Full spoilers from WWE’s Raw taping at the O2 Arena in London, England, as they happened on Monday evening.

The WWE’s annual draft. A heavily hyped 3-hour behemoth of a show. An event that rears its ugly, bulbous head once per annum, looming high overhead like a wayward zeppelin.

Of course it is.

Post-draft, nothing has changed, or to express another cliché, in this column chock-full of them, the more things change, the more they stay the same…

Not since that WM has the same result transpired, not even in 2003, when WM 19 was a box-office flop (those who watched it appreciated a superior card of entertainment and grappling).

The closest I’ve came to feeling that disappointed, was with WrestleMania 22, which also didn’t feel like a special WrestleMania in some regards…
