WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Happy Friday and Halloween! Well, there still isn’t much going on in the Wrestling World so this should be another short post. Besides, I’m sure many of you have plans so I won’t keep you. Let’s just get to the chat.   So, I checked in on the Realm of AEW to see how the Future was progressing and it appears someone over there agrees with my take on Darby Allin. He was a lot more “forceful” on Dynamite this week. He was taking it to people and using chairs and whatnot to put a dent in ‘em. That’s what I’m talking about 😉 He’s gotta do something to stay afloat out there. I don’t mind him making it clear he means business. To tailor a Shakespeare quote, “Be he but little, he is fierce!”. I’m down.   It also appears that the Road to the Future is also getting paved as The Riders of Death appear to be branching out. I saw that Marina Shafir is set to partner up with the imposing Megan Bayne. With the headdress gear Bayne has been s...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   A Merry Monday to you. So, there’s not much going on in the Wrestling World at the moment so this will be a short post. It happens from time to time. What are you gonna do? Shall we just dive in? Here we go.   Well, the only thing kind of going around is speculation of AJ Lee returning to action after her re-debut. There were advertisements with her for RAW on November 17 th but word is that’s been scrapped so who knows.   Given how well-received she was, I can understand her waiting for something worth suiting back up for. With Lord Seth Rollins out, it may be a good time to start some shit with Lady Becky Lynch. She may be tapped to help fill the void. There’s also potential with both Roxanne Perez and Giulia with them both known for being “crazy” too. There’s stuff to do, for sure. Creative just has to flesh some stuff out. Can’t waste the lady’s time 😉   With that, let’s just get to tonight’s business as tonight’s...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s another Friday and I hope it’s a good one for you. There’s not much to report in the Wrestling World and it’s pretty quiet in the WWE Universe so, it should be a short post for the most part but there is some Fallout in the Realm of AEW so, we’ll talk a little about that but that’s about it. Ready to hash it out? Let’s go.   It was business as usual in the Realm of AEW for as much as I could tell. Darby Allin appears emboldened having won the “I Quit” Match and Jon Moxley, well…there appears to be some “regrets”. This disappointment seemed to spill out during his match with Kyle O’Reilly. Having shown that he is human, O’Reilly was not intimidated and was able to lock Moxley up enough to make him feel the only recourse was to take out the referee rather than tap. The brazen act caused the benches to clear and to me, that was the first clear indication of what is to come. My friends, the Future has Begun.   Expect things to r...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Welcome to Monday. Another day, another dollar as They say. We have a couple things to chat about as AEW had their WrestleDream PPV last weekend. The WWE Universe grumblings are minimal in comparison at present though we have some things to kick around. That should keep this post at a decent length so, let’s get into it, shall we? Here we go.   So, the highly anticipated “I Quit” Match between Darby Allin and Jon Moxley closed things out for WrestleDream as it could go for hours and hours given how these 2 were talking. Thankfully, it was about 35 minutes but I would say for the most part it was well-executed. Moxley was honest in how he was going to wear Allin down as he gave him plenty and then let the Death Riders get their hits in. Then he half drowned him in an aquarium before Sting made a cameo to “stop the nonsense” to give Allin the edge and win.   My only notes are that I feel Allin has to do more in these kinds of match...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? A happy Friday to you. Well, there are a couple things we can chat about today but overall, not much has grabbed my attention. That should make for a short post, but we’ll see. Ready to break the tidbits down? Let’s get to it. Over in the Realm of AEW it does appear that we are getting some foreshadowing for the Future. I have to say that I was kinda proud of the vignette between Darby Allin and Jon Moxley. They’ve come such a long way and the potential for the Future seems confirmed. It’s quite exciting. On top of that, Allin has plenty to contemplate when going into an “I Quit” Match with Mox, especially if he’s beat to hell before the thing even starts.  All I’ll say is remember what didn’t work. I can appreciate giving this feud some gravitas but ultimately, we as spectators want to have fun. It’s hard to enjoy the thing when it just looks like Allin is getting picked on. Go too far and people’s morals get challenged. That’s why I don’t care for Dea...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   It’s another Monday and I get to enjoy the old schedule for a moment. I should be back to it full time come November but for now, I’ll take in a little nostalgia.   As for the Wrestling World, there are a few things to talk about but I’ll be sticking to the obvious for the time being. Shall we get started? Let’s.   So, in the Realm of AEW Darby Allin and Jon Moxley appear to understand the assignment as Allin continues to take it to Mox as he crashed a panel at the New York Comic-Con to rough Mox up. Well, it looked like Allin got a lot of that but you know what I mean. He’s not afraid of Mox! Which is the right way to proceed.   Yet, if I’m Mox, I’m treating Allin like a cat. Given he’s 45lbs., Mox should be grabbing for the scruff and trying to “put him outside”. I know Orange Cassidy is more inherently cat-like but Allin is just skinny enough to manhandle so that’s what Mox should be doing. Completely “disrespecting” ...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Here we are at Crown Jewel-Perth and we’ll see if this is another so-so PPV. Given the timing, it could be but if WWE is planning more comprehensively and aiming for Survivor Series, we could get some tidbits of foreshadowing. A few years ago, I wouldn’t have bothered speculating. They certainly weren’t thinking that far ahead outside of booking the venue but these days, how to lay the groundwork for the future appears to be what these Creative Changes floating around are all about. You all know I’m all for it. But first, what about this Crown Jewel? It’s not the first show in Perth but it’s the first Crown Jewel to be held in Perth. I suppose this is how WWE plans to incorporate international shows, which I have no problem with. Yet, given the inaugural nature, you’d think there’d be some pizazz to this show.  Well, if it’s to transpire, it will be in what’s not advertised if you ask me. The show is booked solid but I don’t see any matches I’d be dying...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?   Enjoying this Friday? I have definitely had worse ones. So, there are a few things I can chat about in the Wrestling World. There are some rumors floating around but I’ll be focusing more on observations. Are you up for it? Let’s find out.   We’ll start off in the Realm of AEW as they are preparing for the Future. I like what I’m seeing to be honest. I checked out what those Riders of Death are up to and Darby Allin as well. Allin appears to have been given the nod to usher in the Future and I’m all for it. He may be 45lbs. but he gets it.   He’s ready for this “I Quit” Match with Jon Moxley and will set the whole place on fire if he has to. Well, that’s the only thing Mox understands.   I hope they continue to have fun, just mind the limits. This can touch on the humorous but not the ridiculous. It’s a fine line, I know but things have to always go “kayfabe too far”. Remember what got me bitching in the first place. No one ...

How’s It Going Enthusiasts?   Hanging in there? It’s all you can do sometimes. Well, there’s not much going on in the Wrestling World but there are a couple things to talk about. Are you ready for it? Let’s get into it.   So, we’ll start in the real world but WWE Universe adjacent as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson suffered a minor blow as his new movie The Smashing Machine isn’t doing too well at the box office. I don’t think this is a surprise as it’s an A24 offering and these are known for their quality as opposed to quantity however, post-COVID that basically translates to “a streamer”.   This is probably not a film you have to see on a big screen. Getting comfortable at home should do just fine and these days, many prefer it.   I have to admit my last trip to the movies was disappointing at best. It’s clear that though there may be some action this is not a big, flashy action flick so The Smashing Machine will probably recoup any losses over time. I’ll ce...

How’s It’ Going, Enthusiasts? Enjoying your Friday? Can’t say I can complain that much. Looking forward to sleeping in 😉 But before we get to that, let’s chat a bit about this here “wrassling”. There’s not much going on but that hasn’t stopped me before. Let’s just do a brief stop in the Realm of AEW. The path to the Future appears to be in the process of being paved so, I’ll let that asphalt dry. In the meantime, it looks like WWE doesn’t care where Andrade goes next as he turned up back in AEW.  The general sentiment is that Andrade is just going where the wind blows but ideally he’d prefer to head back to WWE yet, given how the word going around that he was more or less let go, I’m not sure how feasible that is. He’s a good performer. No doubt he’s talented but alas, the WWE Universe just doesn’t seem to care. It happens. It’s a popularity contest in the end and Andrade just wasn’t that popular. Not sure that’s gonna change back at AEW but he should be more generally appreciate...
