I saw all I needed to see of Super Showdown thanks to YouTube. More specifically, the Goldberg-Undertaker match. First of all, those guys are troopers, that match had little to no chance of working once Goldberg rung his bell. They did what they could and I applaud that. I could see where they wanted to go with the match, they only problem was, they had no way to get there. Hindsight is always 20/20 and what could have been done to cover the accident was to have Taker keep pummeling Goldberg until the ref had no choice but to stop the match. A quick fix, called on the fly, might have salvaged what was left of Goldberg to work with. That also would have given Goldberg a reason to call for a rematch. WWE could give it a proper build and put the match on a Mania or SummerSlam. Anything would have been better than what happened. Both guys looked bad, Taker looked pissed off, the crowd looked uneasy. They knew what they were watching wasn’t pretty and not what they hoped to see. The unfortunate reality of going to a sporting event, or entertainment event, is that you don’t always get what you want. Sometimes you see Willie Mays stumble around the outfield because he is five years past his prime. Is that worth the price of admission? It’s up to you to decide. My favorite singer is Ozzy, but I’m not going to pay money now to see him mumble the words to Fairies Wear Boots into a microphone. I also wasn’t allowed to see him in the 80’s because heavy metal was the devil’s music, so it’s been cassette tapes and CDs for my Ozzy fix. I’m fine with that. I’m not going to bash the guy for still doing concerts, I’m just not going to give my money to him. I cancelled my subscription to WWE Network after this years Mania. Right now, I’m not real interested in the product they offer. From what I watched of Super Showdown, I won’t be interested in paying for their service again anytime soon.
That’s my two cents. Thanks for reading.
