WWE Musings

A Good Tuesday to You, Enthusiasts! So, the news that’s circulating about this week’s RAW is the obvious brutalization of Seth Rollins.   I could see this was the plan but the point is just what I brought up on the Twitters.   We don’t mind bumps.   This gig comes with ‘em and requires sturdy types who can take ‘em.   You’re going to catch a bruise or scrape from time to time.   It’s just how it is and we understand.   But of course, Brock Lesnar was depicted as “the Beast” and demolished Rollins but since this was unprovoked, the bigger question comes to the fore.   How do we present violence within our changing social landscape?   Now, I get it.   This act is not to be condoned and I’m sure they’ll address it tonight or next week but We the Audience, the more upstanding ones anyway, do not want people hurting themselves for our pleasure.   It’s not necessary.   We’re glad these ladies and gentlemen sacrifice themselves but we don’t want anyone paying too much of a price.   Afte

Good Tuesday to You, Enthusiasts. Well, I can’t fully comment on RAW since I had connectivity issues galore but given what I did see it seems that the WWE is in a place where it usually is, trying to come up with new ways to feed us their offerings.   Now, I could be more derogatory here but I don’t see the reason, especially seeing how they’ve served up worse on the regular before.   Nowadays, I would say they’re really trying.   I see people really putting an effort to be presentable and engaging.   Does it always work?    No.   You have to liken the WWE to something along the lines of your high school or college football team taking Drama Classes.   These guys and gals aren’t generally actors.   They’re more or less athletes and half the time you get some who are charismatic.   The rest, have to work on their presentation.   That’s what we get each week.   Some guys have got their shtick together others are still working on it and each week they take a new crack at it.   We’

A Merry Monday to You, Enthusiasts! Yes, I have been away.   I had to move.   And as you all know, moving is quite the ordeal.   I did it fairly smoothly.   Starting to get it down to a science, actually.   Now, I’m settled in for the most part and ready to reestablish my sense of “normal”.   So, what do we have to look forward to tonight? From the looks of things that Rowdy one, Ronda Rousey, is up for finding an ass to break her foot off in.   Apparently, Alicia Fox’s crazy ass is up for a go-round.   She’s looking to sell the Rousey machine but I suppose it’ll be in a way that saves some face since Fox has home-field advantage.   We’ll see what they do. Also, it looks like we have a new mini feud brewing between Bobby Roode and Mojo Rawley.   Personally, I don’t mind this but what I do feel they should watch is how serious they are about this.   These 2 are kinda campy.   It’s hard to take them seriously and they may be honestly angling for some sort of legitimacy, yet
