10 Reasons Why WM 40 Looks Like Shit & Isn't Exciting

No.13852861 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
So there's this general vibe of Mania 40 feeling so underwhelming, wack buildup, and uninteresting card. But let's break it down:

1) No Brock Lesnar (biggest star of the past 10 years and he's cancelled)
2) No CM Punk in a match (not the biggest fan of his, but they signed his ass for a reason)
3) No Jade Cargill involvement (she's supposed to be their shiny new black female star)
4) No Credible Opponent For Gunther (Sami fucking sucks & if he wins, it will be a waste)
5) Dead Tag Team Division with very weak or irrelevant teams involved
6) Both Women's title matches this year are generally pathetic with zero hotties or cool characters (Iyo vs Bayley is dimeless, Rhea vs Becky might be okay but neither one are interesting on their own)
7) Theme music is purile shit featuring another garbage singer/rapper (no more badass rock songs or cool musicians)
8) No Dream Matches (Closest would've been Rock v Roman but pussies online cried too much...although they might save it for later)
9) Dime-A-Dozen (this mania doesn't stand out at all, especially from previous manias. What the hell is so special about it aside from the 4th decade milestone? Nothing. No retirement matches, no special guests, no kino moments, nothing.)
10) Disappointing buildup (no cool promos aside from some childish name calling, no insanely hyped blood feud, zero investment in any of these characters, meaningless segments leading up to the PPV that will be forgotten in a week)

This has been one of the worst WM seasons, and it is clearly a repetitive, smoke & mirrors company. If you took this year's card and placed it in any other time over the past 3-6 years, it would look interchangeable. Sad times to be a fan and there's no point in watching the PPV. Wrestlemania, in my opinion, started dying out when HBK retired, Undertaker lost the streak, and all the old stars started going away to be replaced by crappier wrestlers.
