Ed’s Perspective: Wrestlemania XXX Now Has The Chance To Be Monumental Thanks To The #YesMovement
Flash back to January 26th – you know the night well. The 2014 Royal Rumble with the winner going on to headline Wrestlemania XXX. Now picture this soundbite in your mind.
And the winner of the Royal Rumble – BATISTA!!!!
That makes it Randy Orton vs. Batista HEADLINING THE SUPERBOWL OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING?????. No, the cap lock didn’t stick – I was yelling at the preposterous idea of having such a lame match headlining what should be a historic event. I mean this the 30th Anniversary of where PPV Wrestling originated and they are giving us Orton vs Batista???
Now flash forward to March 10th on RAW. The #YesMovement, along with the most over Superstar in the WWE, Daniel Bryan takes over the ring and surrounding area, and The Authority makes their arrival. Before Bryan hands the show back over to Mr. and Mrs. The Game, he has his Wrestlemania match verse Triple H AND if he wins = the main event that night becomes a Triple Threat Match with Bryan joining Orton and Batista.
There is lots of talk and debate going on over whether or not this was the WWE’s plan all along (to that I’m calling BS) or whether the #YesMovement, meaning the fans, made it impossible for The McMahon’s to ignore there demands.
This part is a certainty, the fans have spoken! The WWE has heard them! And now we have a chance for Wrestlemania XXX to truly be a monumental event. Oh yeah, there’s the other recently added items, ie Hulk Hogan’s return, Taker vs Lesner, The Andre the Giant Battle Royal, and the fantastic Hall of Fame inductees.
However, I have to ask this question. Did giving in to Daniel Bryan make that much difference???
Give me a Hell Yeah!
Ed’s Perspective: Thank You Dixie For Being You and For Going Back to What You Do Best
If you watched this past week’s live broadcast of TNA Impact, you should have noticed something that was missing – Dixie Carter. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Dixie for deciding to do what you do best. What’s that, you might ask? Being the behind the scene’s face of TNA.
With MVP firmly in charge of TNA now that his team defeated Team Dixie at Lockdown last Sunday, Thursday’s show was a huge improvement over the recent past in my opinion. Backstage, I don’t know how much input MVP actually has (in a Busted Open interview he said he has no contract and is working on a handshake and has creative input), but whether it be MVP, TNA Creative Head Dave Lagana, Dixie, or whoever but the pace was fast, the storylines were good and the crowd was hot all night long.
Now back to Dixie. I’m a huge fan of hers. I saved a short Direct Message on Twitter from Dixie that thanked me for a positive comment I sent to her about a show back in July of 2013. I want to see her succeed and I think having more than one major promotion is great for the business, so I want to see TNA succeed.
That said, I think the best way for TNA to move forward is to let Dixie do what she does best and that is behind the scenes and not in the ring (well and backstage since so much of the storyline parts are filmed backstage). Let the wrestlers, do what they do best – let MVP, Lagana and TNA Creative do what they do best (hold them accountable though) – and keep putting out the product you did this past week.
Do that, and those people up in the North East part of the country will have to take notice and when that happens, they have to step up their game. And the domino effect there makes it great for the fans. Don’t believe me? Do a little research on the Monday Night Wars. The fans were the winners in that war.
