A final look at WWE this decade by examining WrestleManias 32-35 like a script doctor, re-writing the line-ups in logical ways that would’ve made them better

This week, The Doc has WrestleMania on the brain. For years, December brought that excited feeling to prognosticate about the upcoming Show of Shows. Now, the excitement is in re-writing the past to prove it could and should have been better.

Reviewing the decade throughout the course of this year, one thing became readily apparent to Doc: WrestleMania in the first half of the decade had its misses, but the hits were all-time level great. So, what happened? WrestleMania 32, 33, 34, and 35 are the most critically panned consecutive foursome of “Granddadies” this century. Even at its best, this year’s to be specific, the event has often been characterized as much for its flaws as its successes. Imagine if a half decade went by and WrestleMania 25 was considered the best of the lot. That’s our reality in 2019.

So, with that in mind, The Doc is getting back into one of his favorite modes of wrestling conversation: fantasy land! Doc is re-writing recent WrestleMania lore and proving (as much as is possible) that a few simple, logical tweaks could have changed the game, not just at the Showcase of the Immortals, but in WWE overall.

4 Corners Podcast: The Rematch & The Rebuild

PC Tunney

This week, PC Tunney & Dave take a look at the Stanley Cup and NBA Finals! The NBA Finals will feature a matchup that few likely would have predicted at the beginning of the season, as the Indiana Pacers will take on the Oklahoma City Thunder for the NBA Championship. OKC seeks to cap off what some are calling the greatest rebuild of all time, and the only thing standing in their way is a powerful Indiana Pacers squad. One team will capture its first-ever NBA Title when all is said and done. Meanwhile, the Stanley Cup Finals are also set, and we are getting a rematch of last year’s epic seven-game tilt as the Florida Panthers will once again do battle with the Edmonton Oilers. The Panthers are seeking to become just the second team to win back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in the past 27 years. Edmonton, on the other hand, seeks to end Canada’s long national nightmare and bring the Cup back to Canada for the first time since 1993!.The guys will break it all down for you on this week’s edition of the 4 Corners Podcast. So TUNE IN!

This week’s hosts… Dave Ungar (@attitudeagg), and PC Tunney (@pctunney)
