Why Everyone Is Wrong About THIS WrestleMania 39 Car Crash
THIS 'Mania match is either going to be glorious or a disaster, but it'll be must-see.
When you look at WrestleMania cards throughout the years, it can best be described as a sports entertainment stew.
There are a bunch of different ingredients that all simmer together to produce the final product: a technical masterpiece between some of the best wrestlers in the world; an epic collision between two behemoths; aerial displays that leave you breathless; a celebrity wrestler doing the impossible inside the squared circle; and a spectacle so fantastic that, like a car crash on the side of the road, you just can’t look away, no matter how gruesome the scene.
Sometimes, matches embody more than one of those categories and become truly memorable WrestleMania moments that stand the test of time. Maybe they’re not five-star classics, but they’re the stuff that gets even casual fans and non-wrestling fans buzzing because they’ve witnessed something that they almost never have seen.
This year, we’ve got that spectacle, that car crash that should get that buzz in the stadium: Of course, that describes Brock Lesnar versus Omos.
Sure, this match already has been divisive as hell among fans – even this writer was initially skeptical – and it might be the bathroom break match for many. But when you step back, and then really dive into the particulars, you’re left realizing that this has all the makings of a good call, even if it came from the bird brain of the despicable Vince McMahon.
Were there other options that might have been better? Absolutely. This column isn’t suggesting Brock/Omos is a dream match, but it’s not necessarily the godawful disaster some people make it out to be. Let's not forget that fans crapped all over other spectacle matches like Sami Zayn/Johnny Knoxville, Logan Paul/Roman Reigns and others when they were announced, so there is precedent for minds being changed on the night.
