Did Nash really tear his quad again because that would've been a perfect capper to the weekend

So is Byron Saxton going to win Worst Announcer of the Year based off tonight alone?

Vampiro is still gainfully employed

That's a better look for Solomon than his actual ring gear

Honestly AJ's promos ring kinda hollow when she's been phoning in every match for months on end while the Bellas have busted their asses to get better in the ring

She's basically 'slightly nerdy and socially awkward superfan.' Hugs everyone and gives one of her headbands to a girl in the crowd during her entrance. Kids loving love her.

Really, she's a lot like the John Cena squeaky clean kid-friendly babyface but not completely obnoxious.

Also unlike Cena, Bayley is allowed to lose a lot and use that to build sympathy, making her big wins mean a lot more.

Total Divas got picked up for a 4th season, but Cameron and Rosa Mendes aren't involved. That probably doesn't bode well for their future employment.

But now who's going to dance for The New And Improved Fandango :ohdear:

That's weird. Some of those seem a little high for what we got, but at the same time they also seem overall pretty low for "one of the best shows I've ever seen".

FWIW Dave clarified his thoughts after rewatching it on TV

quote:

Live I thought it was one of the better live wrestling shows I’d been to. Rewatching, it was a very good show, with no bad matches, several excellent matches and a great angle involving The Rock & Rousey vs. HHH & Stephanie McMahon, that should in some form lead to a main event match next year at WrestleMania at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. But it was not the best WrestleMania of all-time.

Live I thought as an overall show it may have been comparable to the Tokyo Dome show, not for match quality but factoring in presentation. After watching the TV, I don’t see it. It wasn’t as if it was two different shows, but live you get impressed with spectacle and watching on TV the spectacle is part of the show but it comes down more to matches. They were very good, but not in the league of the Tokyo Dome show. It was one of the more balanced WrestleManias in history because there was not a bad match. But it also didn’t have anything close to a match of the year or a candidate for best Mania match.

I still enjoyed Sting/HHH for the sheer absurdity and just thinking about it gives me a huge poo poo-eating grin. There's no way it will hold up on a second viewing, though, so I'll probably keep it that way.

Was the Uso injury on Sunday legit?

He got hurt on Smackdown about three weeks ago, which is why Jimmy worked solo at house shows. They took him out of Sunday's match early so he could get his Mania payday without having to actually wrestle.
