    That closes out the ads of Mania. It truly is a new era in advertising for WWE as TKO gets into the full swing of things.

      Oof, christ. Really goes to show how little I’ve come to notice them over the years, I think I’m just autoblurring em in my mind but that’s a big list…

      Seeing it listed out like this, I feel less weird for feeling a bit overwhelmed by ads while watching. It’s probably the most ads I’ve seen watching something in a long time. I was happy to see the mat ad wasn’t distracting though.

        Yeah I’m thankful the ring ad is just the outline really and not some big coloured in logo with a text tagline under it, it could be much worse even if I don’t like it.

        The really bad ones to me were when the ads were white, like Minute Maid and American Home Shield really stood out and were somewhat distracting to me.
