Question:

In a normal, legal 11-on-11 soccer game, with no powers, no weapons, no flying, no fighting, and no cartoon rule-breaking, which Super Smash Bros. team wins? I spelled out the positions in case people don't know soccer.

Team A

Goalkeeper — Snake

He is the player standing in front of the goal. His job is to stop shots, catch crosses, organize the defense, and keep the ball out of the net.

Defensive Midfielder — Byleth

Byleth plays in front of the defense. Their job is to protect the center of the field, stop attacks early, win the ball back, and make safe passes.

Striker — Bowser

Bowser is the main goal scorer. His job is to stand near the opponent’s goal, use his size to win the ball, hold off defenders, and finish chances.

Center Back — Ridley

Ridley is a main defender in the middle. His job is to stop the other team’s striker, block shots, clear crosses, and protect the goal area.

Central Midfielder — Zero Suit Samus

Zero Suit Samus plays in the middle of the field. Her job is to connect defense and attack, move the ball around, help defend, and help create chances.

Attacking Midfielder — Mewtwo

Mewtwo plays behind the main striker. Their job is to create scoring chances, find open space, make smart passes, and help the attack flow.

Winger — Sonic

Sonic plays wide near the sideline. His job is to use speed to beat defenders, run down the field, cross the ball, and create chances from the outside.

Box-to-Box Midfielder — Sheik

Sheik runs between both ends of the field. Their job is to help defend near their own goal, help attack near the other goal, press opponents, and cover a lot of ground.

Fullback — Fox

Fox is a wide defender. His job is to stop the other team’s winger, defend the sideline, and sometimes run forward to help the attack.

Wingback — Falco

Falco is a more attacking version of a wide defender. His job is to run up and down the entire side of the field, helping both the defense and the attack.

False 9 / Second Striker — Bayonetta

Bayonetta is a creative forward. Instead of just standing by the goal, her job is to move around, pull defenders out of position, pass, create chances, and sometimes score.

Team B

Goalkeeper — King K. Rool

He is the player standing in front of the goal. His job is to block shots, cover as much of the net as possible, and stop the other team from scoring.

Defensive Midfielder — Link

Link plays in front of the defense. His job is to protect the middle, break up attacks, win the ball, and keep the team balanced.

Striker — Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong is the main goal scorer. His job is to use strength and athleticism to win balls near the goal, hold off defenders, and score.

Center Back — Ganondorf

Ganondorf is a central defender. His job is to physically control the area near his own goal, stop the other team’s striker, and clear dangerous balls away.

Central Midfielder — Wii Fit Trainer

Wii Fit Trainer plays in the middle of the field. Their job is to stay active all game, pass, defend, support the attack, and keep the team moving.

Attacking Midfielder — Joker

Joker plays behind the striker. His job is to be the creative brain of the attack, make clever passes, find space, and set up goals.

Winger — Greninja

Greninja plays wide near the sideline. His job is to use agility and quick changes of direction to beat defenders and create chances.

Box-to-Box Midfielder — Captain Falcon

Captain Falcon runs all over the field. His job is to defend, attack, carry the ball forward, make powerful runs, and bring energy everywhere.

Fullback — Lucina

Lucina is a wide defender. Her job is to defend the sideline, stop fast attackers, stay disciplined, and support the team when they move forward.

Wingback — Mythra

Mythra is an attacking wide defender. Her job is to sprint up and down the side, defend when needed, and give the team speed going forward.

False 9 / Second Striker — Zelda

Zelda is a creative forward. Her job is to drop back from the front line, connect passes, confuse defenders, and help create scoring chances.

Which team do you think wins?

My Answer: Team A wins 4-3.

Team B is probably more balanced and steady. They have Link, Wii Fit Trainer, Joker, Captain Falcon, and Lucina, so they would understand spacing, teamwork, and structure really well, but Team A has more game-breaking pieces. Snake is the better goalkeeper. Bowser is the hardest striker to defend. Sonic is the fastest player on the field. Zero Suit Samus is the best overall athlete. Mewtwo and Bayonetta give them enough creativity to feed the attack. Team B controls parts of the game, but Team A has the players who decide the game. Team A wins.

WWE today has plenty of stars. Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, CM Punk, Gunther, Jey Uso, LA Knight, Sami Zayn, Drew McIntyre, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Randy Orton, and others prove that. The issue is that WWE’s modern booking often creates moments without eras. Before, when WWE truly believed in someone, they changed the company around them. Austin became the show. Rock became the show. Brock became the monster. Cena and Batista became the future. Today, WWE often gives someone the pop, the T-shirt, the entrance, the chant, or the short reign, but then pulls back before that person becomes a permanent pillar. Let me be clear: They can still find stars. They can still create moments. What they struggle with is turning those moments into eras before the crowd has to beg them to do it.

UPDATE: I think people are arguing against a point I’m not making. I’m not saying WWE has no stars. Cody, Roman, Cena, Punk, Seth, Rhea, Bianca, Gunther, Orton, and Jey prove they clearly do. My point is that WWE has a commitment problem with the next layer of stars. Cody is actually the exception that proves the rule. WWE fully committed to him. They gave him the story, the protection, the main event, the title win, the presentation, and the follow-through. Roman is another example. They committed to him for years, especially with The Bloodline. Cena was the old model of that same commitment but that is exactly why Big E, Kofi after WrestleMania, Sami Zayn after Montreal, LA Knight during his hottest run, Drew after the pandemic title run, and even Jey after his huge popularity are worth bringing up. WWE gave many of them moments, but not eras. They were hot enough to be treated like permanent main-event pillars, but WWE often moved them sideways, cooled them off, shortened the reign, or waited too long so no, WWE does not have a star power problem. It has a selective commitment problem. They commit hard to Cody, Roman, Cena, Rhea, Bianca, and Gunther. But they are much more hesitant with the people right underneath that level, even when the crowd is already telling them there is more there.

It is hard to touch every part of WWE in 4 spots but I tried. If I’m making a WWE Mount Rushmore using everything together like popularity, influence, match quality, legacy, crowd reactions, storytelling, longevity, and cultural impact, my four picks are Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Becky Lynch, and Jeff Hardy. Austin represents WWE at its absolute peak and changed wrestling forever. Undertaker is the ultimate WWE legend because of his longevity, character, and WrestleMania legacy. Becky Lynch represents the moment women’s wrestling truly became equal at the top level in WWE. Jeff Hardy represents tag team wrestling because the Hardy Boyz influenced an entire generation with their creativity, risk-taking, and emotional connection with fans.

Asuka says her WWE appearances will be "rare" going forward - "It was a personal matter, I reached out to WWE and we talked it through" -

"It's alreadv been about two weeks since my last match at Backlash. I know there are a ton of rumors flving around out there... people asking, 'Are we ever going to see Asuka wrestle again?' 'Is she going back to Japan?' 'Is she leaving WWE?

"The truth is. it was a personal matter - I reached out to WWE and we talked it through. But let's be clear - as you all know from watching my matches, I can still go 1 am still at the top of my game!

"I've been with WWE for over 10 years now, almost like it was just a given. And because it became such a part of your daily routine, I think my presence there just became something everyone took for granted

"But remember... nothing lasts forever. Everything is finite. You see, I'm not ust a wrestler by trade; I'm a designer too. Even the way I live my life has to be art.

"I'm sure vou're all wondering what's next for me, and how I'I be involved wiht TV and the tours movino forward.

"But don't forget - I am still officially with WWE. So there's a chance I might just pop up in front of you when you least expect it.

"Let's be honest. no-one will ever make the kind of historic impact I made from day one. I don't think anyone will ever climb to the top non-stop, grabbing every title and accolade along the way, the way I did. And because I'm a true pioneer, there will never be another Asuka

"So from here on out, if you ever catch a glimpse of me, you better cherish it. Because it's going to be rare. That said, my YouTube channel and social media are staying active to stay connected with you guys!"

Personally, I think tag team wrestling moves in cycles. The 90s and early 2000s were the big innovation era with TLC matches and crazy risks. The late 2010s and 2020s became more refined with better storytelling, psychology, and overall match quality. Because of that, I think the late 2030s into the 2040s will become a more cinematic and story-driven era. Factions will probably matter more than just two-person teams, and rivalries may last for years with betrayals, member changes, and long-term character arcs. I also think wrestling will become more realistic and controlled physically, with less dangerous stunts but smoother action and better storytelling. Women’s tag wrestling will likely become just as important as men’s, and technology will make entrances and presentation feel much bigger. Overall, I think the future of tag wrestling will feel less like random matches and more like huge ongoing stories between entire factions and generations of wrestlers.

I dont know if this is a hot take but I honestly think WWE missed a huge chance by ending The Undertaker’s streak instead of passing it on. In my mind, the better story would have been Undertaker going 24–0 into WrestleMania 33 and losing for the first time to the Demon version of Finn Balor. After that, the Demon would show up only once a year at WrestleMania to defend that legacy against big-name stars who weren’t already fighting for the title, keeping the modern supernatural feel alive like Undertaker did. To me, that would have created something every year fans would still be asking who would finally be the one to beat the Demon.
