What was that wrestlemania with almost 0 1v1 matches? 2000? Let’s do that again.

50 man Royal Rumble? That sounds like a clusterfuck in the making.

Imagine the returns though. “OH MY, ITS DUKE DREOUSE”

Breezango still won’t make it into the rumble.

Coincidentally, WM2000 was also the first Mania where the heel went over in the main event

I prefer to think the vitriol is against Roman and Nia’s booking moreso than them. I know that’s the case with me.

Roman and Nia are never gonna be this generation’s Rock and Dump Matsumoto, but their booking is hindering their ability to get better.

Going by the trajectory of her booking, Nia may not even become this generation's Bertha Faye.

Nia crying after a loss like a bitch. Send her to the junk bin like Kharma, the loser bitch. Where she can stand next to Finn and Seth, the impotent non-over bitches who will lose to The Miz in a bitchin match. At least it will be better than The Big Bitch Roman Reigns still getting booed for his big bitch tits he has under his vest while doing everything they can to make dumb bitches boo Brock for owning. What a bitch. Bitch.

I am super excited to enjoy but ultimately feel let down by the Ultimate Deletion.

I hope they make two versions, give one to Vince to ruin, then get Borash to slip the real one into the computer on the night.

Wait. so are we getting Ultimate Deletion next week or at Wrestlemania?

If it is next week, then this will be the second time Detroit gets a pre-taped match like this for their Raw, since they last got the Wyatt Compound thing against New Day.

I remember my friend that attended saying that nobody cared about it and it was just a huge piss break

Dude, the stupid loving ring of lights completely blocked my angle of the titantron and I could not see poo poo during that entire loving segment. Also, some loving Kroger signs or something were partially blocking the Jumbotron so that was a no-go too. I strongly remember nobody caring about it at all. Some people half-heartedly waved their cellphone lights when, I guess, they realized they weren't gonna get to do it for an actual Wyatt entrance.

I think it's seriously as simple as "He's handsome, well-built, tall, is a pretty good worker, and speaks English. We'll corner the Hispanic market!" and then several months later you're left with a giant bill, somehow are involved in a handful of lawsuits and he's talking poo poo about you on twitter.

I highly doubt that Cena will be in the WWE Championship match, if only because I have latched on to the idea that I am getting Shinsuke vs AJ at Wrestlemania and I'm clinging desperately to that idea.


I can't fathom Cena's record-breaking title win coming in a B-show multiman match he was inserted into twelve days prior. WWE definitely doesn't hold Flair's record on the same level as, say, Taker's Mania streak, but it's not just there either. It's something that just feels has to happen at a Summerslam or Wrestlemania.

I'm sure Vince looks at his body and see money and also a chance to stick it to a guy that left before whereas ADR probably just sees them as another quick buck.

It'd be the most WWE thing ever if they messed up the sure money angle of Cena breaking Flair's record so watch them do it on a B show or out of nowhere

That Goldust promo was really really good, I enjoyed that. I also like that Asuka is being pushed and booked well, nice to see! The Raw had it's moments, like Iron Man 2 and whatnot. Well Iron Man 2 was actually pretty solid, "Get out of that donut!", or however Nick Fury puts it. If you guys haven't seen that movie, it's worth a watch quite frankly. Mickey Rourke with the Lana accent and whatnot, not bad.

Iron Man 2 was okay but it started the trend of Marvel movies undercutting their serious moments with jokes that's grown really annoying. Black Panther didn't do that, and that's why I thought Black Panther was pretty good.

I think the story they’re trying to tell is that Roman busts his rear end for the fans weekly while Brock doesn’t give a poo poo about them

IMO if there was one single competent writer at wwe i think it’d be interesting if they played up Roman as 'he's out here doing shows every day even though the crowd boos him nonstop'. however no one at wwe could pull that off without it backfiring hilariously

Yeah but as it is they ran this angle on the same night they ran an angle on how petty, evil, and weak the people who run the company are.

The claim is this has been in the works for awhile and is meant to be a PPV too? Even so, the biggest show they ever did in Australia was 50k right? And that was their first time there in a long time (ever?) with an absolutely stacked card during the height of the wrestling boom, from memory.

Ugh Maoism, why would you want to be forced to be a farmer comrade? Eh could be worse, could be trying to make me read their zines like the Trots.

But anyway I think Nia would play a better face than heel because I think she's just too nice to pull off the monster heel gimmick, despite the rumors that she has a huge ego and is refusing to improve and running to the Rock for protection. Would it have been better if she spent a year or two in NXT? Sure, but she is also pretty old.
