Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.
Right afterwards my thought was that it was a pretty good show. Maybe one of the better recent manias. After sleeping on it that's what I still think.
Match order was nearly perfect aside from just having too many. The right people won, which was unexpected. And aside from Roman and Drew the matches were all solid to good. Nothing classic outside of Kofi's win, and of course Hunter had to have the most time, but otherwise everything delivered.
So, collectively, a good mania.
But if they're gonna run towards 8 hours in the future, then somehow they need to do it over 2 days. [Reply]
I think it was far from ideal, but they also benefited from very low expectations heading in and the last good handful of WM's sucking.
They really need to change WM to a 2 day event or gut the fuck out of that roster. Too many people in matches simply because they want to get them the wm payday.
A lot of the matches were practically meaningless. [Reply]

They can shuffle Smackdown to Wednesday that week, HoF Thursday, Takeover Fri, Sat/Sun for WM. [Reply]
