it might not be a wrestler depends on where exactly they go with it

I think it's gonna be some sort of elaborate announcement for a show's location or something. Maybe revealing where mania 44 will be.

I know the box is person sized but that box has been sealed for weeks. So it wouldn't make much sense for it to be a person. Though it would be pretty funny if they open it and it's just a dead body.
 
I think AJ Styles was the reason why I picked up watching wrestling to begin with. I'll genuinely miss the dude since he for the past year or so has been the only reason why I "watch"(read: looked up highlight clips and watched his and only his PPV matches) wrestling now.
I feel a bit bad for Will Ospreay for not getting his dream matchup, but at the same time AJ's pretty old and I doubt he could pull off something reminiscent of his old X Division days.

Dude Wipes sponsorships should be banned. I'm all for having a clean butthole but Dude Wipes sound so feminine. Might as well have "Lad Pads" for anal seepage post-pegging and "Manties" when you feel like being sexy around the bros.

Say what you will about him but at least Vince never put toilet paper ads in the middle of the fucking ring. Probably because he was using women's faces instead but still.

What is the deal with Dude Wipes anyways? Are there such insecure men out there that look at toilet wipes and think it's gay or something to clean your arse smeared with shit particles with a toilet wipe?
 
The in-ring ads are an eyesore that taint any imagery in it. Imagine undertaker retiring while kneeling on a prime bottle logo for example.

The in-ring ads really are an eyesore. I didn't mind when there were ads on the barricades since it kind of reminds of me actual sport events that have those. But having it in the ring directly is just horrible.

Nothing beats the fucking slim jim table and ladder though for obnoxious advertising.
 
WWE realized nobody wants to see Yeet Man in the Elimination Chamber so they did an angle where someone attacked him before SmackDown and are going to replace him with someone else.
edit: they did Logan Paul vs Jacob Fatu for the last spot. Logan won thanks to Drew interfering. Just confirms Cody is winning the Chamber then they'll have Fatu force his way into the match to make it a triple threat at Mania.
edit 2: worth mentioning the "Masked Man" showed up during the match to attack The Vision, then they took off his mask to reveal some LITERALLY WHO that nobody has ever seen before. I'm assuming it's a decoy to throw people off. Pic related:

It's obvious whoever the masked guy that was revealed tonight was not the masked guy. I applaud the misdirection added to the storyline.

I never got the appeal of Dusty Rhodes. Not WWF Dusty, which was basically just a humiliation ritual by Vince.

He always looked like death and was on the verge of having a massive coronary and collapsing mid-match or promo. And he sounded like he was retarded, which made his ability to talk come off as 'meh' for me.

He was a good talker, but I just couldn't take him seriously.

I think there are some guys, Dusty included, who's best stuff in ring was before filming was prevalent so most of it is lost to time. Harley Race I feel falls into this too, for me anyway. You hear how Race was one of the greastest NWA champs of all time but by the time TV became a big thing he was winding down on his career. They built a rep but if you weren't around to see it it's almost like it doesn't exist.

On the other hand guys like Flair, Steamboat, Funk continued to wrestle through the 80's, 90's, and even 2000's so it is easier to point to their best stuff because a lot of it is on tape.

I liked Dusty in small doses, but he was awful on commentary in the 90s in WCW. He was great at working a brawling NWA 70-80s style, but felt completely out of place in any other company or time period he was in.

Also, whenever I see him now I just think of the Tourettes Guy clip, paraphrasing, "Y'know that old wrestler Dusty Rhodes? He was A FAT PIECE OF SHIT".
