WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Happy Friday? So, there are few rumblings in the Wrestling World. I should have at least 3 talking points. Are you down to go over them? Let’s break it down. To start, there are a lot of contracts expiring in the next month or so. Will we see some shuffling? The most of noticeable of which is Becky Lynch’s. The word on her is that she plans to take an extended leave. She’s still very popular in WWE and performs well so, no one really anticipates her jumping ship but she may take some time out to stay at home and focus on raising her daughter. She’ll be starting school soon and many believe Lynch will want to take some time off to be a present mother. It’s hard to knock if that’s what she wants to do. Hard to say how long the break will be but all power to her as she contemplates the larger scope of life. Chad Gable’s and Ricochet’s contracts are also said to be up for renewal as well and I doubt WWE will let them go. Some may feel that Ricochet is being und

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Enjoying the day off if you have it? I am. Had a nice walk, a nice meal and now I’m doing the blog. It’s a good day. King and Queen of the Ring came and went and it wasn’t bad. Nothing crazy happened but I don’t want my money back, so to speak.   I have to agree with the general consensus and give Match of the Night to GUNTHER vs. Randy Orton. They went out and smacked the shit out of each. Gunther had Orton looking like a big baby out there, all red and upset. Had to take everything back from last post. They just squared up and went to town. Can’t ask for much more.   Becky Lynch gets honorable mention for losing her shit on Dominik Mysterio after her loss to Liv Morgan. I don’t know if that “assist” is gonna get explained but I call shenanigans. I think Dom and Morgan are in cahoots. Looks like Morgan is getting set up for a show down with Rhea Ripley when she gets back. I’m sure Mami doesn’t approve.   The Intercontinental Championship

What’s Going On, Enthusiasts? So, it’s an interesting time. This time around in the KSA feels more like…Fastlane or something. Am I wrong? In any case, it’s not an entirely stacked card but there are some interesting matches. They have some implications but the intrigue comes in how they play out. Here are the 3 matches I’m looking at. I can’t help but comment on Lyra Valkyria vs. Nia Jax. It seems quick. Perhaps she has a bigger NXT following than I’m aware of but I’m not quite there yet. That could be what’s up, though. Something “screwy” could happen. Regardless, it’s Valkyria’s big shot so I hope she makes the most of it.  There’s some talk on the social media feeds given Vince Russo recently gave his 2¢ on the state of current “Super Stars” and he’s not all that impressed. One of the things he touched on is how those who have made it are now paying it forward to the up and coming wrestlers that they like.  Now, in business, this is often how it goes. But, I can see how in the WWE

How’s It Going, Enthusiast? Happy Friday! So, there are few things to chat about today. Some stuff happened and WWE is over in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia so, we’ll be watching tape delayed action tonight and I’ll be checking in later tomorrow to watch the replay of the King & Queen of the Ring PPV. In the meantime, let’s see what’s going on, shall we? Let’s start in the Realm of AEW. There’s some less fortunate news there as Jim Ross was hospitalized recently due to complications from the flu. As much as we respect the man, we know he’s not in the best of health and a sickness like the flu can be deadly. Fortunately, it sounds like they got on the problem fairly early and it sounds like he should recover so let’s keep him in our prayers.  Another AEW personality on the mend is Kenny Omega. Word is that he had surgery for diverticulitis last week. That’s going to take some getting used to and some definite recovery time so keep him in our prayers as well. That sounds like something

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 occasion

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts! How’s everything going? Have to say it’s a bit of a slow news day in the Wrestling World but there’s enough to have a brief post. Shall we chat just a little?  Generally speaking, there are few of people out of action with injuries across the WWE Universe and the Realm of AEW. In AEW, the most notable is Eddie Kingston out with a knee injury. Given the looks of him, it’s surprising that’s all but he’s got to sit out for a little while. In the WWE Universe, Asuka, and Ivar are out while they heal up. Not devastating, but always too bad to see someone who loves to play sidelined. Let’s wish them full and speedy recoveries.  Besides that, we can get prepared for a full night of King/Queen of the Ring action on tonight’s SmackDown. The tournament starts to heat up as all the juicier showdowns start to take shape. Nia Jax will see what all the fuss is about when it comes to Jade Cargill. Tama Tonga will cut his teeth against LA Knight. Bianca Belair will see if T

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? I’m going to start today with a movie review because I saw The Iron Claw over the weekend and man , it’s tragic. I knew the Von Erich Family story was but jeez, it’s a bit of a rough watch. However, there is a bittersweetness to it and I do commend Zac Efron’s performance as Kevin Von Erich. Jeremy Allen White is also solid as Kerry but he tends to swing for the fences when he gets the job so, I feel that goes without saying. It is a downer though, so chase it with a comedy if you don’t want to dampen the rest of your day or night. I feel it’s a fair retelling of their story. Naturally, some things were changed for the sake of storytelling and I don’t have the full story, just what was on Dark Side of the Ring so, there’s got to be some omissions. Kevin Von Erich gave the film his blessing for the most part but has said the portrayal of his Father, Fritz, was not accurate. Kevin stated he was a “good and honorable man”. I don’t think the film presented hi

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Enjoying this Friday? I was hoping to get something done today but it didn’t happen. That means, next week 😉 In the meantime, we got a few things to chat about. As usual, it’s nothing too shocking but we can get a little convo out of it. You up for it? Let’s do it. On the outskirts of the Realm of AEW, it appears someone in Ric Flair’s orbit had a little chat with him and Flair has reconsidered his recent actions at Piesano’s and has issued an apology. Footage of the mild altercation circulated and most commenters would say that Flair didn’t come off looking the better man. If anything, the staff at Piesano’s were offered praise for keeping their professional faces on while Flair complained.  I didn’t watch the whole video but without full context, it’s hard to say who’s in the right or wrong. Yet, Flair does appear to be the A-hole this time around. I’m glad he opted to make amends. It’s best to just file this one under “My Mistake”.... In the WWE Unive

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Did you enjoy Le BackLash? I have to give it to the French Crowd. They were amazing! They definitely added something to the show. I don’t think it would have been half as interesting without them. I think that gives WWE incentive to come back more often. They certainly earned it. Apologies for not pre-posting. I’m in the midst of relocating, so posts will be more to the point and I may have to omit them sometimes depending on what’s going on. This will be the case for the next few months but I should be more or less settled by Summer Slam. Please bear with me.   Let’s start on the periphery of the WWE Universe tonight as Ric Flair has gotten himself some press recently. Apparently, he wasn’t too thrilled with a dining establishment in Florida. It’s unclear why Flair was ultimately asked to leave the restaurant but Flair took to Twitter/X to share his chagrin. It appears he was just trying to spend some time with extended family. Oh, well.   In

I'll be honest with you guys. My schedule doesn't really allow for me to post this time around. I'm in the midst of a relocation. However, the enthusiasm of the French crowd is encouraging. I'll be on the Twitters/X to partake in the unofficial watch party at 5pm PDT. Let's see what they do with this.  See You in a Bit. -Nicole Alexis (^_~)
