The Bad
The Go Home show
Historically, the Raw before a Pay Per View, or the “go-home” episode, is super boring. All the matches have been set for weeks, and no one wants to risk injury beforehand, so it’s reduced to a 3-hour long trailer for the biggest show.
The Wrestlemania go-home show is the worst. It’s super holding pattern-y, during the holding patternest month of the year. It’s the exact opposite of the Raw AFTER Wrestlemania. So NOBODY wants ANYBODY to get hurt, lest they lose their Mania spot. So wrestling is kept to a minimum. Goldberg was barely allowed to do one of his two moves, and it just looked like an aggressive hug. I’m surprised Taker was allowed outside of the house.
No new plot advancement because they’ve already done that. Honestly, if you asked the clowns in creative to help at all this close to the big show, they’d probably be able to write an excellent script for why they haven’t done their job in years. I’m assuming that’s how they keep their jobs. Yay, Wrestlemania season.
