WWE Musings

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday! So, there’s a few things we can chat about today. I’ll keep to the point since there’s not a whole lot going on but there’s enough to have decent conversation. Ready to get into it? Let’s. Let’s start in the Realm of AEW first as Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan is putting his 😡 face on and coming for Jon Moxley. Moxley has professed walking into the “mouth of war…” this Saturday at AEW’s WrestleDream PPV. Danielson made sure he does it with a few bruises as he gave Mox what for all around the ring, backstage and back this past Tuesday. I did a little homework this week and caught his and Wheeler Yuta’s match against BCC members Claudio Castagnoli aka Cesaro and PAC. All I’ll say is that Danielson has every right to put his foot right up Mox’s ass and he pretty much did that so, good for him. Mox asked for it. Not sure how this plays out in the match but it’s nice to see Danielson can man up when the situation calls for it.  It also bo...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   So, best show of them all, huh? Guess we’ll see about that. While we contemplate, here’s what’s got my attention. Care to take a look? We’re probably on the same page.   So, first order of business is the supposed first order of business. Word is that the Hell in the Cell Match is going to open. I wouldn’t do this. Only because of the logistics. Just face it. It takes time to set up. Time to break down. Even if CM Punk and Drew McIntyre knock it out of the park, you risk a loss in momentum. First match should set the tone of the night.   Personally, I’m thinking it should be Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. That’s fun. Dominik Mysterio is in a shark cage. Already, they’ve kinda undersold themselves and that’s fine. The kids get to prove themselves while everyone else gauges how to measure up. To me, that’s a better way to set themselves up for success.   The HIAC is hit or miss by default and then you pressurize it by opening...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday! Well, there are plenty of things we can discuss this evening but I’m only going to touch on a few. Shouldn’t take too long. You’ll be hearing a lot from me with Bad Blood this weekend so, I’ll try not to ramble on. Let’s get into it, shall we? We’ll begin in the Realm of AEW as they finalized their deal with Warner Bros./Discovery. Content will be posted to Max and they’re locked in for the next few years. Congratulations to them! It’s nice to seem them getting a foothold. I never ascribed to the tribalism that floats around so, I don’t mind them succeeding. Don’t know why that would be a problem. There should be alternatives in a free market. It may not be my bag but I’m glad it’s out there to showcase talent that may not get the recognition they deserve otherwise. Onwards and upwards! I also followed up on the BCC vs. Bryan Danielson Saga and I see we’ve come to the “Ballad of Wheeler Yuta” chapter. I don’t know anything about the guy ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Making the most of a Monday? I guess you have to. There is quite a bit to chat about, depending on your interest, but I’m only going to talk about a few things. Just going with a broad overview. Though there’s much to choose from, I’ve only got words for a few. Up for hearing them? Let’s get into it.   First thing is first, whether you like him or not, congratulations are in order for Mr. Logan Paul. He’s a proud Papa as he and his fiancée welcomed their 1 st child last week. I’m sure the reality is sinking in and changing our braggart at a core level. Will he be as fun to boo going forward? Can’t say but I do wish his new family well. Mazel Tov!   In other news, for The Simpsons fans out there, John Cena got his debut but most agree that the Simpson-ification didn’t quite take with him. A commentor got it right, I think, by noticing Cena was drawn without a chin and that’s one of his more distinguishing features. Can’t say I ...

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts! Certainly glad to see the end of this week. Not that it was particularly bad or anything, just looking forward to a rest 😩 As for the Wrestling World, there are a few topics of interest we can chat about. You up for it? Let’s break it down. We’ll start in the Realm of AEW as there were some things that warrant a short discussion. First of all, Shane McMahon was seen with the Young Bucks during a flight recently. Both parties were on their way to Salt Lake City, UT for some reason. Most are saying this is a coincidence but is there a Shane McMahon debut at AEW in the works?  I can’t say. It does seem random but without Tony Khan in the mix it’s hard to say one way or another. I guess with those who travel a lot and in the same business, crossing paths is bound to happen but the destination does raise an eyebrow. It would be more dismissable if the flight was from Salt Lake to New York but reports are saying it was from New York to Salt Lake so 🤔 Guess we...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Enjoying your Friday? I’m about to start. So, there are a few rumblings at the end of this week. Gives us something to talk about for sure. You ready to get into it? Let’s do it.   We’ll start in the Realm of AEW because they seem to be evolving before our eyes at the moment. But before we get into that, the big news is that there are reports that Miro/Rusev has requested his release from AEW. Haven’t seen or heard much of him recently and I wasn’t sure if that was due to him being injured or whatever but it appears he feels he’s going to waste. Could we see the return of “Rusev Day” in the WWE Universe? Most commenters would welcome it and I wouldn’t mind it either.   I’m glad Miro got a taste of the world outside of the WWE Universe but he always seemed better suited for it. Hopefully, he has confirmed that sentiment. I would like to see him return, Lana too. But in the event that they return, they’ll have to decide to either k...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Enjoying your Monday evening? It’s a slow news day in the Wrestling World so, unlike recent posts, this one should be brief. Just don’t have much to talk about. Shall we get into it? Let’s just jump in.   Given WWE is now working with rap artist Megan Thee Stallion, there’s speculation that Mercedes Moné aka Sasha Banks may have to wait to collaborate with her. Word has it that she had designs to work with Stallion at some point in a wrestling capacity but that tends to get difficult when WWE calls dibs.   Well, we don’t know the particulars of this partnership. Not sure it constitutes a contractual obligation or at least not a long-standing one. I would think if WWE intends to use mainstream artists going forward, it’s probably less expensive to let them come and go as they please. I wouldn’t say never if I were Moné. Stallion is a big girl. I think she’d translate well to in-ring action. If she’s in good shape, I’d look into se...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Well, it was an interesting weekend. AEW has all the attention right now due to All Out being no All In. Most viewers preferred All In as All Out seemed to go “too far”. I didn’t see it for myself but I’ll catch the said better matches some time this week but I did see enough on social media to form somewhat of an opinion. Let’s get into it, shall we?   So, I was actually feeling a little excited for AEW as they seemed to be finding a good stride to establish and then they just missed the mark. Is it a failed experiment? Not quite. Let’s start with the Steel Cage Match between Swerve Strickland and Hangman Page. With the lead up of Strickland’s “family home” being burned down by Page, I was expecting a “blood bath” of sorts. I thought and was half-expecting them to go out there and “kill each other” like they’re s’poseta but no, they added an extra layer as Page “rigged the game” by drugging Strickland, syringe and all, to deal him a chai...
