really not understanding the Rollins love. He's a snoozefest on the mic and his offence is usually just a bunch of indy flippy nonsense.

But I think the majority of the forum actually likes the young bucks so that probably explains things

Can I just say I think Reigns deserves some props for his part in the main? I'm pretty sure some of that was at least quasi-shoot (dude lost a tooth, wrecked Brock's eye, and Brock ragdolled the gently caress out of him for like 15 minutes), and Reigns did that for ostensibly nothing, and I bet he was the first one to hug Seth in the back.

But yeah IMO the visual of him SMILING at Lesnar even as he was getting murdered was the coolest thing he's done in ages, and I honestly hope the Roman hate dies down some now that he took that beating and didn't win.

I thought that was a worked tooth :stare:

I'm a broken record on this but there's a fine line between Taker's entrance looking scary and ridiculous, and that line is daylight.

I think they learned their lesson, there probably won't be another open air mania for at least another 20 years

I think it was understated this year and that was OK. You couldn't go over the top, so they didn't.
I think Bray's entrance was hilariously bad, but would've been incredible in the dark.

I like it but then again, i'm a huge bray fan and spooky scarecrows are my favorite horror thing

I don't know about that. Maybe not on the West Coast.
EDIT: The network number wasn't AS GOOD as they were hyping it to be, but I didn't think it would tank the stocks. No clue.

SamuraiFoochs posted:

on both counts.

Also I heard smarks online bitching about Roman laughing at Brock when it was literally the coolest thing he did all night. If Ambrose had done it people would love it, as they should. It loving ruled.

Also I'm fine with Roman being kayfabe stronger than 2014 Taker because he is not an old man. Everything about that main ruled by all three men. Yes Brock did most of the work but it took three to tango last night and they all nailed it. Even Roman's body language when Brock WOULD NOT go down was perfect.

tbh, it's what i wanted bray to do when taker sat up

DeathChicken posted:

I was kind of sad that the real payoff to the whole "Nobody can actually give Stephanie any comeuppance as a character" thing was right there with Rousey, but then they just kind of let that go, so now I have no idea where the blowoff is for her character (Answer: There is none, Authority will be a thing as long as the NWO was).

They're setting up for a rock/rousey vs hhh/steph match

DeathChicken posted:

I guess, but setting up Ronda vs Stephanie one year in advance strikes me as even more weird than setting up Rock vs Cena one year in advance.

she can't be on tv all the time so they have to set her up when she is, the ppvs

ChaosSmurf posted:

I really don't think Rousey will ever be in a honest to goodness wrestling match while she's still doing MMA. In someone's corner, jumping in the ring to do arm bars or whatever, sure. Actually having the bell rung and pinning somebody, nah.

Having thought about it some more, while the storylines and so on of this show weren't as good as previous, the moment to moment spots were incredible. The curb stomp to RKO, Rock/Rousey, Reigns' comeback, the cash in, etc - just really good, spectactular moments. There's tonnes of them just in the main event. Good work by the wrestlers, basically.

It's going to be judo throw, punches then arm bar, tap

that's your ronda rousey match

They can't seriously be considering that...

I know it's wrestling, but I am not buying in to Rousey vs. anyone currently on the roster in a match that doesn't end in a tapout after 20 seconds.

but you can buy brock getting beat up by anyone on the roster?

DeathChicken posted:

It would be incredibly amusing if Stephanie got a bunch of training montages preparing for her fight with Ronda (kind of like when Shane had Vince chasing chickens around while yelling about eating lightning and crapping thunder), then just gets tapped in five seconds. But yeah, I don't see them setting that up one year in advance. Or at all, it was probably a one-off cool Mania thing.

the match is what meltzer is predicting

StarkRavingMad posted:

His little "haha check THAT out...oh gently caress, that didn't even stagger him, run for it" was awesome. And it felt like my experience to date playing Bloodborne.

I said it in the gameday thread, but having someone who is kind of tricky but still competent may be the perfect foil to Brock the Monster. Causing Brock to go crazy and get himself suspended is the most effective thing anyone has done to Brock since he came back.

It's Eddie vs. Brock but with the faces and heels switched
