WWE Musings

Greetings, Enthusiasts! I do believe we have found ourselves at another Go-Home Show and this time for FastLane.   Now, since FastLane is more like a filler PPV until WrestleMania, I’m not going to harp on how the build has been so-so because this event doesn’t need top billing.   This is another space where some experimentation can be had.   Generally, the lesser PPVs should be utilized as times to “let it hang out”, so to speak.  WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam and maybe Survivor Series, those are times to “kill it” but right now, it’s more about having fun.   So, for tonight, not much is advertised but what is isn’t all that surprising.   Naturally, Triple H will have a response for the very rude but distinguished Dave Batista.   And Charlotte will grace us with her presence since there’s a title just lying around without an owner.   She’ll gladly step in. Besides the predictable fodder, we do have the interesting guests in the form of Michael Ché and Colin Jost fr

G reetings Enthusiasts! Tonight we have FastLane to feast upon and in all honesty, not sure how much it will really matter come WrestleMania time.   Don’t get me wrong.   I’ll watch just the same to get my money’s worth but the thing about the WWE Universe is that it seems to refresh itself daily.   What happens tonight may be followed up on this week’s SmackDown but after that, it’s just that steady jog towards WrestleMania and during all that, anything established tonight, can change.   ‘Tis the nature of this beast.   So, why watch?   Well, to see if the WWE will make it interesting for the most part.  We watch for the blatant entertainment. The thing we must keep in mind the most for this genre is that the way the WWE is structured, all they need do is be entertaining.   Yes, ideally what we watch should make some sort of sense but ultimately, if it puts smiles on our faces, we don’t really care what we see.   So, the draw is to see if the WWE can string some action toge

Good Evening, Enthusiasts! Last night was dare I say it, a night full of wrestling!   Yeah, I know!   Been a long time since they got to basics, huh.   Yes, Seth Rollins set off to earn some street cred by besting both the likes of Roman Reigns and John Cena in an impressive 1-hour and 5-minute showing in last night’s Gauntlet Match.   He hung in there and it was entertaining.   I wasn’t looking to change the channel once.   It was a commendable effort.   Needless to say, Braun Strowman came out and took about 20 minutes to decimate The Miz in the end but, we’re all kinda fine with that.   This Elimination Chamber may just be fun one.   Let’s keep our fingers crossed. As for tonight, Smackdown is gearing up for Fastlane along with WrestleMania so, Benjamin, Gable and Associates will battle in a #1 Contenders match against the New Day, we’ll see how that goes.    AJ Styles will contemplate his upcoming Fatal-5-Way and the Riott Squadd want to show the SmackDown vets the old-fol

How's it Going, Enthusiasts! Pardon my tardiness.  Had to attend my version of church 😉  Anyway, so RAW is up to show us this month's PPV and there are some interesting aspects that hang in the balance.  Will Old Man Goldberg make his resurgence complete by taking the Universal Championship from Kevin Owens?  Will Roman Reigns come up with a solid plan to counter the might of Braun Strowman?  Will Samoa Joe continue his carnage against the roster with Sami Zayn being his next victim?  It's all hard to say but remember, the key is that it's what?....Entertaining.  Yes, if we get it, we'll have to buy it, right?  Who knows, some of the less promoted matches may just steal the show.   Fine with me.  So, let's see how they string this together.  Funny tweets get retweeted and a Favorite comes when a favorite comes. See You in a Bit, -Nicole Alexis (^_~)
