Did they not telegraph it this time with stereotypically British stage decorations like the parked vintage taxi and double decker bus and whatnot?

Does WrestleMania sell-out? I was listening to a podcast recently where they suggested it doesn't quite. Like, it obviously does huge business, but you can still get tickets on the day. This surprised me.

It's going to be interesting when people "get over" attending Mania and they do have to start worrying about hooking people beyond the branding again.

But yeah, you're right. I've been critical of the product forever, and I've been a lapsed fan for quite a while. I'm not surprised that interest is lower, but just that it is this low. Usually there are a few more people feigning an interest or forcing themselves to watch. Obviously this is just in the TPWW microcosm, but interest seems to be dying everywhere.

It'll just be a few takedowns, Shane doing some shitty punches, Angle barely moving out of the way of an elbow through a table, a belly-to-belly on the outside, Shane kicking out of an Angle Slam, Angle pulling down the straps, Shane countering another Angle Slam and then either Shane or Kurt winning with either Coast-to-Coast or the Ankle Lock.

Why is Drake Maverick even managing AOP, why am I supposed to care as a viewer?

One of the benefits of NXT is when someone wins a title it feels like the accomplishment of a journey they've been on.

AOP winning the belts felt like an afterthought in the (thus far) dull Seth/Dean feud.

It came across as desperately trying to get them relevant. Let their dominance, week in and week out, make them relevant.

I ask myself the same questions whenever I see AOP.

Drake Maverick looks absolutely ridiculous when he's next to AOP and I just can't take AOP seriously when he's with them. The three of them together look like a comedy team but act incredibly serious and threatening.

When AOP got called up to the main roster, I was slightly interested in them but as soon as Drake Maverick appeared with them, I just stopped caring.

I don't get why Vince & Co. just didn't have AOP beat The B-Team for their titles.

It would have made much more sense than them dropping their titles to Ziggler & McIntyre and then Ziggler & McIntyre dropping them to Rollins & Ambrose.

Those two teams brought absolutely nothing to the division and actually made the division and the titles more of an afterthought.

With The B-Team as champions, people actually cared about the titles and the Tag Team Division (or at least it seemed that way) but instead, we get two transitional champions one after another as they were only champions as a way to make them either "more legit" (which kinda failed in my opinion) or to further an angle between the two champions.

If AOP defeated The B-Team for the titles, it would have given AOP more heat for taking the titles from a team of "lovable losers" like The B-Team.

The problem with Wrestlemania is the fact of everything in between. The entire weekend is a grind. 3+ hour NXT PPV, 7+ hour mania, 3+ hour Raw, 2+ hour SD and possibly more NXT tapings. Let's call a spade a spade. Unless there is some once in a life time match (HBK versus AJ or HBK versus Rock this year would force me to drive from Michigan to NY to see it) the only people that go to Mania are the diehards and the general population. NXT is must see action. The Raw after is the best Raw of the year because its arguably all the cheap ass fan boys that didn't want to pay for the PPV and because there is always some sick angle that takes place. The SD after is usually reserved for a big debut from NXT or a major event.

Mania is just....a wrestling show that is the same old stuff from the past year.

Don't feel it with The AOP either. I'd rather the belts went to Roode & Gable. At least they are babyfaces to against The Bar. You can always do the Roode turn on Gable later. I wonder if Jason Jordan is going to be medically cleared to come back and save his buddy from a Beer Money beat-down?
