So the WWF Title was vacated following The Main Event on 2/5/1988 with the twin Hebners angle. The initial bracket for Mania 4 that was released on the following Prime Time and hyped for at least a few weeks would've seen Savage and Dibiase meet in the tourney semifinals. It wasn't until the 3/8/1988 Prime Time that the bracket was revised and Dibiase was moved to the Andre/Hogan half of the bracket to set his path to the finals with a bye.
Was there any talk about original plans other than a Savage/Dibiase final that were scrapped and forced a reshuffling or was this simply a lack of attention to details?
I actually didn't mind most of this but thought it was ridiculously too long. This had moments I enjoyed and even appreciated *some* of the narrative, but it didn't even touch something like Edge/Orton where every minute just made me angrier. That was truly an all timer for me. This was just a miss, especially given their history.
I absolutely loathe Wyatt/Fiend and have thought practically every segment or match of his since returning awful other than Bryan at the Rumble. But I loved that.
That wasn't bad? No idea what to think but they worked pretty snug and even the playing to the crowd was somewhat endearing here. Its going to be a long weekend, but that was fun.
