Game 7s as a neutral fan

[Ibou, of Self Made @BackupHangman]

They sought mainstream coverage and acceptance. Mainstream outlets are burying the show. They do things believing it’ll attract extra casual eyeballs. Casuals on IG, TikTok, Twitter thought the show sucked.

The truth is it’s entertainment for nobody except soulless content creators that attend the event as a show of status. And media partners.

Stephen A has to sit there and pretend to know and care about pro wrestling while his alleged favorite team was playing a playoff game. Remember this when he makes severe, declarative takes on First Take about the NBA playoffs.

It’s a 4 hour ad grab. They’ve even forgone video packages in the name of more ads. They know the audience is a bunch of suckers. You have WWE fans paying $40 to watch this event and defending commercials, you can’t help these people.

WWE has always been about the pomp and circumstance, the pageantry, the theatrics, but it always did its brand of entertainment within the confines of a wrestling promotion. At present, it has never ever felt like less of a wrestling promotion.

I don’t say this because it brings me joy to say, I’m a big fan of numerous talents on the roster. I say it, because it is so blatantly the truth now, and there’s no revoking of access that any company can dangle over me that’ll discourage me from being honest.

Not only is it not actually for the casuals or the hardcores, it’s not even for the wrestlers themselves. I actually feel bad for the talent who still dream of getting their big wrestlemania stage appearance and match. The people on that undercard were background actors. Outside of your top guys, the stars of the show were Hulk Hogan, Wheatley’s American Vodka, RAM Trucks, Minute Maid, and Fanatics.

It’s not going to get better. The people that run this operation are all focused on preserving their backs and making sure the money continues to roll in at the same rate and they’ll do whatever they need to get there, even if it means an extra ad where video packages used to be. Ads where a charming backstage segment used to be.

It’s not for you or me, it’s a ruse. The undercard talent only get to have actual matches on the TVs and the big show hits you over the head that the TV doesn’t actually matter. You’re insulted for caring and paying attention because the TV stories are incongruous with the things that happen on the big show.

In past bad eras of WWE, it was bad wrestling produced by wrestling minds. This is something entirely different. To describe it as a facsimile of wrestling would be too charitable to its proximity to pro wrestling. It is a dystopian, synthetic, cynical, corporatized, vaguely similar recreation of a sports entertainment product and it’s produced by businessmen that’ll free their hands of it and dump it off to the next sucker that’ll buy it the first chance they get.

All I am going to say on this is I’ve watched a lot of Windsor Spitfires and Greentree is going to be good.

the Lions sacrificing their playoff run to whatever diety makes it so only 2 Detroit teams are contenders at any one time so the Red Wings can be good again.

John Cena graduated high school, played college football, became a bodybuilder, joined the WWE, became the top star in the company, went to Hollywood, and retired from WWE after a 23-year career…

all before the Cowboys made it back to an NFC Championship Game.

This might sound corny but I am extremely grateful for the role that Little Caesar’s has played in my life.

I grew up with a single mom and there was never food in the house.

She waited tables at a Mexican place called El Leoncito and was always working during dinner.

My daily tradition was to stop by and grab a hot n ready on the way home from wrestling practice.

Down War Eagle Blvd and then a right on Dairy Road. Titusville, Florida.

I’d flip open the AC vents of my 1990 Grand Cherokee, put that sucker on full blast and point it at the open box of pizza. It was always hot. Always ready.

By the time I pulled into my driveway it was cool enough to eat. I’d eat the whole thing before going inside.

In college I worked at the Tuscaloosa County jail, 7pm to 7am shift. I needed the job for the health insurance. We were 23 and pregnant.

I’d stop by Little Caesar’s on 15th street on the way to my shift and devour the whole thing as I drove.

Today, we can afford better pizza, but we still buy LCs about once a month. It tastes the exact same. That same pizza is only $6.99, and was still $5 until about 3 years ago.

What an example of a great company doing a great public good. I don’t know where I’d be without them.

Certainly a $5 footlong never came close to filling me up…
