WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Enjoying this Friday? I have definitely had worse ones. So, there are a few things I can chat about in the Wrestling World. There are some rumors floating around but I’ll be focusing more on observations. Are you up for it? Let’s find out.   We’ll start off in the Realm of AEW as they are preparing for the Future. I like what I’m seeing to be honest. I checked out what those Riders of Death are up to and Darby Allin as well. Allin appears to have been given the nod to usher in the Future and I’m all for it. He may be 45lbs. but he gets it.   He’s ready for this “I Quit” Match with Jon Moxley and will set the whole place on fire if he has to. Well, that’s the only thing Mox understands.   I hope they continue to have fun, just mind the limits. This can touch on the humorous but not the ridiculous. It’s a fine line, I know but things have to always go “kayfabe too far”. Remember what got me bitching in the first place. No one ...

How’s It’ Going, Enthusiasts? Enjoying your Friday? Can’t say I can complain that much. Looking forward to sleeping in 😉 But before we get to that, let’s chat a bit about this here “wrassling”. There’s not much going on but that hasn’t stopped me before. Let’s just do a brief stop in the Realm of AEW. The path to the Future appears to be in the process of being paved so, I’ll let that asphalt dry. In the meantime, it looks like WWE doesn’t care where Andrade goes next as he turned up back in AEW.  The general sentiment is that Andrade is just going where the wind blows but ideally he’d prefer to head back to WWE yet, given how the word going around that he was more or less let go, I’m not sure how feasible that is. He’s a good performer. No doubt he’s talented but alas, the WWE Universe just doesn’t seem to care. It happens. It’s a popularity contest in the end and Andrade just wasn’t that popular. Not sure that’s gonna change back at AEW but he should be more generally appreciate...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts! It’s another Happy Friday. How’s everyone doing? Well, it’s something else to be an American right now but there are some little glimmers of hope as we seem to be mostly agreed on preserving the right of Free Speech. So, I guess it’s not all bad.  As for the Wrestling World, there are few things going on. Nothing shocking, just your general rumblings but I’ve got a few things to chat about. Are you up for it? Let’s get started. So, we’ll take a brief stop in the Realm of AEW as they had their Fallout for their All Out PPV on this week’s Dynamite. I just checked in to get an update on the Future and what I saw simply reminded me of Young Frankenstein. It wasn’t bad but I am teasing a little as many may know, Darby Allin understands that Jon Moxley only understands pain and the “extreme” so he set him on fire for like 3 seconds at All Out. At the end of Dynamite , Allin came out with a flamethrower and kept Moxley and his Riders of Death on the de...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! And I suppose, Happy WrestlePalooza Eve but with all the recent happenings in the media, it’s hard to say how this will go. There’s some very compelling things going on in the U.S. right now and they may inadvertently affect the show. Shall we discuss? Here we go.   So, I wasn’t trying to get into the Charlie Kirk matter but with the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel and his show, Jimmy Kimmel Live which airs on ABC and is owned by Disney, I feel I should say something. Given that what Kimmel said was mild if only a little too soon maybe, I don’t feel he should have been pulled. If the Conservative Right is going to purport this sense of “Americanism”, they can’t trounce upon the concept of free speech. That’s the main reason why Kirk shouldn’t have been killed. The man was the epitome of ignorance but I’ll defend to the end his or anyone’s right to say what they want to say, even if it is completely idiotic.   There’s a ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday! I’ll let you in on a little secret. This may be one of the last ones I have as a “typical civilian”. My luck seems to be on the upswing but I’ll keep it to that until what’s going to be done, is in fact done. But I’ll just say I’m looking forward to living a less “encumbered” lifestyle. As for the Wrestling World there is at least 1 thing to talk about but I would like to swing by the Realm of AEW first. Shall we get into it? Allow me. Well, it looks like that new kid, Daniel Garcia is continuing to “make mistakes” as he broke and sided with Jon Moxley and his Riders of Death. The scrappy Darby Allin had to take a post match beating to confirm it. Yet, what I like most about this week’s showing is how people are responding to Mox in catering. Getting the hell out of there when he’s a coming is great for the Future. I envision a few instances when people get out of Dodge when they see him marching through. That’s why it all “falls apart” as it ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday! So, the Wrestling World has a few things going on. Many of us are “getting our arms twisted” with having to pick up the ESPN app. I’ll probably breakdown next week but I got to see where I can streamline first. Probably going to let Peacock go but we’ll see if it can be saved. It does have some decent content outside of WWE. Yet, I digress. Let’s get into this week’s action. In the Realm of AEW all seems to be going nicely as Darby Allin appears to have put all 45 pounds of himself into becoming a one man wrecking machine against the Riders of Death. He dragged off “The Hooligan”, Gabe Kidd in a body bag hitched to the back of a truck so he means to make an example of anyone he can get his hands on. Meanwhile, Jon Moxley has his eye on recruiting the “naive” Daniel Garcia. Not sure he’s the type to break but stranger things have happened. All in all, this is great for the Future because currently no one has eyes on it which is absolutely perfe...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Well, there are some things to talk about but we’ll only focus on a few. I think you probably have an inkling so, why delay. Let’s hop right in. Out in the wilds of the Indies, that incident with Raja Jackson appears to be realer than many may have thought. It got general news traction so something wasn’t right. Apparently, there was some sort of “interaction” backstage that may have led to Jackson going as far as he did. That doesn’t condone the action but it explains what we saw.  Personally, I think this might have been a publicity stunt gone wrong. Jackson being the son of a decorated UFC fighter, I can see why they’d want to display him as “no joke” but the takedown wasn’t done properly and whatever buzz they tried to get going, turned into outrage. That’s where the kid being green comes into play, I would say. Regardless, it forces Rikishi to reevaluate how to move forward. You live and learn, no matter your age. Regarding the Realm of AEW, I went...

How’s It Going Enthusiasts?   There are some things to chat about but what it concerns is more about digital logistics than wrestling. Shall we just get into it? Shouldn’t be a long post ‘cause of that. Let’s go.   So, that ESPN deal that forces us all to reconsider our streaming services has dropped early. Instead of having until 2026 to think about it, we’re being forced to make a decision now. Things are a lot easier for international viewers but for those of us stateside, we have some decisions to make.   I may have to cancel and resubscribe to HULU under the Disney+ Bundle to make this work for me. I get HBO through them but I could get that through another service I stream so I may just do that to make this make some sense. Looks like Peacock will keep some WWE content so it’s not an either or situation anymore. We’re being forced to consider how we get our fix.   Some commenters are still out mainly due to the point I brought up previously. It’...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Glad to see the weekend? I know I am. Well, there are some interesting rumblings going on in the Wrestling World. A couple have my eye particularly so, this shouldn’t be that long of a post but they should be decent talking points. Shall we get into it? Let’s. The first order of business appears to be the rumor of WWE on some sort of quest to end AEW. I keep seeing conversations and posts on the subject and to me, this seems a little ridiculous. If it were 20-25 years ago, no doubt. I wouldn’t be remotely surprised. WWE was more petty and spiteful then. But nowadays, I’m not sure what the point is.  I think we can safely say that WWE “won” whatever battle for supremacy there may have been. Other promotions have come and gone and the smaller ones remain smaller and less popular, AEW included though I appreciate how it has become the alternative. I still can’t bring myself to watch regularly but I’ll sit through a good match and of course I feel I ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? It’s a mixed bag of a week, isn’t it? Some stuff to consider generally speaking. The Wrestling World is more or less quiet but there are some changes coming down the pike that will certainly force us to think about what’s worth spending money on. We’ll get in to that in a little bit but let’s have our little chat. We’ll make a stop in the Realm of AEW as we didn’t so much get glances at the Future but we did see how the present is moving along. The Riders of Death are still messing with people. Mike “Speedball” Bailey had to do what he had to, to survive against Jon Moxley and though he took the L, he was impressive. He’s got Babyface written all over him so I didn’t mind the uphill battle he tried to climb. It wasn’t exactly fair but we all know it’s not gonna be. That’s why Darby Allin had to throw some action in. That kid has been growing on me and his latest stunt continues to lead me to give him consideration. He “kidnapped” an interfering Wheeler Yuta...
