WWE Musings

Happy WrestleMania Day 2, Enthusiasts. How did you like last night? To be honest, it felt like everyone stepped aside for the main event in my opinion. If I had any say, I’d act like that was the point. With The Rock threatening referees for doing their jobs, it’s safe to assume that the roster doesn’t want to be on his radar 😉 I will say that Sami Zayn vs. GUNTHER didn’t have that feel and I’m glad they gave it to Zayn. Now, let’s see if Zayn can run with it and be a new kind of champion. If he can back it up, he can back it up. And that’s all I’ll say about that.  Rhea Ripley vs. Becky Lynch also seemed impervious to the night’s events though, with Lynch supposedly sick I suppose the predetermined outcome was foreshadowed with that information. I just hope it’s not strep throat. If Ripley gets sick next, we all know why.  And so, what about Day 2? Well, since Day 1 was a little reserved, Day 2 has full clearance to go all out. Here are the matches I’m thinking hold the most intrigue

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts! Happy WrestleMania Day 1.  So, this is a packed weekend and I got a lot on my plate on top of that so, I’ll take my time and also be brief. There are 7 matches on the card tonight plus whatever extras they got planned so this is gonna be a long day and that’s just the half of it. Let’s get into it. So, the first match I’m looking at is Bianca BelAir, Jade Cargill and Naomi teaming up to face the New Damage CTRL. Now, to look at it, it does look very lazy. The Black (African-American) women against the Japanese Women & Dakota Kai. I guess Kai technically makes the whole thing diverse but I don’t see many people really buying that. And so, why is this an issue? It doesn’t really have to be but in the face of a casual fan base with random new onlookers, one has to wonder what sentiments it conjures.  On the other hand, I wouldn’t want forced diversity just to quiet sensitive fans or head-off inadvertent backlash. WWE is good at getting the best. They don

Happy Royal Rumble, Enthusiasts!   It’s been a mixed bag, to say the least. Well, there’s not much to talk about since the card is fairly light which hopefully means the Rumbles are a going to be jam-packed and full of surprises so, let me get into the 2 matches of interest I have. First let’s just get out of the way that given light of all the recent allegations against Mr. Vince McMahon, he read the room and resigned from WWE/TKO. He claims innocence but given his known history it’s unlikely anyone really buys that but that will be for his counsel to handle. This is a bit of a PR nightmare so I don’t blame him for not trying to hang around. It's hard to defend yourself when you’re in company like Jeffery Epstein and Harvy Weinstein and the like.   Nevertheless, it allows us to focus more on the Royal Rumble and not these unfortunate accusations. That said, let me get into the first match of interest, the Fatal-4-Way with LA Knight, Randy Orton, Roman Reigns and AJ Styl

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts!     It’s Survivor Series and, to be honest, the card is looking pretty light . So, either the War Games matches are planned to be epic or there are some surprises scheduled. I won’t speculate . Many will be anticipating a CM Punk drop and if not that, the fallout from him not showing. I won’t be heartbroken if he doesn’t show but I get the feeling he will sooner than later.     In any case, since there’s not much on this card, I only have 2 matches of interest. The first of which is GUNTHER v. The Miz. This is interesting because Technically , the Miz is due a Championship run. He’s had a few in the past but he should be more than just a jobber. Yet, how realistic is it that he actually wins ? And then, where to go from there? Is this just a pathway to get a title on LA Knight? Is GUNTHER going to make a play for the HeavyWeight or Undisputed Title?     Here’s where it gets interesting. Though I respect Gunther as a performer, he is boring. I don
