Can't believe Graves recycled that line for the Raw after Mania again this year.

Probably a Vince edict.
Which seems dumb when the crowd cheered and booed everyone they normally cheer and boo.

Yeah, people are gonna definitely bitch about Roman. Was the match bad on TV? Maybe I just got caught up in the moment and spectacle, but I thought it was pretty decent - better than HHH vs Roman at least. You could tell Taker gave everything he had left and more. That damn super spear finisher was the fucking worst though.
And yeah, Bray/Orton II sucked. From my perspective, it was the only bad match on the card. Women's fatal four way seemed off too.
AJ could make Zach look good in the ring.

Roman v Taker? it was abysmal, mostly because of Taker really, who should have retired like 5 years ago
I cringed through most of Taker vs Roman. It was hard for me to watch.

God damn this game broke my heart.
I was so hype when I saw there was a WWF game for Dreamcast. Can't believe I bought that piece of shit.

Even though Taker/Roman was not pretty and obviously a tough match to watch, I was still more interested during that match than I was during HHH/Seth. Holy shit, that was dull.

Yeah my main issue with CFO$ is this. Even their GOAT themes like Roode, Nakamura and Balor are barely 2 minutes of music which is considerably noticeably given all three of them have entrances that can go four minutes or more.

I remember being in awe because it was in our arcade. Shit was a buck to play and it's not like you were very successful at playing it tbh. My goal was to purchase a DC just to buy this and attitude. I'm still going to.

Sasha vs Meltz is hilarious because the dude compliments her all the time and has said she's his favorite female wrestler in America but she's always like 'who the fuck is this dude'.
It had 19 total wrestlers and TWO MODES. Exhibition and Royal Rumble.
That's it. The game had nothing else.

Aiden English v. Drifter sing off would bring catastrophic nuclear heat and I'd love to see it.
Please. Roode's entrance theme just loops when that happens.

Oh Triple H.
It's twice now that he's tried putting his boys over in a great match and it's twice now that he's failed.
Watch him try to feud with Ambrose again now because they had an actual good match together.

Woah woah woah, I kind of liked it. Sure it was short on features and got boring fast but but well I liked it enough.
Which means they would get over, right?
Lol short on features is an understatement.
Wait until you get to 99/2000.
still better than the last 10 years of raw

For a 25 minute unsanctioned match, it had shockingly few shenanigans or smoke and mirrors. Did they even use the sledgehammer outside of teasing it?
There was definitely some hubris going on there on Triple H's part to not involve Joe and Balor in the match.
Trips putting his boys over his idol. Damn.
Maybe they're hoping he explodes in the middle of a match like a sci-fi villain.
Good, honestly. Other WWE stars and the company it's self burying current talent has been a problem for over 10 years.

Yeah, I think my main problem with the match was that I was so disappointed. I worked myself into expecting at least a Joe run-in and maybe even a Finn run-in.
Instead we got Seth repeatedly jumping between overselling his knee and then acting like it didn't even bother him, Triple H occasionally trying to be a technical wrestler and other slow spots that the crowd didn't care for.
The last five minutes were good but that still leaves twenty minutes of boring ass action.
This is a good thing no?
That's one thing I kind of hate about the old school era. Bullshit countouts and DQs. I know you need them to keep people from losing, but at Mania shit should be settled.
PAYBACK!

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
It makes me laugh that "face that runs the place" still pulls up Cena on Google when AJ has pushed that line way harder than Cena ever did.

Out of curiosity, how did everyone here on WrassleGaf feel on the choice to break the Shield up during what was arguably their hottest moment as a team by beating Evolution for a second time.

He should keep talking. Less Charlotte, the better.
I think most of us thought it was fucking stupid. I mean we marked at the moment, but terrible idea overall.

Must have missed the main event of WM30 then. At the casino maybe?
Yep I completely agree.
And that HHH/Rollins match was disappointing. Austin/Keller talked about it on Austin's WM review and when I tell you that they were spot on, I mean it. That match didn't do much for Rollins and this was supposed to make him but in the end it looked like a regular ppv match. Even that whole torch thing didn't work because Rollins wasn't "burning down the kindom", HHH didn't look like a king so it doesn't line up. Austin cracked me up at one point when he was saying HHH was still trying to be the badass even though Rollins is supposed to rise up and beat him.
"It ain't time to the be the badass anymore, you just rode out on a trike!"

I keep telling myself I don't have time to listen to Jericho's podcast yet I listen to The Lapsed Fan every week. I should try to fit that back into my rotation. Do you still have to skip the first 10 minutes or so?

I'll bring my little friend too.
And it hits harder than a sledgehammer
Yo Blue, I'm here
Listened to the Reigns one last night and only skipped a few mins but it was entertaining.

Didn't Ric shoot on Bryan during the infamous 2k14 panel by saying he felt he didn't deserve to be there alongside the rest of them? Granted this was pre-WM 30.
My translation since I heard the same thing and that's not what he said.
"Rollins entrance was fucking lame."

Should've used Kane's pyro. ANY pyro really
Also UNSANCTIONED, UNARMED, UNCENSORED felt like a perfect setup for Seth Rollins to use the Curb Stomp to win, that would've been exciting. Sponsors and all, so I get it, but still.
