WWE Musings

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts! How’s everyone doing? Can’t say I have too many troubles. No more than most. So, there are a few things we can discuss today. Nothing earth shattering but enough to fill up a few minutes of reading time. Let’s get in to it, shall we? Let’s start out in the Indy Wildlands as House Rhodes introduces some new faces. The nephews to Cody and Dustin “Goldust” Rhodes, Wayne and Wyatt had their first professional match representing Dustin’s wrestling school the Rhodes Wrestling Academy. They’re not the biggest kids so, I’m not sure what the future holds but if they’re fine performers and have that Rhodes Heart they should do all right. Welcome to the show, kids. Now, the wrestling world just wouldn’t be what it is without shit talk so let’s review what got spilled this week. First off, Ronda Rousey was doing the best version of herself as she gave her take of the “shit show” that is WWE. Needless to say, it wasn’t a glowing report but what was even clearer is that th

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts! How’s it going for you so far? I have a few headaches of the external kind but nothing I can’t handle. So, there was a little action this week. Definitely some stuff to talk about. It’s somewhat, same ole, same ole but with some slight twists. Let’s get into it. So, you probably don’t need me to tell you that CM Punk appears to be on the outs with AEW again. From what I’m reading, the sticking point this time around is Ace Steel. Apparently, he was supposed to be on this deal for AEW’s Saturday show, Collision . But management didn’t want Steel there and once it was clear Steel wasn’t going to be there, that’s when Punk peaced out. Punk also took to social media to squash all the noise and point out some wrestling insiders need to keep to their own business. Now, I’m not sure what to think here. It’s hard to tell if it’s real or not. Could this be misinformation to make Punk’s return a bigger surprise? Yet, on that note, I’m not sure it’s the right message to

Happy Holidays, Enthusiasts! For those who celebrate in The West, Merry Christmas! I can cover the general bases for the time. Why not 😉 The Wrestling World appears to be on a slight hiatus for Christmas, especially with it falling on a weekend this year. I will be in town for tonight’s pre-recorded SmackDown so, I’ll get to watch along with all the other West Coast aficionados. Can’t say I’ll be along for the fun next Monday, though. Who wants a clip show of this? Isn’t that what YouTube is for? In any case, the stuff that has been catching my eye for this part of the week is the talk of WWE potential returns. The most speculative of which being Rusev’s/Miro’s. According to Lana a.k.a. CJ Perry, it’s not so much a matter of “if” but “when” he returns to WWE.  To be honest, this isn’t a surprise. Rusev was always WWE material and though he was somewhat bitter about how things went, let’s not forget that the biggest grievance between the 2 parties was Rusev breaking kayfabe on social m

A Happy Easter Monday to You, Enthusiasts.   Since we gather weekly, we sometimes bear witness to the sub holidays. Might as well embrace it. So, let’s see what’s going on in the wrestling world today.   I suppose what has the most general buzz is the anticipation of NXT moving to Tuesdays. I’ve also heard that Ring of Honor was trying to secure something for Thursday and you have New Japan providing offerings on that day through Roku too so, it looks like there may soon be wrestling on TV every weekday night. I would think that’s an achievement for the Industry. A potential fan can now sample the basic offerings and make a decision. We’ll see if one of these promotions gives WWE a run for its money.   As for the NXT move specifically, I think it makes sense. It subconsciously aligns itself with RAW and quiets the talk of the “Wednesday Night” wars. If anything, I think this move makes collaboration all the more possible. They probably won’t start that until everyone’s vacc
