WWE Musings

Good Evening, Enthusiasts.   How’s everyone doing? Good I hope, you know everything considered. So, what’s happening in the WWE Universe? Well, fallout over Zelina Vega’s dismissal continues. Rumors floating around suggest the WWE Roster’s feathers are ruffled, especially those who don’t get on TV much. There’s a post on Reddit that claims Vega made more money with Twitch than with WWE. If that’s true, it’s easy to see why there’s some mild unrest. Times as they are, wrestlers gotta eat too. WWE is getting a lot of flak for coming off greedy. Personally, I think WWE’s only real argument is Kayfabe. The 3 rd Party action going unregulated could compromise what’s supposed to be in play. I think if they develop protocols under which to engage 3 rd Party sites and take a minimal percentage, the disquiet could be settled down but it’s hard to know what’s really going on. That’s what I’d do for what it’s worth.   In other news, Chelsea Green’s debut appears over before it ...

  Hello, Enthusiasts! How is this Monday treating you?   Well, did you catch Payback?   To be honest, it was a lot cleaner show than I was anticipating.   Though the creative issues are still there, WWE is at least making the most of what is working which couldn’t always be said in the past.   There’s still a lot of work to be done but for the first time since I’ve started watching again, it appears that they’re actually going to take a shot at doing it. So, there were some pleasant surprises at Payback, the most underrated of which was probably the opening match with Apollo Crews and Bobby Lashley.   This was the best display of wrestling for the night.   I suppose we shouldn’t be too surprised but I certainly wasn’t expecting Lashley and Crews to come out and set the tone but they did and popular or not, they established themselves as true forces to be reckoned with in the WWE Universe.   Kudos to them! Also, a little side play from Buddy ...

H ow Are You All Doing, Enthusiasts? Enjoy Summer Slam? Before we get into all that, let’s get the current WWE Universe news/rumors out of the way.   So, it looks like it’s official.   Renée Young is leaving the WWE for greener pastures and I have to say, we were lucky to have her for as long as we did.    Her sweet disposition and lovely form could easily charm anyone and I’m sure she’ll find success wherever she ends up.   Naturally, there’s speculation that we may see her on AEW, making it easier to maintain her marriage with Jon Moxley but personally, I think she can do better.   There’s word that FOX Sports may have some plans for her and I hope that’s so, FOX or ESPN.   She should do some real world work, really build her resume and once she’s done some fit for real Journalism, maybe we could again be so lucky to be graced with her presence.   May she find the best in her future endeavors. Now, let’s get into Summer Slam.   It was a...

  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 t...

How’s Everyone Doing? Looks like there’s news about the WWE Universe, doesn’t it?   I don’t know much about this Matt Riddle.   I’ve heard his name bandied about and was willing to see what he’s all about but it looks like some residual Karma has come back around to thwart all that.   I’m not going to speculate on what’s true here I’m just going to say that everyone better take notice.   If you have sketchy stuff in your history, make sure you make amends with it before you go on a public push for something.   What goes around does come around.   I think just about everyone can agree.   So, whoever made this allegation either has beef or was wronged.   It all depends on how long ago this happened and what exactly remains unresolved.   Is this someone who feels jilted or is this someone who feels used?   There is a difference.   The former was dismissed, probably without much notice or cause.   What makes this more the other p...

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts!   How’s everyone doing?   Still sane, I hope.   So, SmackDown now has to provide its offering for Money in the Bank and before we get into that, I feel I just have to comment on the end of this week’s RAW .   It’s clear that most don’t really care for this observation be it due to its potential controversy or not but, Drew McIntyre was quite, “off-brand” if you get my drift.   Now, I don’t mind this, mind you but the point I’m ultimately making is one of consent.   One should choose an alternative lifestyle not administer it.   Now, I understand that the hetero-normative way of life could be said to have been imposed but it concerns the propagation of human life, not a person’s right to choose one’s lifestyle.     I only make this statement because though he and Buddy Murphy went on well after the little kiddies had gone to bed, the clear demonstration of domination/submission could be debated in terms of approp...
