How am I supposed to buy Reigns beating Lesnar when I don't really buy him beating Bryan?

 

[Pizoxuat]

I'm worried for the Wrestlemania main event. Bryan proves that Reigns can be cerried to a good match, but Austin said on his podcast that Lesnar is not a ring general. He's not the guy to lead the match in-ring. Reigns pretty clearly isn't either. So what do they do? Who is gonna lead this dance?

 

[Vestal]

Sometimes I wish Bryan and CM Punk could be shot on a rocket to the fucking moon just so marks can move on with their lives. Christ.

Sure.. Give me someone who can actually fucking carry a match.. I am all ears for, Ziggy, Cesaro, Rollins, Ambrose, or even Bray Fucking Wyatt.

 

[TomShoe]

Too boo him would require you to buy a ticket or subscribe to the network, so how are you not playing right into their hands?

.

 

[Alucard]

I enjoyed the strike exchanges in that match.

No NJPW strong style match, but still pretty decent.

 

[HOMEBOY OVER HERE]

so can they book bryan vs cena II at wm31?

 

[truly101]

Great match.

Finish I'm expecting at WM: Reigns takes it to Lesnar, still loses, Rollins cashes in, curb stomps Lesnar 8 times, takes the belt.

It depends on Brocks contract, most likely is Reigns pins Brock and then gets cashed in on by Rollins.

 

[Kurt Angle]

fuck this company

 

[Heroman]

Build up for WM. Got the fans to shut up about Bryan for a little while and put Reigns over in a justifiable fashion.

Honestly enjoyed the PPV.

Lol they didnt put over regins he gonna get booed the fuck out of wm31.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Ty gaf for the play by play. Saved my $9.99

 

[Sephzilla]

Now I hope Brock wins so the Age of Brock can live on past Mania

 

[Nose Master]

Match wasn't too bad. Reigns has potential, but his no-sell bullshit needs to be toned down a smidge. "Hulking up" sucked back then, and it sucks now.

Bray was the best part of the PPV, tho.

 

[cLOUDo]

bryan gotta love WWE to support all the disparagement

 

[Fox318]

so can they book bryan vs cena II at wm31?

They are gonna make Bryan job to Sheamus

 

[zychi]

I don't get this simple minded mentality where because someone is "new" you have to like them?

because everyone loved him in the shield and now hate him because hes passing up the golden boy DB for a WM main event. its hilarious how quickly WWE fans flipflop on someone

Show ain't in Philly. He's not Batista. No matter how much the smarks try to make him out to be.

Paul Heyman. Or the official. Or it'll last 2 minutes.

I have never loved Roman Reigns. Even during his Shield days. Although he was utilized well then to hide his weaknesses and showcase his strengths. Doesn't mean he's cut out for doing more than that.

 

[iceblade997]

Well said. After WrestleMania I'm not going to bother anymore. The show is too predictable.

I disagree, Brock can carry a match, but only if he is the aggressor most of the match. He can't carry someone to beat him and particularly in this scenario were he has been billed as the biggest Monster since Goldberg pre taser.

Shit I'm worried for Wrestlemania in general. Not going to be as good as last year that's for sure.

 

[Jmanunknown]

Bryan vs Sheamus, yuck.

Yea probably Bryan got demoted hard first its lets make Roman look great( which was the entire point of the feud) than its here lets have you wrestle sheamus at wrestlemania for the 100th time we promise we will not have you pinned 18 seconds it'll be 20 this time.

 

[NYR]

Now I hope Brock wins so the Age of Brock can live on past Mania

Dude. His contract is up and he has "unfinished business" in UFC.

 

[jmdajr]

Well...it wasn't a bad match..

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Hope we get a good old fashion WCW trash throwing at WM

 

[serenewarfare]

At least we now know Roman can at least participate in a good singles match.

We knew that at Summerslam when Orton carried him. The problem is he can't be the reason the match is good. He needs someone who can lead the match. Lesnar isn't that guy.

 

[RP912]

iwc reaction to Reigns winning.

 

[Sephzilla]

because everyone loved him in the shield and now hate him because hes passing up the golden boy DB for a WM main event. its hilarious how quickly WWE fans flipflop on someone

In actuality The Shield covered how mediocre Roman was as a singles wrestler and as a mic guy.

 

[BajiBoxer]

Rollins still has that briefcase.

 

[Mr.Swag]

The good
Rusev v Cena
Bryan v Reigns
Orton return
Tag match
Sting HHH confrontation
Renee young
Bray Wyatt

The bad
Paige v bella non ending
Six man tag (why big show/kane still got jobs?)

The ugly
Intercontinental match
Dust family issues.almost forgot about them.because don't care
Overall rating 6/10

 

[Fox318]

Sometimes I wish Bryan and CM Punk could be shot on a rocket to the fucking moon just so marks can move on with their lives. Christ.

you johnny ace?

Cena, Hogan, Khali, Sheamus, and Roman future

 

[Ninja Scooter]

bryan gotta love WWE to support all the disparagement

to hear HHH tell it he is fine with his role in the company and actually likes getting the crowds worked up when he loses.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Hope this means we get Daniel vs Dolph at Mania for like 25-30 min. At least it'd be a guaranteed 4 to 5 star match

 

[Heroman]

Show ain't in Philly. He's not Batista. No matter how much the smarks try to make him out to be.

Wm is the smarkest crowd there is, he gonna get booed.

 

[Ithil]

because everyone loved him in the shield and now hate him because hes passing up the golden boy DB for a WM main event. its hilarious how quickly WWE fans flipflop on someone

Yeah, I have never liked Reigns, right back to Leakee days. Tarring everyone with that "flip flop" brush is silly.

 

[Owzers]

Reigns/Bryan was the best match and i wonder if they purposely tanked earlier matches to make this one look better. Handshake at the end was embarrassing.

 

[Uno Venova]

How am I supposed to buy Reigns beating Lesnar when I don't really buy him beating Bryan?

Was there really anything he could have done to convince the smarter fans? They wouldn't 'buy' Roman dominating Bryan either.

 

[Kiever Sher]

Good last two matches, tag was good, Rusev is approaching GOAT status, happy with the special event. Of course I got it for free from godly Rupert Murdoch

 

[blackaroni]

No after show?

 

[Cruceh]

Show ain't in Philly. He's not Batista. No matter how much the smarks try to make him out to be.

Yeah, Batista is actually decent on the mic.

 

[Foggy]

Sure.. Give me someone who can actually fucking carry a match.. I am all ears for, Ziggy, Cesaro, Rollins, Ambrose, or even Bray Fucking Wyatt.

Last I checked they're still around and in great matches. Isn't that what we should be watching this stuff for?

 

[Vylash]

 

[Officerrob]

At least we now know Roman can at least participate in a good singles match.

Sure, if he's carried by a fantastic wrestler

 

[Foffy]

So, this episode of Sunday Night Heat was supposed to get people interested in subscribing for the WWE Network and in turn Wrestlemania?

This show? Hahaha.

Fuck the smarks.

love the salt. a decade of complaining about cena, vince pushes someone new. NO GIVE ME WHO I LIKE

Sometimes I wish Bryan and CM Punk could be shot on a rocket to the fucking moon just so marks can move on with their lives. Christ.

 

[VoxPop]

Dude. His contract is up and he has "unfinished business" in UFC.

Cain would just murder Brock again. Would love to see him rematch Mir for a 3rd time though. I honestly think it would be better if he just stuck with WWE and carried the company as their champion as their only watchable wrestler.

 

[Glorified G]

This wasn't Reigns looking strong, this was Bryan carrying and making Reigns look strong. Brock/Reigns is going to be terrible.

Bryan is going to ice his back later tonight due to the huge carry job he did. Reigns was gassed early and outside of a few signature moves he barely did anything.

 

[serenewarfare]

Show ain't in Philly. He's not Batista. No matter how much the smarks try to make him out to be.

Except he hasn't just been booed in Philly. Hell, he was booed most of tonight from a dead crowd. And even if that weren't true, Philly is much more representative of the WM crowd than any other casual fan town.

 

[Anth0ny]

we're gonna need an updated version of this

green as turtle shit

 

[HOMEBOY OVER HERE]

Hope this means we get Daniel vs Dolph at Mania for like 25-30 min. At least it'd be a guaranteed 4 to 5 star match

this match is so tired

there is just nothing special about it

bryan should be more of an asshole and actually politic his way to a big match at WM

ziggler should face another jobber or be in a battle royal
