Really the best possible result. Take the belt off the part-time champ while still having Brock look like a monster and save us from a Reigns title run. And everyone ends up pissed at Seth, who is awesome.

TEGGS posted:Was the Bray/Taker match good? Did it seem close? I'm rather bummed to see he lost. He got in some offense, kicked out of a Tombstone, and they did a "crabwalk versus the sit-up" spot. I'd rather he go over, but he looked reasonably credible against Taker and didn't get squashed or anything.

Paige looked oddly sad when she hugged AJ twice after they won that match, and she said something to her - some people are saying it looked like "I'm really going to miss you."

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:Am I wrong to think of this angle as The Angle For Children? There's nothing unpredictable about it. Not really. 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.

Top Bunk Wanker posted:It wouldn't be nearly as awesome if Brock did a bunch of different suplexes instead of just endless Germans. He does a belly to belly too, and a couple variations like release suplexes. I feel like suplexes inherently have more variation to them visually anyway, and they just look so loving devastating. Brock uses suplexes at this point like normal wrestlers use punches and it makes him really distinctive and scary. I don't think you get that from repeated Superman Punches.

Niwrad posted:I'm at a point where Undertaker matches aren't about the in-ring stuff, it's about the attraction. He's not going to put a great match on with a 57-year old Sting. And they have zero history together to make it memorable. Yeah, I don't know who you could put Undertaker up against at this point and actually have a good match, aside from DB who can probably carry a sack of concrete to at least three stars, but there's no history or compelling story there. Kane would make the most sense, especially if they BOTH retired off the match.

Mystery Opponent posted:So are there scoops about Ronda's appearance? It looked like they were building a future program, but Dana can't be too keen on letting one of his biggest draws working a WWE match Word is that Dana signed off on it beforehand. I doubt it's actually a future program and not just a one-off Wrestlemania moment, but who knows.

Cornwind Evil posted:The main interesting thing is going to be how people react to Reigns when they're not in the middle of a smark black hole. They need to take him off TV at this point and repackage him. Or heel turn him. Right now he's a burning trash heap to the audience and they're trying to fix it by throwing more poo poo into the blaze.

Desumaytah posted:Rollins is my favorite in a way I never knew I wanted. 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. quote:One of the awesome things to come from Rollins' character is that he really is that goddamn good (It's why HHH decided to hitch his wagon to him in the first place), but now that he's in a position of authority, he has the option to politic to keep himself in advantageous positions, and he's also good at that, and it's easier, so why not? 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.

sticklefifer posted:I do like that about him, but the whole "You're here to have fun and you can say what you want and I respect that because THE WWE UNIVERSE IS THE GREATEST AUDIENCE IN THE WORLD!!!!" shtick is incredibly transparent. Especially since WWE has repeatedly demonstrated that you can't really say whatever you want and they'll actively try to discourage you or take your signs/outfits away if you don't like who they want you to like. Oh, it's super transparent but at least it's better than getting all salty about a bad crowd reaction.

It seems a little bizarre to me that if this wasn't a last minute call (as they say in that article) that they wouldn't tell Rollins until the middle of the show. "We wanted you to surprise...yourself when you ran down to the ring"

Ty1990 posted:I just re-watched Reigns/Lesnar for the 3rd time. The match is awesome. Lesnar is amazing. And you know what? Reigns was really loving good too and he's had 2 great matches in a row now. You can't deny he has talent. Clearly he needs more seasoning but the guy has a bright future. I can totally deny he has talent. He's mediocre at best.

Yeah, he's even got his insurance business all set up and everything for when he retires and has basically said he's ready to at any point. Leaks about salaries are kind of all over the place but by most accounts he's making either close to a million or slightly over, and I can see why he'd hang around and job and do backstage segments for as long as they want to keep dishing out that level of cash. It's not like he has a particularly strong or coherent legacy to protect.

Astro7x posted:Is now the time where we all poo poo on AJ and say how horrible she was or something like that? I think it's where we reflect on how WWE took someone who's lifelong dream was to be a part of their promotion and crushed it out of her in around five years. She's pretty good and will make plenty either on the indie circuit or just doing appearances if she still wants to work.
