WWE Musings

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Who caught the Super Showdown?   Well, it felt a little phoned in if you ask me but it wasn’t all bad.   I think Humberto Carrillo and Angel Garza snuck in and took match of the night as everyone else struggled to establish some sort of relevance.   That’s just kind of the state of affairs.   I don’t fault the performers here.   It’s clear that the vision is hazy for this product currently so, nights like Super Showdown tend to expose what’s working and what’s not. Whether anyone likes it or not, we have to accept that Brock Lesnar certainly established himself and that may have been the one clear thing about the night.   Ricochet didn’t seem qualified to be in the ring with him and that was my point my last post.   I see he’s a talented athlete but fighter?   Different animal.   Here, perhaps they can lead into an Aleister Black confrontation?   I hope that’s one of the eventual endgames.   And that doesn’t mean Ricochet can’t one day learn how

What’s Up, Enthusiasts! Enjoy the short week, if that was your lot?    I hope so.   I certainly made the most of it.   As for the WWE goings-on, believe it or not, this is the Go-Home SmackDown show for the Super Showdown.   They have before them the task of starting to whip up some true interest for this extravaganza and that’s not exactly impossible.   I find it interesting that what’s advertised concerns the Ladies, to be honest.   They have been the strongest part of the show recently but we know they’re not going to Saudi Arabia.   So, what does that mean? Well, let me be fair, there is 1 Ladies match but ultimately that is not the draw, though notable given.  Yet, let's not forget we do have Goldberg on the docket as well.   This means that more than likely we’ll get some response from The Fiend.   Will it land? Perhaps with half the crowd but for me, I’d be surprised.   But, at the same time, Goldberg did surprise me by selling his bit.   Guess it’s The Fiend’s t

Happy Presidents’ Day, Enthusiasts! Are you relaxing?   I would highly suggest it.   Anyway, we have about 10 days before this Super Showdown and it appears that the WWE is plotting a loose course.     It’s not entirely clear how it will all come to pass but we’re starting to get a rough idea.   SmackDown did its job and kept pace last week by keeping things relatively light for Valentine’s Day so RAW now has to continue to demonstrate it is the top show since it decided to re-establish itself there.   I’m not upset at this recalibration but  RAW now has to face up to the responsibility.   I’m sure SmackDown wouldn’t mind taking that sort of distinction back.     Anyway, before we can contemplate that reacquisition.     We have to see if RAW drops the ball and so far, it seems like they’re getting the hang of quarterbacking.   Tonight, we have to look forward to a “sermon” from Seth Rollins and it looks like Humberto “The Kid” Carrillo will pair with Rusev to take on the
