Well, let me tell ya, wrestling these days, it’s all over the place, like a chicken with its head cut off. They got these shows, they call ’em “PPVs”, which I guess means somethin’ fancy, but to me it’s just more wrestlin’. Always askin’ what’s the next WWE PPV? Like there ain’t enough already!
So, from what I hear, and mind you, I ain’t no expert, just listenin’ to the young’uns talk, there was somethin’ called “Day 1” in San Diego, back in January. Sounded cold, San Diego in January. Shoulda had it in the summer, them wrestlers coulda got a tan.
Now, they’re talkin’ about 2025 already! These folks plan way ahead, like they know what the rooster’s gonna crow tomorrow. They say 2024 was big, wrestlin’ all over the world. I seen some pictures, them wrestlers in fancy places, not a cornfield in sight. Makes ya wonder if they even know how to shuck corn.
- They got this thing, Saturday Night Main Event, comin’ up January 25th, 2025. In Texas, mind you. Big place, Texas. Everything’s bigger there, even the wrestlers I bet. And it’s gonna be on that Peacock thing, and NBC. Fancy stuff. Not like the old days when you just turned on the TV and there it was.
- Then, right after that, February 1st, it’s the Royal Rumble. Sounds like a bar fight to me. Always rumblin’ and tumblin’, them wrestlers.
But the big one, the one everyone’s yappin’ about, that’s WrestleMania. And wouldn’t ya know it, it’s gonna be in Vegas! Las Vegas, they say. Never been there myself. Too much sand and too many lights, I reckon. April 19th and 20th, two whole nights of wrestlin’. My goodness, how much wrestlin’ can a person watch? They say it ain’t been in Vegas for 32 years. Well, maybe it was too hot for ’em before.
Used to be, they did all this wrestlin’ on Sundays. But now, some fella, Mr. Khan, I think they called him, he decided Saturdays are better. Says big sports are better at night. Maybe he’s right, I dunno. I’m usually asleep by then. They also got these pre-show things, talkin’ and talkin’ before the wrestlin’ even starts. Like they gotta fill up the time or somethin’. Just get to the punchin’ and the body slammin’, I say!
So, if you’re keepin’ track, that’s the schedule as far as I can tell. Saturday Night Main Event, then the Rumble, then WrestleMania. That’s a whole lotta wrestlin’, enough to make your head spin. Makes me tired just thinkin’ about it. I’d rather be out in the garden, pullin’ weeds. At least the weeds don’t try to pin ya.
But folks love it, this wrestlin’. They cheer and they boo, and they eat their popcorn. And those wrestlers, they keep on goin’, jumpin’ and flyin’ and pretendin’ to hurt each other. It’s a whole show, a big to-do. And it keeps changin’, always somethin’ new. New wrestlers, new moves, new places. Makes an old lady like me dizzy tryin’ to keep up.
So, yeah, that’s the next WWE PPV events, as best as I can figure it. Probably be more after that, they never stop. Wrestlin’s like the weather, always somethin’ new brewin’. And me, I’ll just keep on listenin’ to the young’uns talk, and tryin’ to make sense of it all. Maybe one day I’ll even figure out what “PPV” really means.
Upcoming PPV schedule is a hot topic for those wrestling fans. They just can’t get enough of it. Me, I’ve seen enough fights in my life, real ones too, no need for all this showmanship. But, to each their own, I guess. Just don’t expect me to stay up late to watch it.
So there you have it, a rundown of the WWE PPV business. Take it with a grain of salt, like I said, I ain’t no expert. Just an old lady tryin’ to make sense of this crazy world. And if you ask me, there’s too much wrestlin’ and not enough pie. Now, that’s somethin’ I can get behind.
