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.

I think so too.
Even the NWO (which was supposed to feel ‘real’) storyline had plenty of comic book moments. Especially, once Sting went Crow. It was great nonetheless. Bring that type of storytelling back. [Reply]

It was and it was a great way to capitalize on just how ridiculous things are in general right now.
I just wouldn't have everything over the top when things go back to 'normal' but for now I would absolutely book a WM with matches in nothing but weird ass places over trying to play up for an invisible crowd in the performance center [Reply]
Actually the match made me think they could pull this off with sting and undertaker next Wrestlemania.
Have undertaker come out after couple matches next year right before mania and say I’ve done all I’ve come to do I talked it over with my wife it’s time to call it quits. The entire locker room comes out and congratulate him give him standing ovation then lights go out. Then one spot light searches the crowd. Voice comes on “ no deaman it’s not over you haven’t beaten me.” Spotlight spots sting in full makeup in rafters. “ that’s right undertaker you may be the phenom but I’m the ICon I challenge you for one last match at Wrestlemania “. Undertaker shakes his head leaves. AJ comes up to him says “ you gave me one hell of a match but wrestled sting he’s on another level don’t walk away without knowing if you could beat him”.
Weeks undertaker refuses week after week sting keeps egging him on. Undertaker is staring into mirror when sting is in mirror. “ You aren’t the only phenom I’m phenomenal too. Disapears in mirror.
Sting comes out to ring “. I thought Undertaker was a man I thought he was the badass I’ve heard for years. Really he’s scared to face me oh well I guess I’m done folks”. Then undertakers music hits neon lights do his symbol then his voice “ Icon we will see my answer is yes!”
The Styles Taker thing worked because it completely hid that Taker can't work anymore because he's so damn old, also with no live crowd you can do something like that without backlash.
Had they done that exact same match for a regular Mania everyone would have shit all over it. Making the live crowd that paid money for tickets watch a match on the video board pisses people off. [Reply]
