No Muscles For The Majority
WM30 was the first WWE show I'd watched in like 7 years, and it seemed weird that hitting a guy with a chair and getting disqualified would mean somebody had become Darth Vader. Like, Cena has thrown metal stairs at people and thrown them through tables and poo poo. I didn't get it at all. Also he just hit some other guy with the chair anyways. Something something "this is MY LEGACY LEGACY LEGACY" and it was stupid.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

How did you feel seeing a Hell in a Cell match end via DQ due to hammer shot where earlier in that same match a larger hammer was used to no ref reaction?

By that point I'd learned my lesson and had stopped watching.

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
I sort of enjoyed Cena-Fiend but it was 4am, I was watching with friends on Discord, I was very tired and very drunk so it probably was more just how bizarre it was clicking at that point plus getting to laugh about it with pals. If I was sober and watching alone I probably wouldn't have liked it.

It's the second-to-last WWE match I've ever seen (the last being the one that followed), and honestly, I actually really enjoyed it in a deconstructivist way.

Although, I have to admit that my first thought after the match was to wonder how, in kayfabe, John Cena got home after WrestleMania 36.

I hope that he's a surprise entrant at this year's Rumble, where once the countdown timer ends, a really distorted version of his theme song plays, the lights go out, and then when they're back on, there's a bewildered and confused John Cena in the ring.

Yeah, I enjoy listening to OSW Review, but those dudes are basically stuck in the 90s most of the time, especially regarding wrestling spots, music, and racist jokes about Tatanka

V1 is the most... eh, old school I guess of the three. He likes psychology and the older style of working more than the other two. OOC is a big fan of spotfests and Jay kind of rides the line between them.

Maybe the worst analysis in the world is to accept this at face value instead of realizing this means people see watching WWE as a hassle not worth the time to download a new app.

No less than D-Von and JR have added their voices to the 'wrestlers today aren't tough enough' chorus. Now I imagine JR going backstage at AEW and grimly musing on how nobody is coked up and fighting in bars. He kisses the small picture of Dr. Death he keeps around his neck and sheds a single tear.
