Not even just the TV but people forget how the PPV was a “special” but had a far more promotional approach than people remember vs stuff getting blown off. The best example I can give is Mania VI. Other than the main and a few clear examples of people getting a push going over people who aren’t, here’s what they set up : In the Demolition title win they tell us the Harts have challenged the winners - that’s going on the road all summer. Beefcake is the one to end the “Perfect Record” - because people know Brutus can beat him when they are wrestling for the Intercontinental title for the next four months. The Orient Express get a shady win over the Rockers but don’t worry, you can buy a ticket to see the Rockers get their revenge. There’s the mixed tag rather than a Savage v Dusty one on one, so neither pins the other because they want you to pay to come and see it. The Harts get a stunning decisive victory befitting a team you’ll pay to see challenge for the belts. Earthquake flattens cheating bastard Jim Duggan after his win over Bravo because Duggan vs Earthquake is going to be a house show feud. The Million Dollar Man attacks Boss Man before the match with Akeem - at this point you can guess why. Finally Rick Rude gets a decisive clean win right before the main, because he’s going to be chasing Warrior all summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gotten worse since 1998. The difference now is talent take time off if concussed etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
