WWE Musings

A Good Monday to You, Enthusiasts.   So, who watched Fastlane? It wasn’t all bad but some it definitely left something to be desired. General consensus puts Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns as match of the night with Edge taking the heel turn. Drew McIntyre and Sheamus get second place. It would have been my first if Sheamus got the win but hopefully he gets his due come Summer Slam.   The Fiend fans loved his return but you know me, Enthusiasts. My eyes rolled far back into my head. I’m never going to like this angle. And I’m being consistent because I never cared for The Undertaker’s spiel either. I’ll accept the outlandish when it’s properly established and The Fiend is just not. I’m not that big of a horror fan so I’ll always say let Wyatt draft the 90 min. script and have done. Randy Orton gets points for being a trooper. He’s making gallons of lemonade with this shit.   As for the match of the night, I agree with what the WWE Universe is saying for the most...

How Are You Doing, Enthusiasts?   Glad the week’s is done? Yeah, me too. So, what’s going on in the wrestling world? Well, the biggest news appears to be Charly Caruso peace-ing out. Whether this is voluntary or not seems to be the real point of contention. Rumors are saying that she had been late to perform some roster interviews and just generally not the most professional recently. Well, that sounds like she got another gig to me but who knows. As we can see, WWE has already moved on with her replacement in Kevin Patrick so, I suppose that’s that.   Another interesting bit of news is how Kevin Owens isn’t feeling too confident about a having a place in WrestleMania this year. Well, he can’t fully complain because he got plenty of action in December which a lot of the roster, I’m sure, would have gladly taken. This is why WWE needs to focus on developing the WWE Universe. There’s no reason the likes of Kevin Owens should be sitting on the sidelines. What’s the point ...

Good Friday to You, Enthusiasts!   I hope this week treated you well.   So, the big news going around is who is AEW’s big acquisition? They’re saying it’s a doozy. So, who could it be? Well, from what I’m hearing we’re better off crossing off who it isn’t. CM Punk denies it. Batista says he’s got better things to do. Christian is contracted up with WWE and I doubt they could pay Brock Lesnar enough to make it worth his while. The way they’re going at it, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s someone like Shawn Michaels. I say that because the older wrestlers are getting a resurgence for whatever reason. Sting is already playing out his twilight years. Tully Blanchard got his old ass back in the ring. I doubt WWE has anything for Michaels and if he’s just sitting at home, antsy, why not make some cash with AEW? All I’m saying is that I bet it’s someone no one is really thinking about. I don’t know how much money AEW has to work with.   Besides that, the only bit of news ...

A Good Tuesday to You, Enthusiasts! So, RAW earns its keep and leaves SmackDown to merely break even tonight.   Though they used one of their old tricks in selling the Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins match, it was palatable enough given we have about 3 good weeks of action before WrestleMania.   I understand creating a “slow build” for these sorts of things and I wasn’t mad at the approach.   As for tonight, what really hangs in the balance is this impromptu push for Kofi Kingston.   We know he’s set for the impossible task of besting basically anyone who doesn’t have tag team duty in a gnarly Gauntlet Match to earn a shot at the WWE Title.   You know, what’s funny about this set-up is that if he succeeds, it kinda proves that we’ve been done a disservice all these years because he should have been in title contention all this time.   Wouldn’t that be how it is?   I’d liken it to how Dolph Ziggler dropped our jaws a few years back when Roman Rei...

How Goes It, Enthusiasts? I hope this Monday doesn’t have you too down.   So, as you can see, our jog towards WrestleMania picks up the pace to a steady run as we head towards the home stretch.   RAW has set itself back a bit with a shoddy performance last week and with the buzz of Daniel Bryan back in action, they have given themselves quite a bit of hole to dig themselves out of.   Given what’s been advertised, it’s hard to speculate how they plan to redeem themselves. There are rumors that Jeff Hardy may make an appearance but given that “Ultimate Deletion” from last week, I’m not sure that’s a good thing.   Don’t get me wrong, I generally enjoy the Hardy Boyz’ work but there have been some swings and misses of late.   Though the Ultimate Deletion got mixed reviews, I still strongly feel that the taped content needs work in terms seamless integration.   The WWE has to come up with the answer to why it’s better to buy a ticket for the “live experienc...
