Monday Night Open Mic

Howdy Blog O’Doomers!

Well Wrestlemania 32 was….underwhelming? Given my current situation I only caught most of the first match and the end of the last match. I think we all, as bad as the card seemed, had some hopes that these guys would pull out all the stops to surpass expectations and they didn’t.

Maybe that’s on us for expecting too much out of this completely depleted roster. Not everything was bad I suppose (and I’m going off of reading reviews). For Zack Ryder last night was probably the best night he’s ever had in the business. It probably made all these recent years of trolling around on Main Event and Superstars worth it. And giving Baron Corbin an opportunity to start his main roster time with a win at Wrestlemania is a big deal. This is the thing, as disappointing as the event may have been to fans it still holds that magical aura to the workers. A lot of us were pissed when Rusev lost to Cena last year but he made his entrance in a fucking TANK! That was crazy. Even if the promotion forgets about it it’s something he’ll probably never forget. So I always try to look at Wrestlemania from my perspective as a demanding fan but also from the perspective of the guys there, many of whom grew up as fans and dreamed of just having a spot on the card be it main event or otherwise. That way even when I look at the bad Wrestlemanias (and this one will probably be up there with some of the most disappointing) there is some good that comes from them.

Anyway it’s the Raw after Wrestlemania so even if nothing happens the crowd is going to be ridiculous.

Enjoy!
