As has been happening lately, a lot of people are coming back to watching WWE, or watching it for the first time. I think, ever since Survivor Series last year, it's as though a new era of pro-wrestling has begun. This last Wrestlemania season was one of the best of all time.
But, to the point.
It had been years since I watched WWE, so I'm really behind on things. The major problem is I know who a lot of the wrestlers are, as I was heavily into NXT a while ago, and so a lot of my favourite superstars from that roster are now major players on RAW and Smackdown, but I don't know how they got to their positions or the background on things.
I've found WWE's Youtube channel to be extremely helpful in catching up... kind of in the way that old WWF VHS tapes were able to catch you up on the last few years of a certain superstar and highlight some of their big moments, including some of the matches.
Now, I've been a big fan of Liv Morgan ever since she was in a stable called the Riott Squad, which included Sara Logan and was led by Ruby Riott - I really dig the punk theme, and I very much enjoyed Liv Morgan's style. But, she's clearly grown a HUGE amount since those early days. Now she's involved in a very interesting storyline with the Judgment Day. How did we get here? The story is a lot bigger than I thought it was, and it has its origins March 2022 when Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan worked as a tag team. This is a really good collection of clips to give the full background:
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
