WWE Musings

A Good Monday to You, Enthusiasts. How’s it going?   Has the stir crazy set in yet?   To be honest, I was a little too loose last night and so I am paying for it now.   Let’s just say this is one of the times I’m thankful I can work from home.   In any case, I along with some of you are probably wondering if it’s even worth watching tonight’s RAW because the WWE has no idea what to do at the moment.   The talent can’t act well enough to do fully scripted episodes but with the action without context, it’s hard to validate taking the time.   It’s a bit of a conundrum and it’s one that the WWE has to solve or they’re not going to have too many fans left.   Now, I don’t expect an immediate mass exodus but understand what I’m really saying here.   So far, it’s becoming a little too clear what the WWE’s weaknesses are.   There’s more than the loss of fans at stake.   They have to reestablish the brand.     At the moment, they are looking amateur at best and that doesn’t help in t

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts. I know it’s kinda hard to know how to feel about these times with toilet paper so hard to come by nowadays but at least the WWE Universe is attempting to remain constant.   For some, that’s not the greatest thing because the attempt currently appears phoned in at best.   It would appear that the WWE doesn’t really know how to operate without a crowd to feed off of so, it will be interesting to see if this week’s SmackDown is even worth watching.   RAW was a definite disappointment and the lack of interest appears to be deafening.   AEW appears to be managing but they’re just a bit too “serious” for my blood.   When I say that, it’s clear that they want to make titles matter again and all that but my point has always been, did they ever matter?   The jig is up, the whole thing is scripted so titles never mattered.   We just believed that they did.   I, for one, don’t have to suspend my disbelief in this matter.   If the content is fun to watch, if th

How Are You Doing, Enthusiasts? These are some unique times I have to say.   Rite Aid proved to be a God send as I was finally able to buy a carton of eggs.   It’s nuts out here!   Everyone is preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse with this Coronavirus lockdown.   I don’t have any point of reference in my memory banks.   This is different.   Yet, I don’t really mind working from home, though.   That has been the most relaxing aspect of these times. You might as well lounge around and see what kind of content your streaming services have to offer.   One thing we shouldn’t be short on is something to watch. On that subject, RAW will press on at the Orlando performance center and it will be interesting what they come up with for 3 hours.   SmackDown was an interesting exercise that proved to satisfy curiosity more than I could call it a solid show so, hopefully they take the notes from that evening to heart.   All I’m thinking is that since there’s no audience to perform to, th

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts! Well, it looks like the bulk of us are under mild voluntary quarantines as the Coronavirus passes through so, I supposed we’re all going to get well acquainted with our more, reclusive sides.   Walling up and binge watching anything is now expected as we occupy our time in attempt to stave off bouts of stir crazy.  Proof of this comes in the form of SmackDown relocating to the Performance Center in Florida and retooling itself for an actual episode since there will be no audience.   This is going to test everyone’s acting skills.   I suppose it’s a good thing they’re leading with John Cena.   He may have to carry the bulk of it.   I personally had the idea of implementing a sort of Breakfast Club spoof since everyone’s gotta be detained but to be honest, I don’t know what they’re going to do.   They could “reality TV” it meaning they play the Kayfabe as if it were real and “document” the backstage life.     That’s probably easiest and will probably be
