Brock from Summerslam 2014 until mania 31 was one of the cooler things in wrestling history for me. It's been more bad than good since then.

Also, the Heyman promo is hinting it's Career vs. Career along with the title on the line. Goldberg gets shot into the sun, and then we get KO/Lesnar at Extreme Rules/Summerslam if that's when he does his rematch clause.

Mostly agreed. Though I'd start it at his first Cena match for Cool

Yeah, you're right. I amend my statement to say Brock was cool from mania 30 to the day after mania 31

That PPV was really, really terrible. How can Raw be so poorly booked and smackdown not when it's supposedly Vince running both, I don't get it

It was very cool at the time. Little did anyone know it would become Brock Lesnar's default match and he would never actually wrestle anything resembling a compelling match again, ever

To the person who asked why we watch when we don't enjoy it:

I don't know. This was a saddening experience of wrestling. Bad matches, atrociously horrible writing. Made me sad and considering cutting WWE network. I'll hobble through Wrestlemania at least.

Oh Snapple!

We watch because WWE actually has a lot of talented folks and we just desperately want them to do good things even while being confident that they won't.

I really want to like Goldberg. But he seems legitimately unable to wrestle. Watching him celebrate with him family after winning off a distraction and 2 moves was just pathetic.

DDP was a miracle worker who doesn't get half the credit he deserves for getting that match out of Goldberg. I don't give a poo poo if he had to plan it out in advance.

I'll always laugh that Goldberg concussed himself after doing a spear in that match.

I watched 32 while in the depths of sever anxiety and depression so I imagine 33 will at least have that on top of it.

32 still sucked rear end though.

Roman V Undertaker though....

UFC 209: "well, at least no one can put on a worse show than us this weekend"

WWE Fastlane: "...hold my beer!"


What a lovely show. Only thing that was good was Neville/Gallagher. The Goldberg match was booked as we expected. Roman/Brawn was ok but I question the booking. Joe vs Zayn was decent too.

Everything else was bad. The Cesaro/Mahal/Show/Rusev segment was especially brutal.

I just don't understand this part of the show at all. The while thing was weird and the fact that it was booked so high on the card really killed any enthusiasm that I had to see the final matches.

Sami/Joe should have taken this spot.

That whole sequence felt like they realized they had extra time so they went into the Fill Some Time With a Random Storyline playbook. I didn't think it was *bad* exactly, but it was something you'd expect on a random Raw, not a PPV.
