WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? It’s a hot one in Southern California. No doubt it’s summer. Not complaining as it usually allows me to shed a few unintended pounds. When it comes to the Wrestling World there are things going on. AEW has its All-In PPV coming up and WWE is starting to turn up the heat for Summer Slam. There isn’t a lot for me to comment on but I got a few things. Ready for it? Here it goes. So, I had to stop by the Realm of AEW to check in on the progress of The Future and it appears to be going well. Hangman Page is doing a good job of keeping the focus in the ring and building up the anticipation for this Texas Death Match with Jon Moxley. Moxley did his talking and changed the script at the end of the main event of this week’s Dynamite . The Riders of Death joined forces with the Young Bucks and the Hooligan, Gabe Kidd and looked as if they would try to “kill” Page before the match even happened but then Swerve Strickland entered the chat. Those who know, know that Pag...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? How’s your Monday going? This has been one of the smoother ones on record for me. As for the Wrestling World, nothing really is resonating with me so, this should be a short post. Ready for it? Here we go. We’ll pitstop in the Realm of AEW to comment on some of their administrative business. There’s been talk that Britt Baker may be WWE bound but now reports are that she’s not leaving AEW anytime soon, which may be for the best. I can’t see people caring enough in the WWE Universe. Many feel she’d be a great heel but the roster is stacked and doesn’t really need someone who’s all bark, no bite. That said, we’ll see if there are any surprises at this weekend’s WWE Evolution event. Over in the WWE Universe, the talk is that the musician Jelly Roll will be working closely with WWE going forward. In what capacity has only been hinted at but the sentiment is that this collaboration should be in effect at least through SummerSlam. I have no problems with this. Je...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans. Yeah, it’s a bit of a mixed bag right now but I’ve always been in favor of the concept of this nation even though execution has always had much to be desired. Regardless, it affords me a day off and some time to relax and get acclimated to my new/temporary surroundings.   As for the Wrestling World, there’s not that much going on for me to get interested in. There’s always plenty but you know me. I’m only interested in so much. I did, however get a bit caught up with some of the goings-on in the Realm of AEW.   You may have realized that I’m only concerned with the Future and at present, that involves Adam “the Hangman” Page. This mustachioed hero isn’t having any of Jon Moxley or his Riders of Death, even if they’re lady-folk. The “shocker” was him taking out Marina Shafir this past Wednesday and it’s hard to say she didn’t have it coming. She did slap him a bunch of times 😉 Mox, ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   A Merry Monday to you. It’s hard for me to complain about it since I have it off to take care of all this settling in business. Thankfully, when I do this again, it should be less packing up and just moving and unloading and things being delivered. This is like a sort of test run for my personal future.   As for the Wrestling World, eyes were on what turned out to be a fair Night of Champions without incident and it appears everyone made it out alive so, that’s comforting. Jeff Bezos getting married appeared to be what got the most attention this past weekend.   Regardless, I was able to check in on the state of affairs in the Realm of AEW and the Future seems to be slowly but surely manifesting. Our Jon Moxley took a moment to wax poetic as he has his sights on the crybaby that is Adam “the Hangman” Page. I can’t help but focus on the moustache when it comes to Page. He looks like a cartoon character. I keep expecting it to flip...

Hey Enthusiats, Well, I've been saying I'm on the move and the move finally happened. It's not done but it's the start. I'll be moving again later in the year but this is the precursor. In any case, as you can see, that has pulled my time away from my favorite pastime. I didn't have time to even watch SmackDown.  Had to DVR it so I could catch up at my leisure. So, that's what I'm gonna do. Couldn't even check in on the Future. Let me get all caught up and I'll just see what they do with Night of Champions.  Since I've got some unpacking to do, expect me to check-in late today too. I'll see it when I see it. I'll let you know when I finally sit down and partake. Have fun and we'll talk about it on Monday. See You in a Bit, -Nicole Alexis (^_~) 

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday! So, the Wrestling World has its goings ons but per usual, I’m only interested in a few things. Shouldn’t take too much of your time. Shall we have a little chat? First, we’ll take a brief look at the Realm of AEW as they were in Mexico this week. As you may have figured by now, I’m only interested in the Future, so I had a look at the main event. The implications aren’t immediately clear other than the Riders of Death have to lose some, sometimes. I would say that this Beast Mortos guy was the most impressive, though word of him dating Mercedes Moné has prompted some curiosity. What’s under the mask?!  The joke seems to be he’s a looker but is he? 😉 From what I found online, he’s very okay and a bit thicker than I anticipated but that’s what makes this profession appealing to some. It welcomes a larger frame. In any case, let them carry on. In the WWE Universe, there are few things going on. One that may have more general attention...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? It’s kinda quiet in the Wrestling World at present. That doesn’t mean there’s nothing to talk about. We’ll just keep it short. We’ll start in the Realm of AEW as they graced fans with another 4 hours of programming this week. Naturally, I had to check in to see how the Future is progressing. It appears Adam “Hangman” Page is the next focus for the Riders of Death and Jon Moxley. They essentially kidnapped him and duct taped his mouth to pull him into the ring to tell him how it is. Didn’t stop Page from landing a headbutt, though. I thought he’d be too scrappy for all that but that’s fine. Makes the match to be all the juicier.  Mox continues to “foul balls” into the stands but it was Wheeler Yuta’s little chat with Kris Statlander that was interesting. Could this be a hint of "romance"? Or are the Riders of Death recruiting? Regardless, it’s a nice touch. At some point, this faction ought to implode but that’s certainly for the Future. Who all is...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Enjoying this Monday? I’m making the most of it. I took it off for some personal reasons. Got some stuff I have to tend to but it’s not so much that I can’t keep up with what’s going on. There’s a lot of chatter on the social media but it seems more than ever that most of it’s suspect but we’ve got some talking points anyway, so why don’t we just dive in, hmm? Here we go.   So, Money in the Bank has come and went. The highlight was the return of R-Truth or of Mr. Ron Killings as it appears we’re meant to now call him. The question of the hour seems to be how much of this was a work. Was the release a complete orchestration or was this an organic reversal due to fan pushback?   It's hard to say. I’d say that the timing of his release is a bit suspect. You could say that his match with John Cena was supposed to be the last hurrah but seeing how Killings was used just before the release, you’d think that if it was always intended, K...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Money in the Bank! So, it’s that time again and this one is very much not like any other. We’ve got these new kids that are all extremely talented and the Old Guard can’t be seen. The landscape is changing and what comes to be I can’t exactly say, but it’s that uncertainty that’s exciting. Before, that was what was missing. We all kinda knew what was gonna happen or more importantly, what wasn’t going to happen. Now, who knows. Let’s get into it. I’m just going to focus on the MITB Ladder Matches because everyone else has to make it interesting. Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria have the most work to do if you ask me. With all the other dramatics, they’re becoming an afterthought. That said, we’ll start off with the Ladies’ MITB Ladder Match. We have Alexa Bliss, Giulia, Naomi, Roxanne Perez, Rhea Ripley and Stephanie Vaquer battling for a chance to ruin a Titleholder’s day. Anyone who’s been watching for the past decade will look at this and maybe ...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Money in the Bank Eve. Well, there are a few interesting unverified reports floating around but since they’re more or less just rumor, I’m not sure I’ll comment but we have some things to chat about. Ready to get in to it? Let’s. In the Realm of AEW, they are testing their fans' level of interest as they’re having their Fyter Fest and blessing fans with 4 hours of content on Wednesday nights. We got Part 1 this week and I believe Part 2 is set for next week. I kept my ears open to any good matches to take a look at but to check on the progress of the Future, I had to see how Jon Moxley and his Riders of Death are doing.  I took a look at Mox’s match with Mark Briscoe and I have to say it’s the first time I’ve seen Briscoe’s work up front. He’s a scrappy chap. Briscoe wore the blood this time around and Mox seemed to encourage it even “sup” upon it. Disgusting . 😉 He could be said to be egging on anyone who doesn’t like it and that should b...
