WWE Musings

How’s Everyone Doing this Monday?   Good? Hanging in there? Well, do your best. As They say, there’s no sense worrying over that which is not under your control. Do what you can and leave it at that. Same mostly goes for the WWE Universe. We just sit back and see who makes the most of nothing.   Well, Braun Strowman will be sitting out for a time so he has time to think. There were reports he was injured floating around and now it appears that there may be some truth to it. The word is that it’s a knee issue. Hopefully, he can take this time to really marinate on what to do with himself in WWE. He shouldn’t expect much from the creative department. More than likely, they’re just contemplating ways to make him Big Show II. It’ll be up to him to develop what “Braun Strowman” is all about.   Outside of that, a lot of the interesting information circulates around tonight’s RAW . Looks like COVID will not interrupt the year’s end and TLC will go on per usual. So, that means new

A Good Friday to You, Enthusiasts.   How’s Black Friday going for you? May your Holiday Deals be plentiful. So, this post should be brief because there’s not a lot going on in the WWE Universe today. Most of what’s floating around is not anything new but I may ramble on about it.   The first thing that caught my eye is the marketability of The Fiend. Apparently one can now purchase a Fiend on the Scene for your holiday shenanigans. You know I can’t stand this concept but Horror fans appear to be eating it up. Noticed quite a bit of people, children included, opted for a Fiend costume this Halloween. That baffles me even more because it’s not scary. It’s some dude in a mask who’s a fan of Freddy Kruger. I admit. Horror isn’t my bag but it just surprises me what flies sometimes in this universe. I never liked the Undertaker either but I could at least respect the man. This I just roll my eyes at. And it’s unfortunate because I like Bray Wyatt. He’s captivating in the ring so, I d

A Good Evening to You, Enthusiasts!   How is this Monday treating you? It’s going pretty well in my neck of the woods if I may say so myself. So, did everyone manage to watch at least some of Survivor Series? It wasn’t the best but it was better than Hell in a Cell, I can give it that. General consensus is that it was predictable but the main event of Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre didn’t disappoint. As much as people felt this would be a “banger” of a match, I wasn’t so optimistic. Their last matches weren’t the best and I was expecting to see more of the same but these gentlemen managed to put together a great match. I can’t knock it so, good for them. Now, Reigns has to come up with a new way to end a match. Hopefully, he’s “full of himself” enough to realize when something starts to get old 😉     I also appreciated how the Ladies continue to hold their own. Asuka vs. Sasha Banks was what it was but it was still a solid match. And though Lana got the payoff for all those ti

Happy Survivor Series, Enthusiasts!   Excited for the show? Well, I can’t say I am per se but as usual, curiosity gets the best of me. The only reason is well, we all know the WWE track record. People get all hot and bothered for something only to get massively disappointed in the end. I’m never really geared up for anything anymore. I just sit back and see if I’m impressed. As I’ve been saying, there’s plenty of talent, little to no vision. So, we’ll see who manages to make something out of nothing tonight.   So, also as usual, I won’t run down the entire show just the matches that have caught my interest, the first one being the Ladies’ 5-on-5. I’m intrigued by this due to the eclectic mix of ladies, especially on the SmackDown side. Both teams are relatively fresh. Natalya is the only real veteran participating. Nia Jax and Bayley aren’t exactly new but this is more or less the new school in effect. The Ladies have made it clear that even though they’re under-utilized, they

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts!   Everyone still hanging in there? Kinda have no choice, right? Well, the WWE Universe has some news circulating. I just find it interesting that it revolves primarily around alumni. The first bit of big news is Renée Paquette is with child. I was watching AEW when Jon Moxley casually dropped the news. If I was drinking something, I would have spit it out. There was actually a tweet of Paquette’s that came through my feed a few months ago when she declared she just threw up. Naturally, everyone supposed it was morning sickness. Looks like the assumptions may have been correct or at the very least it was a sort of foreshadowing. Regardless, I’m nothing but happy for them. To be honest, this sort of thing I hope paves the way for the both of them to return to WWE but for now, let us just wish them well.   The other overlying theme of this week besides Survivor Series is The Undertaker. This marks his 30 years in the business as well. I was even tasked w

Good Evening, Enthusiasts.   How’s everyone doing? Good I hope, you know everything considered. So, what’s happening in the WWE Universe? Well, fallout over Zelina Vega’s dismissal continues. Rumors floating around suggest the WWE Roster’s feathers are ruffled, especially those who don’t get on TV much. There’s a post on Reddit that claims Vega made more money with Twitch than with WWE. If that’s true, it’s easy to see why there’s some mild unrest. Times as they are, wrestlers gotta eat too. WWE is getting a lot of flak for coming off greedy. Personally, I think WWE’s only real argument is Kayfabe. The 3 rd Party action going unregulated could compromise what’s supposed to be in play. I think if they develop protocols under which to engage 3 rd Party sites and take a minimal percentage, the disquiet could be settled down but it’s hard to know what’s really going on. That’s what I’d do for what it’s worth.   In other news, Chelsea Green’s debut appears over before it even got

 Hello Enthusiasts, Happy Friday! Well, let’s get right into it because we have some stunning news floating around. Word on the street is that Zelina Vega was suddenly released from WWE. Now, I have a sneaking suspicion that this may be a work but it’s looking pretty official. I just hope that doesn’t mean Aleister Black is soon to follow. Someone please get word to him that if he wants to stay relevant, he’ll have to come up with a game plan for himself. WWE clearly doesn’t know what to do with him. This is what I’m saying people. Don’t expect too much from WWE. The wrestlers have to find their own way and hopefully the creative department can fill in the blanks but if they expect them to “show them the way” their looking in the wrong direction. I hope Vega finds what really enriches her. The speculation regarding Vega’s release alludes to her setting up an Only Fans account in the face of WWE trying to get control of everyone’s 3rd Party content. She was clearly going against company

A Good Evening to You, Enthusiasts? How are you doing? It’s all a bit different but the same, isn’t it? Personally, I’m surprised that Joe Biden won the election. I was prepared for the worst in a Trump re-election. Almost don’t know what to do with it. I try to keep politics out of the blog and stuff just for a sort of peace of mind. I look at my joy of wrestling as an escape. Yet, every now and then, it’s good to just voice an opinion. Here’s what I’ll say on the current state of affairs. Take note of how close this election was. Half the populous wants to keep things “The Old Way”. No one should be surprised that the majority of the Red States remained red. All that says to me is one should be aware if one ever travels this country. Be mindful of where you are going to. Be it blue or red state, the people there want it that way. Book your reservations wisely. All right, back to wrasslin’ so, we’ll start with Paige this week. Poor thing. She’s having a bit of a tough go, isn’t she?

  How Are You Doing, Enthusiasts? Man, this country… And people wonder why the world thinks Americans are stupid. But I’m sure you’ve heard enough about politics so let’s get into our escape pastime. So, I look around and look around and I notice that Jon Moxley is kindly doing fans like me a solid. He spoke to Sporting News recently in regards to treating wrestling fans with more respect. You know, there have been plenty of times that I’ve questioned doing this blog. If you look through my history, you’ll see that I’ve even stopped it or changed the format. It’s definitely not the way it started but that came from my expanding understanding of WWE and pro-wrestling in general. I did take it a little too seriously at first. But as I began to realize that my calls for better content were unrealistic I eased my stance. Understand, I’ve consistently watched RAW and SmackDown for the past 6 years. If they knew how to create better content, they’d be doing it. We all have to accept tha

Happy Monday, Enthusiasts! I know we’re supposed to hate them but given the circumstances are they really so bad? Anyway, let’s see what’s going on in the WWE Universe. Well, rumors continue to circulate about a Roman Reigns vs. The Rock showdown. You already know that I think that’s a bad idea. On top of that, what’s also going around is that there are plans for The Usos to “bend the knee” to Reigns and form a heel stable. I think if they do go in this direction, they should include Tamina, Nia Jax and Naomi. What I’m getting at is that if they’re going to go this family route, they should just commit and go the family route. Being at loose ends is what invalidates their attempts at creativity. There’s just a general lack of continuity so it’s just hard to believe in the first place. That’s why so many ideas come and go and stories get dropped. They probably shouldn’t have been tried in the first place because they weren’t thoroughly thought out. So, if they’re going to be that la
