Wrestling Musings on Wax

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s kinda quiet this week so I don’t have that much to talk about but I have some things to relay so let’s get into it. Why dally?   In the rogue City-State of MLW they’re preparing for their PPV Super Fight. Not very imaginative but I can respect it just sticking to the meat of the matter. There, the controversial Tessa Blanchard is set to debut.   I don’t know much about her other than her views are less than popular on certain subjects but I haven’t witnessed anything personally so, I can’t really comment but I have noticed that MLW doesn’t seem to mind picking up the industry’s miscreants. I guess time will tell if this a good acquisition for the city-state or not.   As for last week’s action, the Glasgow Boys member Wolfgang took on Beastman and that was far more entertaining than you’d think. Beastman embraces the gimmick and acts as if he retires to a cave somewhere after each show. They paired him with a masked ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Well, first thing first. I’m sure you noticed the minor rebrand. With AI becoming more of a mainstay and whatnot I figured I might as well personalize my blog a bit. I’m also branching out. I’m sure many of you have noticed that WWE is not the focal point as much anymore. When I started this, that’s all there really was on TV anyway. I never cared for TNA. I appreciate the advances in the industry. With new options to partake of, I don’t mind if I do. I may do a full overhaul one day but for now, I’ll keep the changes subtle.   As for the Wrestling World, there’s not that much going on. Many are standing by to see how Crown Jewel goes and monitoring the situation as best they can. I’m not sure how much we can actually know but last I heard, Saudi Arabia managed to deter a drone attack so, I guess that’s comforting 🙄   Personally, if I were living in the region, the last thing I would want to do is go to a wrestling show, but wh...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Halloween Week! The Wrestling World is kinda quiet at the moment so this shouldn’t be that long of a post but I’ve got a few things to talk about so, let’s not delay. Here we go.   In the rogue City-State of MLW they made the most of their hour. The match of note had Lady Frost again up against Saya Kamitani of H.A.T.E. over from Stardom. We got to see more of what Kamitani is about and I like these 女達 . They’re young but they get it. They got my vote of approval. The Coffey Boys do too even if you need subtitles sometimes. I love that sort of thing. Bring it on!   In the Realm of AEW, Collision seemed to serve as the Jay White show at least for the opening and closing. One of the first orders of business was to retire the “Bang Bang Gang” which is nothing but a good idea. Yet, the new tag of the Last Outfit seems to have already gotten switched out for The Cut. Most commenters aren’t sold on either but the majority seem t...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the weekend! Well, there have been more eventful weeks but that doesn’t mean we don’t have something to talk about. We got a few things we can go over. I can’t say how long I’ll be but I’ll try to keep to the point. I know everyone has other things they’d rather do. Let’s dive in.   In the Realm of AEW it appears some “sea changes” have been put into effect. Most notably, the Face Turn for the Riders of Death looks to be official. After Our Man Jon Moxley had a respectable tussle with Roderick Strong, the tides started to turn. Having defeated Strong, Mox started to make his exit, making it clear that Strong put a dent in him along with all the other matches starting to catch up as the aches and pains are getting harder to ignore. With Strong still in the ring, the supposed allies in The Dogs swarm in and jump Strong. Mox gets himself back in the ring to basically go WTF and the Dogs give him some too.   Then Gabe “The...

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...

  What’s Going On, Enthusiasts?  It’s another Crown Jewel and I’m not sure we can call it an “exhibition” anymore. It’s much more of a spectacle now, which is the natural progression. Imagine that 😉 The whole card has the potential to slap, as the kids say, but will it? It’s not impossible. Given what’s on the docket, these following matches are the ones I’m looking at. They give me a lot to think about. We’ll start with Liv Morgan and Nia Jax. These Davida vs. Golitha matches are always amusing because it’s always how is that little one gonna do it? All Jax has to do is trip and Morgan is dunzo.  So, how do we stay invested in the match? It’s all up to Morgan and probably some interference from Dominik Mysterio. Is Mysterio about to get “squashed”? Or does Tiffany Stratton cash in? That would be the obvious route. It has been teased.  All I ever asked with these sorts of showdowns is believability. I don’t mind interference or slight cheating as long as it’s semi-r...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday! So, there are few things going on. Some of them a little bittersweet but there’s enough to get a decent chat going. Up for it? Let’s do it. So, let’s just swing by the Realm of AEW for a moment to check in on the Moxley Takeover. Looks like they had some fun this past week on Dynamite with Darby Allin dropping from the rafters. Personally, I’d have him do that on top of someone but I can understand the safety issues with that. I also liked how Orange Cassidy presented his case and how Wheeler Yuta used himself as bait. I can understand him sticking to the devil he knows with Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan out for the time being. Where else would he go?  As for the man of the hour in Jon Moxley himself, I think these in-between times would be best used to implement some “charm”. If this is gonna go for a year or 2, this has to remain engaging. So, during the “lulls”, perhaps this is a time to show what he has to offer. Maybe elaborate more on...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   A merry Monday to you! So, there’s not that much for me to talk about. Things are going on but nothing that’s rattling the cage enough for me to talk about it much. Given that, this should be a brief post. Care to take a little time to read through anyway? Here it goes.   Let’s begin with our brief stop in the Realm of AEW. The BCC took it a little easy this past week as Yuta Wheeler explained himself. That’s all fine and good. I hope he paves a respectable path for himself.   I’ll just close on the matter by dropping my final submission into the Suggestion Box.   Towards the end of this ordeal, I think it’s fine for people to start lightly “Dead Naming” Mox. Naturally, this should come mostly from former WWE stars but it should be kinda subtle. Like, someone saying something along the likes of “I knew a guy by the name of Ambrose who did something similar…” or “This seems like something someone called ‘Dean’ would say…” Som...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! Well, it’s a busy night in Southern California as all sorts of things are going on tonight. The Lakers have a game. World Series, Game 1 is on and there are few other events that have the streets set to be all jammed up in a few hours. I’ll be safe inside but good luck to all those out there in the thick of it.   As for the Wrestling World, there are some things rattling around but I’m only going to talk about a few of them. Are you up for it? Let’s get into it.   I’ll take a quick pit stop in the Realm of AEW as I do have my eyes on the BCC/Jon Moxley “usurpation” of AEW. I saw that “disclaimer” they were using for this week’s Dynamite warning everyone of Mox’s expected presence and I would have only used that in the locker room. There’s something about this angle that seems best not forced. Given the tone of the fan comments I’ve been seeing, most aren’t really sure where this is going or if they even like it so,...
