WWE Musings

A Good Friday to You Enthusiasts. How is everyone doing?  Well, I hope.  So, there’s some bustling about the WWE Universe.  Looks like WWE is gonna get a cut of all this 3 rd party action wrestlers are getting.  Word is wrestlers are pissed.   Well, I don’t blame ‘em.  Here they are trying to do a little side hustle and WWE now wants a piece.   From what I heard, it sounded like Twitch accounts would now be administered through WWE and participating wrestlers would get a percentage?  Not sure if that would be proportionate to popularity but I get it.  I’d probably just say fuck it and drop it all together.  That may be what WWE is coaxing wrestlers to do.  It seems a little…bitchy to me.  What does it matter?  I guess they want to keep a cap on the Kayfabe or something.  Don’t want wrestlers getting too loose outside of the WWE Universe.  They’re trying to maintain control or something. The other big pi...

A Good Monday to You, Enthusiasts! So, who caught Clash of Champions?  To be honest, it wasn’t nearly the clusterfuck I thought it was going to be. There were some things to be desired but given the current state of WWE affairs, it was a better show than I anticipated, that is for sure. When it just came to the wrestling, Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro nailed it with the help of ⅔ of the Lucha House Party in the form of Lince Dorado and Kalisto.  The Luchadores are taking jobbing to the next level, I have to say.  It was a fine display of what the WWE has to offer in theory.  It is obvious, the talent isn’t the problem.  Nakamura and Cesaro were smart to just kill it and get out.   As for the rest of the night, it wasn’t bad.  The Ladder Match though creative seemed a little…forced I guess.  The hijinks, though funny, kind of diminished the match.  Sami Zayn, Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles are all great wrestlers in their own right so, to have...

A Good Tuesday Evening to You, Enthusiasts! So, RAW had some interesting moments.  Still not sure about this “Woken” gimmick of Matt Hardy’s, Hideo Itami is a bit smaller than I envisioned and we can expect a Women’s Royal Rumble next year.   And as expected, no Roman Reigns.  They’ve had worse shows certainly but, I don’t know.  Even with the surprises.  Still just wasn’t the same.  Does that mean something?  We’ll have to see if the sentiment resonates.  With all the mixed responses and down right vitriol leading up to now, it is interesting that there does appear to be a difference when Reigns isn’t in the House.  Let’s compare to when he’s not supposed to be there. SDLive has their Clash of Champions fallout show in New Jersey tonight and for the most part, it’s a playful rehashing of some of the matches from last Sunday.  A few group tag-team matches featuring anyone around of any interest seems to set the stage. ...
