RIP Rosey. 
I used to have the dual package of him and the Hurricane which also came with the orange and green masks the two respectively had. Loved wearing them.
Roman and his family have my condolences.

From what I remember the original plan was Flair vs Hogan but there were some ego issues plus apparently they ran the match at house shows and it didn't go over super well
Weren't they trialling Hogan V Flair on house shows and it didn't go over with the live crowds for some reason?

In the Lapsed Fan 30-days of Mania they talk to Meltzer about this and IIRC big Dave didn't even know why.
That brief period of Flair int he WWF was very odd when we look back on it
Hmm, I think this is what Dave said and he also stated it was a period where fans were growing tired of Hogan.

If they wanted to take the belt of Bayley, a cool thing to do is have Bliss win it at Payback and then form an alliance with Nia.
I still think Nia and Bliss as a team would work... at first I thought it might be champ Nia with Bliss as her talking piece but champ Bliss with Nia as the muscle also works...
That said they completely didn't tease that at all this week and went the opposite way in fact so watch out cause we might get a Nia vs Bliss match and yeah that's going to be bad...

To be fair Flair actually had money that he was owed over the belt which is why he treated it as his property.
The argument made is that the Hogan vs Flair house shows apparently didn't set the world on fire.

Alexa getting the belt just makes me worry we're set for another period of hot-potatoing the belt since Sasha vs Bayley seems a lock at Summerslam for the belt (likely with the SD match being Charlotte vs Becky).
But at the same time Payback's in Bayley's town.
Hogan vs Flair never happened at WrestleMania despite WWE having both of them at the roster at the same time.
Sting vs Undertaker never happened at WrestleMania despite WWE having both of them at the roster at the same time.
Yet people still believe Vince McMahon is a genius

Yeah.. I mean you could do the match without the belt... That might actually be ground breaking for Raw, a women feud not about the belt... Problem is who the fuck would face Bliss because damn Raw lacks women faces after Sasha turns... James I guess but ugh James and Bliss don't work well together.
I think Bayley retains at Payback though.

I wonder if Triple H had any influence in him fighting Sting. If he did I wouldn't be surprised.

Nakamura vs AJ styles won't happen at wrestlemania despite wwe having both of them on the roster at the same time.

He actually used that one once after he become the Corporate Champ
Plus there was actually some shitty one he used in between the two

I edited to mention this. The matches were going over and fans were not into Hogan anymore. Which is why Mania 9 is such a weird fucking Mania.

Yes Dato, we knew all along Flair was no good.

Vince is going to make Braun Strowman jump Roman at his brother's funeral isn't he...

Macho vs Flair did decent business...
Also I think there's a decent chance we get Nakamura vs AJ at Mania 34.
Its interesting.... I think AJ not going to raw changed a lot of plans... I think AJ not going is why Owens and Ambrose switched and why Bray went instead.

I was going to ask why Hawkins is taking up a roster spot, but then I realized he's a jobber with some charisma. Something the WWE lacks

Sting/Taker not happening is all the proof I need to confirm Vince is a Grade A jabronie.

They didn't know wtf they were doing. He should've kept his nation theme. The rock's laying the Smackdown
Probably why they moved him over. Smackdown already has THE BIG HOG.

Was the Cleveland crowd dead or has Balor already cooled off ten-fold?
Flair vs Macho definitely didn't do decent business. There's a reason Vince let Flair leave before his contract was up

I love seeing Ambrose fans reacting to Miz's shoot.
When Roman or Cena or anyone else wrestle a basic match with their five moves of doom they're boring and shitty wrestlers. But when Ambrose does it he's just trying to make his career last longer which makes it okay for him to have a shitty match.

My visual memory of this happening is hilarious!
Vince McMahon
Looking back at the highlights, I'd say the crowd was dead at that point. They sat through the cruiserweights and a women's match that probably went on too long.
Also Curt Hawkins.
Savage vs Flair did draw in WCW though.

So everyone's a draw then?
You needed to replace Sting with Everbody not Nobody,
Damn RIP
WWE STATEMENT
WWE is saddened to learn that Matt Anoai, known to fans as Rosey, has passed away at age 47. The son of WWE Hall of Famer Sika and older brother of WWE Superstar Roman Reigns, Rosey grew up in the legendary Anoai wrestling dynasty.
He debuted in 2002 alongside his cousin Jamal as part of 3-Minute Warning. The imposing, powerful tandem tore through Raws tag team division before going their separate ways. Rosey then formed a beloved superhero duo with The Hurricane, which culminated in his first World Tag Team Championship reign.
The Anoa'i family shared the following statement:
"The Anoai family is mourning the loss of Sika's son, Matt aka Rosey, due to an untimely death.
We want to let his fans know that he loved them and the wrestling world so much. In his passing, he left three beautiful young children and a heartbroken family. Please respect the privacy of his children and family as they mourn the loss of this kind, loving, gentle man, who was a father, son, brother and a superhero to us all.
Our family appreciates your prayers and continued support during this very difficult time."
WWE extends its condolences to Roseys family, friends and fans
