That's the storyline we're going with. Why is that the storyline we're going with?

How to kill a crowd: Have AJ Styles talk about how Undertaker is actually Mark Calloway and how his wife Michelle McCool is really running the show. That gets me very excited for a match with the supernatural Deadman character, with the story now being that he's a pretend character.
Oh and then say you're going to literally murder Undertaker at Wrestlemania, realize that's probably a no no, then abruptly change that to just takin his soul (no DIGGIN HOLES unfortunately).

 Funny how that other thread was trashing those style of promos and here we are with one that was just about worse than them both. I didn't even watch Raw, I woke up and saw a clip and shook my head. Man they could have had something with this feud lol. |

I wasn't watching at the time, but it's my understanding from reading FAN over the years that while Michelle was a pretty solid wrestler, absolutely nobody gave a shit about her. I can't imagine things changing.

AJ must be bitter about Michelle Mccool stealing his move.

How does this even make any internal sense with the feud to this point? AJ's twice lost a match because Undertaker came out and attacked him for no reason, both times laying him out effortlessly. Why is AJ suddenly having to rile him up? Why does AJ think he's a broken down old man when said broken down old man keeps easily beating his ass?

AJ still has PTSD from ten years ago when LayCool steam rolled the entire women's division.
But, this fued is about Taker and his wife now? wat

I'm honestly kinda shocked either guy signed off on this crap.

He killed that crowd dead, and any interest in this feud. This didn't work when Cena did it, why the f*** would it work with AJ Styles??
that "I will make sure you die in the ring" line was BAD though, like really bad, to the point he had to audible and rephrase it immediately. And if that was the originally written line for him to say, whoever wrote it should be ashamed of themselves. I'm honstly ashamed either way that AJ even said it. Isn't this dude supposed to be a Christian? How did he sign off on saying he'd kill a man??
I'm just so sick of meta shoot bullshit. I'm tired of WWE constantly screaming at us "NONE OF THIS IS REAL" while also trying to push narratives and kayfabe gimmicks. It might work in small doses, but it's every other feud at this point. It's so f***ing stupid, and if this is the shit we have to deal with, then I agree with AJ on one thing, Taker should have stayed retired.

I did think it was super weird how McCool threw a Twitter fit just this past week because WWE didn’t include her in some dot com photo gallery about women’s wrestling. To the point that Taker (or more likely McCool using Taker’s twitter account) complained about it as well.

I'm honestly kinda shocked either guy signed off on this crap. It'd be hilarious if Taker didn't and he rips Vince a new one when he arrives backstage next week. Unlikely. But yeah .... that was horrible. Even if everyone already knows the mystique is gone, to literally out his name and tie the character to Michelle f'n McCool and think it would elevate anything is baaaaaaaad |

I honestly dozed off during the entire AJ portion of Raw. He’s been kinda awful for awhile now.

It's not really his fault that he's slowed down in the ring because father time catches up with everybody, but my expectations for the match with Taker are extremely low. |

I think it’s mainly an OC thing. I just have zero interest in anything they do. |

I hate to tell WWE and The Undertaker Family, but Michelle McCool was kind of flash in the pan. LayCool was memorable partially due to Layla, and they got crickets a lot of the time even back then. The way they act like she made some sort of major impact in the era is stretching it, and calling her a legend is flat out absurd. It felt like she was successful for a few years and retired young like most of the women did back then. I'm sure she would've most likely to thrive if the division was taken more seriously back then, so it's not all on her or anything, but history is history.
AJ freakin' buried Undertaker, so I hope this doesn't mean we're in for another "match" like the Cena one. I think this AJ/Taker match will really give insight into what Taker is capable of when paired with a smaller, still-good wrestler.
