WWE Musings

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts! I know the bulk of us have been staying home but I’m so in the mood for this upcoming 3-day weekend.   Can’t wait to just check out.   But, before all that, we must have the bi-weekly conversation regarding the WWE Universe.   The main headlines concern the unfortunate passing of Shad Gaspard who apparently drowned after saving a child at the beach.   Word is that a riptide carried him out and that was that.   I was not familiar with this gentleman yet, these sorts of circumstances are always bittersweet because in order for someone to live, someone else had to die.   Let us hope this child understands the sacrifice and pays it forward in life.   Something else floating about is news of Jim Cornette’s response to Becky Lynch’s pregnancy.   I listened to some of the podcast and Cornette just comes off as a crotchety old man, to be honest.   If Lynch wants to go be a mom, why not?   She’s not getting any younger and if that was an aspiration of hers, now is

The floor’s gonna bust into pieces! 😜 A Good Tuesday to you, Enthusiasts!

Greetings, Enthusiasts!   Well, No Mercy is about to commence just a few miles away at the Staples Center and I don’t know…would you say there’s buzz?   Hmmm, I wouldn’t so much say that as there is curiosity.   There’s a lot of “hit or miss-edness” afoot and if not properly executed, this evening can potentially fall very flat.   For starters, we have the CruiserWeight battle that has Neville facing Enzo Amore for the title.   Now, we all know why this is happening.   With both Big Cass and Big Show out of action, what’s the WWE to do with Amore?   Well, see if he livens up the CruiserWeight Division.   It would appear that the WWE fan doesn’t care for the little guys boxing too much.   Though I find their in-ring antics more interesting and exciting, the WWE is still very old school and prefers to wait for the HeavyWeights.   Since it's obvious why this match is happening, We the Audience may or may not pay it much attention.   Neville’s prowess in the ring certainly can
