C.S.

Sure, if the episode was supposed about Russo and Cornette. Unfortunately for them, it was about the Montreal Screwjob. Yet, their unwelcome and mostly unrelated pissing contest took up the last 20 minutes of the broadcast.

And that is probably how they do see it. Plus, Heavy Machinery has a future as a pushed version of The Bushwackers with a few title reigns. It's a nice spot overall for Otis.

Good question. That era is definitely under-represented in books. Booker T, Regal, and Dustin all have books, but I can't remember how much focus there is on pre-Nitro WCW. Dustin, in particular, seems to rush through his career. As for a book focusing solely on that specific era, there isn't one that I know of. Of course, there's the Nitro book, but that is the opposite of what you're asking for.

So, Big Show pulled a Hulk Hogan, and this was the true main event of WrestleMania?

Black is a bore as a character, and while a decent in-ring worker, he is overshadowed by better workers. Apollo is great in the ring but has never been able to put the pieces together otherwise. He should've been sent back down to NXT for more seasoning years ago.

Apparently, Edge vs. Orton is legit the second longest match in WrestleMania history (WM 12 Iron Man is first, of course). Source: https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2020/04/edge-vs-randy-orton-from-wrestlemania-36-criticized-over-668904/

His match with Rollins was pretty great though, or at least the finish was.

Agreed. The doomsday posts in this thread are ludicrous. Drew will be fine. If he's ruined, it will be because of the usual bad booking, not anything that happened on this show.

That was a video game match, but it served its purpose and accomplished what it needed to.

Match of the Night, and I'm not even kidding!

This is GLORIOUS!

What the FUCK is this?!

I guess he means she lives in Orlando, so it was a quick drive for her.

Bray is in it. It's a lost cause.

I'm exhausted. I don't have it in me for this match, as fun as it will probably be.

THANK GOD!

After this is all said and done, I just want a montage of all the times they cried during the match.

Remember when we all thought this should be the main event of Night 1?

Even Mauro couldn't save this. Taller and "handsomer."

Only 30 seconds.

Feels like a bad video game.

Otis vs. Ziggler was FUN. I'll take this over inconsequential throwaways like Lashley vs. Black any day, or even "good rasslin' matches" like Charlotte vs. Rhea where the outcome was never, ever in doubt, not even for a split second.

That's my main problem with it, other than not personally caring about either of these guys. It's such an inconsequential throwaway match. It doesn't matter, there's no point to it, and the outcome won't affect either man or the WWE as a whole.

Unpopular opinion: Black vs. Lashley is tonight's Corbin vs. Elias. I will never care about this match or either of the wrestlers in it, no matter how many "hoss stud brawls" Lashley had in TNA or whatever the hell Tommy End did on the indies. I. DO. NOT. CARE.
