WWE Musings

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...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to a new week. So, there’s not much to chat about at the moment. It’s kinda quiet as the Top 2 promotions prepare for bigger things. I believe AEW has it’s Redemption PPV coming up next weekend and WWE has SummerSlam of course after this past weekend’s Saturday Night: Main Event . There are a few speculations hovering around so we’ll chat about that and get into tonight’s action. How’s that sound? Here we go.   The Realm of AEW is relatively quiet as the road to the future is being paved. The goal appears to be get Will Ospreay into “Top Guy” shape but what kind of Top Guy will he be? A Major Face or a Huge Heel? It’s hard to say. I get the feeling he wants to be the “Good Guy” but you should be able to play the villain just the same so, we shall see.   To look at it, I think Omega is going to go out a Face so perhaps Ospreay could have an “Identity Crisis” to start and as the sun sets on Omega’s career, he can come aroun...

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.   ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to a new week! Well, when a door closes, the Gods open up a window, don’t they? The return of Baron Corbin to the WWE Universe is a delight but we’ll get into that later. There’s not much for me to report on today so, this should be a relatively short post but you know, I can always start rambling. Let’s see where I end up. Here we go.   Over in the Realm of AEW, the groundwork for the future is definitely being laid given what I witnessed on the most recent Collision . As for the Future specifically, I’ll just say Our Man Moxley is starting to posture in a way that’s “strangely familiar”. Uh-oh. Here it comes. As I’ve said, “Strike 1” can go down any time between now and the end of the year but the way I’m seeing things, it’s looking like that hammer is gonna fall sooner than later.   I don’t mind this but with MJF and shall we say, Chicago factoring more than originally anticipated, I would guestimate kick-off, one way ...

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...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Well, some stuff went down over the weekend, didn’t it. Guess something had to with it being so quiet. We won’t jump right into it but what I’m gonna talk about may have some correlation. Let’s take a little time and unpack.   So, we’ll start with the curmudgeonly ravings of Jim Cornette who had nothing good to say about WWE or AEW recently. WWE is too manufactured and AEW is full of wannabe jokers no one wants to emulate. What’s a person to do who wants some good old fashioned wrasslin’? Well, that is a good question. Probably stay in the past with the old footage available for consumption.   Most commenters pretty much hit it on the head that Cornette is coming off like the old man that he is here. The good old days have their charm but that was then and this is now. Like I’ve said before, I treat my wrestling just like Parkour. Always move forward. I may refer back to something just to comment but once it’s done, it’s done and...

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...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Welcome to SummerSlam, Day 1! So, I usually post on both days but this time around, I think I’ll just be honest and post once. I’m only interested in 2 matches and the rest is up to our players to make interesting. Not that they can’t but my curiosity has only piqued for 2 potential hotspots.  The first is the TLC Tag Team Match. I don’t recall who’s in it and don’t feel like looking it up but given the last displays, this could be the highlight of the weekend. No pressure 😉 Yet, given these players are known for their skill and prowess, I feel the biggest challenge will be getting in their own way. Hopefully, they can relax and just let the magic happen. Then after that, it’s the Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena Street Fight. Did Cena really Face Turn? Personally, I’m sensing the Rock and potentially even Travis Scott to return. All the reports of a falling out could be disinformation. You know how it is in the WWE Universe. Can’t trust anything. I still kin...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy SummerSlam’s Eve. Well, there are things going on but my eye was only draw to a couple things. Some of which weren’t even intentional but since this will probably be a short post, I’ll touch on them. Let’s see what’s going on in the Wrestling World. First, just a quick stop in the Realm of AEW as I noticed some things this week. I checked out a bit of Dynamite expecting to see the Jon Moxley vs. Hangman Page rematch but it looks like that opened so, I saw Hangman cut a promo instead and I have to say I didn’t realize how much his cadence is similar to Sami Zayn’s. He’s like AEW’s cowboy version. Kinda cracked me up. I also feel I ought to give some due to “dat boy” Mark Briscoe ‘cause I didn’t know he could dance so well. I saw him keep up with Ricochet, so I understand why they almost closed. That was some solid action. Good on him. He still looks like he’s short on a few vaccinations but what are you gonna do with a boy like dat 😉 Good work, gentl...
