The show is still far from actually good, but at least they’re not making me spend an hour going on about how horrible the show was or how it broke the rules of wrestling. Somehow, that’s a major step forward for them, which is really sad to think about." | ||

Somehow, that’s a major step forward for them, which is really sad to think about."
