WWE Musings

A Good Saturday to You, Enthusiasts.   The Royal Rumble is upon us yet again and I have no idea what to expect. This will be a short post because of it. There are only 6 matches officially scheduled so, either the Rumbles will be extended affairs or this will be a short PPV.   That’s another reason I don’t have much to say. Not much is actually advertised and as I said last night, that’s not exactly a bad thing. WWE kinda has to start over with its fanbase and simultaneously begin building a new one so, keeping things quiet and just seeing what works is a respectable tactic. Keeps us guessing and we can’t badmouth beforehand. I don’t blame them. They’ve had to clean up their own mess for a while. They won’t overtly admit it, but we should see stuff like this going forward for the time being, light advertising and the surprise factor. They’re going to hope word of mouth brings people around on curiosity.   So, all that said, I just hope for a fun time tonight. ...

A Good Friday to You, Enthusiasts!   I hope it finds you well. So, there’s a few interesting tidbits floating around. Shall we break them down? I don’t see why not.   The first item of interest is Sasha Banks teasing an inter-gender match with Carmella’s “sommelier”, Reginald. I have nothing against inter-gender matches if they are well paired. So, my problem with this is Banks being about a buck 25. Reginald is not a big guy but I’m sure he weighs more than that. So, the point I’m getting to is that it’s hard to buy this match. So, I’m expecting some sort of hijinks to ensue. Now if she was facing someone like Drake Maverick, I could buy it because they’re damn near the same size. But a woman facing off against a guy who weighs more than her given weight-class is hard to believe unless said woman has martial arts in their repertoire. So, if Shayna Baszler came through or Ronda Rousey took this match, I’m more likely to accept it because they could use their skills to ...

A Good Monday to You, Enthusiasts!   I would ask if you enjoy the 2 nd day off we get of the year but with so many at home anyway, not sure it really matters currently. Have faith.   2022 is looking good so far.   So, when it comes to wrestling news there’s a bit floating around. I suppose the biggest bit of news is that the WrestleManias have been set for up to 2023. WrestleMania 37 will remain in Florida and have limited fan attendance. It has also been pushed back to April 10 th and will conclude on April 11 th . In 2022, WrestleMania will be held in Dallas at AT&T Stadium on April 3 rd . In 2023, it will come back to the West Coast and be held at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 2 nd . It’s hard to think this far into the future but I’m glad there are plans set. Gives everyone something to work with and look forward to. We’ll see what happens between now and then.   In the meantime, many wrestlers are now claiming their entry into the Royal ...

Greetings Enthusiasts! Well, I have to say this is one of the better Fridays I’ve had in some time.   I hope it’s going awesomely for you as well.   So, let me just offer condolences to the passing of Mr. Rocky Johnson.   I didn’t know the man during his wrestling days but we all know that he is the primary source and Father of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.   It’s always sad when a member of the WWE Universe passes.   It seems to happen all too often but this is one of the bigger passings.     May his legacy remain honorable and strong. Since this is basically an uncle to Roman Reigns and The Usos, I doubt this tragedy will affect the night’s offerings, but I would expect them to attend the funeral.    SmackDown escorts us into the Go Home Week and what’s advertised could be interesting.   Apparently, Roman Reigns and Robert Roode are going to do a Ladder Match.   Seems a bit much but, I’m expecting hijinks.   Dad (Kane...

Well, Enthusiasts this is hard to say. The Match Card could be interesting, but will it be?  The PPVs don't really disappoint but as is usual with The Rumble, what surprises lurk?  We've got Seth Rollins without a placement & out to get Triple H, how will that play out?  Who are gonna be the surprise entrants in The Rumble?  Who's gonna win it for a Wrestlemania Main Event spot? Then, there are the title matches. Well, the title matches are the title matches and we'll see what changes hands or not but those matches will have a lot of pressure to sell in light of the more engaging dramas circling.  With no real build up or reasoning for the bulk of them, it will be on the wrestlers involved to put on a great show and keep us caring.  Do you feel they're up to the challenge?  As always, Enthusiasts, we will see.  Funny tweets get retweeted and if a Favorite does appear, it will be properly exalted   See You in a Bit, -Nicole Alexis ...
