I don't think it's being pessimistic considering the last two Wrestlemanias were way too long, and this year's show looks to be even bigger. If you have to break your show into sessions to keep the crowd from passing out, your show is too goddamned long. No one's "forced" to watch it all of course, It used to be a bucket list goal of mine to attend a Mania at some point, but I couldn't possibly imagine paying even StubHub prices to attend a 7+ hour stadium show.

At some point WWE has to decide if it's worth being able to brag that eleventy million hours were viewed on the Network if it comes at the expense of turning your marquee event into a crowd destroying death slog every year.

The thing about that is Dave will frequently mention how much he was in contact with Eric, so either Eric was exaggerating how much control he had at the time or he's trying to minimize how much of the mess WCW turned into after the fact was his fault.

I wonder if they are building up to a "Kofi Movment" where the rest of the SD locker room demands justice.

They almost got one with WWE, but then Jay had to go 'phobe it all up and ruin it for them,

I was hoping for a wager match with Rey/Andrade but I'm more than okay with Joe and Rey.

Konnan kind of admitted they screwed up, the Bucks were super over in Tiajuana and he thought it would carry over. Lucha fans tend to be very territorial still so someone big in one city might not get a peep in another.

Sting was kind of different since Vince has a complex about WCW (since they were beating his company for so long) that he doesn't have with the indies.

I forgot AJ/Orton, which actually should be pretty good too since Randy appears to give a shit for this feud.

So far the Mania card looks like this: Confirmed matches Brock/Seth Ronda/Becky/Charlottte Roman/Drew HHH/Big Dave Miz/Shane Boss n Hug/Divas of Doom/Nia & Tamina/probably the IIconics based on how the story is going Angle/Corbin Murphy/winner of 205 Live #1 contender tourney Probably happening: Bryan/Kofi Finn/Lashley/Lio in some kind of gimmick match Multiple team match for Raw tag titles Multiple team match for SD tag titles (since that's all they ever seem to do for tag belts on PPV anymore) Cena/TBD Joe/somebody apparently not Cena despite it seeming to be be what the storyline with Truth was going towards So despite the various fucky ways we got there, most of those matches look pretty solid.

This is such a weird match to book, one guy's half the Mania main event and the other guy just challenged the returning hero. Why book a match between two people who should be kept strong and not lose?

Maybe Brock comes out to kil Seth and Roman makes the save?

BIG DAVE dropping truth bombs out here

lol they're making the fans dislike of Baron/Angle part of the story

Dana, who was fast tracked from NXT because fitness model, is the underdog here....cool.

Oh hey, they remembered that Mojo angle everyone thought they gave up on.

Damn, Beth is *jacked*

Whoever was chanting for CM Punk during a fucking Kurt Angle/Chad Gable match needs to be banned from ever watching any wrestling ever again.

He is, he (allegedly) beat his ex wife.

Are they gonna get Travis involved in this angle now?

Holy shit I legit almost barfed from the zooming on those chairshots.

The DEA raided him for improper use of donated money, he took it from the charity's account and used it at a casino and for personal expenses.

Well it took them five years, but they are finally going to give the Warrior Award the way it was intended. Sue Aitchison, who has been with the company over 20 years is the liason between them and Make-A-Wish (among other community relations things) was named this year's recipient.

That reminds me, she appeared in one of Xavier Woods' videos playing D&D which to me was more business exposing than anything Ronda did.

I look forward to there being more Dana Brooke truthers online because she looks like a different person without all the heavy WWE makeup.
