WWE Musings

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...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts! Happy Friday! So, there are a few things going on in the Wrestling World but nothing rocking it. Just stuff going on so, this should be a relatively short post. We’ll be able to get the weekend started pretty quickly so, let’s get into it shall we. In the Realm of AEW, they’re getting ready for its Beach Break event happening next week. It’s not quite a PPV but it’s enough to get them to change their regular schedule as Collision was bumped up to Thursday to create a 2-Night event. All I’m looking at is the Steel Cage Match between Samoa Joe and Jon Moxley. I’ll definitely take a look at that with an eye towards the Future. Yet, in terms of news, social media has been a bit of a stir for AEW. Will Osprey has always been a staunch proponent for AEW and he stirred it up again by proclaiming that their wrestlers are better wrestlers than WWE’s any day of the week and most are saying that’s a matter of preference. I don’t doubt they’re generally better technica...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy WrestleMania Go-Home Week! Since that’s where we’re at, there isn’t much going on in the Wrestling World other than people trying to get some attention riding the WrestleMania coattails so, let’s get into the discussion. It should be short.   We pitstop first in the Realm of AEW to see how the Death Riders fare while PAC recovers. Jon Moxley does the honorable thing and steps into the vacant space. He also offered us a rather poignant promo to explain the next steps and I have to say, I wasn’t expecting it. With moments like these, the future may become so bright I’ll need to wear sunglasses. I wasn’t even aiming for the sun.   That said, I’ll leave them with 1 last piece of advice and then I’ll just get cryptic to allow the future to properly germinate. When all the “real stuff” goes down and Mox is finally left with a “choice”, just remember that this is not a “breakdown” it is a “relapse”. Mind the nuance and surprise th...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Enjoying your Friday? This was supposed to be more eventful but that appears to be holding over for the weekend. No matter, as long as it happens 😉 As for the Wrestling World, there’s some stuff we can talk about, certainly. Ready for it? Let’s break it down. We’ll stop in the Realm of AEW since this week was their Dynasty PPV Fallout Dynamite show. Well, with the Young Bucks back on the scene, Jon Moxley made it clear that they’re not exactly in league with each other so, the plot twist does make for some mild intrigue. Just the sort of thing needed to set whatever this is up for the “long game”. That’s good enough for me for now. There’s a lot of time for the “real stuff” to get going. This sort of thing is good groundwork. It can establish a sort of “reasonable doubt” while his enemies build a case. Mox can have moments of clarity when he wants to. The Future remains Bright. Continue. Yet, this week it’s PAC who got the attention since he appeared to g...
