SmackDown Checks the Itinerary One Last Time Before Elimination Chamber...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! It’s been an okay one for me so far. Nothing worth complaining about. As usual, there could be worse things. As for the Wrestling World, there’s always something going on but I’m only interested in a few things. Let’s have a quick chat, shall we? Here we go.   There’s no real need to stop by the Realm of AEW as Uncle Edge appears to have things under control. The back and forth between him and the Death Riders is underway and he has enlisted the likes of Willow Nightengale to handle Marina Shafir. This is the sort of thing that has to happen in order to make this all interesting so, I’ll leave them to it.   In the Land of Free Agency, it appears that Aleister/Malakai Black’s return is more or less imminent. Couldn’t have given me better news. I anxiously await the day. There’s also talk that Lucha-Mitsu’s (aka Penta) brother, Rey Fenix may also be acquired by WWE soon. His look isn’t as Yoshimitsu-esque but I feel, ...

RAW Fallout - Royal Rumble 2025

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Did you enjoy the Rumble? Well, there were some things to be desired, I’ll admit but it was a good time. I have to say I had fun regardless but, yeah, there’s some things to talk about for sure. Want to get into it? Let's… So, no AJ Lee, no Becky Lynch, no Aleister Black and no Randy Orton; a lot of commenters were hoping for that one. It would seem the WWE Universe got their hopes up a bit for this one but it wasn’t a bad show in my opinion. I would say that the Ladies’ surprises were more interesting than the men’s. They pulled the trigger on Stephanie Vaquer and Giulia so that was lowkey exciting. Alexa Bliss still has her diehard fans but there were a lot of mixed responses to Charlotte Flair winning. I heard that was what was going to probably happen so, no surprises and I don’t mind it at all.  Just a brief aside to that ‘cause word came out that Charlotte and Andrade got divorced back in June so, interesting to hold that bit of info until after t...

Saturday Night: Main Event (1) - RAW Fallout...

Image
How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Welcome to a new week. So, there’s quite a bit in motion/going on. I would say it was a successful weekend for WWE and AEW seems 2 making their stuff work. Shall we have a chat about it? Let’s… First up, we’ll stop in the Realm of AEW as we see Jon Moxley and Company “dial it down” a bit and decide to jump/semi-kidnap FTR. See, that’s what I’m talking about. Have some fun. Get crazy! Give us something to watch. Not sure what the endgame is exactly, but at this point, there’s time to flesh it out. I’ll be sure to check out this “epic” Fatal-4-Way getting set-up once it’s filed away. Keep things simple for now and just go out, get nuts and have fun. If it entertains, it entertains. Don’t overthink it. Most of us aren’t that invested but we will bitch if we’re not entertained. In the WWE Universe, there are a few points of discussion. The Saturday Night: Main Event went off without a hitch and it was a fine night of wrestling. No real upsets but as we all kno...

Survivor Series / War Games - SmackDown Fallout 2024

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Enjoying your Friday? I’m doing that the best I can as well. So, there isn’t that much going on in the Wrestling World that’s worth reporting, in my opinion, so this should be a short post but we can have a brief conversation. Ready? Let’s do it. The interesting bit of news that caught my eye was an admission from Trish Stratus of late. She’s apparently a fan of Nia Jax and feels that once she’s “ragdolled” by her, Stratus can retire happily. I don’t see why that can’t happen in the near future.  I know Jax has gotten flack for throwing ladies around but that’s what you bring women like her in for. I never got the hate. To me, the smaller ladies weren’t built for the gig in general. You need some meat on you if you’re going to be taking bumps. If someone got broke there wasn’t enough meat in my opinion. Perhaps they shouldn’t have been in the match with her at all, in that case. It’s old news now but we’ll see what the future holds. So, that brin...

SmackDown Advances the March to the Royal Rumble...

Hey, How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Life treating you all right? It’s a nice afternoon and I’m ready for the evening. Who’s with me? Well, before we get into relaxing for the evening let’s see what’s going on in the Wrestling World. Let’s get this chat over with. So, NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) is going to get some airplay as it has partnered with the CW and will be showing content on their app starting in February. I’ve only heard of them so, it’s nice to see that it can be witnessed somewhere. I may check it out if only out of curiosity. It’s always good to compare and contrast from time to time. There’s always more than one way to do something. Seeing another take only broadens the overall view. Nothing wrong with this. In other news, Matt Riddle is “spilling tea” on his 2022 Royal Rumble experience. According to him, Brock Lesnar changed the script from Riddle getting the W to Lesnar taking it. I don’t remember the match but I know I watched it. Given how Riddle never really qu...

RAW Anxiously Awaits CM Punk's Choice...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Did you enjoy the weekend? I had a bit more going on than usual but enjoyed myself. As for the wrestling world, there’s not much to discuss but enough to have a brief post and chat so, let’s get into it. It shouldn’t take up too much of your time. I took a look at the Deadline PPV NXT had to offer seeing how it’s the last official offering of the year. I had some time to kill so I said, why not? There were a couple standouts in the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge. This Trick Williams certainly has some appeal though I’m not sure about the chant of his. Have a hard time seeing that on RAW or SmackDown . Being the pinnacle of the industry comes with some responsibility. I feel WWE should always err in favor of class. Leave the toilet humor and low-brow comedy for the likes of AEW. Williams will have to get something wittier than “Whoop that trick!” going but if he’s up for the big time, he should be up to the challenge. Can’t imply the beating of some phantom, ...
