Let's SHOOT
Punks getting paid for interviews we know that for sure. Some mark was complaining Punk was mean to him during an interview even though they paid him. If he's doing those Comic Con appearances we know that gets him at least 20,000 per appearance. AJ is doing those so she's supporting her deadbeat husband. Punk probably got a nice signing bonus and he won money from Vince a year or two ago.

Already got knocked ooouuut.
(But I'd be glad to see him knocked out again. Oh my!)
And, of course, War Games: The Match Beyond!

Remember when Rocky Maivia was booed and hated by everyone but WWE kept pushing him anyway and he main evented 2 Manias in a row without any character change even though the fans still hated him?
Wife and I watched raw live for the first time since probably 2003 for me and more for her. We both loved it but turned it off for the main event because we don't care about Roman.
Why doesn't the network stream at a high frame rate like that? Wrestlemania would've been even slightly better than crap if they did. It was glorious to not have the low frame rate judder, everything was so smooth and crisp. The product looks nine thousand times better at a high frame rate.
Have they been broadcasting in a high frame rate for a while?

Are you saying that young blue chipper Roman Reigns is going places?
Vince McMahon sure does.

I think it was the one that mentioned he had 16 (practice) fights and lost 15 of them.
I didn't think Bray was fixable.
But then they went and did it.
What if Bray absorbs Roman's soul and he becomes Bray's puppet. I kind of like that idea. He'll be Bray's Rick Flair.
WWE doesn't allow as many in anymore. There's always a huge pile of confiscated signs at events.
Back when Raw had a bunch of signs, it was because WCW was banning them, so WWE was like "BRING YOUR SIGNS WE'RE COOL".. and now they've done the same thing.
When I bring a bedsheet I'll have it taped to my chest.
Then I'll unfold it:
"Zach better rate Wrestlemania 2000 F- or there will be people shot on"

Why does Vince hate freedom?

24 hours later and I'm still shocked how well Dr. Phil was used.
They finally found what can make Miz entertaining, they will eventually get it with Cesaro.

I expect your vehement hatred of WrestleMania 2000 to one day blossom into reserved appreciation, and then, into love.

Will Ospray vs Kamaitachi is match that could happen this year
He's now in the pantheon of good guest hosts along with William Shatner and Hugh Jackman.
Please do this. Everyone. I want you all to do this.

WM2000 has The Rock, and it also made a killer videogame. How anyone could hate it is shocking.
Halloween Havoc '95.
Triple threat eurocontinental title match is a personal favorite as well, especially the decision to book it so the champion isn't pinned either time.

The ppv is trash and whereas, the video game is phat.

I just realized Alberto Del Rio was a former WWE Champion. That just sounds wrong to me.
Also big congrats to Big Poppa Pump. Hope it works out for him.

Steiner and Buff in a program with New Day. Please. Give them a run with the titles.

The nostalgia trip is real.
Would've been cool to see how they would portray him in superfriends or Godzilla.
Royal Rumble '97
Let's face it, this was always going to be a two match show with the title match and the Rumble being the focus. Undertaker / Vader got some time along with Goldust / Lord H, but neither were great.
I was kind of interested in the AAA showcase with Héctor Garza, Perro Aguayo, and Canek vs. Jerry Estrada, Heavy Metal, and Fuerza Guerrera. It was a cool side thing seeing these guys on a WWE PPV, and Hector Garza was awesome, but knowing these guys don't mean shit in WWE meant it was just kind of there.
The Royal Rumble this year was okay....so many jobbers and AAA stars though. They did have a small pool of guys that truly mattered and it showed. Stone Cold got a great series where he was tossing fools left and right. But then....
Brett Hart happened. The Rumble was better from here on out, but not the best. Stone Cold took out Brett and secured his first Mania headline.
The main event was also great. Sid and HBK did some good work in this series. IMO, the Survivor Series match was better, but this comes close. HBK gets his belt back to set up a killer Austin vs Michaels main event at WM 13. Wink wink.

Rusev is better looking than Roman. He's got Lana, that's all the proof you need.
