Even though the finals don't happen for several weeks, WWE did film the Intercontinental Title tournament finals on the May 26 tapings. We're told that the match was "unbelievable" and legitimately pumped up a very tired NXT PC crowd that was there to cheer. WWE has done this with a couple of the bigger matches that they have planned

Wait till they see Edge/Orton.

I think this is really working because both he and Mandy are looking like they're having fun. Like, outside of them it really only seems like Asuka, McIntyre, Bryan, and Bayley are enjoying themselves.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
The stuff Vince has talked about in his upbringing is wild but also I don't know how much is real and how much is a work because Wrestling.

Based on her interview with WOR recently I got the impression they got on for years but he was upset over something to do with making more of Owen's wrestling work available for viewing? Whatever the case, she seemed to be pushing hard that she held no animosity towards him or even the rest of the Hart Family. Somebody who actually knows more details please chime in because I really don't know much of the deeper details of any feud that might have happened post Owen's death/the lawsuit.

It could be The Second Greatest Wrestling Match Ever

Would be so funny if this woulda been on the Backlash card, unless it woulda been worse from the agents saying to dial it back.

I don't get the branding at all.

The greatest wrestling match I've ever seen live was Okada/Omega 1. I know it was because I turned off my phone before that show and after it ended I said "That was the greatest match i've ever seen in 25 years" and then I turned my phone on and saw thousands of people echoing that sentiment. I had hype going in but no more than any other big match of my life time.

But if I had gone into it watching "the greatest wrestling match ever" I would likely have been harder on it, it's just kind of some humans nature to want to find flaws in perfection so them branding their show this way just seems like a bad idea when half the fan base is snarky/ironically watching/ or just love to hate it already, like why attract more of that attention. But I understand not what they do I just watch.

Can't wait to hear about how Edge and Orton had a bog standard WWE match that lasted too long and had Michael Cole talking in hushed tones about what a historic match it was.

If they did all this promotion and then had Edge just punt Orton in the dick immediately I would give it 5 stars.

Look at the adjective.

On a completely unrelated note:

One real-life couple that Vince hasn't tried to gently caress with is Zelina Vega and Aleister Black. Why is this? Is it neither is high enough on the card for him to care? Or, as I suspect is it because he is foreign and she is "ethnic", so Vince doesn't want to gently caress either of them?
Same question with Naomi and Jimmy Uso. And those two are married, which means Vince would usually want to break them up even more.

It got overshadowed by stuff like the HBK matches, but Edge's feud with Undertaker leading to their Wrestlemania match was fantastic.

You just answered your own question in regards to both of these women. In fact, the only non-bleached-blonde I can ever remember Vince ever acting like he was attracted to was the time he told Melina she had beautiful eyes, and that was like 12-15 years ago.

Edge built that feud almost entirely by himself. As I remember Undertaker was barely on TV, if at all. And Edge managed to put over how scared he was of The Undertaker, how formidable an opponent he was going to be, but how he was going to be ready and how he felt he was good enough.

And the best part was each promo built on the previous weeks promo and was different but still moved the feud forward. All without any input from his opponent.
