Charles in the WCW-style ref outfit.

But why?

There hasn't been a non sports entertainment wrestling match since refs dressed like that

Randy doing a headlock with his legs, already the greatest wrestling match ever

I actually can't believe that they went all in on the "greatest wrestling match ever" thing and emphasized that over and over again and actually just sent them out there to have a wrestling match and not just get DQ'd by ball kick immediately or something. I was 100% expecting it to be a bait and switch done for lol's.

They were in a position to have people go "Wow Randy and Edge put on a pretty solid match" and decided to go with "Do not stop calling it the best match of all time before it happens"

Vince was irate that NJPW and AEW were coming up when you googled "greatest wrestling match ever" and so here we are: a PPV built around SEO

One theory is this was supposed to be in Saudi Arabia where they have Greatest Royal Rumble, Greatest Tag Team, Best In the World, etc

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
they do camera cuts every 3 loving seconds and zoom in randomly and make you lose trakc of where the gently caress anybody is in the ring but they kept the shot of orton clearly blading up for 10 consecutive seconds i'm dying

6 camera angles and I was utterly bewildered as to what was happening, but with the 7th suddenly the entire picture was made clear to me and I realized,"Oh, it's a headlock!"
