WWE Musings

How Goes It, Enthusiasts? Good I hope.   So, right into Payback are we?   Well, I’m not sure what the reasoning is but I suppose it doesn’t matter. As usual for PPVs, I’m not going to comment on every match but I will give my 2¢ on the ones I find interesting so, naturally, I feel I have to start with the Women.   Again, they prove to be a blatant display of a lack of creative direction.   All this talent and WWE has no idea what to do with it.   It is a shame but let’s see what comes to pass anyway.   The biggest indication of this lack of direction is how the 2 obvious Tag Teams aren’t in the hunt for the Tag Team Title. Proof again of how Popularity rules in the WWE Universe.   The IIconics and the remainder of the Riott Squad are in a shits & giggles match that apparently gets Kick-Off status as Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler are pasted together to give Bayley and Sasha Banks some people to fight with.   What is that all about?   Well, it shows you who’s popular is all.   Not k

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts! I hope it treats you well.   So, what’s circulating in the WWE Universe?    I found it interesting that Wade Barrett found his way back to the WWE halls.   One of the aspects of the WWE Universe is that it is strangely forgiving.   Those who have left often can return…that is if they did so under the right circumstances.   And even in those difficult cases, with the right amount of apology and humility even the most outrageous can be forgiven.   I think CM Punk is a prime example.   When he left it seemed as if someone could get fired just by saying his name, now he’s back on the payroll.   The WWE Universe is the land of many chances. In Barrett’s case, it looks like he’s helping out with kids in NXT.   We’ll see if he ever challenges Baron Corbin to get the King of the Ring Title back. As for tonight’s Fallout/Go Home Smackdown , we have Roman Reigns’ return to television to look forward to.   I’ll admit I am one of the many who have missed his presence

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? You ready for Summer Slam?   Well, I have to say I’m curious to say the least.    There’s a lot in flux in the WWE Universe at the moment and that makes it hard to feel completely confident about the evening’s fare but, I’m sure they’re going to make a good go of it.   We’ll be watching to see if they manage to land on their feet.   So, as usual, I’m not going to comment on every match.    I’ll just focus on the ones that capture my particular interest.   Sonya DeVille and Mandy Rose get a pass given the circumstances.   It’s highly speculated that Sonya DeVille will lose the Hair vs. Hair Match so that she can properly recuperate from her traumatic home invasion.   She’s being quite the professional playing through.   So, that leaves Asuka doing double duty with the matches to focus on.   She’ll battle both Sasha Banks and Bayley to see if she can take a title off one of them.   I think it’s highly likely she’ll get 1.    She’ll probably win the matc

  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
