Strange. Was expecting the gauntlet to "kickoff" the show.

You had all the time in the world to talk your way out of that stupid storyline, Miz.
Nobody's fault but your own. |

Has it been 13 years?
Another reminder we're getting old. |

Also, another reminder of all the years spent by the company spinning wheels while they focus on Cena or putting over Attitude Era or earlier stars in perpetuity.
I remember once upon a time, there were a few "nothing" matches between Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston. I still consider them fucking great, and they're things that got lost in the shuffle to time. And that's a shame. With proper effort and maintainence over some of the last several years, those two should be main event legends by now in a "who was the better multi-time champion to tear the goddamn house down" match in the spot on Mania where Bats and Hunter are now. Instead, one guy is "on hiatus", and the other is just now getting a main event push. I say that to say Miz has been there through all that, and it's easy to forget about him, too. Say what you want, but he worked out as a talent way better overall than he ever should have. And it is very simple to overlook the fact that he was brought in pretty much because of his reality TV crossover appeal and has been around through a lot of pushes, depushes, hirings, firings, "firings", and forced retirements of people both more and less talented than he is, and done okay for himself in the long run. And Miz has done so in spite of working for a company continually trying to charge headlong into finding a new Hogan/Austin/Rock, while simultaneously more or less saying without saying (or sometimes actually saying) that nobody will ever be as good as they were. |

Pretty good promo by Miz. He might actually end up being interesting as a face unlike past times.

I just want to add how historic and monumental this moment is in the evolution of the women's division. Can't wait for the Boss 'N' Hug and IIconics to cry and share a hug once the match concludes.

They're basically pushing this Lacey Evans thing to the point that when she actually wrestles, whether she's heel or face, she'll get X-Pac heat for her entire career. So basically they're being WWE.

TheThats the thing I want to care about them but how can I if they just lose while being Champions( and that team name being the stupidest f****** thing ever) the other thing is I completely agree I want them to split up and kill each other I want Bailey to become the snarling Eddie Guerrero-esque Psychopath she was meant to play

Side note to that, a tiny detail they repeatedly drop the ball on is the music. Like, can a team or a group get a different song collectively than the individual sum of its parts? I am a big critic of "twinsy" tag teams, whose whole identity is being wrapped up in being one of two that are hard to tell apart, but on the other end of the spectrum is a team that are literally just two individuals, and can even barely be assed to have on the same color schemed attire. There is a very achievable middle ground here. Instead of S and B using cropped parts of their songs, get a song for the duo that isn't the same thing. They were *kinda* doing that for Sanity (there is the generic group theme, and then there are specialized mixes that are notably different for Killian Dane and Nikki Cross), not that anyone would know because they all just fell off the fucking world. Or when they tried to just keep everything that was over about The Shield on Roman Reigns instead of making solo songs for all three men. People would be going apeshit at the song now on this "final" reunion... but some of the reaction is ruined because it is just basically Roman's theme now. Just another one of those little touches that make a bigger difference than you would think, but WWE can't be assed to do consistently. |
