So here’s the deal… I watched this show over a span of three days because I no longer have the patience to sit through a ten-hour PPV. Wrestlemania might be the one sole exception if there is a party I can attend, but even that might be a stretch. So I watch this show and it feels like a complete waste of time. This isn’t a knock of the quality of the show, but rather just the “nothing happened” atmosphere that resonated throughout the show.

How To Kill Interest In Your Mania Main Event
Indulge me for a moment because I need to get this brief blurb off my chest.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2019
So in a rare feat by my standards, I actually watched a WWE PPV live. But not the whole show… instead I just sat through the two chamber matches that opened the show and skipped everything else in between. From what I’ve heard, the middle of the card, featuring a couple title changes and Baron Corbin beating Braun Strowman in a no-DQ match, was the drizzling shits. So once that first Chamber match was over, then I took some time editing the Pixel Player gimmick, which should be up sometime tomorrow, barring anything coming up that is beyond my control.
I posted some thoughts on the two chamber matches earlier this week, but just recently, with some unexpected free time on my hand, I decided to go back and watch the stuff that I skipped out on the first time around to see if it were as bad (or perhaps not as bad) as people made it out to be. Since I’ve watched the whole show, I’ve decided to take down the earlier post, expand on it considerably, and the end result is today’s bonus musings of sorts.
For the record, I wrote the bulk of this before Smackdown aired.
Royal Ramble 2019
Sorry for the week-long delay, but sometimes when you’re doing a ten-hour WWE PPV that is a sloth to sit through, you need a couple days to digest this whole thing. I tried watching this live, tapped out, eventually gave up and didn’t pick things up until a couple days later.
Fun fact: This is the first WWE PPV that I’ve attempted to watch in its entirety since perhaps Extreme Rules? Hell In A Cell? I don’t even remember now. There was that Super Slowdown show from Australia, but I think that was on tape delay or something. In any event, this was the first show that I laid my back on the couch to watch… the perfect position to be in when a show puts you to sleep. But did it do that?
Let’s find out…
WWE TLC 2018
I skipped this one originally, but I’ve heard good things about it and checked out some of the results, so I decided to give WWE TLC a bit of watch… and when I say a bit of watch, I mean “I’ll watch the important stuff and skip the rest unless something piques my interest.”
FOX Wants Legitimacy On Smackdown… And They Ask For Cold Ronda…
The last time Ronda was in anything resembling a “legit” combat match, she ate fist and took a year off. So if Ronda loses on Smackdown, she has to be off for a year or else there is no legitimacy to be had and it’s just another fake wrestling angle.
Smackdown moves to FOX in October 2019.
Smackdown (Nov. 13th, 2018) – Daniel Bryan Danielson Is Champion Again…
Not going into super heavy detail for this one, but I just wanted to address a couple key points here and be on my way. Yes, I’m a little late to the party, but what else is new?

WWE Heck In A Cell 2018
So there were three Network shows that took place in the past two months. One was playing in the background and I ended up watching first (as evidenced by the subsequent posting made). The other took place just this past weekend and I ended up not watching due to lack of interest. And then the other show is the subject of today’s post.
In any event, I completely forgot about the Hell In A Cell show until a couple weeks ago, so here we are. I’ve heard some good things about this show as well as some bad things, but the only reason I even bothered to watch this is spelled out for you in the banner for this post. That having been, this is being posted after two other events have already taken place and I will try NOT to elude to events I have yet to see… but sometimes, you know, I just can’t help myself.
Ramblemania 34
Hey, look at this. A timely Ramblemania! Well… almost timely.
So here’s the deal; this is a show where I had gotten little interest in and then slowly but surely, my interest piqued… mostly when a guy who hasn’t wrestled in three years is about to wrestle for the first time since the last time wrestle, but some of the other stuff were kind of intriguing and there were some interesting match-ups that I was really looking forward to.
Did it live up? Eh… let’s find out.
RAW (April 2nd, 2018) – Easter Monday Means Two-Thirds Of RAW For Me
So, first off, hope everyone has had a wonderful Easter weekend or Passover weekend or just plain ol’ long weekend if you have any of those.
Since I had (well, have) a long weekend off, that meant I was home to watch Raw for the first time in what seemed like forever. While I originally had other plans, said plans were cancelled at the last minute and I found myself with plenty of spare time to spare. So I started tuning in to RAW about an hour in, which meant I missed the opening segment with Cold Ronda, the Queen of Ear Rape, Jason Jordan’s Dad, and Gonad the Barbarian… and when I say missed, I really meant “dodged a bullet.”
Fortunately, the rest of the show fared better… which isn’t really saying much. In any event, here are about five-ish notable points about my Raw viewing experience in no particular order.
