#109 – Moving On (WrestleMania Recap & All In Footage)
Manage episode 412080141 series 1924018
The scholars talk the highs and lows from a huge week of professional wrestling.
The Scholars take the minimum amount of time possible to talk through their feelings about Tony Khan’s decision to show backstage footage of CM Punk and Jack Perry’s fight from ALL IN. (03:15)
Then, the scholars give their thoughts on WrestleMania XL. They break down the careful bits of storytelling from the warm night 2 main event, including assigning which wrestler fit which superhero from Avenger’s Endgame. They talk about what felt different in this year’s WrestleMania than in years past. They talk about the non-literal winners of the weekend (Michael Cole, Samantha Irvin, Bayley & Iyo, cinematography) and the losers (bad weather, live musical performances, a total and disgusting lack of Gritty!). (27:00)
Finally, the scholars look ahead to WWE’s post-Bloodline future. They talk about how Cody can avoid cooling off now that he’s finished his story, what the next steps are for the likes of Roman Reigns and The Rock, they talk about who should be the focal point of the next batch of longterm WWE storytelling, and fantasy book SummerSlam, The Royal Rumble, and WrestleMania XLI.(1:05:48)
