A Star Is Born!!!!

So the Dusty Armadillo and 94.9 WQMX recently welcomed Corey Kent to debut on the Dusty Stage.

During his set he asked if anyone knew the Lauren Alaina part of his new duet "Now Or Never"!  Courtney was picked out and raced to the stage!  

She nailed it... Corey was loving it too.

 Get your tickets for all the Dusty Armadillo Shows at DustyA.com and who knows maybe you will make it on stage too... Never know??

Like, Love, Listen

I get a lot of questions...  either out and about or on the Toth Buick GMC Textline...

Today I had listener Jordan of Atwater ask for Tucker Wetmore obviously excited for the sold out show at The Dusty Armadillo on Friday.  
He said it was his favorite song... and asked what mine was right now?

Tell you the truth there are a ton of great songs all over the station in talking new music.

 This is just off the top of my head...  I like Darlin' from Chase Matthew,  Would If I Could - Ernest, Nate Smith - Fix What I Didn't Break, Justin Moore, John Morgan/Aldean are all great...  Let me know what  you are really liking right now at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. love to hear it!  Thank you for listening and don't forget to join the Music Panel to make 94.9 WQMX truly Your Country...

Belated Wrasslin' Wednesday

WWE Crown Jewel Championship -- Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther: Rhodes and Gunther are both in their first WWE Title Reigns which whoever wins will add some more hardware as the New Crown Jewel Championship...  No matter who wins, there will be a long list of wrestlers getting in line.  I think Cody Rhodes drops this one to Gunther since I don't believe belts are up for grabs just the newly added Crown Jewel Championship.  

WWE Women's Crown Jewel Championship -- Nia Jax vs. Liv Morgan: This moves both women off their long running story lines... The Queen should hold up her end of the bargain and represent with the Crown Jewel Belt...  There will definitley be some heat and outside players with Rhea, Dom, Bailey, and don't forget Tiffany Stratton still has a 'Get A Belt Free Briefcase'.

Roman Reigns & The Usos vs. The Bloodline: The table is set for The Head of The Table to eat...  The Bloodline saga will be all over Crown Jewel.  Reigns, Usos, Solo, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa will continue the ongoing conflict for a while.  The Final Boss- The Rock may pop up again...  Look for Roman and The Usos to win this one but after the match is usually where The Bloodline creates all the havoc.

Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed: This should be a Bronson Reed win but somehow Seth pulls out wins like he always has.  Bronson will take Seth to the limit but Seth will pull out the win at Crown Jewel...

Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens: This one is a push for me.  I love both of them and either one could win.  I think these two are better in the solo division. I am so excited for the future of both.  Randy Orton pulls out the 1-2-3...

United States Championship -- LA Knight (c) vs. Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes: The Triple Threat Match is a punishment to LA Knight so look for Andrade and Carmelo Hayes to be out for Blood.  I think LA Knight wins but Carmelo Hayes is always interesting and could make this the match of the day.

WWE Women's Tag Team Championships -- Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill (c) vs. Chelsea Green & Piper Niven vs. Meta-Four (Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson) vs. Damage CTRL (Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane): This Fatal Fourway title match is going to have some crazy moments.  Friday Night Smackdown will feature one member of each team for a singles Fatal Fourway to lead into the Tag Team Fourway the next day...   I look for Meta-Four or Chelsea and Piper to win on Smackdown... and then Bianca and Jade to win Saturday...   although I still think they may break up sooner than later to create an amazing run of matches to wrap 2024 and roll into 2025... 

Wrasslin' Wednesday is a blog I put out every Wednesday before the Premium Live Events.   Remember these are just thoughts if you are betting or wagering these are just thoughts of what I guess will happen.

Songs That Make You Say Hmm?

So as I listened to Kane Brown's new song "Backseat Driver" I just kept thinking of another song.  
Sure ideas in country music are recycled.  There is nothing wrong with the song.  You may like it or not that is what the WQMX Music Panel will help find out.

As I listened to the song, another one popped into my head.   Here you decide if the songs are similar?

 Obviously they are not the same but one made me think of the other...   they even both talk about McDonalds...   

Main point kids are sponges and always watching.   Which is 100% right!
