WWE Musings

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Well, Survivor Series has come and gone and it was a good time from start to finish. It finally feels like WWE has found a respectable stride. Thought the day would never come. Don’t even have that much to complain about.  The only real debate from the show is which match was Match of the Night. Most would say it was the Men’s War Games but I have to say I was partial to the Triple Threat between Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins and Austin Theory. I didn’t anticipate it to be so entertaining and competitive. It was a lot of fun and definitely was the most exciting match of the evening.  I don’t mind that Theory won because I get the feeling that will probably change tonight or next week but it put him on the trajectory to be taken seriously in the future. I don’t know how seriously because though he is yoked, he’s not the biggest fellow. We may still scoff at him for a bit but he’s demonstrating that he understands the assignment night in and out and no one ca

And I have no idea what to expect. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. WWE has been crippled by its own monotony for years so I commend the experiment but that’s just it. This is a blatant experiment. If they’ve been done in the past, it’s been quite some time so, how it will land is the big question.  To be honest, I think the key tonight may be to not try so hard and to make sure they have fun. I had the idea that they should come out with banners à la Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon but I would be satisfied with a digital version. The real thing does take time to make.  My point is, due to the uncertainty of how this will go over, they should just aim to make a good time of it. They all know what they more or less have to do out there. They have to get us engaged in faux fisticuffs. Stick to the prime directive and it should be all right. All that said, there are a couple matches I am curious about. The first of which is the SmackDown Women’s Championship match with Ronda Ro

Happy Monday, Enthusiasts! I think I’ll mark Go-Home Weeks with that sort of salutation. So, how is everyone? Good, I hope. There are some things to talk about but I’ll only touch on a few of them. I’m picky when it comes to my wrasslin’. We’ll start with AEW news as they had some press recently. Last week, it was confirmed that Chris Jericho was in fact “The Bride” on The Masked Singer.  It does sound like the audience wasn’t familiar but at least he got some mainstream attention. Also in the AEW Realm, they had their Full Gear PPV last weekend. What stuck out to me was that on the polling of the best matches, the ones with WWE vets didn’t fair so well. This makes me wonder.  I’ve voiced how I feel that AEW, though liberating in some ways for those who’ve come through WWE, is technically a step back. This comes from it being a new promotion. WWE may seem a little suffocated by its legacy but it has a legacy. It’s older than most of its fans. AEW seems to be refuge for all those who ha

  Happy Monday, Enthusiasts! Hope it is treating you well. So, this week opens kind of tamely as there isn’t much to chat about. There are a few blurbs I could comment on but I don’t really have anything to get in depth for so let’s just keep this short and sweet, shall we? So, first item of note is that Kevin Owens injured his knee at a recent house show. We haven’t seen all that much of Owens but it’s always a shame when he’s laid up. Mess as he is out there, he does get the gig. Let’s wish him a swift recovery. In other news, be sure to pat Drew Gulak on the back if you see him. Word is that he’s the one who got Logan Paul into wrestling shape for Crown Jewel. Yes, Shawn Michaels threw his 2¢ in but it's sounding like that was more for show. I don’t know if Gulak will do much on-screen but whatever he can do behind the scenes is much appreciated. He shouldn’t feel bad. It’s a popularity contest for the most part when it comes to the WWE. That’s why I always suggest people view i
