#2 Helps hide weaknesses

Believe it or not, something amazing happened during the Boneyard match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles on Night One of WrestleMania 36. Some liked the way it was shot, while others appreciated the supernatural elements that were incorporated. Between all this, The Undertaker seemed to look even better.

Think about it -- this isn't The Undertaker we have been used to seeing over the last couple of years. This wasn't the slow, shell of a man that struggled to perform his signature moves and end a match. This version of The Deadman was able to compensate for his mobility on his sheer attitude alone.

And that's what's so great about these cinematic matches. It's the fact that WWE can hide a Superstar's weaknesses and play up his strengths. Imagine how WWE could utilize that same aesthetic with other Superstars that are on the latter half of their careers. This could really be the beginning of something if WWE works to perfect it.
