RAW Does Its Job and Sends Everyone Home for Survivor Series / War Games...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Welcome to a new week and Happy Thanksgiving to my stateside readers. We got some stuff to chat about today. Let’s not waste time and get right into it. It’s only some, so it shouldn’t take too long. Ready? Here we go! We’ll start over in the Realm of AEW as they had their Full Gear PPV over the past weekend. It’s no surprise that Match of the Night went to Will Osprey and Kyle Fletcher but it looks like Mercedes Moné and Kris Statlander took the Silver. From what snipits I could find, I can see why. Good for them! As for the Moxley Takeover tinged main event between Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy, it didn’t medal amongst onlookers but the match itself was fine. It’s everything that spilled out after that soured palettes. For what I’m looking at, I didn’t mind it. Moxley just bullied Cassidy but Cassidy hung tough. Moxley retained with help and distractions so Cassidy loses no face. Mox does have to contemplate how to make this experiment more engaging...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? How’d the week treat you? Meh, it wasn’t that exciting on my end but as usual, just glad it’s over. As for the Wrestling World there are some grumblings but per usual, not that it moved me much, but we have a few things to kick around. Ready? Here we go. First, we’ll stop in the Realm of AEW and check in on this Death Riders Domination. I guess the bigger news is that Toni Storm is “retiring” from pro-wrestling. Given the nature of this disclosure, it’s pretty clear it’s a work of some sort so, we’ll let the lady do her thing.  As for Jon Moxley’s crew, I like how both Darby Allin and Orange Cassidy are doing what they can to slow down their train. Someone has to 😉 Yet, in both cases, my case and point was kinda proven. Regardless, I’ll just start with how both Allin and Cassidy are proving their chops and kinda growing on me in the process. Allin, though a solid 45lbs. wet, just won’t quit and Cassidy is a solid worker. He may have made it up t...

RAW Leaves Us Something to Keep Us Occupied Before War Games / Survivor Series...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? A Merry Monday to you! Is it treating you well? I’ve definitely had worse, I’ll just say that. As has been the case of late, there hasn’t been the most thrilling news circulating in the Wrestling World but enough went on that we have something to have a short chat about. What do you say? Can you spare a little time? This should be quick. Well, as you noticed, I was one of many drawn in by the spectacle that was Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson. I took a look, as much as the Netflix app would allow and disappointing doesn’t even touch on what went down. The general consensus was if Tyson didn’t knock out Paul in the 1st round that would be it and it was. There was about 30 seconds at the beginning that Paul about crapped his pants but after that, it was just an old man trying to hang with a relatively young one.  The promoters should have known better. I don’t mind these cash grab matches as long as it’s worth watching. Tyson just couldn’t really go. If they’re ...

RAW Changes Course for War Games/Survivor Series...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   How’s this Monday, treating you? Well, as usual, there are things floating around but only a few tidbits caught my interest. Should be a short post. Up for it? Let’s get into it.   Over in the Realm of AEW, the Moxley Takeover hit a small snag this past week but it appears to be all part of the plan.  If this story ─ if it goes where I think it may go ─ is to make it to its final destination, there should be many fits and starts. Besides, why can’t Jon Moxley and Company show that they are fallible and human? We shouldn’t forget this should we or more importantly, the AEW Roster shouldn’t forget.   To advance the notion, Mox has claimed in a recent interview that this is only the beginning. He’s hitting the reset button and wiping the drive. No data kept.   Everyone will have to start from scratch. Well, since this is the beginning, I hope AEW has their backup storage options ready to go. Why should Mox have all the fun...
