WWE Musings

  Happy Memorial Day, Enthusiasts!     I hope you’re taking time to enjoy it. I’m attempting some baked ribs. I usually leave the job to someone else but with the extra time and it being a special occasion, I figured why not. May those in the midst of culinary experiments find success. As for the wrestling world, there are some grumblings. Let’s examine a few, shall we.     Well, the most eyebrow-raising piece of news is that Mark Henry signed with AEW. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. I have nothing against Henry. If he’s just sitting at home at least AEW will give him something to do but AEW is becoming the place where WWE veterans go to end their careers. Not sure that’s a precedent AEW really wants to carry but we’ll see if it ever matters. Hopefully Henry makes the best of the move. Lio Rush apparently also made a guest appearance at last night’s Double or Nothing PPV. In cases like that, I’m just glad they’re working.     In the WWE Universe, SmackDown suffere

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts! I know the bulk of us have been staying home but I’m so in the mood for this upcoming 3-day weekend.   Can’t wait to just check out.   But, before all that, we must have the bi-weekly conversation regarding the WWE Universe.   The main headlines concern the unfortunate passing of Shad Gaspard who apparently drowned after saving a child at the beach.   Word is that a riptide carried him out and that was that.   I was not familiar with this gentleman yet, these sorts of circumstances are always bittersweet because in order for someone to live, someone else had to die.   Let us hope this child understands the sacrifice and pays it forward in life.   Something else floating about is news of Jim Cornette’s response to Becky Lynch’s pregnancy.   I listened to some of the podcast and Cornette just comes off as a crotchety old man, to be honest.   If Lynch wants to go be a mom, why not?   She’s not getting any younger and if that was an aspiration of hers, now is

A Merry Memorial Day to You, Enthusiasts! May you pay your respects in peace.   So, we all know what the hot topic is today,   Jon Moxley a.k.a. Dean Ambrose made his debut with AEW and now things just got interesting.   Personally, I thought it was interesting when I heard they signed CM Punk but getting Moxley does bring intrigue, especially since it looks like this was the plan all along.    I’m not familiar with this incarnation and have nothing against it.   I feel that the only ones who really have to shake in their boots is Impact/TNA.   This will pretty much take their spot as #2, television-wise if they secure their TV deal.     I can’t imagine people would opt for it with AEW to choose from.   The WWE should be mature in their monitoring of the situation.   Ideally, I would think they would want to build an inter-brand relationship given how it has so many former employees.   This may be shunned to begin with but given these inclusive times, to construct a brazen rivalry
