WWE Musings

Happy New Year, Enthusiasts!   Ready for a new year in the Wrestling World? I wouldn’t say it’s my life but it’s definitely an important pastime for me. 2025 is a 9 Year for you numerologists out there so, this should be a year of completion for a few things. As you can see, RAW will be on Netflix this year, officially making it a part of the modern era and tonight SmackDown will commemorate being 3 hours for the foreseeable future. And so, minor but as you can see, it more or less illustrates my point. Things won’t be the same in some areas this year. We’ll see how that plays out overall.   As for tonight’s post, we’ll start over in the Realm of AEW. With Adam Copeland/Uncle Edge back in the mix, I feel that things can be left to him to steer for a little while, especially since he can tout an Emmy Nomination at present. Something that this sort never seriously hope to achieve so, there’s some clout for everyone to chew on. With his insight at their disposal the Deat...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Hope your Christmas went well if you celebrate. For all others, a Happy New Year to you. I hope you’re enjoying Winter or Summer if you're in the Southern Hemisphere. I’ve been light on the Wrestling World due to all the festivities and family bonding. Yet, there are a couple things we can chat about. Are you up for it? Let’s get into it. So, WWE Management is supposedly kicking around some ideas for matches for John Cena and Logan Paul came up as a possible opponent. Word is that no one likes the idea of this at WrestleMania ‘cause that’s a sucky way to go out. Personally, I don’t mind the idea of Cena vs. Paul but it doesn’t need to be at Mania. It doesn’t even have to be on a PPV. I would be fine with it at a Fallout show. And I’d like to see Cena get the best of him but due to being a seasoned veteran. Not because of any physical prowess or what have you. He should just “out wrestle” Paul. Paul can talk his shit and all that. Lean on Cena being ol...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Enjoying your Friday? I hope so. I have some self-care plans for the weekend so, why not start now. As for the Wrestling World, there are some things we can chat about. Not much has me captivated but we can have a decent conversation nonetheless. Are you up for it? Let’s do it. First, we’ll take a brief look at the Realm of AEW to see how Jon Moxley and crew took last week’s notes. Well, this week’s efforts were definitely more entertaining, I’ll give ‘em that. Mox was slipping into…familiar tones if I may say. All I’ll add is remember the timing. Though I love to see Dean Ambrose break through, I hope Mox paces himself.  If something “epic” is in the works, not popping off too soon is critical. Unless, he manages to make that part of the whole thing. Not impossible but this is new territory. Best not to get too experimental. But do have fun and push boundaries. What I saw was fun but it could lead to “dissension”. Only go there if the story is fleshed ...

  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...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? For those who celebrated, did you enjoy Thanksgiving? Have to say that it was all that it should have been for my set, food, family and friends. It was a successful evening if I may say so myself. Given the holiday vibes, this post will be brief but we can kick around a few things. Let’s get to it. So, we’ll skip the Realm of AEW this week as they appear to be laying the foundation for bigger and better things for the time being and so we’ll leave them to it. As for the WWE Universe, there appears to be a few things going on. It is Go-Home week despite the holiday. Cody Rhodes got some visibility as he was a guest on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon this week. Fallon is a WWE affiliation as he tends to always welcome its stars on the show. Looks like it was Rhodes’ turn this time. He managed to get some digs on Kevin Owens while promoting this weekend’s PPV.  On the grapevine, there’s word that the plan for bringing Drew McIntyre back to the fold is ...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? How’d the week treat you? Meh, it wasn’t that exciting on my end but as usual, just glad it’s over. As for the Wrestling World there are some grumblings but per usual, not that it moved me much, but we have a few things to kick around. Ready? Here we go. First, we’ll stop in the Realm of AEW and check in on this Death Riders Domination. I guess the bigger news is that Toni Storm is “retiring” from pro-wrestling. Given the nature of this disclosure, it’s pretty clear it’s a work of some sort so, we’ll let the lady do her thing.  As for Jon Moxley’s crew, I like how both Darby Allin and Orange Cassidy are doing what they can to slow down their train. Someone has to 😉 Yet, in both cases, my case and point was kinda proven. Regardless, I’ll just start with how both Allin and Cassidy are proving their chops and kinda growing on me in the process. Allin, though a solid 45lbs. wet, just won’t quit and Cassidy is a solid worker. He may have made it up t...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday! So, it’s not the most exciting week. There’s stuff going on but nothing setting the world on fire. This should be a fairly short post, so if you have a few minutes to spare, feel free to continue to read through. Let’s see what’s caught my eye. We’ll stop first in the Realm of AEW as the Moxley Takeover is in full effect but what I liked about this past week was how other players got some more visibility. I have to say Darby Allin jumping on the Death Riders from the top of the entryway was fun to watch. See, if you’re gonna descend from the sky it might as well be on top of someone. Why go through all the drama for no effect? Also, Claudio Castagnoli aka Cesaro was subtly humorous contradicting Wheeler Yuta. I hope that was just a dash of foreshadowing, but we’ll see. Castagnoli also demonstrated what he brings to the table, as we all know that though he is leanly built, he’s one of the strongest in the Industry pound-for-pound. When the Ride...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Well, there’s stuff going on, but I’ll be honest. It’s an uncertain time in the United States of America. I’ll give a little personal insight to start and then we’ll happily escape into the Wrestling World. I just feel I have to offer a take on this whole thing. Now, for my international readers, let me just say that Americans, generally speaking, have never been known for their smarts and this year’s election proved why unfortunately. Middle America has this idea/concept of America that I as a female person of color could never fully relate to. I see all too often the hypocrisy and unfairness. So, when Donald Trump first came through with this whole “Make America Great Again” concept, I never really understood to what he was referring.  I’m supposing it’s some Baby Boomer sentiment of when things were cheap and plentiful. You could happily and relatively easily go about buying your house with the picket fence, have your 2.5 kids and leave your front do...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday! So, there are few things going on. Some of them a little bittersweet but there’s enough to get a decent chat going. Up for it? Let’s do it. So, let’s just swing by the Realm of AEW for a moment to check in on the Moxley Takeover. Looks like they had some fun this past week on Dynamite with Darby Allin dropping from the rafters. Personally, I’d have him do that on top of someone but I can understand the safety issues with that. I also liked how Orange Cassidy presented his case and how Wheeler Yuta used himself as bait. I can understand him sticking to the devil he knows with Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan out for the time being. Where else would he go?  As for the man of the hour in Jon Moxley himself, I think these in-between times would be best used to implement some “charm”. If this is gonna go for a year or 2, this has to remain engaging. So, during the “lulls”, perhaps this is a time to show what he has to offer. Maybe elaborate more on...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! Well, it’s a busy night in Southern California as all sorts of things are going on tonight. The Lakers have a game. World Series, Game 1 is on and there are few other events that have the streets set to be all jammed up in a few hours. I’ll be safe inside but good luck to all those out there in the thick of it.   As for the Wrestling World, there are some things rattling around but I’m only going to talk about a few of them. Are you up for it? Let’s get into it.   I’ll take a quick pit stop in the Realm of AEW as I do have my eyes on the BCC/Jon Moxley “usurpation” of AEW. I saw that “disclaimer” they were using for this week’s Dynamite warning everyone of Mox’s expected presence and I would have only used that in the locker room. There’s something about this angle that seems best not forced. Given the tone of the fan comments I’ve been seeing, most aren’t really sure where this is going or if they even like it so,...
