Did you not watch Mania?
I get 75mbps connection with Comcast. Nothing else freezes, stuff like Netflix, Amazon video, youtube, blah blah blah. WWENetwork has been freezing on me more and more lately, especially yesterday where I missed the entirety of the women's match and most of the HIAC match and I had to watch it in my Moto G 2014 phone with the 3g on.
Strangely, after the HIAC match everything was A-OK. Someone either in this thread or in the WM thread reminded me that MLBMedia folks run the network and I completely forgot about that... maybe they just can't handle the load properly where everyone can run fine a live stream. Or maybe its my ethernet that's connected to a 5 year old router. Probably that... just too lazy to diagnose right now.

Because he got to destroy them? I agree.
Pretty much.
It was a dirty win over Sasha and a clean win over Becky all at once.
And now we get down to some Sasha/Charlotte business.
Hopefully they have something decent for Becky to do outside of the title scene.

Precisely.
When the other option is Taker and Shane barely being able to walk. Even if the Wyats were as slow as those two were, it would've been better for the simple fact that they'd be able to set more rest spots.

Well, you have a point there.
I still don't see how Bray and friends would have made it any better.
Don't pretend like Taker's solo match with Bray at WM31 last year wasn't the worst thing since Taker facing Giant Gonzales.
tfw you skip through Mania after work
It was fucking awful. The women's match saved it from having zero good matches on the show. Didn't give a fuck about the ladder, didn't give a fuck about the goon stunt show that was Shane/Taker and lmao AJ ahahahah. Crowd seemed super quiet for nearly the entire show (that's probably cos the stadium is too damn big I guess).
I didn't pay a dime to watch and feel bad for even giving it the time of day.

sir bleed-a-lot? nowhere near Nakamura and Zayn
My casual wrestling fans yesterday all agreed that the stage and ramp they used for WrestleMania this year was way too big.
All of these "larger than life" superstars look tiny as fuck on that huge ass monstrosity of a stage. Go back to some slightly simpler but unique WrestleMania stages and save some money so that a couple other PPVs can have their own sets again.

Joey Samoey should have won in Takeover. I like Balor, the house show tours he does people really like the guy and I'm sure he brings in tons of money for those tours, but... man. Joe should have won. Because now what does Balor do? Unless my boys Baron Corbin or Tye Dillinger get the belt... Balor has everyone beat. Unless Nakamura blazes through the division and wrecks Balor Summerslam weekend?
That's not what I'm doing at all.
They should bring back In Your House
I think Zayn/Nakamura was the best match of the weekend. But holy fuck, Joe looked like an absolute monster during that match against Balor.

Don't let the finish for Joe's match cloud your judgement. Imagine if he won. Joe is da best.
nakamura had his same match he almost always has. with the same spots. the people who thought it was the best match ever have likely never even seen his matches before or were caught up in the moment because his match with ibushi and tanahashi were far better because they used nakamura's spots and told a story. it was pretty much a 'here are nakamura's spots' showcase. where as joe made his match feel like a feud. which is the point of wrestling.

Him rage-throwing Finn over the barricade was insane. He looked like a fucking Red Lantern.
The match wouldn't have been better and would only have created a feud that retreads old ground that wasn't even good the first time.
Man, NXT shot so much life back into Joe. It's like he time warped back a decade.

I've yet to see any of the WWN shows except EVOLVE 58, but it sounds like Hero had an amazing weekend as well - Ospreay too, but I doubt you'll agree there haha.
Oh yeah, I'm sure many have said it already but I will say it too -- fucking Corbin should beat Aries. Even if Corbin ends up being a main roster dude today then he still should have beat him. Aries has all the time in the world to get his heat back and etc etc. Besides, Corbin was way more entertaining than Aries anyway.
I'm in a weird place where the match I enjoyed the most was Nakamura vs Zayn but the individual superstars I enjoyed the most were Joe and Asuka
Samoa Joe deserved the win. He looked like a monster. Such an awesome performer.

Joey is the best. The shots of bloodied Joe throwing Finn over the barricade was one of the highlights of the night
But they already did that. I don't want to see Joe wrestle Balor AGAIN because Balor has already beaten him twice. Even if it was by 'fluke' they already did that.
Gotta make Balor look strong was as bad as Jericho winning. Maybe worse. There is NO natural feud for Balor anymore. And Joe continuing to say 'yeah you got lucky again!' isn't going to work.

Lana backstage 'heat' - I think this boils down to one very simple thing - she isnt. Alot is rumors. No one I know has a problem with her.
The second person to give notice -
Return tonight -
Joey Samoey on Main roster debut -

I dont think it was but I think its apparent now that it was Brie.

There is a women coming back tonight though. 
Joey Samoey on Main roster debut -
Not tonight he isnt. Others are though.
I'd like to see Joe/Nakamura in NXT.
I agree.
Unless they bring Joe to Raw (and kill his momentum) there's was no point in Balor winning. I think they want to build NXT around him but Joe winning would be a better outcome I think.
I would be up for Joe just killing Balor. Going full crazy on him. They should've done some variation of that in Dallas. With the blood and all he looked unstoppable.

Nak/Sami is incredible for me in how much I shouldn't have liked it but did. It's comparable to some of the worst tendencies of Mania main events that are "epic" just because (HHH/Cena and HBK/Cena come to mind). Here there are two great guys I don't imagine being particularly interesting together and have no real story to speak of going into it. By the end, though, it added a much needed dimension to Sami where he looks a lot tougher and Nak gets about as good of an obligatory showcase intro as you can get. The fact that Sami was able to even get any sort of character development out of a nothing match is great.
But, yeah, Joe was on another level that night. Too bad they made the wrong call.

You could make Joe the dominant heel champion a la Vader and the WCW title which they've never done with the NXT title before. It's someone that a long reign would make sense for because he'd be the big obstacle. You could do Joe/Nakamura, Joe/Itami, Joe/Crews, Joe/Gable, Joe/Aries
Finn has beaten EVERYONE. You can't do Finn/anyone.

I don't think they've done Balor/Corbin, and Balor/Itami seems like a logical feud whenever Itami gets back from injury

It's a variation of the McMahon-Helmsley Era which started in fucking 1999....ugh
