YMMV / Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery

Go To

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Cookie trying to steer his nephew Reuben away from a career in pro-wrestling. Jealousy because he doesn't want Reuben to get the glory Cookie himself never had, or a case of Even Evil Has Loved Ones, with Cookie genuinely trying to protect his nephew from the revenge scheme he'd been working on?
  • Fridge Brilliance: Anyone caught committing a crime in WWE City is given the opportunity to wrestle it out in the ring for a pardon, which is the crux of the Shaggy and Scooby versus Kane plot. When the villain is caught, however, the story completely skips over this idea and takes him straight to jail. But for one thing, Cookie has a bad leg, so he's fundamentally unable to wrestle without outside assistance like his Ghost Bear suit. Second, the very thing that got him caught to begin with was his timely defeat in the aforementioned match as he illegally turned it into a six versus one bout, well after committing a multitude of crimes, so by the city's own law, he blew that chance already.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Which John Cena has a role in) would later introduce a villainous wrestler named...you guessed it, Ghostbear.
  • Memetic Mutation: The scene where John Cena saves the gang from a boulder has gone down as "the very last John Cena joke ever."
  • Narm: When John Cena finds the Championship Belt on a defeated Cookie at the end thanks to Velma's deduction. What's meant to be a swift "Reason You Suck" Speech comes off as rather arbitrary.
    John Cena: Sorry Cookie, the Championship Belt isn't for cheaters, it's for champions.
    • It also doesn't help that the Big Bad's name is Cookie to begin with.
  • Platonic Writing, Romantic Reading: AJ Lee and Shaggy were written to just have a mentor-like relationship, but she comes across as rather seductive to viewers with how her interactions with Shaggy are executed.
  • Spiritual Successor: To The New Scooby-Doo Movies from the 1970s. Like that series, this too features Scooby and the gang teaming up with animated versions of celebrities (or celebrities playing the characters they're best known for).
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Scooby and Shaggy convince the rest of the Gang to go to WWE City by reminding them of all the terrifying and humiliating situations they had to pass through while resolving the mysteries. The overall idea that Shaggy and Scooby are secretly resentful of being used as bait and that the Gang is Innocently Insensitive about it, it is not explored again after this small dialogue.
  • Unexpected Character: When thinking of a luchador, Rey Mysterio comes to mind. Instead, it's Sin Cara who takes the spotlight.
