He's right. It's a retarded finish in-kayfabe and out.

Eh, to me it's pretty brilliant. I've been watching wrestling 20+ years and that had never occurred to me.
my problem is they obviously have to close the loophole, otherwise why wouldn't everyone always do it. so it's a one-time only deal, and Idt using it on zero heat Carmella was a good usage of it. she just get's zero reaction, she will not get the heat this deserves as a one-time deal, it was a waste to use it on her.

I mean I guess it gets heel heat on Carmella but they spent so much time building this up as this historic thing and I get it, it's all a work, but, at a certain point, you're just undermining your own product and making it impossible to take it seriously.

Like, I get that WWE apparently wants a product where none of the results matters and nothing compelling ever happens, but I can't figure out why.

>>2780292
They built it up just so it could get this reaction. Like I know in average wrestling fans are idiots, but this is ridiculous that so many marks can't understand this.

>>2780154
The first mistake was even doing a lame ass women's MITB that no one gave a shit about until the finish.

>>2780292
this is a patrician take.

it sounds SJW, but because they have pushing the "girl power" thing so hard, and kept hyping this MitB as history-setting, they really did undercut themselves and the fans who wanted the "girl power" they were sold.

I know that. I'm saying the point is that they got the reaction they wanted, but it worked too well.

They wanted to get heat on Carmella and Ellsworth for, in-storyline, damaging the credibility of the match and the women's division. What they did was, out-of-storyline, damage the credibility of the match and the women's division. Why should people get invested if these are the kinda of finishes they're gonna do, and these are the kind of finishes they ALWAYS do.

>>2780325
This, basically.

I guess the best way to put it is they broke willing suspension of disbelief and got the heat they wanted on Carmella and Ellsworth on themselves instead.
