Ruthless-RKO
F*ck Friends, Rather die wiv ma AK!
I don't know which section to post this thread, move it if you like..
I hope I've covered all the bases here.
This is something I've been wondering for quite a while, ever since the whole controversy last year about Punk being WWE Champion but never getting the last segment or the main event match.
Honestly, I think that some people, both in WWE and the fandom, put too much stock into the "lasting impression" and what the last image is when the copyright bug comes on screen and we fade into ~ENTERTAINMENT~. It feels like those people are ignoring any of the good stuff that came before it because "If they didn't put it last, it doesn't matter". However I agree that the last thing you see on a ppv is what is remembered the most.
The last segment on any show, I think it's a MAJOR part of the show. More often than not, the last image before the show goes off the air is what people are gonna remember the most. There have been more than a few time when I've been happy with a show that wasn't very good but had a killer ending. On the other hand, I've gotten pissed off at shows that, in hindsight, weren't all that bad but had a god awful ending.
In the same way that a bad ending can ruin a good movie, a bad ending can ruin a good wrestling show.
I don't know if this is just part of a greater issue at large or not, but I'm interested in what people think on this subject..
