General Wrestling Discussion

Muta's getting pretty old but it was still fun.

In other wrestling on Friday
CMLL
Kraneo (a really big guy with a mini) vs Hechicero (BDSM Wizard) in a one-on-one match. Kraneo's not very young either, and he's pretty fat too. I thought it was fun. Has some great mini abuse.
 
Agreed with you guys about RAW 25 tonight. This is the first RAW I tuned into and was confused as to why it the show was split by two arenas. I can understand why the Manhattan Center was used but they should have used the Manhattan Center as RAW's version of "WrestleMania Axxess" This way fans could see what the old WWF RAW stage set-up looked like, maybe show some NXT style matches there, then surprise everyone by bringing in old school talent who could hype up the crowd.

This way most of the show would be your typical house show. But the big difference would be the return of stars like DX and the Undertaker, who's promos will air on tape later that same night. And I still don't like the idea of only having legends like the Undertaker not appearing at the main arena. It feels like WWE wasted an opportunity to use him properly for RAW 25.

The 25th anniversary show so epitomized what is wrong with WWE. Banking too hard on nostalgia, not using their time or talent effectively, and having nothing interesting or exciting in the future.

The 25th anniversary show so epitomized what is wrong with WWE. Banking too hard on nostalgia, not using their time or talent effectively, and having nothing interesting or exciting in the future.

Here's the thing. I came into the 25th Anniversary expecting an emphasis on nostalgia more than anything else and they managed to fail hard at it. You know what I genuinely, unironically loved? The Gimmick Battle Royale. It wasn't a good match by any stretch of the imagination, but it didn't need to be. It just felt good to see old timers come out, make their entrance and remind you of old times. It felt like a celebration of the past.

In this Anniversary, a few people came out, waved, then left. Some were regulated to cameos but nothing more. It didn't feel like a celebration as much as filling in a quota.
