RAW Will Keep the Plans but Will Also Watch the MidTerms...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?

 

It’s kinda quiet this week so I don’t have that much to talk about but I have some things to relay so let’s get into it. Why dally?

 

In the rogue City-State of MLW they’re preparing for their PPV Super Fight. Not very imaginative but I can respect it just sticking to the meat of the matter. There, the controversial Tessa Blanchard is set to debut.

 

I don’t know much about her other than her views are less than popular on certain subjects but I haven’t witnessed anything personally so, I can’t really comment but I have noticed that MLW doesn’t seem to mind picking up the industry’s miscreants. I guess time will tell if this a good acquisition for the city-state or not.

 

As for last week’s action, the Glasgow Boys member Wolfgang took on Beastman and that was far more entertaining than you’d think. Beastman embraces the gimmick and acts as if he retires to a cave somewhere after each show. They paired him with a masked figure going by “Kimchee” who tries to get him to mind the rules ‘cause he’s just out there roughing up opponents. Doesn’t know about pins or submissions or nothing. Just a big ole dude who doesn’t function in society.

 

Well, it’s that lack of wherewithal that allowed Wolfgang to pick up the win but Beastman has enough meat on him to be a problem for just about anyone. We’ll see if he’ll start picking up on the mechanics of this here wrestling.

 

In the Realm of AEW, we got some pre-recorded Collision this past Saturday. The Riders of Death had some words for The Cut, Gabe “The Hooligan” Kidd especially. Some commenters on the social media don’t care much for Kidd. They don’t see what he adds to the Riders. I think that’s just his youth. I don’t think he’s hit 30 yet and it’s hard to take the kids seriously no matter how passionate.

 

I don’t really want to comment on him until he’s of age. In the meantime, I don’t mind his Hooliganism. From what I hear, pro-wrestling is a fair place to channel it. They don’t really stand for it in the streets in the UK anymore.

 

In any case, Kidd went off on the The Cut. Who the fuck do they think they are? Do they think they’re gonna stand for this? They can’t think laying up Claudio Castagnoli is the end of this? They just lit a powder keg and better stand clear if they know what’s good for ‘em.

 

Jon Moxley was able to bring the tone down after Kidd finished venting. He addressed the “Elephant” in the room with it being clear that the Riders are outnumbered. In his assessment, when hasn’t that been the case? It hasn’t stopped them yet. Marina Shafir jumped in as well, reiterating that of course it hasn’t. They wouldn’t be the standard that they are if they let a few extra guys get in the way. They’re still here and they’re always gonna be here and everyone just has to accept it. Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia basically concurred and there you have it. Don’t worry about the Riders being outnumbered. They’ll handle it.

 

Well, it doesn’t look like The Conglomeration will be much help. The Cut handed them their asses at the end of the show so…maybe the Riders are better off 🤷‍♀️ They’ll have to be smart about who they link up with but for now, that may be on hold as I see that Mox and Yuta have some business in the Empire of New Japan so we’ll see how that effects this week’s action.

 

In the WWE Universe, it’s looking like they will proceed with Crown Jewel. Apparently, some already scheduled events went on this past weekend without a problem so, there’s less apprehension on moving forward. However, I would say that TKO/WWE may wait until after the midterm elections before proceeding. What’s different this time around is how pointed this Iran War is. With TKO/WWE known affiliates of Donald Trump and his administration, the event could be targeted yet, if the election doesn’t go Trump’s way that may take some heat off but I don’t know. The whole thing can simply be regarded as proof of American Greed which has been a longstanding sticking point.

 

I’ve always been against going while tensions are high yet the other side of that argument is essentially, when are they not? So, we’ll see. Tickets sales will probably be another determining factor as well. What’s the point if no one is gonna be there? Let’s see how tomorrow goes and we’ll go from there.

 

In the meantime, tonight’s RAW is probably over and done with since they started early today. Regardless, when we get around to it, we can expect Chelsea Green to team up with Iyo Sky and Tiffany Stratton to take on the Ladies of the Judgment Day for a 6-Woman-Tag. Then the Men have their 6-Man-Tag as Penta (Lucha-Mitsu) gathers up Dragon Lee and Je’Von Evans to take on the New Vision. Chad Gable will continue to present the offering to the Wrestling Gods as he faces Ethan Page for the Intercontinental Championship. It sounds like they may not like this one, though. Then Solo Sikoa will show us what he thinks of the 946 when he takes on Royce Keys. Roman Reigns will grace us with his presence and Sami Zayn will have something to say about it. And at some point, John Cena will stop by and fill us in on some stuff.

 

We’ll get started at 6:30pm PST tonight. No need to rush. Also, some may be conscientiously objecting to sending talent into the fire so I don’t blame you for standing by your principles. I don’t like it either but if they’re willing to take the chance, that’s executing one’s free will. However, like I said I don’t think we’ll really know what’s going to happen until we know how the midterms go so, don’t protest just yet.

 

See You in a Bit,
