WWE Musings

How’s It Going Enthusiasts!   Welcome to SummerSlam! Have no idea what to expect but that’s okay. I’m enjoying the day for more casual yet personal reasons today. Nevertheless, I’ll be watching at 4pm PDT and while I am I will be looking at just a few matches. The rest either should perform or have to.   First match I’m curious about is GUNTHER vs. Damian Priest. I think we’re on the cusp of a Priest Face Turn. My only question is, where does it go? Not that I mind that he earns respect but what’s next is the real question. The thing about Gunther is that he’s simple. The point is to win. Who is the next opponent? See, give him someone else to mangle. Priest now has to have some sort of quest or be some sort of adjudicator. Not sure if the landscape is quite set up for that at present.   However, I don’t think that should mean Gunther wins. Priest is in an interesting space right now because he’s winning on merit. He’s just doing a great job with a shit positi...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s Go-Home week for Summer Slam. Looks like my relocation will take a little longer than anticipated so there’s a good chance I watch it in the old neighborhood. Kinda looking forward to it. Regardless, nothing earthshattering going on in the Wrestling World though parts of Southern California did experience a mild earthquake. Just another day in these parts. Let’s get into what’s circulating.   AEW is contemplating rebranding ROH. It is there’s now so I guess there’s nothing wrong with making it official. However, purists may feel that some history is lost with an official changeover. I tend to be a traditionalist so, I don’t see any real benefit from a rebranding but if Tony Khan wants to do it, so shall it be.   In the WWE Universe, there was some talk floating around about potentially bringing back Brock Lesnar. According to early reports, word was that a return is currently dependent on Lesnar but we all know it comes down...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Hanging in there, staying cool if applicable? Today was more eventful that usual, though relatively mundane. I’m sticking my toe into adulthood. So far, so good 😉 As for the Wrestling World, there is some chatter. Not much but some. Shall we get into it? Let’s.   The first order of business is that a couple of our familiar faces have been removed from WWE’s internal roster. Not sure if this just means they’re inactive or have been low-key released but word is MVP and Tamina are no longer officially active. Again, not sure what the full implications are as word also is that MVP is looking to revamp the Hurt Business alongside Bobby Lashley, but Lashley’s contract may be up soon. Not sure if we should prepare to see them off to future endeavors or just sit tight but that’s what’s floating about.   Elsewhere, Johnny Gargano shared some upsetting news regarding the family business. It appears that his Father has been a restaurateur...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? It’s still hot and confusing, among other things. This was a strange week. I think many of us in the United States are still processing it. I try to keep politics out of this blog but looks like it may creep in this year.  There’s stuff going on in the wrestling world too so, I’ll keep other comments brief. I’ll just open with a little humor. I don’t know what to make of this assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I can say that I think it was completely unnecessary. He should be trivialized, not martyred. However, given the fishiness of this incident I’ll offer up my playful conspiracy theory. I’m gonna say this was a move by Russia to help secure the election by garnering sympathy for Trump. I don’t think anyone died. They’re in hiding, the shooter as well. I think it was an intentional miss by a skilled marksman. That’s my take. I’ll stick to it until someone proves different 😉 Anyway, in the Wrestling World, some of our performers’ physical stat...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? It’s another Friday and there isn’t all that much going on in the Wrestling World, but enough to have a brief chat about a few things so, let’s see what’s floating around. First, let us congratulate Rhea Ripley and Buddy Matthews/Murphy on their engagement. Looks like Matthews intends to make an honest woman of Ripley and thankfully for him, Ripley doesn’t seem to mind. I’ve got nothing but Mazel Tov to say to them. I wish the couple the happiest of nuptials. Perhaps this can pave the way to Matthews returning to WWE in the future but for now, let’s just wish them well. The next item of interest is that there are rumors going around that Nia Jax is training for a return to the ring. Whether that will be a WWE ring has yet to be confirmed, though. There are some commenters that are bemoaning a possible WWE return but I don’t think that many people are against it. She has the bad rap of injuring wrestlers but I always thought she was just doing her job.  ...

What’s Going On, Enthusiasts? Everything going good for you? Well, SummerSlam has come and went and though it wasn’t their best PPV/PLE, I wouldn’t exactly call it bad. I just think some matches didn’t work but the intent to cleanly execute was there. Things just didn’t come together as hoped. We got some Industry news to go over too so, let’s jump into it. So, a couple of things before diving into SummerSlam. Word is going around that WWE may have already signed Brian Pillman, Jr. Reports circling the trades are saying that Pillman has been seen at the Performance Center and that he’s set for a NXT taping. Again, I know too little about him to fully comment but from what I see going around, Pillman could use some direction. We’ll see if WWE is the right next step. Also, going around is that Logan Paul made it to see his brother Jake in action against Nate Diaz later Saturday evening. There’s video going around that shows Logan Paul getting into it with some fans in the crowd. Guess th...

What’s Up, Enthusiasts!   This is going to be a short post because, if I’m being honest, I don’t really have much to say this SummerSlam. It’s not that it’s not an exciting time or I'm not looking forward to the show if anything, that’s why. I’m excited for the show and don’t really have any match favorites or matches of interest. I’m just not lying to you. I just want to sit back and watch the show.   However, I will say it sounds like Kid Rock’s performance will be the designated bathroom break of the evening. A lot of commenters on social media and elsewhere aren’t feeling Rock and feel he’s an out-of-date performer choice. I can understand that. Yet, I think he’s done performances for WWE before so, I don’t blame them for going to an old standard. He probably won’t be as bad as that Hardy performance so, at least it should be palatable to some extent.   In any case, I suggest enjoying yourselves today. Get one of your favorite meals together and put your f...

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts! How is everyone? Just want to welcome all those who stopped by recently. Apparently, I do pretty well in Europe. It’s probably misleading. More than likely some hot OnlyFans girl who goes by “Nicole Alexis” is out there and these people stumbled upon my little blog by accident 🤷 Regardless, I appreciate everyone who has stopped by. As you can see, I don’t really do this for popularity but the fans I have are loyal.  In any case, let’s see what’s going on in the Wrestling World, shall we? There’s enough to chat about.  So, it appears that Mr. Vince McMahon’s recent procedure may have more to it. Apparently, according to some news outlets, investigations are still on-going regarding any misconduct and he is technically on an “indefinite medical leave” as he recovers. Something tells me that the timing of the procedure was done just to coincide with these investigations. That makes more sense to me. It’s always hard to take any WWE news seriously becau...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? It’s a mixed bag at the beginning of this week but at least there’s stuff to talk about. Let’s get right into it.  So, let’s address the sad news in Paul Reubens better known as Pee-Wee Herman passing over the weekend. He was quietly battling cancer and unfortunately succumbed. This is sad, despite his less than savory past. I grew up watching Pee-Wee’s Playhouse and didn’t discover the adult origin until I got older. Regardless, that was a great children’s show that I will always remember fondly, not to mention his movies.  I missed his spots on WWE television but I feel I won’t be the only one a bit grieved at his passing. Sincere condolences to his loved ones. This one was a bit of a shock. Back to the Wrestling World, WWE had a kinda lively weekend. NXT had their American Bash and Cody Rhodes’ documentary dropped on Peacock. I didn’t partake of either and I doubt I would but while perusing the rumors/news of the day, I saw that Gable Stevenson ...

  Happy Friday, Enthusiasts: It looks like it’s a slow news day in the Wrestling World but there are a couple things to comment on. Let’s talk a little about them, shall we? So, WWE will get a little mainstream press over the weekend as a select few will represent them on Celebrity Family Feud this Sunday night on ABC . It will be Men vs. Women with Seth Rollins fronting the crew consisting of Big E, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Dolph Ziggler. The Ladies are headed by Becky Lynch, with Bayley, Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan and Natalya on the team. Check your local listings if you want to check it out. Not sure I’m that interested but it’s a good chance to get fresh eyes on the current product. It seems like this was already taped so, hopefully they had fun with it. I may catch it on a replay some time. We’ll see. This next tidbit I wasn’t sure I was going to comment on because of the not-so-favorable press on Mr. Vince McMahon but reports hit general news outlets so I guess I better ...

A Merry Monday to You, Enthusiasts! How’s every little thing? It’s a Monday so…you know start of the week and all that. Work keeps me busy. There’s a little bit going on in the Wrestling World. Enough to have a brief conversation so let’s chat about what’s going on. Word is that Bray Wyatt may soon return to our TV screens. Most signs point to SummerSlam or shortly thereafter. The consensus seems to be more or less agreed that a reboot back to the Rob Zombie-esque cult leader is a good way to go. That “Fiend” angle just doesn’t hold up for a live entertainment medium. I know some fans ate it up but you all know my many issues with the concept. The backwoods preacher can always grasp our imagination and it leaves the door open for so much kooky fun. I don’t mind experimentation but I don’t think adding weight to this sort of content makes sense. I do want to get caught up and forget it’s not real but at the same time, I’m looking to escape so anything too heavy is going to be off-puttin...
