This weekend was, by pretty much any definition, a top tier WrestleMania. Even if you put aside the attendance numbers and the viewership numbers which were great, the actual product WWE put out was really freakin’ good too. I had to expand my list of best WrestleMania 39 matches from 5 to 10 because there were just so many good ones. I was on an absolute high yesterday as I flew back from WrestleMania. Then I landed, watched the super mediocre Raw After WrestleMania show and then went online to see story after story about how Vince McMahon and his new mustache were allegedly tearing up scripts and rewriting segments even while the show was going on.
Wrestling fans are, of course, freaking out. That’s what wrestling fans do, sometimes for good reasons and sometimes because we’re excitable people that freak out. Big reactions are in our nature. But where does the truth lie here? Is everyone overreacting? Is this a really big deal? Let’s talk it out.
