Honestly, I’m not sure if the decision to label WrestleMania 38 “the most STUPENDOUS two nights in history” is ad-speak or a Vince McMahon-ism (or both). But I immediately thought it was pretty silly.

That is, dare I say it, STUPENDOUS! And I can say that, because Pat Mac and the Webster’s dictionary taught me what STUPENDOUS means.
Michael Cole — a man who’s probably been tasked with saying more awkward $#!+ than anyone else is human history — breaking might be my favorite part of that video.
Please bring the Farmer’s Almanac next Friday, Pat.
