Wrestlemania XI Was Perfect. Kind Of.

I got to thinking about this show a bit and something occurred to me.

This show was actually a very good show for the outside fan. The stories are basic and mostly make sense, the characters are easy to identify and understand (Allied Powers, the Blu Brothers, King Kong Bundy, Owen Hart and Yokozuna, the Smoking Gunns.  They’re all one note characters that you can get with a single look), Roddy Piper as a guest referee for the “oh yeah I remember him” spot, the World Title match between Michaels and Diesel is a fun fight and a big name is in the main event with Lawrence Taylor and all of the other football players. The celebrities are there to bring in the people who wouldn’t watch in the first place and maybe they stick around for something that impresses them.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who watched the shows leading up to it and then got stuck with such a boring Wrestlemania. That’s not exactly shocking though as this coming Sunday we’re going to be watching Seth Rollins vs. Kane for the World Title and Kane’s alter ego’s job.
