Barring the outdoor stadium eating the boos in the air (which certainly won't happen on Raw tomorrow), Reigns is getting booed...and HHH is actually going to get a pretty unexpectedly good face reaction (by default, but true). [quote][i]Originally posted by Paddlefoot[/i] Anyone know when they started banishing hyped-for-WM matches to a non-viewable pre-show limbo? All three of those matches put together won't take more than forty minutes to complete, maybe even less as the women's match has WM 25 Diva's battle royal written all over it in terms of "just get it over with potential", with a bunch of hot tags and a fast finish in under ten minutes. They have their own network now where they don't have to answer to anyone, and a show being run on dedicated PPV-specific cable channels where they aren't pre-empting or over-running on another show's time. So, for better or worse, why not just show it all as part of the official broadcast? There's a lot of talent in those three matches that have all been basically told "you made it to Wrestlemania! (but not really)". [/quote] Preshows are generally free and used as a last minute way to entice casual fans into buying a WWE/Network. It's less powerful these days, but I'm sure there's still places in this world where it works well. They do have the last hour of the preshow airing on USA this year, so there's definitely more reason to have some of the matches there, just as they used to shoot angles on WWE Heat. Either way, expanding this card to 6 hours seems a bit unreasonable to ask people to watch as "all even". Talented guys or not, someone's going to be left off the card and a lot of these people (divas especially) in a normal year with full depth, would be in the Battle Royal as best. Now they get to have 20 minutes each to be focused on, which especially with tag matches in WM preshows (the 2 on 2 kind), tends to have good results. [Edited on 4-3-2016 by S Kid J E T S 48]
