You don't plan "try it, stumble, try it again, stumble, fall, try it again, fall right over, quickly let go and Superman punch" on purpose.

That show was worlds better than last year and other than Orton/Wyatt I don't think it was particularly badly booked but goddamn that ending was terrible and depressing.

Randy Orton's master plan that took months of deception to work his way into Wyatt's inner circle, was to RKO him.

I wonder if he was supposed to lift Taker up when he had him in the submission move and he bitched out.

Broken. There was already a short Twitter video making the rounds of Matt and Jeff doing the broken schtick post-match.

If Brock/Goldberg went on directly after Seth/HHH, then the show ended, that would have been a top five mania.

I don't think its reasonable to compare it a mania that is in the running for Worst Ever. I do think its reasonable to compare it to Mania 31. 31 was one of the worst builds to Mania in memory and by using the specialness of the event, the talent of the performers and some outstandingly smart booking decisions they overcame the handicap they came in with and left everyone happy and excited for the future. Mania 33 took a build that was very hit and miss, full of questionable decisions that led to a situation where people thought this show could go either way, and utterly failed.

31 made every decision right to save a trainwreck, while 33 made every decision wrong to turn a possible success into something that is totally disappointing and deflating despite an earnest effort from the performers.
