The second season of WWE LFG just started (a few weeks after the first season ended). Is anyone else watching this show? I'm genuinely curious. If you're not privy, it's a competition-based reality show that reminds me of The Voice. I only know how The Voice works because my mom is obsessed with it, but basically, celebrities form teams of hopefuls and they "duke it out." Replace singing with wrestling. Same thing. The Legends are Bubba Ray Dudley, Booker T, Michelle McCool (having supplanted Mickie James), and of course, The Undertaker. I'll withhold my comments about the term "legend." I think it's pretty obvious what is happening here. Yes, The Undertaker is a legend, but ehhhh...
If this show were a shoot, it would be more interesting. For some reason, they have to fabricate feuds between the rookies. I would love to see actual training footage. Plus, it's so rare to see the guys and gals putting matches together, that alone would be an intriguing concept. But as it stands, it's pretty vanilla. And they're doing that annoying thing where the winner is obviously NOT the one with the most potential. If you've been watching, you know that Tyra Mae Steele shouldn't have gone over, so to speak. I've seen some of the rookies concurrently compete on Evolve, WWE's c-show that streams on Tubi. So who knows what the plan is going forward?
I described LFG as "vanilla." That's where we are right now with respect to WWE's main roster. There are people I like, but geez, why are the shows so boring? Am I supposed to be looking forward to the Goldberg match? John Cena's heel turn has been a partial success, but they don't seem to know where it's going. Now, I'm sure they know where it's going, but unless he retires as a heel (which isn't happening), something isn't clicking. I wished that CM Punk won the title in Saudi Arabia. That would shake things up, but then again, I keep wishing for A.J. Lee to return. Speaking of the women's division, Evolution looks lackadaisical. Again, am I supposed to be looking forward to a Nikki Bella match?
So there you have it. A bunch of complaining. That's going to be the title of this post on the Rassle Inn index page.
