I love it. Scooby-Doo is one of the greatest cartoons ever (imo) and now you mix it with some WWE superstars? Hell yeah. Looking forward to it.

Kind of sucks waiting so long but it should be fun

This is going to be the best thing ever. Sin Cara will botch trying to solve the mysteries and Triple H will bury the whole gang revealing that he was in cahoots with the masked monster all along, who's under the mask you may wonder? "IT WAS ME ALL ALONG SCOOBY!" Vince McMahon of course.
