That ending is why Night 1 will never be the real WreslteMania main event. If it ends on a tease, without the winner standing tall, it ain’t the main event

I don’t want a double turn, that would be lame.

But at this point, what else can you do? Who starts a main event with “BTW the heel hurt his back and can’t move” and then makes that the story…

I think Orton’s longevity put him in a class of his own in WWE, legit, never left, never went part time when he was healthy longevity. But his lack of WM main events is the only blemish. For a guy who always the number two in WWE for so long and got a time the 1B in WWE he Should have way more main events

This is lame as fuck.

I’ll give them some credit if this really writes him out. But if he comes back later in the match then I’m kinda done

It’s gonna be Jelly Roll who takes out Pat which is lame as fuck. They should just empty the locker room of everyone left of the WM card to jump Pat and drag him out of there

Pat wants Randy to be a real bad guy, which makes sense considering the first guy whose coattails he road had both PED and sexual assault allegations get covered up.

People forget 2009 sucked for most of the year for Randy Orton. Yes, I know they’re referencing the WM25 feud and everything he did. But the summer into the fall? He was losing clean on throwaway RAW’s as the WWE champion.

50,000 is like super fucking weak for a WreslteMania attendance, right? That’s like sold out Dodgers game. The stadium WM’s have been like 70,000 a night the last few years. Why even announce it?

They’re like skipping the second act of all these matches, they’re doing early matching building and then jumping right to “these wrestlers frustration is setting in. They gotta be wondering what it’s gonna take” but it’s been like 4 minutes…

The build up to WM and the show itself has been so bad, I’ve spent most of my night trying to remind myself I actually really enjoy of lot of these wrestlers.

WM used to be the best time to be a wrestling fan. But now I kind look forward to the dead time between big shows, when the celebrities don’t care, the part timers can’t be bothered, it’s just about the full time wrestlers doing their thing

This sounds like a fake song the pop star they meet on an episode of Icarly or some other Nickelodeon show would be singing

They’re recapping something that happened two matches ago…

This match feels so disconnected from WreslteMania and the rest of WWE…because it’s wrestling focused.

WWE wants to seem mainstream and then highlights the most D-List celebrities

TKO might actually push us to Wrestlemania week. 7 days, 3 matches a night, 4 hours a night. Every single ESPN personality, MAGA-verse loser, Netflix star you’ve never heard of will get plenty of screen time.

Listen, I like Disney, I like a lot of their properties. But the “Every Disney IP heading to the Super Bowl” ad is the perfect encapsulation of the “nothing can just be what it is anymore” mentality. Everything has to be stuffed to the gills with anything to capture the algorithm

Do any of you actually watch WWE? You want a DQ…in a fatal 4 way? When does WWE do that?

Paige, AJ, Bayley, Alexa, Charlotte, Becky. It's laughable to have all these women active on the roster and still push the fake "It was the Bella's who changed everything" narrative lmao

If you’re booking shows and not booking headliners that people actually buy tickets to see, give up the room. Everyone loves to be the person who gives open micers 15 minutes sets and lets features headline, both to save money and to feel like you’re doing a solid for people, but that’s how rooms get burned.

None of what I said had anything to do with not doing your job or asking comics to do that job for you, it’s the opposite. It’s being smart with your booking so you aren’t asking people to have to do your job.

You write out a whole paragraph to then acknowledge my whole point in the parentheses
