RAW Will See If It Can Improve Upon a New Model...


How Are You Doing, Enthusiasts?

These are some unique times I have to say.  Rite Aid proved to be a God send as I was finally able to buy a carton of eggs.  It’s nuts out here!  Everyone is preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse with this Coronavirus lockdown.  I don’t have any point of reference in my memory banks.  This is different.  Yet, I don’t really mind working from home, though.  That has been the most relaxing aspect of these times. You might as well lounge around and see what kind of content your streaming services have to offer.  One thing we shouldn’t be short on is something to watch.

On that subject, RAW will press on at the Orlando performance center and it will be interesting what they come up with for 3 hours.  SmackDown was an interesting exercise that proved to satisfy curiosity more than I could call it a solid show so, hopefully they take the notes from that evening to heart.  All I’m thinking is that since there’s no audience to perform to, they should probably rethink their format structure.  Put the show on in a way that doesn’t require the audience.  This is why I thought there would be a lot of backstage segments and Kayfabe bits because that at least acknowledges the circumstances as opposed to proceeding as if everything is normal.  It’s too obvious that they aren’t and the WWE shouldn’t try to hide this.  We’re in this together whether we like it or not.  There are some realities even the WWE Universe has to acknowledge.  Admitting the situation allows us to see that the WWE is able to relate to the common public and isn’t too dedicated to maintaining a distorted reality.  They can have fun with it and they should.  The bulk of us will be tuning in for a bit of an escape but we don’t need to cascade into delusion.  Let’s see if the WWE knows how to make the proverbial “lemonade” with the circumstances.  Approach this effectively and we won’t be able to wait for WrestleMania, just for the social interaction. 

I do hope that they go ahead with it as planned. People can sign waivers or something.  They can accept the risk.  I suppose a temperature check at the door wouldn’t hurt either if they can create a swift and efficient procedure.  I’m not in favor of spreading this disease but given the nature of it, we shouldn’t live in fear of it either.  We may have to bite the bullet and risk developing our own antibodies to this thing.  We have to prompt our bodies to survive sometimes.  That’s what prompts evolution.  As They say, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  Let’s see if we can assist each other through this.  Funny tweets get retweeted and since this is such an experimental time, be kind.  Again, it’s hard to say what anyone would come up with under these circumstances.  Let’s be encouraging with the stuff that works and if one must make note of a misstep, do so in the vein of constructive criticism.  Everyone has something to deal with right now, give people a break.


See You in a Bit,
