Wrestling Musings on Wax

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s kinda quiet this week so I don’t have that much to talk about but I have some things to relay so let’s get into it. Why dally?   In the rogue City-State of MLW they’re preparing for their PPV Super Fight. Not very imaginative but I can respect it just sticking to the meat of the matter. There, the controversial Tessa Blanchard is set to debut.   I don’t know much about her other than her views are less than popular on certain subjects but I haven’t witnessed anything personally so, I can’t really comment but I have noticed that MLW doesn’t seem to mind picking up the industry’s miscreants. I guess time will tell if this a good acquisition for the city-state or not.   As for last week’s action, the Glasgow Boys member Wolfgang took on Beastman and that was far more entertaining than you’d think. Beastman embraces the gimmick and acts as if he retires to a cave somewhere after each show. They paired him with a masked ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Halloween Week! The Wrestling World is kinda quiet at the moment so this shouldn’t be that long of a post but I’ve got a few things to talk about so, let’s not delay. Here we go.   In the rogue City-State of MLW they made the most of their hour. The match of note had Lady Frost again up against Saya Kamitani of H.A.T.E. over from Stardom. We got to see more of what Kamitani is about and I like these 女達 . They’re young but they get it. They got my vote of approval. The Coffey Boys do too even if you need subtitles sometimes. I love that sort of thing. Bring it on!   In the Realm of AEW, Collision seemed to serve as the Jay White show at least for the opening and closing. One of the first orders of business was to retire the “Bang Bang Gang” which is nothing but a good idea. Yet, the new tag of the Last Outfit seems to have already gotten switched out for The Cut. Most commenters aren’t sold on either but the majority seem t...

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...

How Are You Doing, Enthusiasts?   This week starts off on a dreadful note. As you all know Benjamin Satterley, better known as PAC or Neville for those who never watched AEW, has passed. To say I’m shocked is an absolute understatement and the IWC is reeling . Finally, some details are coming out about his passing and they don’t provide much solace other than it’s looking like it wasn’t a suicide but it does allude to something physiological was not right.   Early reports are stating that Satterley was found unresponsive in a car outside a restaurant outside of Chicago. It sounds like he was found by restaurant employees and the authorities were then called to the scene. From what I can gather, it sounds like EMTs were unable to revive him.   I’m a little surprised he was alone. I’m not sure how late this was and I’ve read that he often travels back to England so, perhaps this is his own after-show ritual. It just paints a more realistic picture. Never forget ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to another week. Well, it’s fairly quiet on the wrestling front at the moment so this should be a short post. But it does appear that the future should provide quite a bit to chat about 😉 Let’s just take it one day at a time.   Over in the Realm of AEW, the Riders of Death had another big night. Our Man Jon Moxley had main event duty while PAC tried on a more concentrated version of his persona. Seems like the masses don’t mind this particular focus.   PAC faced a guy from Alabama by the name of Adam Priest who put up a decent fight. They’re both stocky gentlemen so, at a glance it appeared well matched. Priest did what he could but it seemed pretty clear that PAC is angling for the next level which is fine. He’s got the respect and the skill to back it up so, you’ll hear no complaints from me. PAC got the job done and then it was up to fellow Rider, Daniel Garcia.   Not surprisingly, Garcia was not so lucky as...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to a new week! So, there’s not that much going on in the Wrestling World but there are a few points that grabbed my interest so, we’ll chat a little about that but this shouldn’t go on for too long. Not much going on after all. In any case, let’s get into it.   In the Realm of AEW, last week’s Collision had plenty of Riders of Death action. Jon Moxley roughed up a gutsy Mike “Speedball” Bailey. The Dogs borrowed PAC to take out the Bang Bang Gang and Daniel Garcia finally picked up a W in the realm’s Memorial Battle Royale for Andy “The Butcher” Williams.   However, what stuck out was the “pep talk” Mox gave Clark “Pantene ProV” Connors. Connors has great hair, so far that’s the most that I’ve noticed of him but he runs with The Dogs and had some questions as to why Gabe “The Hooligan” Kidd is taking orders from Mox. Is he a Dog or a Rider? Well, Mox made it clear it doesn’t matter what he is. People came here to see a s...
