I wrote about this in my newsletter. The Weather Service didn't launch balloons recently and got surprised by tornadoes in Kansas. DOGE cuts at NWS cut out weather balloon launches which gather data for storm prediction. You are less safe because of that choice.
Mania weekend is one of those weekends I think I have it out with the IWC the most.
Perception is reality. I think if you go into an event expecting it to suck? It’ll be just that.
My core group of friends liked Night 1 of WrestleMania! To the point where we were asking if the IWC even saw the same event we did. Doesn’t have to mean we feel it was a 5 star event. But it damn sure wasn’t as bad as some of the comments I’ve seen.
Mainly the main event. I feel so many are just like “ah I hated that” as opposed to me who’s more curious about what it all meant. To me? It was kind of obvious somewhere along the way that Orton flipped to working baby and Cody was working as a heel. But seemingly the end they kind of switched back?
Mainly? Whether it’s WrestleMania, ALL IN, Wrestle Kingdom? I think sometimes it’s just nice to not have to be critical and enjoy the spectacle.
