Wrasslin' Thursday
This Saturday is going to be an interesting one... As the WWE takes Crown Jewel to Saudi Arabia for a 1pm start. (Thank goodness Ohio State plays at Night.)
There is a lot of alignment that could play out at this one.
Seth Rollins defends his World Heavyweight Championship vs. Drew McIntyre. You can be there will be some interference with this one. Seth Rollin's will return for Monday Night Rollins Title in hand.
Rhea Ripley defends her Women's World Championship in the Fatal 5-Way vs. Nia Jax vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Shayna Baszler vs. Zoey Stark. The truth is all these women could win the title. I think Rhea retains but only with a little help from DomDom... Mami is always on top.
Roman Reigns defends his Universal Championship vs. LA Knight. I would love to see LA put an end to Roman's Title Run but I do not see him losing gold at anything other than Mania, Summerslam or Rumble. YEAHHHH!!!!
Rey Mysterio defends his US Championship vs. Logan Paul – This match makes a title Prime of the taking and think old Logan Paul tastes good...
Cody Rhodes vs. Damian Priest – I think Cody beats Priest but pays for it with Judgement Day making him pay the price. And I don't think the loss will stop Senor Money In The Bank from maybe cashing in...
They aren't leaving Broadway Alone...
Country as a genre is one you learn from the past...
That is why Lainey Wilson's Watermelon Moonshine might remind of you Strawberry Wine. Cole Swindell took a tried and true #1 in Heads Carolina and put his spin on it. Luke Combs took Fast Car and turned it into Gold a 2nd time.
What do you they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Mimickery is the most sincere showing of flattery. With Country Music following in those footsteps. It's only fitting that the bar business comes along with it. Especially on Broadway in Nashville. Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert and many more have local spots in Nashville.
With the recently opened Garth Brooks Friends in Low Places, Eric Church's Cheif's opening in the near future, Luke Combs has allegedly been in talks, Morgan Wallen is opening a spot, Hank Williams Jr. Boogie Bar just solidified an address on Broadway.... needless to say the blue print is there in country music. The recipe is pretty simple.
Build a catalog...
Build a Brand/Career/Fanbase....
Don't take any flack...
Surround yourself with good folks personally, musically and financially.
Get a Bar.
Rinse and repeat.
Don't Miss It!
Every Weekday at 5! Tune in and head out of work with your 'Drive at 5' from National Design Mart on 94.9 WQMX!

Haunted Houses and More...
Best Movies NEVER!!!
On many occasions I've said that there are way better movie critics at this station than I!
I have watched the movie about a killer tire on Netflix called Rubber. Basically, I see weird movies I have to at least check out the trailer.
Like the... "The Winnie The Pooh" Horror Movie. Or should I say Horr-ible Movie...
This popped up and made me laugh out loud, when I saw it on the screen on Hulu...
"I thought it was just going to be victims running way slowly and getting away easily.
I was wrong! And so is this!!!
Sounds Haunted...
These are some scary themed songs for your Friday The 13th... (here are a coupla of my favorites...)
Willy What???
This one looks interesting. I am still a big Gene Wilder Fan. But we'll see how this one turns out? And if Grandpa Joe is still a jerk.
