Yeah it’s always funny to me that wwe never seemingly has set cards. They just roll the cameras and wait for things to happen.

If you think about it entirely in-kayfabe, WWE is a wrestling company that rents out massive stadiums, sells tickets to the public, sets up live camera feeds, and then just kinda hopes enough wrestlers show up at the arena and happen to be mad enough at each other to demand fights right then and there to fill up 2 to 3 hours of tv time.

it's such a de-escalation of intensity to go from brawl to match

we hate each other so much that'll we go from unstructured free violence to this very structured and rules bound sporting competition

one of Lance Storm's best takes ever is the observation that WWE is a TV show set in a wrestling company and AEW is a wrestling company with a TV show

The combined genius of Cody Rhodes and The Wise Man is going to make this one special Road To WrestleMania. Keep your eyes peeled and your ears alert for some amazing nuance. The TranquiloClubYT vid will be required viewing.

I looked up the ages of some of the people that are (mostly) gonna be at wrestlemania and wow, the roster's aging

Bray's 35, Roman, the Usos, and Cody are 37, Sami and Kevin are 38, Brock's 45, and Lashley's 46

Roman sucks at promos and Cody would absolutely murder him on the mic.

Plus Roman's a part-timer anyway and isn't around so.
