WWE Musings

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? It’s Clash in Paris and I’ll just be honest. I don’t really have any Matches of Interest. This is more me than WWE, though. I’m just not intrigued in that way. I kinda just want to watch and see if anyone impresses. Is that so wrong? I’ll probably be like this until Survivor Series. I’ve seen enough of this to know what’s a big deal and what’s not. I’m going to watch. I haven’t lost my interest but I really can’t comment on what’s going to transpire. I’m just hoping it’s either well-executed or I’m thoroughly entertained.  There’s a lot of room for fun today so I'm more interested to see if they let it happen or try to make it. That may be why I’m so…curious. We see WWE is starting to make things work and get this ship functional. That said, do they forget how to have a good time in the process? Something tells me Clash in Paris is a chance to see.  All the scripted action led us to now. Do we want to be here? We’ve already been here wi...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Well, there are some things to talk about but we’ll only focus on a few. I think you probably have an inkling so, why delay. Let’s hop right in. Out in the wilds of the Indies, that incident with Raja Jackson appears to be realer than many may have thought. It got general news traction so something wasn’t right. Apparently, there was some sort of “interaction” backstage that may have led to Jackson going as far as he did. That doesn’t condone the action but it explains what we saw.  Personally, I think this might have been a publicity stunt gone wrong. Jackson being the son of a decorated UFC fighter, I can see why they’d want to display him as “no joke” but the takedown wasn’t done properly and whatever buzz they tried to get going, turned into outrage. That’s where the kid being green comes into play, I would say. Regardless, it forces Rikishi to reevaluate how to move forward. You live and learn, no matter your age. Regarding the Realm of AEW, I went...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   There are some rumblings in the Wrestling World but it’s on the periphery. A lot of people have an opinion, so I’ll go ahead and serve up mine. Ready? Here we go.   So, in the wilds of the Independent Territories, it appears that the former UFC Champion, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has a son going by Raja Jackson who seems to be dipping his toes into the pro-wrestling pool. The clip is making the rounds and in it you’ll see the younger Jackson taking out another wrestler and then pummeling him. Most are admonishing him profusely as the taken-out wrestler ended up knocked out and in the hospital.   From what I could see, it looked like Jackson may have been a little too excited at the beginning and simply executed the Spinebuster wrong. The poor guy who took the hit did hit his head hard on the mat. Yet, the “pummeling” looked like the usual stuff to me so…I’m not sure how serious this actually is. Either the kid was just too hyped-...

How’s It Going Enthusiasts?   There are some things to chat about but what it concerns is more about digital logistics than wrestling. Shall we just get into it? Shouldn’t be a long post ‘cause of that. Let’s go.   So, that ESPN deal that forces us all to reconsider our streaming services has dropped early. Instead of having until 2026 to think about it, we’re being forced to make a decision now. Things are a lot easier for international viewers but for those of us stateside, we have some decisions to make.   I may have to cancel and resubscribe to HULU under the Disney+ Bundle to make this work for me. I get HBO through them but I could get that through another service I stream so I may just do that to make this make some sense. Looks like Peacock will keep some WWE content so it’s not an either or situation anymore. We’re being forced to consider how we get our fix.   Some commenters are still out mainly due to the point I brought up previously. It’...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Looking forward to hearing about what the hell is going on with Naomi? I have to say I’m curious. There are a few other tidbits to contemplate making their rounds. Shall we have a brief chat? I’m up for it if you are. Here we go. In the Realm of AEW, the Future seems to be on its way in good time. Yet, the real potential news is talk of Chris Jericho returning to WWE. He’s no spring chicken at 50-something but I think he could certainly be utilized. I can see him either becoming a confidant of Paul Heyman’s or rivaling him as being a slick former performer who knows the ropes and definitely knows how to counter the likes of Heyman and Lord Seth Rollins for that matter.  I think we’re all agreed that in-ring action is out but I’m fine with him backing up brawl action and not being afraid to tussle backstage when trouble finds him but I see him talking and perhaps sitting in on Commentary from time to time. I’m not opposed to it if they just keep it hones...

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Glad to see the weekend? I know I am. Well, there are some interesting rumblings going on in the Wrestling World. A couple have my eye particularly so, this shouldn’t be that long of a post but they should be decent talking points. Shall we get into it? Let’s. The first order of business appears to be the rumor of WWE on some sort of quest to end AEW. I keep seeing conversations and posts on the subject and to me, this seems a little ridiculous. If it were 20-25 years ago, no doubt. I wouldn’t be remotely surprised. WWE was more petty and spiteful then. But nowadays, I’m not sure what the point is.  I think we can safely say that WWE “won” whatever battle for supremacy there may have been. Other promotions have come and gone and the smaller ones remain smaller and less popular, AEW included though I appreciate how it has become the alternative. I still can’t bring myself to watch regularly but I’ll sit through a good match and of course I feel I ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Just another Monday? Yeah, same here for the most part. Well, there’s not much going on in the Wrestling World though…I’ll just say that seeds have been planted for the Future but only those who know what the Future Holds know what that means 😉 Besides that, we have a talking point or 2. Let’s get to it, shall we.   There’s not much to comment on in the Realm of AEW so, we’ll just keep to the WWE Universe as the news there is that Karrion Kross and Scarlett have been moved to the Alumni section. However, many feel this is some sort of work, similar to R-Truth’s dismissal or Seth Rollins’ injury. Most are expecting a return and perhaps reincarnation that explains the actions.   Personally, I don’t really mind either way. Kross was more interesting in NXT but I don’t know if we can take him that seriously in WWE without the cool entrance. And if he’s not imposing enough, I would have tried him as being comically crazy. We don’t h...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? It’s a mixed bag of a week, isn’t it? Some stuff to consider generally speaking. The Wrestling World is more or less quiet but there are some changes coming down the pike that will certainly force us to think about what’s worth spending money on. We’ll get in to that in a little bit but let’s have our little chat. We’ll make a stop in the Realm of AEW as we didn’t so much get glances at the Future but we did see how the present is moving along. The Riders of Death are still messing with people. Mike “Speedball” Bailey had to do what he had to, to survive against Jon Moxley and though he took the L, he was impressive. He’s got Babyface written all over him so I didn’t mind the uphill battle he tried to climb. It wasn’t exactly fair but we all know it’s not gonna be. That’s why Darby Allin had to throw some action in. That kid has been growing on me and his latest stunt continues to lead me to give him consideration. He “kidnapped” an interfering Wheeler Yuta...

How’s It Going Enthusiasts?   Well, it was quite the SummerSlam this year, wasn’t it 😉 I was expecting surprises but none quite like Brock Lesnar returning. Though, kinda par for the WWE course it definitely makes it a bit uncomfortable to participate. However, if John Cena ever wanted someone “big and bad” to slay before retiring, Lesnar is it. Yet, that’s not all that happened so let’s touch on the high points before we contemplate the giant “ ? ”   I think for me, Night 1 wins just due to lack of controversy. Or at least, the controversy was scripted. Night 2 makes going forward very hazy but it’s not impossible. As for Match of the Nights, most liked the main events in both cases. CM Punk vs. GUNTHER was just what I expected it to be. Punk getting glory for 2 minutes before Lord Seth Rollins comes in to show him how it’s really gonna be. That’s great for the Future.   Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena was great, in my opinion. It had all the ups and downs. I was...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Welcome to SummerSlam, Day 1! So, I usually post on both days but this time around, I think I’ll just be honest and post once. I’m only interested in 2 matches and the rest is up to our players to make interesting. Not that they can’t but my curiosity has only piqued for 2 potential hotspots.  The first is the TLC Tag Team Match. I don’t recall who’s in it and don’t feel like looking it up but given the last displays, this could be the highlight of the weekend. No pressure 😉 Yet, given these players are known for their skill and prowess, I feel the biggest challenge will be getting in their own way. Hopefully, they can relax and just let the magic happen. Then after that, it’s the Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena Street Fight. Did Cena really Face Turn? Personally, I’m sensing the Rock and potentially even Travis Scott to return. All the reports of a falling out could be disinformation. You know how it is in the WWE Universe. Can’t trust anything. I still kin...
