WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! It’s not a particularly good one for me, just mixing up the greetings. The Wrestling World has a few grumblings but nothing is rattling the windows, so to speak but I got some stuff I can talk about so let’s get into to it. Shouldn’t take up too much of your time.   So, in the Realm of AEW, I would say that the future is coinciding with The Future if I’m reading things right. The match/segment order seemed to focus on the key players. The opener had Papa Christian and Uncle Edge in action. They should initiate Strike 2 when it’s time. Then Jon Moxley took a moment to speak to Will Ospreay in monologue in a backstage promo flanked by both PAC and Gabe “The Hooligan” Kidd. Nice use of vocab words, shall I say. Told ya he’s smarter than he looks.   The promo in itself was “telling” in a few ways. I appreciate how Mox is questioning whether Ospreay is really ready for the Big Time. He’s got points for a style that has a...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the weekend! So, there are a few things we can chat about tonight. I’ll admit they primarily concern the Realm of AEW but there’ll be some spillover into the WWE Universe. Nothing too shocking, just my take as usual but I could get a little carried away so, if you got other things you want to do, you may want to circle back. It’s my blog after all, so I’m not gonna hold back. Ready? Here we go.   In the realm, we’re seeing how the future will take shape but first a couple tributes were the focal points for this week’s Dynamite. I heard that this show was going to be a tribute show for Rebel Heart initially. She’s a lady wrestler who is stricken with ALS , but I don’t know much about her. I was shocked to see that the disease has already done a number on the poor dear. She’s wheelchair bound and is losing the ability to speak. My heart goes out to her. I can see it’s a hard disease to watch someone suffer through, especially if...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy 3-day Weekend for those in the United States. So, it is an interesting time in the Wrestling World. AEW appears to be proving that they’re no flash in the pan and may very well be here to stay as the promotion for real pro-wrestling. I think this is fine because as we all should know, WWE isn’t the best place for pro-wrestling in its purest form. It’s more about sensationalism and “fisticuffs” I would say but I prefer it so, no complaints here.   In any case, after a successful All In, the Realm of AEW had its Fallout and I would say it was respectable. They overran their 2-hour allocation and from the looks of it, it was simply allowed. I didn’t see anything that specifically needed more time. So, a nitpicker could call it “sloppy” but if Warner/Discovery doesn’t have a problem with it, that’s just unnecessary bitching.   I will say that it’s looking like “The Hooligan” Gabe Kidd is going to be “a problem” going forward. W...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the weekend! I’m sure as hell ready for it. So, this is AEW’s weekend as big things appear set to happen at All In. Most expect debuts from the New Day and possibly Ilja Dragunov. And we can’t forget the big match between Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega. I’ll touch on it, of course, before getting back to the WWE Universe which is relatively quiet.   There are debuts pending as it looks like we’ll get formally introduced to Lola Vice and Zilla Fatu in the coming days but since those who only focus on the main roster, like I do, only know of these players, we’ll have to see if we like ‘em.   That all said, let’s get into the rundown and then we can get back to closing out summer. Sound good? Here we go.   In the Realm of AEW, we had some pre-recorded Dynamite to partake of since they’re abroad at the moment. Given that AEW is prepping for the future, I kept my eyes on The Future and it mildly intrigues at present...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the weekend! So, there’s a bit to chat about. Not that much but enough to have a decent post so let’s get right into it and then go relax.   We’ll start in the Realm of AEW as the march to All In starts to ramp up to a gallop. The future is what matters at the moment but I think after All In, The Future will start coming back to the fore but for now, I appreciate the forward thinking AEW is showing.   The major point of interest is naturally the showdown between Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega. What I like about this is the way Omega plays it. At the moment, Ospreay is coming off like a hothead and Omega appears to be doing what he can to get in his head and “trigger” him. You could say that he’s being “The Heel” here but there’s a sort of Pai Mei (of Pulp Fiction fame) sensibility to it. He’s being hard on him to prompt the “next level” out of him it seems. You know, teach him a lesson.   I’ll admit, Omega appe...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! There are a few things we can chat about but this has been a kinda slow week. It’s only natural to have a lull from time to time. Makes the big events feel bigger. This should keep this a fairly short post so, let’s get into it so we can get on with our weekend. Here we go.   In the Realm of AEW, the focus is on All In at the end of the month. All the action and preparation is geared towards that. This doesn’t have too much to directly do with The Future but that’s all right. There’s plenty of time for that.   What I will say is that MJF is continuing to do his job. He is making it quite clear he can be a dick in his sleep so that’s perfect for executing Strike 1. That’s all it really needs, someone dick enough to do it.   Our Man Moxley doesn’t have any crossover business with MJF or Don Callis at the moment but that could easily change in the months to come. As for now, it looks like Jack “Jungle Boy” Per...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! Well, the Wrestling World is kinda quiet at the moment but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to talk about. I’ve noticed a couple of things but nothing I can ramble on about for too long so, this shouldn’t be that long of a post. So, let’s just have the chat and get on with our lives, shall we? Here we go.   We’ll start in the Realm of AEW. They had a bit of a field trip this week as they were down in Mexico City for an extended Dynamite. Naturally, I had my eye on The Future. I didn’t see much but that’s okay. There were more important things to establish. There’s plenty of time for The Future to develop and they should take it. What I will say is that there seems to be positivity surrounding it so, I’m glad that it is indeed looking Bright.   As for the action, what I focused on was the opener as we had all Riders of Death on deck for a Fatal-4-Way against Papa Christian, Uncle Edge and the Young Bucks. The Mexico...
