Alright, let’s talk about this wrestling stuff, the WWE trades in 2024. You know, the wrasslin’ where them fellas and gals pretend to beat each other up? Yeah, that stuff. My grandkids watch it all the time, so I kinda picked up a thing or two.
So, this year, they done switched up the wrestlers, movin’ ’em around like checkers on a board. They call it “trades,” I think. Like, one fella goes from that “Raw” show to “SmackDown,” or somethin’ like that. It’s like movin’ from one farm to another, I guess, ‘cept they ain’t farmin’ nothin’ but trouble.
Now, why they do this tradin’ thing? Well, from what I gather, it’s to keep things “fresh,” they say. You know, so folks don’t get bored seein’ the same ol’ faces beatin’ up the same ol’ people all the time. It’s like plantin’ different crops each year so the ground don’t get tired, I reckon. This way, they can make up new stories, new fights, keep folks watchin’. Gotta keep them eyeballs glued to the TV, that’s how they make their money, I figure.
And this “NXT” thing? It’s like the minor leagues for wrasslin’. Them young’uns start there, learn the ropes, then maybe they get called up to the big shows, Raw and SmackDown. It’s like farmin’, you start with the little seeds, then they grow big and strong.
- Raw
- SmackDown
- NXT
They got these belts, see? Championship belts. They’re shiny and big, and everyone wants one. Seems like they got a bunch of ’em now, too many if you ask me. Makes it confusing. They say they gotta figure out how to share them belts between the shows, especially with the ladies. Sounds like a mess, like tryin’ to divide one pie between too many hungry mouths. It’s gotta be fair, or folks will start hollerin’, just like when you don’t give the grandkids equal pieces of cake.
This WWE, it’s the biggest wrasslin’ show in the whole wide world. They been at it for a long time, changin’ their name a few times too. Somethin’ about a wildlife fund, I heard. Anyway, they got all these wrestlers, and they make up stories, like soap operas but with more body slams. They pretend to fight, but it ain’t real fightin’, ya know? They got moves, like “superkicks” and “pedigrees,” sounds fancy, but it’s all for show. It’s like a play, a big, loud, sweaty play.
This tradin’ thing, it lets them mix things up. If one show gets too many good guys or too many bad guys, they can trade ’em around. Keeps things balanced, like a good garden. You don’t want too much of one thing and not enough of another. It’s all about makin’ the stories interestin’, keepin’ folks guessin’ who’s gonna win, who’s gonna turn bad, who’s gonna get that shiny belt.
So, that’s what I know ‘bout these WWE trades. They move the wrestlers around, make up new stories, and try to keep folks entertained. It’s a big business, this wrasslin’ thing, and they gotta do what they gotta do to keep folks watchin’. Just like farmin’, you gotta keep things movin’, keep things growin’, or else you ain’t gonna have nothin’ to show for it at the end of the day. And that’s the plain truth, as I see it.
I don’t know who’s going where exactly, names ain’t my strong suit. But they’re movin’ ’em around, that’s for sure. And I bet them young’uns of mine will be glued to the TV, watchin’ every punch and every slam, just like they always do. And I’ll be right there, too probably. It’s better than watching those other crazy things on TV at least, I guess. Ain’t no accounting for taste I tell ya.
