10 Things We Learned From WWE 24: WrestleMania Orlando
Under-takeaways.
What a difference a day makes. Twenty-four little hours. Or in the case of The Undertaker's possible retirement, 365 days. 8760 little hours.
When filming began on WWE 24: WrestleMania Orlando, the intended narratives must have been very clear. Get Nikki Bella over. Record the Hardyz' covert op. Totally ignore NXT and nearly all the women. And at the top of the bill: track the last day of The Undertaker's wrestling career.
It's hard to imagine a more tantalising subject for a wrestling doc. After 30 years spent hermetically-sealed in a jar of antique kayfabe, finally the lid could be lifted post-retirement, and we'd get to see Undertaker the man, not the Deadman.
And so we do, along with his ill-advised sense of style. But does it have that promised finality? Is this really it, or is there a teaser after the end credits of mortal Mark's career?
Just maybe. A lot can change in a year.
If we learned anything significant from WWE's latest documentary - besides that whoever puts these things together is the boss - it's the answer to this burning question. Hatstands aren't the final resting place for hats, after all.
10. There Was Real Heat Between Miz And Cena?
Now he may have just been talking absolutely bumchunder for the benefit of the cameras, but The Miz dropped the bombshell that his mixed-tag match alongside wife Maryse, opposite the soon-to-be betrothed John Cena and Nikki Bella, was born out of legitimate animosity.
A few minutes removed from escaping a near-miss with the point of the phrase 'popcorn match', The Miz outlined how the whole angle came together, suggesting he's in the regular habit of impersonating Cena at home for his wife's amusement. Well, whatever gets you going.
Most eye-opening of all, he concluded: "When an audience hears that two people don't like each other, it's like, 'wait a second, am I getting an insight into something that happened, in real life?' They were."
Blimey.
