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

Follow @TheDocLOP

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.

This week, your favorite Nerds spend a lot of time talking about Marvel and the big things happening with the MCU in 2025 and beyond. We begin with a quick visit to the Trailer Park to look at the final trailer for Captain America: Brave New World and the first official trailer for Daredevil: Born Again. In News Around the Nerdosphere, the Russo Brothers gave us some insight as to why they decided to come back for two more Avengers movies, and some rather interesting details about Vision Quest have emerged. All that plus the official announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2, a couple of video game announcements that the guys are excited about, Invincible releases its schedule for Season 3, and we pay our respects to Bob Uecker and David Lynch.
