WWE does really well when you take away their freedom a little bit. When they have to be good, they are better at being good than just about anyone in 30 years. They just don't give a shit about that when they're the only game in town. Vince wants to get his movie studio and football leagues up and running.
But that brings eyeballs to his company, which means he's got to keep it at least strong. And I think these big TV deals mean that he can pay talent he wants to stay, which means he can actually make them stars without fear of them running away to Hollywood or the UFC. Plus, most of them are signed for five years anyway. I predicted this last year: 2020 would be an surprisingly good year for the WWE creatively, their best since 2000, just because they can afford it and there will be enough external pressure on them to be good because of the XFL and dropping metrics. The Royal Rumble was the best booked Rumble, possibly ever, but definitely since 2001 and further back since 1992. Maybe things would be different if they only had one night, but the pressures on this WrestleMania means they're thinking "Shit, we've got to make this look as good as possible." |

Watched the Ladder Match. Holy shit John Morrison is a fucking star and still so fucking good. I remember really loving him towards the end of his last WWE run. My only complaint was that he was so fucking cool during the match that it's just counterproductive for a heel, but then they pulled off that ending. Morrison looks slimy and lucky to be alive. Great fucking shit! Tag teams matter on SmackDown.

Instead of the "Too Big For One Night" tag line, this Mania should have had been subtitled "Heavy Breathing Spectacular" instead.
One of the big downsides to these empty arena shows is stuff like that becoming very annoying to listen after a while. |

Byron Saxton has never been an amazing commentator or anything, but I always appreciate his exuberance and outfits come WrestleMania time. I wish more of that Saxton was allowed out to play. Just a guy with zany suits, never really made it as a wrestler, but understands what is going on and just loves this shit. Of all the guys they try to jam into the "smart black man -- look, we've got 'em" role, Saxton is the only guy who even remotely feels like he's up to a professional standard of any sort.

Expecting Triple H to suddenly show up at any minute yelling at both guys to knock it off with making a big mess and trying to break things.
Also have that same type of office chair in my room minus the circle part at the base. |

He doesn't do "drama" well. That was what they tried with him when Brock Lesnar F5'd Michael Cole out of his shoe that time. Just let the guy be a wrestling announcer. You don't need the hushed tones. Edge is medically cleared. He's a bad-ass. They've signed up for a fight, call the fucking fight.

They overthink this shit and get too cute. JR would just be all "Orton plastering Edge with the weapon right there..." Wouldn't be all sad for Edge.

Cornette said it well about ecw, "used to be they were hitting people with furniture, now theyre hitting furniture with people". This match summed up.
