5 Ups & 10 Downs From WWE WrestleMania Raw (March 28)
6. Why Would You Book This?
That question could be asked regularly on WWE programming, but Drew McIntyre’s handicap match against his WrestleMania opponent Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss is a pretty easy one to raise.
McIntyre faced off against the dopey duo and easily won after Corbin bailed early and refused to tag back in, leaving Moss to eat a Claymore and take the loss. Happy snuck back in and attacked Drew afterwards, then stole his sword, because a stolen mask angle on Raw wasn’t enough, now we need a stolen sword angle for SmackDown!
But seriously, can anyone explain the thinking here of having McIntyre face his Mania opponent in a handicap match, and then still win? Doesn’t that just defeat the purpose of a one-on-one match? Shouldn’t it work in reverse? Or shouldn’t we just stop caring?
