Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 204

That was also the show (although it was the dark match) that War Machine made their debut and we thought War Raiders was the worst name ever. Simpler times

 

I just turned on SD in hopes that it would reignite my interest.

10 min in.
Nope....

 

I think one thing people aren’t realizing is how important the brand “Wrestlemania” is to Vince. He thinks and wants it to be perceived as indestructible.

 

it's just gonna not be good this year and putting the show on probably hurts the brand more than it helps it

SDL had its lowest numbers yet and I'm sure Raw, NXT, and AEW will suffer the same fate - the "appeal" of the empty arena shows is gone.

 

Yeah I’m not defending it, I think Vince’s ego just likes “we’re not being taken down like the rest of them”

 

It was gone for me after 10 minutes, it's really hard for me to watch

 

Yeah I have zero interest in mania

 

yeah i can tell, you haven't been talking about it at all

 

sorry had to

 

Very excited to see willy g duplex braun

 

haha well I'm absolutely interested in what's going on behind the scenes and whatnot but I won't be tuning in next weekend for it

 

stoked for the 'guys im so bored from quarantine that im actually gonna watch wrestlemania' post

 

im not bored

 

dan you havent even visited my island yet

 

Bro I have animal crossing - I don’t need anything else haha

 

Sorry Jersville has been a rager 24/7

 

I literally have no idea anymore who's gonna be on mania. SDL said it's gonna be a threeway ladder match between usos/mizmor/new day. But now it seems its gonna be morrison in a singles match??

 

are you

 

Did they tape the smackdown tag champ match yet?

 

God damn the Vice doc on Benoit was tough.

 

Even though I’m not the biggest fan of Broken Matt Hardy in this era, why are people complaining about the teleportation but they accept all the shit undertaker/Kane/bray did/do?

 

Also, you have an empty arena...take advantage of it by doing exactly that kind of stuff. The very worst parts of WWE shows (and even a little of the AEW ones) are where they pretend there is still a crowd and do crowd heat segments that are just awkward with silence (see: Any Baron Corbin segment)

 

Doubt that.

 

Ember vs Shayna was probably Shayna's best match of her entire run, too.
