WWE Musings

  What’s Going On, Enthusiasts?   How’s this Monday treating you? Can’t really complain to be honest. Yet, there is some intriguing buzz circulating around the wrestling world. Let’s cut to the chase and get into it.     So, the Velveteen Dream situation has a new dimension. Dream has posted an earnest statement explaining his side of the story. Well…from what I can gather, it’s a mild form of pederasty that may have occurred. Yet, given the minors involved are also questionable, it’s just hard to get a clean read. What seems to be safe to presume is that no physical transgression has actually occurred, meaning he did not actually molest anyone but there is talk that a dick pic was exchanged so, it’s unlikely WWE will bring him back anytime soon. Well, it’s like I was saying last post. Riddle should be a little nervous. He actually transgressed. I won’t say he’s next but if he’s not well-received anytime soon don’t be surprised if they quietly show him the door.     In happ

How’s Everyone Doing This Sunday? Good I hope.   At least you’re in the mood for Extreme Rules.   Well, what I will say is that the WWE has been doing what they can with what they got.   Is all of it gold? No, of course not but I will give them that it’s been more coherent that I’ve ever seen it in recent years.   I can see that they are really trying out there and the talent is solid so again, the weak spots are in Creative.   They’re not always sure of how to best use everyone or put everything together.   All I can really suggest is that they all try to get back to basics, entertainment and wrestling.   To be honest, what we may have is a case of them trying too hard.   They have to work with what they got and then embellish what works, rework what doesn’t.   All the pieces are certainly there but they are still trying to make out the picture they’re going for.   They don’t have the cover of the box, kind of thing.   Or there are like 10 of them and they’re trying to see which one

Good Evening, Enthusiasts! Still quarantined?   Yup, me too.   Well, we’ve made it to RAW’ s Go Home Show for Money in the Bank but it appears that not too many people care as the ratings remain low.   When I think about this, I can attribute this to many things.   Many would state the seemingly obvious by railing on the content but for once, I can’t really complain about it.   I know we’ve all suffered through worse and the numbers were better then.   So, how should we interpret this?   Well, first of all, let’s consider circumstances.   Perhaps some simply don’t care for watching wrestling without the audience.   I do admit, it’s like a well-cooked meal that needs some salt or maybe a bit more pepper.   Yet, I like the action enough to keep tuning in.   I can accept that others can’t see the point.   I saw this a bit in myself when I checked in to see how AEW was doing.   Looked like I was watching Ring of Honor.   Both are fine promotions but clearly second rate when it comes to p

What’s Up, Enthusiasts! So, I would have to say the high point of yesterday evening was RAW ’s light teasing of the demon that lies within. It was quite impressive.   Kudos to the set and lighting directors because they set a palpable tone yet, will Finn Bálor be able to step up to the set-up?   I don’t know.   I’ll be honest, I’ve been curious about this guy because of all the buzz he built in NXT.   I’m curious to see this demon persona yet, how to make it work with a WWE audience?   It is a puzzle but, given his petite stature, if he’s going to be a believable “heavyweight” he’s going to have to go “demon”.   Yet, they appear to be on the right track because the presentation landed but it gives Bálor some big shoes to fill.   If done right, he could be the next Undertaker.   True, he won’t have the same kind of presence but a chill is a chill.   If he runs it up your spine, you’re forced to reconsider him even if you can pick him up by the scruff.   We’ll see how this develops
