WWE Musings

Greetings, Enthusiasts! Today we gather to view SmackDown’s PPV BattleGround .  The biggest question, will Jinder Mahal retain the title or be stripped of it by Randy Orton in the Punjabi Prison Match?  Hopefully, they let him keep it at least until Summer Slam.  Yet, I think something should happen in the swings and roundabouts and if Mahal does lose the WWE Title, it shouldn’t be to Randy Orton.  I got nothing against Orton but he’s nothing new in this regard.  I just think just about anyone else would be more interesting.   It could go to Kevin Owens or Baron Corbin or AJ Styles, or even Rusev for that matter.  Yet, I wouldn’t be surprised if Rusev gets the US Title again for a bit just ‘cause the WWE likes to poke at the less enlightened viewers with those bits of irony.  Meh, it makes for good tension if it stays within bounds. As for the rest of the fare, I would think matches of interest are probably Baron Corbin going up against Shinsuke Nakamura, could be a fun tussl

Any preference? 😉 Good Evening, Enthusiasts. How’s everyone doing?   Gearing up for tonight’s Go-Home show for BattleGround?   The word is that ticket sales aren’t so hot…could this be an unforeseen consequence from having PPVs so readily at our disposal with the app?   To be honest, the shows haven’t been bad.   Not compared to a year or 2 ago.   Most of you must admit it’s improved.   Am I jonesing for it like I do American Gods ? No. But I’m here bi-weekly and for the PPVs.   I’m somewhat invested and not too disappointed.   This blog was created to bitch and moan and now, I can’t bitch and moan so much.   I still do, but not nearly as much.   I think that’s a plus.  Progress is being made somewhere...not sure how to keep things relevant as we head into the future, though 😐 Anyway, we’ve got a few things to look out for, but primarily it will be the Flag Match between John Cena and Rusev.   Hopefully it won’t boil down to  Rocky 4 like it often does but I do think w

Hi There, Enthusiasts! Well, RAW was a little more coherent than usual.  I actually enjoyed myself thoroughly as my Twitter feed should prove.  So, now we move into SmackDown territory and I have to say, I thought it was interesting that the savvy smark had to do a little recon to know that AJ Styles won the US Title over Kevin Owens this past weekend.  I suppose that's fair with RAW doing its PPV.  Starting to make House shows count a little.  Huh. Anyway, I didn't have a problem with a Canadian wearing the US Title.  I'm sure that's why it was done but now that we have a new US Champ, who does Styles tussle with now?  Could he and John Cena go for it?  Maybe Baron Corbin could jump in so he has something other than Money in the Bank to consider.   We all know Randy Orton's busy with Jinder Mahal and filming as the trade winds say.  Apparently he's down in Southeast Asia somewhere so, we won't be seeing him tonight but I'm sure they'll find som

How's Everyone Doing? Well, I hope.  So, Enthusiasts we are gathered here today to enjoy the BattleGround pay-per-view and like in my last post, there's a lot speculation circulating but, when is that not the case.  I'll be tweeting and watching.  Care to join me?  A little humor makes anything fun, right (^_~) Funny tweets will get retweeted and who knows...someone may just impress me and get favorited too.  We shall see. See You in a Bit, -Nicole Alexis.  

Greetings Enthusiasts, Well, with BattleGround the flavor of the month there's been a lot of online chatter but, I haven't really gotten worked up for it TV wise.  Ryback's out with a bad staph infection to the knee and there's speculation that The Undertaker may make an appearance.  That is motivating but is there any truth to it?  Judging by the SmackDown spoilers, we won't be given much aside from the usual so, I suppose we'll just wait and see.  *Shrug*  In the meantime, funny tweets get retweeted and some day, I'll be granted a Favorite and I will retweet it as well.  Happy watching! See You in a Bit, -Nicole Alexis.

Evening Enthusiasts, As I'm sure you've noticed, I've been decidedly preoccupied with the goings-on of this year's ComicCon and though I didn't get to see the biggest celebs or sit in on the juiciest panels, I had myself a grand ol'time if somewhat low-key in comparison to some.  Well, it appears that there are those who would prefer it if my attention isn't spread too thinly (^_~)  I guess I can oblige to a point. In any case, I am now returning to my usual standard programming and that brings us to the BattleGround "Go-Home" rounds to set us up for this Sunday.  Like I said, I haven't been paying too much attention but now that I have to return to "normal" I'll see if my appetite is whetted any.  Who's with me?  Funny tweets get retweeted and we'll just leave the door open for any Favorites that might walk through. See You in a Bit, -Nicole Alexis.
