Holy shit. Liv Morgan comes out to a live version of “Trouble”, and her dancers turn the Sexy up to 11 by actually stripping her down to her wrestling tights.
This really is the World Entrance Federation today.
TKO’s efforts to squeeze every last penny out of advertisers and fans have enshittified the project to the point where I’m starting to get nostalgic for Vince McMahon’s fourth-grade sense of humor.
WWE bringing back Lesnar was the final nail in my personal WWE coffin. I’ll watch clips, preferably on non-WWE channels, but I stopped watching the shows, I unsubscribed from WWE accounts (corporate, not WWE wrestler accounts - those I still follow). They’ll not ever get even one of my eyeballs on their advertising again. Wrestling has always had problematic performers and characters, and lots of things left bad tastes in my mouth over the years. Lesnar’s return was the proverbial straw that broke this camel’s back. When his music hit during that Cena match, I turned off the show and haven’t gone back.
Too many goddamned commercials! We had a preview of the Punk/Roman main event of Night 2, followed by a preview of Street Fighter - and now four more minutes of commercials!
