Maybe they know they can make a classic out of it and saving it for something like wrestlemania...a bragging rights type of match where they want to see who the top dog is!*
*dream booking
Rusev's injured sadly. Shoulder injury.
Man I really meant it when I said we probably won't get it until WM35 or maybe SS next year. That just feels like something they'd pull out when they say "well what else will we do?" after they've faced most the people they can face. Like I can see them go at it after Nakamura's lost a world title and Styles has no feuds lined up just so they can please the fans because of the ring work and not for a title.

Pretty sure he's out on an injury at the moment. But yea he's been criminally misused on RAW, I'd love to see what he could do in the land of opportunity.
Those ratings are almost always crap. But that said, if I were to judge the main matches and use the system as is, so to me a 2 1/2 is average, then the only ones who strike me as above that is the ladder match and the AJ-Shane match. And those would be like 3 or 3 and a quarter. Nothing even remotely close to being a 4.
Goldberg and Lesnar told the best story of the show. The match was done as it should and wasn't overly drawn out or have many deadspots. Highlight of the show to me.
Yea it was a tight efficient match that did exactly what it needed to do. AJ/Shane was the highlight, but Bork/Greenburg was surprisingly fun.

Agree 100% on the Lesnar/Goldberg match. Was at a great pace, hit all their marks. Shinning light in the long long second half of Mania.
Damn, hope that means they spend the time to have someone good ready for him once he is 100%

Yeah me too especially with his new look. He's got a main event heel look about him.

Agreed. Ambrose for Owens would be great.
I hope AJ doesnt end up in boring and stupid feuds. It might be enough for me to start skipping Raw if they dont do well with him.
The drop in quality from AJ's SD title run to Orton is also pretty dire. And I liked the Wyatt thing initially.
Kinda expecting AJ/Reigns and Brock/Stroman programs going through the summer.
If it gives us AJ/Brock at some point, though... can't complain.
It would make a lot more sense if reigns went to smackdown to replace cena and as a way to draw out the inevitable showdown between him and Brock... but apparently he's staying put so I dunno

I can if it's the same shitty lazy formula he's been putting out for years... the guy is so damn talented but due to the suplex city popularity it's all he does.
If they send AJ to RAW I hope they keep him away from Reigns and the mid card for a while. AJ fighting for the US belt or being fed to Reings after all he did would be heart breaking.
Also, in my head, they backed down on Reigns for AJ because they don't belive Reigns would be able to carry the brand like Styles did.

They wont turn Reigns heel either. And honestly people probably shouldnt want him to turn heel because he'll never get comeuppance. Theyll just feed him guys and hope he gets over somehow.
I agree... but this is AJ styles we're talking about here.
He got a good match out of Shane. I trust he'll do the same with Brock.
Looks like he was drunk most of the weekend
Roman/Taker getting 3 means he was pretty fucking hammered by that point.

I honestly dont remember anything from the Roman Taker match apart from those botches, a bad last ride and the running spear thing.
His Cena/Miz rating was 2.25, not 3.25. The Taker match also included the retirement, since the match wasn't much of anything.
meltzer has a very mathematical, almost robotic way of ranking wrestling matches. I think this reddit post sums it up well:
like hhh/rollins is a 3.5* match on paper but when you consider the build, you consider rollins not selling the fucking injury at all, you consider we've been sitting on our fat asses watching worked athletics for 5 hours up to that point... 3.5/5 feels really god damn generous.

She sounds totally sane. You know with everyone obsessing over her etc.

Got back from the dentist and it's infected :/ On a course of anti-biotics, but least I don't have to have the tooth pulled (for now).
I'm sure you'll break a hip out there
He'll get to be a transitional champion for the Lesnar/Roman feud
