The Pistons don't flop.
They don't foul-bait.
They don't throw their head backwards, flail their arms, fall to the ground on the slightest contact.
The don't kick their legs forward on jump shots.
And the Pistons are actively punished for not doing those things.
Incredible.
It baffles me that these two worked so hard to have good US Title runs, got cut from WM & don't even make it onto television now.
Incompetent booking.
I hope Roman vs Punk opened creatives eyes to the fact that it’s okay to have your top guys lose clean and it’s okay to have a match just literally centered around professional wrestling. The fact people were actually SURPRISED it was a straight up wrestling match is a problem
no backstage segments, no pre match video packages, no elaborate stage set up, sub 10 minute matches, commercials on commercials, ads all over the canvas… this isn’t the wrestlemania i grew up loving.
Sorry I can’t hang out next week, I’ve got plans. The plans:
Monday: Raw
Tuesday: NXT
Wednesday: Dynamite
Thursday: Impact
Friday: SmackDown/WWE Hall of Fame
Saturday: WrestleMania Night 1
Sunday: WrestleMania Night 2
