Not sure why I expected anything else

Postby SortaCreative » Apr 04, '16, 2:22 pm

Just spent the entire evening watching Mania cos why not. Can someone give me my 4 hours back? I'd rather spend it just watching Nakamura's entrance on repeat.

Guys I love Nakamura and he's the king of pure extreme indie strong style please up vote :^)

but yeah mania was trash it didn't make me want to watch raw

It destroyed based dean seriously he looked like a bitch

The best match imo or at least the most memorable is between a 45 year old and a dead man in 2016
Zack Ryder is going to lose the title on raw or some shit and disappear into the shadow realm

Ugh...roman reigns is a meme wrestler so fuck the main event
I might actually start watching indieshit again and I haven't done that since 2009/10

Worse again, it was actually 5 hours long ... with a two hour pre-show.

It was an entertaining-ish show, but it showcased all of their usual problems. Lack of forward planning, bad storytelling, failure to make new stars, failure to pace things right ... all exchanged for memorable clips or cheap nostalgia pops. Wrestlemania felt a bit like the Zack Snyder film of pay per views. Like they came up with a bunch of fun spots that they wanted for a trailer, but these weren't connected to any kind of story and when you expand upon them they're just kinda an incoherent mess.

After the last two Wrestlemanias, which had been a step up from recent years, this definitely felt like a step back again.

Lack of planning to me has defined the wwe this entire decade

More than a step.

For every single match I said to myself, oh that person won? Ryder, Jericho, Lesnar, League of Nations, Undertaker, Reigns. The only booking sense the whole night was Charlotte, Baron Corbin, Kalisto and the Usos (lol).

Also fuck The Rock. He talked for about an hour. The show was like 19 hours long.

And just like the most recent Snyder film, it will draw big at first, but then the drop off afterwords will be noticeable. Raw tonight will draw a good number and then drop off into crap in a few weeks.
