Geoff Peterson posted:I think the HHH podcast with Stone Cold alluded to that a bit, between "But everyone is smart now" and nods towards people reading the dirtsheets/drama/show-behind-the-show (including ESPN giving Masked Man a terrible semi-wheneverhewantstowriteit column). It also makes me wonder how genuine the UFC interest in Brock was... seems like WWE got some major mainstream hype-and story driving- from UFC indicating possible interest and in return one of the UFC's most marketable (and non-cocaine-addicted) stars got some major exposure in front of a combat sports ("sports") audience. she's pokemon addicted tho

beggar posted:AJ has been phoning it in real bad since she's been back, it's clear her heart isn't into it anymore. Much better for her to get out with her psyche intact. She also could do well on the indies if she's just fed up with WWE management but still wants to wrestle. I just rewatched the end of the divas match to see if people are just bullshitting - Paige does look like she's about to cry for a second there when she looks at AJ, and she says something, although I can't read her lips well enough to know what it is. But Paige also could have just been emotionally overwhelmed at getting a Wrestlemania win and the internet could just be internetting, so who knows.

zakharov posted:Roman can be great if he's put in a position to succeed. The anti-Roman people have fed off each other until he's become the worst jobber ever. I hope they take this opportunity to do something decent with him. If that exact match had happened with the Roman Reigns who was spearing guys out of their boots and triple powerbombing guys into month long vacations and who gave this promo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exDkCIZHzXg without any of the magic beans talk and people on here repeating "GOTTA MAKE ROMAN LOOK STRONG LOL" until they made themselves prodromal about it, then it would have just been absolutely loving insane.

I was wearing my Shield hoodie tonight.  There's never been a bad WWE show when I wear it. Something awesome always occurs. It is good luck, evidently.Top Bunk Wanker posted:If that exact match had happened with the Roman Reigns who was spearing guys out of their boots and triple powerbombing guys into month long vacations and who gave this promo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exDkCIZHzXg without any of the magic beans talk and people on here repeating "GOTTA MAKE ROMAN LOOK STRONG LOL" until they made themselves prodromal about it, then it would have just been absolutely loving insane.

yourdadsbestfriend posted:The one thing that annoyed me is that they wouldn't let Rusev kick out of an AA. I think he was the only singles wrestler who didn't get to kick out of his opponent's finisher. It even took two Tombstones to put down Bray, but god forbid Cena looks weak against anyone but Lesnar.

Am I the only one who felt the HHH/Rousey bit lasted a thousand years? It was worse than the Undertaker match, which never got off the blocks, but it felt like they paused 40 seconds after every sentence.

Heavy Metal posted:To be fair though, he was distracted by outside stuff right before the AA, so he was protected a bit there. It was much like how Cena was distracted from outside stuff before Punk gave him the GTS in their match, which protected Cena. They'll probably use that distraction to build up their inevitable rematch at Extreme Rules. Rusev won one match with a ball kick, Cena won one after Rusev was distracted by Lana, now they have the rubber match to see who is really the best.

MotU posted:Roman didn't do anything in that match except sit on his baby bottom he has not been underrated He's also still a pretty bad promo and I feel like people praising his passably threatening ones is some kind of low expectations thing. I suspect he'll be rehabbed because he'll get endless chances but I don't particularly care either way. edit: agreed that heel turn would be a good step one

HOTLANTA MAN posted:He kinda did, mostly got his rear end kicked then hit his signatures. Yeah, this is exactly what happened. He threw some punches, hit some kicks, pushed Brock into the post, and then hit a bunch of superman punches and spears. 90% of the match was Brock tossing him around while he smiled like an idiot for some reason I still don't understand.

Sheesh, those two are so good together. Let them hang out, they don't even need to be in tag matches but they play off of each other's mannerisms in a way that just doesn't materialize when they're on their own.

Just got back from Levi's, I am sunburnt to poo poo, and even if the booking almost completely bums me out that was a super-fun show to be at and we all had a great time and Seth Rollins rules. I'm curious to see if they futzed the audio on the broadcast at all, because outside of a pop for the superman punches the crowd was loving merciless every time Roman did anything.

I originally thought they should group Roman and Rollins for a little while but keep Ambrose face. After this though probably not but it would be best to get Roman heel again

Look at Brock Lesnar early-2000s versus Lesnar today. He went from a dozen power moves and a half dozen kinds of suplexes to two power moves, two suplexes, and his finisher. That is the current main event style, like it or not.

I mean you have Cena, the Make-A-Wish Childrens' Champion at the front of it, and it's USA versus the big evil foreigner, so it's all big unsubtle strokes that kids could understand. The only vaguely unpredictable thing in it how Lana figures in, although after tonight it seems likely she's splitting off. But just because it is an angle for children doesn't necessarily make it a bad angle, I suppose.
