horizon. Whatever it is, I felt more ready for it than usual. Guess I’ve had enough of the holidays 😉   As for the Wrestling World, there is some minor shuffling. Nothing that shocking but it should give us something to chat about so, let’s get into it. It won’t be that much but we’ll jump around a bit.   We’ll start in the Realm of AEW as we check on the Future. Not much to speak of just yet. It appears Darby Allin means to make good on his new target in PAC. I’ve noticed that he seems a bit absent from the Riders of Death of late. Is that foreshadowing? Everyone is talking about how Claudio Castagnoli will probably be the one to usurp Jon Moxley but could it really be PAC setting up to stage the coup?   I suppose we’ll see but, in the me...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy New Year! Have no idea what to expect for this one but I have a few reasons to be optimistic. In the meantime, let’s take a little look at what’s going on in the Wrestling World. It’s not much but there’s a few things to talk about. Let’s get into it.  Over in the Realm of AEW, many are trying to wrap their heads around Jon Moxley being a Face. It does appear that the Callis Family is assuming the primary Heel Faction designation and most feel that the Riders of Death in general are still Heels which sets the scene for them turning on Mox at some point but I’m not sure if that’s what the endgame actually is. As of now, Mox appears to be facing some “Karma” more than anything else. As he may have bullied others previously to “make a point” opponents aren’t feeling any restraint to do whatever necessary to get the W. This week, it was Josh Alexander who tried his hand at getting a chance at taking the Continental Championship off Mox’s hands but cam...
