Still looking forward to Wrestlemania, but man if I can't have the Roman Experiment given up on, I wish they'd at least not make it the main event in favor of AJ/Shinsuke (which will never happen, I know) That Finn/Seth match was cool as hell though

This feels like WM31 going in, which seemed like it was going to be absolute dogshit. Lets hope it similarly exceeds expectations (it won't). Also...no Demon?

Also it really sucks the cruiserweight title match is gonna be pre-show, I would have loved to have seen that curtain jerk the main card, especially if Ali wins. Would have been a great moment more people would have gotten to see

So I hope Undertaker comes out tomorrow night on Smackdown and calls John Cena a moron because he's a Smackdown superstar, so Cena should have laid out the challenge there instead of on RAW.

Watching the final bit, an idea came to me. People mostly say the Superman Punch doesn't look very good most of the time; I think the WWE should use that and should sell it as a roulette kind of move. When you decide to punch someone by running in and jumping, you're adding variables to the blow that can just as likely weaken it as make it better. So when Roman does it, he might get a normal punch, a stronger punch, a brushed off blow, or a full on knockout strike, and he's running the risk every time he uses it that he'll whiff it and get countered. It would probably make repeated punches more exciting in a vacuum, at least. Heck in a way that makes it like Superman himself, who goes from being smacked around by average threats to being smashed through planets and just getting mad, depending on the story, writer, and execution. Or would this require way too much thinking for the average wrestling audience? It's basically the classic technique of turning a weakness into a strength.

fart blood posted:I won’t believe that. If it happens at Mania, I’ll believe it. I remember how at WM 32, despite it all, when Roman won the title again there WAS a pop. Maybe not a blow the roof off one, but there was one. It basically made me think "Okay, all things considered, either fully commit, or don't be surprised when you're ignored. The slightest hint of flip-flopping is all the usual suspects need."

Also I seriously can't believe Taker didn't appear tonight to make the match official for the advertising going into the show itself, and it's seriously just going to be a kayfabe "surprise" match. Like, even when he didn't appear at all for the build to the Bray match WWE at least acknowledged the Mania match was happening in the advertising so it wouldn't detrimentally affect the subscription numbers, but poo poo, this one not being officially on before the show is probably going to cost them at least a few thousand, if not tens of thousands, of fans who'd probably turn Network on for a month just for that match. There's probably a decent number of lapsed fans who don't routinely pay attention to TV anymore that'd go "Oh poo poo, Taker & Cena are fighting at Mania! Gotta see this!"

Jerusalem posted:Oh that's really cool Glad he's getting work, having Finn and Balor in the ring is obviously the biggest part of why the match was good but a good producer can certainly help elevate a match, so hopefully this is a good sign that Tyson's got nice ring agent chops to help everybody out. The more I think of it the more I feel that an agent is most valuable to people who are already super good because they can help them come up with creative ways to build off past matches or creative counters to moves and count on that stuff to actually be pulled off well, whereas if you have even one person in the match who doesn't really have the wrestling chops to pull off a creative and cool sequence of moves then it doesn't really matter what the agent can come up with or add to the match, and it could actually do more harm than good. It certainly looks like we're on course for the IC title and WWE title matches to steal the show, but I have faith in Brock/Roman being good to great as well based on their last WM match actually being way better than expected, and if Brock is done in WWE I expect him to pull out all the stops on his way out.

A brawl between Cena, who bought a ticket, and some big grandpa looking guy called Mark, who doesn't have his hat or gloves anymore.

I am extremely hosed off that the Cruiserweights got pre-showed. The wrestlers literally parting for Roman is legit, no joke, one of the cringiest things I've ever seen.
