So when WWE inducted black womens wrestling pioneer Ethel Johnson into the HoF Legacy Wing, they used footage of a completely different black woman wrestler that was 20 years off from Ethels career even

So I haven't seen it yet but the finish of O'Reilly versus Cole involved O'Reilly wrapping a chain around his knee and hitting a top rope knee drop to the back of Adam Cole's head into a steel chair.

Even they'll find some way to fuck it up.

Anyhow, the Unsanctioned Match was the perfect capper. I'm just pleased the RIGHT guy won.

CW Unification ticked a few boxes but when Mendoza's boys rolled in the writing was on the wall.

Imagine that both Women's Champions at last year's WM wouldn't be actively wrestling in this year's event.

At the very least, Becky has an excuse.

I do appreciate that the ME for night one is two young women of color after last year being two old men of bigotry.

Main Event definition is often multilayered these days.

Anyhow, doing the classic thing. So many managers back came with their props and would so anything to help their charge win and could draw heat just like that.

Steamboat/Savage for me on Mania week is like Die Hard for Me on Dec 24.

Anyone ever wonder the face wrestling had WM *not* been Vince's saving throw after the shitshow of Black Saturday?

I also get wistful when I watch certain events and think "Oh shit, they're all dead" (Savage/Warrior/Liz/Sherri at WM7 for one, ouch)

Agreed, cause let's look at our winners...

Cesaro - Immediately thought and hoped for a push due to being paired with Heyman. Instead we saw him drop matches to Owens and Miz while spending the next 6 years as a tag team specialist with Tyson Kidd, Sheamus, and Nakamura.

Big Show - Immediately written off a month later losing a Last Man Standing match to Reigns. Spent the last of his WWE career putting Strowman and Orton over.

Corbin - Floundered around the lower midcard until getting a pointless US title run in 2017 and then became a constant nuisance in 2018. Also jobbed to Jinder fucking Mahal in 4 seconds, who had just taken a Super Attitude Adjustment minutes earlier.

Mojo - LMAO. We watched him barely get TV time while the guy he eliminated to win the ARMBAR got a 6 month long WWE title run. Multi time 24/7 champion whose stock (what little he had in the first place) plummeted when Gronk went back to the NFL

Matt Hardy - Solely there to propel the team with Wyatt to new heights. And by that, I mean win tag titles that they dropped to the B Team in their first defense. A year later? Wyatt's getting the rocketship push while Matt's a doormat for Sullivan, McIntyre, and Orton.

Strowman - Within a year, he won a tag title, the IC title, and the Universal title. However, the IC title run made him look like an idiot, and the Universal title run only happened cause Roman went home.

They have a chance to right a huge wrong with Jey Uso. He's already the right hand man to the biggest heel on the roster, which helps a bit.

Starting with when they debuted in WWE...

Styles - 5 years, 4 months
Angle - 2 years, 11 months
Reigns - 5 years
Rollins - 5 years, 5 months
Ambrose - 4 years, 9 months
Eddie - 4 years

The longest ones are...

Mysterio - 16 years, 10 months
Jericho* - 17 years, 5 months
Jeff Hardy* - Technically 24 years if you count his televised matches as a jobber in 1994. But even if you go with just his and Matt's 1998 debuts, it's still 20 years

* - Only for the modern grand slam. Jericho only needed 2 years for the classic and Jeff needed 10 (or 14)

Though I personally was expecting Wyatt to quickly destroy Orton in less than 4, but whatever. Hopefully, more people start to realize how overrated Wyatt actually is.

Mania.. Night 1 was clearly the better one but Night 2's main event may edge (no pun intended) it out even with the finish.

Mercifully Orton/Fiend wrapped up quickly.

You couldn't expect Orton to take it and take it and take it for months w/o getting the W did you?
