I still don't get the logic of eliminating Becky Lynch first unless they somehow plan to keep Asuka away from the Four Horsewomen for the time being so they can sell those match-ups at future PPVs.

They just super duper do not give a poo poo about Becky. I doubt they thought twice about any of it. Compare how Alicia being captain of Team Raw was a recurring thing that got worked into her character and given repeated airtime, and Becky being captain was basically pointless and the only story re: the whole team was if Nattie would be on it.

It was really good. Easily Brock's best match of the last three years and easily AJ's best match of the last three....I wanna say weeks, at least.

This is so great, and it's the most basic and straightforward thing in the world - talk up how great the opponent is because it gives you (in this case Brock) an excuse if you lose, and if you win then you just beat one of the absolute best in the world.

Brock Lesner just beat the best wrestler in the history of the industry, but here he is losing to Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania in 2018 and then retiring with his hot wife, beautiful children, and a lifetime supply of Jimmy Johns. The Big Dog transcends sports, entertainment, and even wrestling. Bow Wow. Please cheer for him.

On the one hand, this is happening and Christ it sucks. On the other, this gangrenous endgame has been permeating the product for three loving years and at least in April Vince will FINALLY have executed this moment he needs so loving badly and we can finally move on to SOMETHING, ANYTHING else. I genuinely think the eventual Roman top run will be preferable to this death march towards Roman FINALLY beating Brock when literally no one else can ever ever ever.

Not even close to true, Cena was over on Smackdown before he became "The Guy" and then it was over half a decade of the Super Cena stuff being pushed down everyone's throats at the expense of the whole roster. It's going to happen again once Roman actually goes over but this time the roster he's running through isn't people we don't want to see like Orton or Triple H, it's going to be the roster everyone else would rather see as champion like Styles, Joe, Balor, Owens, etc.

It'll be different at least, and we won't have the shadow of it hanging over every other bit of booking. What Vince's obsession will be after that who knows, but at least it is likely to be something else

I enjoyed the show, and I agree with Foochs on the main event. I of course get the Triple H stuff not working for people, and preferring that they'd use the opportunity to build Nakamura and Roode more etc. But I myself am a fan of Triple H, I get a kick out of the asskicker.

Man you didn't even need to have HHH actually be in the match to do the thing with Braun. Have him just be like, the coach or whatever like he was in 2014, then he Pedigrees Angle and Shane afterwards, Motorhead plays while he preens about like a jackass like "YEP IT'S ALL ABOUT ME BABY" and raises Braun's hand, then Braun gets pissed off and warns him, he tries to Pedigree Braun, murder happens.


It's a trick, the thread will be locked by then and thus unquotable!

So, will it be at the Rumble or Mania that HHH beats Braun?

I still think it's gonna be HHH vs Angle. That's also why I thought Smackdown was going to win though. I was sure Triple H and Angle arguing was going to lead to Raw losing and when Steph tried to fire Kurt for it he'd point it was Hunter's fault, and that would lead to a match or something.

Now the team won so Kurt is keeping his job, he'll still be mad at HHH but the latter also has him over a barrel in terms of authority/power so I don't really know how they'll get to the next step.

He could've done the cool and good parts of the night (Too Sweeting Finn, getting owned by Braun and then walking into a screen) from the sidelines. I appreciate him trying to get some shine on Nakamura and Roode but I would've more appreciated him and Shane not being in the match so it could've been built around those guys more.

Alternatively I'm changing my position, but it doesn't matter because you dumbass wrestling fans won't remember in a week anyway. :mmmhmm:

Owens and Rollins are my favs, and I'd like them to be the champs again sometime. And actually I'd like to see a babyface run for Owens. They'll have to be back up in the main event in the next couple years, and they'll both still be wrasslin' in 10 years.

Shut up, you old bat.
I'm surprised how boring most of this PPV was to me considering I was kind of excited for it coming in. The main event was a loving slog. I feel bad cause though I really like Kurt, I don't enjoy watching him in the ring anymore.

I do however feel extremely lucky to be able to watch AJ, that dude can loving go, what a performer.

Hell, Sanity last night made them look like loving scrubs in comparison. Push Sanity.

Takeover was riveting start to finish, SS tonight was mostly good too, Brock/AJ was awesome, though I had to :lol: at Shinsuke, Joe, and Roode being the first three eliminations in the final match and 46 year old dad bod Shane no-selling Sami & KO's sneak attack making them look like schmucks.

Every time I think it might get better after Roman finally gets through beating Brock in five months, I remember Vince still has that over a year reign spite booking Punk in his back pocket and it makes me :gonk: all over again.

As a team is one thing, but based on their singles matches over the years, I find Rollins better than Eric Young and Kofi for example. In general Rollins is top tier I find, and if motivated and with a decent angle to run with, Ambrose is one of the better character guys around I think.

Rollins is a good worker.

Ambrose is a good character.

Neither are well served as Reigns' props. He is a loving anchor that hurts both of them, and any heat they get is solely to put him over, now and forever, as far as the writers are concerned.

Rollins, Ambrose, Zayn, KO, hell, even Finn. All world class talents, all trashed because the writers are here solely to push Reigns and Brock because Vince has a six foot hard-on for them and cannot be denied.

That's not to mention midcarders like the Wyatts who went from over and popular with the fans to completely destroyed by the booking.

Shane McMahon got into my good graces by jumping off a cage at Wrestlemania, one of the few bright spots in an awful show. Similarly, he is jumping his rear end right out of those good graces by continuing to perform in the ring.
