How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the weekend! So, there’s a bit to chat about. Not that much but enough to have a decent post so let’s get right into it and then go relax.   We’ll start in the Realm of AEW as the march to All In starts to ramp up to a gallop. The future is what matters at the moment but I think after All In, The Future will start coming back to the fore but for now, I appreciate the forward thinking AEW is showing.   The major point of interest is naturally the showdown between Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega. What I like about this is the way Omega plays it. At the moment, Ospreay is coming off like a hothead and Omega appears to be doing what he can to get in his head and “trigger” him. You could say that he’s being “The Heel” here but there’s a sort of Pai Mei (of Pulp Fiction fame) sensibility to it. He’s being hard on him to prompt the “next level” out of him it seems. You know, teach him a lesson.   I’ll admit, Omega appe...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s another week. I had a mini break last week so I’m looking forward to it. As for the Wrestling World, there isn’t much going on so this will be a short post but I’ll try to make it engaging nevertheless. Let’s get to it.   In the Realm of AEW they did one of their double-headers and pre-recorded last week’s Collision. The only points of note to me were Jack Perry seeming to be ready for the big time. Swerve Strickland may be the one who sees for sure but Perry’s not afraid to put the “money maker” on the line.   This makes me chuckle a little. I’m all for Perry becoming his own man but it leaves the door open for some cheeky asides. If I rode death, I’d be suspicious of any promotional activity with original 90210 stars. Beware Jason Priestley rolling through with some hockey goons 😉 Somebody has to look out for the kid. I'm down to see Priestley's version of going "Wayne Brady" Chappelle Style.   I’ll also give a...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! There are a few things we can chat about but this has been a kinda slow week. It’s only natural to have a lull from time to time. Makes the big events feel bigger. This should keep this a fairly short post so, let’s get into it so we can get on with our weekend. Here we go.   In the Realm of AEW, the focus is on All In at the end of the month. All the action and preparation is geared towards that. This doesn’t have too much to directly do with The Future but that’s all right. There’s plenty of time for that.   What I will say is that MJF is continuing to do his job. He is making it quite clear he can be a dick in his sleep so that’s perfect for executing Strike 1. That’s all it really needs, someone dick enough to do it.   Our Man Moxley doesn’t have any crossover business with MJF or Don Callis at the moment but that could easily change in the months to come. As for now, it looks like Jack “Jungle Boy” Per...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to a new week! There’s not much going on at the start so, I can promise a relatively short post but I will say that the future, in general, is looking quite promising. Wrestling seems to be in the process of evolving and I welcome this manifestation. There’s life in the industry yet. Let us observe. In the meantime, let’s just get caught up in the current goings-on, shall we?   In the Realm of AEW, things are building slowly to All In at the end of the month. Last week’s Collision , had some tidbits for the Future as the Riders of Death were in action. What caught my eye was the promo Our Man Moxley cut on the Bang Bang Gang. He doesn’t seem to have a problem with his upcoming opponent, Jack Perry. But that fucking Bang Bang Gang better not cross his path or there’s gonna be all kinds of hell to pay.   With a name like “Bang Bang Gang”, I can understand some dislike but Mox got up to a 7.5 on the Crazy Meter. Dang, what d...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! Well, the Wrestling World is kinda quiet at the moment but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to talk about. I’ve noticed a couple of things but nothing I can ramble on about for too long so, this shouldn’t be that long of a post. So, let’s just have the chat and get on with our lives, shall we? Here we go.   We’ll start in the Realm of AEW. They had a bit of a field trip this week as they were down in Mexico City for an extended Dynamite. Naturally, I had my eye on The Future. I didn’t see much but that’s okay. There were more important things to establish. There’s plenty of time for The Future to develop and they should take it. What I will say is that there seems to be positivity surrounding it so, I’m glad that it is indeed looking Bright.   As for the action, what I focused on was the opener as we had all Riders of Death on deck for a Fatal-4-Way against Papa Christian, Uncle Edge and the Young Bucks. The Mexico...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s another week and there’s some things to chat about in the Wrestling World. AEW had their Redemption PPV and there are plenty of thoughts. I have my own but they’re less confused because if I didn’t know better, I’d say we’re simply witnessing how The Future will lead into the future. Have no idea what I’m talking about? Good, you shouldn’t. We’re free to comment on execution but for the most part, we should sit back and let it happen. Let me explain…sorta.   Generally speaking, this PPV wasn’t a well-regarded one but I was happy with what I saw. Naturally, I’m concerned with The Future and we got our amuse bouche in the Tag Team Match with Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay pairing up to take on the Young Bucks. The Bucks fared better than I would like to give them credit. Probably tired of people saying they suck. I wasn’t impressed but they executed the technical stuff with a lot more grace than I would have ever given them so, at least t...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Independence Day Weekend! I know that comes with some very mixed emotions in the United States but I’ll just say this. This country is a living experiment of the concept of Freedom. Note how that is more nuanced than simply doing what one wants. The conflicts we face stem from some feeling what they desire is better than what others desire. Freedom ultimately comes down to what works for society. We should be free to live. Free to prosper. What ultimately matters is that the method is effective. Remember, that can take many different forms and that requires tolerance and civility. We are entitled to our preferences but when one’s preference must become imposed, the point of Freedom is lost. Endeavor to live freely with all the trappings and intricacies that can create if you want this experiment to prove successful.   As for the Wrestling World, things appear to be a lot simpler but there is a lot of speculation wafting through the ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to a new week. Well, it was an eventful weekend for the Wrestling World. Anyone who cared to, witnessed the juxtaposition between WWE and AEW and was able to come to whatever conclusion. Both have their pros and both have their cons but for the most part, I think the majority of us were entertained. And in both cases, the question now becomes what’s the fallout?   Let us start in the Realm of AEW. The prevailing story appears to be the “new and improved” Will Ospreay. Both he and Swerve Strickland ended up wearing plenty of red as Ospreay surged on to take the match. Strickland didn’t just give it to him, hence the bloody affair but with the Riders of Death in Ospreay’s corner, Ospreay appears to headed towards his “destiny”. How exactly that manifests and what exactly that is remains to be seen, however.   There are a few logistical questions raised by many fans as there appear to be some incongruities with the trajector...
