Some very questionable decisions transpired on the road to WrestlemaniaWWE Fastlane
is always the last pit stop on the way to the grandest show of the
year- Wrestlemania. As a consequence, one would expect WWE to pull out
all stops to make the show feel much larger than life.
As we've
seen time and time again, this is never the case. On the contrary,
Fastlane seemed like a rushed show that was put together hurriedly and
treated as an inconvenience before Wrestlemania. Why else would we be
subjected to some of the awful booking decisions that we’ve seen at this
Raw exclusive pay-per-view?
#1 Worst: Part time champion
We really hope that Goldberg becomes a regular fixture on Raw before Wrestlemania
When
the company has to rely on part-timers to carry the brand, you know
professional wrestling is in big trouble indeed. It reflects one of the
greatest issues of our times- the fact that WWE simply cannot get new
stars over with the casual crowd like they once used to.
As a result, they are forced to bring
in big names from the past during Wrestlemania season and take the belt
off full-time talent who've been carrying the company on their backs not
only on TV and pay-per-view events but also at live events.
It
is a sign of the times that a wrestler who wasn't a good worker even
during his youth is more over with the crowd than an absolutely stellar
performer like the former Universal Champion Kevin Owens. It is a sign
of the times when the main event of a pay-per-view is a squash match.
We
certainly hope that heading into Wrestlemania, Goldberg becomes a more
regular fixture on Raw, not a special attraction. If not, it is
insulting to the WWE Universal title and the locker room too.
