10 LIVE Observations From WWE WrestleMania 35
4. The Game Is A Relic; Bury The Act Along With E.T.
Absolutely get to f*ck, Triple H.
That's it for me. I try to remain objective about the man, even though I hate that he does this. He's pulled off these lofty epics before. He was outstanding in 2000. He has put over more people than he's often credited. I write things like 'Triple H has a complicated legacy...' because he does, but f*ck him, man. Everybody in the stand I was in, to a person, sat on their hands during his colossal stalling bore with Batista. This is his legacy: the guy who so evidently cares about the Future as NXT Creator gives not one f*ck about the present. For the millionth godd*mn time, he gobbled up 25 METHODICAL MINUTES at the expense of so much else on the card. This was parody of the least funny stripe. This was like a Friedberg/Seltzer movie spliced at the end of an actually good film.
Batista pulled a funny face. That was good. And then they just lay around, as if anybody was going to give a sh*t about that in an era in which the spirited athletic toil of young men and women is more over than dinosaurs getting their wrinkly old dicks out for a pissing contest. They took some wicked bumps, but they felt like ego massages more so than displays of hatred. Triple H's legacy isn't complicated. He is simply a counterproductive, tedious narcissist who should have taken that fall.
A pathetic, mind-numbing, mood-souring dud.
