SMACKDOWN Decides to Keep Schedule. WrestleMania Is Not Moving...

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts!

Well, it looks like the bulk of us are under mild voluntary quarantines as the Coronavirus passes through so, I supposed we’re all going to get well acquainted with our more, reclusive sides.  Walling up and binge watching anything is now expected as we occupy our time in attempt to stave off bouts of stir crazy.  Proof of this comes in the form of SmackDown relocating to the Performance Center in Florida and retooling itself for an actual episode since there will be no audience.  This is going to test everyone’s acting skills.  I suppose it’s a good thing they’re leading with John Cena.  He may have to carry the bulk of it.  I personally had the idea of implementing a sort of Breakfast Club spoof since everyone’s gotta be detained but to be honest, I don’t know what they’re going to do.  They could “reality TV” it meaning they play the Kayfabe as if it were real and “document” the backstage life.   That’s probably easiest and will probably be just as hit or miss as a typical show.

As for what’s advertised, it’s hard to see how they’ll make it work.  Cena isn’t that much of a problem.  He knows how to hold himself in front of a camera.  But Jeff Hardy is more of a delight in the ring and Paige, well no offense but I was never really sold on her.  I get the feeling she’s sort of faking it until she makes it and I’m not sure if that’s ever going to happen.  Case and point, Florence Pugh who played Paige in Fighting with My Family, did a better Paige than Paige ever did.  So…yeah.  Doesn’t mean there’s no hope it’s just, we’ll see that when we see it. 

In any case, since it’s hard to say what we have in store for tonight let’s just be glad they have time to fill anyway.  Gives them time to really sit down and flesh this WrestleMania build out.  Funny tweets get retweeted and as for Likes/Favorites, let’s not come on too strong with the ridicule.  Could we really come up with better on short notice under these conditions?  I actually have to figure out how I’m going to get toilet paper.  One of the grocery stores I frequent was bought out.  Expect a lot of self-promotion and random backstage beatdowns.  Anything passed that and we can actually commend them for trying.

See You in a Bit,
