WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? This Friday treating you well?   I’m using it as a personal care day, myself.   You gotta treat yourself well from time to time.   So anyway, on to what’s going on in the WWE Universe.   Well, some very promising developments have apparently come to be as Edge and Daniel Bryan have signed on to help with the creative storylines concerning RAW and SmackDown respectively.   This is almost too good to be true.   Finally, they’re accepting facts and actually doing something about it.   Consider this one of the upsides of the pandemic.   The change in format and the limited roster inadvertently exposed the true issues.   We already figured the problem was with Creative but when stripped down to its bare parts, it became obvious.   They got a host of writers that don’t know how to write for the product.   Tsk-tsk-tsk.   Hopefully this added direction will get things on a better track.   I’m ...

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts. How you doing out there?   These are some thought-provoking times, aren’t they?      Well, remember the core of it.   Stay polite while out in the world.   None of us are perfect.   So, in other news, the only thing that caught my attention out in the WWE Universe is that Jinder Mahal went back under the knife for knee surgery.   Guess they just caught this ‘cause I was like, didn’t he just come back from surgery?   I thought they were going to start planting seeds towards a showdown with Drew McIntyre, now we get to see if they keep the title on him until Mahal is recovered or if that will just be a potential feud.    We shall see.   Such is the crux of the WWE Universe.   Though it promotes its own, it is still subject to Reality.   Shit happens just the same.   We’ll see how they adapt. As for tonight's SmackDown , we see how they explain Jeff Hardy’s return.   Not sure if w...

A Merry Monday, Enthusiasts! My goodness!   Money in the Bank was a lot of fun.   See what a little bit of polish can do.   This seems like a real wrestling establishment for like the first time in maybe ever.   I’ll always love the Attitude Era but you got to admit, it wasn’t great television.   It was great trash television…big difference.   MITB was the best bit of television the WWE has presented potentially, ever.   Yes, there were some goofy bits but that comes with this wacky universe.   It has its own sense of humor.   The cameos, for the most part, went over my head but what I enjoyed is that it looked like everyone who participated had a blast.   That’s the sort of thing that has to happen if we’re to get the best out of the roster.     It can’t feel too much like work.   That’s why some of us are so envious of the players.   We have to go to work for a living, they get to go have fun for our amusement. ...

But after that, it’s on! 😉 Good Evening, Enthusiasts! So, RAW continued to make sense, more or less and to everyone’s shock and surprise, Roman Reigns, yes, Roman Reigns cut a clean, solid promo.   I’m still not sure it happened but there’s proof so, it must have.   It could have been a stand-in but, as far as I could tell, he managed it.   Supposedly, it was a bit of a shoot because Brock Lesnar didn’t show but I’m not so sold that wasn’t on purpose.   I think it’s all a work but we’ll see. As for tonight, SmackDown is in my hood of Los Angeles at the Staples Center.   So, I’ll be kinda “live tweeting”.    Action-wise, we’ll see how John Cena will get himself a ticket to WrestleMania. Guess I don’t mind if he’s there.   Naomi will give that sassafras, Ruby Riott something to think about. Sami Zayn will see if Baron Corbin wants another “ginger beer” and The Usos will start lighting us up with the New Day as we gear up for FastLane...
