WWE Musings

A Good Thursday to You, Enthusiasts. So, the Super Showdown III should be underway by now and I can’t say that I’m all that excited.   You know, being a work day and all, I can’t really indulge until later but that doesn’t mean that I’m not curious about some matches.   I won’t bother with speculation, it’s too much of an exhibition but here’s my 2¢ on some of the more interesting match ups. First of all, I find it interesting that Goldberg has got the fire back in his eyes.   Word is that this year’s Royal Rumble lit him up and now he’s raring to go.   So, my question becomes why set him up with The Fiend?   Now, there may be the school of thought that this may help sell The Fiend, mainly because Goldberg isn’t buying him.   This could create an interesting dynamic because those like me, who don’t really get this Fiend gimmick, will probably side with Goldberg by default which makes for a good sense of competition against the fans who are all about The Fiend.   That means a

Happy Valentine’s Day, Enthusiasts! Regardless of your status, I hope it’s a splendid 1 for you.   Have some fun one way or another.   As for tonight’s SmackDown, looks like we have some playful hijinks awaiting us with Otis finally getting a “date” with Mandy Rose.   This has been done tastefully so far, hopefully they can keep it that way because we all know how far downhill this sort of thing can go.   The WWE is not known for its taste.   Quite the contrary actually but, seeing how there’s competition and awareness in the mix now, they’re being forced to up their game. Surprisingly enough, RAW has been holding up its side of the proverbial bargain and so SmackDown is in the “keep up” position by default.   That may be why the Ladies are leading what’s floating around for tonight’s show.   Outside of the Otis & Mandy Rose story, Bayley will have a box with Carmella for the Women’s Title.   I have to say, ole ‘Mella has earned her keep.   She may be about a buck-fiftee

How Goes It, Enthusiasts? This Monday treating you right?  Well, hopefully it’s about to get better. So, for a little SmackDown recap, I have to say that I have 2 surprises to touch on.  Apparently, we were dis-informed or simply got it wrong as contrary to the popular rumors going around, The Fiend will not be facing Roman Reigns at the Super Showdown III but Goldberg will of all people.  And on top of that, Goldberg sold his side of the match.  That dropped my jaw more than anything else.  Guy’s actually up for it.  I’m not expecting this to go well or smoothly but if Mr. Goldberg can pull it off, I’ll certainly tip my hat.  Yet, I’m expecting Goldberg to go down to a Mandible Claw just ‘cause he’s 107.  That’s what I’m calling the “geriatric treatment” this time around. The second surprise comes in who Roman Reigns will be facing, since it’s not The Fiend, he gets Baron Corbin again but in a Steel Cage Match.  Now, the WWE may be trolling a bit here because the social m
