Wrestling's Best Week Ever

His Take:

 First, I can’t thank my co-blogger enough for letting me goof-off this week and write once again about my favorite sport (yeah, it’s a sport. We can discuss this outside if you like) Professional Wrestling!! I only try to voice my opinion on wrestling because the IWC is so large and overflowing that I’m willing to put money down that there’s more internet space devoted to it than football and basketball combined. But, if there’s a chance I can turn someone else on to something that I enjoy so much, I’m gonna take it.

 At 7pm this past Monday night, the biggest week in professional wrestling history. Big words, I know, but I mean it and you can ask anyone else who follows pro wrestling and they will agree. Why? Glad you asked. The Mayor is a fraud! Monday night kicked off the “season premiere” of Monday Night Raw. This is a big deal because there aren’t normally season premieres for wrestling. In fact, there’s no seasons because wrestling is a year-round sport. But, on Monday they debuted a brand new set, a brand new announce team, and a lot more. Tuesday, IMPACT Wrestling made it’s move from some no name network which I’d tell you about, but I honestly don’t remember what it was, to the AXS network where it will be seen in millions of more households. 

 The night everyone’s on the edge of their seat for, is Wednesday night. When a brand new wrestling “league” debuts on TNT. This league is called AEW and it’s the first new wrestling company with money and TV behind it in almost 40 years. Not only does it boast an impressive roster of veteran wrestlers, announcers, and production staff, but most impressive of all is the young up & comers they’ve got in their company. Including  actor Luke Perry’s son who’s future is very bright. Going up against this new company is another new company. Well, maybe new to you is a more accurate description.  The WWE’s developmental system is called NXT. It’s a place where the next generation of WWE Superstars preform. Before I forget to mention that it’s freakin’ awesome?!?!?!?! It’s existed for a while, but Wednesday night it makes it’s prime time debut on the USA network. Before that it was only available on the WWE Network & via the streaming service Hulu.

 Think you’ve hit your limit of wrestling for the week? You haven’t. Because WWE NXT UK debuts it’s new night and time on Thursday at 7pm on the WWE Network. By the  way, if you don’t have the WWE Network, it’s only $9.99 a month and it has more content than Netflix. 
I hope you’re not sick of wrestling yet, because on Friday is the biggest night of them all!!! Why? Because for the first time ever, a professional wrestling show comes to network television as part of it’s regular line-up when Smackdown comes to the FOX network. This one is gonna be big. I mean really big. They have more guest stars listed for that night that I can even begin to list, and they’ll be joining the regular Smackdown Superstars. I highly recommend catching this if at all possible. 
Okay, it’s Saturday and that means FUN!!! You’re in luck, because Saturday has the most out and outright fun hour of wrestling that’s being produced and that is WOW, women of wrestling. From the man who created GLOW in the 80’s comes this current all women’s wrestling company that features great wrestling, larger than life characters and a whole lot of laughs. 

 Sunday is the Lord’s day, so go to Church and enjoy some fellowship and coffee, juice and rolls. If you’ve never watched wrestling before or don’t want to watch it because it’s “fake”, just try watching one of these shows, because I guarantee you’re going to like one of them. It’s a very, very good time to be a wrestling fan.

Something Positive

Her Take: The scene that follows describes me embroiled in a confrontation with my arch-enemy.  This is a very dramatic scene, so please read it that way. If you feel the urge to exclaim something suitable for this mood or draw the back of your hand to your forehead in a gesture of utter dismay, feel free to do so. Just don’t bite your fingernails, that’s gross.  I knew at the beginning of last week I was going to have to write something positive for this blog entry, and now here I sit. Laptop open, fingers paused mid-word, essentially useless.  Enemy mine, I confront you.  I even told myself and my co-blogger that sure, I wasn’t feeling too many warm and fuzzy things yet but if something didn’t come to mind, I would just have to create something positive to talk about. Admittedly, up to that point, I had been spending most of my free time wallowing in self pity. (Hey, that’s not a one-and-done kind of thing, you really have to set aside time to rumi...

Four Things That Will Change the World

It turns out, much to our chagrin, that we are  "Kids these days"-years-old.  Yes, we have a lot of thoughts on what's wrong with the world, but instead of just griping about them to each other, this week we're happy to present our ideas on what we could all do to make the world better.  His Take:  Fixing the world seems hard, but I have it nailed down to just 4 easy steps. Why 4? 'Cause that’s the number that Sue told me I had. Challenge accepted!!  #1)Social Media Wipeout- Social Media is VERY useful. You can catch up with old friends or new friends, you can see what’s going on in their lives, you can check out movie or book reviews from people that aren’t “professional” reviewers. The possibilities are endless. The problem is..the possibilities are endless. For every person that says “Hey, that’s a great new car you got!” there’s one that says “I can’t believe you bought that piece of dogshit!”. Unfortunately, that’s just the beginning. I’m not ...

Her Take, October 2020

Ok, here’s the deal: we started this blog because we like to write. No, wait, it’s more than that. we need to write. Not in a melodramatic-tortured-artist kind of way (I wish) but in a we-decided-that-we-both-needed-to-address-our-mental-health kind of way. It’s the challenge, the honesty, and the ability to say what we want to say when we want to say it that keeps bringing us back to write more. And when we walk away, in no small part because you come here and read it, we feel better. Healthier.  And we did a good job of it for a long time. Sure, one of us (Me) was constantly late with their blog and one of us (also me) will suggest a topic and then get mad and throw a fit about how stupid the topic is. Hey, we know that we (I) have our issues to work out. But it’s good, right? We write a thing, you read a thing and.. Hey, with all of the love in the world, we started writing before anyone was reading so I there’s a chance we’d keep going if you stopped.  Well, I thought so a...
