How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Independence Day Weekend! I know that comes with some very mixed emotions in the United States but I’ll just say this. This country is a living experiment of the concept of Freedom. Note how that is more nuanced than simply doing what one wants. The conflicts we face stem from some feeling what they desire is better than what others desire. Freedom ultimately comes down to what works for society. We should be free to live. Free to prosper. What ultimately matters is that the method is effective. Remember, that can take many different forms and that requires tolerance and civility. We are entitled to our preferences but when one’s preference must become imposed, the point of Freedom is lost. Endeavor to live freely with all the trappings and intricacies that can create if you want this experiment to prove successful.   As for the Wrestling World, things appear to be a lot simpler but there is a lot of speculation wafting through the ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! Well, there are a few things we can chat about this Night of Champions Eve but it’s not that much really. I shouldn't blather on for too long but it may be engaging. I could lose myself a bit. Guess we’ll see. Let’s just jump right in.   Over in the Realm of AEW, preparation is in full swing for Forbidden Door this Sunday. My primary focus is on the Future and technically what I’m seeing appears to be continued foundation laying. I won’t go into too much detail because the point is the Future but I will say that I can see that the set up is in place. It’s comforting and exciting. I’m getting a little insight in how this business can be respectably conducted and it’s nice to see. When things get going…it’ll be rightfully nuts and some people can get left by the wayside. I can see there’s thinking of how the future will proceed as well.   That said, MJF and Don Callis continue to nail their side of the assignment so, ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Juneteenth! Not exactly sure how to properly celebrate just yet but you know, show your humanitarian side and just try to educate yourself. Always a good start. As for the Wrestling World, there’s nothing too crazy going on but I have a few things I can speak on. Shouldn’t take too long. Ready? Here we go.   Over in the Realm of AEW, things appear to be moving along nicely. MJF and Don Callis continue to establish themselves and are appropriately unconcerned with the Future. Too busy doing what they do best apparently which is all fine and good. It’s exactly what they should be doing.   I caught the big old 12-Man-Tag that seemed to be set to put that onery Mark Briscoe in his place. I’d say the best spot was between Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita. Fletcher is more technical but I appreciate Takeshita’s realistic style and they have good chemistry so, they won if you ask me 😉   Meanwhile the Riders of Death ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the weekend! Well, there’s some rumblings going on in the Wrestling World but I wouldn’t say it’s anything too exciting but there are some talking points that have definitely gained my interest. This shouldn’t take too long but I’m not going to restrict myself so, we’ll see where we end up. Shall we?   In the Realm of AEW the Future appears to be in its infancy. This week’s Dynamite definitely had some encouraging signs. The most promising of which being Don Callis and MJF. So far, they're exactly where they should be. No notes. They understand the assignment and are on it. As you were, gentlemen. I knew I had MJF pegged right. When this gets going, it should be a lot of fun.   As for Our Man Moxley, he had himself an Ohio Showdown with Shane Taylor, frontman for what I now see is Shane Taylor Promotions (STP). I guess they’ll be dropping some diss tracks soon 😉 In the meantime, he had to serve up an ass-whooping to...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   A Happy Friday to you. There’s not that much to discuss at the end of this week but there’s enough for a short chat. I won’t take up too much of your time. So, without anymore ado, let’s get into it.   In the Realm of AEW, a couple things of note transpired. There was the return of Mercedes Moné for one. This doesn’t do much for me but I took a look at her match to see if we’re missing out on anything. She’s solid in the ring. I will give her that, but I have no desire to see a WWE return. She’s just too small for me.   Being petite doesn’t stop the ladies. There are the likes of Alexa Bliss and Liv Morgan just to name a few but they are a little crazy or cheat. Their gimmicks, presentation make up for the lack of stature. I don’t know why I accept it more. I mean, I don’t really, but it works enough that I don’t complain.   With Moné, she leads with the prowess in the ring, as she should, however what’s to stop a larger...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the weekend. So, there are few things we can chat about. Not exactly about the recent rumblings but we can touch on a few things there as well. If anything, there were a few observations I’d like to reflect on and then we can get into our tape-delayed action. You ready? Let’s do it.   We’ll start in the Realm of AEW as I was curious to see how Lio Rush was doing with his new “unbalanced” gimmick and wasn’t I delighted to see him going with the “Midnight Bomber” touch. This is why I always suggest humor. It’s the sugar that helps the medicine go down.   I’m glad. I get what he’s trying to do but you gotta entertain first and foremost and now I think he can just have more fun with it overall. Have a blast freaking people out.   Elsewhere in the realm, glimmers of the Future seem to be presenting themselves. The current in-house protagonist, Kenny Omega, had some concerns for Will Ospreay. Omega understands. The ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! Goodness, this has been an eventful week, hasn’t it? Well, it appears to be ending on a more hopeful note but there’s a lot going on outside of the Ludwig Kaiser/El Grande Americano II incident. This is probably gonna be a long post so, perhaps get into it after the show. This Memorial Day Weekend is jam packed! Let’s break it down.   We’ll start in the Realm of AEW as they’re getting ready for their Double or Nothing PPV that’s going down on Sunday. They had a double-header show this week holding both Dynamite and Collision together. Per usual, I’m overseeing The Future and if I didn’t know better, we got our first tastes of what’s to come in the Part 1 of the showdown between Kyle O’Reilly and Jon Moxley. As we know, O’Reilly ain’t scared of Mox. If anyone’s got Mox’s number, it’s O’Reilly so this was a loaded match in that respect. It was no surprise that it went the distance and I appreciated how O’Reilly had no problem ...
