Well, let me tell ya, 2023 was a wild ride for them WWE fellas, you know, the ones always smackin’ each other around on TV. They had a whole bunch of these pay-per-view shows, big fancy events where you gotta pay extra to watch ’em. I don’t rightly understand all the fuss, but my grandkid, he loves it, so I end up watchin’ some of it too.
First off, they had this New Year’s Evil thing in January. Sounded spooky, didn’t it? Probably a bunch of guys dressed up in weird costumes and yellin’ a lot. That’s how most of these things go, far as I can tell. Lots of hollerin’ and thumpin’.
Then, all year long, they was havin’ these matches, championship ones, grudge matches, all sorts of matches. I reckon a championship match is when they fight for a shiny belt, and a grudge match is when they’re just plain mad at each other. Lord knows what they’re fightin’ about half the time. Probably somethin’ silly, like who stole whose lunch money or somethin’. These fellas, they sure do like to punch and slam each other around. They call it “premium live events” now, too fancy for my taste.
One of ’em was called Night of Champions. Sounded important, I guess. My grandkid said it was a good show, which means lots of bangin’ and crashin’. He gets all excited, jumpin’ around like a flea on a hot skillet. I just sit there and knit, mostly. Sometimes I peek, though, especially when they start yellin’ real loud.
There’s this fella named Jey Uso, apparently, he’s been in a bunch of matches. My grandkid says he’s a real good fighter, knows all sorts of moves. I don’t know about all that, but he seems like a tough fella, always grittin’ his teeth and lookin’ mean.
- They got all sorts of fights, like I said. Some for belts, some just ’cause they’re grumpy.
- They sure do like to put on a show, with all the lights and the music. It’s awful loud, sometimes makes my ears ring.
- My grandkid, he watches ‘em all on that Peacock thing on the TV. Says it’s the only way to see ‘em. I don’t know, TV’s TV to me.
They used to have somethin’ called TakeOver, but they don’t do that no more. Now they just have these special shows every now and then, spread ’em out through the year. Keepin’ folks on their toes, I guess. Or maybe just tryin’ to get more money outta ya.
They got a whole schedule of these things, but I can’t keep track of it all. Too many names and dates for this old brain. All I know is, there’s a lot of ‘em, and they’re always fightin’. Punchin’, kickin’, slammin’. It’s a wonder they ain’t all broke to pieces by now.
WWE pay-per-views, they call ‘em. Sounds important, I guess. But to me, it’s just a bunch of fellas in tight pants pretendin’ to beat each other up. Still, it keeps my grandkid happy, and that’s what matters, right? He tries to explain it all to me, the storylines and the characters, but I just nod and smile. It’s all a bit much for an old woman like me. I’d rather be in my garden, tendin’ to my tomatoes.
So, that’s the lowdown on them WWE shows in 2023, as best as I can tell ya. Lots of fightin’, lots of yellin’, and lots of my grandkid jumpin’ up and down. It ain’t my cup of tea, but it keeps him entertained, and that’s good enough for me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk of fightin’ has made me hungry.
