It's kinda ironic that the only two things that were generally considered great on what should be the premier wrestling show on the planet weren't actually wrestling matches.

you should expand your definition of what is and isnt a wrestling match then

if you dont want to thats okay, but its more fun if you stretch the limits of what constitutes one and what doesnt as opposed to sticking to rigid rules

They weren't wrestling matches because the wrestling aspect was entirely superfluous to both and could literally have been removed without anything meaningfully changing.

I'm all for Bray just being Pyramid Head at this point, a thing that can't be stopped by Grr Punching him, you have to deal with your own internal poo poo. Way the hell better than...whatever he's been doing until now

The most impressive thing about WM is honestly that they found a way to gently caress up Edge/Orton this badly. You'd think that even with WWE booking it would have ended up mediocre at worst, but no, they found a way to make it absolute dogshit.

Can you imagine if all this Mania had been one show and the Orton/Edge match had been in the last third?

It' actually kinda funny that this here Mania might actually have ended up being better than it otherwise would have due to the empty arena in some rear end-backwards way.

While the pretaped format is available they really shoulda got like an 8 minute goldberg match just to say they could. He coulda done stuff like.... a body slam.... an irish whip.... punches... you know the stuff people usually do before they win the world title every other year.

Yeah, since it was literally pretaped they could even just have had him do one spot and then let him rest for however long was necessary if they really had to.

I genuinely have to believe at this point the only consistent viewers they have left are ones that don't follow the news surrounding the company nor do they read the stories about the hosed up stuff that happens via the company. I think that's the only way they have a steady amount of viewers that still watch every week and that's why I don't have a go at them personally for still supporting it.

There has to be a base level of fans with their head in the sand that just want to watch for escapism and don't know about all the messed up poo poo going on in the background. I wish we could get some of those people here, untainted from reality to see what they actually think about the state of things.

My pet theory is that most people who watch WWE at this point just put it on as background noise.

I've always suspected that Roman could be a real star in a non-dogshit promotion, so I hope he leaves and goes somewhere where they won't gently caress him over for not killing himself for a nothing match.

roman would probably be fine but severely underwhelming if he went somewhere that put a heavy emphasis on in-ring skill because he learned how to wrestle wrong (aka was trained from the start by the wwe performance center)

i firmly believe juice robinson was an anomaly

Juice went through the NJPW dojo and I'm pretty sure that they can turn most anybody into a decent hand eventually no matter how wrong they've been trained beforehand. And before anybody points it out, I know that Yoshi-Hashi is the exception.


Still, it's hard to gauge how good someone who'd been stuck in the fed forever actually is because as we all know WWE is absolute dogshit.

Why do people think Disney would want to buy WWE? I'd imagine in the extremely unlikely scenario the company is sold it'd be to some company trying to break into the streaming game that's more sports adjacent like HBO.

It's a hypothetical scenario.

You write Trickster God and now all I can think about is Eddie feuding with Yano Toru with ever-escalating levels of cheating.

An Eddie/Yano would inevitably escalate to the point where both guys realize that they've cheated in every possible and impossible way already so they just go out and have a normal match.
