2 of the 3 "main events" have cards in which every person involved will be cheered for slightly different reasons. That's pretty good. Jericho and Styles put on fun matches. New Day doing anything is awesome. Sasha-Becky-Charlotte will be good. And the ladder gently caress fest should be good as well. AND YET, the general stink and apathy towards the Reigns/HHH match has basically put a poo poo stink on the whole thing.

This is honest to God true and it is AMAZING.

I went to the raw and had a great time making GBS threads on the bad things and cheering the good. Upper level was the best crowd and hard cam side was the worst.

Havent had that much fun at a raw in a while. It was nice seeing the coach.

Or other obvious ending: Austin comes out, stunners Taker, throws Shane on top of him and flips off Vince as he spazzes out at ringside.

Cena would be good, Austin would be perfect as a one-off and I hope it's what happens, the crowd won't even be sad to see Taker lose if they get to see Austin combined with knowing Shane will run Raw. I don't know if Cena's the type of guy to end a legend's ability to wrestle on WM just to put another guy in charge, but I can totally be Austin being willing to do it just to stick it to Vince.

The commentary called Reigns vs. HHH the main event like all throughout the final segment, so I'm just assuming that's going on last. I'm sure other WM's have ended in boos, but it's just such a weird notion to see the conquering hero getting huge boos to close out the show, and not the rare instance where a heel retains the title at WM, or Austin turns heel with Vince to close out WM, etc.

It really is a case where Reigns/HHH will cast a shadow over the show too. Dean/Lesnar will be great, Shane/Taker will be great for spectacle if not workrate, New Day always delivers, the IC ladder match will be a fun spotfest, none of the rest of the card is aggressively offensive (the closest may be the "throw all the divas in a match" ...match, but that's usually there anyway), but unless they work some real magic on what is almost certainly the last match it's going to leave a sour taste.

I am legitimately really loving excited for the Raw after WrestleMania

This Mania season has been like the time I had C. Diff (a staph infection that came not entirely far from killin' ya boy) and I was taking medicines that made me want to die but I knew I needed to do it to get to better things and I knew that was probably going to be the worst I'd ever feel physically speaking so there was this odd serenity and optimism even in the suffering.

What I'm saying is this WrestleMania is C. Diff.

1. Glad you made it, staph infections suck and are unfun

2. I'm looking forward to seeing Enzo & Cass and Bayley debut. Maybe they'll even give the team a title reign and not gently caress up Bayley, but I'm absolutely not that optimistic yet considering how easily this build hosed up every feud except maybe Dean/Brock, so I'll just settle for them having decent debuts the company doesn't gently caress up. Hopefully that can be achieved.

But since I'm watching at home and I would expect that HHH/Reigns is the final match, I can just go over to see who gets killed on The Walking Dead or do anything else. I refuse to let the booking of this match taint the rest of the evening.

SamuraiFoochs posted:

I mean I get it but it wasn't a one on one encounter and there were all kinds of shenanigans. I'd still say Sami besting him in a singles match will be a big thing.

Right, but you only get one first pin. Like the best equivalent I can think of is Raven and Tommy Dreamer, for years they managed to avoid giving the fans what they wanted to see, Tommy getting a pin over Raven to the point that even when Tommy beat Raven in a tag match it would be his partner who got the cover.

Sami pinning Owens will mean little not just because they haven't protected the finish but equally because they seem absolutely determined to not actually use any of the history they've built up for them under their own umbrella, and I don't see this changing anytime soon.

It's kinda funny that something's on pace to happen at both Mania and Walking Dead on the same day. That's the best thing I can say about it aside from "hopefully it doesn't end on a loving cliffhanger this time"

If Dean gets his hand raised due to Wyatts interference, that would be extremely disappointing. There's probably a 50/50 chance of that happening, sadly
