  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Getting ready for New Year’s Eve? I’m surrounded by family so, it’s not going to get that nuts but it’s the first time in a long time I've celebrated with them. We’re usually elsewhere so, I’ll make the most of being together.  As for the Wrestling World, there are a few things to talk about. Should give us a decent post. Ready to get into it? Here we go. So, in the Realm of AEW Edge/Adam Copeland made his triumphant return and as expected he set his sights on Jon Moxley and the Death Riders. I knew Copeland would be all over him. I didn’t even remember that he has no patience for the SHIELD in general. Now, Uncle Edge looks about as good as he can but we can’t forget that he’s pushing 600 years old. Though FTR have his back, will he be able to hold up and make a difference? Hard to say but we got a front runner for who may go get the taser to handle this. Things should remain palatable with Uncle Edge back in the mix. He’s got enough TV experien...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s a cold one in Southern California but nothing that those used to snow couldn’t handle. As for the Wrestling World, there’s some stuff going on but what caught my eye is more administrative. Some insight on how 2025 is gonna go. Are you up for a brief discussion? Let’s see where it goes.   We’ll stay in the WWE Universe for now as AEW’s stuff appears to be percolating. There’s an “update” on Brock Lesnar’s status going around making it seem like he’s on an unofficial retirement. Given the dirt that came up on him, it’s not surprising. You see how everyone is getting theirs for past unsavory behavior. I think he would have gotten more clemency if he was a more approachable person. His rep, in general, isn’t the best so, when dirt comes out, it’s easy to close the book on him. I don’t really think he’s needed anymore, to be honest. There was a time he served a purpose but now that WWE is finding a more engaging stride, Lesnar can...

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...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Having a fair Monday? Mine is pretty chill, to be honest. Usually a lot more going on but I’m not complaining. As for the Wrestling World, there are some things going on. Nothing to set hair on fire but enough to have a decent chat. You up for it? All right, here it goes. In the Realm of AEW, the Death Riders seem to be having a little problem with getting taken seriously. I saw Jon Moxley and company try to “poison” Orange Cassidy with Listerine and I can see why people are rolling their eyes. This is why I was suggesting things like sending Darby Allin to “Abu Dhabi”. Orange Cassidy can get boxed up and sent off instead if they like. It could be a running bit that no one can get a hold of him for a week or 2 and then he can surprise at the PPV or crash one of the Go-Home Shows looking like hell ‘cause he had to “hitchhike” his way back to the States. They can even dramatize his trials for a promo or something. The whole thing is ridiculous so they might ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   How’s it feel to be back in the swing of things? That’s for my stateside readers. For the international ones, a merry Monday to you. I hope you had a good one. Mine was busy, naturally. Everything picking back up from where we left off. As for the Wrestling World, we had a fine Survivor Series this past weekend so, without any further ado, let’s do a brief review.   Some people always gripe but I found this year’s Survivor Series was a very solid show. Sure, there were some hokey moments here and there but that comes with the territory. As far as the IWC is concerned, Match of the Night went to the Bloodline Civil War / War Games. CM Punk proved his worth but coming out and showing us how we’re supposed to go at this. Sure, it’s for play-play but it’s a competition nonetheless. Nothing wrong with some gnashed teeth. The Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat took silver with the Ladies’ War Games closing out the podium with bronze. ...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Welcome to a new week and Happy Thanksgiving to my stateside readers. We got some stuff to chat about today. Let’s not waste time and get right into it. It’s only some, so it shouldn’t take too long. Ready? Here we go! We’ll start over in the Realm of AEW as they had their Full Gear PPV over the past weekend. It’s no surprise that Match of the Night went to Will Osprey and Kyle Fletcher but it looks like Mercedes Moné and Kris Statlander took the Silver. From what snipits I could find, I can see why. Good for them! As for the Moxley Takeover tinged main event between Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy, it didn’t medal amongst onlookers but the match itself was fine. It’s everything that spilled out after that soured palettes. For what I’m looking at, I didn’t mind it. Moxley just bullied Cassidy but Cassidy hung tough. Moxley retained with help and distractions so Cassidy loses no face. Mox does have to contemplate how to make this experiment more engaging...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? A Merry Monday to you! Is it treating you well? I’ve definitely had worse, I’ll just say that. As has been the case of late, there hasn’t been the most thrilling news circulating in the Wrestling World but enough went on that we have something to have a short chat about. What do you say? Can you spare a little time? This should be quick. Well, as you noticed, I was one of many drawn in by the spectacle that was Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson. I took a look, as much as the Netflix app would allow and disappointing doesn’t even touch on what went down. The general consensus was if Tyson didn’t knock out Paul in the 1st round that would be it and it was. There was about 30 seconds at the beginning that Paul about crapped his pants but after that, it was just an old man trying to hang with a relatively young one.  The promoters should have known better. I don’t mind these cash grab matches as long as it’s worth watching. Tyson just couldn’t really go. If they’re ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   How’s this Monday, treating you? Well, as usual, there are things floating around but only a few tidbits caught my interest. Should be a short post. Up for it? Let’s get into it.   Over in the Realm of AEW, the Moxley Takeover hit a small snag this past week but it appears to be all part of the plan.  If this story ─ if it goes where I think it may go ─ is to make it to its final destination, there should be many fits and starts. Besides, why can’t Jon Moxley and Company show that they are fallible and human? We shouldn’t forget this should we or more importantly, the AEW Roster shouldn’t forget.   To advance the notion, Mox has claimed in a recent interview that this is only the beginning. He’s hitting the reset button and wiping the drive. No data kept.   Everyone will have to start from scratch. Well, since this is the beginning, I hope AEW has their backup storage options ready to go. Why should Mox have all the fun...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Did you have a chance to catch Crown Jewel VI? It was a solid show from start to finish. There really wasn’t a bad match. Some commenters may disagree but given how PPVs were hit or miss not too long ago, WWE has nothing to be upset about with last weekend’s display. It was what a wrestling show ought to be. Why don’t we talk a little about it, among other things? Most would say that GUNTHER vs. Cody Rhodes was Match of the Night though I preferred Kevin Owens kicking it old school and going ballistic on Randy Orton. I don’t know where it goes but I’m fine with Owens “keeping it real”.  Some people griped about the Bloodline Match with Roman Reigns losing clean to Solo Sikoa. Many also noted how this match had the least “wrestling” as well which should have been expected. The Bloodline and all those associated have never been great wrestlers. They are “ass-kickers” for all intents and purposes. If you’re looking to them for a fine wrestling match, you’r...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   A merry Monday to you! So, there’s not that much for me to talk about. Things are going on but nothing that’s rattling the cage enough for me to talk about it much. Given that, this should be a brief post. Care to take a little time to read through anyway? Here it goes.   Let’s begin with our brief stop in the Realm of AEW. The BCC took it a little easy this past week as Yuta Wheeler explained himself. That’s all fine and good. I hope he paves a respectable path for himself.   I’ll just close on the matter by dropping my final submission into the Suggestion Box.   Towards the end of this ordeal, I think it’s fine for people to start lightly “Dead Naming” Mox. Naturally, this should come mostly from former WWE stars but it should be kinda subtle. Like, someone saying something along the likes of “I knew a guy by the name of Ambrose who did something similar…” or “This seems like something someone called ‘Dean’ would say…” Som...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Not much is happening over here. Well, the Dodgers won the National League playoffs so, people are vibing off that at the moment on my side of town but besides that, there isn’t much to report. Kinda hot but not unusual for Southern California. As for the Wrestling World, there are a few things going on. Some of it may be a little upsetting but we should, for the most part, carry on. Let’s discuss, shall we? We’ll make a quick stop in the Realm of AEW as Jon Moxley continues his “SHIELD Vendetta”. All I’ll say is that whenever someone calls the “psychiatric hold” on him, it should be about the halfway mark of this story. I don’t know if they can drag it out over a couple of years but they should try. And whoever “turns Mox in” should be “anonymous”. It should have a “Who shot JR?” kinda feel to it. Was it Tony Khan? Chris Jericho? Renée Paquette?!? Or could it be someone in the BCC? It should drive Mox a little nuts, if you know what I mean. Also, Mox shoul...
