SmackDown Holds the Pace but Knows the Music...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?

 

I can understand if it’s a bittersweet Friday as many of us mourn the loss of Chuck Norris. I have to say that I didn’t care much for him in my youth. He seemed a corny alternative if you were a true Martial Arts/Action movie fan. I was more interested in Jet Li back then and to a lesser degree Jackie Chan but over the years, especially when the Chuck Norris jokes started, my stance on him softened. And so, I will start with a soft tribute to him by sharing the 5 jokes I found the funniest. Then we’ll get into the usual business.

Top 5 Chuck Norris Jokes 

• Chuck Norris is so tough, when exposed to the Coronavirus, the virus was in quarantine for a month.
• Chuck Norris is so tough he can start a fire with an ice cube.
• When Chuck Norris does division, there are no remainders.
• Chuck Norris once kicked a horse in the chin. Its descendants are now known as giraffes.
• The only time Chuck Norris was ever wrong, was when he thought he had made a mistake.

Rest in peace, good sir. And now onto the wrestling.

Over in the Realm of AEW, the return of Will Osprey is the big thing. After dispatching of some bloke by the name of Blake Christian by numbers, he called out Jon Moxley by stating that he can at least break someone’s neck with his bare hands. Well, from what I’ve seen only if they’ve been instructed to stand there and take it. Not to mention, kayfabe-wise, he remembers Mox is fucking crazy, right? That sort of thing may bring out the “old habits” again 😉

 

Well, Mox isn’t the type to hide from a taunt and entered the arena soon after Osprey rang. They got to tussling but Mox had his match with Wheeler Yuta against the Bang Bang Gang so he let PAC handle Osprey which I think was a very wise decision. I think a match between Osprey and Mox only makes sense if they’re brawling and how is Osprey gonna get in his set moves like that? PAC is far better suited to deal. I don’t know how it ends but you know how I feel about Osprey’s style.

 

Since it’s early yet for the Future, I’d keep PAC the buffer for now. Osprey could use that to further taunt Mox by saying how PAC has to fight his battles for him but that should be by design. Osprey can’t dance anyway. It should be an Osprey problem. If that eventually triggers Osprey, good. They can then have some sort of No Holds Barred Match where Mox makes the stipulations and we’ll see if Osprey can hang. That would be more interesting to me. We’ll see what they do. I don’t mind Mox waving him off forever either. Not sure a typical showdown would make for a good match.

 

Over in the WWE Universe, there’s some interesting things going on, on the outskirts. I’m not sure if this is set up for some sort of WWE angle or just these guys making flag football interesting but there’s a clip circulating of Logan Paul and Rob Gronkowski almost getting into it at some function.

 

Personally, Kevin Hart getting in between to break it up is inadvertently hilariously ‘cause the guy is half their size but he’s prominent enough that neither one want to get caught knocking him down. There’s no way that plays cool. I can’t tell how serious it is. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gronk doesn’t care for Paul but given their WWE affiliations, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a bit staged. There’s some talk going on between wrestlers and Tom Brady too so, I can see this being a bit of publicity stunt but you never know.

 

And so, that brings us to tonight’s SmackDown. The name of the game is WrestleMania set up and tonight we have some match ups that could prove interesting. For those who like a technical display we have the Motor City Machine Guns taking on Fraxiom. Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre will have at in some sort of way. Don’t expect it to happen in the ring. Kit Wilson will have some words for Jelly Roll. Damian Priest and R-Truth will see how partial Solo Sikoa and whichever Juggalo are to their Tag Team Titles. The Bella Twins will see if they can get the jump on Nia Jax and Lash Legend for the Ladies’ Tag Team Championships. And Randy Orton will explain to us why a Viper must vipe.

 

I have cooking duties tonight so, I may be a bit distracted. We’ll see how long it takes. Preparation is what’s time consuming for this particular meal. Once it’s all in the pot, it’s pretty quick from there. I’ll be settled before the show’s over, that’s for certain. So, if you’re staying in for the evening, you’re welcome to stop by. This is what I do on Friday nights.

 

See You in a Bit,
