WWE Musings

Evening, Enthusiasts! So, was Extreme Rules extreme enough for you?   Too cliché?   Meh, you come up with something then 😉   In any case, I actually thought Extreme Rules was one of the more solid PPVs this season.   Kalisto and Apollo Crews set the tone beautifully to open and then “upsets” abound as titles changed hands so we can mix things up.   Not upset with it in the slightest.   The only low point I would say would be the semi-squash match between Alexa Bliss and Bayley.   I almost hope Bayley wasn’t feeling well or something and just took a pass.  With the effort they took in building the match, I found the ending lacking.   Maybe they’ll use tonight’s RAW for some redemption. As for the match of the evening, I would have to give it to the Fatal 5 Way.   It was actually a lot of fun to watch.   These fellows did a boisterous dance that left bodies strewn and Samoa Joe the last one standing.   Something I think will make for interesting fare seeing how he’s the in-hou

Greetings Enthusiasts! So, we have the Extreme Rules PPV to take a gander at in few and the buzz surrounds the Fatal 5 Way.  Word is that whoever wins is basically going to be served up to Brock Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire.  So, that prompts many to speculate that either Seth Rollins or Finn Bálor will take tonight's bout.  What do you think about that approach, Enthusiasts?  Personally, if they're going to go that route, I'd give it to Rollins because at least he's feasible against Lesnar.  God bless this Finn Bálor but most feel the same way I do about him.  Without any true martial arts training, I don't know what he does to keep from being F5'ed to death. Personally, I think Bray Wyatt or Samoa Joe would set up a juicier match with Lesnar.  We've seen him and Reigns go round already and I think we need some time before we go down that road again.  That should be set up better than, "it's Wrestlemania..." but we'll see if they act

What's Going On, Enthusiasts! So, it looks like we've got ourselves the Go-Home RAW for this Sunday's Extreme Rules PPV and I'm not really sure what we're supposed to be gearing up for besides the PPV itself.  We do know that there is talk of title changes and #1 Contenders but that's always the case.  For me, I'm curious to see how they're going to make this Lil' Finn Bálor make sense against all these guys that have at least a hundred pounds on him.   Now, I'm all for the underdog, I love the underdog but let's just get real here for a minute.  Though I do not doubt his overall athleticism, I don't see how he believably puts a dent in these guys.  Entertainment wrestling is far from Kung Fu and unless Bálor knows some sort of Fu, I don't see him coming out alive.  In NXT he did have his demon alter ego to go along with the Celtic Bálor myth but it looks like the WWE isn't sure that angle works with a mainstream audience.  I
