Attention to details don’t matter in the WWE
Overall, I felt like the show was pretty good from a wrestling standpoint. There really wasn’t any bad or unwatchable wrestling. But the finishes in several matches were just lazy, terrible and sloppy.
One noticeable blunder was when Brie Bella was locked into the figure eight, which is Charlotte‘s finishing move, and was about, oh, I don’t know, two inches away from the freaking ropes and decided to tap out instead. Not to mention that the story of her leg giving out wasn’t told until after the match was over, instead of the announcers have the foresight to see that when Brie applied the half-crab. The fact that Brie could have EASILY grabbed the bottom rope, instead of taping out was something that left a bad taste in my mouth, for a match that overall, wasn’t bad at all.
You might say, “but Eron, you’re nitpicking! That’s only one blundered finish.”
THINK AGAIN!
We also saw during the main event match, in the final moments, Dean Ambrose pounding away at Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns with the chair, where “Super-Reigns” rose from the ashes and speared Ambrose and pinned him clean, virtually no-selling numerous chairs that had been delivered only 10 seconds earlier.
In a company where they restrict certain terms, for there to be a consistent and obvious problem with booking smart, logical and reasonable finishes, is just unacceptable. Tonight isn’t the first time. WWE has a proven track record to forego the details of a finish and do whatever finish they want to, not matter how stupid it is.
Yeah, I might be nitpicking, but why shouldn’t I? This is WrestleMania season. For finishes to have this little foresight is unacceptable.
