If you aren't ready for Wrestlemania after these incredible Sami Zayn segments and Stephanie McMahon setting up for some incredible women's matches, then well, you might need to re-evaluate your commitment to the WWE and wrestling as a whole.

Good point, maybe I'll just play Mass Effect and watch Baseball

Triple H hasn't even fostered any talent. Everyone who's been successful post NXT was already good when they got there besides maybe Charlotte.

Baron Corbin, Bray Wyatt, American Alpha, Sasha, Bayley, Enzo and Cass, Rusev, Corey Graves (slightly different situation but still relevant I think), Alexa Bliss...am I forgetting anyone? I feel like I'm forgetting someone.

Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaun

Also there are a bunch of NXT wrestlers that are pretty good or not bad with little indy XP

I didn't count Braun because he like never wrestled down there and I didn't count anyone who hasn't been called up.

I did figure out that I forgot Becky, though.

It probably doesn't really mean anything but Wyatt/Orton has top billing on that and the rest of the card falls about where I would expect it to 🤔

The opening bit of this article is so insufferable I almost didn't make it to the actual good part.

Yeah, house shows make a ton of money because they sell a lot of merch, get the gate (of course), and have almost no production costs

'my sister-in-laws boyfriend' is not technically family.

"my-sister-in-law's very long term boyfriend that we also live with sometimes" is actually a great definition of "technically family," as if they were married there wouldn't be any technicalities.

on one hand i am glad the smackdown ladies get their time on the real wrestlemania and not the preshow

on the other hand i'm worried it will happen after the inevitable fatigue and/or annoyance sets in and i stop watching

It seems to be the second match on the main card. I believe in you friend, you can make it that far.

Did The Rock show up again to wank himself off in ring for 20+ minutes?

No!

If you skip the Women's matches and Bray/Orton you'll probably enjoy the show quite a bit. I watched those matches and still did, though! I didn't think Roman/Taker was that bad outside of an incredibly bad botch and a poorly booked finishing sequence, though some people think it was the worst match in history so ymmv.
