WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It was a fairly eventful weekend at least for the Realm of AEW. There are some things I’d like to chat about but for the most part this should be a straightforward post. Shouldn’t ramble on for too long but that’s why to do this sectionally. You can skip bits if you wish 😉   Let’s do a quick trip through the rogue City-State of MLW. I saw Shotzi Blackheart retain her Women’s Championship over Lady Frost which confused me a bit ‘cause I heard she signed with TNA. Can she work both? MLW seems kinda open-ended like that and TNA knows it doesn’t pay the big bucks so I wouldn’t be surprised if they let their wrestlers hustle. Honorable mention to the Coffeys as well. They’re some mean, no-nonsense Scots.   Over in the realm, the big deal was WrestleDream and it appears that Our Man Jon Moxley stole the show as only he could. This was prefaced with word coming out on the cause of death for the dearly departed Benjamin Satterley aka PA...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   How’d you like Money in the Bank? Yeah, it wasn’t the most exciting PPV but it was cleanly executed, for the most part, I’ll give them that. There have been worse so, I’m not going to harp on it too much but I can understand the general chatter of it being “subpar” but only in its lack of creativity. I’ll get into that later. It was a sort of eventful weekend so, let’s have the discussion. I agree with some of the sentiments out there but not all.   We’ll start off in the Independent Wilderness as I was introduced to the village of House of Glory (HOG) Wrestling this weekend. It popped up in my feed. Mainly due to Tommaso Ciampa taking a little break from AEW to main event counter to this Charles Mason fellow. Not sure the kids know what the moniker references but do your research. The real dude was…something. I can see why Mason aligns himself with such company, you could definitely say he plays “psychopathic”.   Naturally, I wa...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to a new week. There’s not too much going on in the Wrestling World so I shouldn’t go on for too long but I won’t limit myself either. This is like my stream of consciousness blog so, I’ll talk about whatever comes to mind but at the same time, I don’t want to bore anyone who does swing through. I’ll keep to the point, whatever it ends up being.   In the rogue City-State of MLW, there were some interesting action to say the least. The beauty of not watching live means you can fast forward through undesirable bits and that will be any segments including Matt Riddle for me. That said, I didn’t watch much of the opening but I know that Riddle and Karrion Kross are slated for Tag Team action this week. I’ll watch the match but I’m not sitting through anything else with him in it. That’s how I’ll boycott here.   As for the standouts, I got a look at Stardom’s offering in H.A.T.E who are comprised of Rina and Saya Kamitani. The...

Happy Monday, Enthusiasts!   I hope Thanksgiving treated you well. For those of you who don’t celebrate the tradition, I hope your weekend was splendid. There are a few rumblings in the world of wrestling but nothing too exciting. I think last week was a little more eventful but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to talk about. Let’s get to it, shall we?   So, not too much of a surprise, AEW took a bit of a hit last Wednesday ratings-wise. Most of us stateside had other plans, myself included. I don’t watch Dynamite regularly so that drop had nothing to do with me but this is generally the case come the Holidays. Now, I would try to hype days like this up more for both AEW and WWE. I felt the pandemic really highlighted the pitfalls of WWE because with all these people sitting at home, they still couldn’t draw people to watch. I think they did the best that they could with what they had but that’s not saying much. They’re only scratching the surface of their own potenti...
