Going for 3:40:37

So, as I began to watch the Best Super Tag Teams full match marathon below:

I see that the first wrestler out to the ring is Cody Rhodes and I hear his theme song and think, that's really cool! I embed it.

Then I do some research about that tune and find this article: https://www.wrestlinginc.com/1519014/everything-about-wwe-star-cody-rhodes-theme-song-kingdom/ The second wrestler out to the ring is Seth Rollins and I hear his theme song and think, that's really cool! I embed it.

The Best Super Tag Teams full match marathon is 3:40:37 in length. I am not even 15 minutes in - meaning I haven't seen a punch thrown or a kick dropped - and I plan to make this video my soundtrack until my training class at 10 AM.

Cody Rhodes grants Kevin Owens a match at WWE Bash in Berlin: SmackDown highlights, Aug. 9, 2024

The video sets up the article below.  Frankly speaking, I am just not a fan of the friend v friend match,  especially when it's Rhodes and Owens.  I understand why it makes sense to go there but unless KO is going to turn heel,  there's no progression in the storytelling - all it does is make the good guys distrust each other when they are already not in a named alliance.

Cody Rhodes, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens vs Judgment Day | WWE Raw Highlights 8/21/23

Matches like this one are not new. The three current "good guys" take on the "bad guys" stable which, in this case, is called "Judgment Day" with Finn Balor and others as members. I have not watched Monday Night Raw as it was being aired on USA Network in a very long time - perhaps not once in the last 3 years. It's kind of ironic. I used to wonder what it would be like to go downstairs every Monday night from 7-10 and be able to watch 3 hours of pro wrestling without being pulled away from Monday Night Raw by kids. I used to think that when Karen and I were living in our empty nest, I would have all the free time in the world. My reality? Nope!
