Could you imagine if at WM1 they had multiple guys that wrestled in 1960 on the show?

(They didn’t, right?)

Nah, closest thing to it is Bruno playing the involved corner man for his low-talent son, so basically playing this year's Rey Mysterio role. But obviously Rey was actually an active match participant and Bruno wasn't.

Iron Sheik would have been old enough since he was 18 in 1960, but he wasn't wrestling at age 18.

I don't really get this match. Maybe the crowd doesn't either. I didn't get the promo video explaining Edge's heel turn. And I don't get the booking of the match, either.

Wasn't Edge (or Styles?) supposed to go to some 'dark place' or whatever? They kept saying something about AJ 'apologizing' to the wwe universe for what he was going to do or something.

This has been a pretty classic wrasslin match.

Tough for a crowd to get too invested yet, since WWE has outright trained them to understand that nothing really matters until after a couple of finisher kickouts.

That was super boring for me. And apparently lots of other people.

They threw a quick pinfall in there to balance against LKJs theorem.

By the way, one thing worth complimenting is this crowd. Very low meme-chant participation rate. They finally got a stupid "this is awesome" going during something non-awesome earlier, but they've been very decently hot without being annoying.

Good thing we cut the match short so that we could watch these two replays from last night.

"Who will hit their finisher first?"
"Yeah, yeah, but who will win the match?"

Well guys, those two are supposed to be the same goddamn question, aren't they now?

I've only watched McAfee work one match lifetime, was in NXT. Was a wargames match I think maybe?

Anyway, I thought he was really impressive. I'm expecting him to take this pretty seriously.

This match will be fine.

I don't suppose they ever explained why we were supposed to care about the punter's lifelong dream?
