WWE Musings

  A Good Saturday to You, Enthusiasts! How are you doing? So, a bittersweet day in the WWE Universe, wouldn’t you say? We bid John Cena adieu as his in-ring career draws to a noble close.  I feel I should say a few words on the subject, given the event. *Ahem* I was never a John Cena fan. He seemed…ridiculous if I’m honest. This preppy hoodlum? Is that what it is? Then it morphed into The Marine and as far as I could determine, he’s never even been in the military he just sort of fit the part. Then that turned into the incarnation of recent years that basically was a “civilian marine” who lived with determination, valor and honor.  In a place like the WWE Universe, especially 20-25 years ago, in retrospect, I see why this all came to be. When I returned to wrestling some 12 years ago, Cena’s presentation was pretty much what you’ve seen. He put on a decent show and could handle himself on the mic. Say what you will, he did the job well. When the “Let’s go, Cena!/Cena Suc...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the start of another week. So, there are some things going on but not much for me to talk about. We’ll touch on a few things and then get to the show. Ready? Here we go.   We’ll do a brief stop in the Entertainment World as Paramount doesn’t want to let Netflix have Warner Bros. Word is they planted a “hostile” counteroffer on the table for it. From what I’m hearing, it’s not more than what Netflix is throwing down but I suspect it’s more liquid. I would think that’s the only consideration but I don’t have any specifics.   If I’m Warner Bros., I wouldn’t really be open to dealing with Paramount, especially with its MAGA leanings. Warner Bros. seems to be staying out of the political fray for the most part so I can see them going thanks, but no thanks to them. I’m not sure what Paramount could do to sway them outside of leaving the political arena but we shall see. It looks like this isn’t done quite yet.   Ove...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   A Merry Monday to you! So, there’s not much to speak of so far. There are a few continuations from last week but it’s generally a slow wrestling news day so, this should be short but we’ll see. I know I can start to ramble. Given that, shall we just get to it? Let’s dive in.   The Realm of AEW seems to be doing fine as they’re preparing for their Blood & Guts event that’s to be held this week. It looks like Jon Moxley will have to watch from the sidelines as who I’ve been playfully calling “Krista’s Dad” aka Roderick Strong took him out with some help from Mox’s new bane of existence, Darby Allin.   Strong gets the monicker because he looks like someone’s dad. I wouldn’t look at him and say he’s a wrestler, but Krista’s Dad for sure 😉 I don’t know if he has kids but he has that look certainly. He’s a solid wrestler though, I’ve noticed.   This turn of events is likely to result in some retribution so, Wednesday Nig...
