WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Day 2. Well, I liked Night 1, to be honest. It wasn’t a complete high or low but it advances the current state of affairs cohesively so…I’m not going to complain.  I personally thought GUNTHER vs. Seth Rollins was Match of the Night and that’s kinda not a surprise. Also wasn’t all that surprised with Bianca Belair’s pregnancy news either. That explains everything actually. Her “finger” has been “healing” way longer than 2 months.  I have to also acknowledge that I did pretty well calling how this was gonna go. Look at this long enough and the patterns emerge. I didn’t hate the finish to the main event. Cody Rhodes played a little dirty but only in terms of keeping up with the Game. Randy Orton is off his meds so anything is “fair play”.  They both end up “wearing red” but I found it unnecessary, though I appreciate the experiment with character development for Orton. He’s the proverbial lion with a thorn in his paw when wounded. Until th...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Welcome to WrestleMania 42. On paper we should be thoroughly entertained but it’s always a crapshoot as to whether we actually will be or not. Both nights have 7 matches scheduled so we’ll be close to sick of wrestling by the end and then still have to watch RAW on Monday. This is work sometimes, I tell ya 😉  In any case, I’m looking at 3 matches tonight. Let’s see if they have a chance of living up to their expectations. The first one is Becky Lynch vs. AJ Lee. This one is interesting for all sorts of reasons, the main one being that most would never had figured Lee would return to WWE.  Personally, I’ve noticed that WWE has a history of welcoming back wrestlers if there’s enough interest in it and in some cases if someone just needs a job so, it’s no surprise in that respect. But given the circumstances she left under, it was hard to tell if there was any ill will. Yet, apparently enough water has passed under the bridge for this to make...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy WrestleMania Weekend! Well, say what you will about the lead up, I’m mildly intrigued. Some plans haven’t worked out others did splendidly so, we’ll see what we get. I’m staying cautiously optimistic but I have personal incentive to make it a good time regardless so, I should have fun.   As for the Wrestling World, it looks like most promotions are getting out of the way. AEW aired Dynamite and Collison on Wednesday and Thursday respectively so there’s no competition. On both nights of WrestleMania, the first hour will be shown on the ESPN network so if you got Live TV streaming or cable, you can at least partially partake if you don’t have the app. It should be an eventful weekend, come what may.   Circling back to the Realm of AEW, we got some crumbs for the Future as we saw Jon Moxley take on the “16-year-old” in Nick Wayne on Collision. Wayne went ahead and had his Mother by his side. Mox wasn’t in action on Dynamite ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Enjoy the weekend? I made the most of mine. As for the Wrestling World, there are a few things to chat about but not much so this shouldn’t be that long of a post. Let’s get to it so we can get on with the evening, shall we?   In the Realm of AEW, they had their Dynasty PPV and naturally I partook to see if there were any implications for the Future. From what I could gather, in character development only but this is not a bad thing. It’s still early yet and understanding our players better informs us of what’s to come.   When it comes to Jon Moxley and Will Osprey it is a matter of Moxley being a man of his word. He warned Osprey throughout the set up for this match that he would let Osprey do all the work and Osprey just “didn’t hear him” and did himself in. One could say the match was won from the onset but when Osprey decided to “take his time” as opposed to dispatch of Mox, the mistake was made right there.   Osprey...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday. So, there’s not all that much going on. Well, not a lot for me to comment on but you know, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. AEW prepares for Dynasty this weekend while WWE sets the final pieces on the stage for WrestleMania so it’s like a quiet before the storm. There are a few things I can chat about, though so let’s get to it then to our weekend.   Over in the Realm of AEW, it appears Will Osprey took Jon Moxley’s advice and “used his head” by flying in some back up to help him deal with the Riders of Death. He got his lady love, Alex Windsor along with Francesco Akira, Henare and Callum Newman to arrive just in time while he was taking it to Moxley in the Parking Lot on this week’s Dynamite. And then they went at it officially at the end of the show in a big ole 4-on-4 Match.   This was a lot of fun. And, if I didn’t know better, I’d say Osprey is beginning to have fun without the numbered canvas. See, it’s ni...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   A Merry Monday to you. I hope you had nice Easter weekends, regardless of whether you celebrate. The Wrestling World seems to have taken a little break to honor the religious holiday so, there’s not much for me to chat about but there’s a few things we can discuss. Ready to knock this out? Let’s get to it.   In the Realm of AEW, we just have a little more information on Chris Jericho’s return. Long story short, word going around is WWE was only interested in a retirement run and clearly Jericho feels there’s still life in him so, AEW it is. We’ll see what happens when he’s ready to hang it up but for now, expect him to pop up on AEW and its affiliates as he and their Powers that Be see fit.   In the WWE Universe, the talk concerns the return of Pat McAfee. It’s supposed to explain at least one of the voices in Randy Orton’s head. What’s winding down the grapevine is this is at TKO’s request. Given the partnership with ESPN and pe...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Good Friday, regardless of your belief system. Easter is special to me because I am an “Easter Baby”. I was born on an Easter Weekend 😊 So, happy birthday to all the other Easter Babies out there! We’re a special breed.   In any case, as far as the Wrestling World is concerned, there are some things going on. Enough for me to have a decent chat so let’s get into it and then you can go off to your weekend, whatever you choose to do with it.   In the Ream of AEW, the big news is the return of Chris Jericho. He greeted the Dynamite Crowd in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and then left it to everyone else to have a great show. From what I witnessed it was a solid show. I checked in on the PAC vs. Will Osprey match and it worked out much like I thought. PAC is a little beast , I tell ya. He’s made of different stuff, which is why it’s hard for me to accept his losses but we’ll just say he “got ahead of himself” this time around a...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to Monday. There’s not a lot going on in the Wrestling World but there’s a few things we can chat about regardless. That said, this should be a short post so, let’s get on with it so we can get on with the week.   Over in the Realm of AEW, there’s not much to speak of. The Riders of Death had some business to take care of on last week’s Collision as they allowed Daniel Garcia to say hello and good-bye to his former cohorts in Private Party (PP). The Riders wiped off any smiles PP had on their faces and then proceeded to turn their attention to Will Osprey.   Looks like PAC will have at him for free on TV time as he and Osprey are set to battle on this week’s Dynamite . I feel I have to watch on principle but we’ll see if this remains straightforward. I think my point will be proven once this display is witnessed and then the question comes as to whether Osprey decides to drop the numbered canvas and just box or “somethin...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Well, I got back into my original blog. Can’t say what happened but I’m glad to be back to my usual blog space. I got a lot of content on here 😉 I may switch over to II in the future but just not yet. Had to do what I had to do in this particular situation.   In any case, there are few things that caught my eye this week. Nothing too crazy. I see that Roman Reigns was on The Tonight Show last night but I didn’t catch any of that. Never do. I don’t know. I feel I have to limit my wrestling intake still. I’m a fan but not that much of a fan. They have me twice a week and on PPVs so that’s enough, right? Besides, I was taken in more by what was going on in the Realm of AEW.   As you’ve gathered, I’m monitoring the formulation of the Future and this week didn’t have much to directly do with it but that’s the point. It’s not outwardly supposed to. Nevertheless, the Riders of Death were at work against the mixed team of SkyFlight. ...

Back where it belongs 😉 How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the official workaround for my blog. For some reason, I can’t access my usual Blogger Dashboard. I’ve inquired and the bug has been reported but no solution yet so, I just created a new one. The  previous blog  is still accessible, I just can’t make any updates and such. There is currently no landing page for me to work on. So, feel free to refer back to the old blog at your leisure but until the issue is resolved, all new content will be posted here.   Thankfully, there’s not much going on at present as the Riders of Death had business down in Mexico and we’re still digesting last week’s  SmackDown.  It went down easy enough but you could say that they may be dovetailing a bit off of AEW. Not to say the Jacob Fatu's and Drew McIntyre's car crash rivaled Darby Allin’s and Gabe Kidd’s but you could make the further conjecture that WWE affiliates are watching the AEW product. I wouldn’t worry ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   I can understand if it’s a bittersweet Friday as many of us mourn the loss of Chuck Norris. I have to say that I didn’t care much for him in my youth. He seemed a corny alternative if you were a true Martial Arts/Action movie fan. I was more interested in Jet Li back then and to a lesser degree Jackie Chan but over the years, especially when the Chuck Norris jokes started, my stance on him softened. And so, I will start with a soft tribute to him by sharing the 5 jokes I found the funniest. Then we’ll get into the usual business. Top 5 Chuck Norris Jokes   Chuck Norris is so tough, when exposed to the Coronavirus, the virus was in quarantine for a month. Chuck Norris is so tough he can start a fire with an ice cube. When Chuck Norris does division, there are no remainders. Chuck Norris once kicked a horse in the chin. Its descendants are now known as giraffes. The only time Chuck Norris was ever wrong, was when he thought he had made a mi...
