Hoop’s Villain, Reality’s Hero
Firefly Funhouse Match > Boneyard Match.
For one reason.
History between characters.
Cena and Wyatt have a long history dating all the way back to the Nexus. Cena even referenced the Husky Harris character in one of his promos. A gimmicky match like this requires that sort of long history.
For me, that's what was missing in the Boneyard Match. There is no history between Undertaker and Styles to justify a Boneyard Match. It was a gimmick match for the sake of a gimmick match. And that is just stupid, in my opinion.
When the Hardy's did their equivalent of this match, it worked because of who they are! Brother who have been together in this business since the later 90s.
For me, the Boneyard Match was meh. Not because of the kind of match it was. But because of the lack of any real story between the two guys going at it.
the month long promos were so good that it made it work for me.
I'm wondering if they'll do Taker/Sting like this at some point.
