Alright, let’s talk about this… uh… “wwe pwo” thing. I ain’t no expert, ya know? Just a plain old woman tryin’ to make sense of it all. My grandson, he’s always yellin’ about it, so I figured I’d try and figure it out.
First off, what’s this “pwo” thing? Sounds like somethin’ you’d yell when you’re fixin’ to fight! But the young’uns tell me it stands for somethin’ fancy, like “Pittsburgh World Order.” Pittsburgh? That’s where they make steel, right? Don’t know what steel’s got to do with wrestlin’, but there ya go. Maybe they hit each other with steel chairs, I dunno. Sounds painful, if you ask me.
Then there’s this “pay-per-view” thing, or “PPV” as the young’uns call it. Sounds like a money grab to me! You gotta pay extra just to watch these fellas wrestle on TV? Back in my day, we just watched it for free, right there in the town square. Now, you gotta fork over your hard-earned cash. But I guess if people wanna watch it, they’ll pay, ain’t they? It’s like paying for the prize-winning pig at the county fair, only you are paying to watch grown man beating each other up.
My grandson, he likes this “Alpha Academy” group. Said they’re good guys, the “heroic” type. Sounds like somethin’ out of a picture show, all that heroic stuff. They’re on somethin’ called “Raw.” Raw? Like raw meat? Maybe they fight like wild animals, I dunno. Wrestlin’s always been a bit wild, I guess.
And then there’s “SmackDown.” Sounds like what happens when you get your husband mad! But it’s another one of them wrestlin’ shows, I reckon. They had some kinda show on November 29th, my grandson was yellin’ about it all night. Couldn’t hear myself think with all the hollerin’ and cheerin’ goin’ on.
- So, you got your “PWO,” whatever that is.
- You got your “PPV” where you gotta pay to watch.
- You got your “Alpha Academy” fellas, the good guys.
- You got your “Raw” show, sounds wild.
- And you got your “SmackDown,” where they probably just smack each other down.
Then there’s this lady, Momo Watanabe. Sounds like a nice Japanese name. My neighbor Mrs. Lee has a granddaughter named Momo. She’s such a sweet girl, always brings me fresh flowers. Anyways, this Momo Watanabe, she’s been wrestlin’ for almost 10 years! That’s a long time to be gettin’ thrown around. She was talkin’ about some “Historic X-Over II.” Sounds fancy, like one of them crossover SUVs they got now. But I bet it’s just more wrestlin’. They love givin’ things fancy names, don’t they?
And finally, there’s this “SummerSlam” thing comin’ up in 2024. SummerSlam? Sounds like a big party, maybe a picnic. But it’s probably just another big wrestlin’ show. Gotta make that money, I guess. My grandson’s already savin’ up his allowance so he can watch it on that pay-per-view thing. Kids these days, always glued to that TV.
So that’s what I’ve learned about this “wwe pwo” stuff. It’s all a bit confusing to me, all these fancy names and acronyms. But it seems like folks enjoy it. They yell, they cheer, they pay their money. To each their own, I always say. Me? I’d rather be sittin’ on my porch, sippin’ ice tea and watchin’ the birds. But hey, at least now I can understand a little bit of what my grandson’s always jabberin’ about.
It’s a crazy world, this wrestlin’ world. All I know is, those fellas must be tough. Gettin’ thrown around like ragdolls, that ain’t no easy job. But hey, if they enjoy it, and folks enjoy watchin’ ’em, then more power to ’em, I say.
Anyways, that’s all I got to say about “wwe pwo.” Hope I made some sense of it all. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got some gardenin’ to do. Them tomatoes ain’t gonna water themselves, you know.
