Alright, let’s talk about this wrestling stuff, the WWE upcoming PPV, you know? My grandkids, they love this stuff, all the smackdowns and body slams. I don’t get it half the time, all them fancy moves and shiny belts, but they yell and cheer, so I guess it’s somethin’.
Now, they was tellin’ me about some big shows comin’ up. Sounds like there’s always somethin’ goin’ on, these fellas don’t rest, always fightin’ and whatnot. They mentioned somethin’ called… uh… Royal Rumble? Yeah, that was it. Royal Rumble 2021. Sounded like a big deal, lots of wrestlers all jumpin’ in the ring together. Said it happened in January, back in 2021, in some place called Florida. St. Petersburg, to be exact. Tropicana Field, they called it. My boy said it was on January 31st, 2021, and started ’round six in the evenin’. The main show, that is. They even had a little warm-up show before that, same time, six o’clock.
Then there was somethin’ else in February, right after that Rumble thing. NXT Takeover, they called it. Vangeance Day. Hmph, fancy names. That one was in Orlando, Florida, at the Capitol Wrestling Center. Same deal, kick-off show at six, then the main show. February 14th, that was. Valentine’s Day, can you believe it? Them wrestlers, always workin’, even on a lovey-dovey day.
And wouldn’t ya know it, another one in February! Elimination Chamber. That sounds scary, like they lock ’em up in a cage or somethin’. Back to St. Petersburg, Tropicana Field again, February 21st. Same times, six for the warm-up, six for the main fightin’. These fellas sure do like Florida, don’t they? Always runnin’ around down there, throwin’ each other around.
- Royal Rumble 2021: January 31st, St. Petersburg, Florida.
- NXT Takeover: Vangeance Day 2021: February 14th, Orlando, Florida.
- Elimination Chamber 2021: February 21st, St. Petersburg, Florida.
Now, they was also yappin’ about somethin’ recent, somethin’ called RAW Day 1. That was just this year, 2024, in San Diego. January 1st. Started the year off with a bang, I guess. I swear, these shows are all over the place. One day they’re in Florida, the next they’re in California. Must be tirin’, all that travelin’.
I tell ya, I don’t know how they do it. All that jumpin’ and flippin’ and yellin’. And the costumes! Some of them fellas look like they raided a Halloween store. But the crowds go wild, and my grandkids, they love it. So, I guess it’s good entertainment, or whatever they call it these days. They keep talkin’ ’bout who’s gonna win, who’s gonna be the champion. It’s like a soap opera, but with more muscles and less cryin’. Probably more sweaty, though.
So, if you’re into this wrestlin’ stuff, keep an eye out. Sounds like there’s always a show comin’ up. They got these big PPVs, that’s what they call ’em, Pay-Per-Views. Means you gotta pay to watch, I reckon. And they got these weekly shows, RAW and SmackDown, they call ‘em. It’s a whole world, I tell ya. A world of spandex and fake punches and loud noises. But hey, if it makes folks happy, who am I to judge? Just keep your eye on the schedule, ’cause it sounds like they’re always addin’ more dates and more cities and more wrestlers, it’s a lot to keep track of. I just hope them boys don’t get hurt too bad, all that fallin’ and whatnot. It looks dangerous, even if it is all pretend-like. But that’s the wrestling schedule for ya, always busy, always somethin’ goin’ on, more fights than a chicken coop, I tell ya.
So that’s all I know about these here wrestlin’ shows. Just what I hear from them grandkids of mine. They get all excited, and I try to listen, but it’s like a different language sometimes. All I know is, there’s a lot of it, and it happens all the time, and it’s comin’ to a town near you, probably, if you’re lucky, or unlucky, dependin’ on how you look at it. So, keep your ears open for the next big WWE event, ’cause you can bet your bottom dollar it ain’t far off.
