WWE Musings

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s a cold one in Southern California but nothing that those used to snow couldn’t handle. As for the Wrestling World, there’s some stuff going on but what caught my eye is more administrative. Some insight on how 2025 is gonna go. Are you up for a brief discussion? Let’s see where it goes.   We’ll stay in the WWE Universe for now as AEW’s stuff appears to be percolating. There’s an “update” on Brock Lesnar’s status going around making it seem like he’s on an unofficial retirement. Given the dirt that came up on him, it’s not surprising. You see how everyone is getting theirs for past unsavory behavior. I think he would have gotten more clemency if he was a more approachable person. His rep, in general, isn’t the best so, when dirt comes out, it’s easy to close the book on him. I don’t really think he’s needed anymore, to be honest. There was a time he served a purpose but now that WWE is finding a more engaging stride, Lesnar can...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Welcome to a new week. So, there’s quite a bit in motion/going on. I would say it was a successful weekend for WWE and AEW seems 2 making their stuff work. Shall we have a chat about it? Let’s… First up, we’ll stop in the Realm of AEW as we see Jon Moxley and Company “dial it down” a bit and decide to jump/semi-kidnap FTR. See, that’s what I’m talking about. Have some fun. Get crazy! Give us something to watch. Not sure what the endgame is exactly, but at this point, there’s time to flesh it out. I’ll be sure to check out this “epic” Fatal-4-Way getting set-up once it’s filed away. Keep things simple for now and just go out, get nuts and have fun. If it entertains, it entertains. Don’t overthink it. Most of us aren’t that invested but we will bitch if we’re not entertained. In the WWE Universe, there are a few points of discussion. The Saturday Night: Main Event went off without a hitch and it was a fine night of wrestling. No real upsets but as we all kno...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Enjoying your Monday evening? Meh, it’s kinda run of the mill over here but that’s okay. Not really in the mood for much excitement. So, there’s some chatter going on but nothing that is piquing my interest so, I’ll keep it to the brief preview of the night’s festivities. Remember, it’s Go-Home Week for the King of The Ring PPV/PLE in the KSA, so this should be a fun-filled night.   What I will comment on is that word is that SmackDown’s ratings were down last week and I just want to interject that some regions don’t play SmackDown at 8pm every week. As you know, I’m in the process of relocating and the city I plan to move to, also in Southern California, sometimes opts to show local team sports rather than SmackDown at that time so it gets preempted and shown later in the evening. This week, it didn’t come on until 11:30pm so, if other, less popular markets do the same, that would have to affect ratings. Luckily, I DVR it for just such...
