An Old Nerd Wonders Where The LIghts Will Stop

A thing is happening on The Road!

They call it the Road To Wrestlemania, which is apt, because much like any road to an exciting destination, it’s pretty boring, and if something happens to change your trip it’s probably because something’s gone horribly wrong.

Anyway, Elimination Chamber is the first stop on the Road, and at least, unlike Fastlane, it has an important thing happening and an elaborate, ridiculous structure for it to happen in.

An Old Nerd Stayed Up Way Past His Bedtime To Watch The Entire Royal Rumble

Oh yeah. That’s the stuff.

Goddamn. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I liked most of what happened at the Royal Rumble. I just didn’t like how long it took or how much it dragged making its way to the results I was mostly but not entirely OK with.

The Old Nerd Enjoyed Takeover Phoenix More THan He Expected

I’m still a Bel-ieve-air.

Desptie having a tough time with the predictions, I ended up doing way better than I thought I did. And the show was better than I was expecting, although once again a Takeover main event got outshone by the rest of the card.

An Old Nerd Is Emotionally Prepared To Rumble

HEAD SLAPPING TIME

I am, in many ways, ready to Rumble. The two battle royals can be so much dumb fun when they don’t ruin it, plus there are a few solid matches on the main card. Predictions!

An Old Nerd Predicts Another Takeover Badly

IT HAS FANGS FOR SOME REASON

I’m excited for this Takeover because it’s a Takeover, and I like most of the people involved, but I’m not super into any of the stories this time around. Well, except one. And the predictions are gonna be ROUGH.

An Old Nerd Belatedly Remembers Another PPV Happened

Glad it happened even if it’s under less than ideal circumstances.

I suppose it be3hooves me to get WWE’s last PPV of the year on the books while the year still exists. Not an awful show if you have access to the fast forward button.

An Oldnerd Has A New Favorite Spider-Man Movie

Not too many Spidermens

This has been an amazing year for superhero movies. Black Panther, Infinity War, Deadpool 2. Lots of people liked Incredibles 2 (which I haven’t seen yet. I know. Netflix end of January.) Ant-Man And The Wasp was fine. Some people even liked Venom and Aquaman.
