Something different. Talking Pro Wrestling for a second. I don't know how many of you guys are fellow wrestling fans out there, but I've really gotta let this out for a moment as a lifelong WWE fan.
It's Wrestlemania weekend which is supposed to be the absolute pinnacle of the WWE calendar year. The biggest stage, the biggest matches and the conclusion to everything that was built in the last year.
And for even more context, the way I have presented the School Idol Festival in my story as a grand spectacle event was inspired by Wrestlemania.
I'm upset as to how poor this show has been. An event known for past legendary 30+ mins matches has been reduced to 8 mins per match in which nothing differentiates them from the matches we see weekly on RAW and Smackdown.
Only to now introduce commercial breaks after each match which then end and throw us into even MORE commercials from WWE themselves and always panning the camera to their celebrity friends in the crowd. The crowd btw who paid up to $16,000 for tickets to attend and watch this.
4 hour show, with close to an hour combined of wrestling so far (before the last match of Night 1). They haven't even given us video packages to build the hype for each match (except the last). And they're speedrunning through the show like they don't even want to be there, focusing more on entrances than wrestling.
Right now, I don't recommend beginning watching this. Don't waste your time. AEW (the alternative) isn't all that great either than what it should be. Both companies are at a low point.
It's fine to like the current shows, matter of opinion after all. But to me it's become soulless.
Now, with that out of the way, we return to our regularly scheduled broadcast, expect a new Love Live SHATTER chapter soon. As we continue our road to the School Idol Festival.
