https://puck.news/the-art-of-aris-wwe-deal/ The Endeavor deal was done late Saturday while everyone was around for Mania. It was close between them and Liberty Media (the owners of F1 racing)quote:The pair outlined their proposal during a meeting with WWE chairman Vince McMahon and C.E.O. Nick Khan at Raine Group offices, in New York, in mid-March, sources involved with the deal told me, and made a more emotional pitch one week later at WWE headquarters in Stamford. Still, they faced stiff competition from at least one rival bidder—John Malone’s Liberty Media, the owner of Formula One—until the very end, and it wasn’t until Saturday night that they signed the term sheet. As Shapiro described it, “it was nip and tuck all the way.”

I keep seeing people say the entirety of Wrestlemania was bad as if it didn’t contain one of the best tag title matches of all time most people here wanted Cody to lose so I just don’t get the negativity on the show. I enjoyed it much more than any mania since 30.

Wanting him to lose because it would be really really funny (and it was) doesn’t mean it also wouldn’t have been pretty cool if he won and got to do the thing he said he wanted to do, imo.

Most of it was v good but maybe I’m getting old and as I only watch the rumble and mania but has the entire duration of the broadcast always been one third adverts/commercials?

The production was a lot more tolerable than the last time I paid attention too, in terms of the camerawork and commentary. But I’m guessing both will go back to being so terrible it makes the whole thing unwatchable again now Vince is backs

We just embraced the ridiculousness of the possibility of it, because how else can you cope with WWE these days? Just like how we're trying to make chicken soup out of the chicken poop that one of the worst human beings on this earth continuing to win at life for no good reason. Also: The rubber chicken is actually Uncle Howdy getting involved in Wrestlemania one way or another.

emf you may have seen my various posts bow wowing for the big dog but i was operating under the assumption at that time that they PROBABLY wouldnt do literally the dumbest and most cynical thing they could possibly do

I assumed it because, while also being the funniest option, historically it's the safest bet to make regarding the company's booking Bryan at Mania 30 was the outlier even at the time, let alone ever since

Not only am I confident they will always make the most cynical decision I was rooting for this one because it would be more objectively funny than the usual

Eh, generally in the past they would let the babyface win at Mania even if they didn't see them as the top guy. They would just cut the feet out from under them with bad post mania programs that made sure they didn't get over. Going with the heel winning really has been a post Mania 30 thing

In retrospect, it is pretty funny that the Endeavor deal was signed after Night 1. The whole shift in tone and reception doesn't feel coincidental.Answers Me posted:The production was a lot more tolerable than the last time I paid attention too, in terms of the camerawork and commentary. But I’m guessing both will go back to being so terrible it makes the whole thing unwatchable again now Vince is backs I also noticed that the camerawork/direction was reasonably competent throughout; there were a few egregious miscues and they only got into "Let's try to trigger the epileptics in the audience" quick cutting during big exchanges...and that, again, it seemed notably worse on Sunday. (Most egregious I could think of was switching cameras on every chop when Sheamus had Drew in the ropes - there was that great angle where the action was foregrounded in the bottom left corner and the stadium/fans took up the rest the screen; it gave a sense of the scale of the stadium and you could see the crowd cheering and counting along on each hit. It was a fantastic shot, so of course they cut to it and promptly away from it every 3 seconds.)

Please let the Endeavor brass start meddling once the KSA money stops and their TV deals get nerfed. (Somehow neither will because we live in hellworld where Vince can only fail upwards)

WrestleMania 40 is going to be in Philadelphia. That means that the Raw after needs to begin with Bruce Springsteen walking out to remind the crowd, "Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night..."
