WWE Musings

A Good Monday to You, Enthusiasts.   Does it find you well? Give yourself some slack, daylight savings time and all. So, what’s going on in the wrestling world? Not that much, or rather no more than the usual but a few things stick out.   First, it appears The Miz is making a bid to be taken more seriously. There are photos of him looking leaner and meaner than usual circulating. I suppose he didn’t like how people reacted to him wearing the title. Well, working out is one thing, gaining skill is another. Though he is fine on the mic, most would say his wrestling is mediocre at best. He knows how to do what he does, I won’t challenge that but I can’t say I’ve ever been amazed by his matches. Let’s take John Morrison in comparison. Though he goes for the flash, he has demonstrated that he can have an engaging match. Coupled with the acrobatics, if you had to choose, it’s Morrison every time. So, if you ask me, getting jacked isn’t the key to The Miz’s success. Coming up with som

Hello Enthusiasts! Happy Sunday! So, we’re all here for Elimination Chamber and I don’t blame anyone for simply being curious. How they’re going to make this all make some sense is a bit more compelling to contemplate than in recent years. Not that they have gotten themselves into a mess or backed themselves into a corner it’s just, there are a lot of looming questions and we should presume that’s on purpose. That being said, the point I’m really trying to make is that I hope that the “plan” is as crafty as they think it may be. For me, that’s the real curiosity. Will it all amount to a watchable show? They have been focusing on streamlining the presentation. I have noticed and appreciate the effort. It’s been a long time coming. Now, we watch and witness whether WWE can maintain its own continuity, something I was beginning to think would never happen. The unexpected repercussions of a pandemic show themselves in mysterious ways 😉   Anyway, a lot of tonight’s intrigue comes f

A Good Evening to You, Enthusiasts! So, RAW was…thought-provoking at best an utter mess at worst but that’s nothing new.   The 2 segments of note were the opening with Roman Reigns unrealistically fending off “law enforcement” officers in blatant “violation” of his “suspension”.   Only to be subdued by an “unhinged” yet unprovoked Brock Lesnar resulting in Reigns receiving a “beat down” to prove as punishment for bringing his no-good, mug around.     All this did was cause my eyes to roll around in my head.   It’s like they don’t want us to watch WrestleMania or something.   Now that the premise of the match is completely drenched in laughable kayfabe, it appears the WWE doesn’t care who wears the title anymore.   I'm just curious to see how bad the trainwreck is in the end. To further add to the confusion, the Ultimate Deletion of Bray Wyatt was another previously filmed match that though challenges the boundaries of wrestling entertainment, to what end is ultimately the

A Good Monday to You Enthusiasts! Today we continue our jog to WrestleMania as we wait with bated breath to see whether Brock “Gun Jack” Lesnar is going to make his match worthwhile.  Also, we’ll witness the previously filmed “Ultimate Deletion” of Bray Wyatt courtesy of Matt Hardy.   Well, let's hope the WWE took a few notes from the House of Horrors because this taped content tends not to go over well.   It’s kinda the crux of a live show.   It’s hard to redirect to a screen when you have a live action and aren’t award show. Yet, I do commend the WWE for continuing to try to find new ways to present content.   I don’t mind the thought.   I’m glad someone’s trying to cook up new ideas but the format has to be respected.   People came to see live action so, what’s the stuff on the screen have to do with that?   If they come up with a solid answer, I won’t complain. Besides that, Asuka sees if she can “maintain her streak” against Alexa Bliss.   Hmm, these are both favori

A Good Tuesday to You, Enthusiasts! So, we have a few things to contemplate as we continue our steady jog towards WrestleMania.   First of all, Roman Reigns got himself “suspended” on RAW for insubordination over this whole Brock Lesnar matter.   It’s an intriguing angle but I’m not sure how it will play out.   This match is a tricky one.   Creative has sort of painted themselves into a corner with how these 2 have been handled in general over the years and this could help turn this match into something more palatable but, it will take some thought.   We know whatever we see would have been decided.    So, in the event of a Reigns win, there’s a good chance it will be booed but at least the title will be on someone who’s working full-time.   If Lesnar wins, the title continues to be held by someone who’s eyeing leaving the company anyway which could still garner boos but less than what Reigns would get unless they put on a great match. In that case, it may just not matter who

A Merry Monday to You, Enthusiasts! So, we open this Monday with a palm to the face as we hear Jeff Hardy gets himself into trouble with a DWI (Driving While Impaired) arrest over the weekend so, his fate is currently in limbo as the matter is investigated.   I hope this blows over.   We all know that the WWE doesn’t have the most reputable of rosters but this is more “rapscallion” type of behavior.   Hopefully, Jeff knows better overall. In any case, with FastLane complete, we turn back to RAW to continue our march to WrestleMania.   We have just about a month to go and so, expect the WWE to pace us a bit, treat this a like a marathon and the start gun went off yesterday.   So, we’ll see Roman Reigns face Brock Lesnar another time in the ring.   Let’s hope we actually want to see what happens.   We remember the last tug-o-war all too well and would rightly “boooo...” something similar.   Whatever they do, I just hope it’s fun.   With this day and age, going for the hard edge just
