WWE Musings

How’s Everyone Doing this Monday? Good?   Hanging in there?   Stay strong, my friends.   So, there are a couple things on my mind tonight.   I guess it’s best to start with Finn Balor, given how he and Kyle O’Reilly had themselves a knockdown, drag ‘em out fight for the title last night at NXT Takeover.   Balor retained but not without getting banged up plenty.   Now, this is the sort of thing I mean when it comes to how the WWE mishandled Balor.   The Dæmon Persona is somewhat necessary for Balor to make sense in the WWE Universe.   His susceptibility to injury kinda ruins the ruse, so to speak.   If they established him correctly, his matches could be better structured to protect him.   When in trouble, he could resort to psychological tactics to “disturb” his opponents.   I always thought that would be fun for both Balor and whoever faces him.   When he found himself in a jam, he’d get the opponent all crossed up in a hold where he could whisper something in their ear.   What it i

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts! How’s every little thing?   So, there’s a bit of news circulating in the WWE Universe.   I suppose the biggest news is the banning of 3 rd Party interactions by the WWE.   There are side-hustles that semi-famous types can do like Cameo and Twitch that allow a person to make a little extra scratch and maintain some limelight.   A former co-worker introduced me to Cameo and I have to say, a lot of WWE wrestlers who are now with AEW were on the site at the time.   And if I remember correctly, they were using their real names or other aliases for the most part, or at least I remember seeing Zack Ryder on there as Matt Cordona.   There were a few notables on there at the time.   I don’t know if this has something to do with the incident with Alexa Bliss.   She was paid $400 to essentially turn down a date.   I can see liability issues arising with incidents like that so, WWE may simply be nipping this in the bud before it gets out of hand.    I’m not sure if th

  How Are You Doing, Enthusiasts? Hang in there, however you are.   It’s all we can do.   Anyway, there’s nothing too thrilling going on in the WWE Universe but a little morsel that is interesting is the new filming location for RAW and SmackDown .   Orlando’s Amway Center appears to be the new spot.   Naturally, this is both encouraging and disconcerting.   With COVID still a threat, the question of whether it’s worth it to attempt live shows with fans arises.   Personally, I don’t know.   I sympathize with not minding taking the risk but at the same time, one doesn’t know the true cause and effect.   With people walking around asymptomatically, a person could have it and not know it and inadvertently transfer it someone who can’t combat it.   It’s not just about a person’s personal risk.   Simply attending could endanger who knows how many random people.   That’s why this pandemic is so frustrating.   You have to think of others and not just yourself.   I’m more than willing to ta

How Are You Doing, Enthusiasts? Well, before I get into everything I want to get into, let’s take a moment to discuss some interesting news that’s circulating in both the WWE Universe and the actual Media.   It appears The Rock along with some other partners, his ex-wife included, have decided to purchase the XFL at a steal for $15 million.   Challenging economic times make way for moves like this and this is some interesting information to consider.   It’s hard to say what the implications are with everything so uncertain.   This new league could now potentially rival the NFL by luring current players with better conditions than the NFL currently wants to offer.   Wrestlers who need new options could reconsider an old or new career path.   There’s some potential in this turn of events.   I’m curious to see how it will develop.   In other WWE News, the Bella Twins have had their babies.   The ladies had themselves a son each about a day apart taking “twinning” to the ultimate level
