WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? How’s your Monday going? This has been one of the smoother ones on record for me. As for the Wrestling World, nothing really is resonating with me so, this should be a short post. Ready for it? Here we go. We’ll pitstop in the Realm of AEW to comment on some of their administrative business. There’s been talk that Britt Baker may be WWE bound but now reports are that she’s not leaving AEW anytime soon, which may be for the best. I can’t see people carrying enough in the WWE Universe. Many feel she’d be a great heel but the roster is stacked and doesn’t really need someone who’s all bark, no bite. That said, we’ll see if there are any surprises at this weekend’s WWE Evolution event. Over in the WWE Universe, the talk is that the musician Jelly Roll will be working closely with WWE going forward. In what capacity has only been hinted at but the sentiment is that this collaboration should be in effect at least through SummerSlam. I have no problems with this. ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans. Yeah, it’s a bit of a mixed bag right now but I’ve always been in favor of the concept of this nation even though execution has always had much to be desired. Regardless, it affords me a day off and some time to relax and get acclimated to my new/temporary surroundings.   As for the Wrestling World, there’s not that much going on for me to get interested in. There’s always plenty but you know me. I’m only interested in so much. I did, however get a bit caught up with some of the goings-on in the Realm of AEW.   You may have realized that I’m only concerned with the Future and at present, that involves Adam “the Hangman” Page. This mustachioed hero isn’t having any of Jon Moxley or his Riders of Death, even if they’re lady-folk. The “shocker” was him taking out Marina Shafir this past Wednesday and it’s hard to say she didn’t have it coming. She did slap him a bunch of times 😉 Mox, ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   A Merry Monday to you. It’s hard for me to complain about it since I have it off to take care of all this settling in business. Thankfully, when I do this again, it should be less packing up and just moving and unloading and things being delivered. This is like a sort of test run for my personal future.   As for the Wrestling World, eyes were on what turned out to be a fair Night of Champions without incident and it appears everyone made it out alive so, that’s comforting. Jeff Bezos getting married appeared to be what got the most attention this past weekend.   Regardless, I was able to check in on the state of affairs in the Realm of AEW and the Future seems to be slowly but surely manifesting. Our Jon Moxley took a moment to wax poetic as he has his sights on the crybaby that is Adam “the Hangman” Page. I can’t help but focus on the moustache when it comes to Page. He looks like a cartoon character. I keep expecting it to flip...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday! So, the Wrestling World has its goings ons but per usual, I’m only interested in a few things. Shouldn’t take too much of your time. Shall we have a little chat? First, we’ll take a brief look at the Realm of AEW as they were in Mexico this week. As you may have figured by now, I’m only interested in the Future, so I had a look at the main event. The implications aren’t immediately clear other than the Riders of Death have to lose some, sometimes. I would say that this Beast Mortos guy was the most impressive, though word of him dating Mercedes Moné has prompted some curiosity. What’s under the mask?!  The joke seems to be he’s a looker but is he? 😉 From what I found online, he’s very okay and a bit thicker than I anticipated but that’s what makes this profession appealing to some. It welcomes a larger frame. In any case, let them carry on. In the WWE Universe, there are few things going on. One that may have more general attention...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Having a decent Monday? Well, mine turned out to be a bit fateful. I’ve been planning a move for a while but it is finally coming to be. Looks like I’ll soon be doing a stint in the Inland Empire then going back to the hometown. 2026 should be an interesting year indeed.   As for the Wrestling World, there are a couple things I’d like to touch on. There’s always stuff going on but not always stuff I’m interested in. Let’s get to it, shall we? I’ll try to be brief.   In the Realm of AEW there appears to be some blurring of the lines in effect as word is a crew member filed “assault” charges on Jon Moxley and AEW. What’s being circulated is suspect ‘cause it names “Moxley” as opposed to the government name so, I’m thinking this is a work but I’m not mad at it. When it comes to the Future, it could be the initial shot fired from his detractors. "Someone on the inside" may have planted the seed, sort of thing. He is a “menace”. Will ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? It’s kinda quiet in the Wrestling World at present. That doesn’t mean there’s nothing to talk about. We’ll just keep it short. We’ll start in the Realm of AEW as they graced fans with another 4 hours of programming this week. Naturally, I had to check in to see how the Future is progressing. It appears Adam “Hangman” Page is the next focus for the Riders of Death and Jon Moxley. They essentially kidnapped him and duct taped his mouth to pull him into the ring to tell him how it is. Didn’t stop Page from landing a headbutt, though. I thought he’d be too scrappy for all that but that’s fine. Makes the match to be all the juicier.  Mox continues to “foul balls” into the stands but it was Wheeler Yuta’s little chat with Kris Statlander that was interesting. Could this be a hint of "romance"? Or are the Riders of Death recruiting? Regardless, it’s a nice touch. At some point, this faction ought to implode but that’s certainly for the Future. Who all is...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Money in the Bank Eve. Well, there are a few interesting unverified reports floating around but since they’re more or less just rumor, I’m not sure I’ll comment but we have some things to chat about. Ready to get in to it? Let’s. In the Realm of AEW, they are testing their fans' level of interest as they’re having their Fyter Fest and blessing fans with 4 hours of content on Wednesday nights. We got Part 1 this week and I believe Part 2 is set for next week. I kept my ears open to any good matches to take a look at but to check on the progress of the Future, I had to see how Jon Moxley and his Riders of Death are doing.  I took a look at Mox’s match with Mark Briscoe and I have to say it’s the first time I’ve seen Briscoe’s work up front. He’s a scrappy chap. Briscoe wore the blood this time around and Mox seemed to encourage it even “sup” upon it. Disgusting . 😉 He could be said to be egging on anyone who doesn’t like it and that should b...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? It’s another hot one in Southern California. Today is supposed to be the worst of it but we’ll see if this is a precursor to how the summer is going to be. As for the Wrestling World, we have some things to chat about. Probably more thought provoking than most times so, let’s not take any more time. Let’s get into it. In the Realm of AEW, the Fallout of their Double or Nothing PPV showed Jon Moxley and the Death Riders or the “Riders of Death” as I might start to call them, confidently dispatch of the rag-tag teaming of Mike “Speedball” Bailey, Mark Briscoe and Willow Nightingale. Guess the Young Bucks eating the thumbtack sneaker stomp means the loss just rolls off their backs. They resumed wreaking havoc as if nothing happened. I liked how Nightingale wasn’t taking any guff out there, though 😉 I don’t mind this, but I do hope it leads to the next chapter of rivals getting their panties in a bunch. Mox seems to be ever so subtly egging them on so, someone...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Those of you who have it off, are you enjoying the day? I just treated it like a Sunday 😉 Gotta remind myself that tomorrow’s a workday. So, both AEW and WWE were busy this past weekend. NXT went head to head with AEW’s Double or Nothing PPV. You know I won’t speak on NXT so let’s get down to the general breakdown.   I only checked out the big ole melee with Willow Nightengale, Kenny Omega, The Opps & Swerve Strickland vs. the Death Riders & The Young Bucks. It was a wonderful mess. I took note of how Jon Moxley appeared to be egging on his detractors by filming a promo bloodied, just giving them reasons. Fair enough. Keeps their attention. Otherwise, he seemed to be running at about a 5 out there.   I also took note at how The Young Bucks are starting to look half decent. They’re funny, I’ll give them that, and their synchronicity was commendable but it looks like roughhousing when they’re out there. I want professiona...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday! Well, there are a few things we can chat about this evening. Nothing spectacular or crazy but enough to get some conversation going. Give us some things to talk about. You ready to get into it? Let’s do it.  We’ll start in the Realm of AEW since they had their dual part Beach Break this week. I, as stated, checked out the Steel Cage Match between Jon Moxley and Samoa Joe to see how this served the Future and to me, it looked like another “foul ball” into the stands. CM Punk and Drew McIntyre have nothing to worry about as there was no real comparison other than it being a Steel Cage Match but Moxley’s enemies and detractors get more “evidence” in regards to how he’s a threat to himself and others. It’s a stretch, I’ll admit, because blood was spilt but in the action not so much blading I would say. Nevertheless, I’m thinking those against him will take anything that supports their case and he was out there bleeding again.  It w...
