Looking Forward To It??

So I have been trying catch on to Euchre in time for the WQMX Winter Euchre Tournament. 

The Tournament is Saturday Night at St. George Fellowship Center in Fairlawn brought to you by TLC Catering. 

Needless to say, I haven't caught on quickly.  It is SOLD OUT going to be a lot of fun with prizes, food, cash bar and much more. 

Can't wait to see y'all.... Looking forward to that at least... not sooo much the card playing.

What Do You Think?

Well with the Super Bowl on the way and we know Reba will sing the National Anthem.  She has a new sitcom coming to NBC as well as another season as a Judge on the The Voice.

Looks like Lainey Wilson will be in the Coors Light Chill Train Super Bowl Commercial.  Lainey will be in person at the SB also and says she is excited for the gmae and performers...  Could she add some bell bottom country flare to the half-time show????  One thing we do know is, she is will be headlining The Country Fest in June...

New Songs are being teased: 

Luke Combs -

 

Keith Urban - 

 

Kane & Katelyn Brown

When's It Due-T?

Kane Brown knows he has a baby boy on the way.  Before his family tree adds another branch.  
The Brown's are trying some of that magic that made "Thank God" a huge success.  

Kane has already teased a song about depression.  This duet with his wife Katelyn is definitely the flipside of that.

Could the future hold a K&K Album?  Or a Katelyn ft. Kane??  So many questions... but mainly when is this Duet, Due?

Check This Out!

With Deadpool 3 coming to a filming conclusion.  Ryan Reynolds are Hugh Jackson will not hit the Big Screen until July 26th....

But the big release today was the Trailer for Roadhouse.  I think the original looked a lot better fighting wise.  Patrick Swayze's small town charm will never be duplicated.   Sam Elliot is just a legend.  Anyway see what you think of this rendition.  "I thought it'd be bigger" if you are a Roadhouse Fan.

Wrasslin' Wednesday

This Saturday Night is my favorite Premium WWE Event!

The Royal Rumble...
 
Before we get into my Wrasslin' Wednesday.
 
Big news for Netflix:
In a $5 Billion media rights deal Netflix will be the weekly provider of "Raw" Series for 10 Years starting in January of 2025.... And will be the hub of huge events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam and the Rumble.  Smackdown will head to USA and NXT will head to CW in October....pretty big things going on for better or for worse 
 
The Rock has been appointed to the TKO Board of Directors. 
 
Now onto this weekend's Rumble.
 
The 30-Men's Royal Rumble:  There will be all the big names and some surprises.  I would expect Brock Lesnar back for this one as it is one of his greatest events.  With the field thick with talent, I could see various participants in the running.  CM Punk has been spouting off that he will win the Rumble since his return.  Cody Rhodes is always in the running.  Sami Zayn's return would be sweet!  My pick is CM Punk because who says they will win for this long?  Drew McIntyre or Gunther are my dark horses.
 
The 30-Women's Royal Rumble:  This one would be a no brainer for me... It is The Man's Game and everyone else is just playing along.  I would expect Sasha Banks to make a return the the WWE in some shape or form.  I think Becky Lynch wins.  Bayley is my dark horse.
 

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton vs. LA Knight vs. AJ Styles:  This one could be won by any of the 4 participants.  Being Roman Reigns is in the match and the holding the belt for 1000's of days is more important.  Roman Reigns retains the title but with a lot of help from The Bloodline.

United States Championship: Logan Paul vs. Kevin Owens: This may be the best match of the night.  If Logan Paul's schedule is busy.  I imagine he will lose the title to KO.   If he doesn't Austin Theory or someone will have a hand in on winning the match for Logan Paul.

Well It's Not Halftime!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well it is probably not the best position to be in...  You are like Ben, who wouldn't want to sing the National Anthem before the Super Bowl?  

Congrats to one of the best to ever do it... REBA!!!!

 The reason I said it's not the best situation.  Reba is following this performance from last year.  

 If anyone can live up to the hype it's Reba!  Boy, Stapleton just killed it last year though.
