The Premiere of Combat 1: Royal Rumble 2023

Lord Cephas and the Earl of Florida reconnect with their roots and dive into the first WWE paper view of the year for Combat 1

Lord Cephas and the Earl of Florida journey down the rabbit hole to a time when Monday night wrestling was king. Raw vs Nitro.
But alas, those days have gone. The sun has set on Monday night rating wars between WCW and the, at the time, WWF.
Has the sun truly set on the height of wrestling? Will the night rob us of bright times with some of our favorite wrestling personalities and athletes?
Or is it only storm clouds that blot out the sun and cast the beloved sport into a false evening? Will the clouds part and deliver us a rainbow to promise more sports entertainment in the form of professional wrestling?

Journey with us to the Rumble as we search for the answers to questions. Like, is wrestling still fun? Will the sporting spectacle persevere? And can two (cough cough) older gentlemen reclaim the joys of professional wrestling they loved in their youth?
Here we go!

The Earl of Florida and Lord Cephas Begin

Two Cousins and lifelong friends express their love and appreciation for all things science fiction, fantasy, and pop culture. Lord Cephas and the Earl of Florida share weekly insights on MidnightMagicMusings.

You may ask, how did the great and glorious duo of the Earl of Florida and Lord Cephas begin?
It all started many moons ago. Come close, my curious adventurers, in search of amusement, information, and a completely unique perspective.

Oddly enough the arrival of the Earl and Cephas occurred on the same say, a few years apart. Born into the same Clan, slightly different vintage, the two boys became confidants, friends, co-conspirators, and brothers. Star Wars, Star Trek, M.A.S.H., Buck Rogers, wrestling, church, pizza, video games, Florida Gator football, and many other things united the like-minded youth.

Years and different professional paths attempted to create a great divide between the two. However, the cousins (more like brothers), refused to bow under the pressures of the deadly adulting threat. It’s like the old saying, “you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose. Or your family.” Yet we will always pick one another as friends and brothers. And maybe each other’s nose, when the “rule police'“isn’t looking. Okay, maybe that’s just the Earl.

Now, in the present, we have united to bring our many midnight phone calls of various topics and views to you, the public. Be afraid. Be very afraid. I jest of course. But seriously, join us on our Midnight Magic Musings as we cover pop culture, film, television, literature, and any other random points of interest that rear their heads for our conversations.
