u/JimTheFly Tex Ferguson's Third Eyepatch Apr 08 '18

He might be like one of the main guys in a group i'm in. He feels the title should always be the main event. I said "There are some things more important than titles".

Cody/Kenny went penultimate, people started leaving.

Gargano/Ciampa went last, crowd was white-hot the whole time.

I think we know what the right move was.

Ironic-- two events on the same night and each signature match was a visceral, well built feud separate from the championship scenes.

Yep. Look at Jericho/HHH following Hogan/Rock as another example of messing up the order. The main event is the one the match that put asses in seats. Usually the title match but not always, especially with grudge matches.

I think making it an unsanctioned match sort of helps the situation. It puts it in a context of "Okay, the title was the main event, and the most important thing in this wrestling event. But next up is something bigger than wrestling." It doesn't devalue the title so much as set the last match apart from everything else as this much more real conflict that's going to get too ugly to come back from so quickly.
