WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! Well, the IWC is kinda strange right now. It’s just full of rumors and speculations. I suppose that’s always but the line between fact and fiction has never been so blurred. You ever stop to think that all of it may just be talk? There may be morsels of truth here and there but I can’t really believe half of what’s coming across my feed at the moment. None of it is substantiated and we’ll probably never know the truth because we’ll be told whatever they want to tell us, at least when it comes to the WWE. I’ll elaborate on that in a minute but first let’s see what else is going on and then I’ll get into all this…whatever.   So, in the land of AEW the Future appears “cloaked” at the moment and that’s exactly as it should be. The Riders of Death have taken in Will Ospreay and so far, their influence appears to be positive. Yet Ospreay maintains he’s not on the team just calling a truce for now and we’ll see how that evolves. Su...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! Well, there’s a lot of chatter in the IWC this week. I guess there always is but it’s been a bit more interesting and engaging to me of late. Gives us a few things to chat about. I don’t think I’ll be too long-winded but I won’t be holding back either so, we’ll see where I end up. Let’s get to it, shall we?   In the Realm of AEW, I took a look at the Riders of Death’s tenuous acquisition of Will Ospreay and I can say that it’s a good start. The tone was nice and accessible. I could see that fun could be had but it could get “heavy” with the “wrong” exchange or look. It’s all very…we’ll see which is fair for this point in the story. Very good, gentlemen. This makes me generally less apprehensive. You want to have fun with this, not overshoot the mark. We like wrestling but most of us have other things to do 😉   Yet, the interesting news circulating in regards to AEW is the notion that Warner Bros./Discovery has no i...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! Well, it was a quiet one but news of WWE releases just dropped so I’ll get into that in a little bit. Besides that, nothing too crazy has been going on this past week. Yet, we got enough to have a chat so, let’s get into it, shall we?   To start, let’s swing by the Realm of AEW. They’re doing their thing but there’s been some talk about Lio “Blackheart” Rush’s “demented” reimagining of late. So, I took a couple ganders at it. I saw his match on Dynamite from last week out of curiosity and then took a look at this week's for the same reason. Commenters don’t care for it but I kinda understand it in theory. Lio Rush is like 75lbs on a good day so, he’s a little guy and that’s hard to get over when you got big brutes walking around. How does this little dude get the W? Well, a “psych out” can work. I don’t mind a person using their smarts or crazy to be believable out there.   However, what people generally don’t like...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy WrestleMania Weekend! Well, say what you will about the lead up, I’m mildly intrigued. Some plans haven’t worked out others did splendidly so, we’ll see what we get. I’m staying cautiously optimistic but I have personal incentive to make it a good time regardless so, I should have fun.   As for the Wrestling World, it looks like most promotions are getting out of the way. AEW aired Dynamite and Collison on Wednesday and Thursday respectively so there’s no competition. On both nights of WrestleMania, the first hour will be shown on the ESPN network so if you got Live TV streaming or cable, you can at least partially partake if you don’t have the app. It should be an eventful weekend, come what may.   Circling back to the Realm of AEW, we got some crumbs for the Future as we saw Jon Moxley take on the “16-year-old” in Nick Wayne on Collision. Wayne went ahead and had his Mother by his side. Mox wasn’t in action on Dynamite ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday. So, there’s not all that much going on. Well, not a lot for me to comment on but you know, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. AEW prepares for Dynasty this weekend while WWE sets the final pieces on the stage for WrestleMania so it’s like a quiet before the storm. There are a few things I can chat about, though so let’s get to it then to our weekend.   Over in the Realm of AEW, it appears Will Osprey took Jon Moxley’s advice and “used his head” by flying in some back up to help him deal with the Riders of Death. He got his lady love, Alex Windsor along with Francesco Akira, Henare and Callum Newman to arrive just in time while he was taking it to Moxley in the Parking Lot on this week’s Dynamite. And then they went at it officially at the end of the show in a big ole 4-on-4 Match.   This was a lot of fun. And, if I didn’t know better, I’d say Osprey is beginning to have fun without the numbered canvas. See, it’s ni...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Good Friday, regardless of your belief system. Easter is special to me because I am an “Easter Baby”. I was born on an Easter Weekend 😊 So, happy birthday to all the other Easter Babies out there! We’re a special breed.   In any case, as far as the Wrestling World is concerned, there are some things going on. Enough for me to have a decent chat so let’s get into it and then you can go off to your weekend, whatever you choose to do with it.   In the Ream of AEW, the big news is the return of Chris Jericho. He greeted the Dynamite Crowd in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and then left it to everyone else to have a great show. From what I witnessed it was a solid show. I checked in on the PAC vs. Will Osprey match and it worked out much like I thought. PAC is a little beast , I tell ya. He’s made of different stuff, which is why it’s hard for me to accept his losses but we’ll just say he “got ahead of himself” this time around a...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Well, I got back into my original blog. Can’t say what happened but I’m glad to be back to my usual blog space. I got a lot of content on here 😉 I may switch over to II in the future but just not yet. Had to do what I had to do in this particular situation.   In any case, there are few things that caught my eye this week. Nothing too crazy. I see that Roman Reigns was on The Tonight Show last night but I didn’t catch any of that. Never do. I don’t know. I feel I have to limit my wrestling intake still. I’m a fan but not that much of a fan. They have me twice a week and on PPVs so that’s enough, right? Besides, I was taken in more by what was going on in the Realm of AEW.   As you’ve gathered, I’m monitoring the formulation of the Future and this week didn’t have much to directly do with it but that’s the point. It’s not outwardly supposed to. Nevertheless, the Riders of Death were at work against the mixed team of SkyFlight. ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   I can understand if it’s a bittersweet Friday as many of us mourn the loss of Chuck Norris. I have to say that I didn’t care much for him in my youth. He seemed a corny alternative if you were a true Martial Arts/Action movie fan. I was more interested in Jet Li back then and to a lesser degree Jackie Chan but over the years, especially when the Chuck Norris jokes started, my stance on him softened. And so, I will start with a soft tribute to him by sharing the 5 jokes I found the funniest. Then we’ll get into the usual business. Top 5 Chuck Norris Jokes   Chuck Norris is so tough, when exposed to the Coronavirus, the virus was in quarantine for a month. Chuck Norris is so tough he can start a fire with an ice cube. When Chuck Norris does division, there are no remainders. Chuck Norris once kicked a horse in the chin. Its descendants are now known as giraffes. The only time Chuck Norris was ever wrong, was when he thought he had made a mi...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Hope you’re enjoying your Friday. I’m about to 😉 But first let’s just take a quick gander at what’s going on in the Wrestling World, then we can get on with our weekend. Sound good? Let’s get it started.   Over in the Realm of AEW, it looks like they had a meeting and decided it doesn’t hurt to talk a little more shit and keep the mood light. The Future is going to take a while to develop so, might as well have fun doing it.   I checked in to see Our Man Jon Moxley take on the submission specialist in Hechicero. It was a decent match. More a showcase for Hechicero than anything else but Mox being the draw he continued his winning streak. Konosuke Takeshita showed up after to stare him down since Revolution is next weekend.   Yet, what caught my interest was the promo the Riders of Death cut later in the show. They there were calling the Don Callis Family pussies.   I think Wheeler Yuta was the funniest bemoaning h...
