And FIP's main event was short too. Man. Not even an hour and a half. Kind of disappointed too. Best match was first match on the card. Insane that they put that match on first.

They put the card in reverse order, they said the first match was the main event.

You could fit Nikki Cross in your pocket.

They want to see the conqueror Roman Reigns get his first Wrestlemania Retirement Moment on the list

 

[Bluekaveli]

BOOKER T IS GOING TO MANIA!

 

[Damn Silly]

By sheer coincidence, the last match I watched as part of watching past Manias was Bret vs Austin from WM13.

So, uh, no pressure WWE.

 

[Data West]

Plenty of people last night..

plenty of people say NXT was 'great' every week. in fact, its always the same people.

 

[FlammableD]

didn't catch if anyone had posted the promo shots.

Are you going to name these so called people? If not don't generalize.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Are they gonna introduce squared shaped sideplates for the NXT belt?

 

[Bluekaveli]

I would've accepted an all silver with a pink X for that women's belt just to really differentiate them.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Men's belt looks bland, I quite like the other two though

Tag belt is a huge upgrade, moving away from a more unique women's belt to a homogenized "championship design" is kinda ehh....but it looks cool?

 

[half a moon]

Had a nap. An hour early

Why not make the Men's belt blue instead?

 

[whatevermort]

I pretty much loved that Takeover. No matches I didn't enjoy, which is a miracle where most PPVs are concerned. I really enjoyed both tag matches especially. I'm genuinely wondering if, with the return of the Hardys, we're going to see a true resurgence in that division.

 

[FlammableD]

The new belts aren't the most exciting, but I think that's for the best. If they'd have been bad it would have been a disaster.

Glad the women = pink phase is dead.

ooh, well spotted, looks like it.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Why not make the Men's belt blue instead?

Nah but it follows the previous colour scheme.

 

[Syder]

My only problem is that the N and T are partially obscured by the big X.

I don't think so

They have a lot of tag teams right now and they don't seem to know what to do with them

The Hardys' strength has been their character work, and right now they already have Enzo/Cass and New Day

I mean it's similar to the Dudleys coming back and doing fuck all, and they're probably better workers than the Hardys. They just haven't reinvented themselves in an exciting way like the Broken stuff

I had that dream last year. But American alphas struggles (on Smackdown, the better show) has given me pause.

The Brand Splits have always heen most punishing to the tag division, which the WWE hasnt valued since the TLC days.

 

[HazySaiyan]

Does anybody else go through phases where they're just not in the mood to watch wrestling?

 

[SallyIsNow]

No

 

[Bluekaveli]

Matt Hardy taking Benoit to school. That Mattitude is something serious.

 

[31GhostsIV]

Does anybody else go through phases where they're just not in the mood to watch wrestling?

Yeah. From the Mania in '04 until the Rumble where Punk lost to Rocky I wasn't in the mood at all.

And tonight so far.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Does anybody else go through phases where they're just not in the mood to watch wrestling?

Every time Monday Night Raw comes on. Sadly I still watch anyway.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Does anybody else go through phases where they're just not in the mood to watch wrestling?

In general? That's normal. You been watching too much of it as of late or are none of the promotions doing anything for you?

If one doesn't do it for you there is so much more.

It just happens sometimes I guess, like even stuff that I know is good I just can't be bothered to make the investment to watch. I'll snap out of it eventually and watch again.

Nah, I just go through phases where I get pickier about what I watch.

 

[Pikma]

Every time John Cena shows up on whatever I'm watching

Except Southpaw Regional Wrestling

 

[SallyIsNow]

Watching the network, no Stone Cold live podcast this year? Is Austin likely to make an appearance?

Spoiler

“The WWE Championship we didn’t have to defend that often because it’s already an established championship, but now you have two competing championships and you don’t want to be the champion that is not as visible as the other champion. So, we’re going to take the Universal Championship and do something with it because that’s what Brock Lesnar does. It’s not that the championship will define Brock Lesnar, it’s that Brock Lesnar will define the championship.”

You from Europe or US?

US East. 440pm

Meltzer said that he is fairly certain that there are no plans for Austin at Mania.
Of course , things change.

I'm pretty sure the Universal Championship is considered the best already. WWE tried hard to make sure of it.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Ambrose potentially on the pre-show, I can't.
