Wrestling with Jesse Rucinski

Today, I have to discuss the unfortunate and heartbreaking news of the death of WWE Superstar Bray Wyatt. I give my honest reaction to it all, what I want him to be remembered for, and what his work helped me workout through the years.

I am back and there is a lot to discuss from the night that was in Detroit for the 2023 edition of WWE SummerSlam. I give my honest and blunt reaction to it all for you including the good, the bad, and the god awful.

I would love to say that this moved surprised me but that would be a lie. Endeavor, who is the parent company of the UFC, has bought the WWE and Vince McMahon has found his way back into the companies creative. This was evident on both Night 2 of WrestleMania and definitely on Monday Night Raw. There are a lot of moving parts and fallout to come but I give my thoughts and reaction to it all today.

WrestleMania 2023 has come and gone and Night 2 delivered some good matches and moments for us all. The Triple Threat match for the Intercontinental Championship stole the show. The Main Event still delivered a good story regardless of how we feel about the outcome. I will discuss that and so much more today and give my honest reaction to it all.

I want to start by saying I feel that Night 1 of WrestleMania was the superior night in 2023. I'll tell you what they got wrong, what stole the show, and much more. I even finally have something nice to say about Dominik Mysterio. I get to all of that and my reaction to so much more today.

It was a big afternoon for NXT on Saturday in Los Angeles to kickoff WrestleMania weekend for the WWE with Stand and Deliver. There was the ugly spot for Tiffany Stratton, Wes Lee and the 5 Way match for the NXT North America Championship stealing the show, Carmelo Hayes becoming the new NXT Champion, and so much more to discuss. Many people made many highlights, and they even surprised me along the way. I give my reaction to it all today.

WrestleMania 2023 Night 2 has so many big matches to discuss. I am joined by Dan, and we break it all down, who we think will win, steal the show, stink the joint out, and discuss everything else along the way including some sidebar conversations.

We have finally made it to WrestleMania weekend for 2023 for the WWE. NXT Stand and Deliver 2023 is also right around the corner and happening this weekend. I breakdown all of the matches, who I think is going to win and why, who I think is going to steal the show, and so much more.

I must say that I enjoyed being at the Spectrum Center in Uptown Charlotte to see NXT Vengeance Day live. It was the first time since COVID that the WWE has had NXT outside the state of Florida, and I am happy I was there. I will break down the matches, the highlights, where you can find me in the crowd, and give my reaction to the entire night. Along with some things you didn't see happen on air.

I also give my reaction to all of the matches that have been announced for NXT Vengeance Day as well.

It was an interesting night of wrestling on Friday the 13th to say the least. We got to see both WWE Smackdown and AEW Rampage. I will discuss the highlights, what was done terribly, and give my blunt reaction to all of it.

My honest and blunt reactions to everything that happened on WWE Smackdown from Friday Night. I discuss all of the highlights and break them all down.

Today I was wanting to only talk about old WWE Royal Rumbles that I have been watching and give my reaction and warm and fuzzies about that but then Vince McMahon happened. I will give both my reaction to those old Rumble matches and the news of Vince McMahon forcing his way back into the WWE with an old-fashioned quid pro quo amongst other things.

I will start by saying that the new AEW set debuted at last night's Dynamite does have a modern twist to it. Outside of that there was a lot of the same old problems with AEW, and I get through it all. From matches, segments, to lazy writing, and everything in between.

I will say that they picked the right match to start the year for NXT in 2023. Apollo Crews and Carmelo Hayes tore the house down to start the show last night. I give my blunt reaction to that and the rest of the show in todays episode.

Season 2 Premier and the WWE is at it again. Another hit and miss for the WWE on Raw last night on the first Raw of 2023. I breakdown all of the highlights in the bluntest way possible. I will also tell you what the WWE desperately needs to change or get rid of in 2023.

It was a big year for the machine that is the WWE in 2022. Whether you are discussing Raw, Smackdown, NXT, or the multiple Premium Live Events.

Today, we are doing our first ever yearly awards show, and we are starting with AEW. It was definitely a year of the highest of highs and the lowest of lows for AEW in 2022. We cover everything from male and female wrestlers of the year and carry it all the way down to biggest disappointment of the year. Give it a listen, let us know your reaction and thoughts in the comments section, and share the thing out for us.

NXT Deadline and the Iron Survivor Challenge matches were a success for NXT and the WWE as a whole. The Iron Survivor matches delivered. The New Day and Bron Breakker Championship matches delivered for the night. We also got to see Isla Dawn have her first PLE match in NXT. I will break it all down and give my reaction to it all so check it out.

A preview show discussing tonight's NXT Deadline PLE on the WWE Network on Peacock. I will break down all of the matches and each superstar that is participating in the first ever Iron Survivor Challenges.

There are a few things that I am going to discuss today pertaining to WWE, NXT, and tonight's AEW Dynamite. Topics include Kevin Owens, Rhea Ripley, Nikkita Lyons, and the first time getting to hear MJF as AEW Champion on Dynamite.

Survivor Series WarGames definitely hit the mark that the WWE needed it to last night. I breakdown the entire night worth of highlights from all of the matches and where I hope they will go going forward in 2022 and into the new year and Wrestle Mania season.

I think that Triple H bringing WarGames to Survivor Series is the right call for the WWE going forward. It is the change to bring Survivor Series back to what it once was before their traditional elimination matches started losing their luster and effort really in matchmaking.  Also, I can't ignore the triple threat match for the United States Championship with Seth Rollins defending against both Bobby Lashley and Austin Theory in the pure wrestling match that will steal the show. I am very excited to see what this can do for the WWE and Survivor Series going beyond 2022.

There was a lot that happened yesterday in Saudi Arabia during the 2022 edition of WWE Crown Jewel.  I break it all down and give some insights about where I hope certain things go.

We have finally made it to the 2022 edition of WWE Crown Jewel.  I break it all down for all of you.  I give my predictions for who I would like to see win, who I think will win, and why I feel the way that I do.

There are a bunch of little things that I want to discuss from AEW, NXT, and the WWE.  Several topics and highlights to discuss including CM Punk, Joe Gacy, Brock Lesnar, and many more.

I can say that overall, I think it was successful night for NXT and WWE as a whole coming out of Halloween Havoc.  The ladder match to open the night stole the show and we got to see Wes Lee crowned the new North American Champion.  We also got to see Mandy Rose and Bron Breakker successfully defend their titles.  I break it all down and give my thoughts on it all going forward.

It is definitely a stacked card that Triple H and Shawn Michaels have put together for tonight's NXT Halloween Havoc.  We are going to have a great night with some great matches and the NXT Womens, NXT North American, and NXT Championship matches that are all slated for this evening.  I am really looking forward to the 5-man ladder match, ambulance match, and triple threat for the NXT Championship in the Main Event as well.  I break down the entire Premium Live Event and give as many predictions as I can going into the show.

It is safe to say that Triple H delivered again at the 2022 edition of WWE Extreme Rules.  The matches we thought were going to be good were, the one we weren't excited about went as expected, and we got to see a finish that Dan and I can honestly say we didn't see coming.  The stuff with The Miz and Dexter Lumis delivered again.  We also got to finally see the end of the White Rabbit with the return of Bray Wyatt to end the show.  We'll break it all down so check it out.

It is nice to say that since Triple H has taken over things have gotten better, and we finally have an Extreme Rules Premium Live Event where every match is some sort of extreme rules stipulation.  Dan and I will go over every match, tell you who we think will win and why, and also have some sidebar conversations along the way about the Saudi show, AEW, Survivor Series and several others along the way.

I thought it was actually a very successful night for AEW on Dynamite Grand Slam. It was a night of Champions and Championship matches.  Chris Jericho and Claudio Castagnoli started the night off properly for the ROH Championship and Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley closed it out on a high note with the AEW Championship on the line.  We got to see MJF do his thing as well as Saraya make her AEW debut.  Many other highlights, moments, and news to discuss as well.

There has been what I consider to be both a good and exciting move from the new regime at WWE since Triple H took over after the retirement of Vince McMahon.  This time it is both the Fight Pit being brought from NXT to the Main Roster for Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle to fight in at Extreme Rules.  The other being WarGames coming from NXT to the Main Roster for Survivor Series.  I believe doing a WarGames match compared to the regular elimination match can give them a better build and a better product for the fans.

The Monster Among Men has made his way back home to WWE by returning on Raw and destroying 4 tag teams like it was nothing.  Yet another return under the belt of Triple H and I am excited and curious to see how differently he is used with the new regime in charge.  I will discuss the different phases of his career from a Rosebud under Adam Rose, to his time with Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family, to the WrestleMania match with Shane McMahon, and many other of the career arcs along the way.

I do believe that it was a good night for the machine at WWE Clash at the Castle.  The matches that I thought would steal it did and the rest of the matches were still good and some of them even exceeded expectations in my opinion.  I'm still iffy on the heel turn from Dominik Mysterio but he can go out on Raw and completely prove me wrong and that's what I am hoping for.  Only time will tell with that, but all of my feelings are here.

It was a pretty amazing afternoon for everyone involved in the NXT Worlds Collide Event between NXT and NXT UK.  The matches I thought were going to be amazing were and stole the show as I thought.  They put on good matches through the rest of the night as well and even through a wrinkle into the show that I didn't see coming.  That's really all we can ask for if we're being honest.

Coming off of Clash at the Castle yesterday there are high hopes going into today's Worlds Collide with both NXT and NXT UK.  I think that Carmello Hayes and Ricochet are going to absolutely steal the show with their abilities with the Tag Title Unification Elimination match right behind them.  Not taking anything away from the rest but I think those two are going to be bangers.  I will also tell you why I can't make a pick when it comes to the unification match between Mandy Rose, Meiko Satomura, and Blair Davenport.  I give all of my predictions and the reasoning behind them and how it fits into everything going forward.

There is a lot to discuss when it comes to WWE Clash at the Castle.  I will give my predictions from both of my perspectives being my feelings as just a fan and then my feelings and predictions coming from the business aspect of it.  I will tell you I think that Gunther and Sheamus will tear the house down and steal the show.  I discuss all of the shenanigans that I and I'm sure many others think are going to happen in several of the matches to include the Main Event itself, why I hope Dominik Mysterio doesn't do a heel turn, and many other Clash at the Castle matches and moments along the way.

It was an interesting episode of NXT 2.0 to say the least.  So many appearances from Superstars currently on the main roster.  A lot of them make complete sense because of those Superstars histories with both NXT and NXT UK and we got to see Fitt Finlay.  We're even going to get some good matches out of some of those people that showed up to include Ricochet and Carmello Hayes.

It has definitely been a week in the world of professional wrestling.  We discuss many things from the week and many things from other eras of wrestling.  We definitely talk about the cluster that was the AEW Championship unification match between CM Punk and the winner in the squash match that was Jon Moxley.

I'm sure everyone knows what happened last night on AEW Dynamite.  I personally think that the entire situation stinks.  Unless Tony Khan, the powers that be, and doctors at AEW are completely incompetent.  Maybe it is all of the injuries and surgeries I have had, and the recovery process is in my head.  There is no way that CM Punk wasn't running ropes, taking bumps, and putting full pressure on that foot before they let him come back and cleared him unless they're all incompetent.  I find it hard to believe that CM Punk legit hurt himself that quick or reinjured his foot and they let him have the match or didn't stop it to avoid further injury.  They didn't even need to bring him back yet because Jon Moxley was holding down the fort as AEW Champion during Punks injury.  I think the whole thing stinks.  Kicked him with his right foot and collapsed holding his left foot.

No one can truly deny the mark that Triple H has had on the wrestling world.  Today, we're going to go from his days in WCW, to his early WWF days, and to and through his character arcs and moments through the WWE.  We hit on his time in NXT and what those days were like and what they can be once again.  A lot of everything in-between as well through his long career.
