WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Did you have a nice weekend? My weekend was purposeful. Got some things done, watched a few movies. It was nice in it’s simplicity. Now, we’re back in the swing of things. New month, new year, new way to watch RAW , among other things. Ready to talk about it? Let’s get to it. First, we’ll stop by the Realm of AEW courtesy of New Japan as Kenny Omega made his return to the ring this past weekend. As you may remember, he’s been out for about a year with an acute case of diverticulitis but appears to have recovered and is back to doing his thing. He’s got plans to reestablish himself back in the AEW fold which should be interesting seeing how things are going. I’m curious to see how he figures and with who. All in all, it’s good to see him healthy. Welcome back! In the WWE Universe, we all know this is the big Netflix debut of RAW and so talk has been mostly about what to expect. From what I’ve been seeing, we should have a more leisurely time of enjoying the...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?  Enjoying the calm before Christmas? For the stateside readers, how do you like the rise in egg prices again 🙃 I saw one of those 60-egg crates going for about $40 🤯 Yup, just another day in paradise.  As for the Wrestling World, there’s quite a bit to chat about today. A lot going on with the Holidays and such along with anticipation for the new year. Shall we break it down? Let’s. We'll stop at the Realm of AEW for a bit since word spread of the  banger Will Osprey and Darby Allin put on this past Wednesday at AEW’s Continental Classic. So, I had to sit down and take a look. I have to concur, it was a fine a match. Allin is definitely growing on me. I can’t see him working outside of AEW, due to his size, but he’s got moxie. Gotta give it to him. He was pulling off very slick moves against Osprey. Just putting that lean frame to full use.  Osprey seemed to be going with the flow more than usual, I’ll give him that. It was defin...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Welcome to a new week. So, there’s quite a bit in motion/going on. I would say it was a successful weekend for WWE and AEW seems 2 making their stuff work. Shall we have a chat about it? Let’s… First up, we’ll stop in the Realm of AEW as we see Jon Moxley and Company “dial it down” a bit and decide to jump/semi-kidnap FTR. See, that’s what I’m talking about. Have some fun. Get crazy! Give us something to watch. Not sure what the endgame is exactly, but at this point, there’s time to flesh it out. I’ll be sure to check out this “epic” Fatal-4-Way getting set-up once it’s filed away. Keep things simple for now and just go out, get nuts and have fun. If it entertains, it entertains. Don’t overthink it. Most of us aren’t that invested but we will bitch if we’re not entertained. In the WWE Universe, there are a few points of discussion. The Saturday Night: Main Event went off without a hitch and it was a fine night of wrestling. No real upsets but as we all kno...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Enjoying your Friday? I hope so. I have some self-care plans for the weekend so, why not start now. As for the Wrestling World, there are some things we can chat about. Not much has me captivated but we can have a decent conversation nonetheless. Are you up for it? Let’s do it. First, we’ll take a brief look at the Realm of AEW to see how Jon Moxley and crew took last week’s notes. Well, this week’s efforts were definitely more entertaining, I’ll give ‘em that. Mox was slipping into…familiar tones if I may say. All I’ll add is remember the timing. Though I love to see Dean Ambrose break through, I hope Mox paces himself.  If something “epic” is in the works, not popping off too soon is critical. Unless, he manages to make that part of the whole thing. Not impossible but this is new territory. Best not to get too experimental. But do have fun and push boundaries. What I saw was fun but it could lead to “dissension”. Only go there if the story is fleshed ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Having a fair Monday? Mine is pretty chill, to be honest. Usually a lot more going on but I’m not complaining. As for the Wrestling World, there are some things going on. Nothing to set hair on fire but enough to have a decent chat. You up for it? All right, here it goes. In the Realm of AEW, the Death Riders seem to be having a little problem with getting taken seriously. I saw Jon Moxley and company try to “poison” Orange Cassidy with Listerine and I can see why people are rolling their eyes. This is why I was suggesting things like sending Darby Allin to “Abu Dhabi”. Orange Cassidy can get boxed up and sent off instead if they like. It could be a running bit that no one can get a hold of him for a week or 2 and then he can surprise at the PPV or crash one of the Go-Home Shows looking like hell ‘cause he had to “hitchhike” his way back to the States. They can even dramatize his trials for a promo or something. The whole thing is ridiculous so they might ...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Welcome to a new week and Happy Thanksgiving to my stateside readers. We got some stuff to chat about today. Let’s not waste time and get right into it. It’s only some, so it shouldn’t take too long. Ready? Here we go! We’ll start over in the Realm of AEW as they had their Full Gear PPV over the past weekend. It’s no surprise that Match of the Night went to Will Osprey and Kyle Fletcher but it looks like Mercedes Moné and Kris Statlander took the Silver. From what snipits I could find, I can see why. Good for them! As for the Moxley Takeover tinged main event between Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy, it didn’t medal amongst onlookers but the match itself was fine. It’s everything that spilled out after that soured palettes. For what I’m looking at, I didn’t mind it. Moxley just bullied Cassidy but Cassidy hung tough. Moxley retained with help and distractions so Cassidy loses no face. Mox does have to contemplate how to make this experiment more engaging...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? How’d the week treat you? Meh, it wasn’t that exciting on my end but as usual, just glad it’s over. As for the Wrestling World there are some grumblings but per usual, not that it moved me much, but we have a few things to kick around. Ready? Here we go. First, we’ll stop in the Realm of AEW and check in on this Death Riders Domination. I guess the bigger news is that Toni Storm is “retiring” from pro-wrestling. Given the nature of this disclosure, it’s pretty clear it’s a work of some sort so, we’ll let the lady do her thing.  As for Jon Moxley’s crew, I like how both Darby Allin and Orange Cassidy are doing what they can to slow down their train. Someone has to 😉 Yet, in both cases, my case and point was kinda proven. Regardless, I’ll just start with how both Allin and Cassidy are proving their chops and kinda growing on me in the process. Allin, though a solid 45lbs. wet, just won’t quit and Cassidy is a solid worker. He may have made it up t...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday! So, it’s not the most exciting week. There’s stuff going on but nothing setting the world on fire. This should be a fairly short post, so if you have a few minutes to spare, feel free to continue to read through. Let’s see what’s caught my eye. We’ll stop first in the Realm of AEW as the Moxley Takeover is in full effect but what I liked about this past week was how other players got some more visibility. I have to say Darby Allin jumping on the Death Riders from the top of the entryway was fun to watch. See, if you’re gonna descend from the sky it might as well be on top of someone. Why go through all the drama for no effect? Also, Claudio Castagnoli aka Cesaro was subtly humorous contradicting Wheeler Yuta. I hope that was just a dash of foreshadowing, but we’ll see. Castagnoli also demonstrated what he brings to the table, as we all know that though he is leanly built, he’s one of the strongest in the Industry pound-for-pound. When the Ride...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Well, there’s stuff going on, but I’ll be honest. It’s an uncertain time in the United States of America. I’ll give a little personal insight to start and then we’ll happily escape into the Wrestling World. I just feel I have to offer a take on this whole thing. Now, for my international readers, let me just say that Americans, generally speaking, have never been known for their smarts and this year’s election proved why unfortunately. Middle America has this idea/concept of America that I as a female person of color could never fully relate to. I see all too often the hypocrisy and unfairness. So, when Donald Trump first came through with this whole “Make America Great Again” concept, I never really understood to what he was referring.  I’m supposing it’s some Baby Boomer sentiment of when things were cheap and plentiful. You could happily and relatively easily go about buying your house with the picket fence, have your 2.5 kids and leave your front do...
