WWE Musings

Greetings, Enthusiasts!   Well, No Mercy is about to commence just a few miles away at the Staples Center and I don’t know…would you say there’s buzz?   Hmmm, I wouldn’t so much say that as there is curiosity.   There’s a lot of “hit or miss-edness” afoot and if not properly executed, this evening can potentially fall very flat.   For starters, we have the CruiserWeight battle that has Neville facing Enzo Amore for the title.   Now, we all know why this is happening.   With both Big Cass and Big Show out of action, what’s the WWE to do with Amore?   Well, see if he livens up the CruiserWeight Division.   It would appear that the WWE fan doesn’t care for the little guys boxing too much.   Though I find their in-ring antics more interesting and exciting, the WWE is still very old school and prefers to wait for the HeavyWeights.   Since it's obvious why this match is happening, We the Audience may or may not pay it much attention.   Neville’s prowess in the ring certainly can

How Goes It, Enthusiasts! Well, RAW didn’t so much take us home for No Mercy as dropped us off around the corner but, let’s face it.  We’ve all sat through worse of their offerings.  The shining light came in Bayley making her return from the Disabled List.  Match wise, the Tag Teams in Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins, Sheamus & Cesaro and uh…Anderson & Gallows was the most entertaining though a little cheesy at times.  Honorable Mentions to Jason Jordan and Bo Dallas doing their best to make their programs interesting at the end of the show.  Though, I’d usually say to dial it back, they’re in the Big Leagues so, I appreciate them going for broke.  Outside of that, it was promos galore and everyone basically did their job…I’ll leave it at that. So, going into No Mercy, SmackDown doesn’t necessarily need to do RAW any favors.  They’ve got their Hell in a Cell to prepare for and then there is the looming drama of Kevin Owens vs. The McMahon Family.  We’ll see what S

Greetings, Enthusiasts! So, we’re “going home” with tonight’s RAW and prepping ourselves for what is supposed to be the West Coast madness that is No Mercy!    Will it be merciless?  I don’t know.   We’ll see how the amuse bouche goes.   So, what do we got for tonight?   We’ll see if the tag team champs in Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins continue to bolster their current majesty.   Nia Jax will decide whether or not to just sit on Alexa Bliss and end things for good.   The Miz, aside from nursery décor, has to contemplate the intrusion of Enzo Amore into his life.   All the while, Braun Strowman will be stomping around looking for someone to stuff in a dumpster, just ‘cause he can.   Hmm, are we missing anything?... Ah yes, the lead up to the huge, monumental “Anti-Face Match” with John Cena and Roman Reigns to do battle for us to decide which of the lesser of 2 “evils” shall rule the proverbial "Yard".   Well, whether we like it or not we’ll soon be left with Reigns

Afternoon Enthusiasts, So, today we have the #SmackDown PPV to take a gander at and I'm not in antsy anticipation but I am in interested curiosity.  Clash of Champions was fair enough, will No Mercy have something to prove?   Don't know.  We'll see.  Improvements continue across the board so, that's something to at least look forward to.  We'll watch and see if this boat goes from respectable yacht to full scale cruise ship.  It should already be a cruise ship, you say.  Well, in theory.   Funny tweets get retweeted and the elusive Favorite?  Only you guys can say.   See You in a Bit, -Nicole Alexis (^_~)
