How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy WrestleMania Go-Home Week! Since that’s where we’re at, there isn’t much going on in the Wrestling World other than people trying to get some attention riding the WrestleMania coattails so, let’s get into the discussion. It should be short.   We pitstop first in the Realm of AEW to see how the Death Riders fare while PAC recovers. Jon Moxley does the honorable thing and steps into the vacant space. He also offered us a rather poignant promo to explain the next steps and I have to say, I wasn’t expecting it. With moments like these, the future may become so bright I’ll need to wear sunglasses. I wasn’t even aiming for the sun.   That said, I’ll leave them with 1 last piece of advice and then I’ll just get cryptic to allow the future to properly germinate. When all the “real stuff” goes down and Mox is finally left with a “choice”, just remember that this is not a “breakdown” it is a “relapse”. Mind the nuance and surprise th...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Enjoying your Friday? This was supposed to be more eventful but that appears to be holding over for the weekend. No matter, as long as it happens 😉 As for the Wrestling World, there’s some stuff we can talk about, certainly. Ready for it? Let’s break it down. We’ll stop in the Realm of AEW since this week was their Dynasty PPV Fallout Dynamite show. Well, with the Young Bucks back on the scene, Jon Moxley made it clear that they’re not exactly in league with each other so, the plot twist does make for some mild intrigue. Just the sort of thing needed to set whatever this is up for the “long game”. That’s good enough for me for now. There’s a lot of time for the “real stuff” to get going. This sort of thing is good groundwork. It can establish a sort of “reasonable doubt” while his enemies build a case. Mox can have moments of clarity when he wants to. The Future remains Bright. Continue. Yet, this week it’s PAC who got the attention since he appeared to g...

How’s It Going Enthusiasts?   Enjoying this Monday? Mine was busier than usual, hence the late start so, everything will be a bit behind this evening. C’est la vie. It’s always about what one doesn’t plan. Yet, these are not complaints, simply observations. As for the Wrestling World, there’s some things to talk about but I won’t touch on it as much. Still need to see what I missed. Let’s get into everything else in the meantime. Here we go.   As you probably know, AEW had their Dynasty PPV this past Sunday and I can’t really comment on the implications. I suppose those will become clearer on this week’s Dynamite Fallout Show. Match of the Night went to Kenny Omega, Ricochet and “Speedball” Mike Bailey. Knowing what I do know, this shouldn’t be very surprising. I’ll try to take a longer look but what I saw was fun.   As for our man, Jon Moxley, he retained the Championship with the return of the Young Bucks to most people’s chagrin. Swerve Strickland was “do...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday! We made it, yet again. As for the Wrestling World, there isn’t much to report but we have a few things we can chat about. Are you up for it? Let’s go. We’ll stop in the Realm of AEW for a brief minute as Jon Moxley was at it again. Not alone so much this time but he definitely ramped up the stakes for his match against Swerve Strickland for the Dynasty PPV set for Sunday. He teamed with Marina Shafir for a Mixed Tag match against Strickland and the adorable Willow Nightingale. This is why Mox’s actions are so “shocking”.  Now, things aren’t as “malicious” as they may seem if you’ve seen clips out of context. Towards the end of the match, Strickland accidentally took out Shafir so Nightingale cleared the ring by knocking Mox off the apron. As she was innocently celebrating the win with Strickland, Mox slipped her into a faceplant onto the mat, to everyone’s horror! How could he! She's so cute!  Well, it’s easy to see Mox felt “justifie...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   A Merry Monday to you! There isn’t that much going on in the Wrestling World at the moment so, rest assured this post will be considerably shorter than the last one 😉 I can ramble on about a couple things but I shouldn’t take up too much of your time. Ready? Here we go.   Usually we pitstop over in the Realm of AEW to see how they’re doing but things appear to be going nicely and there’s quite a bit of time before the “real stuff” gets going so let them simmer this stew.   What has my attention today was the report that WWE is having trouble filling the 3 hours for SmackDown. Now this is a prime example of their Creative Department lacking creativity. This is not how it should be. I’ve said before that there should be an abundance of ideas not a deficit. If this was a regular old fictional television show, they’d have the next season already written maybe even the one after that depending. The only ones I know of that fly by t...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! So, we have a few things to chat about this evening. AEW has been getting my attention and it appears to be for the right reasons, more or less, so they’ll take up the first half and then it’s on to the WWE Universe. Can you hang with that? Let’s get into it. Just note that I got a lot to say today so, this will be one of the longer ones. Feel free to skip ahead if you’re not interested 😉   As said, we’ll start in the Realm of AEW as preparation begins for the showdown between Swerve Strickland and Jon Moxley. The face-to-face they had this past Wednesday was poised, to my slight surprise. Though Mox, may be registering at a “6” there are different colors to it and this time around, he offered Strickland a fair share of respect, as he should ‘cause Strickland is a good wrestler and Mox was honest enough to offer praise and hope. Mox will be Mox however so, we’ll see what Strickland does with this “chance”.   In ter...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? How’s Monday treating you? I’ve been kept busy. As for the Wrestling World, I’d say it’s a slow news day so this post will be brief. So, without further ado, let me get into it. The biggest thing of note today is that Endeavor, the parent company of TKO, owner of WWE, has privatized today. It is no longer a publicly traded company. Now, I’ll be honest and admit the full implications are lost on me but given the state of affairs in the United States right now, I don’t blame the head honchos for wanting to secure some control.  At a glance, I would say this could set the stage for more in-house politicking and ingratiating since the public will have less of a say in how things go. Shareholders will have to see what those in charge do and see if it’s worth sticking with. It’s hard to move under privatization so the long term effects have yet to be determined. Guess we’ll see if this change affects presentation but for now, WWE has to be more concerned more...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday! So, I think you all know what we’re gonna talk about today. At least it will keep the post brief. I got stuff to do this weekend 😉 Let’s get into it, shall we? Here we go.   Focus was on the Realm of AEW this Wednesday as Jon Moxley reverted back to his masochistic ways by taking a set of nails to the back. In most cases, I would admonish this unnecessary show of violence but this time around, I found it well-placed. This is more “fodder” for his enemies than anything else. This time, this is “evidence” which is exactly what it ought to be.   My only real issue concerns sanitation. Are those nails sterilized before being used? It would be quite the shame if all this potential gets flushed down the drain due to a case of sepsis or a nasty case of lockjaw. I’ll be fine with it if it suits the Future and is done with some consideration. No one told him to kill himself. Not sure what that would prove or serve. ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Enjoying the additional daylight? Spring is almost here. In the meantime, there are a few things simmering on the back burner, so to speak. Are you up for chatting a little about them? It’s just a little. I’m not trying to take up anyone’s time. This shouldn’t kill ya.   So, we’ll take a short visit to the Realm of AEW as life appears to carry on. Jon Moxley found his cat burglar costume and took a crowbar to Swerve Strickland’s knee and put a Curbstomp to his busted eardrum before skedaddling off and cutting a promo. It does appear true to form and if I may say, it seems to be an indication that Mox has turned it up to a “6”.   As much as we can tease him for the “hit” it’s playing better amongst commenters. This angle has finally reached 50/50 status as opposed to all 👎👎👎 That’s all I was going for. Given how early it is, it’s no big deal if spectators don’t get it but at the very least, they have to be entertained and Mox l...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s rainy and cold in Southern California so, there’s plenty of reasons to stay inside. As for the Wrestling World, there are few things going on but nothing too startling. Shall we have our little chat? Let’s.   So, let’s swing by the Realm of AEW as they had their Revolution Fallout this past Wednesday. We had some poignant words from a more…contemplative Jon Moxley but it’s Papa Christian who stole the show. I would say MJF and MVP were a respectable second. I think they may serve well as “instigators” so to speak. I think I’ve already shared that I feel MJF should “make the call” but it’s looking like Papa Christian should “light the fire” more or less. And Chris Jericho can be on standby for that as a contingency. The Future needs help to remain Bright and these gentlemen may serve this…transition well 😉 Hopefully, they can pace this to start popping off next year.   Also in AEW, Mike Bailey debuted. He’s such a retro thr...
