WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (Mar. 30)

1. Taker Wins. Please Don't Order The Show

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwtYt8z2L1s You know WWE, most fans want to order WrestleMania, but you're making it very difficult right now. This year most of the card just feels uninspired, and one of the most heavily hyped matches is a foregone conclusion. Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker have had two physical altercations so far before their showdown. The 49-year-old Taker easily got the best of both encounters. First, he was guilty of pen stabbing Brock in the third degree, and then he out brawled him on Raw. Well, Taker has got this one in the bag, looks like we don't have to order the show! From a booking standpoint, it just makes no sense. WWE has made the interesting choice of acknowledging Taker's advancing years in the story. They've mentioned how with each year, it becomes more difficult for him to win. Instead of playing that fact up, and making it look like his streak is in legitimate jeopardy, they had him manhandle Brock twice. Where's the money in that? It's just the exact same build we see every single year. Taker gets supernatural, his opponent gets scared and Taker prevails in the end. If there was any sort of exception to the rule, it should have been the former UFC Champ. In any movie or book, isn't the point to see the hero in trouble before he prevails in the end? If Luke Skywalker beat the crap out of Darth Vader 15 minutes into Star Wars what would be the point in watching the rest of the film? How could you get emotionally invested if Simba stabbed Scar with a pen in the opening scene of The Lion King? And if Jonathan Harker gave Dracula a Jackknife Powerbomb to Dracula in the first chapter of Bram Stoker's novel, there'd be no point in reading the rest of the book. For some reason, WWE makes their own storytelling rules, which is probably why most of their stories are awful. Have a happy WrestleMania everyone!
