What the World is Watching

Leave a comment

World Wrestling Entertainment as I know it is no longer available, that version died when Vince sold the company and eventually left. WWE doesn’t have that magic anymore. I keep up with it through social media and if needed I’ll watch a PLE like a Rumble or Mania… Yes, I been following Last Match John. I like who WWE chose as Cena’s finial opponent, Gunther. Cena-Knight would seem to “WWE Style” or boring.

Other promotions like AEW or GCW I follow on a daily basis. I attend their shows every time they’re in or around my area. The E stopped doing house shows and their ticket prices are ridiculous. I never made it to a WrestleMania but have watched a Royal Rumble live. One out of the big two isn’t bad. Edge won that year.

What WWE is good at for me is all the history they love to spread around. Like on YouTube with WWE Vault or their partnership with Mattel. I’m loving those Monday Night War figures. nWo 4-Life. You peeps know. On the other hand… Once 2025 is over all WWE content is leaving Peacock. I’m really going to miss watching those WCW Saturday Night or Thunder tappings.

It all started when my mom had enough and sat me in front of a TV and so happened WWF was playing on the USA Network. I don’t remember what match got me hooked, love to know that answer. I was a Hulkamaniac, I watched the Mega Powers form. Pay Pre View wasn’t an option for me back then, but a family friend did buy and record WrestleMania XIV for me. Tyson-Austin along with the Heartbreak Kid was the hottest thing going in 1998.

The Attitude Era… Looking back it was nothing but moments and laughs. Some were good, but I wanted in ring work. I saw what Hitman brought to the table and I wanted more. Dean Malenko, Silver King, Benoit, Regal… That’s the type of wrestling not Stone Cold with a beer bath. I can say I was lucky enough to watch ECW on TNN. 

A lot has happened since the start of the Ruthless Aggression era… That’s for another time… I’m not fully given up on WWE. It’s apart of me, but that spark that Vince had is gone and I can feel the change, if you will. I will always love the WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment. but not like I did before, thank you TKO.

AEW: Double or Nothing the Aftermath

Leave a comment

A lot of this PPV was hit and miss for me. I loved the near perfect match between Cody and Dustin Rhodes, it was a bloody mess that reminded me of Austin-Hart from WrestleMania 13. Cody got the win but he had help by Brandi and a couple cheap shots to throw Dustin off his game.

The whole match was a emotional rollercoaster. Dustin hit Cody with Cody’s own finisher and having him kick out at two made the crowd go bananas. Earl Hebner was officiating said match and that kinda brought me out of the match at times. He still has that swinging arm when counting to three and he is up there in age and he seemed to be stumbling around too.

Hangman Page won the Casino Battle Royale and you talk about WWE type booking. Put over your own company guy that’s friends with bookers. Also, I’m not all that sad that PAC cancelled his match. I wanted MJF to win the battle royale, he’s the best on the mic and one heck of a worker. Put him against Jericho or Omega and said match would get five stars.

Young Buck and Lucha Bros. probably had match of the night outside of Cody-Dustin. The Bucks went over but Penta & Fenix never gave it. Sure it was a spot fest at times but I enjoyed every bit of the Bucks fighting from underneath.

Jericho-Omega was good, I liked this match better than their first in New Japan. This match felt like there was something to lose, where in New Japan it just a hardcore match seeing who can last the longest. Jericho won and he and Hangman Page will face off for the AEW World Championship in the future… But! the surprise from tonight came after the Jericho-Omega match when Jon Moxley came from the crowd and took out Jericho and a referee with a double arm DDT. He then had his sights on Omega, but Kenny fought back until they both wound up on the Double or Nothing stage where Moxley hit a double arm knocking him out.
