In an effort to bring some positivity to professional wrestling—and the world for that matter—Cageside Seats and its community will say nice things about people and things in wrestling every single day throughout 2017.
A reminder of the rules: only positivity allowed here. No back-handed compliments, and CERTAINLY NO NEGATIVITY. If you don’t have something nice to say, keep it to yourself, or take it elsewhere. Negative comments will be deleted and you may be subjected to a ban. Cool? Cool.
Today’s subject: a budding Wrestlemania tradition: the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
I’ll break the ice. It’s an excuse to get 30 to 35 people a Wrestlemania payday they otherwise wouldn’t have gotten. Plus, if you’re on the roster and in reasonably good standing, you shouldn’t get to hang out in catering the entire show. It’s a harmless match that ultimately means nothing, but it’s a good time-waster. Plus being a participant says you were at the Showcase of the Immortals. So... there’s that.
Plus, hey, you’re honoring the king of the battle royal, Andre the Giant. So there’s that too.
Your turn. Say something nice about the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
And if you have a suggestion for a future “Let’s Say Nice Things About...”, hit me up on Twitter @notoriouseddie. I promise I won’t bite.
