"I'll take "Least Surprising Revelations" for $1000, Alex." Can't imagine what was being piped directly into his ears for years.

The pop would be earth-shattering. And damn, have I missed her music.

If that's how he feels, glad for him. It is true in a lot of respects. I think my view is that they pushed an unpopular star, but then refused to give him the tools to increase his popularity. Disappointing, boring matches, bland foreign heel gimmick. Just cheap heat that went nowhere. In short, the same problem with a lot of Vince's WWE: settling for fine and appeasing Vince when they could've tried something new and it could've been great.

That's a bummer. He was going wild and I think he added a lot to the match. Hopefully it is minor and he just needs a bit of time

Adrenaline, in my soul, C'mon Too-Sweet me, Michael Cole.

This is my first time actually watching Mortos/Taurus in a full match, I'm really impressed.

Sweetened, doesn't particularly matter with what. Though I think my favorite has been a honey/citron/ginger tea from Costco. No caffeine, but the flavor was immaculate.

I don't think there is anything that could've been said to justify attacking a coworker.

Holy shit, they actually did it

I'm glad he's chosen to do the safe thing. He's done so much for the industry, sacrificed so much so freely. He's my #1 GOAT, but I don't want him in a match ever again.

Obviously you have a lot of possibilities with a villain who is being deliberately portrayed as unhinged. I think the line you need to walk is between making it honest and ruining the fun. One thought that came to mind was the reset. If the bbeg is on the back foot and it looks like the PCs got it, have the bbeg throw a tantrum and wish to try again. Everyone's HP resets, and maybe he had a few new special abilities to counteract the offensive moves that they first tried. Not to mention, this also goes back to a time when the bbeg has a wish spell. This makes it like a boss fight with multiple health bars, but there are some players who don't like this type of encounter vehemently and it can feel cheap. I wouldn't do more than 3 "rounds." If you party is really tactical, you might also entice them with new weaknesses that are telegraphed or maybe an environmental assistance.

Another idea that came to mind would be wishing they already won. Then you flash forward to the PCs about to be executed in some theatrical way, turning the encounter into a 007 escape that leads directly into the real boss fight. Maybe there are some low level horde waves, some skill checks, some absurd monologuing.

Best of luck!

Important clarification: is this the end of the campaign?
