SmackDown Sees What Else Is Going On...

Image
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...

SmackDown Fallout - SummerSlam 2026

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...

SmackDown Kicks Any Stragglers Out for SummerSlam...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to SummerSlam weekend! So, there’s plenty to talk about in the Wrestling World. AEW prepares for the future while WWE solidifies its own. While they do this, We the Audience have some mixed emotions about the whole affair. Naturally, there are more complaints in the WWE Universe but I may have a theory on that. In any case, let’s get into it. I’ll try not to bore you but I’m gonna say what I’m gonna say.   In the Realm of AEW, things have been interesting, I’ll admit. The Redemption Fallout has produced some intrigue. Though I can comment on much, what I’ll focus on is what gained the most of my attention. With this being SummerSlam Eve, AEW didn’t try to compete so they had back-to-back Dynamite and Collision episodes. We knew that Will Ospreay renouncing his affiliation to the Riders of Death would have repercussions but they weren’t exactly what we were expecting, though PAC would have gladly gone there. What caught my attenti...

SmackDown Tidies Up So We Can Get On with SummerSlam...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the weekend. So, there’s not all that much going on in the Wrestling World that I feel the need to talk about but I got a few things to chat about but I’ll try to keep to the point. Want to get to my weekend like everyone else 😉 Let’s dive in, shall we?   Over in the Realm of AEW, they are steadily preparing for the future as they are getting their top talent in place. I heard the match between Darby Allin and Kevin Knight was good so, I checked it out. I concur. It was a fine display. Allin is certainly coming along and I respect and commend the improvement. You can’t say he isn’t working on it.   I’m unfamiliar with Knight but he made a good impression. He’s trying to make it clear that though he is a member of the Don Callis Family, he doesn’t need them to rig the game. He can win on his own. Noted.   I also see that the Callis Family may be getting “too big for its britches” as there appears to be some i...

SmackDown Sets the Scene for SNME...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! Bed is gonna feel good tonight, I know it. But before that there’s a few things we can discuss concerning the Wrestling World. Most of it isn’t anything new but it should give me at least 1,000 words to type so let’s get on with it. Everyone wants to get to their weekend.   In the Realm of AEW, the pieces for the Future are being subtly laid. I wouldn’t suspect a thing so that’s promising. I can see that a clash for Papa Christian and Uncle Edge could be on the horizon as they have some business with the Riders of Death. Also, I noticed that the showdown between Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay could potentially be derailed by Kevin Knight as Omega and Knight are set to box later in the month. Knight now affiliated with the Don Callis Family could present an opportunity to “screw” Omega over but as I keep saying, that is not necessary just something to keep in mind should they want to supplement Omega’s wrestling lore.   ...

SmackDown Keeps Its Head Down. Does Its Job...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to the weekend. Well, there’s not much to report but I’ve got a couple things to talk about. It’s an interesting time in the Wrestling World, I think. I’m sure many have some things to gripe about but when is that not the case. I don’t think there’s been a time there wasn’t someone bitching but it is what it is. In any case, this could go a little long but I hope it’s captivating enough. I’ll try not to bore you. Let’s dive in.   In the Realm of AEW, it would seem that MJF is angling for a bigger part in the Future. After CM Punk returned to wrench the Undisputed Title from Sami Zayn’s hands he posted a face-swapped image of Punk as Hulk Hogan when he did something similar back in the day. He quickly deleted the image but that didn’t stop other posters from picking up on the sentiment and posting their own. Now, many are calling Punk “CM Hogan” or some rendition thereof.   I’ll get into my take of this move when I speak o...

SmackDown Fallout - Night of Champions 2026

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 ...
